However, little is known regarding the effect of this integration on the bamboo leaf-associated microbiome, which can be very important for disease control and nutrient turnover. In the present study, we compared the leaf-associated bacterial and fungal communities of moso bamboo (Phyllostachys edulis) in a BCF system and an adjacent moso bamboo forest (MBF). The results showed that Cyanobacteria and Ascomycota were the predominant microbial phyla associated with bamboo leaves. Chicken farming under the bamboo forest significantly increased the bacterial and fungal alpha diversity (observed operational taxonomic units (OTUs) and Simpson’s index) associated with bamboo leaves. Principal components analysis (PCoA) further confirmed the shifts in the bacterial and fungal communities caused by chicken farming.

  • In Silico Evolutionary Analysis of Helicobacter Pylori Outer Membrane Phospholipase a (OMPLA) Hilde S Vollan1*, Tone Tannæs1, Yoshio Yamaoka2 and Geir Bukholm3,4
    Vollan et al. BMC Microbiology 2012, 12:206 http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2180/12/206 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access In silico evolutionary analysis of Helicobacter pylori outer membrane phospholipase A (OMPLA) Hilde S Vollan1*, Tone Tannæs1, Yoshio Yamaoka2 and Geir Bukholm3,4 Abstract Background: In the past decade, researchers have proposed that the pldA gene for outer membrane phospholipase A (OMPLA) is important for bacterial colonization of the human gastric ventricle. Several conserved Helicobacter pylori genes have distinct genotypes in different parts of the world, biogeographic patterns that can be analyzed through phylogenetic trees. The current study will shed light on the importance of the pldA gene in H. pylori. In silico sequence analysis will be used to investigate whether the bacteria are in the process of preserving, optimizing, or rejecting the pldA gene. The pldA gene will be phylogenetically compared to other housekeeping (HK) genes, and a possible origin via horizontal gene transfer (HGT) will be evaluated through both intra- and inter- species evolutionary analyses. Results: In this study, pldA gene sequences were phylogenetically analyzed and compared with a large reference set of concatenated HK gene sequences. A total of 246 pldA nucleotide sequences were used; 207 were from Norwegian isolates, 20 were from Korean isolates, and 19 were from the NCBI database. Best-fit evolutionary models were determined with MEGA5 ModelTest for the pldA (K80 + I + G) and HK (GTR + I + G) sequences, and maximum likelihood trees were constructed. Both HK and pldA genes showed biogeographic clustering. Horizontal gene transfer was inferred based on significantly different GC contents, the codon adaptation index, and a phylogenetic conflict between a tree of OMPLA protein sequences representing 171 species and a tree of the AtpA HK protein for 169 species.

Proteobacteria Bacteroidetes Cyanobacteria E-mail: [email protected] although Actinobacteria and Firmicutes were relatively abundant also. High numbers of chloroplasts were also observed. In the deepest snow layer, large percentages of Firmicutes and Fusobacteria were seen. In freshwater, Bacter- oidetes, Actinobacteria and Verrucomicrobia were the most abundant phyla while relatively few Proteobacteria and Cyanobacteria were present. Possibly, light intensity controlled the distribution of the Cyanobacteria and algae in the snow while carbon and nitrogen fixed by these autotrophs in turn fed the heterotrophic bacteria. In the lake, a probable lower light input relative to snow resulted in low numbers of Cyanobacteria and chloroplasts and, hence, limited input of organic carbon and nitrogen to the heterotrophic bacteria.

  • Supplemental Material S1.Pdf
    Phylogeny of Selenophosphate synthetases (SPS) Supplementary Material S1 ! SelD in prokaryotes! ! ! SelD gene finding in sequenced prokaryotes! We downloaded a total of 8263 prokaryotic genomes from NCBI (see Supplementary Material S7). We scanned them with the program selenoprofiles (Mariotti 2010, http:// big.crg.cat/services/selenoprofiles) using two SPS-family profiles, one prokaryotic (seld) and one mixed eukaryotic-prokaryotic (SPS). Selenoprofiles removes overlapping predictions from different profiles, keeping only the prediction from the profile that seems closer to the candidate sequence. As expected, the great majority of output predictions in prokaryotic genomes were from the seld profile. We will refer to the prokaryotic SPS/SelD !genes as SelD, following the most common nomenclature in literature.! To be able to inspect results by hand, and also to focus on good-quality genomes, we considered a reduced set of species. We took the prok_reference_genomes.txt list from ftp://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/genomes/GENOME_REPORTS/, which NCBI claims to be a "small curated subset of really good and scientifically important prokaryotic genomes". We named this the prokaryotic reference set (223 species - see Supplementary Material S8). We manually curated most of the analysis in this set, while we kept automatized the !analysis on the full set.! We detected SelD proteins in 58 genomes (26.0%) in the prokaryotic reference set (figure 1 in main paper), which become 2805 (33.9%) when considering the prokaryotic full set (figure SM1.1). The difference in proportion between the two sets is due largely to the presence of genomes of very close strains in the full set, which we consider redundant.

