Naxibacter alkalitolerans gen. nov., sp. nov., a novel member of the family 'Oxalobacteraceae' isolated from China.

A taxonomic study was performed on strain YIM 31775(T), which was isolated from a soil sample collected from Yunnan Province, China. The isolate was chemo-organotrophic, aerobic and Gram-negative. Cells were short rods and motile, with one or more polar flagella. Growth temperature and pH ranged from 4 to 55 degrees C and 6.5 to 12.0, respectively; the optimum growth temperature and pH were 28-37 degrees C and 7.0-9.0, respectively. Q-8 was the predominant respiratory lipoquinone. The major fatty acids were C(16 : 1)omega7c (42.4 %) and C(16 : 0) (28.1 %). The DNA G + C content was 62.4 +/ -0.3 mol%. Phylogenetic analysis based on the 16S rRNA gene sequence indicated that strain YIM 31775(T) should be placed within the family 'Oxalobacteraceae', in which it formed a distinct lineage. Based on the high 16S rRNA gene sequence divergence and phenotypic characteristics, it is proposed that strain YIM 31775(T) should be classified as representing a novel member of the family 'Oxalobacteraceae', for which the name Naxibacter alkalitolerans gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is YIM 31775(T) (= CCTCC AA 204003(T) = KCTC 12194(T)).

Herminiimonas aquatilis sp. nov., a new species from drinking water.

A bacterial strain (CCUG 36956T) isolated from drinking water was taxonomically studied in detail. Phylogenetic analyses using the 16S rRNA gene sequence of the isolate indicated that it belongs to family Oxalobacteraceae of the beta-subclass of the Proteobacteria, with the highest sequence similarity of 99.3% to the type strain of Herminiimonas fonticola. In the polyamine pattern putrescine and 2-hydroxyputrescine were the predominant compounds. In the polar lipid profile major compounds were phosphatidyl ethanolamine and diphosphatidyl glycerol. Phosphatidyl glycerol and an unknown phospholipid were detected in moderate proportions. The major respiratory quinone was a ubiquinone Q-8 and the major whole cell fatty acids were 16:1 omega7c, 17:1 omega6c, and 16:0. The strain also contained 10:0 3-OH and other fatty acids typical for members of the genus Herminiimonas. The results of DNA-DNA hybridizations and physiological and biochemical tests allowed genotypic and phenotypic differentiation of strain CCUG 36956T from H. fonticola. For this reason, we propose that strain CCUG 36956T represents a new species of the genus Herminiimonas for which we propose the name Herminiimonas aquatilis sp. nov.

Collimonas fungivorans gen. nov., sp. nov., a chitinolytic soil bacterium with the ability to grow on living fungal hyphae.

A polyphasic approach was used to describe the phylogenetic position of 22 chitinolytic bacterial isolates that were able to grow at the expense of intact, living hyphae of several soil fungi. These isolates, which were found in slightly acidic dune soils in the Netherlands, were strictly aerobic, Gram-negative rods. Cells grown in liquid cultures were flagellated and possessed pili. A wide range of sugars, alcohols, organic acids and amino acids could be metabolized, whereas several di- and trisaccharides could not be used as substrates. The major cellular fatty acids were C(16 : 0), C(16 : 1)omega7c and C(18 : 1)omega7c. DNA G+C contents were 57-62 mol%. Analysis of nearly full-length 16S rDNA sequences showed that the isolates were related closely to each other (>98.6 % sequence similarity) and could be assigned to the beta-Proteobacteria, family 'Oxalobacteraceae', order 'Burkholderiales'. The most closely related species belonged to the genera Herbaspirillum and Janthinobacterium, exhibiting 95.9-96.7 % (Herbaspirillum species) and 94.3-95.6 % (Janthinobacterium species) 16S rDNA sequence similarity to the isolates. Several physiological and biochemical properties indicated that the isolates could be distinguished clearly from both of these genera. Therefore, it is proposed that the isolates described in this study are representatives of a novel genus, Collimonas gen. nov. Genomic fingerprinting (BOX-PCR), detailed analysis of 16S rDNA patterns and physiological characterization (Biolog) of the isolates revealed the existence of four subclusters. The name Collimonas fungivorans gen. nov., sp. nov. has been given to one subcluster (four isolates) that appears to be in the centre of the novel genus; isolates in the other subclusters have been tentatively named Collimonas sp. The type strain of Collimonas fungivorans gen. nov., sp. nov. is Ter6(T) (=NCCB 100033(T)=LMG 21973(T)).

