Anaerobic Degradation of the Invasive Weed L. () and Copper Immobilization by a Community of Sulfate-Reducing and Methane-Producing Bacteria.

The weed L. poses a global threat to the environment as it spreads uncontrollably on roadsides, in forests, fields, meadows, and farmland. Goldenrod emits toxic substances that suppress other plants on the site, displacing wild ones.

Draft Genome Sequences of Six Strains Isolated from the Rhizosphere of Wheat Grown in Cadmium-Contaminated Soil.

This study presents high-quality draft genome assemblies of six bacterial strains isolated from the roots of wheat grown in soil contaminated with cadmium. The results of this study will help to elucidate at the molecular level how heavy metals affect interactions between beneficial rhizobacteria and crop plants.

Draft whole genome sequence for four highly copper resistant soil isolates s strain UKR1, strain UKR2, and strains UKR3 and UKR4.

Environmental copper pollution causes major destruction to ecological systems, which require the development of environmentally friendly biotechnological, in particular, microbial methods for copper removal. These methods rely on the availability of microorganisms resistant to high levels of copper. Here we isolated four bacterial strains with record resistance to up to 1.

Ecophysiological properties of cultivable heterotrophic bacteria and yeasts dominating in phytocenoses of Galindez Island, maritime Antarctica.

Antarctic plants are stable specific microenvironments for microbial colonization that are still less explored. In this study, we investigated cultivable heterotrophic bacteria and yeasts dominating in plant samples collected from different terrestrial biotopes near Ukrainian Antarctic Base on Galindez Island, maritime Antarctica. Phylogenetic analysis revealed affiliation of the bacterial isolates to genera Pseudomonas, Stenotrophomonas, Brevundimonas, Sporosarcina, Dermacoccus, Microbacterium, Rothia and Frondihabitans, and the yeast isolates to genera Rhodosporidium, Cryptococcus, Leucosporidiella, Candida and Exophiala.
