Draft genome sequence of PAPLE_T1 isolate of revealing biosynthetic clusters for beneficial metabolites.

Genomic features of PAPLE_T1 isolated from waste sample of obtained from Lagos State, Nigeria, revealed its putative capability to synthesize valuable secondary metabolites. PAPLE_T1 has a 2.4 Mb genome and could be useful as biological agro-antibiotics, for soil bioremediation and in biotechnological industry.

Draft genome of PwPw_T2 isolated from revealing acetic acid producing and xenobiotic degrading enzymes.

PwPw_T2 isolated from deteriorating sample collected from Lagos State, Nigeria putatively possesses genomic features like potential enzymes catalyzing acetic acid production and xenobiotic compounds degradation via various pathways as indicated by its genome sequences. These could make the organism relevant in food waste valorization and micro-biotechnology.

Bacterial and fungal biodeterioration of discolored building paints in Lagos, Nigeria.

Microbial induced discolorations are an unsightly feature occurring on painted walls in Lagos, the commercial hub of Nigeria. Very few studies have been carried out conventionally about the microbial community structure of discolored painted walls in Nigeria therefore, knowledge of the true microbial diversity is elusive. To further our understanding of the phylogenetic diversity of representative microbial community on 40 discolored and three clean-looking buildings, a comparative DNA sequence analysis of 16S rDNA genes was undertaken.
