A Review on Nano-Approaches Against Periodontitis Treatment

Periodontitis is a provocative condition of the secretions that destroys the alveolar bone, the formation of periodontal pockets, and the degeneration of periodontal ligaments. WHO estimates that between 10 and 15 percent of people worldwide have severe periodontitis. The development of a wide variety of microflora, particularly anaerobes, in the compartments, the release of toxins and enzymes, and the stimulation of the body's immune system are the causes of the disease. Periodontitis was effectively treated using a variety of local or systemic methods. Currently, site-specific delivery, low dose requirements, bypassing first-pass metabolism, a reduction in gastrointestinal side effects, and other factors make the controlled local drug delivery approach preferable to the general approach because it primarily focuses on improving therapeutic outcomes. It offers a safe and efficient way of therapy overall, which improves patient compliance. Various surgical and mechanical procedures completely failed to eradicate the areas' germs. Numerous polymer-based delivery methods, including fibers, films, chips, strips, microparticles, nanoparticles, and nanofibers manufactured from various natural and synthetic materials, have been investigated to successfully transport various medications. These solutions have good mucoadhesion qualities, are Fill the pockets, have high retention at the target site, and are biocompatible and biodegradable. The study gives a general summary of all the different periodontitis targeted delivery systems that are now available and being created.

Core to Skin Temperature Gradient in Septic Shock Patients and its Impact on Mortality: A Review

Sepsis is a life-threatening organ dysfunction resulting from a dysregulated host response to infection, consistentwith the Sepsis-5 consensus definition. Septic shock should be defined as a subtype of sepsis in which particularlysevere circulatory, cellular, and metabolic abnormalities are associated with a higher mortality risk than sepsisalone. Infection-induced release of bacterial toxins, inflammatory mediators, cytokines, and vasoactive substancesincreases capillary permeability and leads to extensive plasma leakage, resulting in insufficient effective circulatingblood volume and microcirculatory dysfunction., can cause electrolyte imbalances, acidosis, and other changes inthe internal environment. Septic shock is associated with alterations in peripheral blood flow, and core-to-skintemperature gradients depend on cutaneous blood flow and microcirculatory function. Infrared thermography isa non-invasive technique that uses an infrared camera to record the infrared radiation emitted by the body, fromwhich temperature is derived. We, therefore, hypothesized that high core-to-skin temperature gradients correlatewith septic shock and mortality.

Plastic Pollution and its Impact on Environment

Beginning around 1950 to 2021, about 6.3 billion tons of plastics have been delivered around the world, out of which only 9% is reused, individually. Human population increment is eventually related to the increasing use of plastic. Plastic items are answerable for consistent expansion in the development of plastic. We have surveyed in this paper, the most important written works on the various sorts of plastics underway, the negative impacts of these constituents to air, water, soil, organic entities and human wellbeing viz-a-viz the different removal technique. Papers that revealed ecological and general wellbeing impacts of plastic looked in to assortments of plastic utilized in the creation of numerous consumable items including clinical gadgets, food bundling and water bottles containing harmful synthetic substances like phthalates, weighty metals, and Nonyl phenol. Yearly 8 million tons of plastic is delivered into the sea, prompting corruption of marine living space which at last influences amphibian life forms and creates health hazards. The increased usage of plastic and plastic items when exposed to high temperatures leads to the release of toxins into food items and water.

Antibiotic treatment for infection with Shiga toxin producing Escherichia coli infection inducing a hemolytic uremic syndrome

Background: Shiga toxin producing Escherichia coli (STEC) inducing hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) with multiple organ involvement is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. The treatment has mostly been focused on kidney, respiratory and cardiovascular supports and not against the bacteria that cause STEC-HUS. The use of bactericidal therapy has been shown to be antibiotic dependent and certain antibiotics inhibit the production and release of Shiga toxin, eradicate STEC without harmful effects, and improve outcome. Methods: A previously healthy 18-months-old girl with STEC causing severe colitis, kidney failure and multi-organ dysfunction was treated with antibiotics that were known to inhibit the release of Shiga toxin as a supplement to supportive care. Results: The antibiotic regime stopped the pathophysiological process with prompt clinical improvement in association with the disappearance of the Shiga toxins. Conclusions: The present case report fortifies and recommends appropriate antibiotic treatment during STEC-HUS, suggesting clinicians to consider the use of these in severe STEC-HUS as early as possible.

Ocular Lesions in Brucella Infection: A Review of the Literature.

