sp. nov. a new member of the lineage isolated from sediment of a neutral hot spring and reclassification of (Ramaprasad . 2018) as a later heterotypic synonym of (Kruse 1896) Goodfellow and Alderson 1977 (Approved Lists 1980).

A polyphasic study was designed to determine the taxonomic status of isolate CSLK01-03, which was recovered from an Indonesian neutral hot spring and provisionally assigned to the genus . The isolate was found to have chemotaxonomic, cultural and morphological properties typical of rhodococci. It has a rod-coccus lifecycle and grows from 10 to 39 °C, from pH 6.

A first report on prokaryotic diversity in northwestern Arafura deep-sea sediments, Indonesia.

Indonesia's deep-sea microbial communities remain poorly understood, prompting the need for comprehensive investigations. This study aimed to assess the bacterial and archaeal diversities in northwestern Arafura deep-sea sediments, spanning depths of 100 to 1,457 m using a 16S rRNA based-metagenomic sequencing approach, without technical and biological replicates. Principal component analyses based on the Bray-Curtis dissimilarity index indicated that most of the bacterial and archaeal communities were habitat-specific and influenced by depth.

Synthetic biology in Indonesia: Potential and projection in a country with mega biodiversity.

Synthetic biology has gained many interest around the globe in the last two decades, not only due to its rapid development but also the potential to provide addressable solutions using standardized design of biological systems. Considering its huge population, biodiversity, and natural resources, Indonesia could play an important role in shaping the future of synthetic biology towards a sustainable bio-circular economy. Here, we provide an overview of synthetic biology development in Indonesia, especially on exploring the potential of our biodiversity.

sp. nov., a home for a gifted strain isolated from Indonesian sand dune soil.

A polyphasic study was undertaken to establish the position of a strain, isolate PRKS01-65, recovered from sand dune soil collected at Parangkusumo, Yogyakarta Province, Java, Indonesia. A combination of chemotaxonomic, cultural and morphological properties confirmed its position in the genus of . Comparative 16S rRNA gene sequence analyses showed that the isolate was most closely related to C34 (99.
