Abstract
Marine bacteria living in association with marine sponges have proven to be a reliable source of biologically active secondary metabolites. However, no studies have yet reported natural products from Microbacterium testaceum spp. We herein report the isolation of a M. testaceum strain from the sponge Tedania brasiliensis. Molecular networking analysis of bioactive pre-fractionated extracts from culture media of M. testaceum enabled the discovery of testacosides A-D. Analysis of spectroscopic data and chemical derivatizations allowed the identification of testacosides A-D as glycoglycerolipids bearing a 1-[α-glucopyranosyl-(1 → 3)-(α-mannopyranosyl)]-glycerol moiety connected to 12-methyltetradecanoic acid for testacoside A (1), 14-methylpentadecanoic acid for testacoside B (2), and 14-methylhexadecanoic acid for testacosides C (3) and D (4). The absolute configuration of the monosaccharide residues was determined by 1H-NMR analysis of the respective diastereomeric thiazolidine derivatives. This is the first report of natural products isolated from cultures of M. testaceum. KEY POINTS: • The first report of metabolites produced by Microbacterium testaceum. • 1-[α-Glucopyranosyl-(1 → 3)-(α-mannopyranosyl)]-glycerol lipids isolated and identified. • Microbacterium testaceum strain isolated from the sponge Tedania brasiliensis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ralstonia pickettii is a low virulent, gram-negative bacillus that is rarely associated with human infections and may cause bacteremia. Microbacterium species are gram-positive coryneforms that are generally considered as a contaminant in Gram staining of blood cultures, especially when the time to positivity is longer than 48 h. Both these bacterial species are emerging opportunistic pathogens that may occasionally cause serious infections and even life-threatening health conditions. CASE PRESENTATION Here, we report the case of a patient with bacteremia caused by both R. pickettii and Microbacterium. We advocate for providers to order rapid antibiotic susceptibility testing, since our patient's suffered two kinds of rare pathogens with the opposite of drug sensitivity results to imipenem. CONCLUSIONS Our case present a patient suffered septic shock caused by R. pickettii and Microbacterium. Improving the antibiotic management based on the result of antimicrobial susceptibility tests is the key of successful treatment.

Abstract
Two Gram-positive, non-motile, short rod-shaped actinomycete strains, designated as A18JL241T and Y20T, were isolated from deep-sea sediment samples collected from the Southwest Indian Ocean and Western Pacific Ocean, respectively. Both of the isolates were able to grow within the temperature range of 5-40 °C, NaCl concentration range of 0-7 % (w/v) and at pH 6.0-12.0. The two most abundant cellular fatty acids of both strains were anteiso-C15 : 0 and anteiso-C17 : 0. The major polar lipid contents of the two strains were phosphatidylglycerol, diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine and one unidentified glycolipid. These two strains shared common chemotaxonomic features comprising MK-10 and MK-12 as the respiratory quinones. The genomic DNA G+C contents of the two strains were 68.1 and 70.4 mol%, respectively. The 16S rRNA gene phylogeny showed that the novel strains formed two distinct sublines within the genus Microbacterium. Strain A18JL241T was most closely related to the type strain of Microbacterium tenebrionis KCTC 49593T (98.8 % sequence similarity), whereas strain Y20T formed a tight cluster with the type strain of Microbacterium schleiferi NBRC 15075T (99.0 %). The orthologous average nucleotide identity (ANI) and digital DNA-DNA hybridization (dDDH) values with the type strains of related Microbacterium species were in the range of 74.1-89.1 % and 19.4-36.9 %, respectively, which were below the recognized thresholds of 95-96 % ANI and 70 % dDDH for species definition. Based on the results obtained here, it can be concluded that strains A18JL241T and Y20T represent two novel species of the genus Microbacterium, for which the names Microbacterium abyssi sp. nov. (type strain A18JL241T=JCM 33956T=MCCC 1A16622T) and Microbacterium limosum sp. nov. (type strain Y20T=JCM 33960T=MCCC 1A16747T) are proposed.

Abstract
A naturally occurring multispecies bacterial community composed of Bacillus cereus and two novel bacteria (Microbacterium forte sp. nov. and Stenotrophomonas goyi sp. nov.) has been identified from a contaminated culture of the microalga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. When incubated in mannitol- and yeast extract-containing medium, this bacterial community can promote and sustain algal hydrogen production up to 313 mL H2·L-1 for 17 days and 163.5 mL H2·L-1 for 25 days in high-cell (76.7 μg·mL-1 of initial chlorophyll) and low-cell density (10 μg·mL-1 of initial chlorophyll) algal cultures, respectively. In low-cell density algal cultures, hydrogen production was compatible with algal growth (reaching up to 60 μg·mL-1 of chlorophyll). Among the bacterial community, M. forte sp. nov. was the sole responsible for the improvement in hydrogen production. However, algal growth was not observed in the Chlamydomonas-M. forte sp. nov. consortium during hydrogen-producing conditions (hypoxia), suggesting that the presence of B. cereus and S. goyi sp. nov. could be crucial to support the algal growth during hypoxia. Still, under non‑hydrogen producing conditions (aerobiosis) the Chlamydomonas-M. forte sp. nov. consortium allowed algal growth (up to 40 μg·mL-1 of chlorophyll) and long-term algal viability (>45 days). The genome sequence and growth tests of M. forte sp. nov. have revealed that this bacterium is auxotroph for biotin and thiamine and unable to use sulfate as sulfur source; it requires S-reduced forms such as cysteine and methionine. Cocultures of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii and M. forte sp. nov. established a mutualistic association: the alga complemented the nutrient deficiencies of the bacterium, while the bacterium released ammonium (0.19 mM·day-1) and acetic acid (0.15 mM·day-1) for the alga. This work offers a promising avenue for photohydrogen production concomitant with algal biomass generation using nutrients not suitable for mixotrophic algal growth.