Ocular lesions due to Brucella infection are uncommon and easily overlooked in clinical management, but must be differentiated from non-infectious eye diseases and treated promptly to protect the patient's vision. We reviewed the relevant literature and identified 47 patients with ocular complications of Brucella infection. Among them, 28 showed ocular neuropathy, 15 presented with uveitis, and four patients displayed other ocular symptoms. Ocular symptoms accompanying Brucella infection require prompt diagnosis and treatment. The main methods of diagnosis are intraocular fluid tests and blood tests. Early diagnosis and treatment with suitable antibiotics are central to protecting the patient's vision. Notably, in terms of mechanism of injury, Brucella infection is chronic and cannot be eliminated by phagocytes, and can cause damage to the eye by inducing autoimmune reactions, antigen-antibody complex production, release of endogenous and exogenous toxins, and bacterial production of septic thrombi in the tissues. In this review, we summarize the ocular symptoms, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of Brucella infection, and discuss the mechanisms of Brucella in ocular lesions, providing a reference for the diagnosis and treatment of Brucella ocular lesions.

Chitosan loaded RNA polymerase inhibitor nanoparticles increased attenuation in toxin release from Streptococcus pneumonia

BackgroundMultidrug-resistant (MDR) bacterial infections have become an emerging health concern around the world. Antibiotics resistance amongS. pneumoniaestrains increased recently contributing to increase in incidence of pneumococcal infection.This necessitates the discovery of novel antipnemococcal such as compound C3-005 which target the interaction betweenRNA polymerase and σ factors. Chitosan nanoparticles (CNPs) exhibited antibacterial activity including S. pneumonia. Therefore, the aims of the current investigation were to formulate CNPs loaded with C3-005 and characteristic their antimicrobial properties againstS. pneumonia. MethodsThe CNPs and C3-005 loaded CNPs were produced utilizing ionic gelation method, and their physicochemical characteristics including particle size, zeta potential, polydispersity index (PDI), encapsulation efficiency (EE%), and in vitro release profile were studied. Both differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) were used for chemical characterization. The synthesized NPs' minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) was determined using killing assay and broth dilution method, and their impact on bacteria induced hemolysis were also studied. ResultsThe NPs encapsulating C3-005 were successfully prepared with particle size of 343.5 nm ± 1.3, zeta potential of 29.8 ± 0.37, and PDI of 0.20 ± 0.03. 70 % of C3-005 were encapsulated in CNPs and sustained release pattern of C3-005 from CNPs was revealed by an in vitro release study. CNPs containing C3-005 exhibited higher antipnomcoccal activity with MIC50 of 30 µg/ml when compared with C3-005 and empty CNPs alone. The prepared C3-CNPs showed a reduction of bacterial hemolysis in a concentration-related (dependent) manner and was higher than C3-005 alone. ConclusionsThe findings of this study showed the potential for using C3-005 loaded CNPs to treat pneumococcal infection.

Dissecting the invasion of Galleria mellonella by Yersinia enterocolitica reveals metabolic adaptations and a role of a phage lysis cassette in insect killing.

The human pathogen Yersinia enterocolitica strain W22703 is characterized by its toxicity towards invertebrates that requires the insecticidal toxin complex (Tc) proteins encoded by the pathogenicity island Tc-PAIYe. Molecular and pathophysiological details of insect larvae infection and killing by this pathogen, however, have not been dissected. Here, we applied oral infection of Galleria mellonella (Greater wax moth) larvae to study the colonisation, proliferation, tissue invasion, and killing activity of W22703. We demonstrated that this strain is strongly toxic towards the larvae, in which they proliferate by more than three orders of magnitude within six days post infection. Deletion mutants of the genes tcaA and tccC were atoxic for the insect. W22703 ΔtccC, in contrast to W22703 ΔtcaA, initially proliferated before being eliminated from the host, thus confirming TcaA as membrane-binding Tc subunit and TccC as cell toxin. Time course experiments revealed a Tc-dependent infection process starting with midgut colonisation that is followed by invasion of the hemolymph where the pathogen elicits morphological changes of hemocytes and strongly proliferates. The in vivo transcriptome of strain W22703 shows that the pathogen undergoes a drastic reprogramming of central cell functions and gains access to numerous carbohydrate and amino acid resources within the insect. Strikingly, a mutant lacking a phage-related holin/endolysin (HE) cassette, which is located within Tc-PAIYe, resembled the phenotypes of W22703 ΔtcaA, suggesting that this dual lysis cassette may be an example of a phage-related function that has been adapted for the release of a bacterial toxin.

