Complete Genome Sequence of Pseudomonas Alcaliphila JAB1 Ridl et al. Standards in Genomic Sciences (2018) 13:3 DOI 10.1186/s40793-017-0306-7 EXTENDED GENOME REPORT Open Access Complete genome sequence of Pseudomonas alcaliphila JAB1 (=DSM 26533), a versatile degrader of organic pollutants Jakub Ridl1†, Jachym Suman2†, Serena Fraraccio2, Miluse Hradilova1, Michal Strejcek2, Tomas Cajthaml3, Andrea Zubrova2, Tomas Macek2, Hynek Strnad1* and Ondrej Uhlik2* Abstract In this study, following its isolation from contaminated soil, the genomic sequence of Pseudomonas alcaliphila strain JAB1 (=DSM 26533), a biphenyl-degrading bacterium, is reported and analyzed in relation to its extensive degradative capabilities. The P. alcaliphila JAB1 genome (GenBank accession no. CP016162) consists of a single 5.34 Mbp-long chromosome with a GC content of 62.5%. Gene function was assigned to 3816 of the 4908 predicted genes. The genome harbors a bph gene cluster, permitting degradation of biphenyl and many congeners of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), a ben gene cluster, enabling benzoate and its derivatives to be degraded, and phe gene cluster, which permits phenol degradation. In addition, P. alcaliphila JAB1 is capable of cometabolically degrading cis-1,2-dichloroethylene (cDCE) when grown on phenol. The strain carries both catechol and protocatechuate branches of the β-ketoadipate pathway, which is used to funnel the pollutants to the central metabolism. Furthermore, we propose that clustering of MALDI-TOF MS spectra with closest phylogenetic relatives should be used when taxonomically classifying the isolated bacterium; this, together with 16S rRNA gene sequence and chemotaxonomic data analyses, enables more precise identification of the culture at the species level.

  • Aquatic Microbial Ecology 80:15
    The following supplement accompanies the article Isolates as models to study bacterial ecophysiology and biogeochemistry Åke Hagström*, Farooq Azam, Carlo Berg, Ulla Li Zweifel *Corresponding author: [email protected] Aquatic Microbial Ecology 80: 15–27 (2017) Supplementary Materials & Methods The bacteria characterized in this study were collected from sites at three different sea areas; the Northern Baltic Sea (63°30’N, 19°48’E), Northwest Mediterranean Sea (43°41'N, 7°19'E) and Southern California Bight (32°53'N, 117°15'W). Seawater was spread onto Zobell agar plates or marine agar plates (DIFCO) and incubated at in situ temperature. Colonies were picked and plate- purified before being frozen in liquid medium with 20% glycerol. The collection represents aerobic heterotrophic bacteria from pelagic waters. Bacteria were grown in media according to their physiological needs of salinity. Isolates from the Baltic Sea were grown on Zobell media (ZoBELL, 1941) (800 ml filtered seawater from the Baltic, 200 ml Milli-Q water, 5g Bacto-peptone, 1g Bacto-yeast extract). Isolates from the Mediterranean Sea and the Southern California Bight were grown on marine agar or marine broth (DIFCO laboratories). The optimal temperature for growth was determined by growing each isolate in 4ml of appropriate media at 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45 and 50o C with gentle shaking. Growth was measured by an increase in absorbance at 550nm. Statistical analyses The influence of temperature, geographical origin and taxonomic affiliation on growth rates was assessed by a two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) in R (http://www.r-project.org/) and the “car” package.

