A Gram-stain-negative, non-motile, aerobic, pale-yellow coloured and oval-shaped bacterium designated GRR-S6-38 was isolated from a tidal flat sediment that collected from Garorim Bay of the Yellow Sea, Republic of Korea. Strain GRR-S6-38 grew at 15-40 °C (optimum, 30 °C) at pH 6-9 (optimum, pH 7) and at 2-6% (w/v) NaCl (optimum, 2% NaCl). Phylogenetic analysis based on the 16S rRNA gene sequence indicated that strain GRR-S6-38 was closely related to those of J.

It has been reported that the administration of alleviates diseases such as osteoporosis and colitis. In this study, we report the complete genome sequence of KUFM407, a probiotic strain of LAB isolated from Korean traditional fermented food, Kimchi. Whole genome sequencing of KUFM407 was performed on the Illumina MiSeq and Oxford Nanopore MinION platform.

In this study, we report the complete genome sequence of L55, a probiotic strain of lactic acid bacteria isolated from kimchi. The genome consists of one circular chromosome (2,077,416 base pair [bp]) with a guanine cytosine (GC) content of 44.5%, and two circular plasmid sequences (54,267 and 19,592 bp, respectively).

Marine red algal biomass is a promising feedstock for sustainable production of value-added chemicals. However, the major constituents of red algal biomass, such as agar and carrageenan, are not easily assimilated by most industrial metabolic chassis developed to date. Synthetic biology offers a solution by utilizing nonmodel organisms as metabolic chassis for consolidated biological processes.

Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) have been reported to possess various beneficial properties and are commonly used as probiotics. LAB play a crucial role in milk fermentation, industrial lactic acid fermentation, and health and medicine. isolated from fermented dairy and food products is considered as 'Generally Recognized as Safe' by FDA.

Article Synopsis
  • A novel Gram-stain-negative bacterium, YJPS3-2, was discovered in saltern sediment from the Yellow Sea, showing adaptability to various pH levels (5.0-10.0), temperatures (4-40 °C), and salt concentrations (1-15% NaCl).
  • Genetic analysis linked YJPS3-2 closely with other strains but still indicated it is a new species, with significant differences in average nucleotide identity and DNA hybridization values.
  • Characterization revealed its dominant respiratory quinone as Q-9, key fatty acids present, and a DNA G+C content of 68.1 mol%, supporting its classification as a new member of a specific genus.

is a wood-decay brown rot fungus belonging to the family Polyporaceae. While the fungus grows, the sclerotium body of the strain, dubbed Bokryeong in Korean, is formed around the roots of conifer trees. The dried sclerotium has been widely used as a key component of many medicinal recipes in East Asia.
