Neobacillus nitrireducens: Characterization of a Novel Soil Bacterium

Jinwoo Ahn published a dataset on figshare in 2026 describing the novel bacterial species Neobacillus nitrireducens sp. nov. The dataset includes a DOCX file detailing the isolation of strain OS1-33T from apple orchard soil in Iksan-si, Republic of Korea, and its genomic and physiological characterization. The file size is 377.4 KB.

Use Cases

• Comparative genomic analysis based on Average Nucleotide Identity (ANI) and digital DNA-DNA hybridization (dDDH) values
• Studying nitrate reduction activity in bacteria under low-temperature and microaerobic conditions
• Taxonomic classification of novel soil bacteria based on 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity
• Identifying potential microbial resources for bioreactor applications based on physiological traits

Strengths

• Includes specific genomic metrics: ANI <95% with known type strains and dDDH of 52.4% with N. drentensis
• Provides concrete physiological findings: nitrate reduction activity under low-temperature and microaerobic conditions
• Contains detailed strain information: DNA G+C content of 38.92 mol% and deposition numbers KCCM 43525T and JCM 38007T

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
