Optimized Analysis of the Lung Allograft Microbiota from Bronchoalveolar Lavage Fluid Optimized Analysis of the Lung Allograft Microbiota from Bronchoalveolar Lavage Fluid by Janice Evana Prescod A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master of Science Department of Laboratory of Medicine and Pathobiology University of Toronto © Copyright by Janice Evana Prescod 2018 Optimized Analysis of the Lung Allograft Microbiota from Bronchoalveolar Lavage Fluid Janice Prescod Master of Science Department of Laboratory of Medicine and Pathobiology University of Toronto 2018 Abstract Introduction: Use of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) for analysis of the allograft microbiota in lung transplant recipients (LTR) by culture-independent analysis poses specific challenges due to its highly variable bacterial density. Approach: We developed a methodology to analyze low- density BALF using a serially diluted mock community and BALF from uninfected LTR. Methods/Results: A mock microbial community was used to establish the properties of true- positive taxa and contaminants in BALF. Contaminants had an inverse relationship with input bacterial density. Concentrating samples increased the bacterial density and the ratio of community taxa (signal) to contaminants (noise), whereas DNase treatment decreased density and signal:noise. Systematic removal of contaminants had an important impact on microbiota-inflammation correlations in BALF. Conclusions: There is an inverse relationship between microbial density and the proportion of contaminants within microbial communities across the density range of BALF. This study has implications for the analysis and interpretation of BALF microbiota. ii Acknowledgments To my supervisor, Dr. Bryan Coburn, I am eternally grateful for the opportunity you have given me by accepting me as your graduate student.

  • Enrichment of Beneficial Cucumber Rhizosphere Microbes Mediated By
    Wen et al. Horticulture Research (2020) 7:154 Horticulture Research https://doi.org/10.1038/s41438-020-00380-3 www.nature.com/hortres ARTICLE Open Access Enrichment of beneficial cucumber rhizosphere microbes mediated by organic acid secretion Tao Wen1,JunYuan1, Xiaoming He2,YueLin2,QiweiHuang1 andQirongShen 1 Abstract Resistant cultivars have played important roles in controlling Fusarium wilt disease, but the roles of rhizosphere interactions among different levels of resistant cultivars are still unknown. Here, two phenotypes of cucumber, one resistant and one with increased susceptibility to Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. cucumerinum (Foc), were grown in the soil and hydroponically, and then 16S rRNA gene sequencing and nontargeted metabolomics techniques were used to investigate rhizosphere microflora and root exudate profiles. Relatively high microbial community evenness for the Foc-susceptible cultivar was detected, and the relative abundances of Comamonadaceae and Xanthomonadaceae were higher for the Foc-susceptible cultivar than for the other cultivar. FishTaco analysis revealed that specific functional traits, such as protein synthesis and secretion, bacterial chemotaxis, and small organic acid metabolism pathways, were significantly upregulated in the rhizobacterial community of the Foc-susceptible cultivar. A machine- learning approach in conjunction with FishTaco plus metabolic pathway analysis revealed that four organic acids (citric acid, pyruvate acid, succinic acid, and fumarate) were released at higher abundance by the Foc-susceptible cultivar compared with the resistant cultivar, which may be responsible for the recruitment of Comamonadaceae, a potential beneficial microbial group. Further validation demonstrated that Comamonadaceae can be “cultured” by these organic acids. Together, compared with the resistant cultivar, the susceptible cucumber tends to assemble beneficial microbes by secreting more organic acids.

Downflow hanging sponge (DHS) reactors were used under aerobic and open conditions to investigate the potential for MnOB enrichment. The results of an experiment that required a continuous supply of organic feed solution containing Mn(II) demonstrated that MnOB enrichment and Mn(II) removal were unsuccessful in the DHS reactor when plain sponge cubes were used.

