ABSTRACT: A new genus Paramaribius gen. nov. with a new moderately halophilic species isolated from the surface of a polyethylene microplastic particle after incubation in a marine aquaria system
Project description:Salicibibacter kimchii gen. nov., sp. nov., a moderately halophilic and alkalitolerant bacterium in the family Bacillaceae, isolated from kimchi
Project description:The freshwater mussel Dreissena bugensis was exposed for nine days to different microplastic particles, in detail, to three petroleum-based polymers (polyamide (PA), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polystyrene (PS)), to one bio-based polymer (polylactic acid (PLA)) and to ground mussel shells (MS), serving as a natural particle control (size range: 20-75 µm;1000 p ml-1). Behavior endpoints were analyzed with hall sensor based real-time valvometry. Additionally, biochemical alterations of ROS detoxifying enzymes were analyzed, and a proteomic profiling on digestive gland tissue was performed.
Project description:Zafaria cholistanensis gen. nov. sp. nov., a moderately thermotolerant and halotolerant actinobacterium isolated from Cholistan desert soil of Pakistan
