TL;DR: Three Gram-stain-negative, non-motile, rod-shaped strains, designated 72T, NH166T and 40DY170T, were isolated from seawater samples of the West Pacific ocean, South China Sea and West Pacific Ocean and indicated that three new isolates represented three novel species by forming two distinctive lineages within the genus Muricauda.

TL;DR: On the basis of phenotypic, genotypic and chemotaxonomic properties, strain NH-JN4(T) represents a novel species of a new genus in the family Clostridiaceae, for which the name Oceanirhabdus sediminicola gen. nov., sp.

TL;DR: This study explored the biological functions of sulfur assimilation and sulphur-containing amino acids biosynthesis in P. oryzae and found that the defects of the null mutants could be restored by supplementing with exogenous cysteine or methionine.

TL;DR: The complete sequence of the bop gene, including the 5' and 3' flanking regions of the conserved fragment, was obtained by the ligation-mediated PCR amplification (LPA) approach, providing further insight into the distribution of bop-like genes in the family Halobacteriaceae.

TL;DR: The present aerobic cultivable halotolerant bacterial community was successfully applied to large scale removal of organic pollutants in saline wastewater and maintained a stable COD removal at >90% in saturated concentration for 5 years.
