Members of the Bacteroidetes, formerly known as the Cytophaga-Flavobacteria-Bacteroides (CFB) phylum, are among the major taxa of marine heterotrophic bacterioplankton frequently found on macroscopic organic matter particles (marine snow). In addition, they have been shown to also represent a significant part of free-living microbial assemblages in nutrient-rich microenvironments. Their abundance and distribution pattern in combination with enzymatic activity studies has led to the notion that organisms of this group are specialists for degradation of high molecular weight compounds in both the dissolved and particulate fraction of the marine organic matter pool, implying a major role of Bacteroidetes in the marine carbon cycle. Despite their ecological importance, comprehensive molecular data on organisms of this group have been scarce so far. Here we report on the first whole genome analysis of a marine Bacteroidetes representative, 'Gramella forsetii' KT0803. Functional analysis of the predicted proteome disclosed several traits which in joint consideration suggest a clear adaptation of this marine Bacteroidetes representative to the degradation of high molecular weight organic matter, such as a substantial suite of genes encoding hydrolytic enzymes, a predicted preference for polymeric carbon sources and a distinct capability for surface adhesion. 相似文献

Members of the phylum Bacteroidetes are among the most abundant microbes in coastal marine waters, but it is unclear to which extent the diversity within this phylum is covered by currently available 16S rRNA gene sequence information. We, thus, obtained a comprehensive collection of sequence types affiliated with Bacteroidetes in coastal North Sea surface waters and we compared this local diversity with the available sequences of marine planktonic and other aquatic Bacteroidetes. Approximately 15% of > 600 clones from two libraries (August 2000, June 2001) were related to Bacteroidetes, specifically to the Flavobacteria. Local diversity appeared to be almost exhaustively sampled. However, the diversity of the two libraries virtually did not overlap, indicating a pronounced temporal variability of the planktonic Flavobacteria assemblage. The majority of sequence types represented novel phylogenetic lineages, adding 6-7% to the currently known genera and species of Bacteroidetes in marine waters. Different diversity estimators suggested that so far only approximately half of the global diversity of planktonic marine Bacteroidetes has been described. The data set moreover indicated that cultivation-independent techniques and isolation approaches have recovered almost equally sized and virtually non-overlapping fractions of the currently known diversity within this phylum. Interestingly, only 15% of genera of Bacteroidetes from various aquatic environments appear to occur in more than one habitat type. 相似文献

The Roseobacter clade has been recognized as one of the abundant bacterial lineages in marine environments, which makes the characterization of bacteriophages infecting members of the clade important. Here we report the complete genome sequence of bacteriophage P12053L, which infects Celeribacter sp. strain IMCC12053, a member of the Roseobacter clade. 相似文献

Croceibacter atlanticus HTCC2559(T), a marine bacterium isolated from the Sargasso Sea, is a phylogenetically unique member of the family Flavobacteriaceae. Strain HTCC2559(T) possesses genes related to interaction with primary producers, which makes studies on bacteriophages infecting the strain interesting. Here we report the genome sequence of bacteriophage P2559S, which was isolated off the coast of the Republic of Korea and lytically infects HTCC2559(T). Many genes predicted in the P2559S genome had their homologs in Bacteroides phages. 相似文献

The Microviridae comprises icosahedral lytic viruses with circular single-stranded DNA genomes. The family is divided into two distinct groups based on genome characteristics and virion structure. Viruses infecting enterobacteria belong to the genus Microvirus, whereas those infecting obligate parasitic bacteria, such as Chlamydia, Spiroplasma and Bdellovibrio, are classified into a subfamily, the Gokushovirinae. Recent metagenomic studies suggest that members of the Microviridae might also play an important role in marine environments. In this study we present the identification and characterization of Microviridae-related prophages integrated in the genomes of species of the Bacteroidetes, a phylum not previously known to be associated with microviruses. Searches against metagenomic databases revealed the presence of highly similar sequences in the human gut. This is the first report indicating that viruses of the Microviridae lysogenize their hosts. Absence of associated integrase-coding genes and apparent recombination with dif-like sequences suggests that Bacteroidetes-associated microviruses are likely to rely on the cellular chromosome dimer resolution machinery. Phylogenetic analysis of the putative major capsid proteins places the identified proviruses into a group separate from the previously characterized microviruses and gokushoviruses, suggesting that the genetic diversity and host range of bacteriophages in the family Microviridae is wider than currently appreciated. 相似文献

