The interactions of microbial communities in these environments are highly complex and still poorly understood. This work aimed to assess publicly available metagenomes from oil reservoirs and implement a robust pipeline of genome-resolved metagenomics to decipher metabolic and taxonomic profiles of petroleum reservoirs worldwide. Analysis of 301.2 Gb of metagenomic information derived from heavily flooded petroleum reservoirs in China and Alaska to non-flooded petroleum reservoirs in Brazil enabled us to reconstruct 148 metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) of high and medium quality. At the phylum level, 74% of MAGs belonged to bacteria and 26% to archaea. The profiles of these MAGs were related to the physicochemical parameters and recovery management applied.

  • Core Sulphate-Reducing Microorganisms in Metal-Removing Semi-Passive Biochemical Reactors and the Co-Occurrence of Methanogens
    microorganisms Article Core Sulphate-Reducing Microorganisms in Metal-Removing Semi-Passive Biochemical Reactors and the Co-Occurrence of Methanogens Maryam Rezadehbashi and Susan A. Baldwin * Chemical and Biological Engineering, University of British Columbia, 2360 East Mall, Vancouver, BC V6T 1Z3, Canada; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +1-604-822-1973 Received: 2 January 2018; Accepted: 17 February 2018; Published: 23 February 2018 Abstract: Biochemical reactors (BCRs) based on the stimulation of sulphate-reducing microorganisms (SRM) are emerging semi-passive remediation technologies for treatment of mine-influenced water. Their successful removal of metals and sulphate has been proven at the pilot-scale, but little is known about the types of SRM that grow in these systems and whether they are diverse or restricted to particular phylogenetic or taxonomic groups. A phylogenetic study of four established pilot-scale BCRs on three different mine sites compared the diversity of SRM growing in them. The mine sites were geographically distant from each other, nevertheless the BCRs selected for similar SRM types. Clostridia SRM related to Desulfosporosinus spp. known to be tolerant to high concentrations of copper were members of the core microbial community. Members of the SRM family Desulfobacteraceae were dominant, particularly those related to Desulfatirhabdium butyrativorans. Methanogens were dominant archaea and possibly were present at higher relative abundances than SRM in some BCRs. Both hydrogenotrophic and acetoclastic types were present. There were no strong negative or positive co-occurrence correlations of methanogen and SRM taxa. Knowing which SRM inhabit successfully operating BCRs allows practitioners to target these phylogenetic groups when selecting inoculum for future operations.

Wise Faculty of Life Sciences, Tel Aviv University, Tel Aviv, Israel Predatory bacteria are taxonomically disparate, exhibit diverse predatory strategies and are widely distributed in varied environments. To date, their predatory phenotypes cannot be discerned in genome sequence data thereby limiting our understanding of bacterial predation, and of its impact in nature. Here, we define the ‘predatome,’ that is, sets of protein families that reflect the phenotypes of predatory bacteria. The proteomes of all sequenced 11 predatory bacteria, including two de novo sequenced genomes, and 19 non-predatory bacteria from across the phylogenetic and ecological landscapes were compared. Protein families discriminating between the two groups were identified and quantified, demonstrating that differences in the proteomes of predatory and non-predatory bacteria are large and significant. This analysis allows predictions to be made, as we show by confirming from genome data an over-looked bacterial predator. The predatome exhibits deficiencies in riboflavin and amino acids biosynthesis, suggesting that predators obtain them from their prey. In contrast, these genomes are highly enriched in adhesins, proteases and particular metabolic proteins, used for binding to, processing and consuming prey, respectively.

Accepted: November 6, 2015 Abstract Porphyromonads play an important role in human periodontal disease and recently have been shown to be highly prevalent in canine mouths. Porphyromonas cangingivalis is the most prevalent canine oral bacterial species in both plaque from healthy gingiva and at University of Technology, Sydney on January 17, 2016 plaque from dogs with early periodontitis. The ability of P. cangingivalis to flourish in the different environmental conditions char- acterized by these two states suggests a degree of metabolic flexibility. To characterize the genes responsible for this, the genomes of 32 isolates (including 18 newly sequenced and assembled) from 18 Porphyromonad species from dogs, humans, and other mammals were compared. Phylogenetic trees inferred using core genes largely matched previous findings; however, comparative genomic analysis identified several genes and pathways relating to heme synthesis that were present in P. cangingivalis but not in other Porphyromonads. Porphyromonas cangingivalis has a complete protoporphyrin IX synthesis pathway potentially allowing it to syn- thesize its own heme unlike pathogenic Porphyromonads such as Porphyromonas gingivalis that acquire heme predominantly from blood.

  • Supplemental Material S1.Pdf
    Phylogeny of Selenophosphate synthetases (SPS) Supplementary Material S1 ! SelD in prokaryotes! ! ! SelD gene finding in sequenced prokaryotes! We downloaded a total of 8263 prokaryotic genomes from NCBI (see Supplementary Material S7). We scanned them with the program selenoprofiles (Mariotti 2010, http:// big.crg.cat/services/selenoprofiles) using two SPS-family profiles, one prokaryotic (seld) and one mixed eukaryotic-prokaryotic (SPS). Selenoprofiles removes overlapping predictions from different profiles, keeping only the prediction from the profile that seems closer to the candidate sequence. As expected, the great majority of output predictions in prokaryotic genomes were from the seld profile. We will refer to the prokaryotic SPS/SelD !genes as SelD, following the most common nomenclature in literature.! To be able to inspect results by hand, and also to focus on good-quality genomes, we considered a reduced set of species. We took the prok_reference_genomes.txt list from ftp://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/genomes/GENOME_REPORTS/, which NCBI claims to be a "small curated subset of really good and scientifically important prokaryotic genomes". We named this the prokaryotic reference set (223 species - see Supplementary Material S8). We manually curated most of the analysis in this set, while we kept automatized the !analysis on the full set.! We detected SelD proteins in 58 genomes (26.0%) in the prokaryotic reference set (figure 1 in main paper), which become 2805 (33.9%) when considering the prokaryotic full set (figure SM1.1). The difference in proportion between the two sets is due largely to the presence of genomes of very close strains in the full set, which we consider redundant.

This thermophilic genus is of special interest, as its members share relatively low degrees of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity and constitute a separate evolutionary li- neage from members of the genus Thermus, from which they can generally be distinguished by their slightly lower temperature optima.

Received: 1 March 2018; Accepted: 26 March 2018; Published: 27 March 2018 Abstract: The sequencing batch reactor (SBR) has been increasingly applied in the control of high organic wastewater. In this study, SBR with aerobic granular sludge was used for wastewater treatment in a noodle-manufacturing village in Vietnam. The results showed that after two months of operation, the chemical oxygen demand, total nitrogen and total phosphorous removal efficiency of aerobic granular SBR reached 92%, 83% and 75%, respectively.
