TL;DR: A polyphasic taxonomic study was conducted to clarify the relationships of eight isolates from root nodules of Mimosa species and one isolate from sputum of a cystic fibrosis patient, which classified as a novel Ralstonia species, for which the name RAlstonia taiwanensis sp.

TL;DR: A Clostridium butyricum strain, isolated from hydrogen-producing sewage sludge, was examined for its ability to produce H 2 from sucrose-based medium under different medium composition, pH, and carbon substrate concentration, suggesting that substrate inhibition may occur.

TL;DR: Findings suggest that beta-rhizobia evolved from diazotrophs through multiple lateral nod gene transfers, strongly supporting the hypothesis of the unique origin of common nod genes.

TL;DR: Initial analyses of genome sequences have suggested that plant-associated Burkholderia spp.

TL;DR: This study aimed to achieve higher CO(2) consumption ability and lipid productivity of an indigenous microalgal isolate Scenedesmus obliquus CNW-N by a two-stage cultivation strategy, which is superior to the results from most of the related studies.
