Abstract
Soil salinity is a worldwide problem threatening crop yields. Some plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) could survive in high salt environment and assist plant adaptation to stress. Nevertheless, the genomic and metabolic features, as well as the regulatory mechanisms promoting salt tolerance in plants by these bacteria remain largely unknown. In the current work, a novel halotolerant PGPR strain, namely, Bacillus sp. strain RA can enhance tomato tolerance to salt stress. Comparative genomic analysis of strain RA with its closely related species indicated a high level of evolutionary plasticity exhibited by strain-specific genes and evolutionary constraints driven by purifying selection, which facilitated its genomic adaptation to salt-affected soils. The transcriptome further showed that strain RA could tolerate salt stress by balancing energy metabolism via the reprogramming of biosynthetic pathways. Plants exude a plethora of metabolites that can strongly influence plant fitness. The accumulation of myo-inositol in leaves under salt stress was observed, leading to the promotion of plant growth triggered by Bacillus sp. strain RA. Importantly, myo-inositol serves as a selective force in the assembly of the phyllosphere microbiome and the recruitment of plant-beneficial species. It promotes destabilizing properties in phyllosphere bacterial co-occurrence networks, but not in fungal networks. Furthermore, interdomain interactions between bacteria and fungi were strengthened by myo-inositol in response to salt stress. This work highlights the genetic adaptation of RA to salt-affected soils and its ability to impact phyllosphere microorganisms through the adjustment of myo-inositol metabolites, thereby imparting enduring resistance against salt stress in tomato.

Mechanisms on salt tolerant of Paenibacillus polymyxa SC2 and its growth-promoting effects on maize seedlings under saline conditions. Microbiol Res 2024; 282:127639. [PMID: 38354626 DOI: 10.1016/j.micres.2024.127639] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/05/2023] [Revised: 02/05/2024] [Accepted: 02/05/2024] [Indexed: 02/16/2024]
Abstract
Soil salinity negatively affects microbial communities, soil fertility, and agricultural productivity and has become a major agricultural problem worldwide. Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) with salt tolerance can benefit plant growth under saline conditions and diminish the negative effects of salt stress on plants. In this study, we aimed to understand the salt-tolerance mechanism of Paenibacillus polymyxa at the genetic and metabolic levels and elucidate the mechanism of strain SC2 in promoting maize growth under saline conditions. Under salt stress, we found that strain SC2 promoted maize seedling growth, which was accompanied by a significant upregulation of genes encoding for the biosynthesis of peptidoglycan, polysaccharide, and fatty acid, the metabolism of purine and pyrimidine, and the transport of osmoprotectants such as trehalose, glycine betaine, and K+ in strain SC2. To further enhance the salt resistance of strain SC2, three mutants (SC2-11, SC2-13, and SC2-14) with higher capacities for salt resistance and exopolysaccharide synthesis were obtained via atmospheric and room-temperature plasma mutagenesis. In saline-alkaline soil, the mutants showed better promoting effect on maize seedlings than wild-type SC2. The fresh weight of maize seedlings was increased by 68.10% after treatment with SC2-11 compared with that of the control group. The transcriptome analysis of maize roots demonstrated that SC2 and SC2-11 could induce the upregulation of genes related to the plant hormone signal transduction, starch and sucrose metabolism, reactive oxygen species scavenging, and auxin and ethylene signaling under saline-alkaline stress. In addition, various transcription factors, such as zinc finger proteins, ethylene-responsive-element-binding protein, WRKY, myeloblastosis proteins, basic helix-loop-helix proteins, and NAC proteins, were up-regulated in response to abiotic stress. Moreover, the microbial community composition of maize rhizosphere soil after inoculating with strain SC2 was varied from the one after inoculating with mutant SC2-11. Our results provide new insights into the various genes involved in the salt resistance of strain SC2 and a theoretical basis for utilizing P. polymyxa in saline-alkaline environments.