Abstract
A plant growth hormone indoleacetic acid-producing strain LX3-4T was isolated from a carrot rhizosphere soil sample collected in Shandong Province, China. It is Gram-stain-positive, non-motile, and has irregular short rod-shaped cells. LX3-4T shared high 16S rRNA gene sequence identity with Microbacterium oleivorans DSM 16091T (99.4%), M. testaceum NBRC 12675T (98.6%), M. marinum DSM 24947T (98.5%), M. resistens NBRC 103078T (98.4%), and M. paraoxydans NBRC 103076T (98.3%). Phylogenetic analysis based on the concatenated gene sequences of 16S rRNA gene, housekeeping genes gryB and rpoB also showed the distinction between strain LX3-4T and other Microbacterium species. Furthermore, analysis of the average nucleotide identities (ANI), the average amino acid identity (AAI), and the digital DNA-DNA hybridization (dDDH) values between strain LX3-4T and its relatives revealed that strain LX3-4T represents a distinct species. The genomic DNA G + C content of the strain is 69.5%. It can grow at 25-37 °C (optimum 37 °C), pH 5.0-10.0 (optimum pH 6.0-8.0), and the range of NaCl concentration is 0-7% (w/v) (optimum 1-5%). The colonies on agar plates are smooth, translucent, and pale yellow. The main cellular fatty acids of strain LX3-4T are anteiso-C15:0, anteiso-C17:0, and iso-C16:0. The predominant respiratory quinones are MK-12 and MK-11. Diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, an unidentified glycolipid, and an unidentified phosphoglycolipid are major polar lipids. The cell-wall sugar of strain LX3-4T is glucose. The cell-wall peptidoglycan contains glycine, alanine, lysine, and glutamic acid. In addition, this strain carries nitrogen fixation genes and can grow in nitrogen-free medium. Based on the polyphasic data, strain LX3-4T represents a novel species of the genus Microbacterium, for which the name Microbacterium dauci sp. nov. is proposed with strain LX3-4T (= CCTCC AB 2023103T = LMG 33159T) designated as the type strain.

Abstract
Three Gram-reaction-positive bacterial strains, designated KSW-18T, KSW2-22, and KSW4-11T, were isolated from seawater, and two dried seaweed samples collected at Gwakji Beach in Jeju, Republic of Korea, respectively, and their taxonomic positions were examined by a polyphasic approach. The 16S rRNA gene phylogeny showed that strain KSW4-11T was tightly associated with Microbacterium oleivorans NBRC 103075T, while strains KSW-18T and KSW2-22 formed a distinctive subline at the base of a clade including the above two strains. The three isolates showed high sequence similarity with one another (99.7-99.9%; 1-4 nt differences) and Microbacterium oleivorans (99.8-99.9%; 1-3 nt differences). The chemotaxonomic features were typical for the genus Microbacterium; Lysine as the diagnostic diamino acid and N-glycolylated muramic acid of the peptidoglycans, the predominant menaquinones of MK-11, MK-10 and MK-12, the major fatty acids of anteiso-C15:0 and anteiso-C17:0, and the major polar lipids including diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, and two or three unidentified glycolipids. In core genome-based phylogenetic tree, strains KSW-18T and KSW2-22 were closely associated with Microbacterium oleivorans NBRC 103075T, while strain KSW4-11T formed a distinctive subline at the base of a clade including the above three strains, in contrast to the 16S rRNA gene tree. Strains KSW-18T and KSW2-22 shared an OrthoANIu of 98.6% and a digital DNA-DNA hybridization of 87.6% with each other, representing that they were strains of a species, while the OrthoANIu and digital DNA-DNA hybridization values between strains KSW-18T and KSW4-11T, and between both of these isolates and all members of the genus Microbacterium were ≤86.5% and ≤30.7%, respectively. The analyses of overall genomic relatedness indices and phenotypic distinctness support that the three isolates represent two new species of the genus Microbacterium. Based on the results obtained here, Microbacterium aquilitoris sp. nov. (type strain KSW-18T = KCTC 49623T = NBRC 115222T) and Microbacterium gwkjiense sp. nov. (type strain KSW4-11T = KACC 23321T = DSM 116380T) are proposed.

Abstract
The deep-sea environment is an extremely difficult habitat for microorganisms to survive in due to its intense hydrostatic pressure. However, the mechanisms by which these organisms adapt to such extreme conditions remain poorly understood. In this study, we investigated the metabolic adaptations of Microbacterium sediminis YLB-01, a cold and stress-tolerant microorganism isolated from deep-sea sediments, in response to high-pressure conditions. YLB-01 cells were cultured at normal atmospheric pressure and 28 ℃ until they reached the stationary growth phase. Subsequently, the cells were exposed to either normal pressure or high pressure (30 MPa) at 4 ℃ for 7 days. Using NMR-based metabolomic and proteomic analyses of YLB-01 cells exposed to high-pressure conditions, we observed significant metabolic changes in several metabolic pathways, including amino acid, carbohydrate, and lipid metabolism. In particular, the high-pressure treatment stimulates cell division and triggers the accumulation of UDP-glucose, a critical factor in cell wall formation. This finding highlights the adaptive strategies used by YLB-01 cells to survive in the challenging high-pressure environments of the deep sea. Specifically, we discovered that YLB-01 cells regulate amino acid metabolism, promote carbohydrate metabolism, enhance cell wall synthesis, and improve cell membrane fluidity in response to high pressure. These adaptive mechanisms play essential roles in supporting the survival and growth of YLB-01 in high-pressure conditions. Our study offers valuable insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying the metabolic adaptation of deep-sea microorganisms to high-pressure environments. KEY POINTS: • NMR-based metabolomic and proteomic analyses were conducted on Microbacterium sediminis YLB-01 to investigate the significant alterations in several metabolic pathways in response to high-pressure treatment. • YLB-01 cells used adaptive strategies (such as regulated amino acid metabolism, promoted carbohydrate metabolism, enhanced cell wall synthesis, and improved cell membrane fluidity) to survive in the challenging high-pressure environment of the deep sea. • High-pressure treatment stimulated cell division and triggered the accumulation of UDP-glucose, a critical factor in cell wall formation, in Microbacterium sediminis YLB-01 cells.

Abstract
The oceans harbour a myriad of unknown micro-organisms that remain unstudied because of a failure to establish the right growth conditions under laboratory conditions. To overcome this limitation, an isolation effort inspired by the iChip was performed using marine sediments from Memória beach, Portugal. A novel strain, PMIC_1C1BT, was obtained and subjected to a polyphasic study. Cells of strain PMIC_1C1BT were Gram-positive, rod-shaped, divided by binary fission and formed colonies that were shiny light-yellow. Based on its full 16S rRNA gene sequence, strain PMIC_1C1BT was phylogenetically associated to the genus Microbacterium and its closest relatives were Microbacterium aurum KACC 15219T (98.55 %), Microbacterium diaminobutyricum RZ63T (98.48 %) and Microbacterium hatanonis JCM 14558T (98.13 %). Strain PMIC_1C1BT had a genome size of 2 761 607 bp with 67.71 mol% of G+C content and 2582 coding sequences, which is lower than the genus average. Strain PMIC_1C1BT grew from 15 to 30 °C, optimally at 25 °C, at pH 6.0 to 11.0, optimally between pH 6.0 and 8.0, and from 0 to 5 % (w/v) NaCl, optimally between 2.0 and 3.0 %. It grew with casamino acids, glutamine, methionine, N-acetylglucosamine, sodium nitrate, tryptophan, urea and valine as sole nitrogen sources, and arabinose and cellobiose as sole carbon sources. The major cellular fatty acids were anteiso-C15 : 0, iso-C16 : 0 and iso-C17 : 0. Genome mining revealed the presence of four biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) with low similarities to other known BCGs. Based on the polyphasic data, strain PMIC_1C1BT is proposed to represent a novel species, for which the name Microbacterium memoriense sp. nov. (=CECT 30366T=LMG 32350T) is proposed.

