A comprehensive polyphasic characterization has validated the unique taxonomic position of a novel bacterium, strain EMC7T, isolated from worm castings earthworm, Eisenia fetida, collected Centre for Floriculture and Agri-Business Management (COFAM), NBU (26.7072° N, 88.3554° E). Whole-genome sequence this Gram-stain-negative, facultatively anaerobic, motile, rod-shaped bacterium showed maximum homology with Leclercia adecarboxylata NBRC 102595T, placing it within genus Leclercia. The genome...
<title>Abstract</title> The Mahananda River, coursing through Siliguri, India, is subject to intense anthropogenic stressors, including urban wastewater, industrial effluents, and agrochemical runoff, necessitating a high-resolution microbial assessment. Leveraging whole-metagenome sequencing, we analyzed midstream water samples (APMG02 APMG03) reconstructed 25 metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs), of which 14 met stringent quality criteria. We identified four novel bacterial species,...
A Gram-stain-positive, spore-forming bacterium, EAG3T, capable of growing on 3-nitropropionic acid as the sole source carbon, nitrogen and energy, was isolated from anterior gut an earthworm (Eisenia fetida) reared at Centre Floriculture Agribusiness Management University North Bengal Siliguri (26.7072° N, 88.3558° E), West Bengal, India. The DNA G+C content strain EAG3T 42.5 mol%. Strain contained MK-7 MK-8 predominant menaquinones. polar lipids were phosphatidylglycerol,...
Cadmium, a toxic heavy metal, poses significant global concern. A strain of the genus Pseudomonas, CD3, demonstrating cadmium resistance (up to 3 mM CdCl
Aeromonas is omnipresent in aquatic environments and cause disease within a wide host range. A total of thirty-four isolates from water samples small fish farms were identified as based on biochemical characteristics 16S rRNA gene sequence. six virulent factors analyzed which indicated 100% beta-haemolytic proteolytic, whereas 44.1, 38.2, 70.6% produced DNAse, siderophore, amylase, respectively. Studies the occurrence four genetic determinants virulence revealed that aer/haem (haemolytic...
We present the draft genome sequences of two bacterial strains that are putatively unique species and belong to different Gram-negative genera: Serratia sp. EWG9 Leclercia EMC7, recovered from gut cast, respectively, compost worm Eisenia fetida.
<title>Abstract</title> Cadmium, a toxic heavy metal, poses significant global concern. Out of 26 cadmium-resistant bacteria isolated from Malda, West Bengal, India, 10 exhibited resistance to cadmium. The study hypothesized that the net availability metal salt molecules in dissolved state would determine tolerance limit given bacterium towards particular metal. Experiments were conducted using modified medium supported maximum bioavailability cadmium, and strain CD3 was selected for...
