S113 Xing Huang, Jian He, Jiquan Sun, Jijie Pan, Xiaofei Sun, Shunpeng Lià Key Laboratory of Microbiological Engineering of Agricultural Environment, Ministry of Agriculture, College of Life Sciences, Nanjing Agricultural University, Nanjing 210095, PR China Received 14 September 2006; received in revised form 29 January 2007; accepted 12 February 2007 Available online 12 April 2007 Abstract The bacterium S113, capable of degrading metsulfuron-methyl, was isolated from metsulfuron-methyl-treated soil. The isolate was identified as Methylopila sp. according to its phenotypic features and 16S rDNA phylogenetic analysis. This strain could utilize metsulfuron-methyl as the sole carbon or nitrogen source. More than 97% of the 50 mg lÀ1 initially added metsulfuron-methyl was depleted after 72 h when a culture was inoculated with 104 cells lÀ1 of strain S113. This strain could also degrade bensulfuron-methyl, thifensulfuron-methyl and ethametsulfuron-methyl. Cell-free extract of S113 was able to metabolize metsulfuron-methyl and other sulfonylurea herbicides. The metsulfuron-methyl degrading enzyme(s) was(ere) constitutively expressed and was(ere) not induced by metsulfuron-methyl. Inoculation of strain S113 into soil was found to promote the removal of metsulfuron-methyl in soil. r 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

  • Supplementary Material 16S Rrna Clone Library
    Kip et al. Biogeosciences (bg-2011-334) Supplementary Material 16S rRNA clone library To investigate the total bacterial community a clone library based on the 16S rRNA gene was performed of the pool Sphagnum mosses from Andorra peat, next to S. magellanicum some S. falcatulum was present in this pool and both these species were analysed. Both 16S clone libraries showed the presence of Alphaproteobacteria (17%), Verrucomicrobia (13%) and Gammaproteobacteria (2%) and since the distribution of bacterial genera among the two species was comparable an average was made. In total a 180 clones were sequenced and analyzed for the phylogenetic trees see Fig. A1 and A2 The 16S clone libraries showed a very diverse set of bacteria to be present inside or on Sphagnum mosses. Compared to other studies the microbial community in Sphagnum peat soils (Dedysh et al., 2006; Kulichevskaya et al., 2007a; Opelt and Berg, 2004) is comparable to the microbial community found here, inside and attached on the Sphagnum mosses of the Patagonian peatlands. Most of the clones showed sequence similarity to isolates or environmental samples originating from peat ecosystems, of which most of them originate from Siberian acidic peat bogs. This indicated that similar bacterial communities can be found in peatlands in the Northern and Southern hemisphere implying there is no big geographical difference in microbial diversity in peat bogs. Four out of five classes of Proteobacteria were present in the 16S rRNA clone library; Alfa-, Beta-, Gamma and Deltaproteobacteria. 42 % of the clones belonging to the Alphaproteobacteria showed a 96-97% to Acidophaera rubrifaciens, a member of the Rhodospirullales an acidophilic bacteriochlorophyll-producing bacterium isolated from acidic hotsprings and mine drainage (Hiraishi et al., 2000).

  • Evolution of Methanotrophy in the Beijerinckiaceae&Mdash
    The ISME Journal (2014) 8, 369–382 & 2014 International Society for Microbial Ecology All rights reserved 1751-7362/14 www.nature.com/ismej ORIGINAL ARTICLE The (d)evolution of methanotrophy in the Beijerinckiaceae—a comparative genomics analysis Ivica Tamas1, Angela V Smirnova1, Zhiguo He1,2 and Peter F Dunfield1 1Department of Biological Sciences, University of Calgary, Calgary, Alberta, Canada and 2Department of Bioengineering, School of Minerals Processing and Bioengineering, Central South University, Changsha, Hunan, China The alphaproteobacterial family Beijerinckiaceae contains generalists that grow on a wide range of substrates, and specialists that grow only on methane and methanol. We investigated the evolution of this family by comparing the genomes of the generalist organotroph Beijerinckia indica, the facultative methanotroph Methylocella silvestris and the obligate methanotroph Methylocapsa acidiphila. Highly resolved phylogenetic construction based on universally conserved genes demonstrated that the Beijerinckiaceae forms a monophyletic cluster with the Methylocystaceae, the only other family of alphaproteobacterial methanotrophs. Phylogenetic analyses also demonstrated a vertical inheritance pattern of methanotrophy and methylotrophy genes within these families. Conversely, many lateral gene transfer (LGT) events were detected for genes encoding carbohydrate transport and metabolism, energy production and conversion, and transcriptional regulation in the genome of B. indica, suggesting that it has recently acquired these genes. A key difference between the generalist B. indica and its specialist methanotrophic relatives was an abundance of transporter elements, particularly periplasmic-binding proteins and major facilitator transporters. The most parsimonious scenario for the evolution of methanotrophy in the Alphaproteobacteria is that it occurred only once, when a methylotroph acquired methane monooxygenases (MMOs) via LGT.

