Bacillus aciditolerans sp. nov., isolated from paddy soil.

A Gram-stain-positive, motile, rod-shaped bacterial strain, YN-1, was isolated from a rice field in the town of Jietou, Yunnan Province, PR China. Colonies were circular, 1-2 mm in diameter, creamy white, with slightly irregular margins. The isolate grew optimally at 37 °C, pH 7.

Biodegradation of malachite green by an endophytic bacterium Klebsiella aerogenes S27 involving a novel oxidoreductase.

Endophytic microorganisms can metabolize organic contaminants and assist in plant growth, thus facilitating the phytoremediation of polluted environments. An endophytic bacterium capable of decoloring malachite green (MG) was isolated from the leaves of the wetland plant Suaeda salsa and was identified as Klebsiella aerogenes S27. Complete decolorization of MG (100 mg/l) was achieved in 8 h at 30 °C and pH 7.

Complete Genome Sequence of the Heavy-Metal-Tolerant Endophytic Type Strain of .

The first complete genome sequence of a recently described species was determined for the strain F01 (=CCTCC AB 2015304 =KCTC 42855). The strain was isolated from the leaves of wetland plant Lour and shows a high tolerance to heavy metals, such as manganese, nickel, lead, and copper ions.
