The Tepidamorphus lineage clusters with a clade comprising 35 36 66 the genera Microbaculum, Lutibaculum, and Butyratibacter, sharing 94-96% similarity 37 38 67 with species of these genera (Kumar et al., 2012; Su et al., 2017; Wang et al., 2017). 39 40 68 These similarity values as well as other characteristics support the genus status of the 41 42 69 Tepidamorphus lineage. Genera peripheral to this clade include Afifella, Bauldia, 43 44 45 70 Dichotomicrobium (gbm00817), Methyloceanibacter, Methyloligella, and Rhodobium 46 47 71 (gbm00849) (Albuquerque et al., 2014; Doronina et al., 2013; Hirsch and Hoffmann 48 49 72 1989; Srinivas et al., 2007; Takeuchi et al., 2014; Urdiain et al., 2008; Yee et al., 2010). 50 51 73 The genus Rhodobium is the type genus of the family Rhodobiaceae (fbm00172) 52 53 74 (Garrity et al., 2005). Although the cluster of the genera listed above is not supported by 54 55 75 bootstrap analyses, for the purpose of this outline we include the genus Tepidamorphus 56 57 58 59 60 John Wiley & Sons Bergey?s Manual of Systematics of Archaea and Bacteria Page 6 of 26 1 2 3 76 within the family Rhodobiaceae and await further analysis of the phylogeny of the 4 5 77 Alphaproteobacteria (cbm00041) based on whole genome sequence comparisons. 6 7 78 8 9 79 Cell morphology and colony characteristics 10 11 80 Tepidamorphus gemmatus forms translucent nonpigmented colonies and the cells are 12 13 14 81 irregular rod-shaped, 0.5–2.0 µm in width by 1.0–1.5 µm in length with ovoid- and long 15 16 82 rod-shaped budding structures (Figure 2a, 2b) and is motile by means of one or more 17 18 83 flagella (Albuquerque et al., 2010a). Negative staining electron-microscopy of 19 For Peer Review 20 84 exponential phase cultures grown in liquid medium shows that the cells have irregular 21 22 85 morphologies (Figure 2c), with frequent branching and aggregation (Figure 2d). Some 23 24 86 branches originate from a lateral position of the cells while others are apical. However, 25 26 27 87 many of these branches resemble elongated buds (Figure 2e, 2f, 2g, 2h). A dark electron 28 29 88 dense band is frequently seen at the junction of separation of the cells. Electron dense 30 31 89 circular structures appear to correspond to polyphosphate granules. Lipid like 32 33 90 inclusions, corresponding to polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA), are very common and these 34 35 91 frequently surround a small electron-dense granule. Carotenoid pigments are not 36 37 92 detected. 38 39 40 93 41 42 94 Nutrition and growth conditions 43 44 95 This slightly thermophilic species has an optimum growth temperature of about 45– 45 46 96 50ºC and the temperature range for growth is between 30ºC and 50ºC.

Aside from these quantitative limitations, our understanding of phenotypic Taxonomy and functional diversity of prokaryotes is also highly biased as not a single species has been described Nomenclature for 85 of the 118 phyla that are currently recognized. Due to recent advances in sequencing technology Candidatus and capacity, metagenomic datasets accumulate at an increasing speed and new bacterial and archaeal International Code of Nomenclature of Prokaryotes genome sequences become available at a faster rate than newly described species. The growing gap between the diversity of Bacteria and Archaea held in pure culture and that detected by molecular methods has led to the proposal to establish a formal nomenclature for not-yet-cultured taxa primarily based on sequence information.

    Pinpointing the Origin of Mitochondria Zhang Wang Hanchuan, Hubei

    Pinpointing the origin of mitochondria Zhang Wang Hanchuan, Hubei, China B.S., Wuhan University, 2009 A Dissertation presented to the Graduate Faculty of the University of Virginia in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Biology University of Virginia August, 2014 ii Abstract The explosive growth of genomic data presents both opportunities and challenges for the study of evolutionary biology, ecology and diversity. Genome-scale phylogenetic analysis (known as phylogenomics) has demonstrated its power in resolving the evolutionary tree of life and deciphering various fascinating questions regarding the origin and evolution of earth’s contemporary organisms. One of the most fundamental events in the earth’s history of life regards the origin of mitochondria. Overwhelming evidence supports the endosymbiotic theory that mitochondria originated once from a free-living α-proteobacterium that was engulfed by its host probably 2 billion years ago. However, its exact position in the tree of life remains highly debated. In particular, systematic errors including sparse taxonomic sampling, high evolutionary rate and sequence composition bias have long plagued the mitochondrial phylogenetics. This dissertation employs an integrated phylogenomic approach toward pinpointing the origin of mitochondria. By strategically sequencing 18 phylogenetically novel α-proteobacterial genomes, using a set of “well-behaved” phylogenetic markers with lower evolutionary rates and less composition bias, and applying more realistic phylogenetic models that better account for the systematic errors, the presented phylogenomic study for the first time placed the mitochondria unequivocally within the Rickettsiales order of α- proteobacteria, as a sister clade to the Rickettsiaceae and Anaplasmataceae families, all subtended by the Holosporaceae family.

