TL;DR: A Gram-positive, motile, short-rod-shaped strain, isolated from a forest-soil sample collected from Lijiang, Yunnan Province, China, and was investigated using a polyphasic taxonomic approach represents a novel species of the genus Georgenia, for which the nameGeorgenia ruanii sp.

TL;DR: It is proposed that strain YIM 31775(T) should be classified as representing a novel member of the family 'Oxalobacteraceae', for which the name Naxibacter alkalitolerans gen. nov., sp.

TL;DR: New 16S rRNA signature nucleotide patterns of taxa above the family level are presented and the affiliation of genera to families are indicated and the phylogenetic relationships of Actinobacteria at higher levels may need to be reconstructed.

TL;DR: A high-quality draft genome sequence of moso bamboo (P. heterocycla var. pubescens) has been reported in this article, where the 2.05-Gb assembly covers 95% of the genomic region.

TL;DR: It is shown that life-long calorie restriction on both high-fat or low-fat diet, but not voluntary exercise, significantly changes the overall structure of the gut microbiota of C57BL/6 J mice, suggesting that animals under calorie restriction can establish a structurally balanced architecture of gut microbiota that may exert a health benefit to the host via reduction of antigen load from the gut.
