Validation of the Publication of New Names and New Combinations Previously Effectively Published Outside the IJSB List No INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SYSTEMATIC BACTERIOLOGY, OCt. 1986, p. 573-576 Vol. 36, No. 4 0020-7713/86/040573-04$~2.OO/O Copyright 0 1986, International Union of Microbiological Societies Validation of the Publication of New Names and New Combinations Previously Effectively Published Outside the IJSB List No. 22t The purpose of this announcement is to effect the valid publication of the following new names and new combinations under the procedufe described previously (Int. J. Syst. Bacteriol. 27(3):iv, 1977). Authors and other individuals wishing to have new names and/or combinations included in future lists should send the pertinent reprint or a photocopy thereof to the IJSB for confirmation that all of the other requirements for valid publication have been met. It should be noted that the date of valid publication of these new names and combinations is the date of publication of this list, not the date of the original publication of the names and combinations. The authors of the new names and combinations are as given below, arid these authors’ names will be included in the author index of the present issue and in the volume author index in this issue of the IJSB. Inclusion of a name on these lists validates the name and thereby makes it available in bacteriological nomenclature. The, inclusion of a name on this list is not to be construed as taxonomic acceptance of the taxon to which the name is applied. Indeed, some of these names may, in time, be shown to be synonyms, or the organism may be transferred to another genus, thus necessitating the creation of a new combination.

  • Nitrate Decreases Ruminal Methane Production with Slight Changes To
    Zhao et al. BMC Microbiology (2018) 18:21 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12866-018-1164-1 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Nitrate decreases ruminal methane production with slight changes to ruminal methanogen composition of nitrate- adapted steers Liping Zhao, Qingxiang Meng, Yan Li, Hao Wu, Yunlong Huo, Xinzhuang Zhang and Zhenming Zhou* Abstract Background: This study was conducted to examine effects of nitrate on ruminal methane production, methanogen abundance, and composition. Six rumen-fistulated Limousin×Jinnan steers were fed diets supplemented with either 0% (0NR), 1% (1NR), or 2% (2NR) nitrate (dry matter basis) regimens in succession. Rumen fluid was taken after two-week adaptation for evaluation of in vitro methane production, methanogen abundance, and composition measurements. Results: Results showed that nitrate significantly decreased in vitro ruminal methane production at 6 h, 12 h, and 24 h (P < 0.01; P < 0.01; P = 0.01). The 1NR and 2NR regimens numerically reduced the methanogen population by 4.47% and 25.82% respectively. However, there was no significant difference observed between treatments. The alpha and beta diversity of the methanogen community was not significantly changed by nitrate either. However, the relative abundance of the methanogen genera was greatly changed. Methanosphaera (PL = 0.0033) and Methanimicrococcus (PL = 0.0113) abundance increased linearly commensurate with increasing nitration levels, while Methanoplanus abundance was significantly decreased (PL = 0.0013). The population of Methanoculleus, the least frequently identified genus in this study, exhibited quadratic growth from 0% to 2% when nitrate was added (PQ = 0.0140). Conclusions: Correlation analysis found that methane reduction was significantly related to Methanobrevibacter and Methanoplanus abundance, and negatively correlated with Methanosphaera and Methanimicrococcus abundance.

Almost every surface is colonized by microorganisms, including our skin; however most of them are harmless to humans. Some microorganisms can live in boiling hot springs, whereas others form microbial communities in frozen sea ice. Among their many roles, microorganisms are necessary for biogeochemical cycling, soil fertility, decom- position of dead plants and animals and biodegradation of many complex organic compounds present in the environment. Environmental microbiology is concerned with the study of microorganisms in the soil, water and air and their application in bioremediation to reduce environmental pollution through the biological degra- dation of pollutants into non-toxic or less toxic substances. Field of environmental microbiology also covers the topics such as microbially induced biocorrosion, biodeterioration of constructing materials and microbiological quality of outdoor and indoor air. Keywords: microorganisms, environment, indicator microorganisms, biodegradation, bioremediation DOI: 10.1515/psr-2016-0118 Gentlemen, it is the microbes who will have the last word. (Louis Pasteur) 1 Evolution of microorganisms Earth is about 4.5 billion years old and scientists estimate that life first emerged at least 3.8 billion years ago after the surface of crust had cooled enough to allow liquid water to form.

