Summary: Two Gram-stain-positive, aerobic, endospore-forming bacterial strains (JJ-7T and JJ-60T) isolated from the rhizosphere of Zea mays were classified as members of the genus Paenibacillus based on 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity comparisons. Both strains represented novel species (Paenibacillus auburnensis sp. nov. and Paenibacillus pseudetheri sp. nov.) within the genus Paenibacillus. Genomic comparisons and polar lipid profiles supported the taxonomic allocation, and physiological and biochemical characteristics further differentiated the strains from closely related species.

Summary: This study assessed the impact of genetically modified crops on soil microbial community structures and found that there was no significant difference between GM and non-GM crops. The level of the transgene in GM soybean plots increased during active growth and then gradually decreased, while in GM hot pepper plots it fluctuated according to the flowering stages.

Summary: This study provides insights into the phylogeny and metabolic potential of the family Halieaceae through genomic analyses of six pure cultured strains. The analyses revealed novel species representation and the presence of previously uncultured subclades. The strains exhibited aerobic chemo- or photoheterotrophic lifestyles, with some possessing genes for proteorhodopsin or aerobic anoxygenic phototrophy. Genes for CO2 fixation and polysaccharide utilization were also detected. These findings expand the phylogenetic and metabolic diversity of Halieaceae and are important for future ecophysiological studies.

Summary: In the post-genomic era, phylogenomics is widely used to discover evolutionary relationships between microorganisms. This study established an up-to-date archaeal core gene set (UACG) for inferring archaeal phylogenomic trees. The UACG tool was found to be consistent with the orthoANIu dendrogram, in contrast to the 16S rRNA gene phylogeny which showed discrepancies. The UACG software tool is available at https://www.ezbiocloud.net/tools/uacg.
