TAXONOMIC DESCRIPTION Yuan et al., Int J Syst Evol Microbiol DOI 10.1099/ijsem.0.002637 Pedobacter mongoliensis sp. nov., isolated from grassland soil Kai Yuan, Min Cao, Jingxin Li and Gejiao Wang* Abstract A Gram-stain-negative, rod-shaped, motile by gliding and strictly aerobic bacterial strain, named 1-32T, was isolated from soil of the Ordos grassland in Inner Mongolia, PR China. Strain 1-32T showed highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities to Pedobacter luteus N7d-4T (95.4 %), Pedobacter oryzae DSM 19973T (95.3 %), ‘Pedobacter xinjiangensis’ 12157T (95.2 %) and Pedobacter tournemirensis TF5-37.2-LB10T (95.1 %). Phylogenetic analyses clustered strain 1-32T with ‘P. xinjiangensis’ 12157T and P. tournemirensis TF5-37.2-LB10T. The DNA G+C content was 43.4 mol%. Menaquinone 7 was the main respiratory quinone. The predominant fatty acids (>5 %) were iso-C15 : 0, summed feature 3 (C16 : 1!6c and/or C16 : 1!7c), iso-C17 : 0 3-OH, iso-C15 : 0 T 3-OH and C16 : 1!5c. The polar lipids of strain 1-32 comprised phosphatidylethanolamine, two unidentified polar lipids, one unidentified glycolipid and two unidentified phospholipids. Strain 1-32T could be distinguished from the other members of the genus Pedobacter based on its phylogenetic distance and physiological and biochemical characteristics such as being negative for the assimilation of rhamnose and the activity of a-glucosidase. Therefore, strain 1-32T represents a novel species of the genus Pedobacter, for which the name Pedobacter mongoliensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is 1-32T (=KCTC 52859T =CCTCC AB 2017084T). Genus Pedobacter (family Sphingobacteriaceae, phylum Bac- searched in the EzTaxon-server [23] and in GenBank using teroidetes) was proposed by Steyn et al. in 1998 with Pedo- the BLAST program (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Blast.cgi), T bacter heparinus LMG 10399 as the species type strain [1], and aligned using CLUSTAL X [24].

Using the culturomics strategy to study the bacterial component of planarians, we isolated a new bacterial strain, Marseille-Q2390, which we characterized with the taxono-genomic approach that associates phenotypic assays and genome sequencing and analysis. Strain Marseille-Q2390 exhibited a 16S rRNA sequence similarity of 99.36% with Pedobacter kyungheensis strain THG-T17T, the closest phylogenetic neighbor. It is a white-pigmented, Gram-negative, and rod-shaped bacterium. It grows in aerobic conditions and belongs to the family Sphingobacteriaceae.

Precipitation and Particulate Matter Properties S1.1 Precipitation Categorization In this study, we have segregated our precipitation samples into four different categories, such as (1) snows, (2) hails/thunderstorms, (3) long-lasted rains, and (4) weak rains. For this categorization, we have considered both our observation-based as well as the disdrometer-assigned National Weather Service (NWS) 20 code. Initially, the precipitation samples had been assigned one of the four categories based on our manual observation. In the next step, we have used each NWS code and its occurrence in each precipitation sample to finalize the precipitation category. During this step, a precipitation sample was categorized into snow, only when we identified a snow type NWS code (Snow: S-, S, S+ and/or Snow Grains: SG). Likewise, a precipitation sample was categorized into hail/thunderstorm, only when the cumulative sum of NWS codes for hail was 25 counted more than five times (i.e., A + SP ≥ 5; where A and SP are the codes for soft hail and hail, respectively).