Herminiimonas arsenicoxydans sp. nov., a metalloresistant bacterium.

An arsenite-oxidizing bacterium, designated strain ULPAs1(T), was isolated from industrial sludge heavily contaminated with arsenic. Cells of this isolate were Gram-negative, curved rods, motile by means of a polar flagellum. The strain was positive for oxidase and catalase activities, was able to reduce nitrate to nitrite, used acetate, lactate and peptone as organic carbon sources under aerobic conditions and was able to oxidize arsenite (As[III]) to arsenate (As[V]). 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis and the absence of dodecanoic fatty acids suggested that this strain represents a member of the genus Herminiimonas of the family Oxalobacteraceae, order Burkholderiales in the Betaproteobacteria. Genomic DNA-DNA hybridization between strain ULPAs1(T) and Herminiimonas fonticola S-94(T) and between strain ULPAs1(T) and Herminiimonas aquatilis CCUG 36956(T) revealed levels of relatedness of <10 %, well below the recommended 70 % species cut-off value. Thus, strain ULPAs1(T) (=CCM 7303(T)=DSM 17148(T)=LMG 22961(T)) is the type strain of a novel species of Herminiimonas, for which the name Herminiimonas arsenicoxydans sp. nov. is proposed.

Minimizing decompression and warming during deep seawater collection increases abundance and activity of autochthonous bacteria and archaea.

The deep ocean hosts autochthonous pressure-adapted microorganisms that are unique to this environment, as well as allochthonous pressure-sensitive members transported from shallow depths by vertical advection and particle-sinking. However, conventional sampling instruments decompress and warm deep-sea samples during retrieval, potentially altering microbial properties when studied ex situ. Here, we assess this potential sampling bias by comparing seawater microbial communities collected with or without measures aimed at minimizing pressure and temperature effects. When compared to samples collected under pressurized conditions, conventional sampling (using Niskin bottles) was found to affect prokaryotic cells retrieved by reducing their total numbers, diminishing protein synthesis activity (>10%), and also causing overall shifts in the community composition. The most significant compositional change was a >20% decrease in metagenomic archaeal representation (TACK-group/Thaumarchaeota/Nitrososphaerota). Deep-sea bacterial groups had mixed responses to preserving pressure during retrieval, with some groups exhibiting higher representation when samples were maintained pressurized (e.g. members of the family Pelagibacteraceae, unclassified Thiotricales, Thioglobaceae, and Chitinophagaceae), whereas others increased their representation when decompressed (e.g. Burkholderiaceae, Comamonadaceae, and Oxalobacteraceae). This study reveals the existence of bias introduced by the complete decompression of samples retrieved with traditional instrumentation, as well as a decrease in overall bacterial activity when samples are completely decompressed during retrieval. Additionally, incubations lasting for >24 h were shown to transform the original prokaryotic community composition. Precautions addressing these effects are necessary to enhance the reliability of ex situ measurements and improve our understanding of deep-sea microbial ecology and biogeochemistry.

Identification of bacterial groups preferentially associated with mycorrhizal roots of Medicago truncatula.

The genetic structures of bacterial communities associated with Medicago truncatula Gaertn. cv. Jemalong line J5 (Myc+ Nod+) and its symbiosis-defective mutants TRV48 (Myc+ Nod-) and TRV25 (Myc- Nod-) were compared. Plants were cultivated in a fertile soil (Châteaurenard, France) and in soil from the Mediterranean basin showing a low fertility (Mas d'Imbert, France). Plant growth, root architecture, and the efficiency of root symbiosis of the three plant genotypes were characterized in the two soils. Structures of the bacterial communities were assessed by automated-ribosomal intergenic spacer analysis (A-RISA) fingerprinting from DNA extracted from the rhizosphere soil and root tissues. As expected, the TRV25 mutant did not develop endomycorrhizal symbiosis in any of the soils, whereas mycorrhization of line J5 and the TRV48 mutant occurred in both soils but at a higher intensity in the Mas d'Imbert (low fertility) than in the Châteaurenard soil. However, modifications of plant growth and root architecture, between mycorrhizal (J5 and TRV48) and nonmycorrhizal (TRV25) plants, were recorded only when cultivated in the Mas d'Imbert soil. Similarly, the genetic structures of bacterial communities associated with mycorrhizal and nonmycorrhizal plants differed significantly in the Mas d'Imbert soil but not in the Châteaurenard soil. Multivariate analysis of the patterns allowed the identification of molecular markers, explaining these differences, and markers were further sequenced. Molecular marker analysis allowed the delineation of 211 operational taxonomic units. Some of those belonging to the Comamonadaceae and Oxalobacteraceae (beta-Proteobacteria) families were found to be significantly more represented within bacterial communities associated with the J5 line and the TRV48 mutant than within those associated with the TRV25 mutant, indicating that these bacterial genera were preferentially associated with mycorrhizal roots in the Mas d'Imbert soil.

