Symbiont bacteria on the soft coral can produce bioactive compounds that play an important role in chemical ecology as well as a marine natural product. Marine bacteria associated with soft coral collected from Jepara were successfully isolated on medium ZoBell 2216E and screened to synthesize the pigment. This approach has allowed the use of this organism as an environmentally friendly alternative source of natural pigment. This study found 25 bacteria have been isolated from 6 types of soft coral. Out of 25 bacterial isolates, only 3 bacteria (PCl 1, PS2 1, and PSa 2) positively contains pigments. Pigments analysis with UV- Vis spectrophotometric method showed the wavelength of pigments were in the range 300-600 nm. Moleculer identification was carried out by PCR using 16S rDNA while the preliminary antioxidant activity was tested with the 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) method. From the results of molecular identification by 16S rDNA method, it was shown that bacterium PCl 1, PS2 1, and PSa 2 was closely related to Pseudomonas stutzeri, Ponticoccus Gilvus, Bacillus marisflavi with 99%, 99%, and 98% homology value. The antioxidant activity is as follows: PCl 1>PS2 1>PSA 2. Bacterial symbionts of Soft Coral from Jepara Sea: Three isolates, PCl 1, PS2 1, and PSa 2 have been succesfullt isolated.

  • Molecular Profiling of Culturable Bacteria from Portable Drinking Water Filtration Systems and Tap Water in Three Cities of Metro Manila, Philippines
    International Journal of Philippine Science and Technology, Vol. 08, No. 2, 2015 24 ARTICLE Molecular profiling of culturable bacteria from portable drinking water filtration systems and tap water in three cities of Metro Manila, Philippines Edward A. Barlaan*, Janina M. Guarte, and Chyrene I. Moncada Molecular Diagnostics Laboratory, Institute of Biology, College of Science, University of the Philippines, Diliman, Quezon City, 1101, Philippines Abstract—Many consumers drink filtered water from portable filtration system or directly from tap water. However, microbial community composition in portable drinking water filtration systems has not yet been investigated. This study determined the molecular profile of culturable bacteria in biofilms and filtered water from portable drinking water filtration systems and tap water in three key cities of Metro Manila, Philippines. A total of 97 isolates were obtained using different growth media and characterized based on 16S rRNA gene sequences. Most bacteria were isolated from biofilms, followed by filtered water and the least from tap water. Many isolates were affiliated with Proteobacteria (α, β, and γ), Actinobacteria, Firmicutes and Bacteriodetes; some had no matches or low affiliations in data bank. Many isolates were associated with bacteria that were part of normal drinking water flora. Some were affiliated with opportunistic bacterial pathogens, soil bacteria and activated sludge bacteria. The presence of soil and opportunistic bacteria may pose health risks when immunocompromised consumers directly drink the tap water. Some isolates had very low percentage homology with bacterial affiliates or without matches in the data bank suggesting different identities or novelty of the isolates. Further studies are needed for different portable filtration systems available in the market, drinking water quality status of other areas and functions of the isolated bacteria.

  • Behavioral Abnormalities of the Gut Microbiota Underlie Alzheimer’S Disease Development and Progression
    Journal of Research in Medical and Dental Science 2018, Volume 6, Issue 5, Page No: 246-263 Copyright CC BY-NC 4.0 Available Online at: www.jrmds.in eISSN No. 2347-2367: pISSN No. 2347-2545 The Gut Microbiota-brain Signaling: Behavioral Abnormalities of The Gut Microbiota Underlie Alzheimer’s Disease Development and Progression. Dictatorship or Bidirectional Relationship? Menizibeya O Welcome* Department of Physiology, College of Health Sciences, The Nile University of Nigeria, Nigeria ABSTRACT Over the past decades, renewed research interest revealed crucial role of the gut microbiota in a range of health abnormalities including neurodevelopmental, neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric diseases such as multiple sclerosis, autism spectrum disorders, and schizophrenia. More recently, emerging studies have shown that dysfunctions in gut microbiota can trigger the development or progression of Alzheimer’s disease (AD), which is the most common neurodegenerative disease worldwide. This paper presents a state-of-the-art review of recent data on the association between dysfunctions of the gut microbiota and AD development and progression. The review stresses on the functional integrity and expression of sealing and leaky junctional complexes of the intestinal and blood-brain barriers as well as contemporary understanding of the multiple mechanisms that underlie the association between barrier dysfunctions and β-amyloid accumulation, resulting to neuro inflammation and subsequently, progressive decrease in cognitive functions. Key determinants of cerebral amyloid accumulation and abnormal gut microbiota are also discussed. Very recent data on the interaction of the gut microbiota and local/distant immunocytes as well as calcium signaling defects that predispose to AD are also discussed.

