Metagenomic assembled dataset of potentially polyethylene terephthalate-degrading microcosms enriched from seawater, cow dung, and landfill soil

mycolabadmin

Scientists have created a database of 99 microbial genomes collected from seawater, cow manure, and landfill soil that can potentially break down polyethylene terephthalate (PET), the plastic used in bottles and clothing. These microorganisms were grown in laboratory experiments for 180 days using PET as their only food source. The research provides valuable information about which bacteria and archaea might help solve plastic pollution problems through natural biodegradation.

Efficient Copper Biosorption by Rossellomorea sp. ZC255: Strain Characterization, Kinetic–Equilibrium Analysis, and Genomic Perspectives

mycolabadmin

Scientists found that a bacterium called Rossellomorea sp. ZC255 can efficiently remove copper pollution from water. The strain works best at neutral pH and room temperature, achieving a removal capacity of 253.4 mg of copper per gram of bacterial biomass. By studying the bacteria’s structure and genes, researchers discovered that the removal happens through both surface binding and internal accumulation mechanisms, making it a promising eco-friendly solution for treating polluted water.

Draft genome sequence of three Glaciozyma watsonii strains isolated from near the Syowa station area, East Antarctica

mycolabadmin

Scientists have sequenced the genetic code of three strains of a special cold-loving yeast called Glaciozyma watsonii found in East Antarctica. This yeast can grow in extremely cold conditions, even at temperatures below freezing, which is remarkable. Understanding its genome may help scientists develop new medicines and discover enzymes that work in cold conditions.