Succession of bacterial communities during early plant development: transition from seed to root and effect of compost amendment.

Compost amendments to soils and potting mixes are routinely applied to improve soil fertility and plant growth and health. These amendments, which contain high levels of organic matter and microbial cells, can influence microbial communities associated with plants grown in such soils. The purpose of this study was to follow the bacterial community compositions of seed and subsequent root surfaces in the presence and absence of compost in the potting mix. The bacterial community compositions of potting mixes, seed, and root surfaces sampled at three stages of plant growth were analyzed via general and newly developed Bacteroidetes-specific, PCR-denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis methodologies. These analyses revealed that seed surfaces were colonized primarily by populations detected in the initial potting mixes, many of which were not detected in subsequent root analyses. The most persistent bacterial populations detected in this study belonged to the genus Chryseobacterium (Bacteroidetes) and the family Oxalobacteraceae (Betaproteobacteria). The patterns of colonization by populations within these taxa differed significantly and may reflect differences in the physiology of these organisms. Overall, analyses of bacterial community composition revealed a surprising prevalence and diversity of Bacteroidetes in all treatments.

Evaluation of freeze-dried kefir coculture as starter in feta-type cheese production.

The use of freeze-dried kefir coculture as a starter in the production of feta-type cheese was investigated. Maturation of the produced cheese at 4 degrees C was monitored for up to 70 days, and the effects of the starter culture, the salting method, and the ripening process on quality characteristics were studied. The use of kefir coculture as a starter led to increased lactic acid concentrations and decreased pH values in the final product associated with significantly higher conversion rates compared to salted rennet cheese. Determination of bacterial diversity at the end of the ripening process in salted kefir and rennet cheeses by denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis technology, based on both DNA and RNA analyses, suggested a potential species-specific inhibition of members of the genera Staphylococcus and Psychrobacter by kefir coculture. The main active microbial associations in salted kefir cheese appeared to be members of the genera Pseudomonas and Lactococcus, while in salted rennet cheese, Oxalobacteraceae, Janthinobacterium, Psychrobacter, and Pseudomonas species were noted. The effect of the starter culture on the production of aroma-related compounds responsible for cheese flavor was also studied by the solid-phase microextraction-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry technique. Kefir coculture also appeared to extend the shelf life of unsalted cheese. Spoilage of kefir cheese was observed on the 9th and 20th days of preservation at 10 and 5 degrees C, respectively, while spoilage in the corresponding rennet cheese was detected on the 7th and 16th days. Microbial counts during preservation of both types of unsalted cheese increased steadily and reached similar levels, with the exception of staphylococci, which were significantly lower in unsalted kefir cheese. All types of cheese produced with kefir as a starter were approved and accepted by the panel during the preliminary sensory evaluation compared to commercial feta-type cheese.

Deciphering the Microbiome-Gut-Eye Axis: A Mendelian Randomization Analysis of the Causal Influence of Gut Microbiota on Myopia.

INTRODUCTION: The intricate relationship between the gut microbiome and myopia is increasingly recognized, underscoring the need to explore its causal dynamics. Despite emerging evidence, the influence of Gut Microbiota (GM) on ocular development remains underexplored. METHODS: This study utilized Mendelian Randomization (MR) to investigate the causal impact of GM on the development of myopia. Instrumental variables (IVs) were identified from Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS), focusing on genetic variants significantly associated with microbiome composition. A comprehensive array of MR techniques was applied to ensure a robust estimation of causal effects and to adjust for potential confounders and pleiotropy. RESULTS: The Inverse-Variance Weighted (IVW) method was used to identify significant associations between GM and myopia. Increased risk of myopia was linked to the class Betaproteobacteria (OR=1.01, 95% CI 1.004-1.017, P=0.003), the order Burkholderiales (OR=1.009, 95% CI 1.001-1.016, P=0.02), the family Oxalobacteraceae (OR=1.005, 95% CI 1.001-1.01, P=0.023), and several genera including Eubacterium xylanophilum group (OR=1.007, 95% CI 1.001-1.013, P=0.033), and Bifidobacterium (OR=1.005, 95% CI 1-1.01, P=0.038). Protective effects were noted for the order Mollicutes RF9 (OR=0.994, 95% CI 0.99-0.999, P=0.014), the genus Allisonella (OR=0.996, 95% CI 0.993-0.999, P=0.019), the genus Lachnospiraceae UCG001 (OR=0.994, 95% CI 0.989-1, P=0.045), and the family Enterobacteraceae (OR=0.991, 95% CI 0.982-1, P=0.047) and order Enterobacteriales (OR=0.991, 95% CI 0.982-1, P=0.047). Sensitivity analyses further confirmed the robustness of these findings. DISCUSSION: This study provides causal evidence for the "Microbiome-Gut-Eye Axis" in myopia development, identifying specific gut microbiota that influence myopia risk. These findings suggest potential for microbiota-targeted interventions, warranting further research in diverse populations. CONCLUSIONS: The findings support the "Microbiome-Gut-Eye Axis" as a potential factor in myopia pathogenesis and highlight microbiota-targeted interventions as novel therapeutic strategies for managing myopia. This study lays the groundwork for further research on how modifying GM can influence eye health and offers new perspectives on preventive health strategies.

