Surprisingly, the microbiota of S. mediterranea remains poorly investi- gated. Using the culturomics strategy to study the bacterial component of planarians, we isolated a new bacterial strain, Marseille-Q2390, which we characterized with the taxono-genomic approach that associates phenotypic assays and genome sequencing and analysis. Strain Marseille-Q2390 exhibited a 16S rRNA sequence similarity of 99.36% with Pedobacter kyungheensis strain THG-T17T, the closest phylogenetic neighbor. It is a white-pigmented, Gram-negative, and rod-shaped bacterium. It grows in aerobic conditions and belongs to the family Sphingobacteriaceae. The genome of strain Marseille-Q2390 is 5,919,359 bp-long, with a G + C content of 40.3%.

    BISMiS-2016 Abstract Book Third Meeting of Bergey's International Society for Microbial Systematics on Microbial Systematics and Metagenomics September 12-15, 2016 | Pune, INDIA PUNE UNIT Abstracts - Opening Address - Keynotes Abstract Book | BISMiS-2016 | Pune, India Opening Address TAXONOMY OF PROKARYOTES - NEW CHALLENGES IN A GLOBAL WORLD Peter Kämpfer* Justus-Liebig-University Giessen, HESSEN, Germany Email: [email protected] Systematics can be considered as a comprehensive science, because in science it is an essential aspect in comparing any two or more elements, whether they are genes or genomes, proteins or proteomes, biochemical pathways or metabolomes (just to list a few examples), or whole organisms. The development of high throughput sequencing techniques has led to an enormous amount of data (genomic and other “omic” data) and has also revealed an extensive diversity behind these data. These data are more and more used also in systematics and there is a strong trend to classify and name the taxonomic units in prokaryotic systematics preferably on the basis of sequence data. Unfortunately, the knowledge of the meaning behind the sequence data does not keep up with the tremendous increase of generated sequences. The extent of the accessory genome in any given cell, and perhaps the infinite extent of the pan-genome (as an aggregate of all the accessory genomes) is fascinating but it is an open question if and how these data should be used in systematics. Traditionally the polyphasic approach in bacterial systematics considers methods including both phenotype and genotype. And it is the phenotype that is (also) playing an essential role in driving the evolution.

  • Japanese Apple Rust Gymnosporangium Yamadae Belongs to the Pucciniales, an Order That Includes Rust Fungi That Cause Diseases on Plants
    U.S. Department of Agriculture, Agricultural Research Service Systematic Mycology and Microbiology Laboratory - Invasive Fungi Fact Sheets Japanese apple rust Gymnosporangium yamadae belongs to the Pucciniales, an order that includes rust fungi that cause diseases on plants. Gymnosporangium yamadae has been limited in distribution to Asia (China, Japan and Korea) where it can be a serious pathogen of cultivated apples, especially if the host of the telial state, Juniperus spp., occurs in close proximity. This fungus was recently reported from the United States (DE, PA) in its aecial state on the ornamental tree, Malus toringo (Yun et al. 2009). Gymnosporangium yamadae Miyabe ex G. Yamada 1904 Aecia on Malus, foliicolous, then hypophyllous, also less commonly caulicolous, fructicolous; initially developing in a whitish leaf spot that becomes rose red with a distinct margin. Peridium cornute to tubular, 3-7(-8) mm high, retaining this shape at maturity but with lacerate sides that often form a reticulate pattern, apex typically closed to occasionally dehiscent, yellow-brown to brown; peridial cells long-narrow rhomboid to linear-rhomboid, 59-115 µm long, pale yellow, appearing verrucose with long papillae to tuberculate, outer walls smooth, inner and side walls sparsely echinulate.

  • Culturable Aerobic and Facultative Bacteria from the Gut of the Polyphagic Dung Beetle Thorectes Lusitanicus

CIBIO (Centro Iberoamericano de la Biodiversidad), Universidad de Alicante, Carretera de San Vicente del Raspeig s/n, Alicante 03080, Spain Abstract Unlike other dung beetles, the Iberian geotrupid, Thorectes lusitanicus, exhibits polyphagous behavior; for example, it is able to eat acorns, fungi, fruits, and carrion in addition to the dung of different mammals. This adaptation to digest a wider diet has physiological and developmental advantages and requires key changes in the composition and diversity of the beetle’s gut microbiota. In this study, we isolated aerobic, facultative anaerobic, and aerotolerant microbiota amenable to grow in culture from the gut contents of T. lusitanicus and resolved isolate identity to the species level by sequencing 16S rRNA gene fragments. Using BLAST similarity searches and maximum likelihood phylogenetic analyses, we were able to reveal that the analyzed fraction (culturable, aerobic, facultative anaerobic, and aerotolerant) of beetle gut microbiota is dominated by the phyla Pro- teobacteria, Firmicutes,andActinobacteria. Among Proteobacteria, members of the order Enterobacteriales (Gammaproteobacteria) were the most abundant.

  • Lists of Names in Aspergillus and Teleomorphs As Proposed by Pitt and Taylor, Mycologia, 106: 1051-1062, 2014 (Doi: 10.3852/14-0
    Lists of names in Aspergillus and teleomorphs as proposed by Pitt and Taylor, Mycologia, 106: 1051-1062, 2014 (doi: 10.3852/14-060), based on retypification of Aspergillus with A. niger as type species John I. Pitt and John W. Taylor, CSIRO Food and Nutrition, North Ryde, NSW 2113, Australia and Dept of Plant and Microbial Biology, University of California, Berkeley, CA 94720-3102, USA Preamble The lists below set out the nomenclature of Aspergillus and its teleomorphs as they would become on acceptance of a proposal published by Pitt and Taylor (2014) to change the type species of Aspergillus from A. glaucus to A. niger. The central points of the proposal by Pitt and Taylor (2014) are that retypification of Aspergillus on A. niger will make the classification of fungi with Aspergillus anamorphs: i) reflect the great phenotypic diversity in sexual morphology, physiology and ecology of the clades whose species have Aspergillus anamorphs; ii) respect the phylogenetic relationship of these clades to each other and to Penicillium; and iii) preserve the name Aspergillus for the clade that contains the greatest number of economically important species. Specifically, of the 11 teleomorph genera associated with Aspergillus anamorphs, the proposal of Pitt and Taylor (2014) maintains the three major teleomorph genera – Eurotium, Neosartorya and Emericella – together with Chaetosartorya, Hemicarpenteles, Sclerocleista and Warcupiella. Aspergillus is maintained for the important species used industrially and for manufacture of fermented foods, together with all species producing major mycotoxins. The teleomorph genera Fennellia, Petromyces, Neocarpenteles and Neopetromyces are synonymised with Aspergillus. The lists below are based on the List of “Names in Current Use” developed by Pitt and Samson (1993) and those listed in MycoBank (www.MycoBank.org), plus extensive scrutiny of papers publishing new species of Aspergillus and associated teleomorph genera as collected in Index of Fungi (1992-2104).