Layered Double Hydroxide-Bismuth Molybdate Hybrids toward Water Remediation via Selective Adsorption of Anionic Species.

The steady release of anthropogenic toxins into the biosphere is compromising water security globally. Herein, CoAl layered double hydroxide, a clay-like layered material with a cationic surface charge, was organically modified and used to template the growth of Bi2MoO6. The resulting nanohybrid selectively removed the anionic dye methyl orange from aqueous solution and showed an enhancement of greater than 300% in the maximum adsorptivity (1.95 mmol/g) compared to modified CoAl layered double hydroxide (0.42 mmol/g). Interestingly, the observed improvement in adsorption occurs without any significant increase in the surface area of the hybrids. Furthermore, these hybrids exhibit increased broadband visible light absorption, and their photoactivity is slightly improved compared to CoAl layered double hydroxide. This study demonstrates that composites of clay-like materials with Aurivillius oxides are promising sorbent materials for water decontamination and photocatalytic antifouling membranes and shows that the synthetic strategy that was first established with an anionic layered silicate nanoclay can be generalized to other ionic layered materials.

Brevibacillus laterosporus as a Natural Biological Control Agent of Soil-Dwelling Nematodes

The nematocidal potential of an entomopathogenic strain of Brevibacillus laterosporus previously known for its antimicrobial properties was assessed on the free-living nematode microworm Panagrellus redivivus and the root-knot nematode Meloidogyne incognita. Laboratory bioassays showed significant nematocidal properties of the culture supernatant of the bacterium, achieving over 90% mortality of both microworms and M. incognita juveniles when the supernatant was collected at the sporulation phase, which related to the progressive production and release of virulence factors and toxins in the culture medium at this stage of bacterial growth. A protein fraction obtained by precipitation from the bacterial culture supernatant was found to be very active against nematodes with a concentration-dependent effect and an LC50 value of 0.4 µg/µL on M. incognita. Bacterial preparations based on either spores or a culture supernatant proved to be effective in reducing M. incognita density in treated compared with untreated soil, which makes the use of B. laterosporus as a biological control agent of soil-dwelling nematode pests particularly promising.

Apyrase decreases phage induction and Shiga toxin release from E. coli O157:H7 and has a protective effect during infection

ABSTRACT Shiga toxin (Stx)-producing enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) cause gastrointestinal infection and, in severe cases, hemolytic uremic syndrome which may lead to death. There is, to-date, no therapy for this infection. Stx induces ATP release from host cells and ATP signaling mediates its cytotoxic effects. Apyrase cleaves and neutralizes ATP and its effect on Stx and EHEC infection was therefore investigated. Apyrase decreased bacterial RecA and dose-dependently decreased toxin release from E. coli O157:H7 in vitro, demonstrated by reduced phage DNA and protein levels. The effect was investigated in a mouse model of E. coli O157:H7 infection. BALB/c mice infected with Stx2-producing E. coli O157:H7 were treated with apyrase intraperitoneally, on days 0 and 2 post-infection, and monitored for 11 days. Apyrase-treated mice developed disease two days later than untreated mice. Untreated infected mice lost significantly more weight than those treated with apyrase. Apyrase-treated mice exhibited less colonic goblet cell depletion and apoptotic cells, as well as lower fecal ATP and Stx2, compared to untreated mice. Apyrase also decreased platelet aggregation induced by co-incubation of human platelet-rich-plasma with Stx2 and E. coli O157 lipopolysaccharide in the presence of collagen. Thus, apyrase had multiple protective effects, reducing RecA levels, stx2 and toxin release from EHEC, reducing fecal Stx2 and protecting mouse intestinal cells, as well as decreasing platelet activation, and could thereby delay the development of disease.

Stability and bifurcation analysis of a phytoplankton-zooplankton-fish model involving fear in zooplankton species and fish harvesting

ABSTRACT In this paper, a predator–prey model that takes into account the interactions between three species of fish, zooplankton, and phytoplankton has been developed. The logistic growth of phytoplankton has been considered in the absence of zooplankton. It is assumed that zooplankton eats phytoplankton. It is considered that the growth rate of zooplankton decreases due to the fear of fish. The release of toxins by phytoplankton and fish consumption are two further factors that are assumed to decrease the growth rate of zooplankton. The harvesting of fish has also been considered in this study. Local and global stability of the system around the equilibrium points has been investigated. The existence condition of oscillatory behaviour of the system has been studied through Hopf bifurcation. It is found that the increasing rate of minimum cost of fear may stabilize the system. It is obtained that the rate of increase of release of toxin substance by phytoplankton may be responsible for the stability of the system. It is also found that the system may become unstable for the increase of level of fear of zooplankton. Some numerical simulation results are presented to test the theoretical findings.

