The extent of the diversity of microorganisms in soil is seen to be critical to the maintenance of soil health and quality, as a wide range of microorganisms is involved 16SrRNA gene sequencing, in important soil functions.

Soil which may represent more than a million bacteria and, in particular, rhizosphere bacterial species. However, characterization bacteria play an important role in many of the small fraction of microbes that has been processes, such as decomposition, cultivated provides only a glimpse of their mineralization, biological nitrogen fixation, potential physiological capacity and influence and denitrification. In addition, some bacteria on soil ecosystems. Soil is considered to be associate with plants and promote growth, the the richest environment, with a high diversity so-called plant growth-promoting bacteria of microorganisms belonging to the three (Singh et al., 2004). In the course of screening domains of life, Bacteria, Archaea and micro-organisms obtained from the soil of Eukarya. This diversity is extreme at the sugarcane-wheat cropping system, a Gram- species level, with approximately 50,000 negative strain, P2, was isolated. The bacterial species found in one soil sample. following study was carried out for the Investigation of bacterial diversity is an identification of the bacteria by 16s RNA important step to assess soil conditions due to techniques. 3509 Int.J.Curr.Microbiol.App.Sci (2017) 6(10): 3509-3515 Materials and Methods 1510R: 5′́-GGCTACCTTGTTACGA-3′́) in a reaction mixture (25 μl).

In this study, winter wheat and a high-efficiency degradation strain Pseudomonas sp. DG17 isolated from oil-contaminated soil were joined up to degrade petroleum hydrocarbon. The bacteria were in two forms: immobilized bacteria and bacteria inoculum. After 70 days, the combination of winter wheat and immobilized bacteria DG17 could degrade up to 18.09 % petroleum hydrocarbon, showing great potential in repairing oiled soil. The diversity of rhizosphere microorganisms which included the microorganism function diversity and the genetic diversity was analyzed by some emerging molecular biology methods. It was found that with the degradation of the petroleum hydrocarbon, the carbon source utilization types and dominant bacteria varied a lot in all treatments. During the late period of the experiment, functional bacteria which could degrade petroleum hydrocarbon better appeared.

  • 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.

  • Walczak, A. Trunk River Sulfide Oxidizing Bacteria
    Trunk River Sulfide Oxidizing Bacteria Alexandra Walczak Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey Microbial Diversity-Marine Biological Laboratories Summer 2009 Corresponding Address: Microbiology and Molecular Genetics [email protected] Abstract A study of the sulfide oxidizing bacteria and the water/sediment chemistry at two sites in the Trunk River. The Trunk River was selected to study sulfide oxidizing bacteria due to the strong sulfide smell that was observed at the site. The Cline assay was used to determine the sulfide concentration and a sulfate assay to determine sulfate concentration in the pore water and enrichment cultures. The profile of the cores showed that the concentration of sulfide increased with depth and sulfate decreased with depth. The salinity and pH of the two sites varied between each other and with the tides. Overall the Mouth site had a lower pH and higher salinity while the Deep had a higher pH and lower salinity. The differences between the two sites suggests that the organisms that live near the Mouth must be more adapted to high salinity and a lower pH while in the Deep the organisms are adapted to a high pH and lower salinity. However, because the two sites are not drastically different it is possible for some organisms to live in both communities which is supported by the clone library and TRFLP results. The colorless sulfur oxidizing bacteria use reduced sulfur compounds as their electron donor with oxygen or nitrate acting as the terminal electron acceptor in respiration. A common pathway for sulfur oxidizing bacteria involves the sox gene cluster.

BMC Genomics 2014, 15:169 http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2164/15/169 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access A genomic perspective on a new bacterial genus and species from the Alcaligenaceae family, Basilea psittacipulmonis Katrine L Whiteson1,5*, David Hernandez1, Vladimir Lazarevic1, Nadia Gaia1, Laurent Farinelli2, Patrice François1, Paola Pilo3, Joachim Frey3 and Jacques Schrenzel1,4 Abstract Background: A novel Gram-negative, non-haemolytic, non-motile, rod-shaped bacterium was discovered in the lungs of a dead parakeet (Melopsittacus undulatus) that was kept in captivity in a petshop in Basel, Switzerland. The organism is described with a chemotaxonomic profile and the nearly complete genome sequence obtained through the assembly of short sequence reads. Results: Genome sequence analysis and characterization of respiratory quinones, fatty acids, polar lipids, and biochemical phenotype is presented here. Comparison of gene sequences revealed that the most similar species is Pelistega europaea, with BLAST identities of only 93% to the 16S rDNA gene, 76% identity to the rpoB gene, and a similar GC content (~43%) as the organism isolated from the parakeet, DSM 24701 (40%). The closest full genome sequences are those of Bordetella spp. and Taylorella spp. High-throughput sequencing reads from the Illumina-Solexa platform were assembled with the Edena de novo assembler to form 195 contigs comprising the ~2 Mb genome. Genome annotation with RAST, construction of phylogenetic trees with the 16S rDNA (rrs) gene sequence and the rpoB gene, and phylogenetic placement using other highly conserved marker genes with ML Tree all suggest that the bacterial species belongs to the Alcaligenaceae family.
