Three marine bacterial strains designated YLB-06T, YLB-08T and YLB-09 were isolated under high hydrostatic pressure from deep-sea sediment samples collected from the Southwest Indian Ocean. They were Gram-stain-negative, oxidase- and catalase-positive, facultative anaerobic and motile. In addition, the strains were capable of growing at 0–20 °C (optimum 4–10 °C) and 0.1–40 MPa (optimum 0.1 MPa), were psychrophiles and piezotolerant, and could use trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO), DMSO, elemental sulfur and insoluble Fe (III) as terminal electron acceptors during anaerobic growth. Strain YLB-06T could also use nitrate, and strains YLB-08T and YLB-09 could use nitrite as a terminal electron acceptor. Phylogenetic tree analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences and 400 optimized universal marker sequences indicated that the strains belonged to the genus Shewanella. The 16S rRNA gene highest similarity, together with the estimated ANI and DDH values for these strains with their related type strains, were below the respective thresholds for species differentiation. The ANI and DDH values between YLB-08T and YLB-09 were 99.9% and 91.8%, respectively, implying that they should belong to the same genospecies. The YLB-06T genome had duplicated genes, and multiple movement modalities, attachment modalities, biofilm synthesis systems, intercellular interactions and a strong antioxidant system, which were all beneficial for survival in an extreme deep-sea environment. The G + C contents of strains YLB-06T, YLB-08T and YLB-09 were 45.1, 43.5 and 43.6 mol%, respectively. Based on polyphasic taxonomic properties, two novel psychropiezotolerant species are proposed, Shewanella psychropiezotolerans sp. nov. with YLB-06T (=MCCC 1A12715T = KCTC 62907T) and S. eurypsychrophilus sp. nov with YLB-08T (=MCCC 1A12718T = KCTC 62909T) as type strains.  相似文献

Several barophilic Shewanella species have been isolated from deep-sea sediments at depths of 2,485– 6,499 m. From the results of taxonomic studies, all of these isolates have been identified as strains of Shewanella benthica except for strain DSS12. Strain DSS12 is a member of a novel, moderately barophilic Shewanella species isolated from the Ryukyu Trench at a depth of 5,110 m. On Marine Agar 2216 plates, this organism produced a violet pigment, whereas the colonies of other isolates (S. benthica) were rose-colored. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16 S ribosomal RNA gene sequences showed that strain DSS12 represents a separate lineage within the genus Shewanella that is closely related to S. benthica and particularly to the members of the Shewanella barophiles branch. The temperature range for growth and some of the biochemical characteristics indicate that strain DSS12 differs from other Shewanella species. Furthermore, strain DSS12 displayed a low level of DNA similarity to the Shewanella type strains. Based on these differences, it is proposed that strain DSS12 represents a new deep-sea Shewanella species. The name Shewanella violacea (JCM 10179) is proposed.

Highlights
1. HMP1 is the first bacteriophage that was isolated from hadal sediment, the water depth at which HMP1 was isolated is the highest on record up to now.
2. The isolation of HMP1 extends the habitat of linear plasmid phages from the surface to the deep ocean.
3. The genomic and morphological features of HMP1 provide hints with regard to the vertical exchange of viral communities in the ocean.
4. HMP1 and Halomonas sp. MT08-1 contribute a useful phage-host system for in-depth analysis of the life strategy of viruses and their interactions with bacterial hosts in extreme hadal environments.  相似文献

This study investigates the potentiometric properties of several strains of Shewanella spp. and determines whether these properties can be correlated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) type. The LPS of eight Shewanella strains was characterized using silver-stained sodium dodecyl sulfate–polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and their potentiometric properties determined using high-resolution acid–base titrations. Titrations showed that total ligand concentrations (L T ) ranged from 0.903 ± 0.007 μmol/mg (S. baltica 63) to 1.387 ± 0.007 μmol/mg (S. amazonensis SB2B). Smooth strains (possessing O-side chains) exhibited higher mean L T values than rough strains (no O-side chain). A Tukey’s honestly significantly different (HSD) test revealed, smooth strains exhibited significantly higher L T values than rough strains in 69% of comparisons. Comparison of individual pK a concentrations revealed that smooth LPS strains of Shewanella were relatively enriched in reactive groups at pK a 5, suggesting their LPS O-side chains contained detectable carboxyl groups. Combined pKa spectra from all eight Shewanella strains produced a common trend indicating that the way in which the surface proton-buffering capacity changes with pH is similar for the species studied here.  相似文献

