    Isolation, characterization and genome sequencing of a soil-borne Citrobacter freundii strain capable of detoxifying trichothecene mycotoxins by Rafiqul Islam A Thesis Presented to The University of Guelph In Partial Fulfilment of Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Plant Agriculture Guelph, Ontario, Canada © Rafiqul Islam, April, 2012 ABSTRACT ISOLATION, CHARACTERIZATION AND GENOME SEQUENCING OF A SOIL- BORNE CITROBACTER FREUNDII STRAIN CAPABLE OF DETOXIFIYING TRICHOTHECENE MYCOTOXINS Rafiqul Islam Advisors: University of Guelph, 2012 Dr. K. Peter Pauls Dr. Ting Zhou Cereals are frequently contaminated with tricthothecene mycotoxins, like deoxynivalenol (DON, vomitoxin), which are toxic to humans, animals and plants. The goals of the research were to discover and characterize microbes capable of detoxifying DON under aerobic conditions and moderate temperatures. To identify microbes capable of detoxifying DON, five soil samples collected from Southern Ontario crop fields were tested for the ability to convert DON to a de-epoxidized derivative. One soil sample showed DON de-epoxidation activity under aerobic conditions at 22-24°C. To isolate the microbes responsible for DON detoxification (de-epoxidation) activity, the mixed culture was grown with antibiotics at 50ºC for 1.5 h and high concentrations of DON. The treatments resulted in the isolation of a pure DON de-epoxidating bacterial strain, ADS47, and phenotypic and molecular analyses identified the bacterium as Citrobacter freundii. The bacterium was also able to de-epoxidize and/or de-acetylate 10 other food-contaminating trichothecene mycotoxins. A fosmid genomic DNA library of strain ADS47 was prepared in E. coli and screened for DON detoxification activity. However, no library clone was found with DON detoxification activity.

Ltd., Chinar Fortune City, Hoshangabad Rd., Madhya Pradesh, India Abstract Citrobacter braakii (C. braakii) is widespread in nature, mainly found in human urinary tract. The current study was attempted to investigate the effect of Mr. Trivedi’s biofield treatment on C. braakii in lyophilized as well as revived state for antimicrobial susceptibility pattern, biochemical characteristics, and biotype number. Lyophilized vial of ATCC strain of C. braakii was divided into two parts, Group (Gr.) I: control and Gr. II: treated. Gr. II was further subdivided into two parts, Gr. IIA and Gr. IIB. Gr. IIA was analysed on day 10 while Gr. IIB was stored and analysed on day 159 (Study I). After retreatment on day 159, the sample (Study II) was divided into three separate tubes. First, second and third tube was analysed on day 5, 10 and 15, respectively. All experimental parameters were studied using automated MicroScan Walk-Away® system. The 16S rDNA sequencing of lyophilized treated sample was carried out to correlate the phylogenetic relationship of C.

Our study aims to provide further information on the microbial variability of donkey milk under cold storage conditions. Therefore, we analysed by high-throughput sequencing the bacterial communities in unpasteurized donkey milk just milked, and after three days of conservation at 4 ◦C, respectively. Results showed that fresh donkey milk was characterized by a high incidence of spoilage Gram-negative bacteria mainly belonging to Pseudomonas spp. A composition lower than 5% of lactic acid bacteria was found in fresh milk samples, with Lactococcus spp. being the most abundant.

L. decemlineata has developed resistance to insecticides used for its control. In this study, in order to find a more effective potential biological control agent against L. decemlineata, we investigated its microbiota and tested their insecticidal effects. According to morphological, physiological and biochemical tests as well as 16S rDNA sequences, microbiota was identified as Leclercia adecarboxylata (Ld1), Acinetobacter sp. (Ld2), Acinetobacter sp. (Ld3), Pseudomonas putida (Ld4), Acinetobacter sp. (Ld5) and Acinetobacter haemolyticus (Ld6). The insecticidal activities of isolates at 1.8×109 bacteria/mL dose within five days were 100%, 100%, 35%, 100%, 47% and 100%, respectively, against the L. decemlineata larvae. The results indicate that Leclercia adecarboxylata (Ld1) and Pseudomonas putida (Ld4) isolates may be valuable potential biological control agents for biological control of L. decemlineata.

Summary Bacteria live in almost any imaginable environment, from the most extreme envi- ronments (e.g. in hydrothermal vents) to the bovine and human gastrointestinal tract. By adapting to such diverse environments, they have developed a large arsenal of enzymes involved in a wide variety of biochemical reactions. While some such enzymes support our digestion or can be used for the optimization of biotechnological processes, others may be harmful { e.g. mediating the roles of bacteria in human diseases.

Porcine nasal cavities are predominant habitats of LA-MRSA. Hence, components of their microbiota might be of interest as putative antagonistically acting competitors. Here, an extensive culturomics approach has been applied including 27 healthy pigs from seven different farms; five were treated with antibiotics prior to sampling. Overall, 314 different species with standing in nomenclature and 51 isolates representing novel bacterial taxa were detected. Staphylococcus aureus was isolated from pigs on all seven farms sampled, comprising ten different spa types with t899 (n = 15, 29.4%) and t337 (n = 10, 19.6%) being most frequently isolated. Twenty-six MRSA (mostly t899) were detected on five out of the seven farms. Positive correlations between MRSA colonization and age and colonization with Streptococcus hyovaginalis, and a negative correlation between colonization with MRSA and Citrobacter spp.
