AI Article Synopsis

  • Phylogenetic analysis of bacteria from the Dead Sea and West Antarctic utilized 16S rRNA gene sequences, identifying key species like Bacillus licheniformis and psychrotolerant bacteria from Galindez Island.
  • Two strains, a thermotolerant Staphylococcus sp. and various species of Frondihabitans, were discovered in unique habitats, emphasizing their ecological isolation and diversity in extreme environments.
  • The study highlighted that Frondihabitans strains were the most common among the aerobic chemoorganotrophic bacteria in Antarctic ecosystems, showcasing their adaptability.

Article Abstract

Phylogenetic analysis of aerobic chemoorganotrophic bacteria of the two extreme regions (Dead Sea and West Antarctic) was performed on the basis of the nucleotide sequences of the 16S rRNA gene. Thermotolerant and halotolerant spore-forming bacteria 7t1 and 7t3 of terrestrial ecosystems Dead Sea identified as Bacillus licheniformis and B. subtilis subsp. subtilis, respectively. Taking into account remote location of thermotolerant strain 6t1 from closely related strains in the cluster Staphylococcus, 6t1 strain can be regarded as Staphylococcus sp. In terrestrial ecosystems, Galindez Island (Antarctic) detected taxonomically diverse psychrotolerant bacteria. From ornithogenic soil were isolated Micrococcus luteus O-1 and Microbacterium trichothecenolyticum O-3. Strains 4r5, 5r5 and 40r5, isolated from grass and lichens, can be referred to the genus Frondihabitans. These strains are taxonomically and ecologically isolated and on the tree diagram form the joint cluster with three isolates Frondihabitans sp., isolated from the lichen Austrian Alps, and psychrotolerant associated with plants F. cladoniiphilus CafT13(T). Isolates from black lichen in the different stationary observation points on the south side of a vertical cliff identified as: Rhodococcus fascians 181n3, Sporosarcina aquimarina O-7, Staphylococcus sp. 0-10. From orange biofilm of fouling on top of the vertical cliff isolated Arthrobacter sp. 28r5g1, from the moss-- Serratia sp. 6r1g. According to the results, Frondihabitans strains most frequently encountered among chemoorganotrophic aerobic bacteria in the Antarctic phytocenoses.

Real-world data on treatment outcomes or the quality of large-scale chronic hepatitis B (CHB) treatment programs in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) is extremely difficult to obtain. In this study, we aimed to provide data on the prevalence and incidence of mortality, loss to follow-up (LFTU), and their associated factors in patients with CHB in three treatment centres in Eritrea. Additional information includes baseline clinical profiles of CHB patients initiated on nucleos(t)ide analogue (NUCs) along with a comparison of treatment with Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) vs.

Microbe-mediated remediation becomes a desire method for removal of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) due to its eco-friendly and sustainable nature. The improvement of practical feasibility requires constructing comprehensive species pool, while it is still limited by the rapid recognition of potential bacterial resources from environment. Here, based on the relative abundances of bacterial OTUs and pollutant concentrations, we established indexes to assess their tolerance to organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) and flame retardants (FRs) that are atmospheric transported and naturally accumulated in forest soil via forest filter effect.

Introduction: Drinking contaminated water is a significant cause of mortality and morbidity in Sub-Saharan Africa, where access to safe drinking water is limited. Although numerous studies have investigated the bacteriological quality of drinking water in Ethiopia, their findings have been inconsistent and varied, hindering the implementation of effective water quality monitoring. Moreover, there is a lack of nationwide assessment of the bacteriological quality of drinking water in Ethiopia.