BIORESOUR BIOPROCESS 2023; 10:82. [PMID: 38647906 PMCID: PMC10992980 DOI: 10.1186/s40643-023-00704-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/25/2023] [Accepted: 10/31/2023] [Indexed: 04/25/2024] Open
Abstract
Different microorganisms can produce different proteases, which can adapt to different industrial requirements such as pH, temperature, and pressure. Salt-tolerant proteases (STPs) from microorganisms exhibit higher salt tolerance, wider adaptability, and more efficient catalytic ability under extreme conditions compared to conventional proteases. These unique enzymes hold great promise for applications in various industries including food, medicine, environmental protection, agriculture, detergents, dyes, and others. Scientific studies on microbial-derived STPs have been widely reported, but there has been little systematic review of microbial-derived STPs and their application in high-salt conventional soybean fermentable foods. This review presents the STP-producing microbial species and their selection methods, and summarizes and analyzes the salt tolerance mechanisms of the microorganisms. It also outlines various techniques for the isolation and purification of STPs from microorganisms and discusses the salt tolerance mechanisms of STPs. Furthermore, this review demonstrates the contribution of modern biotechnology in the screening of novel microbial-derived STPs and their improvement in salt tolerance. It highlights the potential applications and commercial value of salt-tolerant microorganisms and STPs in high-salt traditional soy fermented foods. The review ends with concluding remarks on the challenges and future directions for microbial-derived STPs. This review provides valuable insights into the separation, purification, performance enhancement, and application of microbial-derived STPs in traditional fermented foods.

Abstract
Soil salinization is a serious environmental problem that affects agricultural productivity and sustainability worldwide. Organic amendments have been considered a practical approach for reclaiming salt-affected soils. In addition to improving soil physical and chemical properties, organic amendments have been found to promote the build-up of new halotolerant bacterial species and microbial diversity, which plays a critical role in maintaining soil health, carbon dynamics, crop productivity, and ecosystem functioning. Many reported studies have indicated the development of soil microbial diversity in organic amendments amended soil. But they have reported only the development of microbial diversity and their identification. This review article provides a comprehensive summary of the current knowledge on the use of different organic amendments for the reclamation of salt-affected soils, focusing on their effects on soil properties, microbial processes and species, development of soil microbial diversity, and microbial processes to tolerate salinity levels and their strategies to cope with it. It also discusses the factors affecting the microbial species developments, adaptation and survival, and carbon dynamics. This review is based on the concept of whether addition of specific organic amendment can promote specific halotolerant microbe species, and if it is, then which amendment is responsible for each microbial species' development and factors responsible for their survival in saline environments.

Genome analysis of a halophilic Virgibacillus halodenitrificans ASH15 revealed salt adaptation, plant growth promotion, and isoprenoid biosynthetic machinery. Front Microbiol 2023; 14:1229955.

Abstract
Globally, due to widespread dispersion, intraspecific diversity, and crucial ecological components of halophilic ecosystems, halophilic bacteria is considered one of the key models for ecological, adaptative, and biotechnological applications research in saline environments. With this aim, the present study was to enlighten the plant growth-promoting features and investigate the systematic genome of a halophilic bacteria, Virgibacillus halodenitrificans ASH15, through single-molecule real-time (SMRT) sequencing technology. Results showed that strain ASH15 could survive in high salinity up to 25% (w/v) NaCl concentration and express plant growth-promoting traits such as nitrogen fixation, plant growth hormones, and hydrolytic enzymes, which sustain salt stress. The results of pot experiment revealed that strain ASH15 significantly enhanced sugarcane plant growth (root shoot length and weight) under salt stress conditions. Moreover, the sequencing analysis of the strain ASH15 genome exhibited that this strain contained a circular chromosome of 3,832,903 bp with an average G+C content of 37.54%: 3721 predicted protein-coding sequences (CDSs), 24 rRNA genes, and 62 tRNA genes. Genome analysis revealed that the genes related to the synthesis and transport of compatible solutes (glycine, betaine, ectoine, hydroxyectoine, and glutamate) confirm salt stress as well as heavy metal resistance. Furthermore, functional annotation showed that the strain ASH15 encodes genes for root colonization, biofilm formation, phytohormone IAA production, nitrogen fixation, phosphate metabolism, and siderophore production, which are beneficial for plant growth promotion. Strain ASH15 also has a gene resistance to antibiotics and pathogens. In addition, analysis also revealed that the genome strain ASH15 has insertion sequences and CRISPRs, which suggest its ability to acquire new genes through horizontal gene transfer and acquire immunity to the attack of viruses. This work provides knowledge of the mechanism through which V. halodenitrificans ASH15 tolerates salt stress. Deep genome analysis, identified MVA pathway involved in biosynthesis of isoprenoids, more precisely "Squalene." Squalene has various applications, such as an antioxidant, anti-cancer agent, anti-aging agent, hemopreventive agent, anti-bacterial agent, adjuvant for vaccines and drug carriers, and detoxifier. Our findings indicated that strain ASH15 has enormous potential in industries such as in agriculture, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and food.

