Abstract Covering a quarter of the world’s tropical coastlines and being one most threatened ecosystems, mangroves are among major sources terrestrial organic matter to oceans harbor wide microbial diversity. In order protect, restore, better understand these researchers have extensively studied their microbiology, yet few surveys focused on fungal communities. Our lack knowledge is even more pronounced for specific populations, such as ones associated with rhizosphere. Likewise, Red Sea...
Since the composition of soil directs diversity contained microbiome and its potential to produce bioactive compounds, many studies has been focused on sediment types with unique features characteristic extreme environments. However, not much is known about microbiomes that inhabit highly saline hot Red Sea lagoons. This case study explores mangrove mud microbial mat sediments collected from Rabigh harbor lagoon Al Kharrar for antimicrobial bioprospecting. appears better location, best type...
Mycobacterium kansasii is an important opportunistic pathogen of humans and has a close phylogenetic relationship with tuberculosis. Seven subtypes (I-VII) have been identified using molecular biology approaches, which subtype I the most frequent causative agent human disease. To investigate genotypes pathogenic components M. kansasii, we sequenced compared complete base-perfect genomes different subtypes. Our findings support proposition that "subtypes" I-VI, whose assemblies are currently...
