Abstract: Hydrogen sulfide is a toxic compound that can affect various groups of water microorgan- isms. Photolithotrophic sulfur bacteria including Chromatiaceae and Chlorobiaceae are able to convert inorganic substrate (hydrogen sulfide and carbon dioxide) into organic matter deriving energy from photosynthesis. This process takes place in the absence of molecular oxygen and is referred to as anoxygenic photosynthesis, in which exogenous electron donors are needed. These donors may be reduced sulfur compounds such as hydrogen sulfide. This paper deals with the description of this metabolic process, representatives of the above-mentioned families, and discusses the possibility using anoxygenic phototrophic microorganisms for the detoxification of toxic hydrogen sulfide. Moreover, their general characteristics, morphology, metabolism, and taxonomy are described as Citation: Kushkevych, I.; Bosáková, well as the conditions for isolation and cultivation of these microorganisms will be presented.

  • Nitrogen-Fixing, Photosynthetic, Anaerobic Bacteria Associated with Pelagic Copepods
    - AQUATIC MICROBIAL ECOLOGY Vol. 12: 105-113. 1997 Published April 10 , Aquat Microb Ecol Nitrogen-fixing, photosynthetic, anaerobic bacteria associated with pelagic copepods Lita M. Proctor Department of Oceanography, Florida State University, Tallahassee, Florida 32306-3048, USA ABSTRACT: Purple sulfur bacteria are photosynthetic, anaerobic microorganisms that fix carbon di- oxide using hydrogen sulfide as an electron donor; many are also nitrogen fixers. Because of the~r requirements for sulfide or orgamc carbon as electron donors in anoxygenic photosynthesis, these bac- teria are generally thought to be lim~tedto shallow, organic-nch, anoxic environments such as subtidal marine sediments. We report here the discovery of nitrogen-fixing, purple sulfur bactena associated with pelagic copepods from the Caribbean Sea. Anaerobic incubations of bacteria associated with fuU- gut and voided-gut copepods resulted in enrichments of purple/red-pigmented purple sulfur bacteria while anaerobic incubations of bacteria associated with fecal pellets did not yield any purple sulfur bacteria, suggesting that the photosynthetic anaerobes were specifically associated with copepods. Pigment analysis of the Caribbean Sea copepod-associated bacterial enrichments demonstrated that these bactena possess bacter~ochlorophylla and carotenoids in the okenone series, confirming that these bacteria are purple sulfur bacteria. Increases in acetylene reduction paralleled the growth of pur- ple sulfur bactena in the copepod ennchments, suggesting that the purple sulfur bacteria are active nitrogen fixers. The association of these bacteria with planktonic copepods suggests a previously unrecognized role for photosynthetic anaerobes in the marine S, N and C cycles, even in the aerobic water column of the open ocean.

  • Biofilm Forming Purple Sulfur Bacteria Enrichment from Trunk River
    Different biofilm-forming purple sulfur bacteria enriched from Trunk River Xiaolei Liu Abstract Three different types of biofilm were developed on the bottles of purple sulfur bacteria enrichments. The original inoculum is a piece of sea grass covered with purple biofilm that collected from Trunk River during the course. Microscopy imaging showed that two of the three biofilms were apparently composed of two major species. MonoFISH probing supports the recognition of purple sulfur bacteria as Chromatium in the class of gammaproteobacteria which grow together with a deltaproteobacteria species. Such a combination of Chromatium colonize with deltaproteobacteria species is also originally present in the purple biofilm on sea grass. Further work is needed to investigate the potential interactions between these two species. Introduction Purple sulfur bacteria are photosynthetic anearobes in the phylum of Proteobacteria (Fowler et al., 1984), which is capable of fixing carbon dioxide with sulfide other than water as the electron donors. Since oxygen is not produced during their photosynthesis these purple sulfur bacteria are also known as anoxygenic photoautotrophs. Most purple sulfur bacteria synthesize bacteriochlorophyll and carotenoids as their light-harvesting pigment complex (Iba et al., 1988). Because their photosynthesis reQuires anoxic condition and sulfide, these purple sulfur bacteria are often found in organic rich aquatic environments where sulfate reducing heterotrophic bacteria thrive. Both planktonic and benthic species of purple sulfur bacteria exist in different sulfidic environments. In the habitat of stratified meromictic lakes with external sulfate input, such as Green Lake, Mahoney Lake and Lake Cadagno, the phototrophic chemocline microbial communities are often dominated by planktonic purple sulfur bacteria living on sulfide diffused up from organic rich sediment (e.g.

A single population of purple sulfur bacte- ria (PSB) living in a dense phototrophic plate in the chemocline is responsible for most of the primary pro- duction in Mahoney Lake. Here, we present metagenomic data from this phototrophic plate – including the genome of the major PSB, as obtained from both a highly enriched culture and from the metagenomic data – as well as evidence for multiple other taxa that contribute to the oxidative sulfur cycle and to sulfate reduction.