Recent studies have expanded the phylum Chlorobi, demonstrating that the green sulfur bacteria (GSB), the original cultured representatives of the phylum, are a part of a broader lineage whose members have more diverse metabolic capabilities that overlap with members of the phylum Bacteroidetes. The 16S rRNA gene of an uncultivated clone, OPB56, distantly related to the phyla Chlorobi and Bacteroidetes, was recovered from Obsidian Pool in Yellowstone National Park; however, the detailed phylogeny and function of OPB56 and related clones have remained unknown. Culturing of thermophilic bacterial consortia from compost by adaptation to grow on ionic-liquid pretreated switchgrass provided a consortium in which one of the most abundant members, NICIL-2, clustered with OPB56-related clones. Phylogenetic analysis using the full-length 16S rRNA gene from NICIL-2 demonstrated that it was part of a monophyletic clade, referred to as OPB56, distinct from the Bacteroidetes and Chlorobi. A near complete draft genome (>95% complete) was recovered from metagenomic data from the culture adapted to grow on ionic-liquid pretreated switchgrass using an automated binning algorithm, and this genome was used for marker gene-based phylogenetic analysis and metabolic reconstruction. Six additional genomes related to NICIL-2 were reconstructed from metagenomic data sets obtained from thermal springs at Yellowstone National Park and Nevada Great Boiling Spring. In contrast to the 16S rRNA gene phylogenetic analysis, protein phylogenetic analysis was most consistent with the clustering of the Chlorobea, Ignavibacteria and OPB56 into a single phylum level clade. Metabolic reconstruction of NICIL-2 demonstrated a close linkage with the class Ignavibacteria and the family Rhodothermaceae, a deeply branching Bacteroidetes lineage. The combined phylogenetic and functional analysis of the NICIL-2 genome has refined the membership in the phylum Chlorobi and emphasized the close evolutionary and metabolic relationship between the phyla Chlorobi and the Bacteroidetes. 相似文献

Leadbetterella byssophila Weon et al. 2005 is the type species of the genus Leadbetterella of the family Cytophagaceae in the phylum Bacteroidetes. Members of the phylum Bacteroidetes are widely distributed in nature, especially in aquatic environments. They are of special interest for their ability to degrade complex biopolymers. L. byssophila occupies a rather isolated position in the tree of life and is characterized by its ability to hydrolyze starch and gelatine, but not agar, cellulose or chitin. Here we describe the features of this organism, together with the complete genome sequence, and annotation. L. byssophila is already the 16(th) member of the family Cytophagaceae whose genome has been sequenced. The 4,059,653 bp long single replicon genome with its 3,613 protein-coding and 53 RNA genes is part of the Genomic Encyclopedia of Bacteria and Archaea project. 相似文献

Rhodothermus marinus Alfredsson et al. 1995 is the type species of the genus and is of phylogenetic interest because the Rhodothermaceae represent the deepest lineage in the phylum Bacteroidetes. R. marinus R-10(T) is a Gram-negative, non-motile, non-spore-forming bacterium isolated from marine hot springs off the coast of Iceland. Strain R-10(T) is strictly aerobic and requires slightly halophilic conditions for growth. Here we describe the features of this organism, together with the complete genome sequence, and annotation. This is the first complete genome sequence of the genus Rhodothermus, and only the second sequence from members of the family Rhodothermaceae. The 3,386,737 bp genome (including a 125 kb plasmid) with its 2914 protein-coding and 48 RNA genes is part of the Genomic Encyclopedia of Bacteria and Archaea project. 相似文献

Listeria monocytogenes is an important food-borne pathogen, and its bacteriophages find many uses in detection and biocontrol of its host. The novel broad-host-range virulent phage P70 has a unique morphology with an elongated capsid. Its genome sequence was determined by a hybrid sequencing strategy employing Sanger and PacBio techniques. The P70 genome contains 67,170 bp and 119 open reading frames (ORFs). Our analyses suggest that P70 represents an archetype of virus unrelated to other known Listeria bacteriophages. 相似文献

