The fungal genus mostly comprises extremotolerant species from environmental sources, especially rock surfaces. The draft genome sequence of the rock fungus presented here is the first whole-genome sequence of the only species among black fungi known to have a nonmelanized spontaneous mutant.

Substygophily in Dinaric Karst: A Model Case of Locally Endemic Minnows (Leuciscinae).

Ecol Evol

December 2024

First Zoological Department Vienna Museum of Natural History Vienna Austria.

The Dinaric Karst extends along the Adriatic coast of the Western Balkan Peninsula and is home to a group of "karst minnows" of the genera , , and , which have adapted to the highly variable water conditions in the karst by spending up to several months underground, but require surface habitats for spawning, defining them as substygophiles. The three species of the genus , , , and , are defined by restricted ranges, making them vulnerable to pollution and extended draughts caused by the climate change. In this study, the phylogeny of Leusciscinae was reconstructed using 15 and one , one , and one complete mitochondrial genomes and the position of the genus within the subfamily as sister species to the clade was confirmed.

While the production of a draft genome has become more accessible due to long-read sequencing, the annotation of these new genomes has not been developed at the same pace. Long-read RNA sequencing (lrRNA-seq) offers a promising solution for enhancing gene annotation. In this study, we explore how sequencing platforms, Oxford Nanopore R9.

Biochemical and molecular mechanisms of Rhodococcus rhodochrous IITR131 for polyethylene terephthalate degradation.

J Appl Microbiol

December 2024

Environmental Biotechnology Laboratory, Environmental Toxicology Group, FEST Division, CSIR-Indian Institute of Toxicology Research, Vishvigyan Bhawan, 31 Mahatma Gandhi Marg, Lucknow-226001, Uttar Pradesh, India.

Aims: To isolate polyethylene terephthalate (PET) degrading bacteria and elucidate the underlying mechanisms of PET biodegradation through biochemical and genome analysis.

Methods And Results: A Rhodococcus rhodochrous IITR131 was found to degrade PET. Strain IITR131 genome revealed metabolic versatility of the bacterium and had the ability to form biofilm on PET sheet resulting in the cracks, abrasions, and degradation.
