  A Paenibacillus strain isolated in previous research exhibited antimicrobial activity against relevant human pathogens including Staphylococcus aureus and Listeria monocytogenes. In this study, the genome of the aforementioned strain, designated as MP1, was shotgun sequenced. The draft genome of strain MP1 was subject to multiple genomic analyses to taxonomically characterize it and identify the genes potentially responsible for...

  An emerging need for new classes of antibiotics is, on the one hand, evident as antimicrobial resistance continues to rise. On the other hand, the awareness of the pros and cons of chemically synthesized compounds’ extensive use leads to a search for new metabolites in already known reservoirs. Previous research showed that Paenibacillus strain (P. alvei MP1) recovered from a buckwheat honey sample presented a wide spectrum of...

  W ostatnim czasie wzrasta zainteresowanie produktami naturalnymi. Ze względu na postępującą chemizację środowiska chętnie wraca się do produktów tradycyjnych, które jawią się jako te wolne od wszechobecnej chemii. Jednym z takich produktów jest miód. Produkt ten, oprócz walorów prozdrowotnych jest wiarygodnym źródłem informacji na temat stanu środowiska naturalnego i może być wskaźnikiem jego skażenia ze względu na mały zasięg...

  The principal objective of this study was to determine whether the honeys produced in apiaries located in Pomeranian Voivodeship (Northern Poland) contain bacteria producing metabolites with growth inhibition potential against important human and animal pathogens. The pathogens included Staphylococcus aurues, Staphyloccocus epidermidis, Escherichia coli, Listeria monocytogenes, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Candida albicans. From...
