However, despite the extensive knowledge on the involved molecules and the biological processes controlled by QS in a few selected Vibrio strains, less is known about the overall diversity of AHLs produced by a broader range of environmental strains. To investigate the prevalence of QS capability of Vibrio environmental strains we analyzed 87 Vibrio spp. strains from the Banyuls Bacterial Culture Collection (WDCM911) for their ability to produce AHLs.

GENERAL DISCUSSION 93 SUMMARY 103 REFERENCES 105 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS 128 DECLARATION 131 INTRODUCTION INTRODUCTION Region in focus: The North Sea The North Sea is a semi-enclosed shelf sea, which stretches between the Northern European mainland and the Atlantic Ocean. It has an average depth of 95 m with a maximum of 750 m in the south of Norway. The average water temperature is 6°C in winter and 17°C in summer. North Sea water has a salinity of 34 – 35, but the salinity around river discharges is much lower (MUMM, 2000, Howarth, 2001). The North Sea is constantly in motion in response to tides, wind and the inflow of Atlantic Ocean water or freshwater, with tides representing the strongest influence.

  • Vibrio Fortis Sp. Nov. and Vibrio Hepatarius Sp. Nov., Isolated from Aquatic Animals and the Marine Environment

Thompson Ledeganckstraat 35, Ghent 9000, Belgium [email protected] 3National Center for Marine and Aquaculture Research, Guayaquil, Ecuador In this study, the taxonomic positions of 19 Vibrio isolates disclosed in a previous study were evaluated. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rDNA sequences partitioned these isolates into groups that were closely related (98?8–99?1 % similarity) to Vibrio pelagius and Vibrio xuii, respectively. DNA–DNA hybridization experiments further showed that these groups had <70 % similarity to other Vibrio species. Two novel Vibrio species are proposed to accommodate these groups: Vibrio fortis sp. nov. (type strain, LMG 21557T=CAIM 629T) and Vibrio hepatarius sp. nov. (type strain, LMG 20362T=CAIM 693T). The DNA G+C content of both novel species is 45?6 mol%. Useful phenotypic features for discriminating V. fortis and V. hepatarius from other Vibrio species include production of indole and acetoin, utilization of cellobiose, fermentation of amygdalin, melibiose and mannitol, b-galactosidase and tryptophan deaminase activities and fatty acid composition.

  • Bacterial Secretion of D-Arginine Controls Environmental Microbial Biodiversity
    The ISME Journal (2018) 12, 438–450 © 2018 International Society for Microbial Ecology All rights reserved 1751-7362/18 www.nature.com/ismej ORIGINAL ARTICLE Bacterial secretion of D-arginine controls environmental microbial biodiversity Laura Alvarez1, Alena Aliashkevich1, Miguel A de Pedro2 and Felipe Cava1 1Department of Molecular Biology, Laboratory for Molecular Infection Medicine Sweden, Umeå Centre for Microbial Research, Umeå University, Umeå, Sweden and 2Centro de Biología Molecular ‘Severo Ochoa’, Universidad Autónoma de Madrid-Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas, Madrid, Spain Bacteria face tough competition in polymicrobial communities. To persist in a specific niche, many species produce toxic extracellular effectors to interfere with the growth of nearby microbes. These effectors include the recently reported non-canonical D-amino acids (NCDAAs). In Vibrio cholerae, the causative agent of cholera, NCDAAs control cell wall integrity in stationary phase. Here, an analysis of the composition of the extracellular medium of V. cholerae revealed the unprecedented presence of D-Arg. Compared with other D-amino acids, D-Arg displayed higher potency and broader toxicity in terms of the number of bacterial species affected. Tolerance to D-Arg was associated with mutations in the phosphate transport and chaperone systems, whereas D-Met lethality was suppressed by mutations in cell wall determinants. These observations suggest that NCDAAs target different cellular processes. Finally, even though virtually all Vibrio species are tolerant to D-Arg, only a few can produce this D-amino acid. Indeed, we demonstrate that D-Arg may function as part of a cooperative strategy in vibrio communities to protect non-producing members from competing bacteria.

Tel. ­886 2 23636040 ext. 417 Fax: ­886 2 23626092. e-mail: winyang!ms.cc.ntu.edu.tw Institute of Oceanography, A mesophilic, facultatively anaerobic, marine bacterium, designated strain National Taiwan FG1T, was isolated from a seagrass bed sediment sample collected from University, PO Box 23-13, Taipei, Taiwan Nanwan Bay, Kenting National Park, Taiwan. Cells grown in broth cultures were motile, Gram-negative rods; motility was normally achieved by two sheathed flagella at one pole of the cell. Strain FG1T required NaM for growth, and exhibited optimal growth at 30–35 SC, pH 6–7 and about 4% NaCl. It grew anaerobically by fermenting glucose and other carbohydrates with production of various organic acids, including acetate, lactate, formate, malate, oxaloacetate, propionate, pyruvate and succinate, and the gases CO2 and H2. The strain did not require either vitamins or other organic growth factors for growth. Its DNA GMC content was 45<9 mol%. It contained C12:0 as the most abundant cellular fatty acid. Characterization data, together with the results of a 16S rDNA-based phylogenetic analysis, indicate that strain FG1T represents a new species of the genus Vibrio. Thus, the name Vibrio aerogenes sp. nov. is proposed for this new bacterium. The type strain is FG1T (¯ ATCC 700797T ¯ CCRC 17041T). Keywords: Vibrio aerogenes sp.

Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that these marine bacteria were closely related to the recently described species Vibrio comitans, Vibrio rarus and Vibrio inusitatus (¢99.0 % sequence similarity). Phylogenetic analysis based on the housekeeping genes rpoA, recA and atpA grouped the isolates together and allocated them to the Vibrio halioticoli species group. Amplified fragment length polymorphism DNA fingerprinting also grouped them together and enabled them to be differentiated from recognized species of the V. halioticoli clade. DNA–DNA hybridizations showed that the isolates belonged to a novel species; phenotypic features such as the ability to grow at 4 6C and in the presence of 6 % NaCl also enabled them to be separated from other species. The DNA G+C content of RD 15.11T is 44.4 mol%. The genotypic and phenotypic data showed that the isolates represent a novel species in the V.

Colwell, April 15, 2015 (sent for review September 5, 2014; reviewed by John Allen Baross, Richard E. Lenski, and Carla Pruzzo) Vibrio species are both ubiquitous and abundant in marine coastal of vibrios, and suggested Vibrio populations generally comprise waters, estuaries, ocean sediment, and aquaculture settings world- approximately 1% (by molecular techniques) of the total bac- wide. We report here the isolation, characterization, and genome terioplankton in estuaries (19), in contrast to culture-based studies sequence of a novel Vibrio species, Vibrio antiquarius, isolated from demonstrating that vibrios can comprise up to 10% of culturable a mesophilic bacterial community associated with hydrothermal marine bacteria (20).

These strains have all of the properties that define the genus Vibrio and can be clearly differentiated from other species by their positive responses in tests for Thornley's arginine dihydrolase, gas production from glucose, growth in media containing 10% NaCl, and acid production from sucrose, L-arabinose, D-xylose, and D-cellobiose and their negative responses in tests for lysine decarboxylase, the Voges-Proskauer reaction, growth without NaCl and at 40°C, hydrolysis of gelatin, casein, starch, DNA, and alginate, and acid production from D-mannose. The G+C ratio of the DNA is 45 to 46 mol%. The name Vibriu mytili is proposed for the new species; strain 165 (= CECT 632) is the type strain.
