ISME Latin America Congress MURAL RAÍZ DE LA EXISTENCIA Pintura mural en Cerro Larraín, frente al Parlamento chileno al otro lado de la Avenida Argentina, Valparaíso. Mural en una pared (120 m2) de un edificio de la Población Clark de 1954. 8 El objetivo de realizar un mural nace como agradecimiento a la ciudad que albergó alrededor de 400 personas durante los días del Congreso ISME-LA 2019 y refleja la idea de acercar a la comunidad de Valparaíso a los quehaceres científicos propios de esta actividad desarrollada en la Universidad Técnica Federico Santa María. También busca enaltecer el trabajo que realizan artistas y gestores culturales de organizaciones sin fines de lucro como es la ONG Valparaíso en Colores y el operador turístico Lado B Walking Tour quienes fueron los gestores de la ejecución de este mural donde el artistaJuan Pablo Gatica (Jotapé), fue capaz de plasmar su arte inspirado en la temática del congreso “Biodiversity at its best”. Muralista: Juan Pablo Gatica, Jotapé. Nacido en Viña del Mar y vive en Valparaíso. Arquitecto con pinturas murales en Chile, Ecuador, Nicaragua, Bolivia, España y Francia. Muralista de diversos proyectos como “Valparaíso en colores” (2016-2019), Teatro Municipal Viña del Mar (2017), La Calera en colores (2018). Lema: “El hombre se hizo siempre de todo el material... con una mano blanca y otra mortal”. 9 El mural es a libre interpretación del espectador. Jotapé se inspiró en temáticas de ecología microbiana y biodiversidad para plasmar esta idea y mirada creativa y holística al mundo de los microorganismos. Se refleja la interacción entre los seres vivos que son fundamentales para la propia existencia entre el medio ambiente interno y externo, como también la imagen del ser humano surgiendo desde la cooperación. Como lo planteó Jotapé; “el Mural Raíz de la Existencia fue creado pensando en nuestro origen, la pregunta que nos hemos hecho como especie animal que en su evolución alcanzó el desarrollo de una conciencia y que hemos puesto sus facultades al servicio de buscar esa respuesta. Somos barro que originó un cuerpo vivo, un cuerpo que no ha escatimado en recursos para explicarse por qué estamos acá. Es una bella tarea entendernos, y hoy me planto con este trabajo a interpretar esa historia tan humana que traemos desde los anales remotos de nuestra existencia. Nuestros ancestros miraban las estrellas, y hoy estudiamos nuestra propia constitución y sabemos más, sin embargo, la respuesta siempre ahonda verdades cada vez más profundas e indescifrables, tal vez algún día, o tal vez nunca, contestemos la pregunta, pero qué bello es recorrer el tránsito de hallarle respuesta. Como dicen por ahí, somos una especie en viaje.” MURAL Root of the Existence The objective of creating a mural was born as a gift to the city that hosted around 400 persons during the days of the ISME-LA 2019 Congress held at the Universidad Técnica Federico Santa María. The mural reflects the idea of bringing the community of Valparaiso closer to the scientific world. It highlights the work of artists and cultural managers of non-profit organizations such as “Valparaiso en Colores” and the touristic operator “Lado B: Walking Tour”, who where the managers of the execution of this mural where the artist Juan Pablo Gatica (Jotapé) was able to capture his art inspired by the motto of the congress “Biodiversity at its best”. Muralist: Juan Pablo Gatica, Jotapé. Born in Viña del Mar and lives in Valparaíso. Architect with wall paintings in Chile, Ecuador, Nicaragua, Bolivia, Spain and France. Muralist of diverse projects including “Valparaíso in colors” (2016-2019), Municipal Theater Viña del Mar (2017), La Calera in colors (2018). Motto: “The man was always made of all the material ... with a white hand and a killing hand”. The mural is open to a free interpretation by the spectator. Jotapé was inspired by themes of microbial ecology and biodiversity, capturing this idea with a creative and holistic look to the microbial world. It reflects the interaction between living organisms that are crucial to their own existence between the internal and external environment, as well as the image of the human being emerging

    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.

Microbiome (2017) 5:97 DOI 10.1186/s40168-017-0304-4 RESEARCH Open Access Huanglongbing impairs the rhizosphere-to- rhizoplane enrichment process of the citrus root-associated microbiome Yunzeng Zhang1†, Jin Xu1†, Nadia Riera1†, Tao Jin2, Jinyun Li1 and Nian Wang1,3* Abstract Background: Roots are the primary site for plant-microbe interactions. Among the three root-associated layers (i.e., rhizosphere, rhizoplane, and endorhiza), the rhizoplane is a key component serving a critical gating role that controls microbial entry into plant roots. The microbial communities colonizing the three layers are believed to be gradually enriched from the bulk soil inoculum. However, it is unknown how this enrichment process, particularly the rhizosphere to rhizoplane step, is affected by biotic stresses, such as disease. In this study, we address this question using the citrus root-associated microbiome as a model. Results: We identified the rhizosphere-to-rhizoplane-enriched taxonomic and functional properties of the citrus root- associated microbiome and determined how they were affected by Huanglongbing (HLB), a severe systemic disease caused by Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus, using metagenomic and metatranscriptomic approaches. Multiple rhizoplane-enriched genera were identified, with Bradyrhizobium and Burkholderia being the most dominant. Plant-derived carbon sources are an important driving force for the enrichment process.

