An Efficient Strategy for Enhancement of Bioactive Compounds in the Fruit Body of Caterpillar Medicinal Mushroom, Cordyceps militaris (Ascomycetes), by Spraying Biotic Elicitors.

Cordyceps militaris is a mushroom species with high nutritive and medicinal values based on diverse bioactive metabolites. The contents of bioactive ingredients are indicative of the quality of commercially available fruit body of this fungus. Although the application of biotic elicitors has been an efficient strategy to induce the accumulation of valuable bioactive compounds in vivo, related research in C.

Isolation and Characterization of Fengycins Produced by JFL21 and Its Broad-Spectrum Antimicrobial Potential Against Multidrug-Resistant Foodborne Pathogens.

The continuing emergence and development of pathogenic microorganisms that are resistant to antibiotics constitute an increasing global concern, and the effort in new antimicrobials discovery will remain relevant until a lasting solution is found. A new bacterial strain, designated JFL21, was isolated from seafood and identified as . The antimicrobial substance produced by JFL21 showed low toxicity to most probiotics but exhibited strong antimicrobial activities against multidrug-resistant foodborne pathogens.

Arenibacter catalasegens sp. nov., isolated from marine surface sediment, and emended description of the genus Arenibacter.

A Gram-staining-negative, aerobic, non-motile, rod-shaped bacterium, designated as P308H10, was isolated from surface sediment of the Southern Indian Ocean. Growth occurred at 4-36 °C (optimum 20-25 °C), pH 6.0-8.

Gramella antarctica sp. nov., isolated from marine surface sediment.

A Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, yellow-coloured, motile by gliding, rod-shaped bacterial strain, designated R17H11, was isolated from surface sediment collected from the Ross Sea, Antarctica. Growth optimally occurred at 25-30 °C, at pH 7.0-7.

Antarcticibacterium flavum gen. nov., sp. nov., isolated from marine sediment.

A Gram-stain-negative, strictly aerobic, yellow-pigmented, non-gliding, oval to rod-shaped bacterial strain, designated JB01H24, belonging to the family Flavobacteriaceae, was isolated from marine surface sediment collected from the Ross Sea, Antarctica. Strain JB01H24 grew at 4-40 °C (optimum 25-30 °C), pH 7.0-9.

Aurantimonas aggregata sp. nov., isolated from deep-sea sediment.

A novel bacterium, designated R14M6, was isolated from deep-sea sediment collected from the Ross Sea, Antarctica. Cells are Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, pale yellow, short-rod-shaped, polar-flagellated and aggregate-forming. Growth occurs at 4-36 °C, pH 6.

Arenibacter antarcticus sp. nov., isolated from marine sediment.

A strictly aerobic, Gram-stain-negative, pale-golden, rod-shaped bacterium, designated as R18H21, was isolated from marine sediment collected from the Ross Sea, Antarctica. Strain R18H21 grew at 4-40 °C (optimum 25 °C), at pH 6.3-9.