Bacteroidetes VC2.1 Bac22 (referred to as VC2.1) is an uncultured clade that is widely distributed in marine ecosystems, including hydrothermal vents, oxygen-minimum zones and other anoxic, sulfide-rich environments. However, the lack of cultured representatives and sequenced genomes of VC2.1 limit our understanding of its physiology, metabolism and ecological functions. Here, we obtained a stable co-culture of VC2.1 with autotrophic microbes by establishing an autotrophy-based enrichment from a hydrothermal vent chimney sample. We recovered a high-quality metagenome-assembled genome (MAG) that belonged to VC2.1. Phylogenetic analyses of both 16S rRNA genes and conserved protein markers suggested that VC2.1 belongs to a novel order in the Bacteroidetes phylum, which we named Candidatus Sulfidibacteriales. The metabolic reconstruction of this MAG indicated that VC2.1 could utilize polysaccharides, protein polymers and fatty acids as well as flexibly obtain energy via NO/N 2O reduction and polysulfide reduction. Our results reveal the ecological potential of this novel Bacteroidetes for complex organic carbons mineralization and N 2O sinks in deep-sea hydrothermal vents. Furthermore, guided by the genome information, we designed a new culture medium in which starch, ammonium and polysulfide were used as the carbon source, nitrogen source and electron acceptor respectively, to isolate VC2.1 successfully. 相似文献

Members of the genus Marinomonas in the Gammaproteobacteria are broadly distributed in marine environments where they could be infected by bacteriophages. Here we report the genome sequence of bacteriophage P12026 that can lytically infect bacterial strain IMCC12026, a member of the genus Marinomonas. To our knowledge, this is the first genome sequence of a lytic bacteriophage infecting the genus Marinomonas. 相似文献

Marine microbes, particularly Bacteroidetes, are a rich source of enzymes that can degrade diverse marine polysaccharides. Aquimarina sp. ERC-38, which belongs to the Bacteroidetes phylum, was isolated from seawater in South Korea. It showed agar-degrading activity and required an additional carbon source for growth on marine broth 2216. Here, the genome of the strain was sequenced to understand its agar degradation mechanism, and 3615 protein-coding sequences were predicted, which were assigned putative functions according to their annotated functional feature categories. In silico genome analysis revealed that the ERC-38 strain has several carrageenan-degrading enzymes but could not degrade carrageenan because it lacked genes encoding κ-carrageenanase and S1_19A type sulfatase. Moreover, the strain possesses multiple genes predicted to encode enzymes involved in agarose degradation, which are located in a polysaccharide utilization locus. Among the enzymes, Aq1840, which is closest to ZgAgaC within the glycoside hydrolase 16 family, was characterized using a recombinant enzyme expressed in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3) cells. An enzyme assay revealed that recombinant Aq1840 mainly converts agarose to NA4. Moreover, recombinant Aq1840 could weakly hydrolyze A5 into A3 and NA2. These results showed that Aq1840 is involved in at least the initial agar degradation step prior to the metabolic pathway that uses agarose as a carbon source for growth of the strain. Thus, this enzyme can be applied to development and manufacturing industry for prebiotic and antioxidant food additive. Furthermore, our genome sequence analysis revealed that the strain is a potential resource for research on marine polysaccharide degradation mechanisms and carbon cycling.

Saprospira grandis is a coastal marine bacterium that can capture and prey upon other marine bacteria using a mechanism known as 'ixotrophy'. Here, we present the complete genome sequence of Saprospira grandis str. Lewin isolated from La Jolla beach in San Diego, California. The complete genome sequence comprises a chromosome of 4.35 Mbp and a plasmid of 54.9 Kbp. Genome analysis revealed incomplete pathways for the biosynthesis of nine essential amino acids but presence of a large number of peptidases. The genome encodes multiple copies of sensor globin-coupled rsbR genes thought to be essential for stress response and the presence of such sensor globins in Bacteroidetes is unprecedented. A total of 429 spacer sequences within the three CRISPR repeat regions were identified in the genome and this number is the largest among all the Bacteroidetes sequenced to date. 相似文献

We determined the bacterial community profile in non-axenic cultures of Chlorella (Chlorophyceae, Chlorophyta) isolated from soil. The bacterial composition at the phylum level was different from that of whole soil bacteria, but it was similar to that reported for non-axenic cultures of marine microalgae such as diatoms (Bacillariophyceae, Heterokontophyta). Expected novel bacteria, i.e. those which do not have close relatives among described species, were maintained in the cultures, and these bacteria were chiefly composed of members of the phylum Bacteroidetes. They may have been 'as-yet-uncultured' but in practice unintentionally been cultured in microalgal cultures. They could serve as good bioresources in various fields of biological and ecological studies. 相似文献