    International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology (2015), 65, 331–335 DOI 10.1099/ijs.0.066324-0 Deinococcus antarcticus sp. nov., isolated from soil Ning Dong,1,2 Hui-Rong Li,1 Meng Yuan,1,2 Xiao-Hua Zhang2 and Yong Yu1 Correspondence 1SOA Key Laboratory for Polar Science, Polar Research Institute of China, Shanghai 200136, Yong Yu PR China [email protected] 2College of Marine Life Sciences, Ocean University of China, Qingdao 266003, PR China A pink-pigmented, non-motile, coccoid bacterial strain, designated G3-6-20T, was isolated from a soil sample collected in the Grove Mountains, East Antarctica. This strain was resistant to UV irradiation (810 J m”2) and slightly more sensitive to desiccation as compared with Deinococcus radiodurans. Phylogenetic analyses based on the 16S rRNA gene sequence of the isolate indicated that the organism belongs to the genus Deinococcus. Highest sequence similarities were with Deinococcus ficus CC-FR2-10T (93.5 %), Deinococcus xinjiangensis X-82T (92.8 %), Deinococcus indicus Wt/1aT (92.5 %), Deinococcus daejeonensis MJ27T (92.3 %), Deinococcus wulumuqiensis R-12T (92.3 %), Deinococcus aquaticus PB314T (92.2 %) and T Deinococcus radiodurans DSM 20539 (92.2 %). Major fatty acids were C18 : 1v7c, summed feature 3 (C16 : 1v7c and/or C16 : 1v6c), anteiso-C15 : 0 and C16 : 0. The G+C content of the genomic DNA of strain G3-6-20T was 63.1 mol%. Menaquinone 8 (MK-8) was the predominant respiratory quinone. Based on its phylogenetic position, and chemotaxonomic and phenotypic characteristics, strain G3-6-20T represents a novel species of the genus Deinococcus, for which the name Deinococcus antarcticus sp.

  • Novel Insights Into the Thaumarchaeota in the Deepest Oceans: Their Metabolism and Potential Adaptation Mechanisms
    Zhong et al. Microbiome (2020) 8:78 https://doi.org/10.1186/s40168-020-00849-2 RESEARCH Open Access Novel insights into the Thaumarchaeota in the deepest oceans: their metabolism and potential adaptation mechanisms Haohui Zhong1,2, Laura Lehtovirta-Morley3, Jiwen Liu1,2, Yanfen Zheng1, Heyu Lin1, Delei Song1, Jonathan D. Todd3, Jiwei Tian4 and Xiao-Hua Zhang1,2,5* Abstract Background: Marine Group I (MGI) Thaumarchaeota, which play key roles in the global biogeochemical cycling of nitrogen and carbon (ammonia oxidizers), thrive in the aphotic deep sea with massive populations. Recent studies have revealed that MGI Thaumarchaeota were present in the deepest part of oceans—the hadal zone (depth > 6000 m, consisting almost entirely of trenches), with the predominant phylotype being distinct from that in the “shallower” deep sea. However, little is known about the metabolism and distribution of these ammonia oxidizers in the hadal water. Results: In this study, metagenomic data were obtained from 0–10,500 m deep seawater samples from the Mariana Trench. The distribution patterns of Thaumarchaeota derived from metagenomics and 16S rRNA gene sequencing were in line with that reported in previous studies: abundance of Thaumarchaeota peaked in bathypelagic zone (depth 1000–4000 m) and the predominant clade shifted in the hadal zone. Several metagenome-assembled thaumarchaeotal genomes were recovered, including a near-complete one representing the dominant hadal phylotype of MGI. Using comparative genomics, we predict that unexpected genes involved in bioenergetics, including two distinct ATP synthase genes (predicted to be coupled with H+ and Na+ respectively), and genes horizontally transferred from other extremophiles, such as those encoding putative di-myo-inositol-phosphate (DIP) synthases, might significantly contribute to the success of this hadal clade under the extreme condition.
