  • The Microbiota Continuum Along the Female Reproductive Tract and Its Relation to Uterine-Related Diseases
    ARTICLE DOI: 10.1038/s41467-017-00901-0 OPEN The microbiota continuum along the female reproductive tract and its relation to uterine-related diseases Chen Chen1,2, Xiaolei Song1,3, Weixia Wei4,5, Huanzi Zhong 1,2,6, Juanjuan Dai4,5, Zhou Lan1, Fei Li1,2,3, Xinlei Yu1,2, Qiang Feng1,7, Zirong Wang1, Hailiang Xie1, Xiaomin Chen1, Chunwei Zeng1, Bo Wen1,2, Liping Zeng4,5, Hui Du4,5, Huiru Tang4,5, Changlu Xu1,8, Yan Xia1,3, Huihua Xia1,2,9, Huanming Yang1,10, Jian Wang1,10, Jun Wang1,11, Lise Madsen 1,6,12, Susanne Brix 13, Karsten Kristiansen1,6, Xun Xu1,2, Junhua Li 1,2,9,14, Ruifang Wu4,5 & Huijue Jia 1,2,9,11 Reports on bacteria detected in maternal fluids during pregnancy are typically associated with adverse consequences, and whether the female reproductive tract harbours distinct microbial communities beyond the vagina has been a matter of debate. Here we systematically sample the microbiota within the female reproductive tract in 110 women of reproductive age, and examine the nature of colonisation by 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing and cultivation. We find distinct microbial communities in cervical canal, uterus, fallopian tubes and perito- neal fluid, differing from that of the vagina. The results reflect a microbiota continuum along the female reproductive tract, indicative of a non-sterile environment. We also identify microbial taxa and potential functions that correlate with the menstrual cycle or are over- represented in subjects with adenomyosis or infertility due to endometriosis. The study provides insight into the nature of the vagino-uterine microbiome, and suggests that sur- veying the vaginal or cervical microbiota might be useful for detection of common diseases in the upper reproductive tract.

  • Leucobacter Ruminantium Sp. Nov., Isolated from the Bovine Rumen
    TAXONOMIC DESCRIPTION Chun et al., Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2017;67:2634–2639 DOI 10.1099/ijsem.0.002003 Leucobacter ruminantium sp. nov., isolated from the bovine rumen Byung Hee Chun,1 Hyo Jung Lee,1,2 Sang Eun Jeong,1 Peter Schumann3 and Che Ok Jeon1,* Abstract A Gram-stain-positive, lemon yellow-pigmented, non-motile, rod-shaped bacterium, designated strain A2T, was isolated from the rumen of cow. Cells were catalase-positive and weakly oxidase-positive. Growth of strain A2T was observed at 25–45 C (optimum, 37–40 C), at pH 5.5–9.5 (optimum, pH 7.5) and in the presence of 0–3.5 % (w/v) NaCl (optimum, 1 %). Strain A2T contained iso-C16 : 0 and anteiso-C15 : 0 as the major cellular fatty acids. Menaquinone-11 was detected as the sole respiratory quinone. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain A2T formed a distinct phyletic lineage within the genus Leucobacter. Strain A2T was most closely related to ‘Leucobacter margaritiformis’ A23 (97.7 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity) and Leucobacter tardus K 70/01T (97.2 %). The major polar lipids of strain A2T were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol and an unknown glycolipid. Strain A2T contained a B-type cross-linked peptidoglycan based on 2,4-diaminobutyric acid as the diagnostic diamino acid with threonine, glycine, alanine and glutamic acid but lacking 4-aminobutyric acid. The G+C content of the genomic DNA was 67.0 %. From the phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and molecular features, strain A2T was considered to represent a novel species of the genus Leucobacter, for which the name Leucobacter ruminantium sp.

AMB Expr (2017) 7:178 DOI 10.1186/s13568-017-0475-1 ORIGINAL ARTICLE Open Access Legacy efects of continuous chloropicrin‑fumigation for 3‑years on soil microbial community composition and metabolic activity Shuting Zhang1, Xiaojiao Liu1,2, Qipeng Jiang1, Guihua Shen1 and Wei Ding1* Abstract Chloropicrin is widely used to control ginger wilt in China, which have an enormous impact on soil microbial diversity. However, little is known on the possible legacy efects on soil microbial community composition with continuous fumigation over diferent years. In this report, we used high throughput Illumina sequencing and Biolog ECO micro- plates to determine the bacterial community and microbial metabolic activity in ginger harvest felds of non-fumiga- tion (NF), chloropicrin-fumigation for 1 year (F_1) and continuous chloropicrin-fumigation for 3 years (F_3). The results showed that microbial richness and diversity in F_3 were the lowest, while the metabolic activity had no signifcant diference. With the increase of fumigation years, the incidence of bacterial wilt was decreased, the relative abun- dance of Actinobacteria and Saccharibacteria were gradually increased. Using LEfSe analyses, we found that Saccha- ribacteria was the most prominent biomarker in F_3. Eight genera associated with antibiotic production in F_3 were screened out, of which seven belonged to Actinobacteria, and one belonged to Bacteroidetes. The study indicated that with the increase of fumigation years, soil antibacterial capacity may be increased (possible reason for reduced the incidence of bacterial wilt), and Saccharibacteria played a potential role in evaluating the biological efects of continu- ous fumigation.

