Natural methane gas seepage is the result of 42 subsurface generation or accumulation of methane and the methane concentration in the gas varies 43 according to its source (4). At geothermal and hydrothermal sites, methane is generated by 44 thermogenic processes and seeps up to the surface through cracks and pores, whereas, in deep sea 45 sediments the accumulation of methane can result in cold seeps or methane hydrates where no direct 46 input of heat is found. This is often linked to biogenic methane which is a product of microbial 47 processes in various anaerobic environments, like bog lakes and sea sediments (5, 6). In many cases 48 the methane generation is of mixed origin, that is both thermogenic and biogenic. For example, 49 methane that is formed during early coalification processes (coal bed methane) is not only of 50 thermogenic origin but also produced by microbes utilizing the lignite (7). In these environments one 51 would expect to find microbes that participate in methanogenesis and are capable of methane 52 oxidation, respectively. 53 Where natural methane gas seeps up to the surface, pockmarks can develop, that are a habitat for 54 diverse microorganisms (8) and can be regarded as hotspots for anaerobic oxidation of methane 55 (AOM). AOM is often dependent on archaea and sulphate-reducing bacteria (47), but can in some 56 cases be driven by bacteria through intra-aerobic-denitrification (9), or possibly reductive 57 dehalogenation, as suggested in a recent study on an ice-covered Antarctic lake (10). Microbial 58 communities of hydrocarbon gas seepage environments have been studied around the world, 59 including the Gulf of Mexico (11), Pacific Ocean Margin (12), Cascadia Margin (13) and Barents Sea 60 (14), mainly because of their sulfate-reducing capabilities and AOM. 61 In Öxarfjörður bay, NE Iceland, natural gas seepage pockmarks are found both on the seafloor and 62 on shore. Öxarfjörður is located along the lithospheric boundaries of the North-American and the 63 Eurasian plates and forms a graben bounded by the Tjörnes Fracture Zone in the west and the eastern 64 rim of the North Iceland Volcanic Zone in the east. Geothermal activity in Öxarfjörður bay is 3 bioRxiv preprint doi: https://doi.org/10.1101/348011; this version posted September 5, 2018.

The area is prevailed by 66 the river delta of Jökulsá-á-Fjöllum, causing the Öxarfjörður bay to be even more dynamic in nature. 67 Geological settings in the Öxarfjörður area were studied extensively in the 1990s (15–18), leading to 68 the discovery that the methane-rich seepage gas likely originates from thermal alteration of lignite and 69 coal seams from beneath the 1 km thick sediment (18). Taken together, these studies strongly suggest 70 the presence of sedimentary lignite in the Öxarfjörður graben (19). 71 Very little geomicrobiological work has thus far been conducted in Iceland, with most 72 environmental microbiology work being bioprospective in nature, often paying little attention to 73 community structures or biogeochemical activity. Natural gas seeps such as those found in 74 Öxarfjörður, have thus far not been investigated from a microbiological standpoint despite their 75 unique character which makes them ideal for geomicrobiological studies as both sparsely vegetated 76 geothermal gas seepage pockmarks and colder, more vegetated seeps are found in close proximity to 77 one another. Each methane seep system is thought to be unique in terms of the composition of 78 geological and biological features (8), so taking a snapshot of the microbial community at a methane 79 gas seepage site can provide valuable insight into the dynamics of the system and initiate biological 80 discoveries. 81 In this article, we report the first microbial analysis of the natural gas seepage pockmarks in 82 Öxarfjörður. Hypothesizing that the microbial community in this environment ought to be dominated 83 by methane oxidizing microbes, we performed microbial community analysis on 16S rRNA gene 84 amplicon libraries from two sites differing in visible vegetation and complex hydrocarbon content. 85 Further hypothesizing that these environments would be a source of hydrocarbon-degrading bacteria, 86 we isolated a collection of microbes on various media and tested them for degradation of naphthalene. 87 88 Materials and methods 89 Sampling and in-field measurements 90 Samples were collected at Skógalón (site SX, 66°09'N, 16°37'W) on August 21st, 2014, and on 91 September 11th, 2015, and at Skógakíll (site AEX, 66°10'N, 16°34'W) on August 13th, 2015 (Fig. 1). 4 bioRxiv preprint doi: https://doi.org/10.1101/348011; this version posted September 5, 2018.

Temperature, pH and conductivity were measured in-situ 95 during sampling with hand-held meters. Sediment samples were collected from shallow cores 96 obtained using a corer constructed from a 3-cm diameter galvanized-iron pipe that was hammered into 97 the ground using a sledgehammer, and transferred aseptically to sterile, airtight IsoJars (IsoTech 98 laboratories, Champaign, Illinois), according to manufacturer´s protocol. Surface soil samples were 99 collected aseptically directly into sterile IsoJars. Water samples were collected aseptically into sterile 100 glass bottles. Gas samples were collected into evacuated double-port glass bottles by means of an 101 inverted nylon funnel connected to silicone rubber tubing. All samples for microbial analysis were 102 immediately put on dry ice where they were kept during transport to laboratory facilities at University 103 of Akureyri where they were either processed immediately or stored in a freezer at -18°C until 104 processing.