Unravelling biodegradation and toxin release kinetics of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate)-based biocomposites in a simulated rumen environment: A preliminary study

The development of completely digestible rumino-reticulum devices (RRDs) able to slowly release natural toxins in bovine rumen has been proposed to be a sustainable strategy to control Pimelea poisoning among graving cattle caused by toxic grasses endemic in Australia. Three pioneer biocomposites were extruded from the plant particles of the toxic plant Pimelea trichostachya and the biodegradable biopolymer poly-3-hydroxybutyrate-co-1 mol% 3-hydroxyvalerate (PHBV), with or without sucrose and starch as pore forming agents. To understand the biodegradation and toxin release mechanisms of these emerging materials in a rumen environment, these biocomposites were incubated, along with pristine PHBV as reference, in an in vitro anaerobic bioreactor simulating the rumen fermentation process. It was shown that surface erosion was the dominant pattern of biodegradation for all the biocomposites, through a series of comprehensive analyses on micro- and macroscopic scales. X-ray computed tomography scanning (μ-CT) observations and the biodegradation kinetic modelling results confirmed that porogen leaching introduced more interior surface areas but did not accelerate the biodegradation rate significantly. Competing phenomena of toxin adsorption and release from the biocomposites were also revealed. This study not only provided guidance in further tailoring the toxin release behaviours and assessing the end-of-life of these biocomposites, but could also be beneficial for constructing PHBV based-RRDs with other purposes.

Bacteriospermia - A formidable player in male subfertility.

Bacterial colonization of male reproductive tissues, cells, and fluids, and the subsequent impact of bacteria on the sperm architecture, activity, and fertilizing potential, has recently gained increased attention from the medical and scientific community. Current evidence strongly emphasizes the fact that the presence of bacteria in semen may have dire consequences on the resulting male fertility. Nevertheless, the molecular basis underlying bacteriospermia-associated suboptimal semen quality is sophisticated, multifactorial, and still needs further understanding. Bacterial adhesion and subsequent sperm agglutination and immobilization represent the most direct pathway of sperm–bacterial interactions. Furthermore, the release of bacterial toxins and leukocytic infiltration, associated with a massive outburst of reactive oxygen species, have been repeatedly associated with sperm dysfunction in bacteria-infested semen. This review serves as a summary of the present knowledge on bacteriospermia-associated male subfertility. Furthermore, we strived to outline the currently available methods for assessing bacterial profiles in semen and to outline the most promising strategies for the prevention and/or management of bacteriospermia in practice.

Microbiota and Oral Cancer as A Complex and Dynamic Microenvironment: A Narrative Review from Etiology to Prognosis.

A complex balanced equilibrium of the bacterial ecosystems exists in the oral cavity that can be altered by tobacco smoking, psychological stressors, bad dietary habit, and chronic periodontitis. Oral dysbiosis can promote the onset and progression of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) through the release of toxins and bacterial metabolites, stimulating local and systemic inflammation, and altering the host immune response. During the process of carcinogenesis, the composition of the bacterial community changes qualitatively and quantitatively. Bacterial profiles are characterized by targeted sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene in tissue and saliva samples in patients with OSCC. Capnocytophaga gingivalis, Prevotella melaninogenica, Streptococcus mitis, Fusobacterium periodonticum, Prevotella tannerae, and Prevotella intermedia are the significantly increased bacteria in salivary samples. These have a potential diagnostic application to predict oral cancer through noninvasive salivary screenings. Oral lactic acid bacteria, which are commonly used as probiotic therapy against various disorders, are valuable adjuvants to improve the response to OSCC therapy.

