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. The only polyamine was homospermidine and the major polar lipid was phosphatidylethanolamine. The only respiratory quinone was MK-7 and the DNA G+C content was 40.3 mol%. Based on the phenotypic, phylogenetic and genotypic data, strain PTJT-5T is considered to represent a novel species of a new genus in the family Chitinophagaceae, for which the name Taibaiella smilacinae gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of Taibaiella smilacinae is PTJT-5T (5CCTCC AB 2013017T5KCTC 32316T). An emended description of Flavihumibacter petaseus is also proposed. The family Chitinophagaceae within the phylum Bacteroidetes unexplored as potential sources of novel species and novel was proposed by Ludwig et al.

    International Journal of Agriculture, Environment and Bioresearch Vol. 3, No. 05; 2018 ISSN: 2456-8643 METAGENOMIC ANALYSIS OF BACTERIAL COMMUNITIES IN THE RHIZOSPHERE OF STIPA CAPILLATA AND CENTAUREA DIFFUSA Oleg Zhurlov and Nataliya Nemtseva Institute For Cellular And Intracellular Symbiosis, Ural Branch Russian Academy Of Sciences, Pio-nerskaya St.11, 46000, Orenburg, Russia. ABSTRACT The effectiveness of bioremediation of unproductive agricultural lands and marginal lands, not only on the zonal climatic conditions and physico-chemical parameters of soil, but also on the used plants and rhizosphere microorganisms. The use of xerophytic perennial grasses, adapted to the regional climatic conditions and physico-chemical parameters of soils, will improve the efficiency of bioremediation of unproductive agricultural lands and marginal lands. The article presents the results of a comparative analysis of the prokaryotic communities of the rhizosphere of the two representatives of the xerophytes herbs - Stipa capillata and Centaurea diffusa. We have shown that the dominant position in the prokaryotic communities of the rhizosphere of Stipa capillata and Centaurea diffusa is the phyla Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria, Firmicutes, Bacteroidetes, Verrucomicrobia, Planctomycetes and Chloroflexi. The microorganisms with cellulolytic activity and the destructors of aromatic compounds included in the composition of prokaryotic communities in the rhizosphere of Stipa capillata and Centaurea diffusa. Keywords: Stipa capillata, Centaurea diffusa, 16s rRNA gene, bioremediation 1. INTRODUCTION Soil is not only the main means of agricultural production, but also an important component of terrestrial biocenoses, a regulator of the composition of the atmosphere, hydrosphere and a reliable barrier to the migration of pollutants. However, this irreplaceable component of the biosphere undergoes significant degradation as a result of anthropogenic impact.

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).

International Journal of Agricultural Technology 17(4):1363-1372. Abstract The whole microbiota structure in vermicomposting liquid derived from Thai earthworm, Perionyx sp. 1 was estimated. It showed high richness microbial species and belongs to 127 species, separated in 3 fungal phyla (Ascomycota, Basidiomycota, Mucoromycota), 1 Actinomycetes and 16 bacterial phyla (Acidobacteria, Armatimonadetes, Bacteroidetes, Balneolaeota, Candidatus, Chloroflexi, Deinococcus, Fibrobacteres, Firmicutes, Gemmatimonadates, Ignavibacteriae, Nitrospirae, Planctomycetes, Proteobacteria, Tenericutes and Verrucomicrobia). The OTUs data analysis revealed the highest taxonomic abundant ratio in bacteria and fungi belong to Proteobacteria (70.20 %) and Ascomycota (5.96 %). The result confirmed that Perionyx sp. 1
