The major cellular fatty acids (.10 %) were iso- C16 : 0, iso-C15 : 0,C16 : 1v7c alcohol and iso-C17 : 1v9c. The major polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylethanolamine. The major respiratory quinone was Q-8. The genomic DNA G+C content was 70.5 mol%. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strain CF5-1T was most closely related to Arenimonas malthae (95.3 % gene sequence similarity), Arenimonas oryziterrae (94.7 %), Arenimonas donghaensis (94.6 %) and Arenimonas composti (94.5 %). A taxonomic study using a polyphasic approach showed that strain CF5-1T represents a novel species of the genus Arenimonas, for which the name Arenimonas metalli sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is CF5-1T (5CGMCC 1.10787T5KCTC 23460T5CCTCC AB 2010449T).

  • Seed Interior Microbiome of Rice Genotypes Indigenous to Three
    Raj et al. BMC Genomics (2019) 20:924 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12864-019-6334-5 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Seed interior microbiome of rice genotypes indigenous to three agroecosystems of Indo-Burma biodiversity hotspot Garima Raj1*, Mohammad Shadab1, Sujata Deka1, Manashi Das1, Jilmil Baruah1, Rupjyoti Bharali2 and Narayan C. Talukdar1* Abstract Background: Seeds of plants are a confirmation of their next generation and come associated with a unique microbia community. Vertical transmission of this microbiota signifies the importance of these organisms for a healthy seedling and thus a healthier next generation for both symbionts. Seed endophytic bacterial community composition is guided by plant genotype and many environmental factors. In north-east India, within a narrow geographical region, several indigenous rice genotypes are cultivated across broad agroecosystems having standing water in fields ranging from 0-2 m during their peak growth stage. Here we tried to trap the effect of rice genotypes and agroecosystems where they are cultivated on the rice seed microbiota. We used culturable and metagenomics approaches to explore the seed endophytic bacterial diversity of seven rice genotypes (8 replicate hills) grown across three agroecosystems. Results: From seven growth media, 16 different species of culturable EB were isolated. A predictive metabolic pathway analysis of the EB showed the presence of many plant growth promoting traits such as siroheme synthesis, nitrate reduction, phosphate acquisition, etc. Vitamin B12 biosynthesis restricted to bacteria and archaea; pathways were also detected in the EB of two landraces. Analysis of 522,134 filtered metagenomic sequencing reads obtained from seed samples (n=56) gave 4061 OTUs.

In this study, we characterized in vitro the potential plant growth promoting (PGP) 21 properties of a gamma-proteobacterium, named MIMR1, originally isolated from apple shoots in 22 micropropagation. The analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence allowed the taxonomic identification of 23 MIMR1 as Luteibacter rhizovicinus. The PGP properties of MIMR1 were compared to Pseudomonas 24 chlororaphis subsp. aurantiaca DSM 19603T, which was selected as a reference PGP bacterium. By 25 means of in vitro experiments, we showed that L. rhizovicinus MIMR1 and P. chlororaphis DSM 19603T 26 have the ability to produce molecules able to chelate ferric ions and solubilize monocalcium phosphate. 27 On the contrary, both strains were apparently unable to solubilize tricalcium phosphate.

However, the diversity of bacteria associated with the roots of terrestrial orchids colonizing Andean ecosystems is limited. This study identifies and examines the capabilities of endophytic bacteria associated with peloton-containing roots of six terrestrial orchid species from southern Chile. To achieve our goals, we placed superficially disinfected root fragments harboring pelotons on oatmeal agar (OMA) with no antibiotic addition and cultured them until the bacteria appeared. Subsequently, they were purified and identified using molecular tools and examined for plant growth metabolites production and antifungal activity. In total, 168 bacterial strains were isolated and assigned to 8 OTUs. The orders Pseudomonadales, Burkholderiales, and Xanthomonadales of phylum Proteobacteria were the most frequent. The orders Bacillales and Flavobacteriales of the phylla Firmicutes and Bacteroidetes were also obtained.
