Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTA novel Streptomyces strain, designated 3_2T, was isolated from soil under the black Gobi rock sample of Northwest China. The taxonomic position of this strain was revealed by a polyphasic approach. Comparative analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that 3_2T was closely related to the members of the genus Streptomyces, with the highest similarity to Streptomyces rimosus subsp. rimosus CGMCC 4.1438 (99.17%), Streptomyces sioyaensis DSM 40032 (98.97%). Strain 3_2T can grow in media up to 13% NaCl. The genomic DNA ...

Prevalence of the virulence genes and their correlation with carbapenem resistance amongst the Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains isolated from a tertiary hospital in China
In this study, we aimed to evaluate the prevalence of sixteen virulence genes in four groups including type III secretion system, biofilm formation, extracellular toxin biosynthesis and enzymes amongst 209 clinical Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains. We investigated the different distribution patterns of virulence genotypes based on carbapenem-resistant phenotype or the carriage of carbapenemase genes. The detection rate of each virulence gene varied greatly. phzM and plcN were detected in all collected strains, while pilB and exoU were only carried by a small portion of isolates (6.7% and 16.3%). Additionally, the number of g...

Metabolic pathway of tebuconazole by soil fungus Cunninghamella elegans ATCC36112
Antonie Van Leeuwenhoek. 2023 Oct 16. doi: 10.1007/s10482-023-01894-1. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTTebuconazole is the most widely used fungicide in agriculture. Due to its long half-life, tebuconazole residues can be found in the environment media such as in soil and water bodies. Here, the metabolic pathway of tebuconazole was studied in Cunninghamella elegans (C. elegans). Approximately 98% of tebuconazole was degraded within 7 days, accompanied by the accumulation of five metabolites. The structures of the metabolites were completely or tentatively identified by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and ultra-...
