  • Kaistella Soli Sp. Nov., Isolated from Oil-Contaminated Soil
    A001 Kaistella soli sp. nov., Isolated from Oil-contaminated Soil Dhiraj Kumar Chaudhary1, Ram Hari Dahal2, Dong-Uk Kim3, and Yongseok Hong1* 1Department of Environmental Engineering, Korea University Sejong Campus, 2Department of Microbiology, School of Medicine, Kyungpook National University, 3Department of Biological Science, College of Science and Engineering, Sangji University A light yellow-colored, rod-shaped bacterial strain DKR-2T was isolated from oil-contaminated experimental soil. The strain was Gram-stain-negative, catalase and oxidase positive, and grew at temperature 10–35°C, at pH 6.0– 9.0, and at 0–1.5% (w/v) NaCl concentration. The phylogenetic analysis and 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis suggested that the strain DKR-2T was affiliated to the genus Kaistella, with the closest species being Kaistella haifensis H38T (97.6% sequence similarity). The chemotaxonomic profiles revealed the presence of phosphatidylethanolamine as the principal polar lipids;iso-C15:0, antiso-C15:0, and summed feature 9 (iso-C17:1 9c and/or C16:0 10-methyl) as the main fatty acids; and menaquinone-6 as a major menaquinone. The DNA G + C content was 39.5%. In addition, the average nucleotide identity (ANIu) and in silico DNA–DNA hybridization (dDDH) relatedness values between strain DKR-2T and phylogenically closest members were below the threshold values for species delineation. The polyphasic taxonomic features illustrated in this study clearly implied that strain DKR-2T represents a novel species in the genus Kaistella, for which the name Kaistella soli sp. nov. is proposed with the type strain DKR-2T (= KACC 22070T = NBRC 114725T).

  • Seed Interior Microbiome of Rice Genotypes Indigenous to Three
    Raj et al. BMC Genomics (2019) 20:924 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12864-019-6334-5 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Seed interior microbiome of rice genotypes indigenous to three agroecosystems of Indo-Burma biodiversity hotspot Garima Raj1*, Mohammad Shadab1, Sujata Deka1, Manashi Das1, Jilmil Baruah1, Rupjyoti Bharali2 and Narayan C. Talukdar1* Abstract Background: Seeds of plants are a confirmation of their next generation and come associated with a unique microbia community. Vertical transmission of this microbiota signifies the importance of these organisms for a healthy seedling and thus a healthier next generation for both symbionts. Seed endophytic bacterial community composition is guided by plant genotype and many environmental factors. In north-east India, within a narrow geographical region, several indigenous rice genotypes are cultivated across broad agroecosystems having standing water in fields ranging from 0-2 m during their peak growth stage. Here we tried to trap the effect of rice genotypes and agroecosystems where they are cultivated on the rice seed microbiota. We used culturable and metagenomics approaches to explore the seed endophytic bacterial diversity of seven rice genotypes (8 replicate hills) grown across three agroecosystems. Results: From seven growth media, 16 different species of culturable EB were isolated. A predictive metabolic pathway analysis of the EB showed the presence of many plant growth promoting traits such as siroheme synthesis, nitrate reduction, phosphate acquisition, etc. Vitamin B12 biosynthesis restricted to bacteria and archaea; pathways were also detected in the EB of two landraces. Analysis of 522,134 filtered metagenomic sequencing reads obtained from seed samples (n=56) gave 4061 OTUs.

Clustering was by the unweighted pair group method (UPGMA) with 12 different measures of similarity. Test error, overlap between the phena and cophenetic correla- tion coefficients for the classifications obtained with the Jaccard coefficient (SJ), the Pearson coefficient (SP), the simple-matching coefficient (SsM), and the Dice coefficient (SE,) as measures of similarity were within acceptable limits. Clusters were defined at the 55.0 to 70.5% levels (SJ). The compositions of clusters corresponded largely the delineations of 81.1 to 93.5% (SSM),29.1 to 55.0% (Se), and 55.3 to 81.1% (SD). A total of 31 major clusters (containing five or more strains), 41 minor clusters and subclusters (containing less than five strains), and 54 single-member clusters were obtained in the UPGMA/SJ study. The following conclu- sions were reached: (i) A high degree of similarity between the genera Aureobacterium, Cellulomonas, Clavibacter, Curtobacterium and Microbac- terium found in phylogenetic-based studies could be shown also pheneti- cally. Strains belonging to these genera were found in SJ clusters 1 to 45, often representing closely related, or single species.
