Differential distribution and abundance of diazotrophic bacterial communities across different soil niches using a gene‐targeted clone library approach
Abstract
Diazotrophs are key players of the globally important biogeochemical nitrogen cycle, having a significant role in maintaining ecosystem sustainability. Saline soils are pristine and unexplored habitats representing intriguing ecosystems expected to harbour potential diazotrophs capable of adapting in extreme conditions, and these implicated organisms are largely obscure. Differential occurrence of diazotrophs was studied by the nifH gene‐targeted clone library approach. Four nifH gene clone libraries were constructed from different soil niches, that is saline soils (low and high salinity; EC 3.8 and 7.1 ds m...

Bacterial differentiation, development, and disease: mechanisms for survival
Abstract
Bacteria have the exquisite ability to maintain a precise diameter, cell length, and shape. The dimensions of bacteria size and shape are a classical metric in the distinction of bacterial species. Much of what we know about the particular morphology of any given species is the result of investigations of planktonic cultures. As we explore deeper into the natural habitats of bacteria, it is increasingly clear that bacteria can alter their morphology in response to the environment in which they reside. Specific morphologies are also becoming recognized as advantageous for survival in hostile environments. This is o...

Rapid and sensitive detection of Listeria monocytogenes by cross priming amplification of lmo0733 gene
This study reports the development of single cross priming amplification (S‐CPA) and double CPA (D‐CPA) assays targeting species‐specific gene lmo0733 for identifying L. monocytogenes strains. The CPA assays were performed at a constant temperature 64°C using seven specific primers and evaluated for specificity and sensitivity. The color change of positive amplification was directly observed by Loopamp Fluorescent Detection Reagent (FD) and the DNA products were visualized as a ladder‐like banding pattern on 2.5% gel electrophoresis. Moreover, the positive reactions were also detected by real‐time measurement of...

The genome of a clinical Klebsiella variicola strain reveals virulence‐associated traits and a pl9‐like plasmid
We report the draft genome sequence of a Brazilian clinical isolate (Bz19) of the recently recognized species Klebsiella variicola. The comparison of Bz19 genome content with the At‐22 (environmental K. variicola) and several clinical Klebsiella pneumoniae shows that these species share a set of virulence‐associated determinants. Of note, this K. variicola strain harbours a plasmid‐like element that shares the same backbone present in a multidrug‐resistant plasmid found in a clinical K. pneumoniae isolated in USA.
This manuscript reports the genome sequence of a clinical Klebsiella variicola isolate, and its co...

Production of carotenoids by Arthrobacter arilaitensis strains isolated from smear‐ripened cheeses
This study investigated the occurrence of pigment synthesis among A. arilaitensis strains in several aspects covering (i) UV‐Vis absorption spectra and HPLC chromatograms of pigment extracts, (ii) diversity of pigment production among strains, (iii) influence of light on the production of pigment and (iv) kinetic of pigment synthesis. Based on absorption spectra and HPLC analysis, the 14 A. arilaitensis strains studied could be divided into 2 groups depending on their ability to produce carotenoids, carotenoid‐producing and non‐pigmented strains. The methanolic extracts prepared from 8 carotenoid‐producing strains ...
