  • Developing a Genetic Manipulation System for the Antarctic Archaeon, Halorubrum Lacusprofundi: Investigating Acetamidase Gene Function
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Developing a genetic manipulation system for the Antarctic archaeon, Halorubrum lacusprofundi: Received: 27 May 2016 Accepted: 16 September 2016 investigating acetamidase gene Published: 06 October 2016 function Y. Liao1, T. J. Williams1, J. C. Walsh2,3, M. Ji1, A. Poljak4, P. M. G. Curmi2, I. G. Duggin3 & R. Cavicchioli1 No systems have been reported for genetic manipulation of cold-adapted Archaea. Halorubrum lacusprofundi is an important member of Deep Lake, Antarctica (~10% of the population), and is amendable to laboratory cultivation. Here we report the development of a shuttle-vector and targeted gene-knockout system for this species. To investigate the function of acetamidase/formamidase genes, a class of genes not experimentally studied in Archaea, the acetamidase gene, amd3, was disrupted. The wild-type grew on acetamide as a sole source of carbon and nitrogen, but the mutant did not. Acetamidase/formamidase genes were found to form three distinct clades within a broad distribution of Archaea and Bacteria. Genes were present within lineages characterized by aerobic growth in low nutrient environments (e.g. haloarchaea, Starkeya) but absent from lineages containing anaerobes or facultative anaerobes (e.g. methanogens, Epsilonproteobacteria) or parasites of animals and plants (e.g. Chlamydiae). While acetamide is not a well characterized natural substrate, the build-up of plastic pollutants in the environment provides a potential source of introduced acetamide. In view of the extent and pattern of distribution of acetamidase/formamidase sequences within Archaea and Bacteria, we speculate that acetamide from plastics may promote the selection of amd/fmd genes in an increasing number of environmental microorganisms.

Accepted 29 December, 2011 To study the biodiversity of halophilic bacteria in a protected wetland located in Loukkos (Northwest, Morocco), a total of 124 strains were recovered from sediment samples from a marsh and salterns. 120 isolates (98%) were found to be moderately halophilic bacteria; growing in salt ranges of 0.5 to 20%. Of 124 isolates, 102 were Gram-positive while 22 were Gram negative. All isolates were identified based on 16S rRNA gene phylogenetic analysis and characterized phenotypically and by screening for extracellular hydrolytic enzymes. The Gram-positive isolates were dominated by the genus Bacillus (89%) and the others were assigned to Jeotgalibacillus, Planococcus, Staphylococcus and Thalassobacillus.

  • Bacillus Megaterium Adapts to Acid Stress Condition Through a Network
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Bacillus megaterium adapts to acid stress condition through a network of genes: Insight from a genome- Received: 5 February 2018 Accepted: 5 October 2018 wide transcriptome analysis Published: xx xx xxxx Gunajit Goswami1,2, Debashis Panda3, Ramkrishna Samanta2, Robin Chandra Boro1, Mahendra Kumar Modi1,3, Kamal Malla Bujarbaruah1 & Madhumita Barooah1 RNA-seq analysis of B. megaterium exposed to pH 7.0 and pH 4.5 showed diferential expression of 207 genes related to several processes. Among the 207 genes, 11 genes displayed increased transcription exclusively in pH 4.5. Exposure to pH 4.5 induced the expression of genes related to maintenance of cell integrity, pH homeostasis, alternative energy generation and modifcation of metabolic processes. Metabolic processes like pentose phosphate pathway, fatty acid biosynthesis, cysteine and methionine metabolism and synthesis of arginine and proline were remodeled during acid stress. Genes associated with oxidative stress and osmotic stress were up-regulated at pH 4.5 indicating a link between acid stress and other stresses. Acid stress also induced expression of genes that encoded general stress- responsive proteins as well as several hypothetical proteins. Our study indicates that a network of genes aid B. megaterium G18 to adapt and survive in acid stress condition. Bacteria have innate ability to survive and grow in several stress conditions including extreme ecological niches. Acidic stress condition specifcally, soil acidic condition has signifcant relevance and ramifcation in agriculture, food, and human health. Te importance of acid stress has propelled several studies in unraveling the molecular mechanisms of acid tolerance in bacteria especially the pathogenic enteric bacteria and those involved with food and beverages.

This organism was related to the 3 Department of Food and phylogenetic clade comprising members of Bacillus rRNA group 2 and formed a Life Science, cluster with Bacillus marinus with a bootstrap fidelity value of 936%. The Sungkyunkwan University, Chunchun-dong 300, peptidoglycan type was A1α linked directly through L-Lys. Based on cell Jangan-gu, Suwon, Korea morphology, peptidoglycan type and phylogeny, strain YKJ-13T, together with 4 DSMZ – Deutsche B. marinus, is considered to be a member of Bacillus rRNA group 2. Strain YKJ- Sammlung von 13T was also characterized by having MK-7 and MK-8 as the predominant Mikroorganismen und menaquinones and iso-C15:0 as the major fatty acid.

The purpose of this work was to study the phytobiome of the tomato seeds of two hybrids in order to understand first of all whether tomato cultivars host similar groups of organisms, as well as their effect on the community structure, particularly of those microbes with the potential to promote growth and/or control plant pathogens.
