Maheshwari (Ed.)” Cover design: deblik, Berlin Printed on acid-free paper Springer is part of Springer Science+Business Media (www.springer.com) Preface Bacteria are among the most adaptable organisms. Their evolutional passage across the long timescale, extremely short generation time, and aptitude to adapt to diverse and often hostile environments, combined with the remarkable power of natural selection have made these microorganisms the most resilient of life forms on this planet. As such, bacteria and fungi abound in the soil are the essential contributors in maintaining the ecological balance. One of the most remarkable developments of the twentieth century vis-a`-vis microorganisms is the discovery of the plant growth promoting bacteria (PGPB) that offers a vast array of beneficial attributes to plants, and thereby facilitating enhancement of crop productivity in a sustainable manner. More than 97% of our food requirements are realized from terrestrial ecosystems through agricultural productivity. Diversified populations of bacterial species occur in agricultural fields and contribute to crop productivity directly or indirectly. Plants provide a substan- tial ecological niche for microorganisms and below ground (roots) portions of plants and soil are constantly associated with a larger number of microorganisms reaping several benefits from such associations. This volume is accordingly con- ceived to provide consolidated information on the subject. The book entitled Bacteria in Agrobiology: Crop Ecosystems has chapters that cover studies on various aspects of bacteria–plant interactions. Better understand- ings of the challenges in development of PGPB as efficient commercial bioinocu- lant have met in enhancing crop production. A large number of bacterial genera interplay with rhizosphere communities in different crops ecosystems, in particular, the oil-yielding crops, cereals, fruits and vegetables, forest trees, etc. Keeping in fitness with such important crops, the developmental challenges faced in the management of growth and soil and seed borne diseases associated with food crops such as rice, sesame, peanut, along with horticultural, sericultural plant ecosystems as well as in forestry are aptly covered in this volume. Detection of PGPR and biocontrol of postharvest pathogens as suitable alternatives to agro- chemicals for sustainable crop production and protection, and restoration of de- graded soils has also been duly addressed. I believe that this book will be useful not v vi Preface only for researchers, teachers, and students, but also for those who are interested in the subjects of applied microbiology, plant protection, ecology, environmental science, and agronomy. I would like to express my gratitude to all the authors for their scholarly contributions. I recognize with credit the continuous support that I received from my research students Mr. Abhinav Aeron, Mr. Rajat Khillon, Mr. Pankaj Kumar, and Dr. Sandeep Kumar in the preparation of this volume. I am also thankful to Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR), New Delhi; and Director, Uttarakhand Council of Science and Technology (UCOST), Dehradun, India for their support in implementation of my research projects on PGPB that served as a prolog to arrange base for compilation of this book. I extend my earnest apprecia- tion to Dr. Jutta Lindenborn of Springer for her valuable support to facilitate completion of the task. Haridwar, Uttarakhand, India Dinesh K.

  • Stable-Isotope Probing Implicates Methylophaga Spp and Novel Gammaproteobacteria in Marine Methanol and Methylamine Metabolism
    The ISME Journal (2007) 1, 480–491 & 2007 International Society for Microbial Ecology All rights reserved 1751-7362/07 $30.00 www.nature.com/ismej ORIGINAL ARTICLE Stable-isotope probing implicates Methylophaga spp and novel Gammaproteobacteria in marine methanol and methylamine metabolism Josh D Neufeld1, Hendrik Scha¨fer, Michael J Cox2, Rich Boden, Ian R McDonald3 and J Colin Murrell Department of Biological Sciences, University of Warwick, Coventry, UK The metabolism of one-carbon (C1) compounds in the marine environment affects global warming, seawater ecology and atmospheric chemistry. Despite their global significance, marine micro- organisms that consume C1 compounds in situ remain poorly characterized. Stable-isotope probing (SIP) is an ideal tool for linking the function and phylogeny of methylotrophic organisms by the metabolism and incorporation of stable-isotope-labelled substrates into nucleic acids. By combining DNA-SIP and time-series sampling, we characterized the organisms involved in the assimilation of methanol and methylamine in coastal sea water (Plymouth, UK). Labelled nucleic acids were analysed by denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) and clone libraries of 16S rRNA genes. In addition, we characterized the functional gene complement of labelled nucleic acids with an improved primer set targeting methanol dehydrogenase (mxaF) and newly designed primers for methylamine dehydrogenase (mauA). Predominant DGGE phylotypes, 16S rRNA, methanol and methylamine dehydrogenase gene sequences, and cultured isolates all implicated Methylophaga spp, moderately halophilic marine methylotrophs, in the consumption of both methanol and methylamine. Additionally, an mxaF sequence obtained from DNA extracted from sea water clustered with those detected in 13C-DNA, suggesting a predominance of Methylophaga spp among marine methylotrophs.

Supervisory Committee Mitigating biofouling on reverse osmosis membranes via greener preservatives by Anna Curtin Biology (BSc), Le Moyne College, 2017 Supervisory Committee Heather Buckley, Department of Civil Engineering Supervisor Caetano Dorea, Department of Civil Engineering, Civil Engineering Departmental Member ii Abstract Water scarcity is an issue faced across the globe that is only expected to worsen in the coming years. We are therefore in need of methods for treating non-traditional sources of water. One promising method is desalination of brackish and seawater via reverse osmosis (RO). RO, however, is limited by biofouling, which is the buildup of organisms at the water-membrane interface. Biofouling causes the RO membrane to clog over time, which increases the energy requirement of the system. Eventually, the RO membrane must be treated, which tends to damage the membrane, reducing its lifespan. Additionally, antifoulant chemicals have the potential to create antimicrobial resistance, especially if they remain undegraded in the concentrate water. Finally, the hazard of chemicals used to treat biofouling must be acknowledged because although unlikely, smaller molecules run the risk of passing through the membrane and negatively impacting humans and the environment.

  • Understanding the Impacts of Viruses on Microbial Methanol Utilisation in Seawater
    Understanding the impacts of viruses on microbial methanol utilisation in seawater Kevin Jamie Purves Doctor of Philosophy University of East Anglia, Norwich, UK School of Environmental Sciences In collaboration with Plymouth Marine Laboratory September 2019 This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with the author and that use of any information derived there from must be in accordance with current UK Copyright Law. In addition, any quotation or extract must include full attribution. Abstract Methylotrophs are bacteria which utilise methanol and other one-carbon compounds for assimilative (growth) and dissimilative (energy) metabolism. Methylotrophy has been demonstrated by a large proportion of marine bacteria, influencing carbon cycling and is a significant sink of methanol in the marine environment. Viruses are understood to considerably influence biogeochemical cycles in the oceans, however the extent to which they influence methylotrophs and methanol cycling has remained unclear. Virus-like particles associated with a methanol-utilising methylotroph were isolated to this end and characterised using electron microscopy, indicating morphologies resembling enveloped viruses. A comprehensive seasonal survey in the Western Channel Observatory (WCO) combined virus abundance data with a taxonomic investigation of the microbial community; environmental variables; plankton abundance; bacterial production data and methanol uptake rates. The latter ranged between 0.1 – 10.6 nmol L-1 h-1 throughout the water column in the WCO with little depth variation. Seasonal trends were also consistent throughout the water column, with the highest uptake rates occurring during winter months. For the first time, seasonal virus abundance data was also determined with methanol uptake rates and bacterial production and showed a significant negative correlation with rates of methanol dissimilation.