Fate of hepatotoxin microcystin during infection of cyanobacteria by fungal chytrid parasites

Chytrid parasites are increasingly recognized as ubiquitous and potent control agents of phytoplankton, including bloom-forming toxigenic cyanobacteria. In order to explore the fate of the cyanobacterial toxin microcystins (MCs) and assess potential upregulation of their production under parasite attack, a laboratory experiment was conducted to evaluate short- and long-term variation in extracellular and intracellular MC in the cyanobacteria Planktothrix agardhii and P. rubescens, both under chytrid infection and in the presence of lysates of previously infected cyanobacteria. MCs release under parasite infection was limited and not different to uninfected cyanobacteria, with extracellular toxin shares never exceeding 10%, substantially below those caused by mechanical lysis induced by a cold-shock. Intracellular MC contents in P. rubescens under infection were not significantly different from uninfected controls, whereas infected P. agardhii showed a 1.5-fold increase in intracellular MC concentrations, but this was detected within the first 48 hours after parasite inoculation and not later, indicating no substantial MC upregulation in cells being infected. The presence of lysates of previously infected cyanobacteria did not elicit higher intracellular MC contents in exposed cyanobacteria, speaking against a putative upregulation of toxin production induced via quorum sensing in response to parasite attack. These results indicate that chytrid epidemics can constitute a bloom decay mechanism that is not accompanied by massive release of toxins into the medium.

Wall Teichoic Acids Facilitate the Release of Toxins from the Surface of Staphylococcus aureus.

ABSTRACTA major feature of the pathogenicity of Staphylococcus aureus is its ability to secrete cytolytic toxins. This process involves the translocation of the toxins from the cytoplasm through the bacterial membrane and the cell wall to the external environment. The process of their movement through the membrane is relatively well defined, involving both general and toxin-specific secretory systems. Movement of the toxins through the cell wall was considered to involve the passive diffusion of the proteins through the porous cell wall structures; however, recent work suggests that this is more complex, and here we demonstrate a role for the wall teichoic acids (WTA) in this process. Utilizing a genome-wide association approach, we identified a polymorphism in the locus encoding the WTA biosynthetic machinery as associated with the cytolytic activity of the bacteria. We verified this association using an isogenic mutant set and found that WTA are required for the release of several cytolytic toxins from the bacterial cells. We show that this effect is mediated by a change in the electrostatic charge across the cell envelope that results from the loss of WTA. As a major target for the development of novel therapeutics, it is important that we fully understand the entire process of cytolytic toxin production and release. These findings open up a new aspect to the process of toxin release by a major human pathogen while also demonstrating that clinical isolates can utilize WTA production to vary their cytotoxicity, thereby altering their pathogenic capabilities.IMPORTANCE The production and release of cytolytic toxins is a critical aspect for the pathogenicity of many bacterial pathogens. In this study, we demonstrate a role for wall teichoic acids, molecules that are anchored to the peptidoglycan of the bacterial cell wall, in the release of toxins from S. aureus cells into the extracellular environment. Our findings suggest that this effect is mediated by a gradient of electrostatic charge which the presence of the negatively charged WTA molecules create across the cell envelope. This work brings an entirely new aspect to our understanding of the cytotoxicity of S. aureus and demonstrates a further means by which this major human pathogen can adapt its pathogenic capabilities.

Dynamical study of nutrient‐phytoplankton model with toxicity: Effect of diffusion and time delay

A harmful algal bloom is one of the significant concerns of marine biodiversity. The control of such algal bloom is required for the conservation of marine ecology. The proposed work discusses a model for interacting nutrient phytoplankton systems with the effect of toxic chemicals released by phytoplankton and time delay in toxin liberation. Our main aim is to provide a great insight into the impact of toxins and time delay on the dynamics of nutrient‐phytoplankton. We investigate the stability of system dynamics, and the condition for the existence of Turing instability is obtained. The role of time delay is also investigated for the proposed system. The numerical simulation shows that toxin release rate, the diffusion coefficient of nutrients, and time delay significantly impact system dynamics. We observe that increasing values of toxin release results in the system dynamics show stable and oscillatory behavior without diffusion. The spatial and spatio‐temporal patterns show that the higher value of the rate of toxin release lead to periodic and standing waves. Finally, we observe that the time delay in toxin distribution term stabilizes and destabilizes the system dynamics.

The DarTG toxin-antitoxin system provides phage defence by ADP-ribosylating viral DNA.

