Phenol and its chlorinated derivatives are introduced into the environment with wastewater effluents from various industries, becoming toxic pollutants. Phenol-degrading bacteria are important objects of research; among them, representatives of the genus are often highlighted as promising. Strain 7Ba was isolated by enrichment culture.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFbacteria are renowned for their remarkable capacity to synthesize antibiotics, namely mupirocin, gluconic acid, pyrrolnitrin, and 2,4-diacetylphloroglucinol (DAPG). While these substances are extensively employed in agricultural biotechnology to safeguard plants against harmful bacteria and fungi, their potential for human medicine and healthcare remains highly promising for common science. However, the challenge of obtaining stable producers that yield higher quantities of these antibiotics continues to be a pertinent concern in modern biotechnology.

The aim of this work was to study the features of genetic organization and biotechnological potential of the strain 135 as a degrader of aromatic compounds. The study of the genome of the strain 135 and the pangenome of the species revealed that some genes, presumably involved in PAH catabolism, are atypical for and belong to the pangenome of .

However, studies on the risks of consuming BNC in food are limited, and it is not yet approved for use in food in the US, EU, and Russia.
Aim: This study aims to perform a toxicological and hygienic assessment of the safety of BNC in a subacute 8-week administration in rats.
