The bacterial transcription factor IclR (isocitrate lyase regulator) is a member of a one-component signal transduction system, which shares the common motif of a helix-turn-helix (HTH)-type DNA-binding domain (DBD) connected to a substrate-binding domain (SBD). Here, the crystal structure of an IclR homologue (Mi-IclR) from Microbacterium sp. strain HM58-2, which catabolizes acylhydrazide as t...

Commensal bacteria co-exist on the mucosal surfaces of all vertebrates. The host's mucosal immune system must tolerate commensals while fighting pathogens. One of the mechanisms used by the mucosal immune system to maintain homeostasis is the secretion of immunoglobulins (Igs) across epithelial barriers, which is achieved via the polymeric immunoglobulin receptor (pIgR). Rainbow trout pIgR is k...

Grazing disturbance can change the structure of plant rhizosphere microbial communities and thereby alter feedback to promote growth or induce defenses. However, little is known about how such changes occur vary under different grazing pressures roles root metabolites in altering composition communities. In this study, effects on were investigated, mechanisms by which changed microbiomes explor...

Microbacterium profundi strain Shh49(T) was isolated from deep-sea sediment from a polymetallic nodule area located in the East Pacific Ocean. Strain Shh49(T) contains genes related to the reduction/oxidation of metals. It has potential application in the bioremediation of heavy metal-contaminated environments.

Bacillus megaterium MNSH1-9K-1 and Microbacterium liquefaciens MNSH2-PHGII-2, 2 nickel- and vanadium-resistant bacteria from mine tailings located in Guanajuato, Mexico, are shown to have the ability to remove 33.1% and 17.8% of Ni, respectively, and 50.8% and 14.0% of V, respectively, from spent petrochemical catalysts containing 428 ± 30 mg·kg(-1) Ni and 2165 ± 77 mg·kg(-1) V. In these strain...

The members of Microbacterium isolated from different environments are known to form peptidoglycan. In this study, we compared the biofilm-forming abilities sp. PAMC22086 (PAMC22086), which was soil in South Shetland Islands and PAMC21962 (PAMC21962), algae Islands. analysis average nucleotide identity phylogeny revealed a 97% similarity oxydans VIU2A, while showed 99.1% hominis SGAir0570.
