Faculty Member and Master’s Student from the Department of Life Sciences Register Seven Strains of Different Bacterial Species in the Global Gene Bank (NCBI)
In a remarkable scientific achievement for the College of Science – University of Mosul, Asst. Prof. Dr. Abdulmunem Mohammed Ali and M.Sc. student Abdulrahman Waad Hudali have successfully registered seven new bacterial strains in the Global Gene Bank (NCBI). These strains belong to the following species:
Serratia liquefaciens, Serratia plymuthica, Microbacterium saccharophilum, Gordonia hongkongensis, Bacillus velezensis, Bacillus subtilis, and Acinetobacter junii
The accession numbers are: PV843801, PV843914, PV844160, PV844258, PV844381, PV844382, PV844406.
These species were isolated from groundwater samples in Rabia District, using precise cultivation techniques and advanced molecular diagnostics. Since these strains have not been previously recorded, this achievement adds valuable data to the global genetic repository of environmental bacteria.
The College of Science – University of Mosul, represented by Dean Prof. Dr. Hiyam Adel Ibrahim, congratulates the researchers on this significant accomplishment and wishes them continued success and excellence in the field of scientific research.
