Sporosarcina hypophthalmichthys sp. nov. Isolated From Gastrointestinal Tract of Fish Hypophthalmichthys molitrix (Valenciennes, 1844).

A rod-shaped, motile, Gram-stain-positive bacterial strain RKN2, was isolated from gut of silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix) residing in Gobindsagar reservoir, Himachal Pradesh, India. Having the greatest sequence similarity to Sporosarcina koreensis F73 (98.51%), Sporosarcina luteola Y1 (98.

Challenges and effective tracking down strategies of antibiotic contamination in aquatic ecosystem.

A growing environmental concern revolves around the widespread use of medicines, particularly antibiotics, which adversely impact water quality and various life forms. The unregulated production and utilization of antibiotics not only affect non-targeted organisms but also exert significant evolutionary pressures, leading to the rapid development of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in bacterial communities. To address this issue, global studies have been conducted to assess the prevalence and quantities of antibiotics in various environmental components including freshwater, ocean, local sewage, and fish.

Unveiling the ecotoxicological impact of microplastics on organisms - the persistent organic pollutant (POP): A comprehensive review.

Microplastics have been ubiquitous in our environment for decades, and numerous studies have revealed their extensive dispersion, reaching far beyond the surface of the land, soil, aquatic ecosystems. They have infiltrated the food-chain, the food web, even the air we breathe, as well as the water we drink. Microplastics have been detected in the food we consume, acting as vectors for hazardous chemicals that adhere to their hydrophobic surfaces.

A comprehensive DNA barcoding of Indian freshwater fishes of the Indus River system, Beas.

The Beas River is one of the important rivers of the Indus River system located in Himachal Pradesh, India, that harbors a diverse range of freshwater fish species. The present study employed COI gene to investigate the ichthyofaunal diversity of river Beas. Through the sequencing of 203 specimens from Beas River, we identified 43 species, belonging to 31 genera, 16 families, and 10 orders.

Mitochondrial DNA reveals shallow population genetic structure in economically important Cyprinid fish Labeo rohita (Hamilton, 1822) from South and Southeast Asia.

Background: Assessment of genetic diversity and population genetic structure is important for species that are economically important, threatened, and are at global conservation priority. Analysis of mitochondrial DNA is broadly used in species identification and population genetics studies due to the availability of sufficient reference data and better evolutionary dynamics for phylogeographic investigation. Labeo rohita (Rohu) is an economically important species cultured under carp polyculture systems in Asia.

Taxonomic and genomic characterization of Sporosarcina cyprini sp. nov., moderately tolerant of Cr and Cd isolated from the gut of invasive fish Cyprinus carpio var. communis (Linn., 1758).

A Gram-stain-positive, motile, and rod-shaped bacterium, designated as strain MB25, was isolated from the gut of Cyprinus carpio from the highly polluted river Yamuna, India. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequence revealed that strain MB25 belonged to the genus Sporosarcina, sharing the highest sequence similarity with S. luteola Y1 (98.
