Complete genome and plasmid sequence of a novel sp. BD59S, a parasporal protein synthesizing bacterium.

Parasporal crystalline inclusion proteins of some spp. are of paramount importance due to their insecticidal, nematocidal, and cancer cell killing capabilities. Here, we present a brief report of the complete genome sequence of sp.

Partial purification and characterization of serine protease produced through fermentation of organic municipal solid wastes by A3 and A2.

Proteolytic bacteria isolated from municipal solid wastes (MSW) were identified as A3 and A2 based on 16S rDNA sequencing. Protease produced through fermentation of organic MSW by these bacteria under some optimized physicochemical parameters was partially purified and characterized. The estimated molecular mass of the partially purified protease from and was approximately 25 and 38 kDa, respectively.

O1 with Reduced Susceptibility to Ciprofloxacin and Azithromycin Isolated from a Rural Coastal Area of Bangladesh.

Cholera outbreaks occur each year in the remote coastal areas of Bangladesh and epidemiological surveillance and routine monitoring of cholera in these areas is challenging. In this study, a total of 97 O1 isolates from Mathbaria, Bangladesh, collected during 2010 and 2014 were analyzed for phenotypic and genotypic traits, including antimicrobial susceptibility. Of the 97 isolates, 95 possessed CTX-phage mediated genes, , and , and two lacked the cholera toxin gene, .

Isolation and Characterization of Chromium(VI)-Reducing Bacteria from Tannery Effluents.

Two chromium-resistant bacteria (IFR-2 and IFR-3) capable of reducing/transforming Cr(VI) to Cr(III) were isolated from tannery effluents. Isolates IFR-2 and IFR-3 were identified as Staphylococcus aureus and Pediococcus pentosaceus respectively by 16S rRNA gene sequence analyses. Both isolates can grow well on 2,000 mg/l Cr(VI) (as K(2)Cr(2)O(7)) in Luria-Bertani (LB) medium.
