Enrichment and Diversity Analysis of the Thermophilic Microbes in a High Temperature Petroleum Reservoir
African Journal of Microbiology Research Vol. 5(14), pp. 1850-1857, 18 July, 2011 Available online http://www.academicjournals.org/ajmr DOI: 10.5897/AJMR11.354 ISSN 1996-0808 ©2011 Academic Journals Full Length Research Paper Enrichment and diversity analysis of the thermophilic microbes in a high temperature petroleum reservoir Guihong Lan1,2, Zengting Li1, Hui zhang3, Changjun Zou2, Dairong Qiao1 and Yi Cao1* 1School of Life Science, Sichuan University, Chengdu 610065, China. 2School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Southwest Petroleum University, Chengdu 610500, China. 3Biogas Institute of Ministry of Agriculture P. R. China, Chengdu 610041, China. Accepted 1 June, 2011 Thermophilic microbial diversity in production water from a high temperature, water-flooded petroleum reservoir of an offshore oilfield in China was characterized by enrichment and polymerase chain reaction-denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (PCR-DGGE) analysis. Six different function enrichment cultures were cultivated one year, at 75°C DGGE and sequence analyses of 16S rRNA gene fragments were used to assess the thermophilic microbial diversity. A total of 27 bacterial and 9 archaeal DGGE bands were excised and sequenced. Phylogenetic analysis of these sequences indicated that 21 bacterial and 7 archaeal phylotypes were affiliated with thermophilic microbe. The bacterial sequences were mainly bonged to the genera Fervidobacterium, Thermotoga, Dictyoglomus, Symbiobacterium, Moorella, Thermoanaerobacter, Desulfotomaculum, Thermosyntropha, Coprothermobacter, Caloramator, Thermacetogenium, and the archaeal phylogypes were represented in the genera Geoglobus and Thermococcus, Methanomethylovorans, Methanothermobacter Methanoculleus and Methanosaeta. So many thermophiles were detected suggesting that they might be common habitants in high-temperature petroleum reservoirs. The results of this work provide further insight into the thermophilic composition of microbial communities in high temperature petroleum reservoirs. -

Metatranscriptomic Insights on Gene Expression and Regulatory Controls in Candidatus Accumulibacter Phosphatis
The ISME Journal (2016) 10, 810–822 © 2016 International Society for Microbial Ecology All rights reserved 1751-7362/16 OPEN www.nature.com/ismej ORIGINAL ARTICLE Metatranscriptomic insights on gene expression and regulatory controls in Candidatus Accumulibacter phosphatis Ben O Oyserman1, Daniel R Noguera1, Tijana Glavina del Rio2, Susannah G Tringe2 and Katherine D McMahon1,3 1Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, University of Wisconsin at Madison, Madison, WI, USA; 2US Department of Energy Joint Genome Institute, Walnut Creek, CA, USA and 3Department of Bacteriology, University of Wisconsin at Madison, Madison, WI, USA Previous studies on enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR) have focused on reconstruct- ing genomic blueprints for the model polyphosphate-accumulating organism Candidatus Accumu- libacter phosphatis. Here, a time series metatranscriptome generated from enrichment cultures of Accumulibacter was used to gain insight into anerobic/aerobic metabolism and regulatory mechanisms within an EBPR cycle. Co-expressed gene clusters were identified displaying ecologically relevant trends consistent with batch cycle phases. Transcripts displaying increased abundance during anerobic acetate contact were functionally enriched in energy production and conversion, including upregulation of both cytoplasmic and membrane-bound hydrogenases demonstrating the importance of transcriptional regulation to manage energy and electron flux during anerobic acetate contact. We hypothesized and demonstrated hydrogen production after anerobic acetate contact, a previously unknown strategy for Accumulibacter to maintain redox balance. Genes involved in anerobic glycine utilization were identified and phosphorus release after anerobic glycine contact demonstrated, suggesting that Accumulibacter routes diverse carbon sources to acetyl-CoA formation via previously unrecognized pathways. A comparative genomics analysis of sequences upstream of co-expressed genes identified two statistically significant putative regulatory motifs. -

Ecophysiology of Sulfate-Reducing Bacteria and Syntrophic Communities in Marine Anoxic Sediments” Derya Özüölmez Wageningen, 12 September 2017
Propositions 1. Prolonged incubation is a key strategy toward the enrichment of marine syntrophs. (this thesis) 2. Hydrogen-consuming methanogens can effectively compete with hydrogen- consuming sulfate reducers even at high sulfate concentration. (this thesis) 3. The plastic-eating wax worm, Galleria mellonella, can help cleaning up existing plastic mass (Bombelli et al. 2017, Current Biology 27(8): 292-293), but the real solution to environmental pollution still relies on shifting from disposable plastics to reusable and biodegradable materials. 4. With the discovery of abundant molecular hydrogen in Enceladus’ salty ocean (Waite et al. (2017) Science 356:6334, 155-159) extraterrestrial life in our solar system has become highly probable, and should shift our life-hunting focus from distant stars to our nearby neighbors. 5. With the "Help me to do it myself" motto, the Montessori education leads children to grow into mature, creative and self-confident adults. 6. Nothing is impossible as long as the dream is held close to the heart and patience and persistence are applied for the accomplishment.