Tests to detect the presence of piezophilic Shewanella strains in the deep-sea sediments of the west, mid- and east Pacific at different depths were done by amplification of previously identified pressure-regulated operons (ORF1,2 and ORF3). The operon fragments were detected in all the deep-sea sediment samples, indicating the broad presence of piezophilic deep-sea Shewanella species or related species in the deep-sea sediments across the Pacific. Extremophiles were isolated from the deep-sea sediment of the west Pacific under atmospheric pressure. Two psychrophilic/psychrotrophic strains, WP2 and WP3, were assigned to the Shewanella genus as determined by their 16S rDNA sequences. WP2 and WP3 were both capable of amplifying pressure-regulated operons; the sequences of the pressure-regulated operons of WP2 and WP3 share high identity between each other, but have more differences from those of S. benthica and S. violacea. The major fatty acids of WP2 and WP3 are 3OH-i-13:0, 14:0, i-15:0, 16:0, 16:1, 18:1, and 20:5. Combined phenotypic analysis, 16S rDNA sequences, and DNA–DNA hybridization results suggest that WP2 and WP3 are two new deep-sea Shewanella species.Communicated by K. Horikoshi  相似文献

Early mortality syndrome (EMS) in cultivated shrimp is of complex aetiology. One of the causes is acute hepatopancreatic necrosis disease (AHPND) caused by unique Vibrio isolates that carry two Pirvp toxin genes, but other causes of EMS remain mostly unexplained. Here, we describe the discovery of a Shewanella isolate TH2012T from an EMS/AHPND outbreak pond and demonstrate its virulence for shrimp (the mean lethal concentration of 105 colony-forming units per millilitre by immersion challenge) accompanied by distinctive histopathology, particularly of the ventral nerve cord and lymphoid organ but also including the digestive tract. On the basis of its complete genome sequence, multilocus phylogenetic trees, digital DNA–DNA hybridization analysis and differential phenotypic characteristics, we propose that Shewanella isolate TH2012T represents a novel species, separated sufficiently from the type strains S. litorisediminis and S. amazonensis to justify naming it Shewanella khirikhana sp. nov. Analysis of the TH2012T genome revealed no homologues of the Pirvp toxin genes but revealed a number of other potential virulence factors. It constitutes the first Shewanella isolate reported to be pathogenic to shrimp.  相似文献

Approximately 30 years ago, it was discovered that free-living bacteria isolated from cold ocean depths could produce polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) such as eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) (20:5n-3) or docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) (22:6n-3), two PUFA essential for human health. Numerous laboratories have also discovered that EPA- and/or DHA-producing bacteria, many of them members of the Shewanella genus, could be isolated from the intestinal tracts of omega-3 fatty acid-rich marine fish. If bacteria contribute omega-3 fatty acids to the host fish in general or if they assist some bacterial species in adaptation to cold, then cold freshwater fish or habitats should also harbor these producers. Thus, we undertook a study to see if these niches also contained omega-3 fatty acid producers. We were successful in isolating and characterizing unique EPA-producing strains of Shewanella from three strictly freshwater native fish species, i.e., lake whitefish (Coregonus clupeaformis), lean lake trout (Salvelinus namaycush), and walleye (Sander vitreus), and from two other freshwater nonnative fish, i.e., coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) and seeforellen brown trout (Salmo trutta). We were also able to isolate four unique free-living strains of EPA-producing Shewanella from freshwater habitats. Phylogenetic and phenotypic analyses suggest that one producer is clearly a member of the Shewanella morhuae species and another is sister to members of the marine PUFA-producing Shewanella baltica species. However, the remaining isolates have more ambiguous relationships, sharing a common ancestor with non-PUFA-producing Shewanella putrefaciens isolates rather than marine S. baltica isolates despite having a phenotype more consistent with S. baltica strains.  相似文献

Abstract

In recent years, the hadal trenches have been recognized as biological hot spots for deep sea researchers. Due to high hydrostatic pressure, low temperatures, high salinity and low nutrients, the microorganisms in hadal trenches may have unique community structure with potential for biotechnical application. Compared with bacteria and archaea, the diversity and ecological roles of fungi in hadal trenches remain largely unknown. The purpose of this study was to explore fungal diversity in deep-sea sediments of the Yap trench and their denitrification potential. In the present study, a total of 106 fungal strains were isolated from six sediment samples collected in the East Yap Trench. These fungi belonged to five classes (Dothideomycetes, Eurotiomycetes, Sordariomycetes, Cystobasidiomycetes, and Microbotryomycetes), thirteen genera (Acremonium, Alternaria, Aureobasidium, Aspergillus, Cladosporium, Cystobasidium, Engyodontium, Gliomastix, Lecanicillium, Penicillium, Phoma, Rhodotorula and Trichoderma) and eighteen species, based on morphological identification and ITS-rDNA sequence analysis. Among them, the dominant genus is Cladosporium, which accounting for 42.45% of the total fungal strains. Meanwhile, the denitrification potential of the fungal strains was also examined with two different denitrifying media (nitrate and nitrite as sole substrate, respectively). Two fungal strains (Acremonium sp. and Aspergillus versicolor), were found to be able to produce N2O ex situ in the presence of nitrite. No fungus was found to produce N2O by using nitrate. Our results suggest that fungi in hadal sediments, play important roles in nitrogen cycles.  相似文献