Abstract
IMPORTANCE As the management of wheat fungal diseases becomes increasingly challenging, the use of bacterial agents with biocontrol potential against the two major wheat phytopathogens, Fusarium graminearum and Zymoseptoria tritici, may prove to be an interesting alternative to conventional pest management. Here, we have shown that dimethylpolysulfide volatiles are ubiquitously and predominantly produced by wheat-associated Microbacterium and Arthrobacter actinomycetes, displaying antifungal activity against both pathogens. By limiting pathogen growth and DON virulence factor production, the use of such DMPS-producing strains as soil biocontrol inoculants could limit the supply of pathogen inocula in soil and plant residues, providing an attractive alternative to dimethyldisulfide fumigant, which has many non-targeted toxicities. Notably, this study demonstrates the importance of bacterial volatile organic compound uptake by inhibited F. graminearum, providing new insights for the study of volatiles-mediated toxicity mechanisms within bacteria-fungus signaling crosstalk.

Abstract
Growing interest in the manufacture of extended shelf-life (ESL) milk, which is typically achieved by a high-temperature treatment called ultra-pasteurization (UP), is driven by distribution challenges, efforts to reduce food waste, and more. Even though high-temperature, short-time (HTST) pasteurized milk has a substantially shorter shelf life than UP milk, HTST milk is preferred in the United States because consumers tend to perceive UP milk as less desirable due to the "cooked" flavor associated with high-temperature processing. While ESL beyond 21 d may be possible for HTST, the survival and outgrowth of psychrotolerant aerobic spore-forming bacteria can still be a limitation to extending shelf life of HTST milk. Microfiltration (MF) is effective for reducing vegetative microorganisms and spores in raw milk, but it is unclear what the effects of membrane pore size, storage temperature, and milk type (i.e., skim vs. whole) are on the microbial shelf life of milk processed by both MF and HTST pasteurization. To investigate these factors, raw skim milk was MF using different pore sizes (0.8 or 1.2 μm), and then MF skim milk and standardized whole milk (MF skim with heat-treated [85°C for 20 s] cream) were HTST pasteurized at 75°C for 20 s. Subsequently, milk was stored at 3°C, 6.5°C, or 10°C and total bacteria counts were measured for up to 63 d. An ANOVA indicated that mean bacterial concentrations between storage temperatures were significantly different from each other, with mean maximum observed concentrations of 3.67, 5.33, and 8.08 log10 cfu/mL for storage temperatures 3°C, 6.5°C, and 10°C, respectively. Additionally, a smaller difference in mean maximum bacterial concentrations throughout shelf life was identified between pore sizes (<1 log cfu/mL), but no significant difference was attributed to milk type. An unexpected outcome of this study was the identification of Microbacterium as a major contributor to the bacterial population in MF ESL milk. Microbacterium is a psychrotolerant, thermoduric gram-positive, non-spore-forming rod with a small cell size (∼0.9 μm length and ∼0.3 μm width), which our data suggest was able to permeate the membranes used in this study, survive HTST pasteurization, and then grow at refrigeration temperatures. While spores continue to be a key concern for the manufacture of MF, ESL milk, our study demonstrates the importance of other psychrotolerant, thermoduric bacteria such as Microbacterium to these products.

Abstract
Two novel plant growth-promoting, rod-shaped, Gram-positive and non-motile rhizobacteria, W1NT and W2RT, were isolated from wetland plants Festuca elata and Nymphoides peltatum, respectively, in China. The results of the 16S rRNA sequence alignment analysis showed that they were related to Microbacterium, with the highest similarity to Microbacterium ketosireducens (98.7 %) and Microbacterium laevaniformans (98.5 %) for strain W1NT, and to Microbacterium terricola (98.1 %) and Microbacterium marinum (98.0 %) for strain W2RT. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences and 92 conserved concatenated proteins suggested that the two strains belong to the genus Microbacterium and were placed in two separate novel phylogenetic clades. The genome sizes of the two strains were 3.2 and 3.7 Mb, and the G+C contents were 71.7 and 68.5 mol%, respectively. The comparative genome results showed that the average nucleotide identity values between W1NT and W2RT and other species ranged from 73.5 to 83.6 %, and the digital DNA-DNA hybridization values ranged from 19.7 to 26.8 %. These two strains show physiological and biochemical features that differ from those of closely related species. Rhamnose, galactose and glucose were present in the characteristic sugar fractions of strains W1NT and W2RT. The peptidoglycan of strains W1NT and W2RT contained the amino acids ornithine, alanine and aspartic acid. C15 : 0 anteiso, C17 : 0 anteiso and C16 : 0 iso were the predominant cellular fatty acids in W1NT and W2RT. Phosphatidylglycerol and diphosphatidylglycerol are major polar lipid components. Strain W1NT not only formed bacterial biofilms but also had the ability to solubilize phosphorus and produce indole-3-acetic acid. Strain W2RT had siderophore-producing and lignin-degrading properties. Based on their genetic and phenotypic characteristics, strains W1NT and W2RT were classified as novel bacteria in the genus Microbacterium and designated as Microbacterium festucae sp. nov. (type strain W1NT=ACCC 61807T=GDMCC 1.2966T=JCM 35339T) and Microbacterium nymphoidis sp. nov. (type strain W2RT=ACCC 61808T=GDMCC 1.2967T=JCM 35340T).

Abstract
Dextranase, also known as glucanase, is a hydrolase enzyme that cleaves α-1,6 glycosidic bonds. In this study, a dextranase-producing strain was isolated from water samples of the Qingdao Sea and identified as Microbacterium sp. This strain was further evaluated for growth conditions, enzyme-producing conditions, enzymatic properties, and hydrolysates. Yeast extract and sodium chloride were found to be the most suitable carbon and nitrogen sources for strain growth, while sucrose and ammonium sodium were found to be suitable carbon and nitrogen sources for fermentation. The optimal pH was 7.5, with a culture temperature of 40 °C and a culture time of 48 h. Dextranase produced by strain XD05 showed good thermal stability at 40 °C by retaining more than 70% relative enzyme activity. The pH stability of the enzyme was better under a weak alkaline condition (pH 6.0-8.0). The addition of NH4+ increased dextranase activity, while Co2+ and Mn2+ had slight inhibitory effects on dextranase activity. In addition, high-performance liquid chromatography showed that dextran is mainly hydrolyzed to maltoheptanose, maltohexanose, maltopentose, and maltootriose. Moreover, it can form corn porous starch. Dextranase can be used in various fields, such as food, medicine, chemical industry, cosmetics, and agriculture.

