The phylogeny of unicellular, extremely halotolerant cyanobacteria 总被引:14,自引:0,他引:14
We examined the morphology, physiology, and 16S rRNA gene sequences of three culture collection strains and of ten novel
isolates of unicellular cyanobacteria from hypersaline environments. The strains were morphologically diverse, with average
cell widths ranging from 2.8 to 10.3 μm. There were single-celled, colonial, and baeocyte-forming strains. However, morphological
traits were markedly variable with culture conditions. In contrast, all strains displayed extreme halotolerance (growing close
to optimally at above 12% salinity); all were obligately marine, euryhaline, and moderately thermophilic; and all shared a
suite of chemotaxonomic markers including phycobilins, carotenoids, and mycosporine-like amino acids. 16S rRNA gene sequence
analysis indicated that the strains were related to each other. Sequence similarity analysis placed the strains in a monophyletic
cluster (which we named the Halothece cluster) apart from all cultured or uncultured, not extremely halotolerant cyanobacteria
whose 16S rRNA gene sequences are available in public nucleotide sequence databases. This represents the first case in which
a phylogenetically coherent group of cyanobacteria can be defined on the basis of physiology. The Halothece cluster contained
two subclusters that may be divergent at the generic level, one encompassing 12 strains (spanning 5% 16S rRNA gene sequence
divergence and named the Euhalothece subcluster), and a single deep-branching isolate. Phenotypic characterization of the
isolates, including morphological, physiological, and chemotaxonomic traits, did not distinguish these subclusters and only
weakly suggested the existence of two separate clades, one encompassing strains of small cell size (cell width < 5 m) and
another one encompassing strains of larger cell size.

The genetic variability among 32 Chinese Acidithiobacillus spp. environmental isolates and four reference strains representing three recognized species of the genus Acidithiobacillus was characterized by using a combination of molecular methods, namely restriction fragment length polymorphisms of PCR-amplified 16S rRNA genes and 16S-23S rRNA gene intergenic spacers, repetitive element PCR, arbitrarily primed PCR and 16S rRNA gene sequence analyses. 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that all Acidithiobacillus spp. strains could be assigned to seven groups, three of which encompassed the Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans strains from various parts of the world. A comparative analysis of the phylogenetic Group 1 and 2 was undertaken. Restriction fragment length polymorphism results allowed us to separate the 35 Acidithiobacillus strains into 15 different genotypes. An integrated phenotypic and genotypic analysis indicated that the distribution of A. ferrooxidans strains among the physiological groups were in agreement with their distribution among the genomic groups, and that no clear correlation was found between the genetic polymorphism of the Acidithiobacillus spp. strains and either the geographic location or type of habitats from which the strains were isolated. In addition, five unidentified sulfur-oxidizing isolates may represent one or two novel species of the genus Acidithiobacillus. The results showed that the Chinese Acidithiobacillus spp. isolates exhibited a high degree of genomic and phenotypic heterogeneity. 相似文献

Characterisation of micromonosporae from aquatic environments using molecular taxonomic methods 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
Large numbers of strains assigned to the genus Micromonospora on the basis of typical colonial and pigmentation features were isolated from diverse aquatic sediments using a standard selective isolation procedure. Two hundred and six isolates and eight representatives of the genus Micromonospora were assigned to 24 multimembered groups based on a numerical analysis of banding patterns generated using BOX and ERIC primers. Representatives of multimembered groups encompassing isolated micromonosporae were the subject of 16S rRNA gene sequencing analyses. Good congruence was found between the molecular fingerprinting and 16S rRNA sequence data indicating that the groups based upon the former are taxonomically meaningful. Nearly all of the isolates that were chosen for the 16S rRNA gene sequencing analyses showed that the ecosystems studied are a rich source of novel micromonosporae. These findings have implications for high throughput screening for novel micromonosporae as BOX and ERIC fingerprinting, which is rapid and reproducible, can be applied as a robust dereplication procedure to indicate which environmental isolates have been cultured previously. 相似文献

The ribosomal RNA genes in Entamoeba histolytica are located on circular DNA molecules in about 200 copies per genome equivalent. Nucleotide sequence analysis of the 5.8S rRNA gene and the flanking internal transcribed spacers was carried out to determine the degree of sequence divergence in the multiple rRNA gene copies of a given strain; amongst three different E. histolytica strains (HM-1:IMSS, Rahman and HK-9); and amongst four species of Entamoeba (Entamoeba histolytica, Entamoeba dispar, Entamoeba moshkovskii and Entamoeba invadens). The results show that all rRNA gene copies of a given strain are identical. Few nucleotide positions varied between strains of a species but the differences were very pronounced amongst species. In general, the internal transcribed spacer 2 sequence was more variable and may be useful for strain- and species-identification. The 5.8S rRNA gene and the internal transcribed spacer 2 of E. invadens were unusually small in size. 相似文献

