Isolation of a novel microplastic-degrading bacterial strain: a promising agent for low-density polyethylene remediation.

This study investigates the biodegradation capabilities of two bacterial strains, Rhodococcus erythropolis and Paenarthrobacter nitroguajacolicus, identifying P. nitroguajacolicus as a novel candidate for its ability to degrade low-density polyethylene (LDPE), a major contributor to plastic pollution. Both strains were isolated from plastic-contaminated environments and cultivated in laboratory conditions with LDPE as the sole carbon source.

Multidrug and Toxic Compound Extrusion Transporters: Ubiquitous Multifaceted Proteins in Microbes, Plants, and Their Interactions.

In recent years, membrane transporters have attracted considerable interest regarding their involvement in the molecular dialogue occurring between microbes and their hosts. In particular, the multidrug and toxic compound extrusion (MATE) transporters form a family of integral membrane proteins, mainly involved in the efflux of toxic and xenobiotic compounds. They are present in all living organisms, both prokaryotes and eukaryotes, where they have a wide array of extremely different roles.

Exploiting Bacterial Pigmentation for Non-Destructive Detection of Seed-Borne Pathogens by Using Photoacoustic Techniques.

Seed-borne pathogens pose a significant threat to global food security. This study focuses on pv. (), a quarantine plant pathogen causing bacterial wilt of common beans.

Innovative Detection of the Quarantine Plant Pathogen Curtobacterium flaccumfaciens pv. flaccumfaciens, Causal Agent of Bacterial Wilt of Leguminous Plants.

Specific, sensitive, and rapid detection of quarantine and regulated plant pathogens is pivotal for the control of the diseases they cause. Here, we describe the PCR-based methods which have been developed for Curtobacterium flaccumfaciens pv. flaccumfaciens (Cff), quarantine plant pathogenic bacterium for EU and causal agent of bacterial wilt of Leguminous plants.