This organism grew optimally at 9 to 12°C and did not grow at higher than 18°C. Chemotaxonomic characteristics of this organism were the presence of 2,4-diaminobutyricacid in the cell wall and menaquinone-10as the predominant respiratory quinone. The cellular fatty acid profile, which contained a significant amount of an anteiso-branched monounsaturated acid, 12-methyl tetradecenoic acid, was a distinctive characteristic of this organism and was reasonable for adaptation to low temperature. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16s ribosomal DNA sequences revealed that this organism was positioned at a separate branch in the family Microbacteriaceae, actinomycetes with group B peptidoglycan. We propose the name Cryobacterium psychrophilum gen. nov., sp. nov. for this organism. The type strain is JCM 1463 (=IAM 12024 =ATCC 43563 =IF0 15735 =NCIMB 2068).

ABSTRACT Computational approaches are often used to predict regulatory RNAs in bacteria, but their success is limited to RNAs that are highly conserved across phyla, in sequence and structure. The ANTAR regulatory system consists of a family of RNAs (the ANTAR-target RNAs) that selectively recruit ANTAR proteins. This protein-RNA complex together regulates genes at the level of translation or transcriptional elongation.

  • Abstract Tracing Hydrocarbon
    ABSTRACT TRACING HYDROCARBON CONTAMINATION THROUGH HYPERALKALINE ENVIRONMENTS IN THE CALUMET REGION OF SOUTHEASTERN CHICAGO Kathryn Quesnell, MS Department of Geology and Environmental Geosciences Northern Illinois University, 2016 Melissa Lenczewski, Director The Calumet region of Southeastern Chicago was once known for industrialization, which left pollution as its legacy. Disposal of slag and other industrial wastes occurred in nearby wetlands in attempt to create areas suitable for future development. The waste creates an unpredictable, heterogeneous geology and a unique hyperalkaline environment. Upgradient to the field site is a former coking facility, where coke, creosote, and coal weather openly on the ground. Hydrocarbons weather into characteristic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), which can be used to create a fingerprint and correlate them to their original parent compound. This investigation identified PAHs present in the nearby surface and groundwaters through use of gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS), as well as investigated the relationship between the alkaline environment and the organic contamination. PAH ratio analysis suggests that the organic contamination is not mobile in the groundwater, and instead originated from the air. 16S rDNA profiling suggests that some microbial communities are influenced more by pH, and some are influenced more by the hydrocarbon pollution. BIOLOG Ecoplates revealed that most communities have the ability to metabolize ring structures similar to the shape of PAHs. Analysis with bioinformatics using PICRUSt demonstrates that each community has microbes thought to be capable of hydrocarbon utilization. The field site, as well as nearby areas, are targets for habitat remediation and recreational development. In order for these remediation efforts to be successful, it is vital to understand the geochemistry, weathering, microbiology, and distribution of known contaminants.

  • A002 Methylobacterium Carri Sp. Nov., Isolated from Automotive Air
    A002 Methylobacterium carri sp. nov., Isolated from Automotive Air Conditioning System Jigwan Son and Jong-Ok Ka* Department of Agricultural Biotechnology and Research Institute of Agriculture and Life Sciences, Seoul National University A bacterial strain, designated DB0501T, with Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, motile, and rod-shaped cell, was isolated from an automotive air conditioning system collected in the Republic of Korea. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis indicated that the strain DB0501T grouped in the genus Methylobacterium and closely related to Methylobacterium platani PMB02T (98.8%), Methylobacterium currus PR1016AT (97.7%), Methylobacterium variabile DSM 16961T (97.7%), Methylobacterium aquaticum DSM 16371T (97.6%), Methylobacterium tarhaniae N4211T (97.4%) and Methylobacterium frigidaeris IER25-16T (97.2%). Genomic relatedness between strain DB0501T and its closest relatives was evaluated using average nucleotide identity, digital DNA-DNA hybridization and average amino acid identity with values of 86.4–90.8%, 39.3 ± 2.6–48.2 ± 5.0% and 87.8–89.5% respectively. The strain grew 15-30°C , pH 5.5-8.0 and in 0–1.0% w/v NaCl. Summed feature 3 (C16:1 7c and/or C16:1 6c) and summed feature 8 (C18:1 ω7c T and/or C18:1 ω6c) were the predominant cellular fatty acids in strain DB0501 . Q-10 was the major ubiquinone. The major polar lipids were phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, and phosphatidylcholine. The DNA G+C content of strain DB0501T was 70.8 mol%. Based on phenotypic, genotypic and chemotaxonomic data, strain DB0501T represents a novel species of the genus Methylobacterium, for which the name Methylobacterium carri sp.
