As ‘Roseobacter clade’, these ‘roseobacters’ are assumed to be monophyletic, but non- marine Rhodobacteraceae have not yet been included in phylogenomic analyses. Therefore, we analysed 106 genome sequences, particularly emphasizing gene sampling and its effect on phylogenetic stability, and investigated relationships between marine versus non-marine habitat, evolutionary origin and genomic adaptations. Our analyses, providing no unequivocal evidence for the monophyly of roseobacters, indicate several shifts between marine and non-marine habitats that occurred independently and were accompanied by characteristic changes in genomic content of orthologs, enzymes and metabolic pathways. Non-marine Rhodobacteraceae gained high-affinity transporters to cope with much lower sulphate concentrations and lost genes related to the reduced sodium chloride and organohalogen concentrations in their habitats. Marine Rhodobacteraceae gained genes required for fucoidan desulphonation and synthesis of the plant hormone indole 3-acetic acid and the compatible solutes ectoin and carnitin. However, neither plasmid composition, even though typical for the family, nor the degree of oligotrophy shows a systematic difference between marine and non-marine Rhodobacteraceae. We suggest the operational term ‘Roseobacter group’ for the marine Rhodobacteraceae strains.

  • Horizontal Operon Transfer, Plasmids, and the Evolution of Photosynthesis in Rhodobacteraceae
    The ISME Journal (2018) 12:1994–2010 https://doi.org/10.1038/s41396-018-0150-9 ARTICLE Horizontal operon transfer, plasmids, and the evolution of photosynthesis in Rhodobacteraceae 1 2 3 4 1 Henner Brinkmann ● Markus Göker ● Michal Koblížek ● Irene Wagner-Döbler ● Jörn Petersen Received: 30 January 2018 / Revised: 23 April 2018 / Accepted: 26 April 2018 / Published online: 24 May 2018 © The Author(s) 2018. This article is published with open access Abstract The capacity for anoxygenic photosynthesis is scattered throughout the phylogeny of the Proteobacteria. Their photosynthesis genes are typically located in a so-called photosynthesis gene cluster (PGC). It is unclear (i) whether phototrophy is an ancestral trait that was frequently lost or (ii) whether it was acquired later by horizontal gene transfer. We investigated the evolution of phototrophy in 105 genome-sequenced Rhodobacteraceae and provide the first unequivocal evidence for the horizontal transfer of the PGC. The 33 concatenated core genes of the PGC formed a robust phylogenetic tree and the comparison with single-gene trees demonstrated the dominance of joint evolution. The PGC tree is, however, largely incongruent with the species tree and at least seven transfers of the PGC are required to reconcile both phylogenies. 1234567890();,: 1234567890();,: The origin of a derived branch containing the PGC of the model organism Rhodobacter capsulatus correlates with a diagnostic gene replacement of pufC by pufX. The PGC is located on plasmids in six of the analyzed genomes and its DnaA- like replication module was discovered at a conserved central position of the PGC. A scenario of plasmid-borne horizontal transfer of the PGC and its reintegration into the chromosome could explain the current distribution of phototrophy in Rhodobacteraceae.

  • Insights Into Mutualism Mechanism and Versatile Metabolism Of
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Insights into mutualism mechanism and versatile metabolism of Ketogulonicigenium vulgare Hbe602 Received: 20 January 2016 Accepted: 29 February 2016 based on comparative genomics Published: 16 March 2016 and metabolomics studies Nan Jia1,2, Ming-Zhu Ding1,2, Jin Du1,2, Cai-Hui Pan1,2, Geng Tian3, Ji-Dong Lang3, Jian-Huo Fang3, Feng Gao1,2,4 & Ying-Jin Yuan1,2 Ketogulonicigenium vulgare has been widely used in vitamin C two steps fermentation and requires companion strain for optimal growth. However, the understanding of K. vulgare as well as its companion strain is still preliminary. Here, the complete genome of K. vulgare Hbe602 was deciphered to provide insight into the symbiosis mechanism and the versatile metabolism. K. vulgare contains the LuxR family proteins, chemokine proteins, flagellar structure proteins, peptides and transporters for symbiosis consortium. Besides, the growth state and metabolite variation of K. vulgare were observed when five carbohydrates (D-sorbitol, L-sorbose, D-glucose, D-fructose and D-mannitol) were used as carbon source. The growth increased by 40.72% and 62.97% respectively when K. vulgare was cultured on D-mannitol/D-sorbitol than on L-sorbose. The insufficient metabolism of carbohydrates, amino acids and vitamins is the main reason for the slow growth of K. vulgare. The combined analysis of genomics and metabolomics indicated that TCA cycle, amino acid and nucleotide metabolism were significantly up-regulated when K. vulgare was cultured on the D-mannitol/D-sorbitol, which facilitated the better growth. The present study would be helpful to further understand its metabolic structure and guide the engineering transformation.

