Objective(s):   The ongoing increasing antibiotic resistance is one of the biggest challenges faced by global public health. The perennial need for new antimicrobials against a background of increasing antibiotic resistance in pathogenic and opportunistic microorganisms obliges the scientific community to constantly develop new drugs and antimicrobial agents. Lichens are known pro...

Bioaccumulation of Cd(2+) in soil bacteria might represent an important route of metal transfer to associated mycorrhizal fungi and plants and may have potential as a tool to accelerate Cd(2+) extraction in the bioremediation of contaminated soils. The present study examined the bioaccumulation of Cd(2+) in 15 bacterial strains representing three phyla (Firmicutes, Proteobacteria, and Bacteroid...

The present study is aimed at assessing the ability of Pseudomonas sp. AN29 to uptake Hg from the metal contaminated environment. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MICs) of Hg was 500 μg/ml. Pseudomonas sp. AN29 could tolerate Pb (600 g/ml), Cu (200 g/ml), Cd (50 g/ml), Zn (50 g/ml), Ni (550 g/ml) and Cr (150 g/ml). The isolate showed typical growth curve but phases (lag and log) exte...

Pseudomonas sp. strain 2-92, isolated from a Canadian field plot under long-term mineral fertilization, strongly inhibits the growth of Fusarium graminearum, Rhizoctonia solani, and Gaeumannomyces graminis. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of Pseudomonas sp. strain 2-92.

Pseudomonas sp. LAB-08 was isolated from a phenol-fed bioreactor constructed with contaminated aquifer soil as the inoculum. Strain LAB-08 utilized phenol as a sole carbon and energy source. Here, we report the genome sequence and annotation of Pseudomonas sp. LAB-08.

From several polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)-utilizing mixed cultures, two component bacterial strains essential for PVA utilization were isolated, and their properties and roles in PVA utilization were studied. Each pair of essential component strains consisted of a type I strain, which produced a PVA-degrading enzyme and constituted the predominant population of the mixed culture in PVA, and a type I...

Pseudomonas sp. strain M1 is a soil isolate with remarkable biotechnological potential. The genome of Pseudomonas sp. M1 was sequenced using both 454 and Illumina technologies. A customized genome assembly pipeline was used to reconstruct its genome sequence to a single scaffold.
