Microbial Diversity of Non-Flooded High Temperature Petroleum Reservoir in South of Iran
Archive of SID Biological Journal of Microorganism th 8 Year, Vol. 8, No. 32, Winter 2020 Received: November 18, 2018/ Accepted: May 21, 2019. Page: 15-231- 8 Microbial Diversity of Non-flooded High Temperature Petroleum Reservoir in South of Iran Mohsen Pournia Department of Microbiology, Shiraz Branch, Islamic Azad University, Shiraz, Iran, [email protected] Nima Bahador * Department of Microbiology, Shiraz Branch, Islamic Azad University, Shiraz, Iran, [email protected] Meisam Tabatabaei Biofuel Research Team (BRTeam), Karaj, Iran, [email protected] Reza Azarbayjani Molecular bank, Iranian Biological Resource Center, ACECR, Karaj, Iran, [email protected] Ghassem Hosseni Salekdeh Department of Biology, Agricultural Biotechnology Research Institute, Karaj, Iran, [email protected] Abstract Introduction: Although bacteria and archaea are able to grow and adapted to the petrol reservoirs during several years, there are no results from microbial diversity of oilfields with high temperature in Iran. 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. -

Lasker, PhD Hans-Peter Klenk, PhD Lesley Hoyles, PhD Catherine Spröer Peter Schumann June Brown Order of Authors Secondary Information: Funding Information: Abstract: Three human clinical strains (W9323T, X0209T and X0394) isolated from lung biopsy, blood and cerebral spinal fluid, respectively, were characterized using a polyphasic taxonomic approach. Comparative analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequences showed the three strains belonged to two novel branches within the genus Kroppenstedtia: 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis of W9323T showed closest sequence similarity to Kroppenstedtia eburnea JFMB-ATE T (95.3 %), Kroppenstedtia guangzhouensis GD02T (94.7 %) and strain X0209T (94.6 %); sequence analysis of strain X0209T showed closest sequence similarity to K. eburnea JFMB-ATE T (96.4 %) and K. guangzhouensis GD02T (96.0 %). Strains X0209T and X0394 were 99.9 % similar to each other by 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis. The DNA-DNA relatedness was 94.6 %, confirming that X0209T and X0394 belong to the same species. -
The Shiga Toxin Producing Escherichia Coli

Hansen Animal Health & Nutrition, 2970 Hørsholm, Denmark * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 22 May 2020; Accepted: 7 June 2020; Published: 10 June 2020 Abstract: For approximately 10,000 years, cattle have been our major source of meat and dairy. However, cattle are also a major reservoir for dangerous foodborne pathogens that belong to the Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) group. Even though STEC infections in humans are rare, they are often lethal, as treatment options are limited. In cattle, STEC infections are typically asymptomatic and STEC is able to survive and persist in the cattle GIT by escaping the immune defenses of the host. Interactions with members of the native gut microbiota can favor or inhibit its persistence in cattle, but research in this direction is still in its infancy. Diet, temperature and season but also industrialized animal husbandry practices have a profound effect on STEC prevalence and the native gut microbiota composition. Thus, exploring the native cattle gut microbiota in depth, its interactions with STEC and the factors that affect them could offer viable solutions against STEC carriage in cattle. Keywords: cattle; STEC colonization; microbiota; bacterial interactions 1. Introduction The domestication of cattle, approximately 10,000 years ago [1], brought a stable supply of protein to the human diet, which was instrumental for the building of our societies. -
Extensive Microbial Diversity Within the Chicken Gut Microbiome Revealed by Metagenomics and Culture

Safra Campus, Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Jerusalem, Israel 9 Department of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology, University of Sheffield, Sheffield, UK ABSTRACT Background: The chicken is the most abundant food animal in the world. However, despite its importance, the chicken gut microbiome remains largely undefined. Here, we exploit culture-independent and culture-dependent approaches to reveal extensive taxonomic diversity within this complex microbial community. Results: We performed metagenomic sequencing of fifty chicken faecal samples from Submitted 4 December 2020 two breeds and analysed these, alongside all (n = 582) relevant publicly available Accepted 22 January 2021 chicken metagenomes, to cluster over 20 million non-redundant genes and to Published 6 April 2021 construct over 5,500 metagenome-assembled bacterial genomes.
