Priestia megaterium MWU16-30321 was isolated from a mixed bacterial culture in a cranberry stem gall in Massachusetts following a severe winter. The genome is 5,623,390 bp in size and putatively encodes indole-3-acetic acid acetyltransferase, a key enzyme in tryptophan-dependent indole-3-acetic acid production.

α-Amylases, constituting a significant share of the enzyme market, are mainly synthesized by the genus Bacillus. Enzymes tailored for specific industrial applications are needed to meet the growing demand across a range of industries, and thus finding new amylases and optimizing the ones that already exist are extremely important. This study reports the successful expression, characterization and immobilization of P.

Researchers have reported that Bacillus megaterium BM18-2 reduces Cd toxicity in Hybrid Pennisetum, but understanding the interaction between plants and associated endophytes is crucial for understanding phytoremediation strategies under heavy metal stress. The current study aims to monitor the colonization patterns of GFP-labeled endophytic bacteria BM18-2 on Hybrid Pennisetum grass. Additionally, it will monitor Cd's effect on plant bacterial colonization.

Marine microbial communities colonizing the skin of invertebrates constitute the primary barrier between host and environment, potentially exerting beneficial, neutral, or detrimental effects on host fitness. To evaluate the potential contribution of epibiotic bacteria to the survival of early developmental stages of Octopus mimus, bacterial isolates were obtained from eggs, paralarvae, and adults. Their enzymatic activities were determined, and antibacterial properties were assessed against common marine pathogens.

Granite sludge dust (GSD), a significant byproduct of granite processing globally, poses severe environmental and public health challenges, with India alone generating 200 million tons annually. The conventional use of GSD in soil stabilization and construction materials is limited to 20-30%, underscoring the urgent need for sustainable repurposing solutions within the circular economy catering to broader bulk utilization. Unlike traditional techniques, repurposing granite dust using microbially induced calcite precipitation (MICP) offers a sustainable low-impact and eco-friendly ground improvement solution.