Abstract
Agar oligosaccharides are thought to be valuable biomolecules with high bioactivity potential, along with a wide range of applications and advantages. The current study aimed to optimize the culture parameters required to produce agarase enzyme and agar oligosaccharides from industrial waste agar. Microbacterium spp. strain SS5 was isolated from a non-marine source and could synthesize oligo derivatives for use in a variety of industries ranging from food to pharmaceuticals. In addition, the strain and culture conditions were optimized to maximize extracellular agarase production. The bacterium grew best at pH 5.0 - 9.0, with an optimal pH of 7.5 - 8.0; temperatures ranging from 25 to 45 °C, with an optimal of 35 °C; and carbon and nitrogen concentrations of 0.5% each. Plackett-Burman experimental design and response surface methods were used to optimize various process parameters for agarase production by Microbacterium spp. strain SS5. Using the Plackett-Burman experimental design, eleven process factors were screened, and agar, beef extract, CaCl2, and beginning pH were found as the most significant independent variables affecting agarase production with confidence levels above 90%. To determine the optimal concentrations of the identified process factors on agarase production, the Box- Behnken design was used. Agarase production by Microbacterium spp. strain SS5 after optimization was 0.272 U/mL, which was determined to be greater than the result obtained from the basal medium (0.132 U/mL) before screening using Plackett-Burman and BBD with a fold increase of 2.06.

Abstract
Four Gram-positive, aerobic, catalase- and oxidase-negative, rod-shaped, motile endophytic bacterial strains, designated NM3R9T, NE1TT3, NE2TL11 and NE2HP2T, were isolated from the inner tissues (leaf and stem) of Sphaeralcea angustifolia and roots of Prosopis laevigata. They were characterized using a polyphasic approach, which revealed that they represent two novel Microbacterium species. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequencing showed that the species closest to NE2HP2T was Microbacterium arborescens DSM 20754T (99.6 %) and that closest to NM3R9T, NE2TL11 and NE2TT3 was Microbacterium oleivorans NBRC 103075T (97.4 %). The whole-genome average nucleotide identity value between strain NM3R9T and Microbacterium imperiale DSM 20530T was 90.91 %, and that between strain NE2HP2T and M. arborecens DSM 20754T was 91.03 %. Digital DNA-DNA hybridization showed values of less than 70 % with the type strains of related species. The polar lipids present in both strains included diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, glycolipids and unidentified lipids, whereas the major fatty acids included anteiso-C15 : 0, anteiso-C17 : 0, iso-C16 : 0 and C16 : 0. Whole-cell sugars included mannose, rhamnose and galactose. Strains NM3R9T and NE2HP2T showed physiological characteristics different from those present in closely related Microbacterium species. According to the taxonomic analysis, both strains belong to two novel species. The name Microbacterium plantarum sp. nov. is proposed for strain NE2HP2T (=LMG 30875T=CCBAU 101117T) and Microbacterium thalli sp. nov. for strains NM3R9T (=LMG 30873T=CCBAU 101116T), NE1TT3 (=CCBAU 101114) and NE2TL11 (=CCBAU 101115).

Abstract
Environmental estrogen contamination poses severe threat to wildlife and human. Biodegradation is an efficient strategy to remove the wide-spread natural estrogen, while strains suitable for hostile environments and fit for practical application are rare. In this work, Microbacterium hominis SJTG1 was isolated and identified with high degrading efficiency for 17β-estradiol (E2) and great environment fitness. It could degrade nearly 100% of 10 mg/L E2 in minimal medium in 6 days, and remove 93% of 1 mg/L E2 and 74% of 10 mg/L E2 in the simulated E2-polluted solid soil in 10 days. It maintained stable E2-degrading efficiency in various harsh conditions like non-neutral pH, high salinity, stress of heavy metals and surfactants. Genome mining and comparative genome analysis revealed that there are multiple genes potentially associated with steroid degradation in strain SJTG1. One 3β/17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase HSD-G129 induced by E2 catalyzed the 3β/17β-dehydrogenation of E2 and other steroids efficiently. The transcription of hsd-G129 gene was negatively regulated by the adjacent LysR-type transcriptional regulator LysR-G128, through specific binding to the conserved site. E2 can release this binding and initiate the degradation process. This work provides an efficient and adaptive E2-degrading strain and promotes the biodegrading mechanism study and actual remediation application.

Abstract
Due to the ecotoxicity of 17β-estradiol (E2), residual E2 in the environment poses potential risks to human and animal health and ecosystems. Biodegradation is considered one of the most effective strategies to remove E2 from the environment. Here, a novel, efficient E2-degrading bacterial strain Microbacterium resistens MZT7 was isolated from activated sludge and characterized. The genome of strain MZT7 contained 4,011,347 bp nucleotides with 71.26% G + C content and 3785 coding genes. There was 86.7% transformation efficiency of 10 mg/L E2 by strain MZT7 after incubation for 5 d at optimal temperature (30 °C) and pH (7.0). This strain was highly tolerant to ranges in pH (5.0-11.0), temperature (20-40 °C), and salinity (2-8%). Adding sources of carbon (glucose, maltose, sucrose, or lactose) or nitrogen sources (urea, peptone, or beef extract) promoted the degradation of E2 by strain MZT7. However, when yeast extract was added as a nitrogen source, the degradation efficiency of E2 was inhibited. Metabolites were analyzed by LC-MS and three metabolic pathways of E2 degradation were proposed. Further, the intermediates dehydroepiandrosterone and androsta-1,4-diene-3,17-dione were detected, as well as identification of kshB and fadD3 genes by KEGG, confirming one E2 degradation pathway. This study provided some insights into E2 biodegradation.

Abstract
Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) is one of the most harmful mycotoxins, raising serious global health and economic problems. Searching for biological approaches for effective and safe AFB1 degradation is imminent. In our study, Microbacterium proteolyticum B204 isolated from bovine faeces degraded 77% of AFB1 after 24 h, becoming the first reported bacteria from the Microbacterium family to possess AFB1 degradation characteristics. Temperature variation showed little effect on its degradation ratio, demonstrating high thermostability of 75% and 79% after boiling and sterilization, respectively. We suppose that the components playing a key role during this process were proteins, considering the decreased degradation rate caused by Proteinase K. Cell viability detection on HepG2 cells indicated that the degradation products were much less toxic than pure AFB1. Furthermore, B204 cell-free culture supernatant also degraded AFB1-contaminated food, such as peanuts, corn and cheese. These results suggested that this strain with AFB1 degradation properties could be a prospective candidate for application in the food and feed industries.

