A Gram-stain-positive, endospore-forming, rod-shaped bacterium, designated XJ259(T), was isolated from a cold spring sample from Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, China. The isolate grew optimally at 20-30 °C and pH 7.3-7.8. Comparative analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence showed that isolate XJ259(T) belonged phylogenetically to the genus Paenibacillus, and was most closely related to Paenibacillus xinjiangensis B538(T) (with 96.6 % sequence similarity), Paenibacillus glycanilyticus DS-1(T) (96.3 %) and Paenibacillus castaneae Ch-32(T) (96.1 %), sharing less than 96.0 % sequence similarity with all other members of the genus Paenibacillus. Chemotaxonomic analysis revealing menaquinone-7 (MK-7) as the major isoprenoid quinone, diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine and two unknown phosphoglycolipids as the major cellular polar lipids, a DNA G+C content of 47.0 mol%, and anteiso-C₁₅:₀ and C₁₆:₀ as the major fatty acids supported affiliation of the new isolate to the genus Paenibacillus. Based on these data, isolate XJ259(T) is considered to represent a novel species of the genus Paenibacillus, for which the name Paenibacillus algorifonticola sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is XJ259(T) ( = CGMCC 1.10223(T) = JCM 16598(T)).

Non-halophytic plants are highly susceptible to salt stress, but numerous studies have shown that halo-tolerant microorganisms can alleviate this stress by producing phytohormones and enhancing nutrient availability. This study aimed to identify and evaluate native microbial communities from salt-affected regions to boost black gram () resilience against salinity, while improving plant growth, nitrogen uptake, and nodulation in saline environments. Six soil samples were collected from a salt-affected region in eastern Uttar Pradesh, revealing high electrical conductivity (EC) and pH, along with low nutrient availability.

The severe contamination of the plasticiser dibutyl phthalate (DBP) in agriculture soils is often accompanied by a decrease in nutrient utilisation. Though the combined application of a variety of microorganisms can simultaneously address the problems of soil contamination and nutrient deprivation, the activity and function of microorganisms can be severely inhibited by DBP, and studies on their protection under DBP contamination are almost non-existent. In this study, a compound bacterial agent KPSB was prepared by optimising with FeO-modified biochar loaded with DBP-degrading bacterium Enterobacterium sp.

Developing novel nonribosomal peptides (NRPs) requires a comprehensive understanding of the enzymes involved in their biosynthesis, particularly the substrate amino acid recognition mechanisms in the adenylation (A) domain. This study focused on the A domain responsible for adenylating l-2,4-diaminobutyric acid (l-Dab) within the synthetase of polymyxin, an NRP produced by NBRC3020. To date, investigations into recombinant proteins that selectively adenylate l-Dab─exploring substrate specificity and enzymatic activity parameters─have been limited to reports on A domains found in enzymes synthesizing l-Dab homopolymers (pldA from USE31 and pddA from NBRC15115), which remain exceedingly rare.

Background: Plastic pollution is a significant environmental problem caused by its high resistance to degradation. One potential solution is polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB), a microbial biodegradable polymer. Mexico has great uncovered microbial diversity with high potential for biotechnological applications.

Immobilization of Paenibacillus polymyxa has been proposed to improve the cell stability and efficiency of the fermentation process, reduce contamination and provide easy separation of butanediol in the culture broth as compared to conventional bioprocesses. This research aimed to explore the potential of Paenibacillus polymyxa with immobilization technique to produce 2,3-butanediol.
