Aerobic bacteriochlorophyll a ─ containing Acidisphaera, Craurococcus and Paracraurococcus（alpha ─ 1）and Roseibium （alpha-2）contained spermidine and lacked homospermidine. New Rhizobium species, including some species transferred from the genera Agrobacterium and Allorhizobium, and new Sinorhizobium and Mesorhizobium species of the alpha ─ 2 subgroup contained homospermidine as a major polyamine. Homospermidine was the major polyamine in the genera Oligotropha, Carbophilus, Zavarzinia, Blastobacter, Starkeya and Rhodoblastus of the alpha ─ 2 subgroup. Rhodobaca bogoriensis of the alpha ─ 3 subgroup contained spermidine. Within the alpha ─ 4 sub- group, the genus Sphingomonas has been divided into four clusters, and species of the emended Sphingomonas（cluster I）contained homospermidine whereas those of the three newly described genera Sphingobium, Novosphingobium and Sphingopyxis（corresponding to clusters II, III and IV of the former Sphingomonas）ubiquitously contained spermidine.

This variability can be driven by both extrinsic factors like temperature, pH, etc., as well as by intrinsic ones, such as demographic fluctuations or ecologi- cal interactions. The relative contributions of these factors and the taxonomic level at which they influence community structure remain poorly understood, in part because of the difficulty of identifying true com- munity replicates assembled under the same environmental parameters. Here, we address this problem using an activated granular sludge reactor in which millimeter scale biofilm granules represent true com- munity replicates whose differences in composition are expected to be driven primarily by biotic factors.

PhoD and PhoX alkaline phosphatases and AcpA acid phosphatase are produced by microorganisms in response to phosphorus limitation in the environment. In this thesis, the current knowledge of the prevalence of phoD and phoX in the environment and of their taxonomic distribution was assessed, and new molecular tools were developed to target the phoD and phoX alkaline phosphatase genes in soil microorganisms.

Cultures from this spe- cies are most interesting due to their facultatively chemolithoautotrophic lifestyle, which allows them to both consume carbon dioxide and to produce it. This feature makes S. novella an interesting model or- ganism for studying the genomic basis of regulatory networks required for the switch between con- sumption and production of carbon dioxide, a key component of the global carbon cycle.

  • Evolution of Methanotrophy in the Beijerinckiaceae&Mdash
    The ISME Journal (2014) 8, 369–382 & 2014 International Society for Microbial Ecology All rights reserved 1751-7362/14 www.nature.com/ismej ORIGINAL ARTICLE The (d)evolution of methanotrophy in the Beijerinckiaceae—a comparative genomics analysis Ivica Tamas1, Angela V Smirnova1, Zhiguo He1,2 and Peter F Dunfield1 1Department of Biological Sciences, University of Calgary, Calgary, Alberta, Canada and 2Department of Bioengineering, School of Minerals Processing and Bioengineering, Central South University, Changsha, Hunan, China The alphaproteobacterial family Beijerinckiaceae contains generalists that grow on a wide range of substrates, and specialists that grow only on methane and methanol. We investigated the evolution of this family by comparing the genomes of the generalist organotroph Beijerinckia indica, the facultative methanotroph Methylocella silvestris and the obligate methanotroph Methylocapsa acidiphila. Highly resolved phylogenetic construction based on universally conserved genes demonstrated that the Beijerinckiaceae forms a monophyletic cluster with the Methylocystaceae, the only other family of alphaproteobacterial methanotrophs. Phylogenetic analyses also demonstrated a vertical inheritance pattern of methanotrophy and methylotrophy genes within these families. Conversely, many lateral gene transfer (LGT) events were detected for genes encoding carbohydrate transport and metabolism, energy production and conversion, and transcriptional regulation in the genome of B. indica, suggesting that it has recently acquired these genes. A key difference between the generalist B. indica and its specialist methanotrophic relatives was an abundance of transporter elements, particularly periplasmic-binding proteins and major facilitator transporters. The most parsimonious scenario for the evolution of methanotrophy in the Alphaproteobacteria is that it occurred only once, when a methylotroph acquired methane monooxygenases (MMOs) via LGT.

  • Taxonomic Hierarchy of the Phylum Proteobacteria and Korean Indigenous Novel Proteobacteria Species
    Journal of Species Research 8(2):197-214, 2019 Taxonomic hierarchy of the phylum Proteobacteria and Korean indigenous novel Proteobacteria species Chi Nam Seong1,*, Mi Sun Kim1, Joo Won Kang1 and Hee-Moon Park2 1Department of Biology, College of Life Science and Natural Resources, Sunchon National University, Suncheon 57922, Republic of Korea 2Department of Microbiology & Molecular Biology, College of Bioscience and Biotechnology, Chungnam National University, Daejeon 34134, Republic of Korea *Correspondent: [email protected] The taxonomic hierarchy of the phylum Proteobacteria was assessed, after which the isolation and classification state of Proteobacteria species with valid names for Korean indigenous isolates were studied. The hierarchical taxonomic system of the phylum Proteobacteria began in 1809 when the genus Polyangium was first reported and has been generally adopted from 2001 based on the road map of Bergey’s Manual of Systematic Bacteriology. Until February 2018, the phylum Proteobacteria consisted of eight classes, 44 orders, 120 families, and more than 1,000 genera. Proteobacteria species isolated from various environments in Korea have been reported since 1999, and 644 species have been approved as of February 2018. In this study, all novel Proteobacteria species from Korean environments were affiliated with four classes, 25 orders, 65 families, and 261 genera. A total of 304 species belonged to the class Alphaproteobacteria, 257 species to the class Gammaproteobacteria, 82 species to the class Betaproteobacteria, and one species to the class Epsilonproteobacteria. The predominant orders were Rhodobacterales, Sphingomonadales, Burkholderiales, Lysobacterales and Alteromonadales. The most diverse and greatest number of novel Proteobacteria species were isolated from marine environments. Proteobacteria species were isolated from the whole territory of Korea, with especially large numbers from the regions of Chungnam/Daejeon, Gyeonggi/Seoul/Incheon, and Jeonnam/Gwangju.

Gutachterin: Prof. Dr. Heide N. Schulz-Vogt 2. Gutachter: Prof. Dr. Ulrich Fischer 3. Pr¨uferin: Prof. Dr. Nicole Dubilier 4. Pr¨ufer: Dr. Timothy G. Ferdelman Tag des Promotionskolloquiums: 16.12.2013 To Finn Summary The family Beggiatoaceae comprises large, colorless sulfur bacteria, which are best known for their chemolithotrophic metabolism, in particular the oxidation of re- duced sulfur compounds with oxygen or nitrate. This thesis contributes to a more comprehensive understanding of the physiology and ecology of these organisms with several studies on different aspects of their dissimilatory metabolism. Even though the importance of inorganic sulfur substrates as electron donors for the Beggiatoaceae has long been recognized, it was not possible to derive a general model of sulfur compound oxidation in this family, owing to the fact that most of its members can currently not be cultured. Such a model has now been developed by integrating information from six Beggiatoaceae draft genomes with available literature data (Section 2). This model proposes common metabolic pathways of sulfur compound oxidation and evaluates whether the involved enzymes are likely to be of ancestral origin for the family. In Section 3 the sulfur metabolism of the Beggiatoaceae is explored from a dif- ferent perspective.
