Microbial Diversity of Non-Flooded High Temperature Petroleum Reservoir in South of Iran
Archive of SID Biological Journal of Microorganism th 8 Year, Vol. 8, No. 32, Winter 2020 Received: November 18, 2018/ Accepted: May 21, 2019.

Hence, the present study tried to identify microbial community in non-water flooding Zeilaei (ZZ) oil reservoir. Materials and methods: In this study, for the first time, non-water flooded high temperature Zeilaei oilfield was analyzed for its microbial community based on next generation sequencing of 16S rRNA genes. Results: The results obtained from this study indicated that the most abundant bacterial community belonged to phylum of Firmicutes (Bacilli ) and Thermotoga, while other phyla (Proteobacteria , Actinobacteria and Synergistetes ) were much less abundant. Bacillus subtilis , B. licheniformis , Petrotoga mobilis , P. miotherma, Fervidobacterium pennivorans , and Thermotoga subterranea were observed with high frequency. In addition, the most abundant archaea were Methanothermobacter thermautotrophicus . Discussion and conclusion: Although there are many reports on the microbial community of oil filed reservoirs, this is the first report of large quantities of Bacillus spp. -
Bioprospecting from Marine Sediments of New Brunswick, Canada: Exploring the Relationship Between Total Bacterial Diversity and Actinobacteria Diversity

Drugs 2014, 12, 899-925; doi:10.3390/md12020899 OPEN ACCESS marine drugs ISSN 1660-3397 www.mdpi.com/journal/marinedrugs Article Bioprospecting from Marine Sediments of New Brunswick, Canada: Exploring the Relationship between Total Bacterial Diversity and Actinobacteria Diversity Katherine Duncan 1, Bradley Haltli 2, Krista A.

Received: 13 November 2013; in revised form: 7 January 2014 / Accepted: 21 January 2014 / Published: 13 February 2014 Abstract: Actinomycetes are an important resource for the discovery of natural products with therapeutic properties. Bioprospecting for actinomycetes typically proceeds without a priori knowledge of the bacterial diversity present in sampled habitats. In this study, we endeavored to determine if overall bacterial diversity in marine sediments, as determined by 16S rDNA amplicon pyrosequencing, could be correlated with culturable actinomycete diversity, and thus serve as a powerful tool in guiding future bioprospecting efforts. Overall bacterial diversity was investigated in eight marine sediments from four sites in New Brunswick, Canada, resulting in over 44,000 high quality sequences (x̄ = 5610 per sample). Analysis revealed all sites exhibited significant diversity (H’ = 5.4 to 6.7). -
The Subway Microbiome: Seasonal Dynamics and Direct Comparison Of
Gohli et al. Microbiome (2019) 7:160 https://doi.org/10.1186/s40168-019-0772-9 RESEARCH Open Access The subway microbiome: seasonal dynamics and direct comparison of air and surface bacterial communities Jostein Gohli1* , Kari Oline Bøifot1,2, Line Victoria Moen1, Paulina Pastuszek3, Gunnar Skogan1, Klas I. Udekwu4 and Marius Dybwad1,2 Abstract Background: Mass transit environments, such as subways, are uniquely important for transmission of microbes among humans and built environments, and for their ability to spread pathogens and impact large numbers of people. In order to gain a deeper understanding of microbiome dynamics in subways, we must identify variables that affect microbial composition and those microorganisms that are unique to specific habitats. Methods: We performed high-throughput 16S rRNA gene sequencing of air and surface samples from 16 subway stations in Oslo, Norway, across all four seasons. Distinguishing features across seasons and between air and surface were identified using random forest classification analyses, followed by in-depth diversity analyses. Results: There were significant differences between the air and surface bacterial communities, and across seasons. Highly abundant groups were generally ubiquitous; however, a large number of taxa with low prevalence and abundance were exclusively present in only one sample matrix or one season. Among the highly abundant families and genera, we found that some were uniquely so in air samples. In surface samples, all highly abundant groups were also well represented in air samples. This is congruent with a pattern observed for the entire dataset, namely that air samples had significantly higher within-sample diversity. We also observed a seasonal pattern: diversity was higher during spring and summer. -

Actinotalea Ferrariae Sp. Nov., Isolated from an Iron Mine, and Emended Description of the Genus Actinotalea

The major fatty acids T (.5 %) of strain CF5-4 were anteiso-C15 : 0, anteiso-C15 : 1 A, C16 : 0, iso-C16 : 0, iso-C15 : 0 and anteiso-C17 : 0. The predominant respiratory quinone was MK-10(H4) and the genomic DNA G+C content was 74.7 mol%. The major polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol and one unidentified phosphoglycolipid. The peptidoglycan type of strain CF5-4T was A4b, containing L-Orn–D-Ser–D-Asp. The cell-wall sugars were rhamnose, fucose, mannose and galactose. The results of DNA–DNA hybridization in combination with the comparison of phenotypic and phylogenetic characteristics among strain CF5-4T and related micro-organisms revealed that the isolate represents a novel species of the genus Actinotalea, for which the name Actinotalea ferrariae sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is CF5-4T (5KCTC 29134T5CCTCC AB2012198T). -

Marine Rare Actinomycetes: a Promising Source of Structurally Diverse and Unique Novel Natural Products

Marine rare actinomycetes represent a rather untapped source of chemically diverse secondary metabolites and novel bioactive compounds. In this review, we aim to summarize the present knowledge on the isolation, diversity, distribution and natural product discovery of marine rare actinomycetes reported from mid-2013 to 2017. A total of 97 new species, representing 9 novel genera and belonging to 27 families of marine rare actinomycetes have been reported, with the highest numbers of novel isolates from the families Pseudonocardiaceae, Demequinaceae, Micromonosporaceae and Nocardioidaceae. Additionally, this study reviewed 167 new bioactive compounds produced by 58 different rare actinomycete species representing 24 genera. Most of the compounds produced by the marine rare actinomycetes present antibacterial, antifungal, antiparasitic, anticancer or antimalarial activities. The highest numbers of natural products were derived from the genera Nocardiopsis, Micromonospora, Salinispora and Pseudonocardia. Members of the genus Micromonospora were revealed to be the richest source of chemically diverse and unique bioactive natural products. -