Despite the impressive ability of A. ant- arcticus to thrive in harsh Antarctic conditions, little is known about the biology of this species. In this study, we performed 16S rRNA gene sequencing to examine the microbiome of the fnal immature instar (tritonymph) and both male and female adults. The microbiome included a limited number of microbial classes and genera, with few diferences in community membership noted among the diferent stages. However, the abundances of taxa that composed the microbial community difered between adults and tritonymphs. Five classes—Actinobacteria, Flavobacteriia, Sphingobacteriia, Gammaproteobac- teria, and Betaproteobacteria—comprised ~ 82.0% of the microbial composition, and fve (identifed) genera—Dermacoccus, Pedobacter, Chryseobacterium, Pseudomonas, and Flavobacterium—accounted for ~ 68.0% of the total composition. The core microbiome present in all surveyed A. antarcticus was dominated by the families Flavobacteriaceae, Comamonadaceae, Sphingobacteriaceae, Chitinophagaceae and Cytophagaceae, but the majority of the core consisted of operational taxonomic units of low abundance.

Across the animal kingdom, including in gastropods, gut microbiomes have profound effects on the health of the host. Current knowledge regarding snail gut microbiomes, particularly throughout various life history stages, is limited. Understanding snail gut microbiome composition and dynamics can provide an initial step toward better conservation and management of this species. Results: In this study, we employed 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing to examine gut bacteria communities in wild-caught O. strigosa populations from the Front Range of Colorado. These included three treatment groups: (1) adult and (2) fetal snails, as well as (3) sub-populations of adult snails that were starved prior to ethanol fixation. Overall, O. strigosa harbors a high diversity of bacteria. We sequenced the V4 region of the 16S rRNA gene on an Illumina MiSeq and obtained 2,714,330 total reads. We identified a total of 7056 unique operational taxonomic units (OTUs) belonging to 36 phyla. The core gut microbiome of four unique OTUs accounts for roughly half of all sequencing reads returned and may aid the snails’ digestive processes. Significant differences in microbial composition, as well as richness, evenness, and Shannon Indices were found across the three treatment groups.

FLAVOBACTERIUM GLIDING MOTILITY: FROM PROTEIN SECRETION TO CELL SURFACE ADHESIN MOVEMENTS by Joseph J. Johnston A Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Biological Sciences at The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee August 2019 ABSTRACT FLAVOBACTERIUM GLIDING MOTILITY: FROM PROTEIN SECRETION TO CELL SURFACE ADHESIN MOVEMENTS by Joseph J. Johnston The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, 2019 Under the Supervision of Dr. Mark J. McBride Flavobacterium johnsoniae exhibits rapid gliding motility over surfaces. At least twenty genes are involved in this process. Seven of these, gldK, gldL, gldM, gldN, sprA, sprE, and sprT encode proteins of the type IX protein secretion system (T9SS). The T9SS is required for surface localization of the motility adhesins SprB and RemA, and for secretion of the soluble chitinase ChiA. This thesis demonstrates that the gliding motility proteins GldA, GldB, GldD, GldF, GldH, GldI and GldJ are also essential for secretion.

Morais 2CNC-Center for Neuroscience and Cell Biology, University of Coimbra, [email protected] 3004-517 Coimbra, Portugal 3Department of Life Sciences, FCTUC, University of Coimbra, 3004-517 Coimbra, Portugal Bacterial strain M47C3BT was isolated from the endophytic microbial community of a Pinus pinaster tree branch from a mixed grove of pines. Phylogenetic analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that this organism represented one distinct branch within the family Sphingobacteriaceae, most closely related to the genus Mucilaginibacter. Strain M47C3BT formed a distinct lineage, closely related to Mucilaginibacter dorajii KACC 14556T, with which it shared 97.2 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity. The other members of the genus Mucilaginibacter included in the same clade were Mucilaginibacter lappiensis ATCC BAA-1855T sharing 97.0 % similarity and Mucilaginibacter composti TR6-03T that had a lower similarity (95.7 %). The novel strain was Gram-staining-negative, formed rod-shaped cells, grew optimally at 26 6C and at pH 7, and was able to grow with up to 0.3 % (w/v) NaCl. The respiratory quinone was menaquinone 7 (MK-7) and the major fatty acids of the strain were summed feature 3 (C16 : 1v7c/iso-C15 : 0 2-OH), iso-C15 : 0 and iso-C17 : 0 3-OH, representing 73.5 % of the total fatty acids.
