Glucanoacetobacter GLUCANOACETOBACTER INTRODUCTION Glucanoacetobacter is a genuine in the phylum proto bacteria. It is like rod shape and circular ends. It can be classified as gram negative bacterium. The bacterium is known for stimulating plant growth and being tolerant to acetic acid with one to three lateral flagella and known to be found on sugar cane. Gluconacetobacter diazotrophicus was discovered in Brazil by Bladimir A Cavalcante and Johannna/Dobereiner. Domain: Bacteria Phylum: Proteobacteria Class :Alphaproteobacteria Order : Rhodospirillales Family: Acetobacteraceae Genus:Gluconacetobacter Species:G.diazotrophicus CHARACTERISTICS Originally found in Alagoas, Brazil, Gluconacetobacter diazotrophicus is a bacterium that has several interesting features and aspects which are important to note. The bacterium was first discovered by Vladimir A. Cavalcante and Johanna Dobereiner while analyzing sugarcane in Brazil. Gluconacetobacter diazotrophicus is a part of the Acetobacteraceae family and started out with the name, Saccharibacter nitrocaptans, however, the bacterium is renamed as Acetobacter diazotrophicus because the bacterium is found to belong with bacteria that are able to tolerate acetic acid. Again, the bacterium’s name was changed to Gluconacetobacter diazotrophicus when its taxonomic position was resolved using 16s ribosomal RNA analysis. In addition to being a part of the Acetobacter family, Gluconacetobacter azotrophicus belongs to the Proteobacteria phylum, the Alphaprotebacteria class, and the Gluconacetobacter genus while being a part of the Rhodosprillales order. Other nitrogen-fixing species in this same genus include Gluconacetobacter azotocaptans and Gluconacetobacter johannae. Gluconacetobacter diazotrophicus cells are shaped like rods, have ends that are circular or round, and have anywhere from one to three flagella that are lateral. Based on these descriptions of the cell, Gluconacetobacter diazotrophicus can be classified with the bacillus genus. The cells be viewed as darkish brown or orange colonies under a microscope addition, the cells are aerobic which describes their need of oxygen. Because the bacterium is found on sugar cane when first discovered, as explained prior, and reacts strongly to high amounts of sugar, Gram Negative is the correct classification for Gluconacetobacter diazotrophicus. In addition to sugarcane, G. diazotrophicus has been found in different plants like coffee tree and pineapple. Gluconacetobacter diazotrophicus is also known for nitrogen fixation. .

  • Deep Divergence and Rapid Evolutionary Rates in Gut-Associated Acetobacteraceae of Ants Bryan P
    Brown and Wernegreen BMC Microbiology (2016) 16:140 DOI 10.1186/s12866-016-0721-8 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Deep divergence and rapid evolutionary rates in gut-associated Acetobacteraceae of ants Bryan P. Brown1,2 and Jennifer J. Wernegreen1,2* Abstract Background: Symbiotic associations between gut microbiota and their animal hosts shape the evolutionary trajectories of both partners. The genomic consequences of these relationships are significantly influenced by a variety of factors, including niche localization, interaction potential, and symbiont transmission mode. In eusocial insect hosts, socially transmitted gut microbiota may represent an intermediate point between free living or environmentally acquired bacteria and those with strict host association and maternal transmission. Results: We characterized the bacterial communities associated with an abundant ant species, Camponotus chromaiodes. While many bacteria had sporadic distributions, some taxa were abundant and persistent within and across ant colonies. Specially, two Acetobacteraceae operational taxonomic units (OTUs; referred to as AAB1 and AAB2) were abundant and widespread across host samples. Dissection experiments confirmed that AAB1 and AAB2 occur in C. chromaiodes gut tracts. We explored the distribution and evolution of these Acetobacteraceae OTUs in more depth. We found that Camponotus hosts representing different species and geographical regions possess close relatives of the Acetobacteraceae OTUs detected in C. chromaiodes. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that AAB1 and AAB2 join other ant associates in a monophyletic clade. This clade consists of Acetobacteraceae from three ant tribes, including a third, basal lineage associated with Attine ants. This ant-specific AAB clade exhibits a significant acceleration of substitution rates at the 16S rDNA gene and elevated AT content.

  • Transition from Unclassified Ktedonobacterales to Actinobacteria During Amorphous Silica Precipitation in a Quartzite Cave Envir
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Transition from unclassifed Ktedonobacterales to Actinobacteria during amorphous silica precipitation in a quartzite cave environment D. Ghezzi1,2, F. Sauro3,4,5, A. Columbu3, C. Carbone6, P.‑Y. Hong7, F. Vergara4,5, J. De Waele3 & M. Cappelletti1* The orthoquartzite Imawarì Yeuta cave hosts exceptional silica speleothems and represents a unique model system to study the geomicrobiology associated to silica amorphization processes under aphotic and stable physical–chemical conditions. In this study, three consecutive evolution steps in the formation of a peculiar blackish coralloid silica speleothem were studied using a combination of morphological, mineralogical/elemental and microbiological analyses. Microbial communities were characterized using Illumina sequencing of 16S rRNA gene and clone library analysis of carbon monoxide dehydrogenase (coxL) and hydrogenase (hypD) genes involved in atmospheric trace gases utilization. The frst stage of the silica amorphization process was dominated by members of a still undescribed microbial lineage belonging to the Ktedonobacterales order, probably involved in the pioneering colonization of quartzitic environments. Actinobacteria of the Pseudonocardiaceae and Acidothermaceae families dominated the intermediate amorphous silica speleothem and the fnal coralloid silica speleothem, respectively. The atmospheric trace gases oxidizers mostly corresponded to the main bacterial taxa present in each speleothem stage. These results provide novel understanding of the microbial community structure accompanying amorphization processes and of coxL and hypD gene expression possibly driving atmospheric trace gases metabolism in dark oligotrophic caves. Silicon is one of the most abundant elements in the Earth’s crust and can be broadly found in the form of silicates, aluminosilicates and silicon dioxide (e.g., quartz, amorphous silica).