    Selection of Endophytic Strains for Enhanced Bacteria-Assisted Phytoremediation of Organic Pollutants Posing a Public Health Hazard

    International Journal of Molecular Sciences Review Selection of Endophytic Strains for Enhanced Bacteria-Assisted Phytoremediation of Organic Pollutants Posing a Public Health Hazard Magdalena Anna Kara´s*, Sylwia Wdowiak-Wróbel and Wojciech Sokołowski Department of Genetics and Microbiology, Institute of Biological Sciences, Faculty of Biology and Biotechnology, Maria Curie-Skłodowska University, Akademicka 19, 20-033 Lublin, Poland; [email protected] (S.W.-W.); [email protected] (W.S.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +48-81-537-50-58 Abstract: Anthropogenic activities generate a high quantity of organic pollutants, which have an impact on human health and cause adverse environmental effects. Monitoring of many hazardous contaminations is subject to legal regulations, but some substances such as therapeutic agents, personal care products, hormones, and derivatives of common organic compounds are currently not included in these regulations. Classical methods of removal of organic pollutants involve economically challenging processes. In this regard, remediation with biological agents can be an alternative. For in situ decontamination, the plant-based approach called phytoremediation can be used. However, the main disadvantages of this method are the limited accumulation capacity of plants, sensitivity to the action of high concentrations of hazardous pollutants, and no possibility of using pollutants for growth. To overcome these drawbacks and additionally increase the efficiency of Citation: Kara´s,M.A.; the process, an integrated technology of bacteria-assisted phytoremediation is being used recently. Wdowiak-Wróbel, S.; Sokołowski, W.

    Taxonomic Hierarchy of the Phylum Proteobacteria and Korean Indigenous Novel Proteobacteria Species

    Journal of Species Research 8(2):197-214, 2019 Taxonomic hierarchy of the phylum Proteobacteria and Korean indigenous novel Proteobacteria species Chi Nam Seong1,*, Mi Sun Kim1, Joo Won Kang1 and Hee-Moon Park2 1Department of Biology, College of Life Science and Natural Resources, Sunchon National University, Suncheon 57922, Republic of Korea 2Department of Microbiology & Molecular Biology, College of Bioscience and Biotechnology, Chungnam National University, Daejeon 34134, Republic of Korea *Correspondent: [email protected] The taxonomic hierarchy of the phylum Proteobacteria was assessed, after which the isolation and classification state of Proteobacteria species with valid names for Korean indigenous isolates were studied. The hierarchical taxonomic system of the phylum Proteobacteria began in 1809 when the genus Polyangium was first reported and has been generally adopted from 2001 based on the road map of Bergey’s Manual of Systematic Bacteriology. Until February 2018, the phylum Proteobacteria consisted of eight classes, 44 orders, 120 families, and more than 1,000 genera. Proteobacteria species isolated from various environments in Korea have been reported since 1999, and 644 species have been approved as of February 2018. In this study, all novel Proteobacteria species from Korean environments were affiliated with four classes, 25 orders, 65 families, and 261 genera. A total of 304 species belonged to the class Alphaproteobacteria, 257 species to the class Gammaproteobacteria, 82 species to the class Betaproteobacteria, and one species to the class Epsilonproteobacteria. The predominant orders were Rhodobacterales, Sphingomonadales, Burkholderiales, Lysobacterales and Alteromonadales. The most diverse and greatest number of novel Proteobacteria species were isolated from marine environments. Proteobacteria species were isolated from the whole territory of Korea, with especially large numbers from the regions of Chungnam/Daejeon, Gyeonggi/Seoul/Incheon, and Jeonnam/Gwangju.

BMC Genomics (2019) 20:407 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12864-019-5751-9 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Genomic evidence of the illumination response mechanism and evolutionary history of magnetotactic bacteria within the Rhodospirillaceae family Yinzhao Wang1,2,3* , Giorgio Casaburi4, Wei Lin2, Ying Li5, Fengping Wang1 and Yongxin Pan2,3 Abstract Background: Magnetotactic bacteria (MTB) are ubiquitous in natural aquatic environments. MTB can produce intracellular magnetic particles, navigate along geomagnetic field, and respond to light. However, the potential mechanism by which MTB respond to illumination and their evolutionary relationship with photosynthetic bacteria remain elusive. Results: We utilized genomes of the well-sequenced genus Magnetospirillum, including the newly sequenced MTB strain Magnetospirillum sp. XM-1 to perform a comprehensive genomic comparison with phototrophic bacteria within the family Rhodospirillaceae regarding the illumination response mechanism. First, photoreceptor genes were identified in the genomes of both MTB and phototrophic bacteria in the Rhodospirillaceae family, but no photosynthesis genes were found in the MTB genomes. Most of the photoreceptor genes in the MTB genomes from this family encode phytochrome-domain photoreceptors that likely induce red/far-red light phototaxis. Second, illumination also causes damage within the cell, and in Rhodospirillaceae, both MTB and phototrophic bacteria possess complex but similar sets of response and repair genes, such as oxidative stress response,
