It was shown that IS element ISPpyl isolated earlier in the permafrost strain Psychrobacter maritimus MR29-12 has a high level of functional activity in cells of the heterologous host Escherichia coli K-12. ISPpyl can be translocated in E. coli cells by itself and mobilize adjacent genes and can also form composite transposons flanked by two copies of this element. Apart from translocations between different plasmids, the composite ISPpyl-containing transposon Tn5080a is capable of translocation from the plasmid into the E. coli chromosome with high frequency and from the chromosome into the plasmid. Among products of Tn5080a transposition into plasmid R388, simple insertions were predominantly formed together with cointegrates. Upon mobilization of adjacent genes with the use of one ISPpyl copy, only cointegrates arise.

Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) are vital molecules in the pharmaceutical, medical, and nutritional industries. Exploration of bacterial strains capable of producing significant amounts of PUFAs offers a promising avenue for biotechnological applications and industrial-scale production. However, an extensive screening of several samples from diverse sources is highly needed to identify a potential strain.

Article Synopsis
- The intestinal microbiota of marine animals, specifically Amur ide, is affected by the environment they inhabit, particularly the alkalinity of the water.
- The study identified specific microbial species and their functional roles in the intestines of both alkaline-water (AW) and freshwater (FW) Amur ide, revealing a significant overlap in gut microbes associated with their respective aquatic habitats.
- Results showed distinct differences in microbial composition and diversity between the AW and FW species, emphasizing the importance of understanding these adaptations for future fish breeding in alkaline environments.

Article Synopsis
- A 50-day trial assessed the impact of a marine bacterium, Psychrobacter maritimus S, on the growth and immune responses of Nile tilapia fingerlings through three different diets.
- The study found that increasing the concentration of P. maritimus S to 0.5% significantly improved fish growth rates, digestive enzyme activity, and key immune responses, while higher levels had diminished effects.
- Results suggest that 0.5% dietary supplementation of P. maritimus S is optimal for enhancing both growth performance and immune health in Nile tilapia fingerlings.

A novel multidrug-resistance plasmid, pKLH80, previously isolated from Psychrobacter maritimus MR29-12 found in ancient permafrost, was completely sequenced and analysed. In our previous studies, we focused on the pKLH80 plasmid region containing streptomycin and tetracycline resistance genes, and their mobilization with an upstream-located ISPpy1 insertion sequence (IS) element. Here, we present the complete sequence of pKLH80 and analysis of its backbone genetic structure, including previously unknown features of the plasmid's accessory region, notably a novel variant of the β-lactamase gene blaRTG-6.
