sp. nov., a novel bacterium from uranium mill tailings repository sites with selenium bioremediation capabilities.

A Gram-stain-negative bacterial strain designated Be4, belonging to the genus , was isolated from mining porewaters sampled in uranium mill tailings repository sites, located in Bellezane, near Bessines-sur-Gartempe (Limousin, France). Cells were facultative anaerobic, rod-shaped, non-endospore-forming and motile with flagella. The mean cell size was 1.

Plasma Exchange in Anti-Signal Recognition Particle Myopathy: A Systematic Review and Combined Analysis of Patient Individual Data.

Anti-signal recognition particle myopathy (anti-SRP myopathy) is a rare subtype of immune-mediated inflammatory myopathy characterized by muscle weakness and anti-SRP autoantibodies. Although plasma exchange (PE) is used in severe cases, its role remains unclear. A systematic review was conducted following PRISMA guidelines, identifying 23 patients with anti-SRP myopathy treated with PE.

Effect of different phosphate sources on uranium biomineralization by the sp. Be9 strain: A multidisciplinary approach study.

Introduction: Industrial activities related with the uranium industry are known to generate hazardous waste which must be managed adequately. Amongst the remediation activities available, eco-friendly strategies based on microbial activity have been investigated in depth in the last decades and biomineralization-based methods, mediated by microbial enzymes (e.g.

Uranium removal from complex mining waters by alginate beads doped with cells of Stenotrophomonas sp. Br8: Novel perspectives for metal bioremediation.

Uranium-containing effluents generated by nuclear energy industry must be efficiently remediated before release to the environment. Currently, numerous microbial-based strategies are being developed for this purpose. In particular, the bacterial strain Stenotrophomonas sp.

High-efficient microbial immobilization of solved U(VI) by the Stenotrophomonas strain Br8.

The environmental impact of uranium released during nuclear power production and related mining activity is an issue of great concern. Innovative environmental-friendly water remediation strategies, like those based on U biomineralization through phosphatase activity, are desirable. Here, we report the great U biomineralization potential of Stenotrophomonas sp.

Draft genome sequence data of sp. strain Be9 isolated from uranium-mill tailings porewaters.

are Gram-positive, nonspore-forming, rod-shaped bacteria inhabiting a wide range of environments including soil, water, dairy products, other living organisms, etc. sp. strain Be9, isolated from mill tailings porewaters in France, shows a remarkable behavior in presence of uranium under distinct conditions, which is the main reason for the interest in sequencing its genome.

Stenotrophomonas bentonitica sp. nov., isolated from bentonite formations.

A Gram-stain negative, rod-shaped, aerobic bacterial strain, BII-R7T, was isolated during a study targeting the culture-dependent microbial diversity occurring in bentonite formations from southern Spain. Comparative 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis showed that BII-R7T represented a member of the genus Stenotrophomonas (class Gammaproteobacteria), and was related most closely to Stenotrophomonas rhizophila e-p10T (99.2 % sequence similarity), followed by Stenotrophomonas pavanii ICB 89T (98.
