We report the draft genome of , a rapidly growing nontuberculous mycobacterium, isolated from the sputum sample of a patient undergoing treatment for multidrug-resistant tuberculosis in Delhi, India. The 6,366,717-bp genome contains 6,124 coding sequences, one 5S rRNA, three 16S rRNAs, six 23S rRNAs, and 49 tRNAs.

This work deals with the synthesis of SnO-modified sugarcane bagasse biochar (SnO-SBB) nanocomposites using an impregnation method. XRD, FTIR, SEM, and EDX analyses were used to characterize the produced nanocomposites. Several factors influencing the removal of malachite green from wastewater the adsorption process were explored to maximize the effectiveness of this process.
