- The study focuses on obligate intracellular bacteria that infect various hosts, posing significant health risks to both humans and animals.
- It analyzes blood samples from goats in Hue province, Vietnam, identifying chlamydial species in 18.3% of the samples, indicating the presence of these pathogens in local ruminants.
- The findings underline the necessity for increased monitoring and surveillance of chlamydial strains in Vietnam to better assess and manage health risks associated with chlamydiosis in both livestock and potentially humans.
The utilization of waste cooking oil (WCO) or waste fish oil (WFO) as inexpensive carbon substrate for the production of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) by H16 was investigated. Fed-batch cultivation mode in bioreactor was applied in this study. High cell dry weight (CDW) of 135.

In order to survive under the low water activity (A) conditions caused by the high salt concentration, the bacteria need to employ a special adaptation strategy.

- Salinivibrio proteolyticus M318 is a halophilic bacterium that can produce polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) from various carbon sources, and its whole-genome sequencing revealed 3,605,935 base pairs with a high gene count, including 3341 genes.
- The bacterium's genome features important genes related to PHA and ectoine synthesis, as well as transporters for ectoine uptake and degradation.
- The study found that M318 can produce a significant amount of ectoine (26.2% of cell dry weight) in a high-salt environment, highlighting its potential use as a bacterial cell factory for producing valuable compounds.
A moderately halophilic bacterium isolated from fermenting shrimp paste, Salinivibrio sp. M318 was found capable of using fish sauce and mixtures of waste fish oil and glycerol as nitrogen and carbon sources, respectively, for poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) production. A cell dry weight (CDW) of up to 10 g/L and PHB content of 51.
