AI Article Synopsis

  • A new bacterial strain, THG-N2.35, was isolated from Pu'er tea and is characterized as a motile, Gram-stain negative species that thrives at temperatures of 10-40°C and near neutral pH.
  • Phylogenetic analysis indicates that it is closely related to several species of the genus Paracoccus, with the highest similarity to Paracoccus hibisci (99.0%), but exhibits distinct differences in DNA hybridization percentages.
  • Based on various analyses including DNA content, lipid composition, and physiological traits, THG-N2.35 is proposed as a new species named Paracoccus pueri sp. nov., with the type strain designated as THG-N2.35.

Article Abstract

A Gram-stain negative, aerobic, short rod-shaped, motile by flagella bacterial strain (THG-N2.35), was isolated from Pu'er tea. Growth occurred at 10-40 °C (optimum 28 °C), at pH 4-7 (optimum 7) and at 0-5% NaCl (optimum 1%). Based on 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, the near phylogenetic neighbours of strain THG-N2.35 were identified as Paracoccus hibisci KACC 18632 (99.0%), Paracoccus tibetensis CGMCC 1.8925 (98.7%), Paracoccus beibuensis CGMCC 1.7295 (98.2%), Paracoccus aestuarii KCTC 22049 (98.2%), Paracoccus rhizosphaerae LMG 26205 (98.1%), Paracoccus zeaxanthinifaciens ATCC 21588 (97.1%), Paracoccus marcusii DSM 11574 (97.0%). Levels of similarity between strain THG-N2.35 and other Paracoccus species were lower than 97.0%. DNA-DNA hybridization values between strain THG-N2.35 and P. hibisci KACC 18632, P. tibetensis CGMCC 1.8925, P. beibuensis CGMCC 1.7295, P. aestuarii KCTC 22049, P. rhizosphaerae LMG 26205, P. zeaxanthinifaciens ATCC 21588, P.marcusii DSM 11574 were 47.5% (42.3%, reciprocal analysis), 36.1% (32.3%), 24.7% (22.1%), 19.2% (16.3%), 11.3% (8.8%), 11.1% (10.8%), 6.1% (5.8%), respectively. The DNA G+C content of strain THG-N2.35 was 62.3 mol%. The polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidyl-N-methylethanolamine, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylcholine. The quinone was ubiquinone-10 (Q-10). The major fatty acids were C 3OH, C, C and C ω7ϲ. On the basis of the phylogenetic analysis, chemotaxonomic data, physiological characteristics and DNA-DNA hybridization data, strain THG-N2.35 represent a novel species of the genus Paracoccus, for which the name Paracoccus pueri sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is THG-N2.35 (= KACC 18934 = CCTCC AB 2016177).

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.
