However, high glycemic index and low resistant starch content of processed rice often appear as an impediment to continuing its use as staple food for a large population; especially who are at the risk of diabetes type 2. To address this problem the present study was aimed at developing an improved variety of O. sativa var. Swarna with increased amylose through RNA interference of rice starch branching enzyme 3 (RBE 3) gene involved in starch biosynthesis pathway in order to facilitate increased resistant starch production after cooking Therefore, a fragment of rbe 3 gene of 540 bp was set apart and characterized by the presence of the conserved peptide motifs responsible for its substrate binding and catalytic activity in the derived amino acid sequence.

    Characterization of Bacterial Communities Associated

    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Characterization of bacterial communities associated with blood‑fed and starved tropical bed bugs, Cimex hemipterus (F.) (Hemiptera): a high throughput metabarcoding analysis Li Lim & Abdul Hafz Ab Majid* With the development of new metagenomic techniques, the microbial community structure of common bed bugs, Cimex lectularius, is well‑studied, while information regarding the constituents of the bacterial communities associated with tropical bed bugs, Cimex hemipterus, is lacking. In this study, the bacteria communities in the blood‑fed and starved tropical bed bugs were analysed and characterized by amplifying the v3‑v4 hypervariable region of the 16S rRNA gene region, followed by MiSeq Illumina sequencing. Across all samples, Proteobacteria made up more than 99% of the microbial community. An alpha‑proteobacterium Wolbachia and gamma‑proteobacterium, including Dickeya chrysanthemi and Pseudomonas, were the dominant OTUs at the genus level. Although the dominant OTUs of bacterial communities of blood‑fed and starved bed bugs were the same, bacterial genera present in lower numbers were varied. The bacteria load in starved bed bugs was also higher than blood‑fed bed bugs. Cimex hemipterus Fabricus (Hemiptera), also known as tropical bed bugs, is an obligate blood-feeding insect throughout their entire developmental cycle, has made a recent resurgence probably due to increased worldwide travel, climate change, and resistance to insecticides1–3. Distribution of tropical bed bugs is inclined to tropical regions, and infestation usually occurs in human dwellings such as dormitories and hotels 1,2. Bed bugs are a nuisance pest to humans as people that are bitten by this insect may experience allergic reactions, iron defciency, and secondary bacterial infection from bite sores4,5.

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.

    Meta-Analysis Cum Machine Learning Approaches Address the Structure

    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Meta‑analysis cum machine learning approaches address the structure and biogeochemical potential of marine copepod associated bacteriobiomes Balamurugan Sadaiappan1,5, Chinnamani PrasannaKumar1,5, V. Uthara Nambiar1, Mahendran Subramanian2,3,4 & Manguesh U. Gauns1* Copepods are the dominant members of the zooplankton community and the most abundant form of life. It is imperative to obtain insights into the copepod‑associated bacteriobiomes (CAB) in order to identify specifc bacterial taxa associated within a copepod, and to understand how they vary between diferent copepods. Analysing the potential genes within the CAB may reveal their intrinsic role in biogeochemical cycles. For this, machine‑learning models and PICRUSt2 analysis were deployed to analyse 16S rDNA gene sequences (approximately 16 million reads) of CAB belonging to fve diferent copepod genera viz., Acartia spp., Calanus spp., Centropages sp., Pleuromamma spp., and Temora spp.. Overall, we predict 50 sub‑OTUs (s‑OTUs) (gradient boosting classifers) to be important in fve copepod genera. Among these, 15 s‑OTUs were predicted to be important in Calanus spp. and 20 s‑OTUs as important in Pleuromamma spp.. Four bacterial s‑OTUs Acinetobacter johnsonii, Phaeobacter, Vibrio shilonii and Piscirickettsiaceae were identifed as important s‑OTUs in Calanus spp., and the s‑OTUs Marinobacter, Alteromonas, Desulfovibrio, Limnobacter, Sphingomonas, Methyloversatilis, Enhydrobacter and Coriobacteriaceae were predicted as important s‑OTUs in Pleuromamma spp., for the frst time. Our meta‑analysis revealed that the CAB of Pleuromamma spp. had a high proportion of potential genes responsible for methanogenesis and nitrogen fxation, whereas the CAB of Temora spp. had a high proportion of potential genes involved in assimilatory sulphate reduction, and cyanocobalamin synthesis.

    MICROBIAL ABUNDANCE AND DIVERSITY IN RESPONSE TO NUTRIENT ADDITION IN SUBSEAFLOOR OCEAN CRUST AT ATLANTIS BANK, SOUTHWEST INDIAN RIDGE A Thesis by Shu Ying Wee Submitted to the Office of Graduate and Professional Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE Chair of Committee, Jason B. Sylvan Committee Members, Jessica Labonté Shari Yvon-Lewis Head of Department, Shari Yvon-Lewis August 2019 Major Subject: Oceanography Copyright 2019 Shu Ying Wee ABSTRACT Olivine in the presence of seawater will undergo a reaction known as serpentinization to form the mineral serpentine in addition to hydrogen, methane, and short chain hydrocarbons, which can be metabolized by microorganisms. Environments where serpentinization reactions occur are therefore hypothesized to support microbial life. The goal of the International Ocean Discovery Program (IODP) Expedition 360 (X360) was to recover a representative transect of the lower oceanic crust formed at Atlantis Bank, an oceanic core complex on the southwest Indian Ridge. Recovered cores were primarily gabbro and olivine gabbro, which may potentially host serpentinization reactions and associated microbial life. The goal of this thesis project was to quantify in situ microbial cells, analyze the microbial community structure of the in situ rock samples, and assess if nutrient supply influences the microbial community and methane production using a nutrient addition incubation approach. It was found that the microbial cell abundance is positively correlated to vein presence in rocks for certain depths. Microbial community diversity, assessed via 16S rRNA amplicon analysis, was extremely variable with depth. Additionally, different nutrient treatments added to incubations from twelve depths did not have an observable effect on the microbial diversity or methane production.

    MICROBIAL BIODIVERSITY WITHIN THE VIBRIONACEAE MICHELE K. NISHIGUCHI AND BRYAN W. JONES New Mexico State University, Department of Biology Box 30001, MSC 3AF, Las Cruces, NM, 88003-8001 USA 1. The Vibrionaceae 1.1. A GENERAL DESCRIPTION Vibrio takes its name from the Latin word Vibrare, meaning ‘to wave’. Otto Müller first used the word Vibrio as a descriptor in the 18th century to describe bacteria with an elongated shape observed in culture (Rossello-Mora and Amann 2001). The family Vibrionaceae, first described by Véron (1965), resides within the g-proteobacteria, one of the five subdivisions of the phylum Proteobacteria within the domain Bacteria. All Proteobacteria are gram negative. This extremely metabolically diverse group of bacteria of medical and industrial importance has been divided into five subdivisions (a, b, d, g, and e) on the basis of 16S rRNA sequence data. The g-Proteobacteria are divided into three major subgroups, denoted g-1, g-2, and g-3. Members of the g-1 and g-2 subgroups contain sulfur producing photosynthetic bacteria and members of the family Legionella, respectively. The g-3 subgroup consist of a “potpourri” of organisms, including oceanospirilla, many pseudomonads, the enterics, and the Vibrionaceae (Woese et al. 1985). Vibrionaceae is one of 22 families within the 14 orders of the g-Proteobacteria. Members of this family were first described as oxidase-positive, motile bacteria with polar flagella (Krieg and Holt 1984). More recent data demonstrate that all Vibrionaceae species are either straight or curved rods, with some species not having oxidase-positive phenotypes (Vibrio metschnikovii, V.