  • Roseomonas Aerofrigidensis Sp. Nov., Isolated from an Air Conditioner
    TAXONOMIC DESCRIPTION Hyeon and Jeon, Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2017;67:4039–4044 DOI 10.1099/ijsem.0.002246 Roseomonas aerofrigidensis sp. nov., isolated from an air conditioner Jong Woo Hyeon and Che Ok Jeon* Abstract A Gram-stain-negative, strictly aerobic bacterium, designated HC1T, was isolated from an air conditioner in South Korea. Cells were orange, non-motile cocci with oxidase- and catalase-positive activities and did not contain bacteriochlorophyll a. Growth of strain HC1T was observed at 10–45 C (optimum, 30 C), pH 4.5–9.5 (optimum, pH 7.0) and 0–3 % (w/v) NaCl T (optimum, 0 %). Strain HC1 contained summed feature 8 (comprising C18 : 1!7c/C18 : 1!6c), C16 : 0 and cyclo-C19 : 0!8c as the major fatty acids and ubiquinone-10 as the sole isoprenoid quinone. Phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylcholine and an unknown aminolipid were detected as the major polar lipids. The major carotenoid was hydroxyspirilloxanthin. The G+C content of the genomic DNA was 70.1 mol%. Phylogenetic analysis, based on 16S rRNA gene sequences, showed that strain HC1T formed a phylogenetic lineage within the genus Roseomonas. Strain HC1T was most closely related to the type strains of Roseomonas oryzae, Roseomonas rubra, Roseomonas aestuarii and Roseomonas rhizosphaerae with 98.1, 97.9, 97.6 and 96.8 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities, respectively, but the DNA–DNA relatedness values between strain HC1T and closely related type strains were less than 70 %. Based on phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and molecular properties, strain HC1T represents a novel species of the genus Roseomonas, for which the name Roseomonas aerofrigidensis sp.

Those microorganisms are a source of other valuable compounds, including among others cellulose, gluconic acid and dihydroxyacetone. A number of inves- tigations have recently been conducted into the optimization of the process of glycerol biotransformation into dihydroxyacetone (DHA) with the use of acetic acid bacteria of the species Gluconobacter and Acetobacter. DHA is observed to be increasingly employed in dermatology, medicine and cosmetics. The manuscript addresses pathways of synthesis of that compound and an overview of methods that enable increasing the effectiveness of glycerol transformation into dihydroxyacetone.

  • Evolution of Methanotrophy in the Beijerinckiaceae&Mdash
    The ISME Journal (2014) 8, 369–382 & 2014 International Society for Microbial Ecology All rights reserved 1751-7362/14 www.nature.com/ismej ORIGINAL ARTICLE The (d)evolution of methanotrophy in the Beijerinckiaceae—a comparative genomics analysis Ivica Tamas1, Angela V Smirnova1, Zhiguo He1,2 and Peter F Dunfield1 1Department of Biological Sciences, University of Calgary, Calgary, Alberta, Canada and 2Department of Bioengineering, School of Minerals Processing and Bioengineering, Central South University, Changsha, Hunan, China The alphaproteobacterial family Beijerinckiaceae contains generalists that grow on a wide range of substrates, and specialists that grow only on methane and methanol. We investigated the evolution of this family by comparing the genomes of the generalist organotroph Beijerinckia indica, the facultative methanotroph Methylocella silvestris and the obligate methanotroph Methylocapsa acidiphila. Highly resolved phylogenetic construction based on universally conserved genes demonstrated that the Beijerinckiaceae forms a monophyletic cluster with the Methylocystaceae, the only other family of alphaproteobacterial methanotrophs. Phylogenetic analyses also demonstrated a vertical inheritance pattern of methanotrophy and methylotrophy genes within these families. Conversely, many lateral gene transfer (LGT) events were detected for genes encoding carbohydrate transport and metabolism, energy production and conversion, and transcriptional regulation in the genome of B. indica, suggesting that it has recently acquired these genes. A key difference between the generalist B. indica and its specialist methanotrophic relatives was an abundance of transporter elements, particularly periplasmic-binding proteins and major facilitator transporters. The most parsimonious scenario for the evolution of methanotrophy in the Alphaproteobacteria is that it occurred only once, when a methylotroph acquired methane monooxygenases (MMOs) via LGT.
