Streptomyces Spinosirectus sp. nov., Isolated From the Medicinal Plant Xanthium Sibiricum.

A novel actinobacterium, designated strain CRSS-Y-16, was isolated from the healthy leaves of Xanthium sibiricum, in China and characterized by a polyphasic approach. This strain produced abundant aerial mycelia that generated rod-shaped spores with spiny surfaces. The cell wall contained LL-diaminopimelic acid.

Streptomyces liangshanensis sp. nov., a novel actinomycete isolated from rhizosphere soil of Fagopyrum tataricum.

A novel actinomycete strain, designated strain QMT-12, was isolated from the rhizospheric soils of Fagopyrum tataricum and characterized using a polyphasic approach. Strain QMT-12 was found to have morphological features typical of the genus Streptomyces. The predominant fatty acids included C cis9 (35.

[Effects of manganese on antioxidant system of manganese-hyperaccumulator Phytolacca americana L.].

A hydroponic experiment was conducted to study the growth, manganese (Mn) accumulation, lipid peroxidation, H2O2 concentration, and antioxidant system of Phytolacca americana L. exposed to different concentration Mn. With increasing Mn concentration in the medium, the plant Mn content increased significantly, and the Mn accumulation was in the sequence of leaf > stem > root.
