Microorganisms in the world oceans are extremely abundant, their abundance is estimated to be 1029. They have a central role in the recycling of organic matter, therefore they influence the air–sea exchange of carbon dioxide, carbon flux through the food web, and carbon sedimentation by sinking of dead material. Bacteroidetes is one of the most abundant bacterial phyla in marine systems and its members are hypothesized to play a pivotal role in the recycling of organic matter. However, most of the evidence about their role is derived from cultivated species. Bacteroidetes is a highly diverse phylum and cultured strains represent the minority of the marine bacteroidetal community, hence, our knowledge about their ecological role is largely incomplete. In this thesis Bacteroidetes in open ocean and in coastal seas were investigated by a suite of molecular methods. The diversity and clade–specific abundance of Bacteroidetes were analyzed in different oceanic provinces in the North Atlantic Ocean. Comparative sequence analysis of 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene li- braries revealed a high diversity and significant spatial variability. Major bac- teroidetal clades were delimited based on 16S rRNA gene sequence identities and further quantified by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). Preliminary FISH analysis indicated that certain Bacteroidetes clades were present in numbers lower than the detection limit of the method. Therefore, the FISH quantification pro- tocol was modified by increasing the sample volume, which allowed us to reliably quantify populations down to absolute numbers of only 500 cells ml−1. All bacteroidetal clades evaluated showed pronounced regional distribution patterns. Interestingly, our analysis revealed that the bacteroidetal community composition largely reflects the satellite space–based demarcation of ocean provinces. Large insert fosmid–based metagenomic libraries constructed from two distinct vii oceanic provinces in the North Atlantic Ocean and an extensive genome compari- son gave first insights into an adaptation of the bacteroidetal community to distinct environmental conditions. Genomic analysis highlighted that marine Bacteroidetes have a marked metabolic potential for the degradation of proteins and bacterial cell wall components, particularly in oligotrophic water masses. Our findings also provide evidence of a strong specialization for the degradation of particular poly- mers. Glycolytic potential was confined to a member of the genus Polaribacter which had several glycoside hydrolases, and a higher number of sulfatases than other members of the same genus. This Polaribacter flavobacterium might repre- sent an ecotype within the genus with a particular adaptation for the degradation of sulfated polysaccharides, known to be major constituents of phytoplankton cell walls. Supporting the hypothesis of Bacteroidetes as particle inhabitants, a spe- cific in situ enrichment of certain bacteroidetal clades in the phycosphere of phy- toplankton cells was proved in the phytoplankton-rich oceanic province. We could establish a link between Bacteroidetes metabolic information, organism identity, and abundance, thus providing hints with respect to the significance of certain metabolic traits. Furthermore, the Bacteroidetes clades delimited in the open ocean were also identified in the coastal systems analyzed in this thesis, giving evidence about the ecological relevance of those bacteroidetal clades in different marine settings. In summary, the combination of genomics and diversity studies allowed us to link main aspects about the Bacteroidetes community, enabling the better understanding of their ecological role in marine systems. Zusammenfassung Ozeane bedecken zwei Drittel der Erdoberfl¨ache, besitzen zentrale Funktionen in den biogeochemischen Stoffkreisl¨aufen und beinhalten eine große Biodiversit¨at. Mikroorganismen sind in den Ozeanen sehr abundant, ihre Zahl wird auf 1029 