The paper generates single-gene deletions in the epsA-O operon of Bacillus subtilis to assess gene contributions to EPS production and biofilm formation.

This study tests antimicrobial properties of edible mushrooms and finds that co-culturing some mushrooms with bacteria enhances their antibacterial effects.

The paper characterizes bacterial diversity and adaptive traits in the Atacama Desert using 16S rRNA sequencing and whole genome sequencing of isolates.

The paper reports whole-genome sequencing of a Janthinobacterium sp. isolate from Patagonian soil, identifying biosynthetic gene clusters including violacein production.

The paper sequences the genomes of three Bacillus sp. strains from the Atacama Desert to study their survival mechanisms in extreme environments.
