Polyamide4 (PA4) is a bioplastic with superior properties and high biodegradability. Although some PA4-degrading microorganisms have been isolated from various environments, enzymes that play role in PA4 degradation are yet to be identified. In this study, we novel microorganism, Pseudoxanthomonas sp. TN-N1. This strain showed clear zone surrounding the colony on an agar plate medium containing...

The complete sequence of the plasmid pNDM-1_Dok01 carrying New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase (NDM-1) was determined by whole genome shotgun sequencing using Escherichia coli strain NDM-1_Dok01 (multilocus sequence typing type: ST38) and the transconjugant E. coli DH10B. The plasmid is an IncA/C incompatibility type composed of 225 predicted coding sequences in 195.5 kb and partially shares a sequen...

Bacteria oxidize organic matter and nutrients to produce electric energy in microbial fuel cells (MFC) - a technology of increasing importance because of its sustainability. To improve the performance of MFCs, it is necessary not only to gain a better understanding of MFC engineering designs, but also to improve the understanding of the composition of the microbial communities in MFCs. Fas...

A gram-negative, rod-shaped, isoproturon (IPU) utilizing bacterium was isolated from herbicide-applied wheat fields of Tarai agro-ecosystem, Pantnagar. The phylogenetic sequence analysis based on 16S rRNA sequence revealed that the isolate could be a distinct species within the genus Pseudomonas. The isolate was a close relative of Pseudoxanthomonas japonensis (95 % similarity) and designated a...

The main idea was to solve the problem related oil contamination of soil using bioremediation with bioaugmentation modeled microorganism strains. paper aimed develop a bacterial consortium for petroleum hydrocarbon degradation during biological treatment oil-contaminated soils electronic databases. research methodology included an analysis mechanisms and metabolic pathways assessment possible r...

Abstract Dopamine has demonstrated promise as a stress-relief substance. However, the function of dopamine in Cd tolerance and its mechanism remains largely unknown. The current study was performed to investigate on alleviating apple stress through regular application CdCl2 solution potting soil. results indicated that significantly reduced reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation alleviated ...

A multistage mesocosm vertical flow constructed wetland system was designed to treat synthetic domestic wastewater with a high nitrogen (N) load. The study aim determine the impact of design and operational variables on N removal efficiency in such systems. tidal strategy enhanced aeration coupled step-feeding approach promote removal. Over 420-day running period rates were between 70 77 gN/m3/...

Restoration of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon- (PAH-) polluted sites is presently a major challenge in agroforestry. Consequently, microorganisms with PAH-degradation ability and soil fertility improvement attributes are sought after in order to achieve sustainable remediation of polluted sites. This study isolated PAH-degrading bacteria from enriched cultures of spent automobile engine-oil po...

Endophytes are microorganisms which live symbiotically with almost all varieties of plant and in turn helping the plant in a number of ways. Instead of satisfactory surface sterilization approaches, repeatedly occurring bacterial growth on in vitro rootstock cultures of peach and pear was identified and isolated as endophytic bacteria in our present study. Five different isolates from peach roo...
