Article Synopsis
- Wild pomegranate is a medicinal plant with significant health benefits, but its genome has not been fully understood until this study, which provides the first comprehensive genomic assembly.
- The researchers assembled a genome of 279.0 Mb, predicting 49,178 genes with key functions related to metabolism and stress responses, and identified transcription factors and transposable elements.
- The study also included a comparative analysis of the wild pomegranate genome against cultivated varieties and other plant species, helping to uncover evolutionary relationships and gene functions, especially in terpenoid biosynthesis.
It is imperative that promising bacterial cellulose-producing bacteria mainly belongs to genera Acetobacter (acid-producing bacteria). In order to screen cellulose-producing Acetobacter, the isolated cultures from vinegar/rotten fruits were inoculated in Hestrin-Schramm (HS) medium containing ethanol and CaCO. After the desired incubation, the positive cultures form a zone, which is observed around the bacterial growth, resulted from the solubilization of CaCO by acetic acid produced from the oxidation of ethanol during fermentation.
