Strain YM22-133T was Gram-positive, aerobic, non-motile and rod shaped. The cell-wall peptidoglycan contained LL-DAP, glycine, alanine and hydroxyglutamate. The predominant menaquinone was MK-9 (H8), with MK-9 (H0), MK-9 (H2), MK-9 (H4) and MK-9 (H6) present as minor menaquinones. The G+C content of the genomic DNA from the strain was 68 mol%. Phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence showed that the strain is near- est to Acidimicrobium ferrooxidans DSM 10331T. However, the similarity is relatively low (87.1%) and the physiological characteristics are also different: Acidimicrobium ferrooxidans is thermo- tolerant and acidophilic. Therefore, strain YM22-133T can be classifi ed as a novel genus and species, Ilumatobacter fl uminis gen. nov., sp. nov. (type strain YM22-133T =DSM 18936T=MBIC 08263T).

In this study, natural attenuation and biostimulation of PCBs and microbial communities responsible for PCB transformations were investigated in Ohio River sediments. Natural attenuation of PCBs was negligible in sediments, which was likely attributed to low temperature conditions during most of the year, as well as low amounts of available nitrogen, phosphorus, and organic carbon.

  • Composition of Free-Living, Aggregate-Associated and Sediment Surface-Associated Bacterial Communities in the German Wadden Sea
    AQUATIC MICROBIAL ECOLOGY Vol. 38: 15–30, 2005 Published January 21 Aquat Microb Ecol Composition of free-living, aggregate-associated and sediment surface-associated bacterial communities in the German Wadden Sea Heike Stevens, Thorsten Brinkhoff, Meinhard Simon* Institute for Chemistry and Biology of the Marine Environment (ICBM), University of Oldenburg, PO Box 2503, 26111 Oldenburg, Germany ABSTRACT: The Wadden Sea is a tidal flat ecosystem at the land-sea interface of the southern North Sea with a high load of suspended matter and nutrients. Despite the general importance of microbial processes, the composition of bacterial communities in this ecosystem has been little studied. There- fore, we investigated the composition of the bacterial communities freely suspended (FL) in the bulk water, associated with suspended aggregates (AG) and with the oxic sediment surface (SE) over an annual cycle (April 1999 to June 2000) in the East Frisian Wadden Sea, by applying denaturing gra- dient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) of PCR-amplified 16S rRNA gene fragments. Wind strength, sus- pended particulate matter (SPM), particulate organic carbon (POC), chlorophyll, phaeopigments, and the composition of the phytoplankton community were also studied. The dynamics of these parame- ters covaried to various extents, but not systematically, with that of bacterial numbers and community composition. A cluster analysis revealed that the DGGE banding patterns of the 3 communities grouped separately even though band overlaps among the communities occurred. Some identical or highly similar phylotypes were found in the FL- and AG-associated communities, and in the AG- and SE-associated communities, as shown by sequence analysis of excised bands.

Although the stimulating effects of elevated CO2 (eCO2) on plant growth and primary productivity have been established, its impacts on the diversity and function of soil microbial communities are poorly understood. In this study, phylogenetic microarrays (PhyloChip) were used to comprehensively survey the richness, composition and structure of soil microbial communities in a grassland experiment subjected to two CO2 conditions (ambient, 368 p.p.m., versus elevated, 560 p.p.m.) for 10 years. The richness based on the detected number of operational taxonomic units (OTUs) significantly decreased under eCO2.

It is commonly believed that functional traits (generalists versus specialists) involved in the exploitation of resources depend on resource availability and environmental fluctuations. The longitudinal nature of stream ecosystems provides changing resources to stream biota with yet unknown effects on microbial functional traits and community structure.

  • Chemolithotrophic Nitrate-Dependent Fe(II)-Oxidizing Nature of Actinobacterial Subdivision Lineage TM3
    The ISME Journal (2013) 7, 1582–1594 & 2013 International Society for Microbial Ecology All rights reserved 1751-7362/13 www.nature.com/ismej ORIGINAL ARTICLE Chemolithotrophic nitrate-dependent Fe(II)-oxidizing nature of actinobacterial subdivision lineage TM3 Dheeraj Kanaparthi1, Bianca Pommerenke1, Peter Casper2 and Marc G Dumont1 1Department of Biogeochemistry, Max Planck Institute for Terrestrial Microbiology, Marburg, Germany and 2Leibniz-Institute of Freshwater Ecology and Inland Fisheries, Department of Limnology of Stratified Lakes, Stechlin, Germany Anaerobic nitrate-dependent Fe(II) oxidation is widespread in various environments and is known to be performed by both heterotrophic and autotrophic microorganisms. Although Fe(II) oxidation is predominantly biological under acidic conditions, to date most of the studies on nitrate-dependent Fe(II) oxidation were from environments of circumneutral pH. The present study was conducted in Lake Grosse Fuchskuhle, a moderately acidic ecosystem receiving humic acids from an adjacent bog, with the objective of identifying, characterizing and enumerating the microorganisms responsible for this process. The incubations of sediment under chemolithotrophic nitrate- dependent Fe(II)-oxidizing conditions have shown the enrichment of TM3 group of uncultured Actinobacteria. A time-course experiment done on these Actinobacteria showed a consumption of Fe(II) and nitrate in accordance with the expected stoichiometry (1:0.2) required for nitrate- dependent Fe(II) oxidation. Quantifications done by most probable number showed the presence of 1 Â 104 autotrophic and 1 Â 107 heterotrophic nitrate-dependent Fe(II) oxidizers per gram fresh weight of sediment. The analysis of microbial community by 16S rRNA gene amplicon pyrosequencing showed that these actinobacterial sequences correspond to B0.6% of bacterial 13 16S rRNA gene sequences.