Methylobacterium species are ubiquitous α-proteobacteria that reside in the phyllosphere and are fed by methanol that is emitted from plants. In this study, we applied whole-cell matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry analysis (WC-MS) to evaluate the diversity of Methylobacterium species collected from a variety of plants. The WC-MS spectrum was reproducible through two weeks of cultivation on different media. WC-MS spectrum peaks of M. extorquens strain AM1 cells were attributed to ribosomal proteins, but those were not were also found. We developed a simple method for rapid identification based on spectra similarity. Using all available type strains of Methylobacterium species, the method provided a certain threshold similarity value for species-level discrimination, although the genus contains some type strains that could not be easily discriminated solely by 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity. Next, we evaluated the WC-MS data of approximately 200 methylotrophs isolated from various plants with MALDI Biotyper software (Bruker Daltonics). Isolates representing each cluster were further identified by 16S rRNA gene sequencing. In most cases, the identification by WC-MS matched that by sequencing, and isolates with unique spectra represented possible novel species. The strains belonging to M. extorquens, M. adhaesivum, M. marchantiae, M. komagatae, M. brachiatum, M. radiotolerans, and novel lineages close to M. adhaesivum, many of which were isolated from bryophytes, were found to be the most frequent phyllospheric colonizers. The WC-MS technique provides emerging high-throughputness in the identification of known/novel species of bacteria, enabling the selection of novel species in a library and identification without 16S rRNA gene sequencing. 相似文献

Urmia Lake is one of the most permanent hypersaline lakes in the world which is threatened by hypersalinity and serious dryness. In spite of its importance no paper has been published regarding bacterial community of this lake. Accordingly, the present study aimed to investigate the halophilic bacteria in the aforementioned lake. In so doing, thirty seven strains were isolated on six different culture media. The isolated strains were characterized using phenotypic and genotypic methods. Growth of the strains occurred at 2535 degrees C, pH 6-9 and 7 to 20% (w/v) NaCl indicating that most of the isolates were moderately halophiles. Catalase, oxidase and urease activities were found to be positive for the majority of the isolates. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that the isolated bacteria belonged to two major taxa: Gammaproteobacteria (92%, including Salicola [46%], Pseudomonas [13.5%], Marinobacter [ 11%], Idiomarina [11%], and Halomonas [8%]) and Firmicutes (8%, including Bacillus [5%] and Halobacillus [3%]). In addition, a novel bacterium whose 16S rRNA gene sequence showed almost 98% sequence identity with the taxonomically troubled DSM 3050T, Halovibrio denitrificans HGD 3T and Halospina denitrificans HGD 1-3T, each, was isolated. 16S rRNA gene similarity levels along with phenotypic characteristics suggest that some of the isolated strains could be regarded as potential type strain for novel species, on which further studies are recommended. 相似文献

Several marine bacterial strains were isolated from Undaria pinnatifida (Miyok in Korean). Sixty-six strains were isolated on R2A agar media at 10 degrees and identified by a phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequences. They were grouped into 10 different sequence types based on the initial sequence analysis of the 5' domain of the gene (approximately 500 bp). Full sequences of 16S rRNA gene were obtained from one strain in each sequence type and the species-affiliation was determined using phylogenetic and sequence similarity analyses. The results of the analyses indicated that they were closely related to Psychrobacter aquimaris, P. celer, P. nivimaris, P. pulmonis, Psychromonas arctica or Bacillus psychrodurans. These bacteria are marine or psychrotrophic bacteria. Because the sporophytes of U.pinnatifida are cultured on the costal area during winter, the U. pinnatifida-associated bacteria appeared to grow at low temperatures. U. pinnatifida sporophytes can be a good source for the isolation of psychrotrophic bacteria. 相似文献

Phylogenetic diversity of Synechococcus strains isolated from the East China Sea and the East Sea 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Phylogenetic relationships among 33 Synechococcus strains isolated from the East China Sea (ECS) and the East Sea (ES) were studied based on 16S rRNA gene sequences and 16S–23S rRNA gene internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequences. Pigment patterns of the culture strains were also examined. Based on 16S rRNA gene and ITS sequence phylogenies, the Synechococcus isolates were clustered into 10 clades, among which eight were previously identified and two were novel. Half of the culture strains belonged to clade V or VI. All strains that clustered into novel clades exhibited both phycoerythrobilin and phycourobilin. Interestingly, the pigment compositions of isolates belonging to clades V and VI differed from those reported for other oceanic regions. None of the isolates in clade V showed phycourobilin, whereas strains in clade VI exhibited both phycourobilin and phycoerythrobilin, which is in contrast to previous studies. The presence of novel lineages and the different pigment patterns in the ECS and the ES suggests the possibility that some Synechococcus lineages are distributed only in geographically restricted areas and have evolved in these regions. Therefore, further elucidation of the physiological, ecological, and genetic characteristics of the diverse Synechococcus strains is required to understand their spatial and geographical distribution. 相似文献

