Koukkou, email: [email protected] Arthrobacter phenanthrenivorans is the type species of the genus, and is able to metabolize phenanthrene as a sole source of carbon and energy. A. phenanthrenivorans is an aerobic, non-motile, and Gram-positive bacterium, exhibiting a rod-coccus growth cycle which was originally isolated from a creosote polluted site in Epirus, Greece. Here we describe the fea- tures of this organism, together with the complete genome sequence, and annotation. Keywords: Arthrobacter, dioxygenases, PAH biodegradation, phenanthrene degradation.

AMB Expr (2020) 10:69 https://doi.org/10.1186/s13568-020-01008-4 ORIGINAL ARTICLE Open Access Ameliorating process parameters for zeaxanthin yield in Arthrobacter gandavensis MTCC 25325 Shristi Ram1,2, Sushma Rani Tirkey1,2, Madhava Anil Kumar1,3 and Sandhya Mishra1,2* Abstract The present study aims to escalate the production of prophylactic agent zeaxanthin using a screened potential bacterial isolate. For this purpose, a freshwater bacterium capable of producing zeaxanthin was isolated from Bor Talav, Bhavnagar. The 16S rRNA sequence confrmed the isolate as Arthrobacter gandavensis. The bacterium was also submitted to Microbial Type Culture Collection, CSIR-Institute of Microbial Technology, Chandigarh, India, with the accession number MTCC 25325. The chemo-metric tools were employed to optimise the infuencing factors such as pH, temperature, inoculum size, agitation speed, carbon source and harvest time on zeaxanthin yield. Thereafter, six parameters were narrowed down to three factors and were optimised using the central composite design (CCD) matrix. Maximum zeaxanthin (1.51 mg/g) was derived when A. gandavensis MTCC 25325 was grown under pH 6.0, 1.5% (w/v) glucose and 10% (v/v) inoculum size. A high regression coefcient (R2 0.92) of the developed model indicated the accurateness of the tested parameters. To the best of our knowledge,= this is the frst report on tailoring the process parameters using chemo-metric optimisation for escalating the zeaxanthin production by A. gandavensis MTCC 25325. Keywords: Arthrobacter gandavensis MTCC 25325, Central composite design, Nutraceutical, Zeaxanthin Key points Introduction Te pursuit of alternative sources as functional food (that • Chemo-metric approach was used for optimising serves the dual purpose of nutrition and diet) has led to zeaxanthin production.

However, the knowledge of culturable bacterial communities found in this extreme ecotope’s soil is yet insufficient. Therefore, our research has been aimed to fulfil this lack of knowledge and improve the understanding of functioning of edaphic bacterial communities of the Central Mojave Desert soil. We characterized aerobic heterotrophic soil bacterial communities of the central region of the Mojave Desert. A high total number of prokaryotic cells and a high proportion of culturable forms in the soil studied were observed. Prevalence of Actinobacteria, Proteobacteria, and Firmicutes was discovered. The dominance of pigmented strains in culturable communities and high proportion of thermotolerant and pH-tolerant bacteria were detected. Resistance to a number of salts, including the ones found in Martian regolith, as well as antibiotic resistance, were also estimated.

Abstract: Recent decades have predicted significant changes within our concept of plant endophytes, from only a small number specific microorganisms being able to colonize plant tissues, to whole communities that live and interact with their hosts and each other. Many of these microorganisms are responsible for health status of the plant, and have become known in recent years as plant probiotics. Contrary to human probiotics, they belong to many different phyla and have usually had each genus analysed independently, which has resulted in lack of a complete taxonomic analysis as a group. This review scrutinizes the plant probiotic concept, and the taxonomic status of plant probiotic bacteria, based on both traditional and more recent approaches. Phylogenomic studies and genes with implications in plant-beneficial effects are discussed. This report covers some representative probiotic bacteria of the phylum Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria, Firmicutes and Bacteroidetes, but also includes minor representatives and less studied groups within these phyla which have been identified as plant probiotics.

