Herein we report crystal growth control of rod-shaped ε-FeO nanocrystals by developing a synthesis based on the sol-gel technique using β-FeO(OH) as a seed in the presence of a barium cation. ε-FeO nanocrystals are obtained over a wide calcination temperature range between 800 °C and 1000 °C. A low calcination temperature (800 °C) provides an almost cubic rectangular-shaped ε-FeO nanocrystal with an aspect ratio of 1.4, whereas a high calcination temperature (1000 °C) provides an elongated rod-shaped ε-FeO nanocrystal with an aspect ratio of 3.3. Such systematic anisotropic growth of ε-FeO is achieved due to the wide calcination temperature in the presence of barium cations. The surface energy and the anisotropic adsorption of barium on the surface of ε-FeO can explain the anisotropic crystal growth of rod-shaped ε-FeO along the crystallographic -axis. The present work may provide important knowledge about how to control the anisotropic crystal shape of nanomaterials.

The opportunistic pathogen sp. ATCC 39006 (S39006) is a rod-shaped, motile, Gram-negative bacterium that produces a 𝛽-lactam antibiotic (a carbapenem) and a bioactive red-pigmented tripyrrole antibiotic, prodigiosin. It is also the only known enterobacterium that naturally produces intracellular gas vesicles (GVs), enabling cells to float in static water columns.

Strain NoAH (=KACC 23135=JCM 35999), a novel Gram-negative, motile bacterium with a rod-shaped morphology, was isolated from the zoo animal faecal samples, specifically the long-tailed goral species . The novel bacterial strain grew optimally in a nutrient broth medium under the following conditions: 1-2% (w/v) NaCl, pH 7-8 and 30 °C. The strain NoAH exhibited high tolerance to NaCl, with the ability to tolerate up to 7% (w/v) NaCl.

Polysaccharides are recognized for their extensive biological functions, holding significant promise for applications in both medicine and food industries. However, their utilization is frequently constrained by challenges such as high molecular weights and indistinct sugar chain structures. Recently, two novel bacterial strains, N6 and J3, were isolated from the Nakdong River in Korea.