Affiliations: 5 1School of Life Sciences, University of Lincoln, LN6 7DL, UK. 2School of Mathematics, University of Birmingham, B15 2TT, UK. *Correspondence to: [email protected] Abstract: Curved-rods are a ubiquitous bacterial phenotype, but the fundamental question of 10 why they are shaped this way remains unanswered. Through in silico experiments, we assessed freely swimming curved-rod bacteria of a wide diversity of equal-volume shapes parameterized by elongation and curvature, and predicted their performances in tasks likely to strongly influence overall fitness. Performance tradeoffs between these tasks lead to a range of shapes that are Pareto-optimal, and comparison with an extensive morphological survey of motile 15 curved-rod bacteria indicates that nearly all species fall within the Pareto-optimal region of morphospace. This result is consistent with evolutionary tradeoffs between just three tasks: swimming efficiency, chemotaxis, and cell construction cost. We thus reveal the underlying selective pressures driving morphological diversity in a wide-spread component of microbial ecosystems. 20 One Sentence Summary: Diverse cell shapes are explained by trade-offs between construction cost, swimming efficiency, and chemotaxis. Main Text: Curved rods comprise up to a quarter of bacteria recorded in the oceans (1), sometimes outnumbering straight rods (2), and are commonly present in most other habitats (3–7).

  • Identification of Oligotrophic Bacteria Bearing Class 1 Integron
    Chapter 3 Identification ofOligotrophic Bacteria bearing Class 1 integron [A]: Identification of isolates using basic approaches 3A.l. Background Scientific naming of organisms dates back to 181h century. A famous Swedish botanist, Carolus Lin naeus, also call ed as "Father of taxonomy", proposed binomial nomenclature, the system that is still used today to name all living things. In addition to binomial system of nomenclature, Linnaeus also propounded a hierarchy of taxonomic ranks: species, genus, family, order, class, phylum or division, and kingdom. An order of taxonomic hierarchy from larger to smaller taxon is shown in Fig. 3.1. The overall philosophy of Linnaeus is also adapted in classifying bacteria as well. The Bacterial taxonomy or systematics is generally defined as "the branch of bacteriology that deals characterization and naming of organism and organizing them into groups". It can be separated into three branches- ( a) nomenclature: namingofbacteria (b) classification: grouping of bacteria sharing common properties (c) identification: to determine bacterial genus followed by species "Bergey's Manual of Determinative Bacteriology", coming to existence in late 1957, published reports relating to the identification of bacteria largely based on Artificial classification and Numerical taxonomy: Artificial classification is based on the characteristics expressed by bacteria that we observe, and results generated increases the accuracy with which we can detect similarities among them and the organizing of these data in a special

  • Genomic Characterization of a Polyvalent Hydrocarbonoclastic Bacterium Pseudomonas Sp. Strain BUN14

Cowan4 & Ameur Cherif1* Bioremediation ofers a viable alternative for the reduction of contaminants from the environment, particularly petroleum and its recalcitrant derivatives. In this study, the ability of a strain of Pseudomonas BUN14 to degrade crude oil, pristane and dioxin compounds, and to produce biosurfactants, was investigated. BUN14 is a halotolerant strain isolated from polluted sediment recovered from the refnery harbor on the Bizerte coast, north Tunisia and capable of producing surfactants. The strain BUN14 was assembled into 22 contigs of 4,898,053 bp with a mean GC content of 62.4%. Whole genome phylogeny and comparative genome analyses showed that strain BUN14 could be afliated with two validly described Pseudomonas Type Strains, P. kunmingensis DSM 25974T and P. chloritidismutans AW-1T. The current study, however, revealed that the two Type Strains are probably conspecifc and, given the priority of the latter, we proposed that P. kunmingensis DSM 25974 is a heteronym of P. chloritidismutans AW-1T. Using GC-FID analysis, we determined that BUN14 was able to use a range of hydrocarbons (crude oil, pristane, dibenzofuran, dibenzothiophene, naphthalene) as a sole carbon source. Genome analysis of BUN14 revealed the presence of a large repertoire of proteins (154) related to xenobiotic biodegradation and metabolism. Thus, 44 proteins were linked to the pathways for complete degradation of benzoate and naphthalene. The annotation of conserved functional domains led to the detection of putative genes encoding enzymes of the rhamnolipid biosynthesis pathway.
