The genus Janibacter was proposed by Martin et al. (1997) with the type species Janibacter limosus. The genus Janibacter belongs to the family Intrasporangiaceae in the order Actinomycetales. There are currently four species in the genus Janibacter : Janibacter limosus (Martin et al., 1997), Janibacter terrae (Yoon et al., 2000), Janibacter melonis (Yoon et al., 2004) and Janibacter anophelis (...

Two strains that were strongly able to degrade trichloroethylene were isolated from contaminated environmental samples. The isolates are non-motile, aerobic, non-spore-forming, gram-positive coccoid to short rods with cell-wall peptidoglycan containing meso-diaminopimelic acid. The major type of menaquinone is MK-8(H4). The polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol and phos...

Janibacter hoylei MTCC8307 was isolated from stratospheric air at an altitude of 41.4 km over Hyderabad, India. Here, we present the draft genome of Janibacter hoylei MTCC8307, which contains 3,139,099 bp with a G+C content of 72.8 mol%, 2,972 protein-coding genes, and 57 structural RNAs.

In the present study, the ecological distribution of marine Actinobacteria isolated from seamount and non-seamount stations in the Tyrrhenian Sea was investigated. A collection of 110 isolates was analyzed by Automated Ribosomal Intergenic Spacer Analysis (ARISA) and 16S rRNA gene sequencing of representatives for each ARISA haplotype (n=49). Phylogenetic analysis of 16S rRNA sequences showed a...

Actinomycetes are indispensable in the search for novel, potent and eco friendly fertilizers. The aim of this study was to investigate ability Janibacter sp. RC18 enhance tomato plant growth. isolated from turmeric rhizosphere screened vitro vivo growth promoting traits. promotion traits exhibited by strain were phosphate solubilization ammonia production. inoculated recorded significant (P<...

The ethyl acetate extract of cultures of Janibacter limosus showed a high biological activity against bacteria, and fungi and delivered two new natural products, a tetrahydroquinoline derivative designated as helquinoline (1), and the N-acetylkynuramine (3a), along with other known secondary metabolites. The structure of 1 has been elucidated as 4-methoxy-2-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline-8-...

Background Janibacter melonis and other member of this genus are known to cause bacteremia and serious clinical comorbidities, but there is no study reporting about pathogenicity attributes of J. melonis. Janibacter terrae is known to cause lethal infection. Reporting the genome of J. melonis CD11-4 and comparative genomics with other members of genus has provided some novel insights that can e...
