16S rRNA gene sequence analysis of eight strains (BR 3299(T), BR 3296, BR 10192, BR 10193, BR 10194, BR 10195, BR 10196 and BR 10197) isolated from nodules of cowpea collected from a semi-arid region of Brazil showed 97 % similarity to sequences of recently described rhizobial species of the genus Microvirga. Phylogenetic analyses of four housekeeping genes (gyrB, recA, dnaK and rpoB), DNA-DNA relatedness and AFLP further indicated that these strains belong to a novel species within the genus Microvirga. Our data support the hypothesis that genes related to nitrogen fixation were obtained via horizontal gene transfer, as sequences of nifH genes were very similar to those found in members of the genera Rhizobium and Mesorhizobium, which are not immediate relatives of the genus Microvirga, as shown by 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis. Phenotypic traits, such as host range and carbon utilization, differentiate the novel strains from the most closely related species, Microvirga lotononidis, Microvirga zambiensis and Microvirga lupini. Therefore, these symbiotic nitrogen-fixing bacteria are proposed to be representatives of a novel species, for which the name Microvirga vignae sp. nov. is suggested. The type strain is BR3299(T) ( = HAMBI 3457(T)).

The structure of fish intestines does not have a clear regional division, while the function of the intestines may be related to their structure. Therefore, in this study, the delimitation of intestinal segments in pufferfish (Takifugu obscurus) was achieved by morphological analysis. Subsequently, enzyme activity, intestinal microbiota, and gene expression were examined to compare the differences among the pufferfish various segments.

A Gram-staining negative, non-motile, rod-shaped, oxidase negative and catalase positive strain WL0021 was isolated from cricket (Gryllus chinensis) living in the campus of Hohai University. Strain WL0021 was characterized utilizing a polyphasic taxonomy approach. The major fatty acids (> 5%) for strain WL0021 were C and summed feature 8, and the major polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylcholine, phospholipid, two aminolipids, and an unidentified polar lipid.

Low-carbon alkaline thermal hydrolysis of sewage sludge for the production of high-quality plant-growth-promoting nutrients and biostimulants is a growing concern for sludge resource utilization in agriculture. Thus, this study aims to investigate functional characteristics and soil biochemical effects of sewage sludge-derived nutrients and biostimulants (SS-NB). The content of heavy metals in SS-NB decreased by 47.

Sulfonamides (SAs) are extensively used antibiotics in the prevention and treatment of animal diseases, leading to significant SAs pollution in surrounding environments. Microbial degradation has been proposed as a crucial mechanism for removing SAs, but the taxonomic identification of microbial functional guilds responsible for SAs degradation in nature remain largely unexplored. Here, we employed C-sulfamethazine (SMZ)-based DNA-stable isotope probing (SIP) and metagenomic sequencing to investigate SMZ degraders in three distinct swine farm wastewater-receiving environments within an agricultural ecosystem.
