Biochemical and phylogenetic analyses of psychrophilic isolates belonging to the Arthrobacter subgroup and description of Arthrobacter psychrolactophilus, sp. nov.

During our work on psychrophilic microorganisms we obtained a large collection of new isolates. In order to identify six of these, we examined their growth properties, cell wall compositions, and their 16S rRNA gene sequences. The results showed that all of the isolates are gram-positive, aerobic, contain lysine in their cell walls, and belong to the high mol% G+C Arthrobacter subgroup. Phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rRNA genes grouped five isolates obtained from a small geographical region into a monophyletic clade. Isolate B7 had a 16S rRNA sequence that was 94.3% similar to that of Arthrobacter polychromogenes and 94.4% similar to that of Arthrobacter oxydans. Primary characteristics that distinguish isolate B7 from the Arthrobacter type strain (Arthrobacter globiformis) and A. polychromogenes include lack of growth at 37 degrees C, growth at 0-5 degrees C, the ability to use lactose as a sole carbon source, and the absence of blue pigments. Because of these differences, isolate B7 was chosen as a type strain representing a new Arthrobacter species, Arthrobacter psychrolactophilus. The sixth isolate, LV7, differed from the other five because it did not have the rod/ coccus morphological cycle and was most closely related to Arthrobacter agilis.

Phylogenetic relationship of the fish pathogenic Renibacterium salmoninarum to Arthrobacter, Micrococcus and related taxa

Abstract The phylogenetic position of the obligate fish pathogenic Gram-positive eubacterium Renibacterium salmoninarum was determined by the 16S ribosomal RNA cataloguing approach. Comparison of the catalogue to those of more than 165 Gram-positive organisms from 50 genera revealed that R. salmoninarum is a member of the actinomycetes subdivision. As derived from similarity coefficients (S_AB values), this organism is related to a subgroup harbouring morphologically and chemotaxonomically rather heterogeneous taxa, including Anthrobacter, Micrococcus, Cellulomonas, Jonesia, Promicromonospora, Stomatococcus and Brevibacterium . Thus, the inclusion of organisms characterized by regular rods increases the phenotypic variability of this phylogenetically coherent group.     

Bacillus onubensis sp. nov., isolated from the air of two Andalusian caves

Two Gram-positive, catalase-positive, oxidase-negative, motile, endospore-forming, rod-shaped bacteria, designated as 0911MAR22V3T and 0911TES10J4, were isolated from air samples collected in two show caves, located in Andalusia, Southern Spain. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that both strains were indistinguishable and they were most closely related to Bacillus humi DSM 16318T (98%). DNA–DNA hybridization values of the strain 0911MAR22V3T with respect to strain 0911TES10J4 and B. humi DSM 16318T were 76.8% (73.9%, reciprocal) and 56.9% (63.3%, reciprocal analysis), respectively. Whole genome average nucleotide identity (ANI) values of both strains were in the threshold value for species delineation and less than 85% with B. humi. Strains 0911MAR22V3T and 0911TES10J4 grew at 10–47 °C (optimum 37 °C), at pH 6–9.5 and with 0–8% (w/v) NaCl (optimum 1%). In both strains the dominant isoprenoid quinone was MK-7, the major cellular polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, and two more phospholipids, the predominant fatty acids were iso-C15:0 and anteiso-C15:0 and the DNA G + C content was 38 mol%. On the basis of their phylogenetic relatedness and their phenotypic and genotypic features, the strains 0911MAR22V3T and 0911TES10J4 should be attributed to a novel species within the genus Bacillus, for which the name Bacillus onubensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is 0911MAR22V3T (=LMG 27963T = CECT 8479T); and strain 0911TES10J4 (CECT 8478) is a reference strain.     

Shivajiella indica gen. nov., sp. nov., a marine bacterium of the family "Cyclobacteriaceae" with nitrate reducing activity