Abstract
The enzymatic pathway of xanthan depolymerization has been predicted previously; however, the β-glucosidase and unsaturated glucuronyl hydrolase in this system have not been cloned and characterized. This lack of knowledge hinders rational modification of xanthan and exploration of new applications. In this work, we report on the properties of Mibgl3, a xanthan-degrading enzyme isolated from Microbacterium sp. XT11. Mibgl3 exhibits typical structural features of the GH3 family but shares low sequence identity with reported GH3 enzymes. The activity of Mibgl3 can be inhibited by Cu2+, Fe2+, Zn2+, and glucose. Unlike most β-glucosidases, Mibgl3 can tolerate a wide pH range and is activated by high concentrations of NaCl. This improves the commercial value of Mibgl3. In particular, Mibgl3 exhibits higher substrate specificity toward oligoxanthan than other β-glucosidases. Ion chromatography, ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS), and GC-MS results showed that Mibgl3 could effectively hydrolyze oligoxanthan to release glucose and glucuronate. Therefore, Mibgl3 might play an important role in xanthan depolymerization by functioning as hydrolase of both the xanthan backbone and sidechains. This knowledge of the enzymatic properties and hydrolysis mechanism of a β-glucosidase will be beneficial for future applications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) release volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which promote plant growth. RESULTS A potential PGPR strain GX14001 was isolated from marine samples, and the VOCs produced by GX14001 significantly promoted tobacco (Nicotiana benthamiana) growth in a plate experiment. Based on 16S rRNA sequence alignment and physiological and biochemical characterization, GX14001 was identified as Microbacterium aurantiacum. Comparative transcriptome analysis was conducted between GX14001 VOCs-treated tobacco and the control; it was found that 1286 genes were upregulated and 1088 genes were downregulated. Gene ontology (GO) analysis showed that upregulated genes were involved in three biological processes: polysaccharide metabolic, polysaccharide catabolic and carbohydrate metabolic. The downregulated genes were involved in six biological processes, namely cell redox homeostasis, cellular homeostasis, carbohydrate metabolic process, homeostatic process, obsolete electron transport, and regulation of biological quality. Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes (KEGG) pathway analysis showed that 190 upregulated differentially expressed genes were mainly involved in plant hormone signal transduction, phenylpropyl biosynthesis, plant-pathogen interaction, and flavonoid biosynthesis. The 148 downregulated differentially expressed genes were mainly involved in plant hormone signal transduction and the metabolism of ascorbic, aldehyde, and pyruvate acids. Further analysis revealed that many genes were differentially expressed in the metabolic pathways of plant hormone signals, which were speculated to be the main reason why GX14001 VOCs promoted tobacco growth. To further study its regulatory mechanism, we found that GX14001 promoted plant growth through auxin, salicylic acid, and gibberellin in Arabidopsis mutant experiments. CONCLUSION The VOCs produced by Microbacterium aurantiacum GX14001 may promote the growth of tobacco through the auxin, salicylic acid and gibberellin pathways.

Abstract
Lytic and lysogenic infections are the main strategies used by viruses to interact with microbial hosts. The genetic information of prophages provides insights into the nature of phages and their potential influences on hosts. Here, the siphovirus vB_MoxS-R1 was induced from a Microbacterium strain isolated from an estuarine Synechococcus culture. vB_MoxS-R1 has a high replication capability, with an estimated burst size of 2000 virions per cell. vB_MoxS-R1 represents a novel phage genus-based genomic analysis. Six transcriptional regulator (TR) genes were predicted in the vB_MoxS-R1 genome. Four of these TR genes are involved in stress responses, virulence and amino acid transportation in bacteria, suggesting that they may play roles in regulating the host cell metabolism in response to external environmental changes. A glycerophosphodiester phosphodiesterase gene related to phosphorus acquisition was also identified in the vB_MoxS-R1 genome. The presence of six TR genes and the phosphorus-acquisition gene suggests that prophage vB_MoxS-R1 has the potential to influence survival and adaptation of its host during lysogeny. Possession of four endonuclease genes in the prophage genome suggests that vB_MoxS-R1 is likely involved in DNA recombination or gene conversion and further influences host evolution.

Abstract
Downy mildew is one of the most serious diseases of Papaver somniferum. Endophytes isolated from different parts of P. somniferum were screened for their ability to enhance resistance against downy mildew caused by the obligate biotrophic oomycete Peronospora meconopsidis. Two endophytes (SMR1 and SMR2) reduced the downy mildew on three P. somniferum genotypes (Sampada, J-16, and I-14). SMR1 (Microbacterium sp.) also enhanced the resistance of P. somniferum against downy mildew under field conditions. The biochemical markers of plant susceptibility under biotic stresses (proline and malondialdehyde) were found to be reduced in P. somniferum upon SMR1 treatment. To understand the mechanisms underlying the enhanced resistance to downy mildew in SMR1 endophyte-treated P. somniferum genotype J-16, we compared the expression profiles using the next-generation RNA sequencing approach between P. somniferum pretreated with SMR1 and untreated endophyte-free control plants following exposure to downy mildew pathogen. Comparative transcriptome analysis revealed differential expression of transcripts belonging to broad classes of signal transduction, protein modification, disease/defense proteins, transcription factors, and phytohormones in SMR1-primed P. somniferum after infection with downy mildew pathogen. Furthermore, enhanced salicylic acid content was observed in SMR1-primed P. somniferum after exposure to downy mildew pathogen. This study sheds light on molecular mechanisms underlying enhanced resistance to downy mildew in SMR1-primed P. somniferum. Finally, we propose that the SA-dependent defense pathway, the hallmark of systemic acquired resistance, is activated in SMR1-primed P. somniferum, triggering the endophyte-induced resistance.

Abstract
The strain which degraded steviol glycosides to steviol (STE) was screened and isolated from soil samples. A phylogenetic tree was constructed and used to determine the taxonomic status of the strain. 16S rDNA sequence was ultimately used to identify the strain as Microbacterium barkeri XJ. The transformation product was detected and identified as STE by HPLC/LC-MS/IR analysis. The bioconversion rate of 1% (v/v) steviol glycosides (stevioside, rebaudioside A, rebaudioside C) into STE in basic medium were 100% within 24 h, 84 h and 144 h, respectively. The results indicated XJ was more effective than mixed flora in the bioconversion of steviol glycosides to STE.

Abstract
Dichloromethane (DCM) is a volatile halogenated hydrocarbon with teratogenic, mutagenic and carcinogenic effects. Biodegradation is generally regarded as an effective and economical approach of pollutant disposal. In this study, a novel strain was isolated and its cytochrome P450 was heterologously expressed for DCM degradation. The isolate, Microbacterium keratanolyticum ZY, was characterized as a Gram-positive, rod-shaped and flagella-existed bacterium without spores (GenBank No. SUB8814364; CCTCC M 2019953). After successive whole-genome sequencing, assembly and annotation, eight identified functional genes (encoding cytochrome P450, monooxygenase, dehalogenase and hydrolase) were successfully cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3). The recombinant strain expressing cytochrome P450 presented the highest degradation efficiency (90.6%). Moreover, the specific activity of the recombinant cytochrome P450 was more than 1.2 times that of the recombinant dehalogenase (from Methylobacterium rhodesianum H13) under their optimum conditions. The kinetics of DCM degradation by recombinant cytochrome P450 was well fitted with the Haldane model and the value of maximum specific degradation rate was determined to be 0.7 s-1. The DCM degradation might occur through successive hydroxylation, dehydrohalogenation, dechlorination and oxidation to generate gem-halohydrin, formyl chloride, formaldehyde and formic acid. The study helps to comprehensively understand the DCM dechlorination process under the actions of bacterial functional enzymes (cytochrome P450 and dehalogenase).

