Article Synopsis
- Antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in soil are spreading, but how they move through soil ecosystems is not well understood, particularly concerning the role of soil organisms like collembolans and predatory mites.
- This study analyzed the impact of pesticide stress (zinc thiazole) on the gut microbiomes of collembolans, finding that ARGs significantly increased in these organisms and transferred to predatory mites through feeding.
- Findings highlight that mobile genetic elements are key in transferring ARGs along the food chain, and there's a concerning connection between these genes and potential pathogens, emphasizing the importance of understanding antibiotic resistance dynamics in soil environments.

An aerobic, Gram-stain-negative, non-motile, non-spore-forming, short rod-shaped bacterial strain, designated NCCP 15609 , was isolated from the blood sample of a patient in the Republic of Korea. The strain was identified as Brevundimonas diminuta using MALDI-TOF. A phylogenetic tree constructed using 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that the isolate was of the genus Brevundimonas with 99.

Sixteen isolates of bacteria obtained from the entomopathogenic nematode (Heterorhabditis sp.) infected cadavers of Galleria mellonella larvae were identified following phenotypic characterization and molecular analysis of 16S rRNA. Two isolates were identified as the symbiotic bacterium, Photothabdus luminescens, while 14 other isolates were represented by nine species of nonsymbiotic bacteria viz.

In this study, highly selenite-resistant strains belonging to Brevundimonas diminuta (OK287021, OK287022) genus were isolated from previously operated single chamber microbial fuel cell (SCMFC). The central composite design showed that the B. diminuta consortium could reduce selenite.

Article Synopsis
- Ochratoxin A (OTA) is a harmful mycotoxin found in food, and a strain called Brevundimonas diminuta HAU429 was isolated for its ability to degrade OTA using specific enzymes.
- This strain transforms OTA into a less harmful form, ochratoxin α (OTα), reducing its toxic effects on liver cells while highlighting the importance of both intracellular and extracellular enzymes in this process.
- Three novel enzymes (BT6, BT7, BT9) were developed through genetic analysis and showed varying degrees of efficiency and stability in degrading OTA, with BT6 and BT7 being notably fast and resilient, suggesting potential applications for improving food safety practices.
