Arthrobacter Paludis Sp. Nov., Isolated from a Marsh TAXONOMIC DESCRIPTION Zhang et al., Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2018;68:47–51 DOI 10.1099/ijsem.0.002426 Arthrobacter paludis sp. nov., isolated from a marsh Qi Zhang,1 Mihee Oh,1 Jong-Hwa Kim,1 Rungravee Kanjanasuntree,1 Maytiya Konkit,1 Ampaitip Sukhoom,2 Duangporn Kantachote2 and Wonyong Kim1,* Abstract A novel Gram-stain-positive, strictly aerobic, non-endospore-forming bacterium, designated CAU 9143T, was isolated from a hydric soil sample collected from Seogmo Island in the Republic of Korea. Strain CAU 9143T grew optimally at 30 C, at pH 7.0 and in the presence of 1 % (w/v) NaCl. The phylogenetic trees based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strain CAU 9143T belonged to the genus Arthrobacter and was closely related to Arthrobacter ginkgonis SYP-A7299T (97.1 % T similarity). Strain CAU 9143 contained menaquinone MK-9 (H2) as the major respiratory quinone and diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylinositol, two glycolipids and two unidentified phospholipids as the major polar lipids. The whole-cell sugars were glucose and galactose. The peptidoglycan type was A4a (L-Lys–D-Glu2) and the major cellular fatty T acid was anteiso-C15 : 0. The DNA G+C content was 64.4 mol% and the level of DNA–DNA relatedness between CAU 9143 and the most closely related strain, A. ginkgonis SYP-A7299T, was 22.3 %. Based on phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and genetic data, strain CAU 9143T represents a novel species of the genus Arthrobacter, for which the name Arthrobacter paludis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is CAU 9143T (=KCTC 13958T,=CECT 8917T).

    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Actinobacteria associated with Chinaberry tree are diverse and show antimicrobial activity Received: 28 February 2018 Ke Zhao1, Jing Li1, Meiling Shen1, Qiang Chen1, Maoke Liu2, Xiaolin Ao1, Decong Liao1, Accepted: 10 July 2018 Yunfu Gu1, Kaiwei Xu1, Menggen Ma1, Xiumei Yu1, Quanju Xiang1, Ji Chen1, Xiaoping Zhang1 & Published: xx xx xxxx Petri Penttinen 3,4 Many actinobacteria produce secondary metabolites that include antimicrobial compounds. Since most of the actinobacteria cannot be cultivated, their antimicrobial potential awaits to be revealed. We hypothesized that the actinobacterial endophyte communities inside Melia toosendan (Chinaberry) tree are diverse, include strains with antimicrobial activity, and that antimicrobial activity can be detected using a cultivation independent approach and co-occurrence analysis. We isolated and identifed actinobacteria from Chinaberry, tested their antimicrobial activities, and characterized the communities using amplicon sequencing and denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis as cultivation independent methods. Most of the isolates were identifed as Streptomyces spp., whereas based on amplicon sequencing the most abundant OTU was assigned to Rhodococcus, and Tomitella was the most diverse genus. Out of the 135 isolates, 113 inhibited the growth of at least one indicator organism. Six out of the 7577 operational taxonomic units (OTUs) matched 46 cultivated isolates. Only three OTUs, Streptomyces OTU4, OTU11, and OTU26, and their corresponding isolate groups were available for comparing co-occurrences and antimicrobial activity. Streptomyces OTU4 correlated negatively with a high number of OTUs, and the isolates corresponding to Streptomyces OTU4 had high antimicrobial activity. However, for the other two OTUs and their corresponding isolate groups there was no clear relation between the numbers of negative correlations and antimicrobial activity.

However, the knowledge of culturable bacterial communities found in this extreme ecotope’s soil is yet insufficient. Therefore, our research has been aimed to fulfil this lack of knowledge and improve the understanding of functioning of edaphic bacterial communities of the Central Mojave Desert soil. We characterized aerobic heterotrophic soil bacterial communities of the central region of the Mojave Desert. A high total number of prokaryotic cells and a high proportion of culturable forms in the soil studied were observed. Prevalence of Actinobacteria, Proteobacteria, and Firmicutes was discovered. The dominance of pigmented strains in culturable communities and high proportion of thermotolerant and pH-tolerant bacteria were detected. Resistance to a number of salts, including the ones found in Martian regolith, as well as antibiotic resistance, were also estimated.

  • Taxonomy and Systematics of Plant Probiotic Bacteria in the Genomic Era

Abstract: Recent decades have predicted significant changes within our concept of plant endophytes, from only a small number specific microorganisms being able to colonize plant tissues, to whole communities that live and interact with their hosts and each other. Many of these microorganisms are responsible for health status of the plant, and have become known in recent years as plant probiotics. Contrary to human probiotics, they belong to many different phyla and have usually had each genus analysed independently, which has resulted in lack of a complete taxonomic analysis as a group. This review scrutinizes the plant probiotic concept, and the taxonomic status of plant probiotic bacteria, based on both traditional and more recent approaches. Phylogenomic studies and genes with implications in plant-beneficial effects are discussed. This report covers some representative probiotic bacteria of the phylum Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria, Firmicutes and Bacteroidetes, but also includes minor representatives and less studied groups within these phyla which have been identified as plant probiotics.

Growth occurred at 23–35°C (optimum, 30°C) in the presence of 0.5-4 % (w/v) NaCl (optimum, 1%) and at pH 7.0–8.0 (optimum, pH 7.0). The phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequence revealed that strain YIM S02566T was most closely related to the genus Aestuariimicrobium, with Aestuariimicrobium kwangyangense R27T and Aestuariimicrobium soli D6T as its closest relative (sequence similarities were 96.3% and 95.4%, respectively). YIM S02566T contained LL-diaminopimelic acid in the cell wall.

A two-prong approach was used to assess a commercially available microbial identification system: confirmation of known cultures and fish spoilage experiments to isolate unknowns for identification. Bacterial isolates from the Fishery Industrial Technology Center Culture Collection (FITCCC) and the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC) were used to test the identification ability of the Sherlock Microbial Identification System (MIS). Twelve ATCC and 21 FITCCC strains were identified to species with the exception of Pseudomonas fluorescens and P. putida which could not be distinguished by cellular fatty acid analysis. The bacterial flora changes that occurred in iced Alaska pink salmon ( Oncorhynchus gorbuscha) were determined by the rapid method.

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.

Page 1/37 Abstract Background: Night-soil compost (NSC) has traditionally been conserving water and a source of organic manure in northwestern Himalaya. Lately, this traditional method is declining due to modernization, its unhygienic conditions, and social apprehensions. Reduction in the age-old traditional practice has led to excessive chemical fertilizers and water shortage in the eco-sensitive region. In the current study, a bacterium has been analysed for its safety, cold-adaptation, ecient degradation, and plant growth potential attributes for its possible application as a safe bioinoculant in psychrotrophic bacterial consortia for improved night-soil composting. Results: Glutamicibacter arilaitensis LJH19, a psychrotrophic bacterium, was isolated from the night-soil compost of Lahaul valley in northwestern Himalaya.
