Nocardia mangyaensis NH1: A Biofertilizer Candidate with Tolerance to Pesticides, Heavy Metals and Antibiotics

mycolabadmin

Scientists studied a soil bacterium called Nocardia mangyaensis NH1 as a potential natural fertilizer for farms. The bacteria can survive exposure to common pesticides and heavy metals in contaminated soils, making it useful for sustainable agriculture. It has few antibiotic resistance genes, which is important for preventing the spread of resistant bacteria, and its genome is relatively stable and lacks harmful genes, making it safe for agricultural use.

Insights on Anabaena sp. PCC 7120 Responses to HCH Isomers: Tolerance, Degradation, and Dynamics on Potential lin Genes Expression

mycolabadmin

This research examined how a type of cyanobacteria called Anabaena can help clean up contaminated areas by breaking down different forms of a harmful pesticide called HCH. The scientists found that Anabaena handles some forms of HCH better than others, completely eliminating certain types while only partially breaking down others. This discovery suggests that Anabaena could potentially be used in environmental cleanup projects to remove HCH pollution from water and soil.