[Study on biodiversity of type I & II polyketide synthesis genes positive microorganisms].

Some soil samples were collected from different places in Yunnan Provinces, China. 876 bacteria or actinomycete strains were isolated using Glucose-Peptone-Yeast extract agar, Starch-Casein agar and Glycerol-Asparagine agar with these soil samples, of which about 100 strains belong to genus Streptomyces and the others belong to rare actinomycetes or bacteria. With polyketide synthesis gene screening, 75 strains were picked up as type I & II polyketide synthesis gene positive strains. Then 10 strains were chosen for 16S rDNA amplification and systematic analysis based on comparing results with their anti-bacteria activity, morphology, and physiological characteristics analysis. They were classified to be at least 7 families and 8 genera, such as genus Streptomyces of the family Streptomycetaceae, two genera Streptosporangium and Nonomuraea of the family Streptosporangiaceae, genus Mycobacterium of the family Mycobacteriaceae, genus Nocardia of the family Nocardiaceae, genus Achromobacter of the family, another two strains belong to the suborder Micrococcineae and the family Oxalobacteraceae', respectively. Eight of them were classified into six potential novel species and two new genera with polyphasic taxonomic methods. The results showed that designing new strategies for isolation and identification of microorganisms from natural environments was the key step to exploit microbial resources.

Duganella hordei sp. nov., Duganella caerulea sp. nov., and Duganella rhizosphaerae sp. nov., isolated from barley rhizosphere.

Duganella sp. strains R1T, R57T, and R64T, isolated from barley roots in Japan, are Gram-stain-negative, motile, rod-shaped bacteria. Duganella species abundantly colonized barley roots. Strains R1T, R57T, and R64T were capable of growth at 4 °C, suggesting adaptation to colonize winter barley roots. Strains R57T and R64T formed purple colonies, indicating violacein production, while strain R1T did not. Based on 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities, strains R1T, R57T, and R64T were most closely related to D. violaceipulchra HSC-15S17T (99.10%), D. vulcania FT81WT (99.45%), and D. violaceipulchra HSC-15S17T (99.86%), respectively. Their genome sizes ranged from 7.05 to 7.38 Mbp, and their genomic G+C contents were 64.2-64.7%. The average nucleotide identity and digital DNA-DNA hybridization values between R1T and D. violaceipulchra HSC-15S17T, R57T and D. vulcania FT81WT, R64T and D. violaceipulchra HSC-15S17T were 86.0% and 33.2%, 95.7% and 67.9%, and 92.7% and 52.6%, respectively. Their fatty acids were predominantly composed of C16:0, C17:0 cyclo, and summed feature 3 (C16:1 ω7c and/or C16:1 ω6c). Based on their distinct genetic and phenotypic characteristics, and supported by chemotaxonomic analyses, we propose that strains R1T, R57T, and R64T represent novel species within the Duganella genus, for which the names Duganella hordei (type strain R1T = NBRC 115982 T = DSM 115069 T), Duganella caerulea (type strain R57T = NBRC 115983 T = DSM 115070 T), and Duganella rhizosphaerae (type strain R64T = NBRC 115984 T = DSM 115071 T) are proposed.

Herminiimonas fonticola gen. nov., sp. nov., a Betaproteobacterium isolated from a source of bottled mineral water.