Abstract
Fullerenol nanoparticles were found to significantly modulate the gut microbiota and selectively enrich the short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) production by adjusting the gut microbacteria in mice models. In this research, we screened the C. butyricum from seven strains and investigated the interactions and mechanism between the C. butyricum and fullerenol NPs in vitro fermentation. The results shows that fullerenol NPs increased the amounts of acetate and butyrate of C. butyricum without significant bacteria growth in the complete medium. The activities of the butyryl-CoA: acetate CoA transferase (BUT), which are the main pathway to produce butyrate, were reduced while the activities of the butyrate kinase (BUK) were enhanced simultaneously. Surprisingly, fullerenol NPs promoted the growth of C. butyricum and L. lactis in low glucose medium, but they could not be direct carbon source in the culture. Moreover, when cocultured with C. butyricum and the bifidobacterial strains in fullerenols, the biomass and acetate production of C. butyricum were markedly increased while butyrate was decreased significantly.

Abstract
In the present study, a fixed-film bioscrubber (FFBS) of BTEX-degrading bacterium Microbacterium esteraromaticum SBS1-7 with 'AQUAPOROUSGEL® or APG' supporting material was continuously fed with toluene- or styrene-contaminated gas stream for 172 days. Response Surface Methodology (RSM) was used to optimize the biofilm formation on APG as well as the toluene biodegradation in mineral salt medium (MM). The results suggested that 1000 ppm of yeast extract (YE) was necessary for biofilm formation of SBS1-7. The optimized combination of YE and toluene concentration exhibiting the highest biofilm formation and toluene removal was further employed in an up-scale FFBS operation. The maximum Elimination Capacity (ECmax) of 203 g·m-3·h-1 was obtained at the toluene Inlet Loading Rate (ILR) of 295 g·m-3·h-1. FFBS of SBS1-7 was able to withstand a 5-day shutdown and required only 24 h to recover. Moreover, when the inlet Volatile Organic Compound was shifted to styrene, FFBS required only 24 h for adaptation and the system was able to efficiently remove ~95% of styrene after that. Finally, the performance of the bioscrubber when operated in 2 different modes of operation (FFBS vs Biotricking Filter or BTF) were compared. This study evidently demonstrated the robustness and stability of FFBS with M. esteraromaticum SBS1-7.

Abstract
In this study, two cadmium-tolerant endophytic bacteria (Microbacterium sp. D2-2 and Bacillus sp. C9-3) were employed as biosorbents to remove Cd(II) from aqueous solutions. The influence of initial pH, initial Cd(II) concentration, adsorbent biomass, temperature and contact time on Cd(II) removal were investigated. Results showed that the Langmuir isotherms were found to best fit the equilibrium data, and the maximum biosorption capacities were found to be 222.22 and 163.93 mg/g at a solution pH of 5.0 for Microbacterium sp. D2-2 and Bacillus sp. C9-3, respectively. The biosorption kinetics followed well pseudo-second-order kinetics. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopic analysis suggested that the hydroxyl, carboxyl, carbonyl and amino groups on Microbacterium sp. D2-2 and Bacillus sp. C9-3 biomass were the main binding sites for Cd(II). The results presented in this study showed that Microbacterium sp. D2-2 and Bacillus sp. C9-3 are potential and promising adsorbents for the effective removal of Cd(II) from aqueous solutions.

Abstract
Poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) is a major source of plastic pollution. Biodegradation technologies are of paramount interest in reducing or recycling PET waste. In particular, a synergistic microbe-enzyme treatment may prove to be a promising approach. In this study, a synergistic system composed of Microbacterium oleivorans JWG-G2 and Thermobifida fusca cutinase (referred to as TfC) was employed to degrade bis(hydroxyethyl) terephthalate (BHET) oligomers and a high crystalline PET film. A novel degradation product that was obtained by M. oleivorans JWG-G2 treatment alone was identified as ethylene glycol terephthalate (EGT). With the addition of TfC as a second biocatalyst, the highest synergy degrees for BHET oligomers and PET film degradation were 2.79 and 2.26, respectively. The largest amounts of terephthalic acid (TPA) and mono(2-hydroxyethyl) terephthalate (MHET) (47 nM and 330 nM, respectively) were detected after combined treatment of PET film with M. oleivorans JWG-G2 at 5 × 103 μL/cm2 and TfC at 120 μg/cm2, and the degree of PET film surface destruction was more significant than those produced by each treatment alone. The presence of extracellular PET hydrolases in M. oleivorans JWG-G2, including three carboxylesterases, an esterase and a lipase, was predicted by whole genome sequencing analysis, and a predicted PET degradation pathway was proposed for the synergistic microbe-enzyme treatment. The results indicated that synergistic microbe-enzyme treatment may serve as a potentially promising tool for the future development of effective PET degradation. KEY POINTS: • An ecofriendly synergistic microbe-enzyme PET degradation system operating at room temperature was first introduced for degrading PET. • A novel product (EGT) was first identified during PET degradation. • Potential PET hydrolases in M. oleivorans JWG-G2 were predicted by whole genome sequencing analysis.

Abstract
This study reveals out detoxifying and antioxidant enzyme response of Gammarus pulex exposed/polluted to chlorpyrifos-ethyl insecticide before and after biodegradation/bioremediation by Methylobacterium radiotolerans and Microbacterium arthrosphaerae. Cytochrome P450 1A1, glutathione S-transferase, catalase, and superoxide dismutase activities in G. pulex exposed to chlorpyrifos-ethyl before and after bioremediation/biodegradation by these two bacteria during 24 and 96 h tested by using commercial ELISA kits. The activity of catalase enzyme was decreased depending on chlorpyrifos-ethyl before and after bioremediation/biodegradation the enzyme activity was increased repeatedly. Superoxide dismutase activity level increased after chlorpyrifos-ethyl exposure in 96 h (p > 0.05). Following bioremediation, superoxide dismutase enzyme activity decreased again during 24 h (p > 0.05) and increased during 96 h (p < 0.05). Statistical differences were not found in cytochrome P450 1A1 enzyme activity before and after the process (p > 0.05). No significant differences were determined during the activity of glutathione S-transferase in 24 h (p > 0.05). The activities of glutathione S-transferase were increased after exposure of chlorpyrifos-ethyl during 96 h. After bioremediation; the activity of glutathione S-transferase increased even more (p < 0.05). The results determined that activities of G. pulex at superoxide dismutase, catalase, and glutathione S-transferase are common biomarkers for revealing out the efficiency of bioremediation of chlorpyrifos-ethyl with these two types of soil bacteria.

