Agromyces albus sp. nov. is proposed for an aerobic, oxidase- and catalase-positive actinomycete that was isolated from the above-ground part of a plant (Androsace sp.

Dichloromethane (DCM) is a toxic pollutant showing prolonged persistence in water. DCM biodegradation is usually determined from increases in Cl ions, gas chromatography, or by using radioisotopes. Herein, we present an original and easy spectrophotometric method to estimate DCM concentrations in cultures and environmental samples during DCM biodegradation experiments.

- Two new species of actinomycetes, Rathayibacter caricis and Rathayibacter festucae, were discovered in specific environments associated with the plants Carex sp. and Festuca rubra.
- These species are classified within the genus Rathayibacter and show distinct chemotaxonomic and phenotypic characteristics compared to existing species.
- Rathayibacter caricis is unique for its fucose-containing cell wall, while Rathayibacter festucae is identifiable by its rose-orange colony color.
