Phylogenetic analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that this organism represented one distinct branch within the family Sphingobacteriaceae, most closely related to the genus Mucilaginibacter. Strain M47C3BT formed a distinct lineage, closely related to Mucilaginibacter dorajii KACC 14556T, with which it shared 97.2 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity. The other members of the genus Mucilaginibacter included in the same clade were Mucilaginibacter lappiensis ATCC BAA-1855T sharing 97.0 % similarity and Mucilaginibacter composti TR6-03T that had a lower similarity (95.7 %). The novel strain was Gram-staining-negative, formed rod-shaped cells, grew optimally at 26 6C and at pH 7, and was able to grow with up to 0.3 % (w/v) NaCl. The respiratory quinone was menaquinone 7 (MK-7) and the major fatty acids of the strain were summed feature 3 (C16 : 1v7c/iso-C15 : 0 2-OH), iso-C15 : 0 and iso-C17 : 0 3-OH, representing 73.5 % of the total fatty acids. The major components of the polar lipid profile of strain M47C3BT consisted of phosphatidylethanolamine, three unidentified aminophospholipids, one unidentified aminolipid and three unidentified polar lipids. The G+C content of the DNA was 40.6 mol%. On the basis of the phylogenetic analysis and physiological and biochemical characteristics we propose the name Mucilaginibacter pineti sp. nov. for the novel species represented by strain M47C3BT (5CIP 110632T5LMG 28160T). The genus Mucilaginibacter of the family Sphingobac- myungsuensis (Joung & Joh, 2011), M. angelicae (Kim teriaceae, phylum Bacteroidetes, was first described by et al., 2012a), M. litoreus (Yoon et al., 2012), M. lutimaris Pankratov et al.

Surprisingly, the microbiota of S. mediterranea remains poorly investi- gated. Using the culturomics strategy to study the bacterial component of planarians, we isolated a new bacterial strain, Marseille-Q2390, which we characterized with the taxono-genomic approach that associates phenotypic assays and genome sequencing and analysis. Strain Marseille-Q2390 exhibited a 16S rRNA sequence similarity of 99.36% with Pedobacter kyungheensis strain THG-T17T, the closest phylogenetic neighbor. It is a white-pigmented, Gram-negative, and rod-shaped bacterium. It grows in aerobic conditions and belongs to the family Sphingobacteriaceae. The genome of strain Marseille-Q2390 is 5,919,359 bp-long, with a G + C content of 40.3%.

Precipitation and Particulate Matter Properties S1.1 Precipitation Categorization In this study, we have segregated our precipitation samples into four different categories, such as (1) snows, (2) hails/thunderstorms, (3) long-lasted rains, and (4) weak rains. For this categorization, we have considered both our observation-based as well as the disdrometer-assigned National Weather Service (NWS) 20 code. Initially, the precipitation samples had been assigned one of the four categories based on our manual observation. In the next step, we have used each NWS code and its occurrence in each precipitation sample to finalize the precipitation category. During this step, a precipitation sample was categorized into snow, only when we identified a snow type NWS code (Snow: S-, S, S+ and/or Snow Grains: SG). Likewise, a precipitation sample was categorized into hail/thunderstorm, only when the cumulative sum of NWS codes for hail was 25 counted more than five times (i.e., A + SP ≥ 5; where A and SP are the codes for soft hail and hail, respectively).

Despite the impressive ability of A. ant- arcticus to thrive in harsh Antarctic conditions, little is known about the biology of this species. In this study, we performed 16S rRNA gene sequencing to examine the microbiome of the fnal immature instar (tritonymph) and both male and female adults. The microbiome included a limited number of microbial classes and genera, with few diferences in community membership noted among the diferent stages. However, the abundances of taxa that composed the microbial community difered between adults and tritonymphs. Five classes—Actinobacteria, Flavobacteriia, Sphingobacteriia, Gammaproteobac- teria, and Betaproteobacteria—comprised ~ 82.0% of the microbial composition, and fve (identifed) genera—Dermacoccus, Pedobacter, Chryseobacterium, Pseudomonas, and Flavobacterium—accounted for ~ 68.0% of the total composition. The core microbiome present in all surveyed A. antarcticus was dominated by the families Flavobacteriaceae, Comamonadaceae, Sphingobacteriaceae, Chitinophagaceae and Cytophagaceae, but the majority of the core consisted of operational taxonomic units of low abundance.

