Five Gram-negative, rod-shaped, non-spore-forming bacteria were isolated from galls on different stone fruit rootstocks in Poland: strains F5.1(T) and F5.3 from Prunus avium F12/1, strains CP3.5 and CP17.2.1 from Prunus avium and strain AL5.1.8 from Prunus cerasifera. On the basis of 16S rDNA phylogeny, the strains cluster together and belong to the genus Pararhizobium with type strain of Pararhizobium herbae (99.6-99.8%) as their closest relative. Phylogenetic analysis of the novel strains using housekeeping genes atpD, recA and rpoB revealed their distinct position separate from other known Rhizobium species and confirmed their relation to P. herbae. DNA-DNA hybridization of strains F5.1(T), with the type strain of P. herbae LMG 25718(T) and Pararhizobium giardinii R-4385(T) revealed 28.3% and 27.9% of DNA-DNA relatedness, respectively. Phenotypic and physiological properties differentiate the novel isolates from other closely related species. On the basis of the results obtained, the five isolates are considered to represent a novel species of the genus Pararhizobium, for which the name Pararhizobium polonicum sp. nov. (type strain F5.1(T)=LMG 28610(T)=CFBP 8359(T)) is proposed.

Twisted halide perovskite bilayers, a type of moiré material, show square moiré patterns with exciting optical properties. Atomic-scale structure analysis and its correlation with properties are difficult to achieve due to the extreme sensitivity of organic-inorganic halide perovskites to the illuminated electron beam in conventional/scanning transmission electron microscopy. Here, we developed a low-dose exit wave reconstruction methodology with a real-space resolution of one angstrom at ∼50 e/Å, which recovers the phase information on the moiré fringes in CHNHPbI (MAPbI) twisted perovskite bilayers at atomic scale, enabling detailed structural analysis of defects and corresponding strain distribution in such moiré materials.

Distinct tau amyloid assemblies underlie diverse tauopathies but defy rapid classification. Cell and animal experiments indicate tau functions as a prion, as different strains propagated in cells cause unique, transmissible neuropathology after inoculation. Strain amplification requires compatibility of the monomer and amyloid template.

Three novel strains within the genus (29887, 29892 and 29896) were isolated from healthy pigs during routine veterinary physical exams. All three strains were non-motile and non-spore-forming Gram-positive cocci. The complete genome of each strain was attained, and phylogenetic analyses were performed.

Boosting the catalytic efficiency of UGT51 for efficient production of rare ginsenoside Rh2.

Ginsenoside Rh2(S) is well-known for its therapeutic potential against diverse conditions, including some cancers, inflammation, and diabetes. The enzymatic activity of uridine diphosphate glycosyltransferase 51 (UGT51) from Saccharomyces cerevisiae plays a pivotal role in the glycosylation process between UDP-glucose (donor) and protopanaxadiol (acceptor), to form ginsenoside Rh2. However, the catalytic efficiency of the UGT51 has remained a challenging task.
