Draft genome sequences of Bacillus pumilus 36R ATNSAL and B. safensis 13L LOBSAL, two potential candidate probiotic strains for shrimp aquaculture.

Objectives: This work aimed to isolate bacterial strains with antagonist activity against Vibrio parahaemolyticus, the causative agent of acute hepatopancreatic necrosis disease (VP) that was isolated from outbreaks in Mexico. Here, we report the draft genome sequences of two antagonistic strains, isolated from saline sediment in Sonora, Mexico.

Methods: Cross-streak and well diffusion tests were employed to find the bacterial strains with higher inhibitory activity against VP.

Optimized packing multidimensional hyperspheres: a unified approach.

In this paper an optimized multidimensional hyperspheres packing problem (HPP) is considered for a bounded container. Additional constraints, such as prohibited zones in the container or minimal allowable distances between spheres can also be taken into account. Containers bounded by hyper- (spheres, cylinders, planes) are considered.