Across the animal kingdom, including in gastropods, gut microbiomes have profound effects on the health of the host. Current knowledge regarding snail gut microbiomes, particularly throughout various life history stages, is limited. Understanding snail gut microbiome composition and dynamics can provide an initial step toward better conservation and management of this species. Results: In this study, we employed 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing to examine gut bacteria communities in wild-caught O. strigosa populations from the Front Range of Colorado. These included three treatment groups: (1) adult and (2) fetal snails, as well as (3) sub-populations of adult snails that were starved prior to ethanol fixation. Overall, O. strigosa harbors a high diversity of bacteria. We sequenced the V4 region of the 16S rRNA gene on an Illumina MiSeq and obtained 2,714,330 total reads. We identified a total of 7056 unique operational taxonomic units (OTUs) belonging to 36 phyla. The core gut microbiome of four unique OTUs accounts for roughly half of all sequencing reads returned and may aid the snails’ digestive processes. Significant differences in microbial composition, as well as richness, evenness, and Shannon Indices were found across the three treatment groups.

This article is published with open access Abstract Understanding how biological patterns translate into functional processes across different scales is a central question in ecology. Within a spatial context, extent is used to describe the overall geographic area of a study, whereas grain describes the overall unit of observation. This study aimed to characterize the snake skin microbiota (grain) and to determine host–microbial assemblage–pathogen effects across spatial extents within the Southern United States. The causative agent of snake fungal disease, Ophidiomyces ophiodiicola, is a fungal pathogen threatening snake populations. We hypothesized that the skin microbial assemblage of snakes differs from its surrounding environment, by host species, spatial scale, season, and 1234567890();,: 1234567890();,: in the presence of O. ophiodiicola. We collected snake skin swabs, soil samples, and water samples across six states in the Southern United States (macroscale extent), four Tennessee ecoregions (mesoscale extent), and at multiple sites within each Tennessee ecoregion (microscale extent). These samples were subjected to DNA extraction and quantitative PCR to determine the presence/absence of O. ophiodiicola. High-throughput sequencing was also utilized to characterize the microbial communities. We concluded that the snake skin microbial assemblage was partially distinct from environmental microbial communities.

Read Full License Page 1/30 Abstract In 2017, the 560-ha area of hybrid poplar plantation in northern Poland showed symptoms of tree decline. Leaves appeared smaller, turned yellow-brown, and were shed prematurely. Twigs and smaller branches died. Bark was sunken and discolored, often loosened and split. Trunks decayed from the base. Phloem and xylem showed brown necrosis. Ten per cent of trees died in 1–2 months. None of these symptoms was typical for known poplar diseases. Bacteria in soil and the necrotic base of poplar trunk were analysed with Illumina sequencing. Soil and wood were colonized by at least 615 and 249 taxa. The majority of bacteria were common to soil and wood. The most common taxa in soil were: Acidobacteria (14.757%), Actinobacteria (14.583%), Proteobacteria (36.872) with Betaproteobacteria (6.516%), Burkholderiales (6.102%), Comamonadaceae (2.786%), and Verrucomicrobia (5.307%).The most common taxa in wood were: Bacteroidetes (22.722%) including Chryseobacterium (5.074%), Flavobacteriales (10.873%), Sphingobacteriales (9.396%) with Pedobacter cryoconitis (7.306%), Proteobacteria (73.785%) with Enterobacteriales (33.247%) including Serratia (15.303%) and Sodalis (6.524%), Pseudomonadales (9.829%) including Pseudomonas (9.017%), Rhizobiales (6.826%), Sphingomonadales (5.646%), and Xanthomonadales (11.194%).

