A taxogenomic study of three strains (3986, 51.81, and JF 2415) isolated from rabbits between 1972 and 2000 led to the description of a new species. The highest sequence similarity of the 16S rRNA gene was found to NCTC 10212 (96.

- Microbial biobanks are vital resources that preserve diverse microbial samples for research, training, and quality assurance, contributing to biodiversity conservation and scientific progress.
- They can either maintain a broad spectrum of microbial diversity or focus on specific areas, requiring careful decision-making in strain selection for various applications.
- The proposed unbiased scoring method helps prioritize and categorize microbial samples, aiding in genomic research aimed at quality control and the discovery of beneficial natural compounds, particularly for human health.
Understanding the dynamics of antibiotic resistance gene (ARG) transfer and dissemination in natural environments remains challenging. Biofilms play a crucial role in bacterial survival and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) dissemination in natural environments, particularly in aquatic systems. This study focused on hospital and urban wastewater (WW) biofilms to investigate the potential for ARG dissemination through mobile genetic elements (MGEs).

Here, we report draft genome sequences of six isolates belonging to three species, namely, Bacillus cereus, Bacillus paranthracis, and Bacillus toyonensis, isolated from pet reptiles in Poland.
