These advances have allowed us to gather vast amounts of data, marvel at the remarkable diversity of microbial communities, culture previously unculturable organisms and discover novel ecosystem functions. These rapid developments now call for critical evaluation of the vast knowledge obtained and for hypothesis-driven research that will lead to novel concepts and connections and will be addressed during the 12th Meeting on Bacterial Genetics and Ecology (BAGECO 12). We are pleased to welcome some of the most renowned scientists in this field to give presentations on recent advances in prokaryotic evolution and horizontal gene transfer, sociomicrobiology and microbial community networking, microbial interac- tions with eukaryotic hosts, drivers of microbial community diversity and ecological outcomes, beneficial microbes, and microbial responses to anthropogenic impacts and biotechnological advances that may alleviate them. Your abstract contributions have helped us prepare a very exciting programme encompassing 36 oral and 230 poster presen- tations and we would like to thank you for supporting

  • Heat Resistant Thermophilic Endospores in Cold Estuarine Sediments
    Heat resistant thermophilic endospores in cold estuarine sediments Emma Bell Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Civil Engineering and Geosciences Faculty of Science, Agriculture and Engineering February 2016 Abstract Microbial biogeography explores the spatial and temporal distribution of microorganisms at multiple scales and is influenced by environmental selection and passive dispersal. Understanding the relative contribution of these factors can be challenging as their effects can be difficult to differentiate. Dormant thermophilic endospores in cold sediments offer a natural model for studies focusing on passive dispersal. Understanding distributions of these endospores is not confounded by the influence of environmental selection; rather their occurrence is due exclusively to passive transport. Sediment heating experiments were designed to investigate the dispersal histories of various thermophilic spore-forming Firmicutes in the River Tyne, a tidal estuary in North East England linking inland tributaries with the North Sea. Microcosm incubations at 50-80°C were monitored for sulfate reduction and enriched bacterial populations were characterised using denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis, functional gene clone libraries and high-throughput sequencing. The distribution of thermophilic endospores among different locations along the estuary was spatially variable, indicating that dispersal vectors originating in both warm terrestrial and marine habitats contribute to microbial diversity in estuarine and marine environments. In addition to their persistence in cold sediments, some endospores displayed a remarkable heat-resistance surviving multiple rounds of autoclaving. These extremely heat-resistant endospores are genetically similar to those detected in deep subsurface environments, including geothermal groundwater investigated from a nearby terrestrial borehole drilled to >1800 m depth with bottom temperatures in excess of 70°C.

  • CO-Dependent Hydrogen Production by the Facultative Anaerobe Parageobacillus Thermoglucosidasius
    Mohr et al. Microb Cell Fact (2018) 17:108 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12934-018-0954-3 Microbial Cell Factories RESEARCH Open Access CO‑dependent hydrogen production by the facultative anaerobe Parageobacillus thermoglucosidasius Teresa Mohr1,4* , Habibu Aliyu1, Raphael Küchlin1, Shamara Polliack2, Michaela Zwick1, Anke Neumann1, Don Cowan2 and Pieter de Maayer3 Abstract Background: The overreliance on dwindling fossil fuel reserves and the negative climatic efects of using such fuels are driving the development of new clean energy sources. One such alternative source is hydrogen (H­ 2), which can be generated from renewable sources. Parageobacillus thermoglucosidasius is a facultative anaerobic thermophilic bacte- rium which is frequently isolated from high temperature environments including hot springs and compost. Results: Comparative genomics performed in the present study showed that P. thermoglucosidasius encodes two evolutionary distinct ­H2-uptake [Ni-Fe]-hydrogenases and one ­H2-evolving hydrogenases. In addition, genes encod- ing an anaerobic CO dehydrogenase (CODH) are co-localized with genes encoding a putative ­H2-evolving hydroge- nase. The co-localized of CODH and uptake hydrogenase form an enzyme complex that might potentially be involved in catalyzing the water-gas shift reaction (CO ­H2O ­CO2 ­H2) in P. thermoglucosidasius. Cultivation of P. thermo- glucosidasius DSM ­2542T with an initial gas atmosphere+ → of 50%+ CO and 50% air showed it to be capable of growth at elevated CO concentrations (50%). Furthermore, GC analyses showed that it was capable of producing hydrogen at an equimolar conversion with a fnal yield of 1.08 ­H2/CO. Conclusions: This study highlights the potential of the facultative anaerobic P.