gesch¨atzt. Sie spielen eine zentrale Rolle im Recycling von organischem Material, dabei beeinflussen sie den Austausch des Kohlendioxids zwischen Luft und Meer, den Kohlenstofffluss in der biologischen Nahrungskette und die Ablagerung von Kohlenstoff durch Absinken von totem Material. Bacteroidetes sind eines der am h¨aufigsten vorkommenden Bakterien–Phyla in marinen Systemen und es wird an- genommen, dass sie Schlusselfunktionen¨ im Recycling von organischem Material besitzen. Allerdings sind die meisten dieser Funktionen von kultivierten Arten ab- geleitet. Bacteroidetes sind phylogenetisch ein sehr diverses Phylum, jedoch gibt es nur wenige kultivierte St¨amme von Bacteroidetes aus marinen Habitaten. Dement- sprechend ist unser Wissen uber¨ ihre ¨okologischen Rolle gr¨oßtenteils unvollst¨andig. In dieser Arbeit wurden Bacteroidetes aus dem offenen Ozean und aus kustennahen¨ Meeren mittels mehrerer molekularbiologischer Methoden untersucht. Es wurde die Diversit¨at und Gruppen–spezifische H¨aufigkeit von Bacteroidetes in verschiedenen ozeanischen Provinzen des Nordatlantischen Ozeans analysiert. Vergleichende Se- quenzanalysen von 16S ribosomalen RNA (rRNA) Genbanken zeigte eine große Vielfalt und eine signifikante r¨aumliche Variabilit¨at. Die vorherrschenden Bacte- roidetes–Gruppen konnten anhand der 16S rRNA Gensequenzierung definiert und durch Fluoreszenz in situ Hybridisierung (FISH) quantifiziert werden. Vorl¨aufige FISH Analysen zeigten, dass bestimmte Entwicklungslinien der Bacteroidetes in ihrer H¨aufigkeit unterhalb der Nachweisgrenze der Methode lagen. Demzufolge wurde das Protokoll zur Quantifizierung von FISH–positiven Zellen modifiziert. Eine Erh¨ohung des filtrierten Probenvolumens erm¨oglichte es mir, auch Popula- tionen von nur 500 Zellen ml−1 zuverl¨assig zu quantifizieren. ix Alle untersuchten Bacteroidetes–Gruppen zeigten ausgepr¨agte regionale Ver- teilungsmuster. Interessanterweise zeigte unsere Analyse, dass die Anordnung der Gemeinschaft der Bacteroidetes gr¨oßtenteils mit der Satelliten–gestutzten¨ Abgren- zung der ozeanischen Provinzen ubereinstimmt.¨ Aus zwei verschiedenen ozeani- schen Provinzen des Nordatlantiks wurden große Fosmid–basierte Metagenomban- ken konstruiert und ein umfassender Genomvergleich erlaubte erste Einblicke in die Anpassung der Bacteroidetes an verschiedene Umweltbedingungen. Die Ge- nomanalysen zeigten, dass marine Bacteroidetes ein deutliches metabolisches Po- tenzial fur¨ den Abbau von Proteinen und Zellwandbestandteilen von Bakterien besitzen, insbesondere in oligotrophen Wassermassen. Meine Ergebnisse erbrach- ten ebenso den Nachweis einer starken Spezialisierung im Abbau von bestimm- ten Polymeren. Das glykolytische Potenzial beschr¨ankte sich auf ein Mitglied der Gattung Polaribacter, das einige Glycosid–Hydrolasen besaß und eine gr¨oßere An- zahl von Sulfatasen aufwies, als andere Mitglieder dieser Gattung. Dieses Flavo- bakterium der Gattung Polaribacter k¨onnte innerhalb der Gattung einen Okotyp¨ darstellen, der sulfathaltige Polysaccharide abbaut. Diese Polysaccharide geh¨oren zu den Hauptbestandteilen der Zellw¨ande des Phytoplankton. Die Hypothese, dass Bacteroidetes Partikel besiedeln, konnte in der spezifischen Anreicherung von bestimmten Gruppen in der Phykosph¨are von Phytoplanktonzellen aus dem Phytoplankton–reichen Wasser des Nordatlantiks in situ best¨atigt werden. In die- ser Arbeit konnte ich zwischen der metabolischen Information, der Identit¨at der Organismen und der H¨aufigkeit der Bacteroidetes eine Verbindung im Hinblick auf die Signifikanz bestimmter metabolischer Merkmale etablieren. Zudem konn- ten die Bacteroidetes–Gruppen des offenen Ozeans auch in kustennahen¨ Systemen identifiziert und ihre ¨okologische Relevanz in verschiedenen marinen Habitaten bestimmt werden. Die Kombination von Genomanalysen und Diversit¨atsstudien erlaubte es mir, wichtige Aspekte der Bacteroidetes-Gemeinschaft zu verknupfen¨ und ihre ¨okologische Rolle in marinen Systemen besser verstehen zu lernen.

