Zabolotny Institute of Microbiology and Virology of the Academy of Sciences of the Ukrainian SSR, 252143, Kiev, USSR Two groups of bacteria isolated from natural substrates were assigned to the genus Rhodococcus Zopf 1891, emend. Goodfellow and Alderson 1977. We propose the name Rhodococcus luteus nom. nov. for the first group, which corresponds to the description of the organism previously known as “Mycobacte- rium luteurn” Sohngen 1913. The type strain of R. luteus is IMV 385 (= AUCNM A-594). The name proposed for the second group of strains, which corresponds to the description of the organism previously known as “Flavobacterium maris” Harrison 1929, is Rhodococcus maris nom. nov. The type strain of R. rnaris is IMV 195 (= AUCNM A-593). The properties of the two species are described, and the characters useful for the identification of the species are given.

Actinobacteria of the genus Rhodococcus, typical soil and aquatic biotope inhabitants, are characterized by high ecological plasticity and a wide range of oxidized organic substrates, including hydrocarbons and their derivatives. Their cell adaptations, such as the ability of adhering and colonizing surfaces, a complex life cycle, formation of resting cells and capsule-like structures, diauxotrophy, and a rigid cell wall, developed against the negative effects of anthropogenic pollutants are discussed and the risks of possible pathogenization of free-living saprotrophic Rhodococcus species are proposed. Due to universal adaptation features, Rhodococcus species are among the candidates, if further anthropogenic pressure increases, to move into the group of potentially pathogenic organisms with “unprofessional” parasitism, and to join an expanding list of infectious agents as facultative or occasional parasites.

The organism was found to have a wide substrate range, with activity against aliphatics, aromatics, and aryl aliphatics, and enantioselectivity towards beta substituted nitriles and beta amino nitriles, compounds that have potential applications in the pharmaceutical industry. This makes R. rhodochrous ATCC BAA-870 potentially a versatile biocatalyst for the synthesis of a broad range of compounds with amide and carboxylic acid groups that can be derived from structurally related nitrile precursors. The selectivity of biocatalysts allows for high product yields and better atom economyn than non- selective chemical methods of performing this reaction, suchow as acid or base hydrolysis.

  • Rhodococcus Erythropolis Mtht3 Biotransforms Ergopeptines To
    Thamhesl et al. BMC Microbiology (2015) 15:73 DOI 10.1186/s12866-015-0407-7 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Rhodococcus erythropolis MTHt3 biotransforms ergopeptines to lysergic acid Michaela Thamhesl1, Elisabeth Apfelthaler2, Heidi Elisabeth Schwartz-Zimmermann2, Elisavet Kunz-Vekiru2, Rudolf Krska2, Wolfgang Kneifel3, Gerd Schatzmayr1 and Wulf-Dieter Moll1* Abstract Background: Ergopeptines are a predominant class of ergot alkaloids produced by tall fescue grass endophyte Neotyphodium coenophialum or cereal pathogen Claviceps purpurea. The vasoconstrictive activity of ergopeptines makes them toxic for mammals, and they can be a problem in animal husbandry. Results: We isolated an ergopeptine degrading bacterial strain, MTHt3, and classified it, based on its 16S rDNA sequence, as a strain of Rhodococcus erythropolis (Nocardiaceae, Actinobacteria). For strain isolation, mixed microbial cultures were obtained from artificially ergot alkaloid-enriched soil, and provided with the ergopeptine ergotamine in mineral medium for enrichment. Individual colonies derived from such mixed cultures were screened for ergota- mine degradation by high performance liquid chromatography and fluorescence detection. R. erythropolis MTHt3 converted ergotamine to ergine (lysergic acid amide) and further to lysergic acid, which accumulated as an end product. No other tested R. erythropolis strain degraded ergotamine. R. erythropolis MTHt3 degraded all ergopeptines found in an ergot extract, namely ergotamine, ergovaline, ergocristine, ergocryptine, ergocornine, and ergosine, but the simpler lysergic acid derivatives agroclavine, chanoclavine, and ergometrine were not degraded. Temperature and pH dependence of ergotamine and ergine bioconversion activity was different for the two reactions. Conclusions: Degradation of ergopeptines to ergine is a previously unknown microbial reaction. The reaction end product, lysergic acid, has no or much lower vasoconstrictive activity than ergopeptines.

Furthermore, previous research has been done at the benchtop scale, and extrapolating these numbers to industrial scale is questionable.

  • Phylogeny and Evolution of Gall-Associated Plant Pathogenic Bacteria
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION OF Edward W. Davis II for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Molecular and Cellular Biology presented on June 7, 2017. Title: Phylogeny and Evolution of Gall-Associated Plant Pathogenic Bacteria. Abstract approved: ______________________________________________________ Jeff H. Chang Gall-associated phytopathogens have unique evolutionary histories that have shaped both their modes of infection and genomic structures. Pathogenicity of the gall- associated plant pathogens of the Rhodococcus, Agrobacterium, and Rathayibacter genera is mediated by horizontally acquired virulence loci. The relative ease of gain and loss of the virulence loci has confounded accurate characterization of these bacteria, especially those characterizations made prior to the use of molecular markers for genotyping. Work presented in this thesis uses whole genome guided approaches to discern the intra- and inter- species genetic diversity in the three genera described. Rhodococcus fascians is the causal agent of leafy gall disease. We tested the hypothesis that R. fascians is comprised of a single species level group and show that two distinct clades with up to six species level groups are able to cause symptoms consistent with leafy gall disease. These data reveal previously unknown chromosomal diversity within this group of phytopathogenic bacteria. Four lines of evidence that make use of whole genome sequences indicate that the species are acted on by distinct selective pressures and have unique evolutionary histories. Further, a set of horizontally acquired virulence loci is correlated with the pathogenic phenotype, regardless of chromosomal lineage. These data suggest that delimitation of phytopathogenic Rhodococcus isolates requires careful consideration with respect to both the chromosomal genotype as well as the presence of virulence loci.

Pre-pilot-scale fermentations (20-30L) of Rhodococcus rhodochrous DAP 96253 were employed as a research tool with the goal of producing a practical biological agent for field-scale application for the management of white-nose syndrome (WNS) in bats and post-harvest fungal losses in several fruit varieties. Several key parameters within the bioreactor were evaluated for the potential to increase production efficiency as well as activity of the biocatalyst.

Borisova December 2011 ____________________ Dr. Bert Lampson, Chair Dr. Ranjan Chakraborty Dr. Phillip Scheuerman Keywords: Rhodococcus, antibiotic, bioactive compound, enrichment culture, natural product ABSTRACT Isolation of a Rhodococcus Soil Bacterium that Produces a Strong Antibacterial Compound by Ralitsa Borisova Rhodococci are notable for their ability to degrade a variety of natural and xenobiotic compounds. Recently, interest in Rhodococcus has increased due to the discovery of a large number of genes for secondary metabolism. Only a few secondary metabolites have been characterized from the rhodococci (including 3 recently described antibiotics).
