Moderately thermophilic nitrifying bacteria from a hot spring of the Baikal rift zone

Samples from three hot springs (Alla, Seya and Garga) located in the northeastern part of Baikal rift zone (Buryat Republic, Russia) were screened for the presence of thermophilic nitrifying bacteria. Enrichment cultures were obtained solely from the Garga spring characterized by slightly alkaline water (pH 7.9) and an outlet temperature of 75 degrees C. The enrichment cultures of the ammonia- and nitrite oxidizers grew at temperature ranges of 27-55 and 40-60 degrees C, respectively. The temperature optimum was approximately 50 degrees C for both groups and thus they can be designated as moderate thermophiles. Ammonia oxidizers were identified with classical and immunological techniques. Representatives of the genus Nitrosomonas and Nitrosospira-like bacteria with characteristic vibroid morphology were detected. The latter were characterized by an enlarged periplasmic space, which has not been previously observed in ammonia oxidizers. Electron microscopy, denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis analyses and partial 16S rRNA gene sequencing provided evidence that the nitrite oxidizers were members of the genus Nitrospira.     

Toxic effects exerted on methanogenic, nitrifying and denitrifying bacteria by chemicals used in a milk analysis laboratory

The toxic effects caused by the chemicals contained in wastewaters generated by laboratories involved in raw milk analyses were assessed using batch assays. These assays were carried out separately with methanogenic, ammonium-oxidizing, nitrite-oxidizing and denitrifying bacteria. Since sodium azide is one of the main components of the chemical mixture present in these streams, a set of assays was carried out with the whole chemical mixture, and another one was performed only with azide as the sole toxicant. The concentrations of all chemicals in the raw wastewaters (100%) were the fundamental references used to assess the relative concentrations corresponding to a decrease of 50% in bacterial activity (IC₅₀). The results obtained showed that nitrite-oxidizing bacteria were the most sensitive microorganisms, with IC₅₀ relative concentrations around 0.04%. The values obtained for the other groups were: 20, 20 and 33% for methanogenic, ammonium-oxidizing and denitrifying bacteria, respectively.

Isolation and characterization of a novel facultatively alkaliphilic Nitrobacter species, N. alkalicus sp. nov.

Five strains of lithotrophic, nitrite-oxidizing bacteria (AN1-AN5) were isolated from sediments of three soda lakes (Kunkur Steppe, Siberia; Crater Lake and Lake Nakuru, Kenya) and from a soda soil (Kunkur Steppe, Siberia) after enrichment at pH 10 with nitrite as sole electron source. Morphologically, the isolates resembled representatives of the genus Nitrobacter. However, they differed from recognized species of this genus by the presence of an additional S-layer in their cell wall and by their unique capacity to grow and oxidize nitrite under highly alkaline conditions. The influence of pH on growth of one of the strains (AN1) was investigated in detail by using nitrite-limited continuous cultivation. Under such conditions, strain AN1 was able to grow at a broad pH range from 6.5 to 10.2, with an optimum at 9.5. Cells grown at pH higher than 9 exhibited a clear shift in the optimal operation of the nitrite-oxidizing system towards the alkaline pH region with respect to both reaction rates and the affinity. Cells grown at neutral pH values behaved more like neutrophilic Nitrobacter species. These data demonstrated the remarkable potential of the new nitrite-oxidizing bacteria for adaptation to varying alkaline conditions. The 16S rRNA gene sequences of isolates AN1, AN2, and AN4 showed high similarity (≥ 99.8%) to each other, and to sequences of Nitrobacter strain R6 and of Nitrobacter winogradskyi. However, the DNA-DNA homology in hybridization studies was too low to consider these isolates as new strains. Therefore, the new isolates from the alkaline habitats are described as a new species of the genus Nitrobacter, N. alkalicus, on the basis of their substantial morphological, physiological, and genetic differences from the recognized neutrophilic representatives of this genus.

Isolation and Culture of a Marine Bacterium Degrading the Sulfated Fucans from Marine Brown Algae

Fucoidans are matrix polysaccharides from marine brown algae, consisting of an α-l-fucose backbone substituted by sulfate-ester groups and masked with ramifications containing other monosaccharide residues. In spite of their interest as biologically active compounds in a number of homologous and heterologous systems, no convenient sources with fucanase activity are available yet for the degradation of the fucalean algae. We here report on the isolation, characterization, and culture conditions of a bacterial strain capable of degrading various brown algal fucoidans. This bacterium, a member of the family Flavobacteriaceae, was shown to secrete fucoidan endo-hydrolase activity. An extracellular enzyme preparation was used to degrade the fucoidan from the brown alga Pelvetia canaliculata. End products included a tetrasaccharide and a hexasaccharide made of the repetition of disaccharidic units consisting of α-1→3-l-fucopyranose-2-sulfate-α-1→4-l-fucopyranose-2,3-disulfate, with the 3-linked residues at the nonreducing end.
