Genetic diversity among 43 petroleum hydrocarbon-degrading Pseudomonas belonging to four different species and the type strain Pseudomonas aeruginosa MTCC1034 was assessed by using restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) of polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-amplified 16S-23S rDNA intergenic spacer regions (ISRs) polymorphism. PCR amplification from all Pseudomonas species yielded almost identical ISR amplicons of "?" 800 bp and in nested PCR of "?" 550 bp. The RFLP analysis with MboI and AluI revealed considerable intraspecific variations within the Pseudomonas species. The dendrogram constructed on the basis of the PCR-RFLP patterns of 16S-23S rDNA intergenic spacer regions differentiated all the species into seven different clusters.

In this paper, we examine the filamentous cyanobacterial strain NILCB16 and describe it as a new species within the genus . The original population was sampled from a mat growing in an irrigation canal in the Nile River, Egypt. Initially classified under or the strain is a potential producer of the toxins microcystin and β-N-Methylamino-L-Alanine (BMAA).

This investigation reports the polyphasic characterization of six cyanobacterial strains that were isolated from Basantgarh village of district Udhampur in the union territory of Jammu and Kashmir, India. Morphological examination of the isolated strains indicated that the strains are members of the genus Nostoc or its morphotypes. Phylogenetic analyses using the 16S rRNA gene showed that five strains clustered in the Nostoc sensu stricto clade, whereas one strain clustered in the Desmonostoc clade.

Culture collections such as the Blue Biotechnology and Ecotoxicology Culture Collection (LEGE-CC) hold approximately 1200 cyanobacterial strains and are critical community resources. However, many isolates in this and other collections have not been described with a polyphasic approach, and this limits further study. Here, we employed a polyphasic methodology that integrates 16S rRNA gene phylogenetic analyses, similarity (p-distance), 16S-23S ITS rRNA region secondary structures, morphological analyses, and habitat assessments to describe four novel cyanobacterial genera from the LEGE-CC, Portugal.

Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on LIN78, a bacterium isolated from teeth with deep caries, which is related to common strains that can cause food poisoning and severe infections.
- Researchers used advanced sequencing technology and various analytical methods to identify drug-resistance genes and virulence factors in LIN78.
- The findings reveal that LIN78 has a complex genome with numerous genes linked to antibiotic resistance and virulence, indicating a potential risk for disease development and calling for further research on its pathogenic mechanisms and treatment options.

The rapid expansion of whole genome sequencing in bacterial taxonomy has revealed deep evolutionary relationships and speciation signals, but assembly methods often miss true nucleotide diversity in the ribosomal operons. Though it lacks sufficient phylogenetic signal at the species level, the 16S ribosomal RNA gene is still much used in bacterial taxonomy. In cyanobacterial taxonomy, comparisons of 16S-23S Internal Transcribed Spacer (ITS) regions are used to bridge this information gap.
