Microbiomes in agricultural and mining soils contaminated with arsenic in Guanajuato, Mexico.

In this report, physical and chemical properties, and total arsenic (As) concentrations were analyzed in agricultural (MASE) and mining soils (SMI) in the State of Guanajuato, México. Additionally, a metagenomic analysis of both types of soils was the bases for the identification and selection of bacteria and fungi resistant to As. The SMI soil showed higher concentration of As (39 mg kg) as compared to MASE soil (15 mg kg).

Genomic analysis of a Trichoplusia ni Betabaculovirus (TnGV) with three different viral enhancing factors and two unique genes.

The complete genome of a Trichoplusia ni granulovirus (TnGV) is described and analyzed. The genome contains 175,360 bp (KU752557), becoming the third largest genome within the genus Betabaculovirus, smaller only than the Xestia c-nigrum GV (XecnGV) (178,733 pb) and the Pseudaletia unipuncta GV (PsunGV) (176,677 pb) genomes. The TnGV genome has a 39.
