Hence, the present study tried to identify microbial community in non-water flooding Zeilaei (ZZ) oil reservoir. Materials and methods: In this study, for the first time, non-water flooded high temperature Zeilaei oilfield was analyzed for its microbial community based on next generation sequencing of 16S rRNA genes. Results: The results obtained from this study indicated that the most abundant bacterial community belonged to phylum of Firmicutes (Bacilli ) and Thermotoga, while other phyla (Proteobacteria , Actinobacteria and Synergistetes ) were much less abundant. Bacillus subtilis , B. licheniformis , Petrotoga mobilis , P. miotherma, Fervidobacterium pennivorans , and Thermotoga subterranea were observed with high frequency. In addition, the most abundant archaea were Methanothermobacter thermautotrophicus . Discussion and conclusion: Although there are many reports on the microbial community of oil filed reservoirs, this is the first report of large quantities of Bacillus spp. -

In recent years, many novel species have been added to the established genera but, in many cases, one or more properties of the novel species do not agree with the published descriptions of the genera. Authors have often failed to provide emended genus descriptions when necessary. Following discussions of the International Committee on Systematics of Prokaryotes Subcommittee on the Taxonomy of Halobacteriaceae, we here propose emended descriptions of the genera Halobacterium, Haloarcula, Halococcus, Haloferax, Halorubrum, Haloterrigena, Natrialba, Halobiforma and Natronorubrum. The family Halobacteriaceae was established by Gibbons rRNA gene sequence-based phylogenetic trees rather than (1974) to accommodate the genera Halobacterium and on true polyphasic taxonomy such as recommended for the Halococcus. At the time of writing (September 2008), the family (Oren et al., 1997). As a result, there are often few, if family contained 96 species whose names have been validly any, phenotypic properties that enable the discrimination published, classified in 27 genera. -

Pan-Genome Analysis and Ancestral State Reconstruction Of
www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Pan‑genome analysis and ancestral state reconstruction of class halobacteria: probability of a new super‑order Sonam Gaba1,2, Abha Kumari2, Marnix Medema 3 & Rajeev Kaushik1* Halobacteria, a class of Euryarchaeota are extremely halophilic archaea that can adapt to a wide range of salt concentration generally from 10% NaCl to saturated salt concentration of 32% NaCl. It consists of the orders: Halobacteriales, Haloferaciales and Natriabales. Pan‑genome analysis of class Halobacteria was done to explore the core (300) and variable components (Softcore: 998, Cloud:36531, Shell:11784). The core component revealed genes of replication, transcription, translation and repair, whereas the variable component had a major portion of environmental information processing. The pan‑gene matrix was mapped onto the core‑gene tree to fnd the ancestral (44.8%) and derived genes (55.1%) of the Last Common Ancestor of Halobacteria. A High percentage of derived genes along with presence of transformation and conjugation genes indicate the occurrence of horizontal gene transfer during the evolution of Halobacteria. A Core and pan‑gene tree were also constructed to infer a phylogeny which implicated on the new super‑order comprising of Natrialbales and Halobacteriales. Halobacteria1,2 is a class of phylum Euryarchaeota3 consisting of extremely halophilic archaea found till date and contains three orders namely Halobacteriales4,5 Haloferacales5 and Natrialbales5. Tese microorganisms are able to dwell at wide range of salt concentration generally from 10% NaCl to saturated salt concentration of 32% NaCl6. Halobacteria, as the name suggests were once considered a part of a domain "Bacteria" but with the discovery of the third domain "Archaea" by Carl Woese et al.7, it became part of Archaea. -

These shifts are usually related to stress conditions such as low/high solar radiation, extreme temperatures, oxidative stress, pH variations, changes in salinity, or a high concentration of heavy metals. In addition, climate change is resulting in these stress conditions becoming more significant due to the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events. The most relevant damaging effect of these stressors is protein denaturation. To cope with this effect, organisms have developed different mechanisms, wherein the stress genes play an important role in deciding which of them survive. Each organism has different responses that involve the activation of many genes and molecules as well as downregulation of other genes and pathways. Focused on salinity stress, the archaeal domain encompasses the most significant extremophiles living in high-salinity environments. To have the capacity to withstand this high salinity without losing protein structure and function, the microorganisms have distinct adaptations. -

Characterization of the Microbial Population Inhabiting a Solar Saltern Pond of the Odiel Marshlands (SW Spain)
marine drugs Article Characterization of the Microbial Population Inhabiting a Solar Saltern Pond of the Odiel Marshlands (SW Spain) Patricia Gómez-Villegas, Javier Vigara and Rosa León * Laboratory of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Faculty of Experimental Sciences, Marine International Campus of Excellence (CEIMAR), University of Huelva, 21071 Huelva, Spain; [email protected] (P.G.-V.); [email protected] (J.V.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +34-959-219-951 Received: 28 June 2018; Accepted: 8 September 2018; Published: 12 September 2018 Abstract: The solar salterns located in the Odiel marshlands, in southwest Spain, are an excellent example of a hypersaline environment inhabited by microbial populations specialized in thriving under conditions of high salinity, which remains poorly explored. Traditional culture-dependent taxonomic studies have usually under-estimated the biodiversity in saline environments due to the difficulties that many of these species have to grow at laboratory conditions. Here we compare two molecular methods to profile the microbial population present in the Odiel saltern hypersaline water ponds (33% salinity). On the one hand, the construction and characterization of two clone PCR amplified-16S rRNA libraries, and on the other, a high throughput 16S rRNA sequencing approach based on the Illumina MiSeq platform. The results reveal that both methods are comparable for the estimation of major genera, although massive sequencing provides more information about the less abundant ones. The obtained data indicate that Salinibacter ruber is the most abundant genus, followed by the archaea genera, Halorubrum and Haloquadratum. However, more than 100 additional species can be detected by Next Generation Sequencing (NGS). In addition, a preliminary study to test the biotechnological applications of this microbial population, based on its ability to produce and excrete haloenzymes, is shown. -

Cells were Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, and coccoid in morphology. It grew at 25–50 ◦C (optimum 37 ◦C), pH 6.5–9.0 (optimum pH 8.0), and 10–30% (w/v) total salts (optimum 25% salts). The phylogenetic analyses based on the 16S rRNA and rpoB’ genes showed its affiliation with the genus Natronomonas and suggested its placement as a new species within this genus. The in silico DNA–DNA hybridization (DDH) and average nucleotide identity (ANI) analyses of this strain against closely related species supported its placement in a new taxon. The DNA G + C content of this isolate was 63.0 mol%. The polar lipids of strain F20-122T were phosphatidylglycerol phosphate methyl ester (PGP-Me), phosphatidylglycerol (PG), and phosphatidylglycerol sulfate (PGS). Traces of biphosphatidylglycerol (BPG) and other minor phospholipids and unidentified glycolipids were also present. Based on the phylogenetic, genomic, phenotypic, and chemotaxonomic characterization, we propose strain F20-122T (= CCM 8891T = CECT 9564T = JCM 33320T) as the type strain of a new species within the genus Natronomonas, with the name Natronomonas salsuginis sp. -