  • Quorum Sensing of Microalgae Associated Marine Ponticoccus Sp
    Chi et al. AMB Expr (2017) 7:59 DOI 10.1186/s13568-017-0357-6 ORIGINAL ARTICLE Open Access Quorum sensing of microalgae associated marine Ponticoccus sp. PD‑2 and its algicidal function regulation Wendan Chi1, Li Zheng1,2*, Changfei He1, Bin Han1, Minggang Zheng1, Wei Gao1, Chengjun Sun1,2, Gefei Zhou3 and Xiangxing Gao4 Abstract Quorum sensing (QS) systems play important roles in regulating many physiological functions of microorganisms, such as biofilm formation, bioluminescence, and antibiotic production. One marine algicidal bacterium, Ponticoc- cus sp. PD-2, was isolated from the microalga Prorocentrum donghaiense, and its N-acyl-homoserine lactone (AHL)- mediated QS system was verified. In this study, we analyzed the AHLs profile of strain PD-2. Two AHLs, 3-oxo-C8-HSL and 3-oxo-C10-HSL, were detected using a biosensor overlay assay and GC–MS methods. Two complete AHL-QS systems (designated zlaI/R and zlbI/R) were identified in the genome of strain PD-2. When expressed in Escherichia coli, both zlaI and zlbI genes could each produce 3-oxo-C8-HSL and 3-oxo-C10-HSL. Algicidal activity was investigated by evaluating the inhibitory rate (IR) of microalgae growth by measuring the fluorescence of viable cells. We found that the metabolites of strain PD-2 had algicidal activity against its host P. donghaiense (IR 84.81%) and two other red tide microalgae, Phaeocystis globosa (IR 78.91%) and Alexandrium tamarense (IR 67.14%). β-cyclodextrin which binds to AHLs and inhibits the QS system reduced the algicidal activity more than 50%. This indicates that inhibiting the QS system may affect the algicidal metabolites production of strain PD-2.

Microbiology Laboratory, Department of Biotechnology & Bioinformatics North-Eastern Hill University, Shillong Meghalaya, India; [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] 2. Research Officer, Regional Centre-NAEB, North-Eastern Hill University, Shillong, Meghalaya, India. Received 27-II-2012. Corrected 10-VIII-2012. Accepted 19-IX-2012. Abstract: The Northeastern part of India sprawls over an area of 262 379km2 in the Eastern Himalayan range. This constitutes a biodiversity hotspot with high levels of biodiversity and endemism; unfortunately, is also a poorly known area, especially on its microbial diversity. In this study, we assessed cultivable soil bacterial diversity and distribution from lowlands to highlands (34 to 3 990m.a.s.l.). Soil physico-chemical parameters and forest types across the different altitudes were characterized and correlated with bacterial distribution and diversity. Microbes from the soil samples were grown in Nutrient, Muller Hinton and Luria-Bertani agar plates and were initially characterized using biochemical methods. Parameters like dehydrogenase and urease activi- ties, temperature, moisture content, pH, carbon content, bulk density of the sampled soil were measured for each site. Representative isolates were also subjected to 16S rDNA sequence analysis. A total of 155 cultivable bacte- rial isolates were characterized which were analyzed for richness, evenness and diversity indices. The tropical and sub-tropical forests supported higher bacterial diversity compared to temperate pine, temperate conifer, and sub-alpine rhododendron forests. The 16S rRNA phylogenetic analysis revealed that Firmicutes was the most common group followed by Proteobacteria and Bacteroidetes.

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.

Methodology/Principal Findings: We investigated the microbial community structure (yeasts and bacteria) in floral nectar of ten fragmented populations of the bee-pollinated forest herb Pulmonaria officinalis. We also explored possible relationships between plant population size and microbial diversity in nectar, and related microbial community composition to the distance separating plant populations. Culturable bacteria and yeasts occurring in the floral nectar of a total of 100 plant individuals were isolated and identified by partially sequencing the 16S rRNA gene and D1/D2 domains of the 26S rRNA gene, respectively. A total of 9 and 11 yeast and 28 and 39 bacterial OTUs was found, taking into account a 3% (OTU0.03) and 1% sequence dissimilarity cut-off (OTU0.01). OTU richness at the plant population level (i.e. the number of OTUs per population) was low for yeasts (mean: 1.7, range: 0–4 OTUs0.01/0.03 per population), whereas on average 6.9 (range: 2–13) OTUs0.03 and 7.9 (range 2–16) OTUs0.01 per population were found for bacteria.

Here, we investigated the taxonomic profile of the actinobacterial community of three moonmilk deposits of the cave “Grotte des Collemboles” via high-throughput sequencing of 16S rRNA amplicons. Actinobacteria was the most common phylum after Proteobacteria, ranging from 9% to 23% of the total bacterial population.
