Chitinophaga comprises microorganisms capable of degrading plant-derived carbohydrates, serving as a source of new tools for the characterization and degradation of plant biomass. Here, we report the draft genome assembly of a Chitinophaga strain with 8.2 Mbp and 7,173 open reading frames (ORFs), isolated from a bacterial consortium that is able to degrade lignocellulose.

Phaeobacter gallaeciensis strain ANG1 represents the dominant member of the bacterial consortium within the reproductive accessory nidamental gland (ANG) of the squid Euprymna scolopes. We present a 4.59-Mb assembly of its genome, which may provide clues as to how it benefits its host.

This study was undertaken to evaluate a novel aerobic wastewater treatment model for the remediation of refinery effluents and to assess the removal efficiency of Bulkholderia cepacia strain AJI and Corynebacterium kutscheri strain AJ2 to clean oil waste from petrochemical company. Wastewater quality parameters including pH, BOD5, COD, TDS, OIL & GREASE, PHENOL concentration, TPH and THC were m...

A unique consortium of ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) and denitrifying bacteria was obtained via a long-term, 3-step cultivation of isolates from organically-enriched marine sediment. We developed this microbial consortium for possible applications in the remediation of degraded habitats in closed aquaculture or other aquatic environments via microbial degradation. Analysis of media component...

A DNA-based, direct method for initial characterization of the total bacterial community in ileum and cecum of the chicken gastrointestinal (GI) tract was developed. The efficiencies of bacterial extraction and lysis were >95 and >99%, respectively, and therefore the DNA recovered should accurately reflect the bacterial communities of the ileal and cecal digesta. Total bacterial DNA samples wer...

The objective of this work was to study the potential a constructed bacterial consortium (comprised three strains: Stenotrophomonas maltophilia, Bacillus cereus, and anthracis) treat distillery wastewater via bioaugmentation process. discharged showed elevated total ammonium nitrogen (195.0 ± 1.24 mg L?1), dissolved solids (25980.6 8.09 chemical oxygen demand (20534.5 3.12 biological L?1). High...

We describe an assembled marine bacterial consortium designed for bioremediation of oil-contaminated seawater, based on a statistical method using Plackett-Burman (PB) experimental approach. The final consists four bacteria isolated from the Gulf Mexico, genera: Pseudomonas, Halopseudomonas, Paenarthrobacter , and Alcanivorax . Individually, oil removal by these microorganisms was evaluated gra...

The results of surgical and non-surgical treatment of active infective endocarditis in 182 patients over a 10-year period were analyzed. Heart failure, annular and myocardial abscesses, heart block, and coronary embolism, seen most frequently with staphylococcal and fungal endocarditis, were the primary causes of death in both native valve endocarditis (NVE) and prosthetic valve endocarditis (P...
