A new species of the genus Trichococcus, strain Art1, was isolated from a psychrotolerant syntrophic propionate-oxidizing consortium, obtained before from a low-temperature EGSB reactor fed with a mixture of VFAs (acetate, propionate and butyrate). The 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain Art1 was highly similar to those of other Trichococcus species (99.7-99.9 %) but digital DNA-DNA hybridization values were lower than those recommended for the delineation of a novel species, indicating that strain Art1 is a novel species of the genus Trichococcus. Cells of strain Art1 are non-motile cocci with a diameter of 0.5-2.0 µm and were observed singularly, in pairs, short chains and irregular conglomerates. Cells of Art1 stained Gram-positive and produced extracellular polymeric substances . Growth was optimal at pH 6-7.5 and cells could grow in a temperature range of from -2 to 30 °C (optimum 25-30 °C). Strain Art1 can degrade several carbohydrates, and the main products from glucose fermentation are lactate, acetate, formate and ethanol. The genomic DNA G+C content of strain Art1 is 46.7 %. The major components of the cellular fatty acids are C16 : 1 ω9c, C16 : 0 and C18 : 1 ω9c. Based on genomic and physiological characteristics of strain Art1, a new species of the genus Trichococcus, Trichococcusshcherbakoviae, is proposed. The type strain of Trichococcusshcherbakoviae is Art1 (=DSM 107162 = VKM B-3260).

Halotolerant endophytic bacteria alleviate salinity stress in rice (oryza sativa L.) by modulating ion content, endogenous hormones, the antioxidant system and gene expression.

Article Synopsis
- Excessive salinity is a major global issue affecting crop production, prompting researchers to explore solutions using endophytic bacteria.
- Three specific bacterial isolates (ART-1, ART-10, CAL-8) were tested on rice plants under high salinity (160 mM NaCl), resulting in improved growth and chlorophyll content.
- These bacteria influenced key hormone levels and mineral content in rice, suggesting their potential role as an eco-friendly option to enhance crop resilience against salinity stress.

Chlorimuron-ethyl and atrazine are two herbicides with long half-lives in soil; their long-term and excessive application has led to a series of environmental problems. In this study, the strains Chenggangzhangella methanolivorans CHL1 and Arthrobacter sp. ART1 were combined and used for the remediation of chlorimuron-ethyl, atrazine and combined contaminated soils in a microcosm experiment.

Molecular mechanisms underlying the responses to environmental factors, such as nitrogen, carbon and pH, involve components that regulate the production of secondary metabolites, including mycotoxins. In this study, we identified and characterized a gene in the FGSG_02083 locus, designated as FgArt1, which was predicted to encode a Zn(II)2 Cys6 zinc finger transcription factor. An FgArt1 deletion mutant of Fusarium graminearum exhibited impaired starch hydrolysis as a result of significantly reduced α-amylase gene expression.