MY04, an agarolytic marine bacterium isolated from coastal sediments, has been identified as a new member of the genus Flammeovirga. The MY04 strain is able to utilize multiple CPs as a sole carbon source and -1 -1 grows well on agarose, mannan, or xylan. This strain produces high concentrations of extracellular proteins (490 mg L ± 18.2 mg L liquid culture) that exhibit efficient and extensive degradation activities on various polysaccharides, especially agarose. These pro- -1 -1 teins have an activity of 310 U mg ± 9.6 U mg proteins.

Using laboratory incubations, a quantitative PCR (qPCR) analysis of N2O reductase (nosZ) and ammonia monooxygenase subunit A (amoA) genes, and a metagenome analysis based on the nosZ gene, we investigated the abundance of N2O-reducing microorganisms and ammonia-oxidizing prokaryotes as well as the community compositions of N2O-reducing microorganisms in in situ and cultivated sediments in the non-eelgrass and eelgrass zones of Lake Akkeshi, Japan. Laboratory incubations showed that N2O was reduced by eelgrass sediments and emitted by non-eelgrass sediments. qPCR analyses revealed that the abundance of nosZ gene clade II in both sediments before and after the incubation as higher in the eelgrass zone than in the non-eelgrass zone. In contrast, the abundance of ammonia-oxidizing archaeal amoA genes increased after incubations in the non-eelgrass zone only. Metagenome analyses of nosZ genes revealed that the lineages Dechloromonas-Magnetospirillum-Thiocapsa and Bacteroidetes (Flavobacteriia) within nosZ gene clade II were the main populations in the N2O-reducing microbiome in the in situ sediments of eelgrass zones.

Strain YM22-133T was Gram-positive, aerobic, non-motile and rod shaped. The cell-wall peptidoglycan contained LL-DAP, glycine, alanine and hydroxyglutamate. The predominant menaquinone was MK-9 (H8), with MK-9 (H0), MK-9 (H2), MK-9 (H4) and MK-9 (H6) present as minor menaquinones. The G+C content of the genomic DNA from the strain was 68 mol%. Phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence showed that the strain is near- est to Acidimicrobium ferrooxidans DSM 10331T. However, the similarity is relatively low (87.1%) and the physiological characteristics are also different: Acidimicrobium ferrooxidans is thermo- tolerant and acidophilic. Therefore, strain YM22-133T can be classifi ed as a novel genus and species, Ilumatobacter fl uminis gen. nov., sp. nov. (type strain YM22-133T =DSM 18936T=MBIC 08263T).

  • Phenotypic and Microbial Influences on Dairy Heifer Fertility and Calf Gut Microbial Development
    Phenotypic and microbial influences on dairy heifer fertility and calf gut microbial development Connor E. Owens Dissertation submitted to the faculty of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy In Animal Science, Dairy Rebecca R. Cockrum Kristy M. Daniels Alan Ealy Katharine F. Knowlton September 17, 2020 Blacksburg, VA Keywords: microbiome, fertility, inoculation Phenotypic and microbial influences on dairy heifer fertility and calf gut microbial development Connor E. Owens ABSTRACT (Academic) Pregnancy loss and calf death can cost dairy producers more than $230 million annually. While methods involving nutrition, climate, and health management to mitigate pregnancy loss and calf death have been developed, one potential influence that has not been well examined is the reproductive microbiome. I hypothesized that the microbiome of the reproductive tract would influence heifer fertility and calf gut microbial development. The objectives of this dissertation were: 1) to examine differences in phenotypes related to reproductive physiology in virgin Holstein heifers based on outcome of first insemination, 2) to characterize the uterine microbiome of virgin Holstein heifers before insemination and examine associations between uterine microbial composition and fertility related phenotypes, insemination outcome, and season of breeding, and 3) to characterize the various maternal and calf fecal microbiomes and predicted metagenomes during peri-partum and post-partum periods and examine the influence of the maternal microbiome on calf gut development during the pre-weaning phase. In the first experiment, virgin Holstein heifers (n = 52) were enrolled over 12 periods, on period per month. On -3 d before insemination, heifers were weighed and the uterus was flushed.