This variability can be driven by both extrinsic factors like temperature, pH, etc., as well as by intrinsic ones, such as demographic fluctuations or ecologi- cal interactions. The relative contributions of these factors and the taxonomic level at which they influence community structure remain poorly understood, in part because of the difficulty of identifying true com- munity replicates assembled under the same environmental parameters. Here, we address this problem using an activated granular sludge reactor in which millimeter scale biofilm granules represent true com- munity replicates whose differences in composition are expected to be driven primarily by biotic factors.

  • Draft Genome Sequence of the Marine Rhodobacteraceae Strain O3.65
    Giebel et al. Standards in Genomic Sciences (2016) 11:81 DOI 10.1186/s40793-016-0201-7 EXTENDED GENOME REPORT Open Access Draft genome sequence of the marine Rhodobacteraceae strain O3.65, cultivated from oil-polluted seawater of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill Helge-Ansgar Giebel1*, Franziska Klotz1, Sonja Voget2, Anja Poehlein2, Katrin Grosser1, Andreas Teske3 and Thorsten Brinkhoff1 Abstract The marine alphaproteobacterium strain O3.65 was isolated from an enrichment culture of surface seawater contaminated with weathered oil (slicks) from the Deepwater Horizon (DWH) oil spill and belongs to the ubiquitous, diverse and ecological relevant Roseobacter group within the Rhodobacteraceae. Here, we present a preliminary set of physiological features of strain O3.65 and a description and annotation of its draft genome sequence. Based on our data we suggest potential ecological roles of the isolate in the degradation of crude oil within the network of the oil-enriched microbial community. The draft genome comprises 4,852,484 bp with 4,591 protein-coding genes and 63 RNA genes. Strain O3.65 utilizes pentoses, hexoses, disaccharides and amino acids as carbon and energy source and is able to grow on several hydroxylated and substituted aromatic compounds. Based on 16S rRNA gene comparison the closest described and validated strain is Phaeobacter inhibens DSM 17395, however, strain O3.65 is lacking several phenotypic and genomic characteristics specific for the genus Phaeobacter. Phylogenomic analyses based on the whole genome support extensive genetic exchange of strain O3.65 with members of the genus Ruegeria, potentially by using the secretion system type IV. Our physiological observations are consistent with the genomic and phylogenomic analyses and support that strain O3.65 is a novel species of a new genus within the Rhodobacteraceae.

