New molecular approaches, such as the low-oxygen environments (e.g., Moodley and Hess, 1992; metabarcoding, can provide new insights on foraminiferal ecology Bernhard, 1993; Jorissen et al., 1995; Moodley et al., 1997; and their feeding preferences (Chronopoulou et al., 2019).

Cells were Gram-stain- negative, catalase-negative, non-spore-forming, non-motile rods measuring 0.7–1.0 mm in width and 3.0–8.0 mm in length. The optimum temperature for growth of strain RL-CT was 37 6C (range 25–40 6C) and pH 7.0–7.5 (range pH 5.7–8.0). The strain could grow fermentatively on yeast extract, tryptone, arabinose, glucose, galactose, mannose, maltose, lactose, glycogen, pectin and starch. The main end products of glucose fermentation were acetate, H2 and CO2. Organic acids, alcohols and amino acids were not utilized for growth. Yeast extract was not required for growth; however, it stimulated growth slightly. Nitrate, sulfate, sulfite, thiosulfate, elemental sulfur and Fe(III) nitrilotriacetate were not reduced as terminal electron acceptors.

Cells of strain Q15T were Gram- stain-negative, strictly aerobic rods that produced circular, flat, orange colonies. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that Q15T was affiliated with the genus Carboxylicivirga in the family Marinilabiliaceae of the phylum Bacteroidetes. Strain Q15T differed genotypically from the type strains of the three recognized species of this genus (Carboxylicivirga taeanensis MEBiC 08903T, Carboxylicivirga mesophila MEBiC 07026T and Carboxylicivirga linearis FB218T) and shared 94.0–95.2 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity with them. The DNA G+C content of strain Q15T was 44.7 mol%. The predominant cellular fatty acids were iso-C15 : 0, anteiso-C15 : 0 and iso-C17 : 0 3-OH, and menaquinone MK-7 was the main respiratory quinone. Polar lipids contained phosphatidylethanolamine, an unidentified aminolipid, an unidentified phospholipid and other unknown lipids.

In this study, effects of exposure to six different antibiotics on the bacterial community, metabolic functions and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in marine sediments during enrichment culturing were investigated. Classical culture-dependent method and high-throughput 16S rRNA gene sequencing method were both applied. In the culture-dependent analysis, the obtained 1549 isolates belonged to four phyla (Proteobacteria, Firmicutes, Bacteroidetes and Actinobacteria) and 155 genera. Proteobacteria and Firmicutes were the dominant phyla. The diversity and abundance of obtained bacteria after antibiotic processing exhibited different degrees of decrease. Enrichment culturing for different time could also affect the bacterial community composition. Some genera of bacteria were not isolated in the control group, but they could be isolated in the antibiotic-treated groups. In high-throughput 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing analyses, all the effective reads were clustered into 2822 OTUs at 97% similarity cutoff; they were annotated to 49 phyla, 103 class, 220 orders, 347 families, 624 genera and 1122 species.

The major polar lipids were phosphatidylethanolamine, an unkown phospholipid and an unknown lipid. The DNA G+C contents of strains FH5T and SS4 were both determined to be 42.0 mol%. The results of DNA–DNA hybridization studies indicated that the FH5T and SS4 genomes share greater than 95 % relatedness. The strains formed a distinct phyletic line within the class Bacteroidia, with less than 89.4 % sequence similarity to their closest relatives with validly published names.

Received 23 March 2020 The present study provided the first data on the microsymbiont community with microbial gene Revised 17 June 2020 Accepted 28 June 2020 profiles and depositions of elements in gorgonian Echinomuricea cf. pulchra from parts of the Available online 30 December 2020 western Gulf of Thailand. Among all the microbes identified, the bacterial diversity was the most abundant in gorgonian corals. The Vibrionaceae and Marinilabiliaceae were the predominant Keywords: identified Gammaproteobacteria and Bacteroidetes, respectively. Of the other microbes, the Chemical deposition, Echinomuricea were dominated by the Mucorales for fungi, the Nitrosopumilales for Archaea and Gene prediction, Gorgonians, the Herpesvirales for viruses.

  • Ultra-Small Cells and a New Isolate of the Marinilabiliaceae and A
    Ultra‐small cells and a new isolate of the Marinilabiliaceae and a charismatic methanogen ‐ accidents and discoveries from Trunk River, Woods Hole Magdalena Mayr, EAWAG Kastanienbaum/ETH Zurich, Switzerland I. Abstract Ultra‐small bacterial/archaeal cells have a diameter below 0.2um and often show streamlined genomes, pointing at a symbiotic or free‐living life style. During the Microbial Diversity course in 2015 a Parcubacteria genome was assembled from the Trunk River Lemonade, and 16S rRNA amplicons showed evidence of small bacteria in this environment. The aim of the mini‐project was to explore if ultra‐small cells are indeed abundant in the Lemonade, to make these small cells visible and to track them down by cultivation approaches. Fluorescence (FISH) and electron microscopy appeared suitable to see ultra‐ small cells, although cells could not be distinguished unambiguously at all times, as they are at the limits of resolution of scanning electron microscopy and also fluorescence microscopy. Cultivation attempts yielded one isolate, a long flexible and very thin rod, obligate anaerobe, which belongs to the family of Marinilabiliaceae, phylum Bacteroidetes, representing at least a new species. As a side project a Methanosarcina enrichment, was investigated due to its charismatic and curious fluorescent dots of F420, which are usually not observed in Methanosarcina. II. Introduction Usually a filter with a pore size of 0.2um is used in environmental microbiological studies to harvest bacterial cells from the environment for further analysis. Despite that, there exist bacteria and archaea that pass through this pore size, and have a diameter below 0.2um. They are referred to as ultra‐small bacteria/archaeal cells, but also nanocells, dwarf cells, midget cells, nanosized cells are terms used to describe them (Duda et al., 2012; Luef et al., 2015).