One of the big operational problems facing laboratories today is the ability to rapidly distinguish between strains of bacteria that, while physiologically distinct, are nearly impossible to separate based on 16S rRNA gene sequence differences. Here we demonstrate that ITS-DGGE provides a convenient approach to distinguishing between closely related strains of Shewanella, some of which were impossible to separate and identify by 16 rRNA gene sequence alone. Examined Shewanella genomes contain 8-11 copies of rrn (ribosomal RNA gene) operons, and variable size and sequence of 16S-23S ITS (intergenic transcribed spacer) regions which result in distinct ITS-DGGE profiles. Phylogenetic constructions based on ITS are congruent with the genomic trees generated from concatenated core genes as well as with those based on conserved indels, suggesting that ITS patterns appear to be linked with evolutionary lineages and physiology. In addition, three new Shewanella strains (MFC 2, MFC 6, and MFC 14) were isolated from microbial fuel cells enriched from wastewater sludge and identified by ITS-DGGE. Subsequent physiological and electrochemical studies of the three isolates confirmed that each strain is phenotypically/genotypically distinct. Thus, this study validates ITS-DGGE as a quick fingerprint approach to identifying and distinguishing between closely related but novel Shewanella ecotypes.  相似文献

Shewanella spp. are a group of facultative anaerobic bacteria widely distributed in marine and freshwater environments. In this study, we profiled the central metabolic fluxes of eight recently sequenced Shewanella species grown under the same condition in minimal medium with [3‐13C] lactate. Although the tested Shewanella species had slightly different growth rates (0.23–0.29 h?1) and produced different amounts of acetate and pyruvate during early exponential growth (pseudo‐steady state), the relative intracellular metabolic flux distributions were remarkably similar. This result indicates that Shewanella species share similar regulation in regard to central carbon metabolic fluxes under steady growth conditions: the maintenance of metabolic robustness is not only evident in a single species under genetic perturbations (Fischer and Sauer, 2005; Nat Genet 37(6):636–640), but also observed through evolutionary related microbial species. This remarkable conservation of relative flux profiles through phylogenetic differences prompts us to introduce the concept of metabotype as an alternative scheme to classify microbial fluxomics. On the other hand, Shewanella spp. display flexibility in the relative flux profiles when switching their metabolism from consuming lactate to consuming pyruvate and acetate. Biotechnol.

To examine whether dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) from deep-sea bacteria has undergone molecular evolution to adapt to high-pressure environments, we cloned eight DHFRs from Shewanella species living in deep-sea and ambient atmospheric-pressure environments, and subsequently purified six proteins to compare their structures, stabilities, and functions. The DHFRs showed 74–90% identity in primary structure to DHFR from S. violacea, but only 55% identity to DHFR from Escherichia coli (ecDHFR). Far-ultraviolet circular dichroism and fluorescence spectra suggested that the secondary and tertiary structures of these DHFRs were similar. In addition, no significant differences were found in structural stability as monitored by urea-induced unfolding and the kinetic parameters, K m and k cat; although the DHFRs from Shewanella species were less stable and more active (2- to 4-fold increases in k cat/K m) than ecDHFR. Interestingly, the pressure effects on enzyme activity revealed that DHFRs from ambient-atmospheric species are not necessarily incompatible with high pressure, and DHFRs from deep-sea species are not necessarily tolerant of high pressure. These results suggest that the DHFR molecule itself has not evolved to adapt to high-pressure environments, but rather, those Shewanella species with enzymes capable of retaining functional activity under high pressure migrated into the deep-sea.  相似文献

