sp. nov., a phosphate-solubilizing bacterium isolated from a solar saltern.

A Gram-stain-negative, motile, rod-shaped, non-endospore-forming, aerobic and halophilic bacterium, designated strain YCWA18, was isolated from the sediment of Jimo-Daqiao saltern in China. This strain was able to grow at NaCl concentrations in the range 0.5-20 % (w/v) with optimum growth at 6 % (w/v) NaCl.

Complete Genome Sequence of Strain YCSC6, a Marine Bacterium Isolated from Saturated Saltpan with Activity Against Uronema marinum.

Salinivibrio proteolyticus strain YCSC6 was isolated from a saturated saltpan and demonstrated to have strong insecticidal activity against turbot's pathogenic ciliate-Uronema marinum. In this study, we sequenced its complete genome. Results showed that it consists of two circular chromosomes: 2.

Silver Nanoparticles Impact Biofilm Communities and Mussel Settlement.

Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) demonstrating good antimicrobial activity are widely used in many fields. However, the impact of AgNPs on the community structures of marine biofilms that drive biogeochemical cycling processes and the recruitment of marine invertebrate larvae remains unknown. Here, we employed MiSeq sequencing technology to evaluate the bacterial communities of 28-day-old marine biofilms formed on glass, polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), and PDMS filled with AgNPs and subsequently tested the influence of these marine biofilms on plantigrade settlement by the mussel Mytilus coruscus.

The effect of carbon nanotubes and titanium dioxide incorporated in PDMS on biofilm community composition and subsequent mussel plantigrade settlement.

This study investigated the effect of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and titanium dioxide (TiO2) incorporated in PDMS on biofilm formation and plantigrade settlement of Mytilus coruscus. TiO2 increased bacterial density, and CNTs also increased bacterial density but reduced diatom density in biofilms after 28 days. Further analysis was conducted between bacterial communities on glass, PDMS, CNTs (0.

Shewanella sp. ECSMB14102, which promotes recruitment of the mussel Mytilus coruscus, was isolated from natural biofilms formed on glass slides submerged in the East China Sea. Here, we present the draft genome sequence, which comprises 4.

Draft Genome Sequence of Pseudoalteromonas sp. Strain ECSMB14103, Isolated from the East China Sea.

Pseudoalteromonas sp. strain ECSMB14103 was isolated from marine biofilms formed on the East China Sea. The draft genome sequence comprises 4.

Draft Genome Sequence of Shewanella sp. ECSMB14101, Isolated from the East China Sea.

Shewanella sp. ECSMB14101 was isolated from marine biofilms formed on the East China Sea. The draft genome sequence comprises 4,272,451 bp with a G+C content of 49.

[Phytoplankton assemblages and their relation to environmental factors by multivariate statistic analysis in Bohai Bay].

A detailed field survey of hydrological, chemical and biological resources was conducted in the Bohai Bay in spring and summer 2007. The distributions of phytoplankton and their relations to environmental factors were investigated with multivariate analysis techniques. Totally 17 and 23 taxa were identified in spring and summer, respectively.

[Research of microbio-remediation of oil-contaminated wetland in Liaodong Bay].

To investigate the effect of microbes on oil degradation, we use the method of introducing selected bacteria to the soil samples. Experiment shows that the combined bacteria are preferable to the single ones because of their synergetic functions. The optimum condition for oil degradation was controlled at pH 8.
