Woese6 and Nikos C. Kyrpides1 Abstract Halorubrum lacusprofundi is an extreme halophile within the archaeal phylum Euryarchaeota. The type strain ACAM 34 was isolated from Deep Lake, Antarctica. H. lacusprofundi is of phylogenetic interest because it is distantly related to the haloarchaea that have previously been sequenced. It is also of interest because of its psychrotolerance.

Halorubrum Chaoviator Mancinelli Et Al. 2009 Is a Later, Heterotypic Synonym of Halorubrum Ezzemoulense Kharroub Et Al
TAXONOMIC DESCRIPTION Corral et al., Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2018;68:3657–3665 DOI 10.1099/ijsem.0.003005 Halorubrum chaoviator Mancinelli et al. 2009 is a later, heterotypic synonym of Halorubrum ezzemoulense Kharroub et al. 2006. Emended description of Halorubrum ezzemoulense Kharroub et al. 2006 Paulina Corral,1 Rafael R. de la Haba,1 Carmen Infante-Domínguez,1 Cristina Sanchez-Porro, 1 Mohammad A. Amoozegar,2 R. Thane Papke3 and Antonio Ventosa1,* Abstract A polyphasic comparative taxonomic study of Halorubrum ezzemoulense Kharroub et al. 2006, Halorubrum chaoviator Mancinelli et al. 2009 and eight new Halorubrum strains related to these haloarchaeal species was carried out. Multilocus sequence analysis using the five concatenated housekeeping genes atpB, EF-2, glnA, ppsA and rpoB¢, and phylogenetic analysis based on the 757 core protein sequences obtained from their genomes showed that Hrr. ezzemoulense DSM 17463T, Hrr. chaoviator Halo-G*T (=DSM 19316T) and the eight Halorubrum strains formed a robust cluster, clearly separated from the remaining species of the genus Halorubrum. The orthoANI value and digital DNA–DNA hybridization value, calculated by the Genome-to-Genome Distance Calculator (GGDC), showed percentages among Hrr. ezzemoulense DSM 17463T, Hrr. chaoviator DSM 19316T and the eight Halorubrum strains ranging from 99.4 to 97.9 %, and from 95.0 to 74.2 %, respectively, while these values for those strains and the type strains of the most closely related species of Halorubrum were 88.7–77.4 % and 36.1– 22.3 %, respectively. Although some differences were observed, the phenotypic and polar lipid profiles were quite similar for all the strains studied. -

Maria Grimm1*, Martin Grube2, Ulf Schiefelbein3, Daniela Zühlke1, Jörg Bernhardt1 and Katharina Riedel1 1 Institute of Microbiology, University Greifswald, Greifswald, Germany, 2 Institute of Plant Sciences, Karl-Franzens-University Graz, Graz, Austria, 3 Botanical Garden, University of Rostock, Rostock, Germany Lichens represent self-supporting symbioses, which occur in a wide range of terrestrial habitats and which contribute significantly to mineral cycling and energy flow at a global scale. Lichens usually grow much slower than higher plants. Nevertheless, lichens can contribute substantially to biomass production. This review focuses on the lichen symbiosis in general and especially on the model species Lobaria pulmonaria L. Hoffm., which is a large foliose lichen that occurs worldwide on tree trunks in undisturbed forests with long ecological continuity. In comparison to many other lichens, L. pulmonaria is less tolerant to desiccation and highly sensitive to air pollution. The name- giving mycobiont (belonging to the Ascomycota), provides a protective layer covering a layer of the green-algal photobiont (Dictyochloropsis reticulata) and interspersed cyanobacterial cell clusters (Nostoc spec.). Recently performed metaproteome analyses Edited by: confirm the partition of functions in lichen partnerships.

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. -

Despite the advances in our understanding of microbial ecology in the past decade, important questions remain regarding the link between microbial diversity and geochemical factors under these extreme conditions. This dissertation first investigates a series of hot springs with wide ranges of temperature (26-92oC) and pH (3.72-8.2) from the Tibetan Plateau in China and the Philippines. Within each region, microbial diversity and geochemical conditions were studied using an integrated approach with 16S rRNA molecular phylogeny and a suite of geochemical analyses. In Tibetan springs, the microbial community was dominated by archaeal phylum Thaumarchaeota -

BISMiS-2016 Abstract Book Third Meeting of Bergey's International Society for Microbial Systematics on Microbial Systematics and Metagenomics September 12-15, 2016 | Pune, INDIA PUNE UNIT Abstracts - Opening Address - Keynotes Abstract Book | BISMiS-2016 | Pune, India Opening Address TAXONOMY OF PROKARYOTES - NEW CHALLENGES IN A GLOBAL WORLD Peter Kämpfer* Justus-Liebig-University Giessen, HESSEN, Germany Email: [email protected] Systematics can be considered as a comprehensive science, because in science it is an essential aspect in comparing any two or more elements, whether they are genes or genomes, proteins or proteomes, biochemical pathways or metabolomes (just to list a few examples), or whole organisms. The development of high throughput sequencing techniques has led to an enormous amount of data (genomic and other “omic” data) and has also revealed an extensive diversity behind these data. These data are more and more used also in systematics and there is a strong trend to classify and name the taxonomic units in prokaryotic systematics preferably on the basis of sequence data. Unfortunately, the knowledge of the meaning behind the sequence data does not keep up with the tremendous increase of generated sequences. The extent of the accessory genome in any given cell, and perhaps the infinite extent of the pan-genome (as an aggregate of all the accessory genomes) is fascinating but it is an open question if and how these data should be used in systematics. Traditionally the polyphasic approach in bacterial systematics considers methods including both phenotype and genotype. And it is the phenotype that is (also) playing an essential role in driving the evolution. -

Delineation of Clade1 and Clade3 from Clade2 was supported by robust clustering and high bootstrap values of more than 90% and 100% in all the phylogenetic methods. 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity shared by Clade1 and Clade2 was 88 to 93%, Clade1 and Clade3 was 88 to 91% and Clade2 and Clade3 was 89 to 92%. Based on robust phylogenetic clustering, less than 93.0% sequence similarity, unique in silico restriction patterns, presence of distinct signature nucleotides and signature motifs in their 16S rRNA gene sequences, two more genera were carved to accommodate species of Clade1 and Clade3. The name Hymenobacter, sensu stricto, was retained to represent 17 species of Clade2. For members of Clade1 and Clade3, the names Siccationidurans gen. nov. and Parahymenobacter gen. nov. were proposed, respectively, and species belonging to Clade1 and Clade3 were transferred to their respective genera.