Two Gram-stain-positive, rod-shaped, non-motile, catalase-negative and facultative anaerobic strains, NCYUAST and BCRC 18859 (=NRIC 1947), were isolated from cow manure of Taiwan and coconut juice of Philippines, respectively. Comparative sequence analysis of 16S rRNA gene revealed that the novel strains were members of the genus Lactobacillus. These two strains had 100% of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity and 98.6% of average nucleotide identity (ANI) value based on whole genome sequences. On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity, the type strains of Lactobacillus casei (99.6% similarity), Lactobacillus paracasei subsp. paracasei (99.1%), L. paracasei subsp. tolerans (99.1%), Lactobacillus rhmnosus (99.0%) and ‘Lactobacillus zeae’ (99.7%) were the closest neighbors to these novel strains. The results of phenotypic and chemotaxonomic characterization, multilocus sequence analysis (MLSA) based on the sequences of three housekeeping genes (dnaK, pheS and yycH), whole-genome sequence (WGS)-based comparison by ANI and in silico DNA–DNA hybridization (isDDH), species-specific PCR and whole-cell MALDI-TOF MS spectral pattern analyses demonstrated that the novel two strains represented a single, novel species within the L. casei group, for which the name Lactobacillus chiayiensis sp. nov., is proposed. The type strain is NCYUAST (=BCRC 81062T = NBRC 112906T). 相似文献

Two Gram-positive strains isolated from cysts of the brine shrimp Artemia franciscana were subjected to a polyphasic taxonomic analysis. Based on 16S rRNA gene sequence comparison and composition of isoprenoid quinones, peptidoglycan and fatty acids, these organisms are members of the genus Exiguobacterium. Both strains showed 95.9% 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity to one another. The 16S rRNA gene sequences of strain 8N(T) and 9AN(T) were 97.5% and 98.9% similar to those of Exiguobacterium aurantiacum DSM 6208(T) and Exiguobacterium undae DSM 14481(T), respectively. Based on differences in chemotaxonomic and physiological characteristics, results of DNA-DNA hybridization and automated riboprinting, two novel species of the genus Exiguobacterium are proposed, Exiguobacterium mexicanum sp. nov. (type strain 8N(T)=DSM 16483(T)=CIP 108859(T)) and Exiguobacterium artemiae sp. nov. (type strain 9AN(T)=DSM 16484(T)=CIP 108858(T)). 相似文献

Isoleucine and alanine tRNAs are encoded tandemly within the 16S-23S intergenic spacer of some eubacterial rRNA gene clusters. Southern hybridization analysis and DNA sequence analysis demonstrated a novel gene organization for an rRNA gene cluster on the Streptococcus pneumoniae chromosome. A sequence specifying an alanine tRNA was found within the intergenic spacer, but no sequence specifying an isoleucine tRNA was found there. Southern hybridization analysis indicated that the location of the isoleucine tRNA gene was near the 5S rRNA gene in two of four rRNA gene clusters. 相似文献

To elucidate the phylogenetic relationships between Thai soybean bradyrhizobia and USDA strains of Bradyrhizobium, restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis using the nifDK gene probe and sequencing of the partial 16S rRNA gene were performed. In our previous work, Thai isolates of Bradyrhizobium sp. (Glycine max) were separated clearly from Bradyrhizobium japonicum and Bradyrhizobium elkanii based on the RFLP analysis using the nodDYABC gene probe. RFLP analysis using the nifDK gene probe divided 14 Thai isolates and eight USDA strains of B. japonicum into different groups, respectively, but categorized into the same cluster. All of seven strains within these Thai isolates had the same sequence of the partial 16S rRNA gene, and it was an intermediate sequence between those of B. japonicum USDA 110 and B. elkanii USDA 76T. Furthermore, three USDA strains of B. japonicum, USDA of (B. japonicum ATCC 10324T), USDA 115 and USDA 129, had the same partial 16S rRNA gene sequence that seven Thai isolates had. These results suggest that Thai isolates of Bradyrhizobium sp. (Glycine max) are genetically distinct from USDA strains of B. japonicum and B. elkanii, but also indicate a close relationship between Thai isolates and USDA strains of B. japonicum. 相似文献