It shows resistance to multiple heavy metals and can adsorb/remove Zn2+ and Cd2+ during cultivation. In addition, strain TBZ30T produces exopolysaccharides (EPS). These features make it a great potential to bioremediate heavy metal contamination and biotechnical application. Here we describe the genome sequence and annotation of strain TBZ30T. The genome size is 7,035,113 bp, contains 3132 protein-coding genes (2736 with predicted functions), 50 tRNA encoding genes and 14 rRNA encoding genes. Putative heavy metal resistant genes and EPS associated genes are found in the genome. Keywords: Mucilaginibacter pedocola, Genome sequence, Heavy metal resistance, Exopolysaccharides Introduction addition, strain TBZ30T is able to produce EPS. The The genus Mucilaginibacter was first established by genomic information of strain TBZ30T are provided. Pankratov et al. in 2007 and the type species is Mucilagi- nibacter paludis [1]. The common characteristics of this Organism information genus are Gram-negative, non-spore-forming, non- Classification and features motile, rod-shaped and producing exopolysaccharides Similarity analysis was performed using neighbor-joining (EPS) [1, 2]. EPS are long-chain polysaccharides and method based on the 16S rRNA gene sequences and a consist of branched, repeating units of sugars or sugar phylogenetic tree was constructed using MEGA version 6.0 derivatives [3].

Based on 16S rRNA gene phylogeny, the novel strains represent three new branches within the genus Mucilaginibacter. The strains were aerobic, chemo-organotrophic, non-motile rods and formed pigmented, smooth, mucoid colonies on solid media. The strains grew between 0 and 33 6C (optimum growth at 25 6C) and at pH 4.5–8.0 (optimum growth at pH 6.0). The main cellular fatty acids were iso-C15 : 0, summed feature 3 (C16 : 1v7c/iso-C15 : 0 2- OH) and iso-C17 : 0 3-OH and the major respiratory quinone was MK-7. The DNA G+C contents were 44.0–46.5 mol%. Based on phylogenetic, phenotypic and chemotaxonomic data, the strains represent three novel species of the genus Mucilaginibacter for which the names Mucilaginibacter frigoritolerans sp.

  • Metagenome-Assembled Genomes Provide New Insight Into The
    www.nature.com/scientificreports Corrected: Author Correction OPEN Metagenome-assembled genomes provide new insight into the microbial diversity of two thermal Received: 17 August 2018 Accepted: 17 January 2019 pools in Kamchatka, Russia Published online: 28 February 2019 Laetitia G. E. Wilkins1,2, Cassandra L. Ettinger 2, Guillaume Jospin2 & Jonathan A. Eisen 2,3,4 Culture-independent methods have contributed substantially to our understanding of global microbial diversity. Recently developed algorithms to construct whole genomes from environmental samples have further refned, corrected and revolutionized understanding of the tree of life. Here, we assembled draft metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) from environmental DNA extracted from two hot springs within an active volcanic ecosystem on the Kamchatka peninsula, Russia. This hydrothermal system has been intensively studied previously with regard to geochemistry, chemoautotrophy, microbial isolation, and microbial diversity. We assembled genomes of bacteria and archaea using DNA that had previously been characterized via 16S rRNA gene clone libraries. We recovered 36 MAGs, 29 of medium to high quality, and inferred their placement in a phylogenetic tree consisting of 3,240 publicly available microbial genomes. We highlight MAGs that were taxonomically assigned to groups previously underrepresented in available genome data. This includes several archaea (Korarchaeota, Bathyarchaeota and Aciduliprofundum) and one potentially new species within the bacterial genus Sulfurihydrogenibium. Putative functions in both pools were compared and are discussed in the context of their diverging geochemistry. This study adds comprehensive information about phylogenetic diversity and functional potential within two hot springs in the caldera of Kamchatka. Terrestrial hydrothermal systems are of great interest to the general public and to scientists alike due to their unique and extreme conditions.
