A new Vibrio strain, V1B, was isolated from the intestinal tract of the scallop Argopecten purpuratus Strain V1B is closely related to the species Vibrio inhibens BFLP-10, which has been characterized as showing antagonistic activity against pathogenic Vibrio sp. We report here the draft genome of the isolated Vibrio sp. strain V1B.

Infecções hospitalares, causadas por bactérias e fungos, constituem uma causa crescente de morbidade mortalidade no Brasil mundo. Embora alguns insetos sejam vetores bem conhecidos microrganismos, as formigas têm-se revelado cada vez mais como ameaças à saúde pública, atuando mecânicos microrganismos patogênicos. Foram realizadas coletas em diferentes setores um hospital público da cidade Itabu...

Many of the cyanobacterial species found in marine and saline environments have a gene encoding a putative nitrite transporter of the formate/nitrite transporter (FNT) family. The presumed function of the gene (designated nitM) was confirmed by functional expression of the gene from the coastal marine species Synechococcus sp. strain PCC7002 in the nitrite-transport-less mutant (NA4) of the fre...

Pseudomonas sp. strain TKP does not degrade γ-hexachlorocyclohexane (γ-HCH), but it persistently coexists with the γ-HCH-degrading Sphingobium sp. strain TKS in a mixed culture enriched by γ-HCH. Here, we report the complete genome sequence of strain TKP, which consists of one circular chromosome with a size of 7 Mb.

We present the complete genome sequence of Bradyrhizobium sp. strain CCGE-LA001, a nitrogen-fixing bacterium isolated from nodules of Phaseolus microcarpus. Strain CCGE-LA001 represents the first sequenced bradyrhizobial strain obtained from a wild Phaseolus sp. Its genome revealed a large and novel symbiotic island.

Genome sequences for three strains of denitrifying bacteria (Alphaproteobacteria-Afipia sp. strain 1NLS2 and Hyphomicrobium denitrificans strain 1NES1; Firmicutes-Bacillus sp. strain 1NLA3E) isolated from the nitrate- and uranium-contaminated subsurface of the Oak Ridge Integrated Field Research Challenge (ORIFRC) site, Oak Ridge Reservation, TN, are reported.

We isolated aromatics-degrading bacteria from the gut of a lower termite, Coptotermes formosanus, using a mineral salt medium containing various aromatic compounds as the sole carbon source. Two species, Burkholderia sp. strain VE22 and Citrobacter sp. strain VA53, were isolated by aerobic enrichment culture with veratraldehyde and vanillin, respectively. Strain VA53 could also grow and metabol...

Single cell oil production from sugarcane bagasse hydrolysate by oleaginous yeast Rhodotorula sp. IIP-33 was analyzed using a two stage statistical design approach based on Response Surface Methodology. Variables like pentose sugar, (NH4)2SO4, KH2PO4, yeast extract, pH and temperature were found to influence lipid production significantly. Under optimized condition in a shake flask, yield of li...