Abstract
The related microbial metabolomics on biological recovery of manganese (Mn) from Electrolytic Manganese Slag (EMS) has not been studied. This study aimed at open the door to the metabolic characteristics of microorganisms in leaching Mn from EMS by using waste molasses (WM) as carbon source. Results show Microbacterium trichothecenolyticum Y1 (Y1) could effectively leach Mn from EMS in combination with using waste molasses as carbon and energy sources. For the first time, Y1 was identified to be capable of generating and then metabolizing several organic acids or other organic matter (e.g., fumaric acid, succinic acid, malic acid, glyoxylic acid, 3-hydroxybutyric acid, glutaric acid, L(+)-tartaric acid, citric acid, tetrahydrofolic acid, and L-methionine). The production of organic acids by Y1 bacteria was promoted by EMS with the carbon source. This study demonstrated for the first time that metabolic characteristics and carbon source metabolic pathways of Y1 in bioleaching of Mn from EMS.

Abstract
Heavy metal acclimated bacteria are profoundly the preferred choice for bioremediation studies. Bacteria get acclimated to toxic concentrations of heavy metals by induction of specific enzymes and genetic selection favoring new metabolic abilities leading to activation of one or several of resistance mechanisms creating bacterial populations with differences in resistance profile and/or level. Therefore, to use in bioremediation processes, it is important to discriminate acclimated bacterial populations and choose a more resistant strain. In this study, we discriminated heavy metal acclimated bacteria by using Attenuated Total Reflectance Fourier Transform Infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectroscopy and multivariate analysis methods namely Hierarchical Cluster Analysis (HCA), Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Soft Independent Modeling of Class Analogy (SIMCA). Two acclimation methods, acute and gradual, were used which cause differences in molecular changes resulting in bacterial populations with different molecular and resistance profiles. Brevundimonas sp., Gordonia sp., and Microbacterium oxydans were exposed to the toxic concentrations of Cd (30 μg/ml) or Pb (90 μg/ml) by using broth medium as a growth media. Our results revealed that PCA and HCA clearly discriminated the acute-acclimated, gradual-acclimated, and control bacteria from each other in protein, carbohydrate, and whole spectral regions. Furthermore, we classified acclimated (acute and gradual) and control bacteria more accurately by using SIMCA with 99.9% confidence. This study demonstrated that heavy metal acclimated and control group bacteria can be discriminated by using chemometric analysis of FTIR spectra in a powerful, cost-effective, and handy way. In addition to the determination of the most appropriate acclimation procedure, this approach can be used in the detection of the most resistant bacterial strains to be used in bioremediation studies.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to investigate biosurfactant production ability of five different polyaromatic hydrocarbon (PAH)-metabolizing bacteria, such as Ochrobactrum anthropi IITR07, Pseudomonas mendocina IITR46, Microbacterium esteraromaticum IITR47, Pseudomonas aeruginosa IITR48, and Stenotrophomonas maltophilia IITR87. These bacteria showed biosurfactant production using 2% glucose as rich substrate; strain IITR47 yielded the highest with 906 and 534 mg/L biosurfactant in the presence of naphthalene and crude oil as the unique carbon sources. P. aeruginosa IITR48 showed the least surface tension at 29 N/m and the highest emulsification index at 63%. The biosurfactants produced were identified as glycolipid and rhamnolipid based on Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy analysis. In particular, the biosurfactant produced by bacteria S. maltophilia IITR87 efficiently emulsified mustard oil with an E24 value of 56%. It was observed that, all five biosurfactants from these degrader strains removed 2.4-, 1.7-, 0.9-, 3.8-, and 8.3-fold, respectively, crude oil from contaminated cotton cloth. Rhamnolipid derived from IITR87 was most efficient, exhibiting highest desorption of crude oil. These biosurfactants exhibited good stability without significantly losing its emulsification ability under extreme conditions, thus can be employed for bioremediation of PAHs from diverse contaminated ecosystem.

Abstract
Fenamiphos is a neurotoxic organophosphorus pesticide used widely to control pests of crops. Fenamiphos and its toxic oxidation products have been detected in surface and groundwaters. A novel enzyme capable of hydrolysing P-O-C bond of fenamiphos is purified from Microbacterium esteraromaticum MM1 total cellular protein using a combination of methods. The purified fenamiphos hydrolysing enzyme (FHE) was identified as enolase (phosphopyruvate hydratase), a housekeeping enzyme with molecular mass and pI value of 45 kDa and 4.5, respectively. The optimum pH and temperature for the activity of the FHE are 7 and 25 °C, respectively. We studied the influence of metal ions and inhibitors on the enzyme activity. The enzyme was strongly activated by Mg2+ whereas Hg2+ and phenylmethyl sulfonyl fluoride (PMSF) inhibited the enzyme. The kinetic parameters, Km and Vmax for fenamiphos hydrolysis were estimated to be 584.15 ± 16.22 μM and 6.46 ± 0.13 μM min-1, respectively. The FHE was functionally active against its original substrate (2-phosphoglycerate) with Km value of 5.82 ± 1.42 μM and Vmax of 4.2 ± 0.1 μM min-1. This enzyme has great potential for its application in the detoxification of fenamiphos and its warfare homologs. To our knowledge, this is the first report on the purification of fenamiphos hydrolysing enzyme.

Abstract
In the current manuscript, we explored the remediation potential of Hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX) by Gram-positive Microbacterium esteraromaticum 12849. The strain detoxified 70.9 and 63.93% RDX in minimal nutrient medium and soil, respectively. Subsequently, the strain 12849 was formulated in form of water-dispersible granules (WDG) using talcum powder and alginic acid as inert ingredients. During the microcosm study, WDG exhibited 8.98% enhanced RDX degradation in contrast to the unformulated Microbacterium esteraromaticum. The LC-MS analysis revealed the presence of two intermediates, namely N-methyl-N, N'-dinitromethanediamine, and methylenedintramine, during the RDX degradation by strain 12849 in soil. Interestingly, no significant difference was observed in the rate of RDX degradation by strain 12849 due to the formulation process. The first-order kinetics was seen in RDX degradation with a degradation coefficient of 0.04 and 0.0339 day-1 by formulated and unformulated strain, respectively. The current investigation implies M. esteraromaticum as a potential microbe for RDX degradation and opens up the possibility of exploiting it in its effective WDG form for explosive contaminated sites.