We investigated the diversity of the bacterial 16S rRNA genes occurring on the abdominal setal tufts and in the emptied midgut
of the marine mudshrimp Pestarella tyrrhena (Decapoda: Thalassinidea). There were no dominant phylotypes on the setal tufts. The majority of the phylotypes belonged
to the phylum Bacteroidetes, frequently occurring in the water column. The rest of the phylotypes were related to anoxygenic
photosynthetic α-Proteobacteria and to Actinobacteria. This bacterial profile seems more of a marine assemblage rather than
a specific one suggesting that no specific microbial process can be inferred on the setal tufts. In the emptied midgut, 64
clones were attributed to 16 unique phylotypes with the majority (40.6%) belonging to the γ-Proteobacteria, specifically to
the genus Vibrio, a marine group with known symbionts of decapods. The next most abundant group was the ɛ-Proteobacteria (28.1%), with members
as likely symbionts related to the processes involving redox reactions occurring in the midgut. In addition, phylotypes related
to the Spirochaetes (10.9%) were also present, with relatives capable of symbiosis conducting a nitrite associated metabolism.
Entomoplasmatales, Bacteroidetes and Actinobacteria related phylotypes were also found. These results indicate a specific
bacterial community dominated by putative symbiotic Bacteria within the P. tyrrhena’s midgut. 相似文献

To understand the functioning of sponges, knowledge of the structure of their associated microbial communities is necessary. However, our perception of sponge-associated microbiomes remains mainly restricted to marine ecosystems. Here, we report on the molecular diversity and composition of bacteria in the freshwater sponge Ephydatia fluviatilis inhabiting the artificial lake Vinkeveense Plassen, Utrecht, The Netherlands. Polymerase chain reaction-denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (PCR-DGGE) fingerprints revealed that the apparent diversities within the domain Bacteria and the phylum Actinobacteria were lower in E. fluviatilis than in bulk water. Enrichment of specific PCR-DGGE bands in E. fluviatilis was detected. Furthermore, sponge- and bulk water-derived bacterial clone libraries differed with respect to bacterial community composition at the phylum level. E. fluviatilis-derived sequences were affiliated with six recognized phyla, i.e., Proteobacteria, Planctomycetes, Actinobacteria, Bacteroidetes, Chlamydiae and Verrucomicrobia, in order of relative abundance; next to the uncultured candidate phylum TM7 and one deeply rooted bacterial lineage of undefined taxonomy (BLUT). Actinobacteria, Proteobacteria, and Bacteroidetes were the dominant bacterial phyla in the freshwater clone library whereas sequences affiliated with Planctomycetes, Verrucomicrobia, Acidobacteria and Armatimonadetes were found at lower frequencies. Fine-tuned phylogenetic inference showed no or negligible overlaps between the E. fluviatilis and water-derived phylotypes within bacterial taxa such as Alphaproteobacteria, Bacteroidetes and Actinobacteria. We also ascertained the status of two alphaproteobacterial lineages as freshwater sponge-specific phylogenetic clusters, and report on high distinctiveness of other E. fluviatilis specific phylotypes, especially within the Bacteroidetes, Planctomycetes and Chlamydia taxa. This study supports the contention that the composition and diversity of bacteria in E. fluviatilis is partially driven by the host organism. 相似文献

The diversity of temperate bacteriophages was examined in 32 Mannheimia haemolytica, six Mannheimia glucosida and four Pasteurella trehalosi isolates. Phage particles were induced and identified by electron microscopy in 24 (75%) M. haemolytica isolates, but in only one (17%) M. glucosida and one (25%) P. trehalosi isolate. The M. haemolytica phages were relatively diverse as seven Siphoviridae, 15 Myoviridae and two Podoviridae-like phages were identified; the Myoviridae-type phages also exhibited structural variation of their tails. The bacteriophages induced in M. glucosida and P. trehalosi were of the Myoviridae type. Restriction endonuclease (RE) analysis identified nine distinct RE types among the M. haemolytica bacteriophages, providing further evidence of their relative diversity. A limited number of phages caused plaques on indicator strains and the phages exhibited a narrow host range. A subgroup of 11 bovine serotype A1 and A6 isolates contained Myoviridae-type phages of the same RE type (type A), but these differed in their abilities to infect and form plaques on the same panel of indicator strains. A P2-like phage (phiPHL213.1), representative of the RE type A phages, was identified from the incomplete M. haemolytica genome sequence. The phiPHL213.1 genome contains previously unidentified genes and represents a new member of the P2 phage family. 相似文献
