AI Article Synopsis

  • A novel bacterial strain named THG-PC4 was isolated from rice field soil, characterized as Gram-negative, bright yellow, aerobic, and nonmotile, with optimal growth at 28 °C and pH 7.
  • The strain belongs to the genus Lysobacter, specifically closely related to Lysobacter fragariae, but with less than 45% DNA relatedness to its closest relatives, identified through 16S rRNA gene sequencing and DNA-DNA hybridization tests.
  • The strain exhibits unique chemotaxonomic properties, including a DNA G + C content of 66.6 mol %, presence of flexirubin-type pigments, and major cellular fatty acids that led to the proposal of a new species name, Lysobacter hum

Article Abstract

A novel bacterial strain THG-PC4 was isolated from soil sample of rice field and was characterized by using a polyphasic approach. Cells were Gram-negative, bright yellow colored, nonmotile and rod shaped. The strain was aerobic and catalase positive, optimum growth temperature, and pH were 28 °C and 7, respectively. On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, strain THG-PC4 belongs to the genus Lysobacter and is most closely related to Lysobacter fragariae KCTC 42236, followed by Lysobacter oryzae KCTC 22249, Lysobacter tyrosinelyticus KCTC 42235, Lysobacter terrae KACC 17646, Lysobacter yangpyeongensis KACC 11407, Lysobacter rhizosphaerae KCTC 42237 and Lysobacter niabensis KACC 11587. In DNA-DNA hybridization tests, the DNA relatedness between strain THG-PC4 and its closest phylogenetic neighbors was below 45 %. The DNA G + C content was 66.6 mol %, and the predominant respiratory quinone was ubiquinone-8. Flexirubin-type pigments were found to be present. The major cellular fatty acids were iso-C, iso-C ω9c, iso-C and iso-C 3OH. The predominant polar lipids were phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidylglycerol. The DNA-DNA hybridization, genotypic, chemotaxonomic and physiological data demonstrated that strain THG-PC4 represented a novel species within the genus Lysobacter, for which the name Lysobcater humi is proposed. The type strain is THG-PC4 (=KACC 18284 = CCTCC AB 2015292).

Fire blight, a devastating bacterial disease affecting rosaceous plants such as apples and pears, is caused by . The disease, known for its rapid spread and destructive potential, can lead to severe symptoms and often result in the death of infected plants. In Korea, the observation of was first recorded in 2015, and subsequent dissemination has been noted across the peninsula.

Benzo (a) pyrene produced by food during high-temperature process enters the body through ingestion, which causes food safety issues to the human body. In order to alleviate the harm of foodborne benzo (a) pyrene to human health, a strain that can degrade benzo (a) pyrene was screened from Kefir, a traditional fermented product in Xinjiang. Bacillus cereus M72-4 is a Gram-positive bacteria sourced from Xinjiang traditional fermented product Kefir, under Benzo(a)pyrene stress conditions, there was 69.

Atypical mycobacteria can cause rare and atypical infections of the hand. We report the case of an immunocompetent 46-year-old male initially presenting with thumb felon and progressively developing symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome, tenosynovitis of multiple fingers and a sporotrichoid lymphocutaneous infection causing chronic cutaneous lesions all over the body. We would like to highlight the diagnostic and therapeutic difficulties of these atypical infections, which mimic other conditions and can cause a lot of morbidity.

Purpose: Urinary incontinence (UI) is common in nulliparous female elite athletes, but underlying pathophysiology is inadequately understood. We examined urinary symptoms and associated pelvic floor anatomy and function in this population, hypothesizing that athletes with UI would exhibit pelvic floor findings seen in older incontinent women (e.g.

The cytoplasmic membrane of bacteria is composed of a phospholipid bilayer made up of a diverse set of lipids. Phosphatidylglycerol (PG) is one of the principal constituents and its production is essential for growth in many bacteria. All the enzymes required for PG biogenesis in have been identified and characterized decades ago.