The strains were isolated using culture-dependent methods, identified through 16S rDNA gene sequencing, and characterized with respect to their functional traits related to plant growth promotion and resistance to metals and antibiotics. The bioremediation capacity of the rhizobacteria was determined in greenhouse using corn plants. The isolated bacteria belonged to the phyla Actinobacteria, Deinococcus-Thermus, Firmicutes, and Proteobacteria, with great abundance of the species Microbacterium trichothecenolyticum. The rhizobacteria abundance, richness, and diversity were greater in mercury-contaminated soils. Bacteria isolated from contaminated environments had higher minimum inhibitory concentration values, presented plasmids and the merA gene, and were multi-resistant to metals and antibiotics. Enterobacter sp._C35 and M. trichothecenolyticum_C34 significantly improved (Dunnett's test, p < 0.05) corn plant growth in mercury-contaminated soil. These bacteria helped to reduce up to 87% of the mercury content in the soil, and increased the mercury bioaccumulation factor by up to 94%. Mercury bioremediation mitigated toxicity of the contaminated substrate. Enterobacter sp._C35, Bacillus megaterium_C28, and Bacillus mycoides_C1 stimulated corn plant growth and could be added to biofertilizers produced in research and related industries.

Abstract
CASE DESCRIPTION Five workers (2 males and 3 females) employed in a furniture factory located in eastern Poland developed hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP) after the pine wood used for furniture production was replaced by birch wood. All of them reported onset of respiratory and general symptoms (cough, shortness of breath, general malaise) after inhalation exposure to birch dust, showed crackles at auscultation, ground-glass attenuations in HRCT examination, and lymphocytosis in the BAL examination. The diagnosis of acute HP was set in 4 persons and the diagnosis of subacute HP in one. IDENTIFICATION OF SPECIFIC ALLERGEN Samples of birch wood associated with evoking disease symptoms were subjected to microbiological analysis with the conventional and molecular methods. Two bacterial isolates were found to occur in large quantities (of the order 108 CFU/g) in examined samples: Gram-negative bacterium of the species Pantoea agglomerans and a non-filamentous Gram-positive actinobacterium of the species Microbacterium barkeri. In the test for inhibition of leukocyte migration, 4 out of 5 examined patients showed a positive reaction in the presence of P. agglomerans and 2 in the presence of M. barkeri. Only one person showed the presence of precipitins to P. agglomerans and none to M. barkeri. In the inhalation challenge, which is the most relevant allergological test in the HP diagnostics, all patients reacted positively to P. agglomerans and only one to M. barkeri. The results indicate that P. agglomerans developing in birch wood was the main agent causing HP in the workers exposed to the inhalation of dust from this wood, while the etiologic role of M. barkeri is probably secondary. CONCLUSION The results demonstrate that apart from fungi and filamentous actinobacteria, regarded until recently as causative agents of HP in woodworkers, Gram-negative bacteria and non-filamentous actinobacteria may also elicit disease symptoms in the workers processing wood infected with large amounts of these microorganisms. The results obtained also seem to indicate that cellular-mediated reactions are more significant for causing disease symptoms compared to those that are precipitin-mediated.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The soybean cyst nematode Heterodera glycines (Ichinohe) is the most devastating pathogen affecting soybean production worldwide. Biocontrol agents have become eco-friendly candidates to control pathogens. The aim of this study was to discover novel biocontrol agents against H. glycines. RESULTS Microbacterium maritypicum Sneb159, screened from 804 strains, effectively reduced the number of females in field experiments conducted in 2014 and 2015. The stability and efficiency of H. glycines control by Sneb159 was further assessed in growth chamber and field experiments. Sneb159 decreased H. glycines population densities, especially the number of females by 43.9%-67.7%. To confirm Sneb159 induced plant resistance, a split-root assay was conducted. Sneb159 induced local and systemic resistance to suppress the penetration and development of H. glycines, and enhanced the gene expression of PR2, PR3b, and JAZ1, involved in the salicylic acid and jasmonic acid pathways. CONCLUSION This is the first report of M. maritypicum Sneb159 suppressing H. glycines infection. This effect may be the result of Sneb159-induced resistance. Our study indicates that M. maritypicum Sneb159 is a promising biocontrol agent against H. glycines. © 2019 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
Microbes in indoor environments are constantly being exposed to antimicrobial surface finishes. Many are rendered non-viable after spending extended periods of time under low-moisture, low-nutrient surface conditions, regardless of whether those surfaces have been amended with antimicrobial chemicals. However, some microorganisms remain viable even after prolonged exposure to these hostile conditions. Work with specific model pathogens makes it difficult to draw general conclusions about how chemical and physical properties of surfaces affect microbes. Here, we explore the survival of a synthetic community of non-model microorganisms isolated from built environments following exposure to three chemically and physically distinct surface finishes. Our findings demonstrated the differences in bacterial survival associated with three chemically and physically distinct materials. Alkaline clay surfaces select for an alkaliphilic bacterium, Kocuria rosea, whereas acidic mold-resistant paint favors Bacillus timonensis, a Gram-negative spore-forming bacterium that also survives on antimicrobial surfaces after 24 hours of exposure. Additionally, antibiotic-resistant Pantoea allii did not exhibit prolonged retention on antimicrobial surfaces. Our controlled microcosm experiment integrates measurement of indoor chemistry and microbiology to elucidate the complex biochemical interactions that influence the indoor microbiome.

Abstract
Poly-β-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) depolymerase is known to decompose PHB, biodegradable polymers and therefore has great commercial significance in the bioplastic sector. However, reports on PHB depolymerases from isolates obtained from plastic-contaminated sites that reflect the potential of the source organism is scarce. In this study, we evaluated the production of extracellular PHB depolymerase from Microbacterium paraoxydans RZS6 isolated from the plastic-contaminated site in the municipal area of Shahada, Maharashtra, India, for the first time. The isolate was identified using 16S rRNA gene sequencing, gas chromatographic analysis of fatty acid methyl esters (GC-FAME), and BIOLOG method. Ithydrolyzed PHB on minimal salt medium (MSM) containing PHB as the only source of carbon. The isolate produced PHB depolymerase at 45°C during 48 h of incubation. The enzyme was purified most efficiently using octyl-sepharose CL-4B column, with the highest purification yield of 6.675 Umg-1mL-1. The activity of the enzyme was enhanced in the presence of Ca2+ and Mg2+ ions but inhibited by Fe2+ (1 mM) ions and mercaptoethanol (1000 rpm). the nzyme kinetic analysis revealed that the enzyme was a metalloenzyme; requiring Mg2+ ions, that showed optimum enzyme activity at 30°C (mesophilic) and under neutrophilic (pH 7) conditions. Scale-up from the shake-flask level to a laboratory-scale bioreactor further enhanced the enzyme yield by 0.809 UmL-1. The molecular weight of the enzyme (40 kDa), as estimated by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, closely resembled the PHB depolymerase of Aureobacterium saperdae. Our findings highlighted the applicability of M. paraoxydans as a producer of extracellular PHB depolymerase having potential of degrading PHB under diverse conditions.
