The pit is the necessary bioreactor for brewing process of Chinese strong-flavor liquor. Pit mud in pits contains a large number of microorganisms and is a complex ecosystem. The analysis of bacterial flora in pit mud is of great significance to understand liquor fermentation mechanisms. To overcome taxonomic limitations of short reads in 16S rRNA variable region sequencing, we used high-throughput DNA sequencing of near full-length 16S rRNA gene to analyze microbial compositions of different types of pit mud that produce different qualities of strong-flavor liquor. The results showed that the main species in pit mud were Pseudomonas extremaustralis 14-3, Pseudomonas veronii, Serratia marcescens WW4, and Clostridium leptum in Ruminiclostridium.

Abstract: Development phases are important in maturing immune systems, intestinal functions, and metabolism for the construction, structure, and diversity of microbiome in the intestine during the entire life. Characterizing the gut microbiota colonization and succession based on age-dependent effects might be crucial if a microbiota-based therapeutic or disease prevention strategy is adopted. The purpose of this study was to reveal the dynamic distribution of intestinal bacterial and fungal communities across all development stages in yaks. Dynamic changes (a substantial difference) in the structure and composition ratio of the microbial community were observed in yaks that Citation: Wang, Y.; Fu, Y.; He, Y.; matched the natural aging process from juvenile to natural aging.

This is an open access article distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. The characteristics of tongue coating are very important symbols for disease diagnosis in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) theory.Asahabitatoforalmicrobiota,bacteriaonthetonguedorsumhavebeenprovedtobethecauseofmanyoraldiseases.The high-throughput next-generation sequencing (NGS) platforms have been widely applied in the analysis of bacterial 16S rRNA gene. We developed a methodology based on genus-specific multiprimer amplification and ligation-based sequencing for microbiota analysis. In order to validate the efficiency of the approach, we thoroughly analyzed six tongue coating samples from lung cancer patients with different TCM types, and more than 600 genera of bacteria were detected by this platform. The results showed that ligation-based parallel sequencing combined with enzyme digestion and multiamplification could expand the effective length of sequencing reads and could be applied in the microbiota analysis.

This deficiency often results in the accumulation of persistent organic pollutants, where bioremediation using organic compounds often leads to secondary contamination. This study involves the reductive dechlorination of pentachlorophenol (PCP) by dechlorinators that do not use H2 directly, but rather through a reduced state of humin—a solid-phase humic substance—as the extracellular electron donor, which requires an organic donor such as formate, lactate, etc. This shortcoming was addressed by the development of an anaerobic mixed culture that was capable of reductively dechlorinating PCP using humin under autotrophic conditions induced by homoacetogenesis. Here, H2 was used for carbon-dioxide fixation to acetate; the acetate produced

    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Profling temporal dynamics of acetogenic communities in anaerobic digesters using next‑generation sequencing and T‑RFLP Abhijeet Singh*, Bettina Müller & Anna Schnürer* Acetogens play a key role in anaerobic degradation of organic material and in maintaining biogas process efciency. Profling this community and its temporal changes can help evaluate process stability and function, especially under disturbance/stress conditions, and avoid complete process failure. The formyltetrahydrofolate synthetase (FTHFS) gene can be used as a marker for acetogenic community profling in diverse environments. In this study, we developed a new high‑throughput FTHFS gene sequencing method for acetogenic community profling and compared it with conventional terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism of the FTHFS gene, 16S rRNA gene‑ based profling of the whole bacterial community, and indirect analysis via 16S rRNA profling of the FTHFS gene‑harbouring community. Analyses and method comparisons were made using samples from two laboratory‑scale biogas processes, one operated under stable control and one exposed to controlled overloading disturbance. Comparative analysis revealed satisfactory detection of the bacterial community and its changes for all methods, but with some diferences in resolution and taxonomic identifcation. FTHFS gene sequencing was found to be the most suitable and reliable method to study acetogenic communities. These results pave the way for community profling in various biogas processes and in other environments where the dynamics of acetogenic bacteria have not been well studied. Anaerobic digestion (AD) is a microbiological process through which almost any biodegradable material can be transformed into renewable biofertiliser and biogas, which is mainly a mixture of methane (60–70%) and carbon dioxide (30–40%)1–4.

Daniel Keywords: acetogenesis; acetogenic bacteria; acetyl-CoA pathway; autotrophy; bioenergetics; Clostridium aceticum; electron transport; intercycle coupling; Moorella thermoacetica; nitrate dissimilation Abstract: Acetogens utilize the acetyl-CoA Wood-Ljungdahl pathway as a terminal electron-accepting, energy-conserving, CO2-fixing process. The decades of research to resolve the enzymology of this pathway (1) preceded studies demonstrating that acetogens not only harbor a novel CO2-fixing pathway, but are also ecologically important, and (2) overshadowed the novel microbiological discoveries of acetogens and acetogenesis. The first acetogen to be isolated, Clostridium aceticum, was reported by Klaas Tammo Wieringa in 1936, but was subsequently lost. The second acetogen to be isolated, Clostridium thermoaceticum, was isolated by Francis Ephraim Fontaine and co-workers in 1942.
