Tobacco leaf tissue rapidly detoxifies direct salt loads without activation of calcium and SOS signaling.

Salt stress is a major abiotic stress, responsible for declining agricultural productivity. Roots are regarded as hubs for salt detoxification, however, leaf salt concentrations may exceed those of roots. How mature leaves manage acute sodium chloride (NaCl) stress is mostly unknown.

Polyphasic study of antibiotic-resistant enterobacteria isolated from fresh produce in Germany and description of Enterobacter vonholyi sp. nov. isolated from marjoram and Enterobacter dykesii sp. nov. isolated from mung bean sprout.

Forty-two antibiotic-resistant enterobacteria strains were isolated from fresh produce obtained from the northern German retail market. A polyphasic characterization based on both phenotypic and genotypic methods was used to identify predominant strains as Citrobacter (C.) gillenii, C.

Complete Genome Sequence of Tetracycline-Resistant Serratia liquefaciens S1, Isolated from Mixed Greens, Obtained Using Illumina MiSeq and Oxford Nanopore MinION Sequencing.

strain S1 was isolated from mixed greens and sequenced with short-read Illumina MiSeq technology and long-read MinION technology. Hybrid sequence assembly generated a complete single circular chromosome and two extrachromosomal contigs, which together encoded 5,098 proteins, 85 tRNAs, and 22 rRNAs.

Serratia nevei sp. nov. and Serratia bockelmannii sp. nov., isolated from fresh produce in Germany and reclassification of Serratia marcescens subsp. sakuensis Ajithkumar et al. 2003 as a later heterotypic synonym of Serratia marcescens subsp. marcescens.

Fifteen enterobacterial strains were isolated from fresh produce. The 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that these belong to Serratia, with twelve strains showing 99.57%-99.
