Antibiotic sensitivity screening of Klebsiella spp. and Raoultella spp. isolated from marine bivalve molluscs reveal presence of CTX-M-producing K. pneumoniae
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020-11)Klebsiella spp. are a major cause of both nosocomial and community acquired infections, with K. pneumoniae being responsible for most human infections. Although Klebsiella spp. are present in a variety of environments, ... -
Fervidobacterium pennivorans subsp. keratinolyticus subsp. nov., a Novel Feather-Degrading Anaerobic Thermophile
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Fervidobacterium pennivorans subsp. keratinolyticus subsp. nov. strain T was isolated from a terrestrial, high-altitude hot spring in Tajikistan. This strain is an obligate anaerobic rod and their cells occur singly, in ... -
Genomic analysis of pasteurella atlantica provides insight on its virulence factors and phylogeny and highlights the potential of reverse vaccinology in aquaculture
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Pasteurellosis in farmed lumpsuckers, Cyclopterus lumpus, has emerged as a serious disease in Norwegian aquaculture in recent years. Genomic characterization of the causative agent is essential in understanding the biology ... -
How microbial food web interactions shape the arctic ocean bacterial community revealed by size fractionation experiments
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021-11-17)In the Arctic, seasonal changes are substantial, and as a result, the marine bacterial community composition and functions differ greatly between the dark winter and light-intensive summer. While light availability is, ... -
Marine Plastics from Norwegian West Coast Carry Potentially Virulent Fish Pathogens and Opportunistic Human Pathogens Harboring New Variants of Antibiotic Resistance Genes
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)To our best knowledge this is the first study characterizing fish pathogens isolated from marine plastics from the West coast of Norway for their potential for pathogenicity using whole genome sequencing. Marine plastic ... -
Microbial Diversity of Terrestrial Geothermal Springs in Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh: A Review
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)The microbial diversity of high-altitude geothermal springs has been recently assessed to explore their biotechnological potential. However, little is known regarding the microbiota of similar ecosystems located on the ... -
Molecular characterization of the myoliquefactive fish parasite kudoa mirabilis (Cnidaria, kudoidae) from se Indian Ocean and its phylogenetic relationship with the kudoa thyrsites species complex
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Myxosporean parasites of the genus Kudoa are fish parasites of great economic importance, as some species can affect the fish fillet quality by producing macroscopic cysts or generating post mortem myoliquefaction, commonly ... -
A novel moderately thermophilic facultative methylotroph within the class Alphaproteobacteria
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021-02-25)Methylotrophic bacteria (non-methanotrophic methanol oxidizers) consuming reduced carbon compounds containing no carbon–carbon bonds as their sole carbon and energy source have been found in a great variety of environments. ... -
A Novel Moderately Thermophilic Type Ib Methanotroph Isolated from an Alkaline Thermal Spring in the Ethiopian Rift Valley
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020-02-13)Aerobic moderately thermophilic and thermophilic methane-oxidizing bacteria make a substantial contribution in the control of global warming through biological reduction of methane emissions and have a unique capability ... -
Planctomycetes as a Vital Constituent of the Microbial Communities Inhabiting Different Layers of the Meromictic Lake Sælenvannet (Norway)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Meromictic lakes are permanently stratified lakes that display steep gradients in salinity, oxygen and sulphur compounds tightly linked to bacterial community structure and diversity. Lake Sælenvannet is a meromictic lake ... -
Responses of Free-Living Planktonic Bacterial Communities to Experimental Acidification and Warming
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Climate change driven by human activities encompasses the increase in atmospheric CO2 concentration and sea-surface temperature. Little is known regarding the synergistic effects of these phenomena on bacterial communities ... -
A winter-to-summer transition of bacterial and archaeal communities in Arctic sea ice
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022-08-15)The Arctic is warming 2–3 times faster than the global average, leading to a decrease in Arctic sea ice extent, thickness, and associated changes in sea ice structure. These changes impact sea ice habitat properties and ...