Novel orange pigmented, Gram-negative-staining, rod-shaped, non-motile, strictly aerobic strains designated NIO-S1(T) and NIO-S2 were isolated from the water sample of a pond adjacent to the coast and an algal mat from a fish pond, respectively, at Kakinada, India. Both strains were positive for oxidase, catalase and β-galactosidase activities. The predominant fatty acids in NIO-S1(T) were iso-C(15:0) (39.6%), anteiso-C(15:0) (9.9%), iso-C(17:0) 3OH (10.9%) and C(16:1)ω7c/C(16:1)ω6c (summed feature 3) (5.7%). The strains contained MK-7 as the major respiratory quinine, and diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine and three unidentified lipids as the polar lipids. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that strain NIO-S1(T) was a member of the family "Cyclobacteriaceae" of the class "Sphingobacteriia" and it clustered with the genera Fontibacter, Cecembia and Aquiflexum with phylogenetic distances of 6.8, 9.0 and 12.2% (93.2, 91.0 and 87.8% similarity), respectively. DNA-DNA hybridization between strains NIO-S1(T) and NIO-S2 showed a relatedness of 93% and rep-PCR banding patterns were similar. Based on data from the current polyphasic study, it is proposed that the new isolates be placed in a new genus and species with the name Shivajiella indica gen. nov., sp. nov. The type strain of Shivajiella indica is NIO-S1(T) (= KCTC 19812(T)=MTCC 11065(T)).     

Saccharomycomorpha psychra n. g., n. sp., a Novel Member of Glissmonadida (Cercozoa) Isolated from Arctic and Antarctica

A novel genus and species within the order Glissmonadida (Cercozoa, Rhizaria), Saccharomycomorpha psychra n. g., n. sp., is described from lichen in the Ny-Ålesund region (High Arctic) and moss in the Fildes peninsula of King George Island (Maritime Antarctica). Cells were spherical and did not appear to present flagella in organic-rich Potato Dextrose Agar medium where they were able to feed osmotrophically. Molecular phylogenetic analyses based on 18S rRNA gene sequence demonstrated that Saccharomycomorpha psychra belong to “clade T” within the order Glissmonadida (Cercozoa, Rhizaria). All three investigated strains could grow at 4 °C and had an optimum growth temperature of 12 °C, 20 °C, and 20 °C, while a maximum growth temperature of 20 °C, 20 °C, and 25 °C, respectively. In conclusion, we established the phenotypic identity of “clade T,” which until now was exclusively detected by environmental sequences, and erect a new family Saccharomycomorphidae for “clade T.” Nomenclatural, morphological and ecological aspects of this novel species are discussed.     

利用肠道菌群的分布和16S DNA序列研究鲤科肠道菌系统演化关系

肠道微生物与寄主具有复杂的、多方面的相互依存效应,这种依存效应所产生的共生关系或协同进化关系既可反映寄主间的系统演化关系,也可显示肠道微生物间的系统演化关系,共生关系或协同进化关系是由于寄主与肠道微生物两者之间存在着相互自然选择作用所形成的,在长期的进化历程中逐步发生的共生关系信息很可能被记录在DNA序列中。本文通过检测鱼鲤鱼科8种鱼中9种肠道菌群的分布含量对这9种菌群进行分析,且利用从GenBank调取这9种肠道细菌菌属的43个种或亚种的16S DNA序列的构建NJ树和MP树,将这6个科9个属43个种或亚种分为革兰氏阴性和革兰氏阳性两大类群（一级分枝）。在这两类群中,又以科为单位分为6个亚类群（二级分枝）,而肠杆菌科中则以属为单位分为4个小类群（三级分枝）,此外球状菌与杆状菌也能截然分开。将16S DNA的NJ树隐去所有的种,以属为单位所得到的以分枝形式的无根树在拓扑结构上与菌群分布含量（寄主范围）所构建的无根树相近,但芽孢杆菌在两种无根树的位置中有较大的差异。如果提高检测水平,扩大所检测的寄主对象,这种差异有可能消除。

Isolation and characterization of 3-N-trimethylamino-1-propanol-degrading Rhodococcus sp. strain A2

The aerobic degradation of 3- N -trimethylamino-1-propanol (homocholine) as a sole source of carbon and nitrogen has been found for a Rhodococcus sp. bacterium isolated from soil. The isolate was identified as Rhodococcus sp. strain A2 based on its phenotypic features, physiological and biochemical characteristics, and results of phylogenetic analysis. The washed cells of strain A2 completely degraded homocholine within 6 h, with concomitant formation of several metabolites. Analysis of the metabolites using capillary electrophoresis, fast atom bombardment–MS, and GC–MS showed that trimethylamine was the major metabolite, in addition to β-alanine betaine (β-AB) and trimethylaminopropionaldehyde. Therefore, the possible degradation pathway of homocholine in the isolated strain is through consequent oxidation of the alcohol group (-OH) to aldehyde (-CHO) and acid (-COOH). Thereafter, the cleavage of β-AB C–N bonds yielded trimethylamine and alkyl chain.
