Two novel bacterial strains were isolated from a paddy soil sample collected in Japan using GPM agar plates supplemented with superoxide dismutase and/or catalase. The strains were Gram-positive, catalase-positive and motile, with lysine as the peptidoglycan diagnostic diamino acid and acetyl as the peptidoglycan acyl type. The major menaquinone was MK-9(H(2)). Mycolic acids were not detected. The G+C content of the DNA was 66-68 mol%. On the basis of phenotypic analysis, 16S rRNA gene sequence comparisons and DNA-DNA hybridization data, it is proposed that these strains represent two novel species, Arthrobacter oryzae sp. nov. (type strain is KV-651(T)=NRRL B-24478(T)=NBRC 102055(T)) and Arthrobacter humicola sp. nov. (type strain is KV-653(T)=NRRL B-24479(T)=NBRC 102056(T)), respectively.

Nitrate nitrogen fertilizer was usually used to mitigate arsenic (As) release and mobilization in the anaerobic contaminated paddy soil. However, the effect of the interplay between nitrate fertilizer and biochar on As availability as well as the involved mechanism were poorly understood. Herein, the effects and mechanisms of biochar, nitrate fertilizer, and biochar-based nitrate fertilizer on the availability of As in the contaminated paddy soil were investigated via a microcosm incubation experiment.

Microplastics (MPs) in coastal wetlands have been of great concern, but information on the aging behavior of MPs in the sediment-water interface is still lacking. In this study, the contribution of a typical abiotic (photoaging) and biotic (biodegradation) process and the underlying aging pathway of MPs with different degradabilities (including polypropylene, polyethylene terephthalate, and polylactic acid) were studied. With a quantified relative importance of photoaging (>55%) vs biodegradation, the crucial contribution of photoaging on MP aging was highlighted.

Gram-stain-positive, aerobic, rod-shaped strains, YJM1 and YJM12S, were isolated from Maebong Mountain, Dogok-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, Republic of Korea. Strains YJM1 and YJM12S exhibited growth at 5-35 °C (optimum, 20-30 °C) and pH 6-9 (optimum, pH 7) and in 0-4 % (w/v) NaCl. Strains YJM1 and YJM12S showed highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity to the following members of the genus : A33 (98.

Article Synopsis
- This study examines how drought-tolerant rhizobacteria, including nitrogen-fixing and phosphate-solubilizing types, affect the growth of wheat plants under drought and low phosphorus conditions.
- Among 343 rhizobacterial samples, 16 showed resistance to salt and drought, highlighting specific strains that boost plant growth by enhancing phosphorus availability and promoting root development.
- Inoculating wheat with these bacteria improved both shoot and root growth, increased phosphorus content significantly, and resulted in greater chlorophyll levels, suggesting these microbes can enhance wheat's resilience to challenging growth conditions.