Strain AR20T grew optimally at pH 7.0‒8.0 and 25°C. It contained Q-8 as the pre- dominant ubiquinone and C16:0, summed feature 3 (C16:1ω7c and/or iso-C15:02OH), and C18:1ω7c as the major fatty acids. The DNA G+C content was 67.1 mol%. A neighbor-joining phylogenetic tree revealed that strain AR20T clustered with three type strains of the genus Hydrogenophaga (H. flava, H. bisanensis and H. pseudoflava). Strain AR20T exhibited 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity values of 95.8‒97.7% to the type strains of the genus Hydrogenophaga. On the basis of phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and phylogenetic data, strain AR20T is considered a novel species of the genus Hydrogenophaga, for which the name Hydrogenophaga electricum sp. nov. is pro- posed.

Nan-Tzu, Kaohsiung City 811, Taiwan bDepartment of Chemical Engineering, National Cheng Kung University, Tainan, Taiwan cTajen Institute of Technology, Yen-Pu, Pingtung, Taiwan Received 22 February 2005 Abstract During screening for amylase-producing bacteria, a strain designated On1T was isolated from a hot spring located in Pingtung area, which is near the very southern part of Taiwan. Cells of this organism were Gram-negative rods motile by means of a single polar flagellum. Optimum conditions for growthwere 55 1C and pH 7. Strain On1T grew well in minimal medium containing starchas thesole carbon source, and its extracellular products expressed amylase activity. The 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis indicates that strain On1T is a member of b-Proteobacteria. On the basis of a phylogenetic analysis of 16S rDNA sequences, DNA–DNA similarity data, physiological and biochemical characteristics, as well as fatty acid compositions, the organism belonged to the genus Caldimonas and represented a novel species within this genus. The predominant cellular fatty acids of strain On1T were 16:0 (about 30%), 18:1 o7c (about 20%) and summed feature 3 (16:1o7c or 15:0 iso 2OH or both[about 31%]).

The 16 beneficial activity of AMF may be positively affected by bacterial communities living 17 associated with mycorrhizal roots, spores and extraradical hyphae. Here we investigated 18 the diversity of bacterial communities associated with the spores of six AMF isolates, 19 belonging to different genera and species and maintained for several generations in pot- 20 cultures with the same host plant, under the same environmental conditions and with the 21 same soil. The occurrence of large bacterial communities intimately associated with 22 spores of the AMF isolates was revealed by PCR-DGGE analysis and sequencing of 1 23 DGGE bands. Cluster and canonical correspondence analysis showed that the six AMF 24 isolates displayed diverse bacterial community profiles unrelated with their taxonomic 25 position, suggesting that each AMF isolate recruits on its spores a different microbiota. 26 The 48 sequenced fragments were affiliated with Actinomycetales, Bacillales, 27 Pseudomonadales, Burkholderiales, Rhizobiales and with Mollicutes related 28 endobacteria (Mre).

    TAXONOMIC DESCRIPTION Carro et al., Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2017;67:1957–1960 DOI 10.1099/ijsem.0.001892 Delftia rhizosphaerae sp. nov. isolated from the rhizosphere of Cistus ladanifer Lorena Carro,1† Rebeca Mulas,2 Raquel Pastor-Bueis,2 Daniel Blanco,3 Arsenio Terrón,4 Fernando Gonzalez-Andr es, 2 Alvaro Peix5,6 and Encarna Velazquez 1,6,* Abstract A bacterial strain, designated RA6T, was isolated from the rhizosphere of Cistus ladanifer. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequence placed the isolate into the genus Delftia within a cluster encompassing the type strains of Delftia lacustris, Delftia tsuruhatensis, Delftia acidovorans and Delftia litopenaei, which presented greater than 97 % sequence similarity with respect to strain RA6T. DNA–DNA hybridization studies showed average relatedness ranging from of 11 to 18 % between these species of the genus Delftia and strain RA6T. Catalase and oxidase were positive. Casein was hydrolysed but gelatin and starch were not. Ubiquinone 8 was the major respiratory quinone detected in strain RA6T together with low amounts of ubiquinones 7 and 9. The major fatty acids were those from summed feature 3 (C16 : 1!7c/C16 : 1 !6c) and C16 : 0. The predominant polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylethanolamine. Phylogenetic, chemotaxonomic and phenotypic analyses showed that strain RA6T should be considered as a representative of a novel species of genus Delftia, for which the name Delftia rhizosphaerae sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is RA6T (=LMG 29737T= CECT 9171T).
