sp. nov., a new alphaproteobacterium isolated from the slime flux of a tree () in the Sonoran Desert (Arizona, USA).

The bacterial strain PA1-206B is a Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, non-motile and non-spore-forming bacterium with an irregular rod shape. It was isolated from a tree wound exudate of the trunk in the Sonoran Desert (USA), and its taxonomic position was investigated by a polyphasic approach. Strain PA1-206B grew optimally at 28-30 °C and from pH 6 to 10 without NaCl.

Resolving spatiotemporal dynamics in bacterial multicellular populations: approaches and challenges.

SUMMARYThe development of multicellularity represents a key evolutionary transition that is crucial for the emergence of complex life forms. Although multicellularity has traditionally been studied in eukaryotes, it originates in prokaryotes. Coordinated aggregation of individual cells within the confines of a colony results in emerging, higher-level functions that benefit the population as a whole.

gen. nov., sp. nov., a novel oligotrophic bacterium from groundwater.

In this study, a Gram-stain-positive, non-motile, oxidase- and catalase-negative, rod-shaped, bacterial strain (SG_E_30_P1) that formed light yellow colonies was isolated from a groundwater sample of Sztaravoda spring, Hungary. Based on 16S rRNA phylogenetic and phylogenomic analyses, the strain was found to form a distinct linage within the family . Its closest relatives in terms of near full-length 16S rRNA gene sequences are MH299814 (97.

Distribution and impacts of contamination by natural and artificial radionuclides in attic dust and urban soil samples from a former industrial Hungarian city: A case study from Salgótarján.

Primordial radionuclides can be found in all environmental compartments. Since coal-fired power plants (CFPP) can be a source of additional radionuclide contamination because coal contains natural radioactive isotopes such as U (Ra) and Th. This study investigated the impact of such possible radionuclide contamination from former heavy industrial activities, namely a former local coal-fired power plant, in urban soils and attic dust in Salgótarján, Hungary.

Exploring the relationship between metal(loid) contamination rate, physicochemical conditions, and microbial community dynamics in industrially contaminated urban soils.

Increasing metal(loid) contamination in urban soils and its impact on soil microbial community have attracted considerable attention. In the present study, the physicochemical parameters and the effects of twelve metal(loid) pollution on soil microbial diversity, their ecotoxic effects, and human health risk assessment in urban soils with different industrial background were studied in comparison with an unpolluted forest soil sample. Results showed that urban soils were highly contaminated, and metal(loid) contamination significantly influenced structure of the soil microbial communities.

The Impact of Anti-Inflammatory Drugs on the Prokaryotic Community Composition and Selected Bacterial Strains Based on Microcosm Experiments.

Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are increasingly recognized as potential environmental contaminants that may induce toxicity in aquatic ecosystems. This 3-week microcosm experiment explores the acute impacts of NSAIDs, including diclofenac (DCF), ibuprofen (IBU), and acetylsalicylic acid (ASA), on bacterial communities using a wide range of these substances (200-6000 ppm). The results showed that the NSAID-treated microcosms had higher cell count values than control samples, though the diversity of microbial communities decreased.

gen. nov., sp. nov., a motile alkaliphilic bacterium of the family isolated from a soda lake.

A Gram-stain-negative, oxidase- and catalase-positive, rod-shaped, creamy white coloured bacterial strain, DMG-N-6, was isolated from a water sample of Lake Fertő/Neusiedler See (Hungary). Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that the strain forms a distinct linage within the family . Its closest relatives are DJC (96.

gen. nov., sp. nov. a novel alkaliphilic bacterium of the family .

Three Gram-stain-negative, non-motile, oxidase- and catalase-positive, rod-shaped, black, facultative phototrophic bacterial strains, RG-N-1a, DMA-N-7a and RA-N-9 were isolated from the water sample from Lake Fertő/Neusiedler See (Hungary). Phylogenetic analysis based on the 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that the strains form a distinct linage within the family and their closest relatives are K13M18 (96.32%) followed by PAMC 27389 (96.

Whole genome sequence analysis of Cupriavidus campinensis S14E4C, a heavy metal resistant bacterium.

Cupriavidus sp. are model organisms for heavy metal(loid) resistance and aromatic compound's degradation studies and these characteristics make them a perfect candidate for biotechnological purposes. Bacterial strain S14E4C (identified as Cupriavidus campinensis) was isolated from a playground by enrichment method in a 0.

gen. nov., sp. nov. a new member of the family .

The Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, non-motile, oxidase- and catalase-positive, rod-shaped yellow-coloured bacterial strain MG-N-17 was isolated from a water sample of Lake Fertő/Neusiedler See (Hungary). Results of phylogenetic analysis based on the 16S rRNA gene sequence revealed that the strain forms a distinct linage within the family of the phylum , and its closest relatives are DSM 4136 (94.38 %) and DC2a-G7 (91.
