A strain designated as BA03, with the ability to transform ferulic acid into vanillin and 4-vinylguaiacol, was isolated from contaminated cryovials. The production of natural value-added compounds was dependent on the media employed. The morphological and physiological characteristics of this strain were compared with those of the typical vanillin-producer strain Amycolatopsis sp. ATCC 39116. According to a partial 16S rRNA sequence, we determined that BA03 belonged to Bacillus aryabhattai. In addition, analysis of the results showed that this strain exhibited interesting enzymatic activity, including cellulases, laccases, lipases and pectinases. In light of this, we propose new functions for this multitasking microorganism. We suggest that it may be used for converting lignocellulosic wastes into byproducts with industrial uses, and also for treating disposal residues such as dyes in the textile industry. Hence, the possibility for novel research with B. aryabhattai opens up in the fields of biodegradation and/or revalorization of wastes.

The recombinated amylopullulanase of PulW310B, pullulanase from Bacillus aryabhattai W310, was characterized. Sequence analysis of PulW310B showed that PulW310B has type I pullulanase structures including its typical region and the conserved regions of glycoside hydrolase family 13. Moreover, PulW310B was predicted to has typical domains of pullulanase and SSF51445 belonging to tansglycosidase.

Introduction: is a common protective forest in coastal areas. However, artificial forests cannot self-renew, mainly due to the accumulation of allelochemicals. Endophytic bacteria may alleviate the root growth inhibition caused by allelochemicals in seedlings.

This work was carried out to isolate and perform molecular identification and selection of endophytic nitrogen-fixing bacteria (ENFB) to be utilized as biofertilizer. In this research, nodulous samples of peanuts were collected from inside dyke areas, namely, Phuoc Hung of An Phu, An Giang, Vietnam. Ten colonies were isolated from nutrient agar plates containing YMA's medium.

Extensive Monocrotophos (MCP) application in agricultural soils has led to its ubiquitous accumulation in the environment. Human health can be adversely affected by chronic exposure to produce and water from such areas, causing endocrine dysfunction, birth defects, blood and nervous disorders. This study investigated the possibility of detecting Monocrotophos-degrading bacteria in soil samples taken from a cotton cultivation field in a local area.