Toxin-antitoxin (TA) systems are broadly distributed, yet poorly conserved, genetic elements whose biological functions are unclear and controversial. Some TA systems may provide bacteria with immunity to infection by their ubiquitous viral predators, bacteriophages. To identify such TA systems, we searched bioinformatically for those frequently encoded near known phage defence genes in bacterial genomes. This search identified homologues of DarTG, a recently discovered family of TA systems whose biological functions and natural activating conditions were unclear. Representatives from two different subfamilies, DarTG1 and DarTG2, strongly protected E. coli MG1655 against different phages. We demonstrate that for each system, infection with either RB69 or T5 phage, respectively, triggers release of the DarT toxin, a DNA ADP-ribosyltransferase, that then modifies viral DNA and prevents replication, thereby blocking the production of mature virions. Further, we isolated phages that have evolved to overcome DarTG defence either through mutations to their DNA polymerase or to an anti-DarT factor, gp61.2, encoded by many T-even phages. Collectively, our results indicate that phage defence may be a common function for TA systems and reveal the mechanism by which DarTG systems inhibit phage infection.

Cross diffusion induced spatiotemporal pattern in diffusive nutrient–plankton model with nutrient recycling

This paper presents a mathematical model of spatiotemporal interaction between the nutrient and phytoplankton. The interaction among the constituents in nutrient–phytoplankton system has been considered with Holling type-III functional response and nutrient recycling. We have also considered the effect of cross and self-diffusion in the system. The stability analysis of non-spatial and spatial systems have been studied. We have used simulation techniques to generate patterns for cross and self-diffusive systems. We have performed the numerical simulations and observed the effect of time evolution, cross-diffusion and rate of toxin release by phytoplankton on the density distribution of species. This phenomenon is elaborately discussed in this manuscript by introducing weakly nonlinear analysis. We also introduce amplitude equations which describe the structural interpretation and the stability of Turing pattern for nutrient–phytoplankton system. Amplitude equation is derived by using multiple-scale analysis. Cross-diffusion plays an important role in Turing instability and the formation of spot, stripe and spot–stripe like patterns. It suggests the positive environmental outcomes from nutrient recycling and spatial distribution of phytoplankton in the real world situation.

Mycolicibacterium lacusdiani sp. nov., an Attached Bacterium of Microcystis aeruginosa

In eutrophic water, attached bacteria of Microcystis play an important role in the formation, development, and degradation of Microcystis blooms. A novel actinobacterium, designated as JXJ CY 35T, was isolated from the culture mass of Microcystis aeruginosa FACHB-905 (Maf) collected from Lake Dianchi, Yunnan Province, China. Strain JXJ CY 35T was gram-positive, acid-fast staining, aerobic, with short rod-shaped cells, positive for catalase, and negative for oxidase. The isolate was able to grow at 10.0–36.0°C, pH 4.0–10.0, and tolerate up to 5.0% (w/v) NaCl, with optimal growth at 28°C, pH 7.0–8.0, and 0% (w/v) NaCl. Cell-wall peptidoglycan contains aspartic acid, glutamic acid, glycine, and alanine, with mannose, ribose, galactose, and arabinose as whole-cell sugars. Polar lipids consist of diphosphatidylglycerol (DPG), phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), glycolipid (GL1-3), phosphoglycolipid (PGL), phosphatidylinositol (PI), and unidentified lipid (L1). The predominant menaquinone was MK-9. Major fatty acids (>10%) were C17:1ω7c (37.0%) and C18:1ω9c (18.9%). The complete genome sequence of strain JXJ CY 35T was 6,138,096 bp in size with a DNA G + C content of 68.3%. Based on 16S rRNA gene sequences, it has 98.2% similarity to Mycolicibacterium arabiense JCM 18538T. The digital DNA-DNA hybridization (dDDH) and average nucleotide identity (ANI) values between strain JXJ CY 35T and the closest five type strains M. arabiense JCM 18538T, M. goodii ATCC 700504T, M. mageritense DSM 44476T, M. austroafricanum DSM 44191T, and Mycobacterium neglectum CECT 8778T were 52.1, 20.3, 20.3, 20.6, and 19.8%, and 92.7, 75.5, 75.6, 76.0, and 75.2%, respectively. On the basis of the above taxonomic data and differences in physiological characteristics from the closely related type strain, strain JXJ CY 35T was determined to represent a novel species of genus Mycolicibacterium, for which the name Mycolicibacterium lacusdiani sp. nov., is proposed. The type strain is JXJ CY 35T (=KCTC 49379T = CGMCC 1.17501T). Different inoculation dosages of the type strain JXJ CY 35T could exhibit different effects on the growth of Maf and its toxin synthesis and release. Strain JXJ CY 35T could promote the growth of Maf by providing it with available phosphorus, nitrogen, probably vitamins, and plant growth hormones.
