Article Synopsis
  • - A new predatory bacterium, strain LBG001, was discovered in Reynosa, Mexico, showing about 97% genetic similarity to existing strains in its genus.
  • - Phylogenetic analysis indicates that LBG001 belongs to a separate evolutionary branch, with its genomic features qualifying it as a new species.
  • - This strain successfully formed plaques on various Gram-negative bacteria, leading to its classification as a unique species, proposed to be named sp. nov. with LBG001 as its type strain.

Bisphenol A (BPA) is a compound used in the manufacture of a wide variety of everyday materials that, when released into the environment, causes multiple detrimental effects on humans and other organisms. The reason for this review is to provide an overview of the presence, distribution, and concentration of BPA in water, soil, sediment, and air, as well as the process of release and migration, biomagnification, and exposure mechanisms that cause various toxic effects in humans. Therefore, it is important to seek efficient and economic strategies that allow its removal from the environment and prevent it from reaching humans through food chains.

Fungal phytopathogens require different skills to infect plants and complete their lifecycle. Some proteins in fungi are essential for pathogenesis and their expression is regulated by epigenetic mechanisms via chromatin-remodeling. Macrophomina phaseolina is an important phytopathogenic fungus that leads to considerable losses of different crops, especially during drought conditions.
