Pieper, Ramón Rosselló-Móra, Jesús Sánchez, Jana Seifert and Manuel Ferrer 10 Supporting Online Material includes Text (Supporting Materials and Methods) Tables S1 to S9 Figures S1 to S7 1 SUPPORTING TEXT Supporting Materials and Methods Soil characterisation Soil pH was measured in a suspension of soil and water (1:2.5) with a glass electrode, and 5 electrical conductivity was measured in the same extract (diluted 1:5). Primary soil characteristics were determined using standard techniques, such as dichromate oxidation (organic matter content), the Kjeldahl method (nitrogen content), the Olsen method (phosphorus content) and a Bernard calcimeter (carbonate content). The Bouyoucos Densimetry method was used to establish textural data. Exchangeable cations (Ca, Mg, K and 10 Na) extracted with 1 M NH 4Cl and exchangeable aluminium extracted with 1 M KCl were determined using atomic absorption/emission spectrophotometry with an AA200 PerkinElmer analyser. The effective cation exchange capacity (ECEC) was calculated as the sum of the values of the last two measurements (sum of the exchangeable cations and the exchangeable Al). Analyses were performed immediately after sampling. 15 Hydrocarbon analysis Extraction (5 g of sample N and Nbs) was performed with dichloromethane:acetone (1:1) using a Soxtherm extraction apparatus (Gerhardt GmbH & Co. -

Specific approval and amendment First approved in 2004-09. Revised in 2016-09 and 2018-XX.2 1 Introduction Xylella fastidiosa causes many important plant diseases such as Pierce's disease of grapevine, phony peach disease, plum leaf scald and citrus variegated chlorosis disease, olive scorch disease, as well as leaf scorch on almond and on shade trees in urban landscapes, e.g. Ulmus sp. (elm), Quercus sp. (oak), Platanus sycamore (American sycamore), Morus sp. (mulberry) and Acer sp. (maple). Based on current knowledge, X. fastidiosa occurs primarily on the American continent (Almeida & Nunney, 2015). A distant relative found in Taiwan on Nashi pears (Leu & Su, 1993) is another species named X. taiwanensis (Su et al., 2016). However, X. fastidiosa was also confirmed on grapevine in Taiwan (Su et al., 2014). The presence of X. fastidiosa on almond and grapevine in Iran (Amanifar et al., 2014) was reported (based on isolation and pathogenicity tests, but so far strain(s) are not available). The reports from Turkey (Guldur et al., 2005; EPPO, 2014), Lebanon (Temsah et al., 2015; Habib et al., 2016) and Kosovo (Berisha et al., 1998; EPPO, 1998) are unconfirmed and are considered invalid. Since 2012, different European countries have reported interception of infected coffee plants from Latin America (Mexico, Ecuador, Costa Rica and Honduras) (Legendre et al., 2014; Bergsma-Vlami et al., 2015; Jacques et al., 2016). -

Page 2/24 Abstract Background: Antimonite (Sb(III)) oxidation (SbO) can decrease the toxicity of antimony (Sb) and its uptake into plants (e.g., rice), thus serving an ecological role in bioremediation of Sb contamination. In some anoxic environments, Sb(III) can be oxidized coupled with nitrate as the electron acceptor. -
Sphingopyxis Soli Sp. Nov., Isolated from Landfill Soil
International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology (2010), 60, 1682–1686 DOI 10.1099/ijs.0.013128-0 Sphingopyxis soli sp. nov., isolated from landfill soil Jung-Hye Choi,1 Min-Soo Kim,1,2 Mi-Ja Jung,1 Seong Woon Roh,1,2 Kee-Sun Shin2 and Jin-Woo Bae1 Correspondence 1Department of Life and Nanopharmaceutical Sciences and Department of Biology, Jin-Woo Bae Kyung Hee University, Seoul 130-701, Republic of Korea [email protected] 2University of Science and Technology, BRC, KRIBB, Daejeon 305-333, Republic of Korea A Gram-negative, aerobic, rod-shaped, motile, oxidase-positive, catalase-negative bacterium, designated strain BL03T, was isolated from landfill soil in Pohang, Republic of Korea. Colonies on Luria–Bertani agar plates were yellow. The strain grew in the presence of 0–3 % (w/v) NaCl, at 15–42 6C and at pH 5.0–9.5. The predominant ubiquinone was Q-10, and the major cellular fatty acids were C17 : 1v6c,C15 : 0 2-OH and C18 : 1v7c. Polar lipids detected were phosphatidylmonomethylethanolamine, diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, sphingoglycolipid and an unknown glycolipid. Spermidine was identified as the major polyamine component. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain BL03T belongs to the genus Sphingopyxis with high sequence similarity to Sphingopyxis taejonensis JSS54T (97.8 %), Sphingopyxis alaskensis RB2256T (97.4 %) and Sphingopyxis chilensis S37T (96.9 %). Levels of DNA–DNA relatedness between strain BL03T and the above three type strains were only 10.3–40.3 %. The DNA G+C content of strain BL03T was 65.9 mol%. -

FLAVOBACTERIUM GLIDING MOTILITY: FROM PROTEIN SECRETION TO CELL SURFACE ADHESIN MOVEMENTS by Joseph J. Johnston A Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Biological Sciences at The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee August 2019 ABSTRACT FLAVOBACTERIUM GLIDING MOTILITY: FROM PROTEIN SECRETION TO CELL SURFACE ADHESIN MOVEMENTS by Joseph J. Johnston The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, 2019 Under the Supervision of Dr. Mark J. McBride Flavobacterium johnsoniae exhibits rapid gliding motility over surfaces. At least twenty genes are involved in this process. Seven of these, gldK, gldL, gldM, gldN, sprA, sprE, and sprT encode proteins of the type IX protein secretion system (T9SS). The T9SS is required for surface localization of the motility adhesins SprB and RemA, and for secretion of the soluble chitinase ChiA. This thesis demonstrates that the gliding motility proteins GldA, GldB, GldD, GldF, GldH, GldI and GldJ are also essential for secretion. -
