The current study investigates the diversity pattern and fungicidal potential of bacterial endophytes isolated from two different organic varieties tomato plants (V1 V2). A total seventy-five isolates identified by 16S rRNA gene sequencing revealed a majority genus as Bacillus one Planococcus , which were grouped into eight species. Shannon H’ (1.56), Simpson’s index (0.93), Magalef’ (2.23), Evenness (0.96), Species richness (7) indicated high endophytic in V1 variety tomato. Bacterial both...
A novel Gram-staining-negative gammaproteobacterium, designated IITR-13T, was isolated from a pesticide-contaminated soil and characterized using polyphasic approach. On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, strain showed closest similarity (98.7 %) to Rheinheimera tangshanensis JA3-B52T followed by texasensis A62-14BT (97.7 soli BD-d46T (97.3 %). The other members genus < 97.3 %. However, DNA-DNA hybridization between IITR-13T type strains R. tangshanensis, 47.5 ± 0.6, 42.4 0.4 39.8...
The taxonomic position of a Gram-stain negative, non-violaceinpigmented bacterium isolated from an insecticide-contaminated site was characterized by polyphasic approach. able to grow on three different halogenated compounds namely 1-hlorobutane, 1-hloropropane and 1,2-ichloroethane. As critical step in the degradation these haloalkanes, stoichiometric amounts dechlorination were estimated. Based selective enrichment method for months, using highly contaminated mixed chemical soil, obtained...
Weissella confusa and cibaria strains isolated from the human- gut are considered as potential probiotics, but remain under-explored owing to their ambiguous taxonomic assignment. The present study assesses resolution of 11 belonging W. species highlights inter- intraspecies variations using an array phenetic molecular methods. Remarkable genomic variability among was observed by phylogenetic analysis concatenated housekeeping genes (pheS, gyrB, dnaA) along with 16S rRNA gene sequence,...
Despite the ubiquity of genus Citrobacter in clinical, industrial, and environmental scenarios, a large number strains have not been explored at genome-scale level. In this study, accurate taxonomic assignment strain AAK_AS5 isolated from activated sludge was achieved by in-silico genomic comparison using Overall Genome-based Relatedness Indices (ANI(OAT): 97.55%, ANIb:97.28%, ANIm: 97.83%) that indicated its closest identity to related portucalensis A60T . Results were consistent with...
The residue level of hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH) at contaminated dumpsites and nearby or related sites were studied. Water samples sediments collected from different HCH for analysis. These include solexa data dumpsite, Ummari, Lucknow (U.P.) (SolexaDS), dumpsite (DS) two the pond near pesticide industry, Chinhat, (PS1 PS2). 1km 5km away DS i.e., respectively also included in study. There was a correlation concentration with LinA LinB protein distribution. Further, to investigate prevalence...