    Is It Essential to Sequence the Entire 16S Rrna Gene for Bacterial

    » INSTRUMENTATION » Is it Essential to Sequence Introduction Bacterial Identification in the biopharmaceutical industry, especially in the Entire 16S rRNA Gene manufacturing facilities, is very important because an occurrence of a problematic microorganism in the final product could be harmful for the end user and detrimental to a company’s finances and reputation. for Bacterial Identification? Environmental Monitoring (EM) programs are the cornerstone of understanding the microbial ecology in a manufacturing facility and have become a regulatory requirement for most manufacturers. The EM program is a biological surveillance system which enables companies to quickly identify organisms which are transient or resident in their facilities before these organisms have an opportunity to contaminate a product. A properly executed EM program provides an early warning of potential contamination problems due to Sunhee Hong, PhD and equipment failure, inadequate cleaning, or deficiencies in staff hygiene Christine E. Farrance, PhD training, for example, so that problems can be corrected to prevent Charles River adulteration of the end product. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has published guidelines for the production of sterile drugs by aseptic processing which includes a section on EM programs, and the USP general information chapter “Microbiological Control and Monitoring of Aseptic Processing Environments” also contains detailed information regarding EM programs1. The EM program is only effective if the organisms recovered from the facility are accurately identified, so the information gathered can be used to understand the microbial control through tracking and trending and dictate appropriate remediation activities. There are several different options available for bacterial identification; however, the use of 16S rRNA gene sequences has been considered the most powerful and accurate tool, while conventional phenotypic methods often show major weaknesses2-5.

Based on 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity comparisons, strain Ca7T was grouped in the genus Bacillus, most closely related to Bacillus nanhaiensis JSM 082006T (100 %), Bacillus barbaricus V2-BIII-A2T (99.2 %) and Bacillus arsenicus Con a/3T (97.7 %). Moderate 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities were found to the type strains of the species Bacillus gelatini and Bacillus rigui (96.4 %), Bacillus macauensis (95.1 %) and Bacillus solisalsi (96.1 %). All these species were grouped into a monophyletic cluster and showed very low sequence similarities (,94 %) to the type species of the genus Bacillus, Bacillus subtilis.Thequinonesystemof strain Ca7T consists predominantly of menaquinone MK-7. The polar lipid profile exhibited the major compounds diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylethanolamine. In addition, minor compounds of an unidentified phospholipid and an aminophospholipid were detected. No glycolipids were found in strain Ca7T, which was consistent with the lipid profiles of B.

HEINZ SCHLESNER," CHRISTINA BARTELS, MANUEL SITTIG, MATTHIAS DORSCH, AND ERKO STACKEBRANDTT Institut fur Allgemeine Mikrobiologie, Christian-Albrecht-Universitat, 2300 Kiel, Federal Republic of Germany Four strains of budding, hyphal bacteria, which had very similar chemotaxonomic properties, were isolated from the Baltic Sea. The results of DNA-DNA hybridization experiments, indicated that three of the new isolates were closely related, while the fourth was only moderately related to the other three. Sequence signature and higher-order structural detail analyses of the 16s rRNA of strain IFAM 141gT (T = type strain) indicated that this isolate is related to the alpha subclass of the class Proteobacteriu. Although our isolates resemble members of the genera Hyphomicrobium and Hyphomonas in morphology, assignment to either of these genera was excluded on the basis of their markedly lower DNA guanine-plus-cytosine contents. We propose that these organisms should be placed in a new genus, Hirschiu baltica is the type species of this genus, and the type strain of H. bdtica is strain IFAM 1418 (= DSM 5838). Since the first description of a hyphal, budding bacterium, no1 and formamide were tested at concentrations of 0.02 and Hyphomicrobium vulgare (53), only the following additional 0.1% (vol/vol).

Xylose and glucose were converted to fatty acids, CO2,H2, and CH4 under moderately acidic, anoxic conditions, indicating that the fen harbors moderately acid-tolerant xylose- and glucose-using fermen- ters, as well as moderately acid-tolerant methanogens. Organisms of the families Acidaminococcaceae, Aero- monadaceae, Clostridiaceae, Enterobacteriaceae, and Pseudomonadaceae and the order Actinomycetales, including hitherto unknown organisms, utilized xylose- or glucose-derived carbon, suggesting that highly diverse facul- tative aerobes and obligate anaerobes contribute to the flow of carbon in the fen under anoxic conditions. Uncultured Euryarchaeota (i.e., Methanosarcinaceae and Methanobacteriaceae) and Crenarchaeota species were