Konstantynów 1I, 20-708 Lublin, Poland [email protected] ABSTRACT Transfer microbiological studies under the surface of the Earth to exploration of deep intraterrestrial microbial life is important to allows exceeding the current framework of science. Microbial life is determined by physical, geochemical, and biological factors such as the availability of liquid water, energy, nutrients, and trace elements. Additionally, conditions including ambient temperature, pH, salinity, and pressure interact with biological systems to define the space for life. Recent studies have shown the presence and activity of cells in deep marine sediments and in the continental deep biosphere. Characterizing the bacterial community composition and recognition of diversity of microorganisms may play an important role in biogeochemical carbon cycling and potential biotechnological application of these microorganisms. Indexing terms/Keywords salinity environment, microorganisms, halophile, methanotrophs DEEP SALINE BIOSPHERE Under the earth, there are many factors limiting microbial life such as low oxygen levels, water and nutrient availability. With an increase in depth, photosynthetically derived organic carbon becomes limited and hardly accessible [49]. Extreme conditions are also associated with pressure, temperature, pH, salinity. Despite this, the deep subsurface microbial communities are very diverse, spanning all domains of life [3, 9, 10, 41].

B.CCH.1013 Final Report 1 Abstract In ruminant cattle, the anaerobic fermentation of ingested plant biomass results in the production of methane (CH4). This CH4 is subsequently eructated to the environment, where it acts as a potent greenhouse gas and is one of the leading sources of anthropogenic CH4 in Australia. Methane oxidising microorganisms are an important environmental sink for CH4; however the possibility that methanotrophs are native to the rumen has received little attention. This project aimed to characterise methanotrophs from a range of environments, and to subsequently determine the metabolic activity of these microorganisms under in vitro rumen-like conditions. This study is the first to characterise rumen methanotrophs using molecular methodology.

  • Biological Conversion Process of Methane Into Methanol Using Mixed Culture Methanotrophic Bacteria Enriched from Activated Sludge System
    BIOLOGICAL CONVERSION PROCESS OF METHANE INTO METHANOL USING MIXED CULTURE METHANOTROPHIC BACTERIA ENRICHED FROM ACTIVATED SLUDGE SYSTEM Ahmed Mohamed AlSayed Mahmoud A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF APPLIED SCIENCE GRADUATE PROGRAM IN CIVIL ENGINEERING YORK UNIVERSITY, TORONTO, ONTARIO AUGUST 2017 © Ahmed AlSayed, 2017 Abstract Wastewater treatment plants contribute to the global warming phenomena not only by GHG emissions, but also, by consuming enormous amount of fossil fuel based energy. Therefore, methane bio-hydroxylation has attracted the attention as methanol is an efficient substitute for methane (GHG) due to its transportability and higher energy yield. This work is destined to investigate and optimize the factors affecting the microbial activity within methane bio-hydroxylation system using type I methanotrophs enriched from activated sludge system. The optimization resulted in a notable enhancement of the growth kinetics. The -1 attained maximum specific growth rate (µmax) (0.358 hr ) and maximum specific methane -1 biodegradation rate (qmax) (0.605 g-CH4,Total/g-DCW/hr ) were the highest reported in mixed cultures. Furthermore, the maximum methanol productivity achieved is comparable with pure cultures and equal to 2115±81 mg/L/day. Whereas, methanol concentration of 485±21 mg/L was attained which is two times higher than the reported using mixed culture. ii Dedication " Bountiful is your life, full and complete.

Page 1/32 Abstract Background Coastal zones are transitional areas between land and sea where large amounts of organic and inorganic carbon compounds are recycled by microbes. Especially shallow zones near land have been shown to be the main source for oceanic methane (CH4) emissions. Water depth has been predicted as the best explanatory variable, which is related to CH4 ebullition, but exactly how sediment methanotrophic bacteria mediates these emissions along water depth is unknown. Here, we investigated the activity of methanotrophs in the sediment of shallow coastal zones with high CH4 emissions within a depth gradient from 10–45 m. Field sampling consisted of collecting sediment slices from eight stations along a coastal gradient (0–4 km from land) in the coastal Baltic Sea. We combined real-time measurements of surface water CH4 concentrations, acoustic detection of CH4 seeps in the bottom water, and sediment DNA plus RNA sequencing.
