🔬 #OneDayOneGenome We are excited to share the complete genome sequence of Paenibacillus peoriae IBSD35! 🌱 This incredible endophytic bacterium was isolated from the traditional medicinal plant Millettia pachycarpa in Ukhrul, Manipur, India, by the dedicated team at BRIC-Institute of Bioresources and Sustainable Development (IBSD) What makes Paenibacillus peoriae IBSD35 so intriguing? It produces Peoraerin IBSD35, an antimicrobial peptide (AMP) that shows broad-spectrum activity against several significant pathogens, including: 🦠 Staphylococcus aureus 🦠 Escherichia coli 🦠 Candida albicans 🦠 Klebsiella pneumonia 🦠 Salmonella typhimurium Not only is Peoraerin IBSD35 highly effective, but it also demonstrates remarkable resilience. It maintains its antimicrobial properties even after long-term storage, exposure to high temperatures, and resistance to degradative enzymes, making it a promising candidate in the battle against antimicrobial resistance (AMR). This innovative research brings new hope in tackling AMR and underscores the potential of naturally occurring AMPs for public health applications. A big thank you to @departmentofbiotechnology and @drjitendrasingh for their support in this vital work. Let’s keep moving toward a healthier, AMR-free future! 🌍 #AntibioticResistance #WAAW #Genomics #ResearchAndDevelopment #PublicHealth #OneHealth Rajesh Gokhale BRIC-National Institute of Biomedical Genomics