Eighteen Naegleria strains were isolated from organs of freshwater fishes belonging to 5 species. Morphometric study allowed the separation of the Naegleria strains from the non-vahlkampfiid amoeboflagellates, but was inadequate for species determination. Six strains, representatives of groups that had a slightly different cyst size, were selected and corresponding derived clones were subjected to sequence analysis and riboprinting restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP)-PCR analysis of the small subunit (SSU) rRNA genes. One strain isolated from the brain of a fish with systemic infection was characterised by an intronless 2 kb long SSU rRNA gene and was identified as N. australiensis. Another 5 strains had a 1.3 kb long group I intron in their SSU rRNA gene and, based on the SSU rRNA sequences and riboprints, RFLP-PCR patterns appeared in phylogenetic trees to be closely related to Naegleria clarki. 相似文献

Bacteria were isolated and cultured from the red imported fire ant (Solenopsis invicta) midgut. The small-subunit ribosomal RNA gene, (16s rRNA gene, approximately 1500 bp) was amplified from bacterial genomic DNA using the polymerase chain reaction and consensus sequence primers. Restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis revealed 10 unique profiles, indicating that at least 10 different bacteria are present in red imported fire ant midguts. The 16s rRNA gene sequence was determined for these isolates and queried against the NCBI genetic database. The results identified all isolates to at least the genus level. Antibiotic resistance profiles and biochemical activities were also determined for these species. This work provides the basis for a wider characterization of bacterial distributions in fire ant colonies and provides strains suitable for genetic manipulation to develop novel methods of fire ant control. 相似文献

Streptomyces strain LL-P018 produces the phaeochromycins, novel anti-inflammatory polyketides. This organism was identified as a strain of Streptomyces phaeochromogenes by physiological and genetic taxonomic analysis. In order to gain greater taxonomic perspective, LL-P018 was compared to related strains from major culture collections by 16S rRNA gene sequence, ribotype, HPLC-MS metabolite profile, and rpoB sequence. Using BioNumerics software, genetic and chemical fingerprint data were integrated via multivariate cluster analysis into a single, robust comparison. Based upon this analysis, strain LL-P018 is very closely related to the type strains of both S. phaeochromogenes and Streptomyces ederensis, indicating that these two types may in fact represent a single species. This novel comparative multi-cluster analysis is most useful for clarifying relationships between closely related species. 相似文献

Species' identification and microarray-based comparative genome analysis of Streptomyces species isolated from potato scab lesions in Norway 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Streptomyces strains were isolated from scab lesions on potatoes collected from different parts of Norway. Twenty-eight plant-pathogenic strains, as tested on seedlings of radish and on potato, were identified on the basis of physiological and molecular criteria. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis, using species-specific primers, and sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene identified 14 nonmelanin-producing strains to S. turgidiscabies. Fourteen melanin-producing strains were detected with primers specific to S. scabies, but whole-genome microarray analysis, based on 12 766 probes designed for 8848 predicted open reading frames (ORFs) of S. scabies, showed that the 14 strains were different from S. scabies. They were subsequently identified to be S. europaeiscabiei based on the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequences of the rRNA genes. This is the first report of the occurrence of S. turgidiscabies and S. europaeiscabiei in Norway. The putative 762 genes exhibiting the highest sequence differences between strains of S. europaeiscabiei and S. scabies according to microarray analysis were concentrated in relatively few gene ontology (GO) categories, including 'symbiosis and mutualism through parasitism', 'cell death' and 'responses to biotic stimulus', whereas genes related to primary metabolism appeared to be more conserved. Microarray data and 16S rRNA gene phylogeny showed, consistently, that there were two genetically distinguishable groups of S. europaeiscabiei on the basis of differences in 131 genes. The results provide novel information about the genetic variability of S. europaeiscabiei and the gene-specific variability between the genomes of S. europaeiscabiei and S. scabies. The usefulness of a custom-designed, whole-genome oligonucleotide microarray in a survey of bacterial plant pathogens was demonstrated. 相似文献

In order to study microbial diversity in a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon-impacted soil, 14 bacterial strains were analyzed by 16S rRNA gene sequencing and amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) analysis. Bacterial strains isolated from two different hydrocarbon-polluted sites were identified to the species level by 16S rRNA full-gene sequencing using MicroSeq 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Their genome was subsequently analyzed by high-resolution genotyping with AFLP analysis, in order to monitor species variability and to differentiate closely related strains. Cluster analysis based on AFLP fingerprinting showed intra-specific polymorphism, even among strains with 100% 16S rRNA gene sequence identity. The results show that AFLP is a powerful, highly reproducible and discriminatory tool for revealing genetic relationships in bacterial populations. The ability to differentiate and track related closely microbes is fundamental for studying structure and dynamics of microbial communities in contaminated ecosystems. 相似文献