  • The Eastern Nebraska Salt Marsh Microbiome Is Well Adapted to an Alkaline and Extreme Saline Environment
    life Article The Eastern Nebraska Salt Marsh Microbiome Is Well Adapted to an Alkaline and Extreme Saline Environment Sierra R. Athen, Shivangi Dubey and John A. Kyndt * College of Science and Technology, Bellevue University, Bellevue, NE 68005, USA; [email protected] (S.R.A.); [email protected] (S.D.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: The Eastern Nebraska Salt Marshes contain a unique, alkaline, and saline wetland area that is a remnant of prehistoric oceans that once covered this area. The microbial composition of these salt marshes, identified by metagenomic sequencing, appears to be different from well-studied coastal salt marshes as it contains bacterial genera that have only been found in cold-adapted, alkaline, saline environments. For example, Rubribacterium was only isolated before from an Eastern Siberian soda lake, but appears to be one of the most abundant bacteria present at the time of sampling of the Eastern Nebraska Salt Marshes. Further enrichment, followed by genome sequencing and metagenomic binning, revealed the presence of several halophilic, alkalophilic bacteria that play important roles in sulfur and carbon cycling, as well as in nitrogen fixation within this ecosystem. Photosynthetic sulfur bacteria, belonging to Prosthecochloris and Marichromatium, and chemotrophic sulfur bacteria of the genera Sulfurimonas, Arcobacter, and Thiomicrospira produce valuable oxidized sulfur compounds for algal and plant growth, while alkaliphilic, sulfur-reducing bacteria belonging to Sulfurospirillum help balance the sulfur cycle. This metagenome-based study provides a baseline to understand the complex, but balanced, syntrophic microbial interactions that occur in this unique Citation: Athen, S.R.; Dubey, S.; inland salt marsh environment.

  • Novel Magnetite-Producing Magnetotactic Bacteria Belonging to the Gammaproteobacteria
    Novel magnetite-producing magnetotactic bacteria belonging to the Gammaproteobacteria Christopher T Lefe`vre , Nathan Viloria , Marian L Schmidt , Miha´ly Po´sfai , Richard B Frankel and Dennis A Bazylinski Two novel magnetotactic bacteria (MTB) were isolated from sediment and water collected from the Badwater Basin, Death Valley National Park and southeastern shore of the Salton Sea, respectively, and were designated as strains BW-2 and SS-5, respectively. Both organisms are rod-shaped, biomineralize magnetite, and are motile by means of flagella. The strains grow chemolithoauto- trophically oxidizing thiosulfate and sulfide microaerobically as electron donors, with thiosulfate oxidized stoichiometrically to sulfate. They appear to utilize the Calvin–Benson–Bassham cycle for autotrophy based on ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (RubisCO) activity and the presence of partial sequences of RubisCO genes. Strains BW-2 and SS-5 biomineralize chains of octahedral magnetite crystals, although the crystals of SS-5 are elongated. Based on 16S rRNA gene sequences, both strains are phylogenetically affiliated with the Gammaproteobacteria class. Strain SS-5 belongs to the order Chromatiales; the cultured bacterium with the highest 16S rRNA gene sequence identity to SS-5 is Thiohalocapsa marina (93.0%). Strain BW-2 clearly belongs to the Thiotrichales; interestingly, the organism with the highest 16S rRNA gene sequence identity to this strain is Thiohalospira alkaliphila (90.2%), which belongs to the Chromatiales. Each strain represents a new genus. This is the first report of magnetite-producing MTB phylogenetically associated with the Gammaproteobacteria. This finding is important in that it significantly expands the phylogenetic diversity of the MTB.

  • Influence of Culture Conditions on the Fatty Acids Composition of Green and Purple Photosynthetic Sulphur Bacteria
    Chapter 6 Influence of Culture Conditions on the Fatty Acids Composition of Green and Purple Photosynthetic Sulphur Bacteria María Teresa Núñez-Cardona Additional information is available at the end of the chapter http://dx.doi.org/10.5772/57389 1. Introduction As was published in [1], based on 16S rRNA sequences, prokaryotes are divided into two primary groups: Archaebacteria (Archaea) and Eubacteria (Bacteria). With the exception of Cyanobacteria, all the main lineages of photosynthetic organisms belong to the Eubacterial Phyla and the unrelated halobacterial species. Within Eubacteria, photosynthetic organisms are found according to the following divisions: (i) gram-positive bacteria belonging to the family Heliobacteriaceae, (ii) green non-sulphur bacteria (also known as filamentous green bacteria) such as Chloroflexus aurantiacus, (iii) green sulphur bacteria such as Chlorobium tepidum, (iv) cyanobacteria, (v) and several genera of proteobacteria (or purple bacteria) [1]. Anoxygenic green and purple photosynthetic sulphur bacteria (GPSB/PPSB) are anaerobes. They do not release O2 by photosynthesis, and as electron donors for this process, they use sulphur and its derivatives. These microorganisms have bacteriochlorophyll (Bchl) and accessory carotene pigments that include spirilloxanthin, okenone and chlorobactene pigment series. Photosynthetic pigments in green photosynthetic sulphur bacteria (GPSB) include Bchl c, d and e, as well as chlorobactene and isorenieratene. PPSB may contain Bchl a or b. In general, these photosynthetic microorganisms present one kind of Bchl, except in GPSB - which could have small quantities of Bchl a - they belong to the Chlorobiaceae family. PPSB comprise the families Chromatiaceae (e.g., Chromatium or Halochromatium) and Ectothiorhodospiraceae. © 2014 The Author(s). Licensee InTech.
