Journal ArticleDOI
Ecological considerations in producing and formulating fungal entomopathogens for use in insect biocontrol
TL;DR: A basic understanding of the surface chemistries of the fungal propagule and insect, the interactions between a fungal propagateule and the insect cuticle that lead to infection, and the impact of the environment on this interaction can aid in the development of effective formulations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bacillus velezensis is not a later heterotypic synonym of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens; Bacillus methylotrophicus, Bacillus amyloliquefaciens subsp. plantarum and ‘Bacillus oryzicola’ are later heterotypic synonyms of Bacillus velezensis based on phylogenomics
TL;DR: The results of morphological, physiological, chemotaxonomic and phylogenetic analyses indicate that the strains share phenotype and genotype coherence.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bacillus velezensis RC 218 as a biocontrol agent to reduce Fusarium head blight and deoxynivalenol accumulation: Genome sequencing and secondary metabolite cluster profiles.
TL;DR: This study represents the first confirmed production of ericin by a B. velezensis strain, which is unique to this strain and shows that the diversity in secondary metabolites of strains in the B. VelezensIS clade is driven by strains making different antibacterials.
Journal ArticleDOI
Insight into the catalytic mechanism of DNA polymerase beta: structures of intermediate complexes.

TL;DR: The results suggest that closing of the fingers subdomain is induced specifically by binding of the metal-dNTP complex prior to binding ofThe catalytic Mg(2+) ion, which has led us to reevaluate previous evidence regarding the existence of a rate-limiting conformational change in Pol beta's reaction pathway.
Journal ArticleDOI
Draconibacterium orientale gen. nov., sp. nov., isolated from two distinct marine environments, and proposal of Draconibacteriaceae fam. nov.
TL;DR: On the basis of physiological and biochemical characteristics, 16S rRNA gene sequences and chemical properties, a novel genus and species, Draconibacterium orientale gen. nov., within the class Bacteroidia, are proposed, with strain FH5T (=DSM 25947T=CICC 10585T) as the type strain.