Several yellowish-pigmented bacteria with an optimum growth temperature of about 30 degrees C, were recovered from the source (borehole) of bottled mineral water in the Serra da Estrela in Eastern Portugal. Phylogenetic analyses of the 16S rRNA gene sequence of strains S-94T , S-97, S-99 and S-92 indicated that these organisms represent a new species of the Betaproteobacteria that is not closely related to any other known species. The major fatty acids of the strains are 16:1 omega7c and 16:0. Ubiquinone 8 is the major respiratory quinone. The new isolates are strictly organotrophic and aerobic. The new strains only assimilated organic acids, glycine and alanine. Casamino acids and a mixture of all natural amino acids are not used as sole carbon and nitrogen sources; these are used as nitrogen source in the presence of organic acids. On the basis of the phylogenetic analyses, physiological and biochemical characteristics, we are of the opinion that strains S-94T, S-97, S-99 and S-92 represent a new species of a novel genus for which we propose the name Herminiimonas fonticola gen. nov., sp. nov.

Adaptation to extreme environments: macromolecular dynamics in bacteria compared in vivo by neutron scattering.

Mean macromolecular dynamics was quantified in vivo by neutron scattering in psychrophile, mesophile, thermophile and hyperthermophile bacteria. Root mean square atomic fluctuation amplitudes determining macromolecular flexibility were found to be similar for each organism at its physiological temperature ( approximately 1 A in the 0.1 ns timescale). Effective force constants determining the mean macromolecular resilience were found to increase with physiological temperature from 0.2 N/m for the psychrophiles, which grow at 4 degrees C, to 0.6 N/m for the hyperthermophiles (85 degrees C), indicating that the increase in stabilization free energy is dominated by enthalpic rather than entropic terms. Larger resilience allows macromolecular stability at high temperatures, while maintaining flexibility within acceptable limits for biological activity.

Phylogenetic analysis of bacterial communities associated with larvae of the Atlantic halibut propose succession from a uniform normal flora.

Halibut, the largest of all flatfishes is a valuable species with a great potential for aquaculture. Bacteria play an important role in regulating the health of the early life stages. The present article is the first broad-range molecular analysis of bacterial communities in larvae of the Atlantic halibut (Hippoglossus hippoglossus). DNA was extracted from larvae, water and silo biofilm from hatcheries in Norway, Scotland, Iceland and Canada. Eubacterial 16S rRNA gene fragments were amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) with broad-range primers. Sequences spanning the hyper variable V3 region representing individual bacterial species were separated into community profiles by denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE). The profiles revealed simple communities after hatching and bacterial succession following growth. Sequencing and phylogenetic analysis of excised DGGE bands suggested aerobic heterotrophs related to groups of Pseudomonas, Janthinobacterium and possibly Marinomonas to be the primary colonisers of the larvae. After onset of feeding, fermentative species (Vibrio) were detected as well. Comparative analysis of bacterial communities from different geographical regions indicated that larvae of the Atlantic halibut possess a distinct and specific normal flora.

Duganella violaceinigra sp. nov., a novel mesophilic bacterium isolated from forest soil.

A mesophilic bacterium, designated strain YIM 31327T, was isolated from a forest soil sample collected from Yunnan Province, China, and was then investigated using a polyphasic approach. The strain grew optimally at 28-30 degrees C and pH 7.2. The cells were Gram-negative, short, rod-shaped, motile and non-spore-forming with flagella. The major ubiquinone was Q-8 and the cellular fatty acids were C(16 : 0) and C(12 : 0). The DNA G + C content of strain YIM 31327T was 62.8 mol%. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that strain YIM 31327T was a member of the beta-Proteobacteria, being most closely related to Duganella zoogloeoides, with which it exhibited less than 96 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity. On the basis of the phenotypic and genotypic differences between strain YIM 31327T and D. zoogloeoides, a novel species, Duganella violaceinigra sp. nov., is proposed, with YIM 31327T (= CIP 108077T = KCTC 12193T) as the type strain.

Four Gram-negative, motile, rod-shaped bacterial strains were isolated from soil samples collected from south-east China. A taxonomic study including phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences and phenotypic characteristics was performed. DNA G+C contents of the four strains were 63-66 mol%. Their predominant ubiquinone was Q-8. The fatty acid profiles contained C16:1omega7c (36.9-54.7%) and C16:0 (22.8-25.5%) as the major components. Based on their phenotypic characteristics, phylogenetic position as determined by 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis and DNA-DNA hybridization results, the four isolates are considered to represent four novel species of the genus Massilia, for which the names Massilia dura sp. nov.
