Novel bacteria named after Pukyong National University reported to international academia The novel types of bacteria named after a national university in Korea have been reported to the international microbiological classification academia and is drawing academia's attention.
Researcher Kim Young-sam, who received a Ph.D. from Pukyong National University last year, conducted a taxonomic study on three bacterial strains purely isolated from a farm that circulates and filters seawater and from shrimp genus and during his doctoral course and he classified these bacteria into three genuses. Researcher Kim published three SCI-level papers containing research results as first authors in international journals such as the <International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology> and <Journal of Microbiology>. According to his study, phylogenetic analysis and genomic analysis confirmed that these three bacteria differ from previously known bacteria at the genus level, which is an upper level than the species. His research verified that novel bacteria exist in farms and shrimp genus. According to the result of genomic analysis, 'Pukyeongiella litopenaei' isolated from the genus of litopenaeus vannamei produces vitamins, amino acids, and antibiotics, and 'Pukyongia salina' has genes involved in the production of carotenoids and antibiotics. The research results are analyzing that 'Salaquimonas pukyongi' will contribute to the nitrogen cycle in aquaculture. Including taxonomic research on such novel bacteria, Mr. Kim built a laboratory-scale farming system of litopenaeus vannamei using BioFloc technology and studied microbiome changes in shrimp and farmed water. He has been recognized for his research achievements by publishing his thesis in the international academic journal <Aquaculture>, which is the top 10% in the field of fisheries science. He led such research results by conducting 'microbiome studies of sea squirts, sea cucumbers, and shrimps from the perspective of a holobiont' as a support project for outstanding scientists at the National Research Foundation of Korea. <Pukyong Today> |
These are the three strains named 'Pukyongiella litopenaei', 'Pukyongia salina', and 'Salaquimonas pukyongi' reported by researcher Kim Young-sam (Kim gyeong-ho, advisory professor) of the Department of Microbiology at Pukyong National University.
