Summary: A novel actinobacterium strain SF1(T) was isolated from the rhizosphere soil of a star fruit plant in Bangkok, Thailand. Through morphological, chemotaxonomic, and phylogenetic analysis, it was classified in the genus Actinomycetospora. The strain showed aerobic, Gram-positive, and non-motile characteristics, with growth occurring in a wide range of temperature, pH, and salt concentrations. The 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain SF1(T) had high similarity to other Actinomycetospora strains. Genome sequencing revealed the size and G+C content of the strain's genome. Based on chemotaxonomic, phylogenetic, phenotypic, and genomic evidence, strain SF1(T) represents a novel species in the genus Actinomycetospora.

Summary: This study reports the role of linalool, a natural monoterpenoid, in regulating gene expression in Chromobacterium violaceum through quorum sensing (QS) inhibition. The results show that linalool can control bacterial growth by inhibiting the expression of QS genes, and exhibits higher survival rates in infections.

Summary: Hermetia illucens larvae, also known as black soldier fly larvae (BSFL), are efficient in converting organic waste into high-quality biomass. This study explored the role of gut microbes in this process by culturing members of the core gut microbiota. Two cultivation strategies were employed, dilution-to-extinction cultivation and direct plating, resulting in the isolation of a diverse range of bacterial strains. Phylogenetic analysis identified predominant genera, such as Providencia, Proteus, Morganella, Enterococcus, Bacillus, and members of the family Enterobacteriaceae, which have been previously associated with the BSFL gut microbiota. Genomic fingerprinting provided insights into the genetic diversity of the cultured bacteria that could not be obtained solely through 16S rRNA gene sequencing.

Summary: Leptospirosis is an underestimated infectious tropical disease that is often misdiagnosed. Laboratory tests for diagnosis are crucial but time-consuming, and currently available techniques cannot detect the disease at an early stage. Therefore, there is a need for the development of rapid and affordable diagnostic methods.

Summary: Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic pathogen with a complex quorum sensing system involving multiple signals and receptors to regulate virulence. This study used computational approaches to investigate the interactions between different types of N-acyl-homoserine-lactones (AHLs) produced by P. aeruginosa and the LasR and RhlR receptors. Molecular docking analysis and molecular dynamics simulations revealed the binding affinity and stability of various AHLs towards LasR and RhlR proteins. The findings provide potential targets for the development of anti-quorum sensing drugs against Las/Rhl QS systems.

Summary: Integrating genomic information into microbial systematics allows for reliable prokaryotic classification. In silico chemotaxonomic analysis is being introduced to replace traditional laboratory methods for characterizing taxa, increasing speed and accuracy of taxonomic reports. Genomics has already played a role in taxonomic rearrangement, highlighting the need for revisiting taxonomy in light of new genomic data.

Summary: Radiotherapy has an influence on the diversity and composition of the oral microbiome in patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). OSCC patients have a reduced species richness and altered microbial composition compared to controls. Significant shifts in the oral microbiome composition occur after six months of radiation therapy, including increased beneficial taxa and reduced pathogenic bacteria.

Summary: The study confirmed the importance of detecting sphingomyelinase in the urine of leptospirosis patients as a potential diagnostic biomarker. The unique secretion of sphingomyelinase in the urine of leptospirosis patients, compared to other febrile illnesses like dengue, malaria, and scrub typhus, provides evidence for its diagnostic value.

Summary: Hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) is a severe birth complication that can result in death or severe disabilities for newborns. Traditional clinical and biochemical indicators are not always accurate in assessing the severity and recovery of brain injury in HIE neonates. This study aims to identify specific proteins as biomarkers for predicting the severity of neonatal asphyxia and monitoring disease progression to reduce mortality and neurodevelopmental impairment.
