Rothia santali sp. nov., strain AR01^T, was isolated from the hypocotyl tissue of a sandalwood (Santalum album L.) seedling exhibiting stunted and abnormal growth. The sample was collected from an insect-free sandalwood nursery at the Indian Wood Science and Technology (IWST) institute in Bangalore, India. The endophytic bacterium suggests potential roles in promoting plant growth, enhancing stress resistance, or providing biocontrol against pathogens. #ODOG# #Genomics# @DrJitendraSingh @rajesh_gokhale

Natronococcus pandeyae sp. nov., was isolated from the lake sediment of Sambhar Salt Lake, Rajasthan, India by @DBT_NCCS_Pune. The extreme halophilicity and alkaliphilicity of Natronococcus pandeyae suggests applications in #biotechnology# and #environmental# conservation. Its enzymes may be harnessed for #industrial# processes requiring stability under high salt and alkaline conditions, such as in #bioremediation# of saline-alkaline environments or the production of compatible solutes for stress protection in crops. #ODOG# #Genomics# @DrJitendraSingh @rajesh_gokhale

Alkalihalobacterium chitinilyticum sp. nov., was isolated from sediment collected from Lonar Lake, India by @DBT_NCCS_Pune. The ability to degrade complex polysaccharides positions it as a promising candidate for #biotechnological# applications, including chitin #wastetreatment# and biocontrol of phytopathogens. The production of alkaline-stable lipases and proteases suggests use in detergent formulations and other industrial processes requiring #enzymes# that function in high pH environments. #ODOG# #Genomics# @DrJitendraSingh @rajesh_gokhale

Pseudomonas phenolilytica sp. nov. represents a step forward in sustainable waste management and bioremediation efforts, promising a cleaner and greener future. From tackling toxic pollutants to supporting global health initiatives, this novel species symbolizes innovation at the intersection of microbiology and environmental stewardship. #ODOG# #Genomics# #Greengrowth# #Gogreen# #Biomanufacturing# @DrJitendraSingh @rajesh_gokhale @bric_ils

Halopseudomonas maritima sp. nov., a novel aerobic bacterial species isolated from sea sand by @bric_ils . Most notably, this species produces a lipase enzyme of the α/β hydrolase family, exhibiting structural homology to lactonizing lipases. This unique enzyme has significant potential for industrial applications, particularly in biocatalysis and sustainable manufacturing. #ODOG# #Genomics# @DrJitendraSingh @rajesh_gokhale

Glutamicibacter mishrai sp. nov., a remarkable addition to marine #microbiology#. This novel actinobacterium, isolated by @bric_ils from the coral Favia veroni in the Andaman Sea, India, stands as a testament to the diversity and potential of marine ecosystems. Named in honour of the esteemed late Professor Ajit K. Mishra of the Bose Institute, Calcutta, India, a distinguished microbiologist, this discovery pays homage to his enduring legacy in advancing microbiological #research#. #ODOG# #Genomics# #Marine# @DrJitendraSingh @rajesh_gokhale

Moraxella tetraodonis sp. nov. (strain PS-22) isolated from Tetraodon cutcutia skin shows potential for exploring glutathione metabolic pathways. With genes linked to nitrogen and organic substance metabolism, this novel bacterium could provide new insights into antioxidant roles and microbial functions in aquatic environments. @DrJitendraSingh @rajesh_gokhale #Microbiology# #Bacteriology# #GlutathioneMetabolism# #AquaticMicrobes# #GenomicResearch#
