Rhodoglobus galactosidasius sp. nov., a psychrophilic Actinomycetota producing a cold-active β-galactosidase isolated from Cape Hallett, Antarctica

A novel psychrophilic member of the phylum Actinomycetota , designated strain CPHL_1 T , was isolated from the shoreline of Cape Hallett, Antarctica. Cells were Gram-positive, aerobic, non-motile, non-spore-forming rods (0.7–1.0 µm in length) with orange to yellow pigmentation. O...

A hybrid and cost-efficient barcoding strategy for full-length 16S rRNA gene nanopore sequencing of environmental samples

Abstract Background Accurate species-level identification of bacteria in complex environmental samples is essential for applications in biotechnology, ecological monitoring, and clinical diagnostics. Short-read platforms such as Illumina frequently truncate the 16S rRNA gene, lim...
