    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).

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.

Actuellement, les performances sont limitées par l’utilisation de cathodes abiotiques. L’intérêt porté aux cathodes biologiques est récent et ces dernières sont encore peu étudiées. Les objectifs de ces recherches ont donc été d’identifier et de décrire des bactéries ainsi que les mécanismes permettant de catalyser une réduction cathodique notamment celle de l’oxygène. La première partie des travaux portant sur la réalisation d’un criblage pour la formation de biocathodes a révélé l’inefficacité du métabolisme hétérotrophe pour la conception de biocathodes performantes. De ce fait, la suite des travaux a porté sur la bactérie chimiolithoautotrophe acidophile Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans.

Singh1, Sonam Gaba1, Ajar N. Yadav1, Prakhar Gaur1, Sneha Gulati1, Rajeev Kaushik1 and Anil K. Saxena1,2* Abstract Arthrobacter agilis strain L77, is a plant growth promoting and cold active hydrolytic enzymes producing psychrotrophic bacterium, isolated from Pangong Lake, a subglacial lake in north western Himalayas, India. Genome analysis revealed metabolic versatility with genes involved in metabolism and cold shock adaptation, utilization and biosynthesis of diverse structural and storage polysaccharides such as plant based carbon polymers. The genome of Arthrobacter agilis strain L77 consists of 3,608,439 bp (3.60 Mb) of a circular chromosome. The genome comprises of 3316 protein coding genes and 74 RNA genes, 725 hypothetical proteins, 25 pseudo-genes and 1404 unique genes.

    UNIVERSITY OF NEVADA, RENO Dimensions of Antarctic microbial life revealed through microscopic, cultivation-based, molecular phylogenetic and environmental genomic characterization A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Biochemistry by Emanuele Kuhn Dr. Alison E. Murray/Dissertation Advisor May, 2014 Copyright by Emanuele Kuhn 2014 All Rights Reserved P age | i Abstract Extreme cold temperatures have shaped Antarctic environments and the life that lives within them. Microorganisms affiliated with the three domains of life - Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukaryote - can be found in Antarctic environments from deep subglacial lakes to dry deserts and from deep oceans to cold and dark winter surface seawaters. This dissertation focused on the investigation of the microbial assemblage in two Antarctic environments: Lake Vida, located in the McMurdo Dry Valleys, and the surface seawater from the Antarctic Peninsula. Lake Vida has a thick (27+ m) ice cover which seals a cryogenic brine reservoir within the lake ice below 16 m. This brine’s environment challenges the conditions for the existence of life. Despite the perceived challenges of aphotic, anoxic and freezing conditions, the brine contained an abundant assemblage (6.13 ± 1.65 × 10 7 cells mL -1) of ultra-small cells 0.192 ± 0.065 μm in diameter and a less abundant assemblage (1.47 ± 0.25 × 10 5 cells mL -1) of microbial cells ranging from > 0.2 to 1.5 μm in length. Scanning electron microscopy provided supporting evidence for cell membranes associated with the ~ 0.2 μm cells and helped discern a second smaller size class of particles (0.084 ± 0.063 μm).

Emphasis is given to intrageneric phylogeny and chemotaxonomic characteristics, concentrating on quinone systems, peptidoglycan compositions and polar lipid profiles. Internal groups within the genus Arthrobacter indicated from homogeneous chemotaxonomic traits and corresponding to phylogenetic grouping and/or high 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities are highlighted. Furthermore, polar lipid profiles and quinone systems of selected species are shown, filling some gaps concerning these chemotaxonomic traits. Based on phylogenetic groupings, 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities and homogeneity in peptidoglycan types, quinone systems and polar lipid profiles, a description of the genus Arthrobacter sensu lato and an emended description of Arthrobacter roseus are provided. Furthermore, reclassifications of selected species of the genus Arthrobacter into novel genera are proposed, namely Glutamicibacter gen. nov. (nine species), Paeniglutamicibacter gen. nov. (six species), Pseudoglutamicibacter gen. nov. (two species), Paenarthrobacter gen. nov. (six species) and Pseudarthrobacter gen.
