Gray collected from Taibai Mountain in Shaanxi Province, north-west China, and was subjected to a taxonomic study by using a polyphasic approach. The novel isolate grew optimally at 25–28 6C and pH 6.0–7.0. Flexirubin-type pigments were produced. Cells were Gram-reaction-negative, strictly aerobic, rod-shaped and non-motile. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain PTJT-5T was a member of the phylum Bacteroidetes, exhibiting the highest sequence similarity to Lacibacter cauensis NJ-8T (87.7 %). The major cellular fatty acids were iso-C15 : 0, iso-C15 : 1 G, iso-C17 : 0 and iso-C17 : 0 3-OH. -

Our results showed that river water and sediment harbored distinct communities in terms of diversity and composition at genus level. The distribution of the bacterial communities was mainly affected by both salinity and temperature in sediment samples, and by oxygen in water samples. -

Aiming at the problem of the low removal efficiency of biological nitrogen-removing of low temperature waste-water, using Polyurethane Porous Gel Carrier (PPGC)-SBMBBR treated low temperature sewage, in compared with conventional SBR,and viaing Miseq high-throughput sequencing technology in analysis of the differences of microbial diversity and abundance of structure on the two reactors of activated sludge, revealed dominant nitrogen-removing bacterium improving the treatment efficiency of low temperature sewage. The results shows that the removal efficiency of the effluent nitrogen and the sludge sedimentation rate of (PPGC)-SBMBBR reactor are significantly improved under the water temperature (6.5±1℃). Adding the filler can contribute to improvement of bacterial diversity and relative abundance of nitrification and denitrification bacterium in the activated sludge system. The main relative abundance of ammonia oxidizing bacteria (AOB),nitrite oxidizing bacteria (NOB),anaerobic denitrifying bacteria, and aerobic denitrifying bacteria in (PPGC)-SBMBBR(R2) are significantly better than SBR (R1),and the R2 reactor can independently enrich the nitrifying bacteria and the aerobic denitrifying bacteria, such as Nitrospira, Hydrogens, Pseudomonas, and Zoogloea. The total relative abundance of dominant and nitrifying denitrifying bacterium increases from 28.65% of R1 to 60.23% of R2, providing a microbiological reference for improving the efficiency of biological nitrogen removal in low temperature waste-water. -
Non -Supplemented’ Represents the Unamended Sediment
Figure S1: Control microcosms for the ibuprofen degradation experiment (Fig. 1). ‘Non -supplemented’ represents the unamended sediment. The abiotic controls ‘Sorption’ and ‘Hydrolysis’ contained autoclaved sediment and river water, respectively, and were amended with 200 µM ibuprofen. Value s are the arithmetic means of three replicate incubations. Red and blue-headed arrows indicate sampling of the sediment for nucleic acids extraction after third and fifth re-spiking, respectively. Error bars indicating standard deviations are smaller than the size of the symbols and therefore not apparent.

Accepted: March 9, 2020 Abstract Lichens are valuable models in symbiosis research and promising sources of biosynthetic genes for biotechnological applications. Most lichenized fungi grow slowly, resist aposymbiotic cultivation, and are poor candidates for experimentation. Obtaining contig- uous, high-quality genomes for such symbiotic communities is technically challenging. Here, we present the first assembly of a lichen holo-genome from metagenomic whole-genome shotgun data comprising both PacBio long reads and Illumina short reads. The nuclear genomes of the two primary components of the lichen symbiosis—the fungus Umbilicaria pustulata (33 Mb) and the green alga Trebouxia sp. (53 Mb)—were assembled at contiguities comparable to single-species assemblies. The analysis of the read coverage pattern revealed a relative abundance of fungal to algal nuclei of 20:1. -
The Capacity of Wastewater Treatment Plants Drives Bacterial Community
www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN The capacity of wastewater treatment plants drives bacterial community structure and its Received: 23 July 2019 Accepted: 23 September 2019 assembly Published: xx xx xxxx Young Kyung Kim1, Keunje Yoo1,3, Min Sung Kim2, Il Han2, Minjoo Lee1, Bo Ram Kang2, Tae Kwon Lee2 & Joonhong Park1 Bacterial communities in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) afect plant functionality through their role in the removal of pollutants from wastewater. Bacterial communities vary extensively based on plant operating conditions and infuent characteristics. The capacity of WWTPs can also afect the bacterial community via variations in the organic or nutrient composition of the infuent. Despite the importance considering capacity, the characteristics that control bacterial community assembly are largely unknown. In this study, we discovered that bacterial communities in WWTPs in Korea and Vietnam, which difer remarkably in capacity, exhibit unique structures and interactions that are governed mainly by the capacity of WWTPs. Bacterial communities were analysed using 16S rRNA gene sequencing and exhibited clear diferences between the two regions, with these diferences being most pronounced in activated sludge. We found that capacity contributed the most to bacterial interactions and community structure, whereas other factors had less impact. Co-occurrence network analysis showed that microorganisms from high-capacity WWTPs are more interrelated than those from low- capacity WWTPs, which corresponds to the tighter clustering of bacterial communities in Korea. These results will contribute to the understanding of bacterial community assembly in activated sludge processing. Wastewater treatment encompasses the processes that convert contaminated water into a sufciently clean state that can be discharged to surface water with minimal adverse environmental impact.
