The present study evaluated 15 isolates obtained of environmental samples capable of tolerating high Ni and V concentrations. Those coded as MNSH2-PHGII-1, MNSH2-PHGII-2 and MV-PHGII-2 showed a minimum inhibitory concentration higher than 200 ppm for Ni and V and showed removal percentages corresponding to 84, 75 and 26% for Ni and 60, 55 and 20.3% for V, respectively, in liquid medium. When spent catalyst was added at 16% (w/v) pulp density, the highest Ni and V removal corresponded to MNSH2-PHGII-1 and MNSH2-PHGII-2, which were identified as Microbacterium oxydans and Microbacterium liquefaciens respectively, Microbacterium oxydans was able to remove Ni at the extent of 45.4% and V at 30.4% while Microbacterium liquefaciens removed Ni at 51% and V at 41.4% from the spent catalyst. The isolate MV-PHGII-2 identified also as Microbacterium oxydans showed the lowest removal for Ni and V corresponding to 16% and 9.5%, respectively. This is the first report where strains of Microbacterium were tested for their abilities to remove Ni and V from spent catalyst, suggesting its potential use in the treatment of this solid industrial waste.

, a wild plant in southern Africa, is utilized in traditional medicine for various ailments, leading to its endangerment and listing on the Red List of South African Plants. To date, there have been no reports on bacterial endophytes from this plant, their classes of secondary metabolites, and potential medicinal properties. This study presents (i) taxonomic characterization of bacterial endophytes in leaf and root tissues using 16S rRNA, (ii) bacterial isolation, morphological, and phylogenetic characterization, (iii) bacterial growth, metabolite extraction, and LC-MS-based metabolite fingerprinting, and (iv) antimicrobial testing of bacterial crude extracts.

Bioaugmentation techniques still show drawbacks in the cleanup of total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPHs) from petroleum-contaminated site soil. Herein, this study explored high-performance immobilized bacterial pellets (IBPs) embed Microbacterium oxydans with a high degrading capacity, and developed a controlled-release oxygen composite (CROC) that allows the efficient, long-term release of oxygen. Tests with four different microcosm incubations were performed to assess the effects of IBPs and CROC on the removal of TPHs from petroleum-contaminated site soil.

Article Synopsis
- Microorganisms form complex biofilm communities on plant roots, and this study focuses on a four-species model (SPMX) to explore their interactions and spatial organization.
- The SPMX co-culture significantly enhances root growth and biomass in Arabidopsis, showing that these multispecies biofilms differ from those formed by individual species.
- P. amylolyticus, initially a weak colonizer, becomes essential for biofilm structure and plant growth promotion, illustrating that weak species can thrive through cooperation in diverse microbial communities.

Article Synopsis
- - This study compares the biofilm-forming abilities of two bacterial isolates from the South Shetland Islands: PAMC22086 from soil and PAMC21962 from algae, revealing key genomic traits that influence their growth and survival in different environments.
- - Genetic analysis showed that PAMC22086 and PAMC21962 share some biofilm-related genes, but PAMC22086 possesses unique genes that help with attachment and glycogen production, indicating distinct survival strategies.
- - The experiment showed that PAMC22086 forms a biofilm that attaches to surfaces, whereas PAMC21962 starts growing from the center, highlighting the morphological differences and adaptability of these bacteria in their respective habitats.
A Novel Estrone Degradation Gene Cluster and Catabolic Mechanism in Microbacterium oxydans ML-6.

Global-scale estrone (E1) contamination of soil and aquatic environments results from the widespread use of animal manure as fertilizer, threatening both human health and environmental security. A detailed understanding of the degradation of E1 by microorganisms and the associated catabolic mechanism remains a key challenge for the bioremediation of E1-contaminated soil. Here, Microbacterium oxydans ML-6, isolated from estrogen-contaminated soil, was shown to efficiently degrade E1.