  • Bacillus Amyloliquefaciens FH-1 Significantly Affects Cucumber
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Bacillus amyloliquefaciens FH‑1 signifcantly afects cucumber seedlings and the rhizosphere bacterial community but not soil Jingjing Wang1,2,3*, Song Xu1,2, Rong Yang1,2, Wei Zhao1,2, Dan Zhu1,2, Xiaoxia Zhang1,2 & Zhiyong Huang1,2* Plant growth‑promoting bacteria (PGPB) inoculants have been applied worldwide. However, the ecological roles of PGPB under diferent soil conditions are still not well understood. The present study aimed to explore the ecological roles of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens FH‑1 (FH) on cucumber seedlings, rhizosphere soil properties, and the bacterial community in pot experiments. The results showed that FH had signifcant efects on cucumber seedlings and the rhizosphere bacterial community but not on soil properties. The FH promoted cucumber seedlings growth, reduced the rhizosphere bacterial diversity, increased Proteobacteria, and decreased Acidobacteria. Linear discriminant analysis (LDA) efect size (LEfSe) revealed that FH enriched two taxa (GKS2_174 and Nannocystaceae) and inhibited 18 taxa (mainly Acidobacteria, Actinobacteria, BRC1, Chlorofexi, Plantctomycetes, and Verrucomicrobia). Co‑occurrence network analysis demonstrated that FH increased bacteria‑bacteria interactions and that Bacillus (genus of FH) had few interactions with the enriched and inhibited taxa. This might indicate that FH does not directly afect the enriched and inhibited taxa. Correlation analysis results displayed that cucumber seedlings’ weight and height/length (except root length) were signifcantly correlated with the 18 inhibited taxa and the enriched taxa Nannocystaceae. It was speculated that FH might promote cucumber seedling growth by indirectly enriching Nannocystaceae and inhibiting some taxa from Acidobacteria, Actinobacteria, BRC1, Chlorofexi, Plantctomycetes, and Verrucomicrobia. Cucumber is an important vegetable in many countries, including China.

  • Functional Variation in Dipteran Gut Bacterial Communities in Relation to Their Diet, Life Cycle Stage and Habitat
    insects Review Functional Variation in Dipteran Gut Bacterial Communities in Relation to Their Diet, Life Cycle Stage and Habitat Rebekka Sontowski 1,2,* and Nicole M. van Dam 1,2 1 German Centre for Integrative Biodiversity Research (iDiv) Halle-Jena-Leipzig, Deutscher Platz 5e, 04103 Leipzig, Germany; [email protected] 2 Institute for Biodiversity, Friedrich-Schiller University, Dornburger Str. 159, 07743 Jena, Germany * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 4 June 2020; Accepted: 11 August 2020; Published: 17 August 2020 Simple Summary: Like in many other organisms, the guts of insects are full with many different bacteria. These bacteria can help their hosts to overcome toxic diets or can boost their resistance to pathogens. We were curious to learn which factors determine the composition of gut bacterial communities (GBCs) in true flies and mosquitoes, which belong to the order Diptera. We searched for research papers reporting on GBCs in these insects. Using these published data, we investigated whether the GBCs are species-specific, or whether they are determined by the diet, life stage or environment of the host insect. We found that the GBCs in larvae and adults of the same insect species can be very different. Insects on similar diets did not necessarily show similar GBCs. This made us conclude that GBCs are mostly life stage-specific. However, we found that the number of data papers we could use is limited; more data are needed to strengthen our conclusion. Lastly, novel DNA technologies can show ‘who is there’ in GBCs. At the same time, we lack knowledge on the exact function of gut bacteria.

She hardly knows which is which. She simply pursues her vision of excellence through whatever she is doing, and leaves others to determine whether she is working or playing. To herself, she always appears to be doing both.” Adapted to Lawrence Pearsall Jacks REMERCIEMENTS Remerciements L'opportunité de faire un doctorat, en France, à l’Unité mixte de recherche MICALIS de Jouy-en-Josas a provoqué de nombreux changements dans ma vie : un autre pays, une autre langue, une autre culture et aussi, un nouveau domaine de recherche.
