An obligately anaerobic, nitrate-reducing bacterial strain (MJB2) was isolated from sediments of saline in Xinjiang province of China. Cells were Gram-stain-positive rods and motile by means of flagella and formed endospores. The novel strain MJB2 was able to grow at 15-37 °C (optimum 28-30 °C), pH 5.

Objective: To screen for potential mutations in an ethnic Han Chinese family from Shanxi with hereditary multiple exostoses.

Methods: Polymerase chain reaction and DNA sequencing were used to screen potential mutations in EXT1 and EXT2 genes.

Results: For EXT1 gene, two synonymous mutations (P477P and E587E), three intronic mutations (c.

Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Yi-Yu Shi"

  • - Yi-Yu Shi's research has focused on the isolation and characterization of novel bacterial strains, particularly the discovery of *Anaerophilus nitritogenes*, a new species identified in salt lake sediment, which highlights the diversity of anaerobic bacteria in extreme environments.
  • - Shi has also made significant contributions to medical genetics, specifically in hereditary conditions such as multiple exostoses, by analyzing gene mutations in ethnic Han Chinese families using techniques like polymerase chain reaction and DNA sequencing.
  • - The combination of microbiological and genetic studies in Shi's publications reflects a multidisciplinary approach, emphasizing the importance of both environmental microbiology and hereditary disease research in understanding complex biological systems.