Lipids of ten Shewanella frigidimarina strains isolated from sea ice samples of coastal areas of the Sea of Japan and of the type strains of psychrophilic bacteria S. frigidimarina ACAM 591T and S. hanedai JCM 20706T were analyzed. Most of the new isolates contained isoprenoid quinones typical of the genus Shewanella (Q-7, Q-8, MK-7, and MMK-7), a high level of branched acids (i-13:0 and i-15:0), and polyunsaturated fatty acid (20:5 ω3). Phospholipid fractions of marine isolates and the type strain S. frigidimarina ACAM 591T contained not only the main phospholipids (phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, and diphosphatidylglycerol), but also an unknown phosphoaminolipid, which is probably typical of this bacterial species. The isolates exhibited a high level of phylogenetic similarity but were phenotypically heterogeneous. Two strains distinguished by their phenotypic characteristics differed also in the composition of fatty acids, isoprenoid quinones, and phospholipids. The use of chemotaxonomic markers for primary species identification of psychrophilic bacteria of the genus Shewanella is discussed.  相似文献

Dramatic changes have occurred in the Arctic Ocean over the past few decades, especially in terms of sea ice loss and ocean warming. Those environmental changes may modify the planktonic ecosystem with changes from lower to upper trophic levels. This study aimed to understand how the biogeographic distribution of a crucial endemic copepod species, Calanus glacialis, may respond to both abiotic (ocean temperature) and biotic (phytoplankton prey) drivers. A copepod individual‐based model coupled to an ice‐ocean‐biogeochemical model was utilized to simulate temperature‐ and food‐dependent life cycle development of C. glacialis annually from 1980 to 2014. Over the 35‐year study period, the northern boundaries of modeled diapausing C. glacialis expanded poleward and the annual success rates of C. glacialis individuals attaining diapause in a circumpolar transition zone increased substantially. Those patterns could be explained by a lengthening growth season (during which time food is ample) and shortening critical development time (the period from the first feeding stage N3 to the diapausing stage C4). The biogeographic changes were further linked to large‐scale oceanic processes, particularly diminishing sea ice cover, upper ocean warming, and increasing and prolonging food availability, which could have potential consequences to the entire Arctic shelf/slope marine ecosystems.  相似文献

Microbial Diversity at a Deep-Sea Station of the Pacific Nodule Province   总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4  
The Pacific nodule province covers about 4.5 million km2 in the eastern tropical Pacific with abundance of polymetallic nodules. Microbes are believed to play large roles in the metal cycling in many environments, but the microbial community in the Pacific nodule province has never been studied. Phylogenetic studies based on 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, together with bacterial cultivation were used to study the microbial populations in the Pacific nodule province (A core) deep-sea sediment. Bacterial 16S rRNA gene sequence analysisdemonstrated that Proteobacteria division mainly of γ-Proteobacteria dominated the microbial community of the nodule province A core. Among the γ-Proteobacteria, Shewanella species which were known as Fe(□), Mn(□) reducing bacteria were found prevalent. Besides Proteobacteria, Green nonsulfur bacteria, the candidate subdivision OP3, Cytophaga-Flexibacter-Bacteroides bacteria and novel unidentified strains were also detected. Archaeal 16S rDNA sequence analysis data and results from hybridization with crenarchaeotal marine group I specific probe revealed that all archaea detected at the station belong to Crenarchaeota nonthermophilic marinegroup I. Bacteria assigned to the gamma Proteobacteria wereisolated, none of them showed capability of manganese oxidation. These authors contributed equally to this paper.  相似文献

Bacteria of the genus Shewanella can thrive in different environments and demonstrate significant variability in their metabolic and ecophysiological capabilities including cold and salt tolerance. Genomic characteristics underlying this variability across species are largely unknown. In this study, we address the problem by a comparison of the physiological, metabolic, and genomic characteristics of 19 sequenced Shewanella species. We have employed two novel approaches based on association of a phenotypic trait with the number of the trait-specific protein families (Pfam domains) and on the conservation of synteny (order in the genome) of the trait-related genes. Our first approach is top-down and involves experimental evaluation and quantification of the species?? cold tolerance followed by identification of the correlated Pfam domains and genes with a conserved synteny. The second, a bottom-up approach, predicts novel phenotypes of the species by calculating profiles of each Pfam domain among their genomes and following pair-wise correlation of the profiles and their network clustering. Using the first approach, we find a link between cold and salt tolerance of the species and the presence in the genome of a Na+/H+ antiporter gene cluster. Other cold-tolerance-related genes include peptidases, chemotaxis sensory transducer proteins, a cysteine exporter, and helicases. Using the bottom-up approach, we found several novel phenotypes in the newly sequenced Shewanella species, including degradation of aromatic compounds by an aerobic hybrid pathway in Shewanella woodyi, degradation of ethanolamine by Shewanella benthica, and propanediol degradation by Shewanella putrefaciens CN32 and Shewanella sp.