  • 4 Metabolic and Taxonomic Diversification in Continental Magmatic Hydrothermal Systems
    Maximiliano J. Amenabar, Matthew R. Urschel, and Eric S. Boyd 4 Metabolic and taxonomic diversification in continental magmatic hydrothermal systems 4.1 Introduction Hydrothermal systems integrate geological processes from the deep crust to the Earth’s surface yielding an extensive array of spring types with an extraordinary diversity of geochemical compositions. Such geochemical diversity selects for unique metabolic properties expressed through novel enzymes and functional characteristics that are tailored to the specific conditions of their local environment. This dynamic interaction between geochemical variation and biology has played out over evolu- tionary time to engender tightly coupled and efficient biogeochemical cycles. The timescales by which these evolutionary events took place, however, are typically in- accessible for direct observation. This inaccessibility impedes experimentation aimed at understanding the causative principles of linked biological and geological change unless alternative approaches are used. A successful approach that is commonly used in geological studies involves comparative analysis of spatial variations to test ideas about temporal changes that occur over inaccessible (i.e. geological) timescales. The same approach can be used to examine the links between biology and environment with the aim of reconstructing the sequence of evolutionary events that resulted in the diversity of organisms that inhabit modern day hydrothermal environments and the mechanisms by which this sequence of events occurred. By combining molecu- lar biological and geochemical analyses with robust phylogenetic frameworks using approaches commonly referred to as phylogenetic ecology [1, 2], it is now possible to take advantage of variation within the present – the distribution of biodiversity and metabolic strategies across geochemical gradients – to recognize the extent of diversity and the reasons that it exists.

One process to modify chromatin and regulate DNA 5 accessibility is the replacement of histones in the nucleosome with paralogous variants. 6 Histones are also present in archaea but whether and how histone variants contribute to the 7 generation of different physiologically relevant chromatin states in these organisms remains 8 largely unknown. Conservation of paralogs with distinct properties can provide prima facie 9 evidence for defined functional roles.

  • Variations in the Two Last Steps of the Purine Biosynthetic Pathway in Prokaryotes

Accepted: February 16, 2019 Abstract The last two steps of the purine biosynthetic pathway may be catalyzed by different enzymes in prokaryotes. The genes that encode these enzymes include homologs of purH, purP, purO and those encoding the AICARFT and IMPCH domains of PurH, here named purV and purJ, respectively. In Bacteria, these reactions are mainly catalyzed by the domains AICARFT and IMPCH of PurH. In Archaea, these reactions may be carried out by PurH and also by PurP and PurO, both considered signatures of this domain and analogous to the AICARFT and IMPCH domains of PurH, respectively. These genes were searched for in 1,403 completely sequenced prokaryotic genomes publicly available. Our analyses revealed taxonomic patterns for the distribution of these genes and anticorrelations in their occurrence. The analyses of bacterial genomes revealed the existence of genes coding for PurV, PurJ, and PurO, which may no longer be considered signatures of the domain Archaea. Although highly divergent, the PurOs of Archaea and Bacteria show a high level of conservation in the amino acids of the active sites of the protein, allowing us to infer that these enzymes are analogs.

Conclusions Glossary Bibliography Biographical Sketches Summary Archaea are unique microorganisms that are adapted to survive in ecological niches such as high temperatures, extremes of pH, high salt concentrations and high pressure. They produce novel organic compounds and stable biocatalysts that function under extreme conditions comparable to those prevailing in various industrial processes. Some of the enzymes from Archaea have already been purified and their genes successfully cloned in mesophilic hosts. Enzymes such as amylases, pullulanases, cyclodextrin glycosyltransferases, cellulases, xylanases, chitinases, proteases, alcohol dehydrogenase,UNESCO esterases, and DNA-modifying – enzymesEOLSS are of potential use in various biotechnological processes including in the food, chemical and pharmaceutical industries. 1. Introduction SAMPLE CHAPTERS The industrial application of biocatalysts began in 1915 with the introduction of the first detergent enzyme by Dr. Röhm. Since that time enzymes have found wider application in various industrial processes and production (see Enzyme Production). The most important fields of enzyme application are nutrition, pharmaceuticals, diagnostics, detergents, textile and leather industries. There are more than 3000 enzymes known to date that catalyze different biochemical reactions among the estimated total of 7000; only 100 enzymes are being used industrially.