  • Bacterial Diversity in the Gorgonian Coral Eunicella Labiata and How
    Dominic Eriksson Bacterial diversity of the gorgonian coral Eunicella labiata: how much can we cultivate? UNIVERSIDADE DO ALGARVE Faculdade de Ciências e Tecnologia 2017 Dominic Eriksson Bacterial diversity of the gorgonian coral Eunicella labiata: how much can we cultivate? Mestrado em Biologia Marinha Supervisors: Prof. Dr. Ester Serrão Co-supervisor Prof. Dr. Rodrigo Costa UNIVERSIDADE DO ALGARVE Faculdade de Ciências e Tecnologia 2017 Abstract: Bacterial communities inhabiting non-calcified gorgonian corals (Octocorallia, Gorgoniidae) are apparently unique in taxonomic composition and may benefit their host by several means, including chemical defense and nutrient provision. However, in spite of their distinct phylogenetic diversity, the gorgonian symbiotic consortium has thus far been scarcely addressed, and thus the microbiota of several gorgonian hosts remains uncharted. This thesis describes the bacterial diversity found in the gorgonian host Eunicella labiata, determines its degree of uniqueness in comparison with the structure of the surrounding bacterioplankton and reveals the readily cultivatable fraction within this symbiotic consortium. To this end, a custom methodological approach was employed allowing direct comparison between the “total” and “cultivatable” bacterial community inhabiting E. labiata using massive Illumina sequencing of 16S rRNA gene amplicons. The 16S rRNA gene Operational Taxonomic Units (OTUs) were established at a cut-off of 97% gene similarity. Biodiversity indices such as the Shannon-Wiener were highest in the bacterial community obtained from seawater. A Tukey Honest Post Hoc test determined significant differences between biodiversity indices and sample categories. A closer look into taxonomic profiles and the relative abundances of dominant genera, clearly showed differences between microhabitats, with Candidatus Actinomarina dominating the seawater samples whereas within Ruegeria and Endozoicomonas represented the dominant fraction within E.

The investigation of temporal microbial dynamics has thus far been hampered by the limited access to this remote ocean. We present here high‐resolution seasonal observations of the prokaryotic community composition during phytoplankton blooms induced by natural iron fertilization. A total of 18 seawater samples was collected by a moored remote autonomous sampler over 4 months at 5‐11 day intervals in offshore surface waters (central Kerguelen Plateau). Illumina sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene revealed that among the most abundant ASVs, SAR92 and Aurantivirga were the first bloom responders, Pseudomonadaceae, Nitrincolaceae, and Polaribacter had successive peaks during the spring bloom decline, and Amylibacter increased in relative abundance later in the season. SAR11 and SUP05 were abundant prior to and after the blooms. Using network analysis, we identified two groups of diatoms representative of the spring and summer bloom that had opposite correlation patterns with prokaryotic taxa.

  • Biofilm Plasmids with a Rhamnose Operon Are Widely Distributed Determinants of the ‘Swim-Or-Stick’ Lifestyle in Roseobacters
    The ISME Journal (2016) 10, 2498–2513 © 2016 International Society for Microbial Ecology All rights reserved 1751-7362/16 OPEN www.nature.com/ismej ORIGINAL ARTICLE Biofilm plasmids with a rhamnose operon are widely distributed determinants of the ‘swim-or-stick’ lifestyle in roseobacters Victoria Michael1, Oliver Frank1, Pascal Bartling, Carmen Scheuner, Markus Göker, Henner Brinkmann and Jörn Petersen Leibniz-Institut DSMZ-Deutsche Sammlung von Mikroorganismen und Zellkulturen GmbH, Braunschweig, Germany Alphaproteobacteria of the metabolically versatile Roseobacter group (Rhodobacteraceae) are abundant in marine ecosystems and represent dominant primary colonizers of submerged surfaces. Motility and attachment are the prerequisite for the characteristic ‘swim-or-stick’ lifestyle of many representatives such as Phaeobacter inhibens DSM 17395. It has recently been shown that plasmid curing of its 65-kb RepA-I-type replicon with 420 genes for exopolysaccharide biosynthesis including a rhamnose operon results in nearly complete loss of motility and biofilm formation. The current study is based on the assumption that homologous biofilm plasmids are widely distributed. We analyzed 33 roseobacters that represent the phylogenetic diversity of this lineage and documented attachment as well as swimming motility for 60% of the strains. All strong biofilm formers were also motile, which is in agreement with the proposed mechanism of surface attachment. We established transposon mutants for the four genes of the rhamnose operon from P. inhibens and proved its crucial role in biofilm formation. In the Roseobacter group, two-thirds of the predicted biofilm plasmids represent the RepA-I type and their physiological role was experimentally validated via plasmid curing for four additional strains.