Pyrrhocoridae, Pyrrhocoris sibiricus, digestion, gut microbiota, community structure, functional profi ling, next- generation sequencing, 16S rRNA gene Abstract. In pyrrhocorids, digestion of food occurs mainly in the midgut, which is divided into four parts (M1–M4), and takes be- tween three and four days. Food is retained in M1 for about 5 h and passes quickly through M4. However, food is retained in M2 and M3 much longer, about 70 to 90 h. The different stages in digestion may be infl uenced by different microbial populations in the different parts of the midgut. In the present study, the microbiota in the four parts of the midgut of Pyrrhocoris sibiricus were analysed in detail using high-throughput sequencing of the 16S rRNA V3–V4 region. The most abundant bacteria in M3 were Actinobacteria (Coriobacteriaceae) whereas it was Proteobacteria (gammaproteobacteria) in M1, M2 and M4. Actinobacteria was the second most abundant bacterial group in M2. According to the PCA analysis, M2 and M3 have the most similar bacterial com- munities.

    The ISME Journal (2015) 9, 1152–1165 & 2015 International Society for Microbial Ecology All rights reserved 1751-7362/15 OPEN www.nature.com/ismej ORIGINAL ARTICLE Phylogenetic and environmental diversity of DsrAB-type dissimilatory (bi)sulfite reductases Albert Leopold Mu¨ ller1,2, Kasper Urup Kjeldsen3, Thomas Rattei4, Michael Pester5 and Alexander Loy1,2 1Department of Microbiology and Ecosystem Science, Division of Microbial Ecology, Faculty of Life Sciences, University of Vienna, Vienna, Austria; 2Austrian Polar Research Institute, Vienna, Austria; 3Center for Geomicrobiology, Department of Bioscience, Aarhus University, Aarhus, Denmark; 4Division of Computational Systems Biology, Department of Microbiology and Ecosystem Science, Faculty of Life Sciences, University of Vienna, Vienna, Austria and 5Department of Biology, University of Konstanz, Konstanz, Germany The energy metabolism of essential microbial guilds in the biogeochemical sulfur cycle is based on a DsrAB-type dissimilatory (bi)sulfite reductase that either catalyzes the reduction of sulfite to sulfide during anaerobic respiration of sulfate, sulfite and organosulfonates, or acts in reverse during sulfur oxidation. Common use of dsrAB as a functional marker showed that dsrAB richness in many environments is dominated by novel sequence variants and collectively represents an extensive, largely uncharted sequence assemblage. Here, we established a comprehensive, manually curated dsrAB/DsrAB database and used it to categorize the known dsrAB diversity, reanalyze the evolutionary history of dsrAB and evaluate the coverage of published dsrAB-targeted primers. Based on a DsrAB consensus phylogeny, we introduce an operational classification system for environmental dsrAB sequences that integrates established taxonomic groups with operational taxonomic units (OTUs) at multiple phylogenetic levels, ranging from DsrAB enzyme families that reflect reductive or oxidative DsrAB types of bacterial or archaeal origin, superclusters, uncultured family-level lineages to species-level OTUs.

Tringe3, Ramunas Stepanauskas4 and Michael S. Rappé5 1 Department of Oceanography, University of Hawaii at Manoa, Honolulu, HI, United States 2 Center for Dark Energy Biosphere Investigations, University of Southern California, Los Angeles, CA, United States 3 DOE Joint Genome Institute, Walnut Creek, CA, United States 4 Single Cell Genomics Center, Bigelow Laboratory for Ocean Sciences, East Boothbay, ME, United States 5 Hawaii Institute of Marine Biology, University of Hawaii at Manoa, Kaneohe, HI, United States ABSTRACT It is generally accepted that diverse, poorly characterized microorganisms reside deep within Earth's crust. One such lineage of deep subsurface-dwelling bacteria is an uncultivated member of the Firmicutes phylum that can dominate molecular surveys from both marine and continental rock fracture fluids, sometimes forming the sole member of a single-species microbiome. Here, we reconstructed a genome from basalt- hosted fluids of the deep subseafloor along the eastern Juan de Fuca Ridge flank and used a phylogenomic analysis to show that, despite vast differences in geographic origin and habitat, it forms a monophyletic clade with the terrestrial deep subsurface genome of ``Candidatus Desulforudis audaxviator'' MP104C. While a limited number of differences were observed between the marine genome of ``Candidatus Desulfopertinax cowenii'' modA32 and its terrestrial relative that may be of potential adaptive impor- tance, here it is revealed that the two are remarkably similar thermophiles possessing the genetic capacity for motility, sporulation, hydrogenotrophy, chemoorganotrophy, Submitted 13 November 2016 dissimilatory sulfate reduction, and the ability to fix inorganic carbon via the Wood- Accepted 1 March 2017 Ljungdahl pathway for chemoautotrophic growth.

Here, we reconstructed a genome from basalt-hosted fluids of the deep subseafloor along the eastern Juan de Fuca Ridge flank and used a phylogenomic analysis to show that, despite vast differences in geographic origin and habitat, it forms a monophyletic clade with the terrestrial deep subsurface genome of “Candidatus Desulforudis audaxviator” MP104C.
