The diversity and transcription efficiency of GH1 family β-glucosidase genes were investigated in natural and inoculated composts using a DNA clone library and real-time qPCR. Compositional differences were observed in the functional communities between the two composting processes. Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria, Firmicutes, and Chloroflexi were t...

Historically, bacteriologists have relied heavily on biochemical and structural phenotypes for bacterial taxonomic classification. However, advances in comparative genomics have led to greater insights into the remarkable genetic diversity within the microbial world, and even within well-accepted species such as Escherichia coli. The extraordinary ...

Host-associated microbial communities play important roles in wildlife health, but these dynamics can be influenced by environmental factors. Urbanization has numerous effects on wildlife; however, the degree to which wildlife-associated bacterial communities and potential bacterial pathogens vary across urban-rural/native habitat gradients remains...

The screening and studying the lignite solubilization/degradation capacities of indigenous microorganisms are key to exploring the in-situ biotransformation of lignite. Herein, a fungus was isolated from in-situ lignite samples and identified as Fusarium sp. NF01. This isolate was then cultured on four different carbon sources to evaluate its ligni...

The mitochondrial genome of Ophiostoma himal-ulmi, a species endemic to the Western Himalayas and one of the fungi that cause Dutch elm disease, has been sequenced and characterized. The mitochondrial genome was compared with other available genomes for members of the Ophiostomatales, including other agents of Dutch elm disease (Ophiostoma ulmi, Op...

Bacterial resistance has become one of the most serious public health problems, globally, and drug repurposing is being investigated to speed up the identification of effective drugs. The aim of this study was to investigate the repurposing of escitalopram oxalate and clonazepam drugs individually, and in combination with the antibiotics ciprofloxa...

The ability for a soybean plant to be efficiently nodulated when grown as a crop is dependent on the number of effective Bradyrhizobium japonicum that can be found in close proximity to the developing seedling shortly after planting. In Manitoba, the growing of soybean as a crop has increased from less than 500 000 acres in 2008 to over 2.3 million...

Persisters are a form of dormancy in bacteria that provide temporary resistance to antibiotics. The following reports on the formation of Escherichia coli O157:H7 E318 type II persisters from a protracted (8 days) challenge with ampicillin. Escherichia coli O157:H7 followed a multiphasic die-off pattern with an initial rapid decline (Phase I) of su...

Endogenous bacteria are important for maintaining the health and other ecologically relevant functions of cotton plants. However, little is known about the community structures and diversity of endophytic bacteria in cotton plants. In our study, we used the Illumina amplicon sequencing technology to study the endophytic bacteria found in cotton roo...

Vibrio coralliilyticus, a prominent pathogenic bacteria, is known to cause tissue damage in the coral Pocillopora damicornis and is attracted towards the coral via chemotaxis. However, the potential of V. coralliilyticus to infect most of the other coral hosts via chemotaxis is unknown. In this study, we used capillary assays to quantify the chemot...
