MycoBank, a registration system for fungi established in 2004 to capture all taxonomic novelties, acts as coordination hub between repositories such Index Fungorum and Fungal Names. Since January 2013, of fungal names is mandatory requirement valid publication under the International Code Nomenclature algae, plants (ICN). This review explains database innovations that have been implemented over past few years, discusses new features advanced queries, typification events (MBT numbers lecto,...
Abstract Taxonomic and functional research of microorganisms has increasingly relied upon genome-based data methods. As the depository Global Catalogue Microorganisms (GCM) 10K prokaryotic type strain sequencing project, Type Strain (gcType) published 1049 genomes sequenced by GCM project which are preserved in global culture collections with a valid status. Additionally, information provided through gcType includes >12 000 publicly available genome sequences from GenBank incorporated...
Given their ecological importance, bioindicators are used for the assessment of health river ecosystems. This study explored fungal compositions and potential taxa as indicating water quality Mekong River, use indicators River was not previously well characterized. The exhibited dynamic variations in both physicochemical/hydrochemical properties communities according to seasons locations. results revealed dominance alkaline earth metal ions weak acids water. magnesium-bicarbonate type found...
Abstract Background MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been known to play an important role in several biological processes both animals and plants. Although tools for miRNA target identification are available, the number of tailored towards plants is limited, those that available specific functionality, lack graphical user interfaces, restrict input sequences. Large-scale computational identifications miRNAs and/or targets also reported. Their methods, however, only described as flow diagrams, which...
The World Data Centre for Microorganisms (WDCM) was established 50 years ago as the data center of Federation Culture Collections (WFCC)-Microbial Resource Center (MIRCEN). WDCM aims to provide integrated information services using big technology microbial resource centers and microbiologists all over world. Here, we an overview including its services. Information Worldwide (CCINFO) provides metadata on 708 culture collections from 72 countries regions. Global Catalogue Microorganism (GCM)...
Throughout the long history of industrial and academic research, many microbes have been isolated, characterized preserved (whenever possible) in culture collections. With steady accumulation observational data biodiversity as well microbial sequencing data, bio-resource centers to function information repositories serve academia, industry, regulators on behalf for general public. Hence, World Data Centre Microorganisms (WDCM) started take its responsibility constructing an effective...
Ophiocordyceps unilateralis is an outstanding insect fungus for its biology to manipulate host ants' behavior and extreme host-specificity. Through the sequencing annotation of polyrhachis-furcata, a species in O. complex specific ant Polyrhachis furcata, comparative analyses on genes involved pathogenicity virulence between this other fungi were undertaken order gain insights into emergence specificity. polyrhachis-furcata possesses various implicated common with fungi. Overall,...
Genomic information is essential for taxonomic, phylogenetic, and functional studies to comprehensively decipher the characteristics of microorganisms, explore microbiomes through metagenomics, answer fundamental questions nature human life. However, large gaps remain in available genomic sequencing published bacterial archaeal species, are even larger fungal type strains. The Global Catalogue Microorganisms (GCM) leads an internationally coordinated effort sequence strains close maps...
Analyzing temporal and spatial distributions of airborne particles biological origins is vital for the assessment monitoring air quality, especially with regard to public health, environmental ecology, atmospheric chemistry. However, analysis frequently impeded by low levels biomass in air, metagenomic DNA explore diversity composition living organisms their components air. To obtain sufficient amounts from bioaerosols, researchers usually need a long sampling time an expensive high-volume...
With the growing numbers of urban population, an increasing number commuters have relied on subway systems for rapid transportation in daily life. Analyzing temporal distribution air microbiomes environments is crucial assessment and monitoring quality system, especially with regard to public health. This study employed culture-independent metabarcode sequencing analyze bacterial diversity variations compositions associated bioaerosols collected from a station Bangkok over four-month period....
In bacterial pathogens, both cell surface-exposed outer membrane proteins and secreted into the extracellular environment play crucial roles in host-pathogen interaction pathogenesis. Considerable efforts have been made to identify (OM) (EX) produced by Leptospira interrogans, which may be used as novel targets for development of infection markers leptospirosis vaccines. this study we a computational framework based on combined prediction methods with deduction concept putative OM EX encoded...
Abstract Background Manual chemical data curation from publications is error-prone, time consuming, and hard to maintain up-to-date sets. Automatic information extraction can be used as a tool reduce these problems. Since structures usually described in images, needs combine structure image recognition text mining together. Results We have developed ChemEx, system. ChemEx processes both images publications. Text annotator able extract compound, organism, assay entities content while enables...
Background Emergence of Vibrio parahaemolyticus pandemic strain O3:K6 was first documented in 1996. Since then it has been accounted for large outbreaks diarrhea globally. In Thailand, prior studies on and non-pandemic V. had mostly done the south. The incidence molecular characterization strains other parts Thailand have not fully characterized. This study examined seafood samples purchased Bangkok collected eastern characterized isolates. Potential virulence genes, VPaI-7, T3SS2, biofilm...
This study demonstrates a remarkably high level of microbial-induced calcium carbonate precipitation (MICP) using mixed culture containing TBRC 1396 (Priestia megaterium), 8147 (Neobacillus drentensis) and ATCC 11859 (Sporosarcina pasteurii) bacterial strains. The produced CaCO3 weights 1·4 times higher than those obtained from S. pasteurii, the gold standard for efficient MICP processes. three strains were selected after characterization various Bacillus spp. related species their ability...
Five isolates of Metarhizium sp. were evaluated for their pathogenicity against the spider mite (Tetranychus truncatus Ehara) (Acari: Tetranychidae) and BCC 4849 resulted in highest mortality (82%) on 5th day post-inoculation (DPI). Subsequent insect bioassay data indicated similar high virulence five other insects: African red mites (Eutetranychus africanus Tucker) Tetranychidae), bean aphid (Aphis craccivora Koch) (Hemiptera: Aphididae), cassava mealybug (Phenacoccus manihoti...
Ogataea thermomethanolica TBRC656 is a thermotolerant methylotrophic yeast suitable for heterologous protein expression at various temperatures. However, the lack of efficient methods targeted gene mutagenesis limits strain engineering in this yeast. In study, we applied CRISPR-Cas9-based tool O. thermomethanolica. The putative unfolded response regulator OtHAC1, and OtMAL1 (maltase) OtMAL2 (maltose permease) genes involved with sucrose maltose utilization were CRISPR-Cas9 mutagenesis....
