sp. nov., a novel cellulose-degrading actinobacterium isolated from soil and emended description of the genus .

A novel cellulose-degrading actinobacterium, designated strain NEAU-S10, was isolated from soil collected from Chifeng, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, PR China, and characterized using a polyphasic approach. Pairwise similarity of the 16S rRNA gene sequence showed that strain NEAU-S10 was a representative of and was closely related to NEAU-yn17 (99.2 %), SA152 (99.

sp. nov., a novel ligninase-producing Actinobacterium isolated from soil.

A novel ligninase-producing actinomycete, designated strain NEAU-G4, was isolated from a soil sample and subjected to a polyphasic taxonomic study to establish its status. According to 16S rRNA gene sequence comparisons, the isolate was identified as a member of the genus , with the highest sequence similarity to DSM 44496 (99.2 %).

Health classification of Meibomian gland images using keratography 5M based on AlexNet model.

Purpose: We aim to present effective diagnostics in the field of ophthalmology and improve eye health. The purpose of this study is to examine the capability of health classification of Meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) using Keratography 5M and AlexNet method.

Method: A total of 4,609 meibomian gland images were collected from 2,000 patients using Keratography 5M in the hospital.

sp. nov., a novel cellulase-producing actinobacterium isolated from coconut palm rhizosphere soil.

A novel cellulase-producing actinomycete, designated strain NEAU-H7, was isolated from coconut palm rhizosphere soil collected from Wenchang City, Hainan Province, PR China. A polyphasic taxonomic study was carried out to establish the status of this strain. Results of 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis indicated that strain NEAU-H7 belonged to the genus , with highest similarity to NEAU-M9 (99.

Actinoplanes aureus sp. nov., a novel protease-producing actinobacterium isolated from soil.

A novel protease-producing actinobacterium, designated strain NEAU-A11, was isolated from soil collected from Aohan banner, Chifeng, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, China, and characterised using a polyphasic approach. The hydrolytic enzymes, such as proteases, played critical roles in destruction of fungi by degrading the protein linkages to disrupt integrity in the cell wall. This suggested that the isolate could be a good biocontrol candidate against pathogens to control fungal diseases.

Micromonospora rubida sp. nov., a novel actinobacterium isolated from soil of Harbin.

A novel actinobacterium, designated strain NEAU-HG-1, was isolated from soil collected from Harbin, Heilongjiang Province, Northeast China and characterised using a polyphasic approach. On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, strain NEAU-HG-1 belonged to the genus Micromonospora, and shared high sequence similarities with Micromonospora auratinigra DSM 44815 (98.9%) and Micromonospora coerulea DSM 43143 (98.

sp. nov. a novel actinobacterium isolated from soil.

A novel actinobacterium, designated strain NEAU-D13, was isolated from soil collected from Aohan Banner, Chifeng, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, China and characterized using a polyphasic approach. On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, strain NEAU-D13 belonged to the genus and shared the highest sequence similarity with JCM 14913 (99.17 %).
