Researchers have discovered a new species of marine bacteria that reproduces through a unique budding process and releases viruses to facilitate nitrogen metabolism. Researchers have isolated a new strain of marine bacteria with unique characteristics from the ocean seabed. The study, recently p
, which is unique for its budding division model and plays a significant role in nitrogen assimilation. The bacteria also live symbiotically with a bacteriophage that further facilitates nitrogen metabolism.
Researchers have isolated a new strain of marine bacteria with unique characteristics from the ocean seabed., is hailed by the editors as a significant contribution to our grasp of the physiological processes within deep-seabacteria.
bacteria are known to reside, and then encouraged their growth by supplementing a standard growth medium with the antibiotic rifampicin and sources of nitrogen. They cultured these enriched bacteria on agar and evaluated individual colonies further by gene sequencing. They also discovered that the addition of nitrate or ammonia caused the novel strain to release a bacteriophage – a type of virus that infects bacteria. Bacteriophages are widely distributed across oceans and can regulate nitrogen metabolism in their host bacteria. This bacteriophage – called phage-ZRK32 – was able to increase the growth ofand other marine bacteria dramatically by facilitating nitrogen metabolism.