Read Full License Page 1/17 Abstract Background: The Arthrobacter group is a known isolate from cold areas, the species of which are highly likely to play diverse roles in low temperatures. However, their role and survival mechanisms in cold regions such as Antarctica are not yet fully understood. In this study, we compared the genomes of sixteen strains within the Arthrobacter group, including strain PAMC25564, to identify genomic features that adapt and survive life in the cold environment. Results: The genome of Arthrobacter sp. PAMC25564 comprised 4,170,970 bp with 66.74 % GC content, a predicted genomic island, and 3,829 genes. This study provides an insight into the redundancy of CAZymes for potential cold adaptation and suggests that the isolate has glycogen, trehalose, and maltodextrin pathways associated to CAZyme genes. This strain can utilize polysaccharide or carbohydrate degradation as a source of energy. Moreover, this study provides a foundation on which to understand how the Arthrobacter strain produces energy in an extreme environment, and the genetic pattern analysis of CAZymes in cold-adapted bacteria can help to determine how bacteria adapt and survive in such environments.

BMC Biotechnology (2021) 21:7 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12896-021-00668-9 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Different genome-wide transcriptome responses of Nocardioides simplex VKM Ac- 2033D to phytosterol and cortisone 21- acetate Victoria Yu Shtratnikova1* , Mikhail I. Sсhelkunov2,3 , Victoria V. Fokina4,5 , Eugeny Y. Bragin4 , Andrey A. Shutov 4,5 and Marina V. Donova4,5 Abstract Background: Bacterial degradation/transformation of steroids is widely investigated to create biotechnologically relevant strains for industrial application. The strain of Nocardioides simplex VKM Ac-2033D is well known mainly for its superior 3-ketosteroid Δ1-dehydrogenase activity towards various 3-oxosteroids and other important reactions of sterol degradation. However, its biocatalytic capacities and the molecular fundamentals of its activity towards natural sterols and synthetic steroids were not fully understood. In this study, a comparative investigation of the genome-wide transcriptome profiling of the N. simplex VKM Ac-2033D grown on phytosterol, or in the presence of cortisone 21-acetate was performed with RNA-seq. Results: Although the gene patterns induced by phytosterol generally resemble the gene sets involved in phytosterol degradation pathways in mycolic acid rich actinobacteria such as Mycolicibacterium, Mycobacterium and Rhodococcus species, the differences in gene organization and previously unreported genes with high expression level were revealed. Transcription of the genes related to KstR- and KstR2-regulons was mainly enhanced in response to phytosterol, and the role in steroid catabolism is predicted for some dozens of the genes in N. simplex. New transcription factors binding motifs and new candidate transcription regulators of steroid catabolism were predicted in N.

Identification of bacterial isolates was done using MALDI-TOF MS (matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometer) and the results compared to 16S rRNA sequence analysis. A total of 203 isolates were recovered from the nasal passages of 63 dogs. The 203 isolates belonged to 58 bacterial species. The predominant genera were Streptococcus and Staphylococcus, followed by Corynebacterium, Rothia, and Carnobacterium. The species most commonly isolated were Streptococcus pluranimalium and Staphylococcus pseudointermedius, followed by Rothia nasimurium, Carnobacterium inhibens, and Staphylococcus epidermidis. Many of the other bacterial species were infrequently isolated from nasal passages, accounting for one or two dogs in the study. MALDI-TOF identified certain groups of bacteria, specifically non-spore-forming, catalase- positive, gram-positive cocci, but was less reliable in identifying non-spore-forming, catalase- negative, gram-positive rods. This study showed that MALDI-TOF can be used for identifying “clinically relevant” bacteria, but many times failed to identify less important species.

However, defining important genomic traits of psychrophiles has proven difficult, with the ability to extrapolate genomic knowledge to environmental relevance proving even more difficult. Results: Here we examined the bacterial genus Arthrobacter and, assisted by genome sequences of new Tibetan Plateau isolates, defined a new clade, Group C, that represents isolates from polar and alpine environments. Group C had a superior ability to grow at −1°C and possessed genome G+C content, amino acid composition, predicted protein stability, and functional capacities (e.g., sulfur metabolism and mycothiol biosynthesis) that distinguished it from non-polar or alpine Group A Arthrobacter. Interrogation of nearly 1000 metagenomes identified an over- representation of Group C in Canadian permafrost communities from a simulated spring-thaw experiment, indicative of niche adaptation, and an under-representation of Group A in all polar and alpine samples, indicative of a general response to environmental temperature. Conclusion: The findings illustrate a capacity to define genomic markers of specific taxa that potentially have value for environmental monitoring of cold environments, including environmental change arising from anthropogenic impact.