Synthesizing glycine betaine via choline oxidation pathway as an osmoprotectant strategy in Haloferacales. Gene 2022; 847:146886.

Abstract
The accumulation of organic compatible solutes, such as glycine betaine, is one of the osmoprotective strategies used by halophilic archaea to adapt to high salinity. The uptake of glycine betaine from the external environment using various transporters has been widely studied in different halophilic archaea. However, the de novo biosynthesis of glycine betaine and its distribution in halophilic archaea remain unclear. In this study, an extremely halophilic archaea strain, named Halorubrum sp. 2020YC2 and previously isolated from a salt-lake sample, was identified with complete choline oxidation pathway genes. Halorubrum sp. 2020YC2 could synthesize and accumulate 1.56-4.25 μmol per mg of protein of glycine betaine in a defined medium, with its content increasing along with increasing salinity. The intracellular content of glycine betaine remained relatively stable at different salinities when another exogenous solute such as trehalose was provided. The metabolic profile and transcriptional results strongly suggested that the intracellular glycine betaine was derived from serine, which came from the glycolytic intermediate 3-phosphoglycerate when glucose was used as the sole carbon source. Out of 205 available genomes of halophilic archaea, genes encoding the choline oxidation pathway were identified in 30 genomes, and more than half of the strains belonging to order Haloferacales contained the choline oxidation pathway. Phylogenetic analysis further indicated that this pathway evolved from halophilic Proteobacteria, and its absence in some genera indicated a possible gene loss event during evolution. The analysis of reported culture data of halophilic archaea strains eventually demonstrated that the presence of the choline oxidation pathway had no significant effects on the adaptation of Haloferacales to high salinity habitats. Therefore, the de novo biosynthesis of glycine betaine via the choline oxidation pathway could be an auxiliary osmoprotective strategy in halophilic archaea.

Abstract
An osmoprotectant that alleviates the bacterial osmotic stress can improve the bioreactor treatment of saline wastewater. However, proposed candidates are expensive, and osmoprotectants of anammox bacteria and their ecophysiological roles are not fully understood. In this study, a comparative analysis of 34 high-quality public metagenome-assembled genomes from anammox bacteria revealed two distinct groups of osmoadaptation. Candidatus Scalindua and Kuenenia share a close phylogenomic relation and osmoadaptation gene profile and have pathways for glutamate transport and metabolisms for enhanced osmoadaptation. The batch assay results demonstrated that the reduced Ca. Kuenenia activity in saline conditions was substantially alleviated with the addition and subsequent synergistic effects of potassium and glutamate. The operational test of two reactors demonstrated that the reduced anammox performance under brine conditions rapidly recovered by 35.7-43.1% as a result of glutamate treatment. The Ca. Kuenenia 16S rRNA and hydrazine gene expressions were upregulated significantly (p < 0.05), and the abundance increased by approximately 19.9%, with a decrease in dominant heterotrophs. These data demonstrated the effectiveness of glutamate in alleviating the osmotic stress of Ca. Kuenenia. This study provides genomic insight into group-specific osmoadaptation of anammox bacteria and can facilitate the precision management of anammox reactors under high salinity.

Abstract
Soil salinity is one of the major global issues affecting soil quality and agricultural productivity. The plant growth-promoting halophilic bacteria that can thrive in regions of high salt (NaCl) concentration have the ability to promote the growth of plants in salty environments. In this study, attempts have been made to understand the salinity adaptation of plant growth-promoting moderately halophilic bacteria Chromohalobacter salexigens ANJ207 at the genetic level through transcriptome analysis. In order to identify the stress-responsive genes, the transcriptome sequencing of C. salexigens ANJ207 under different salt concentrations was carried out. Among the 8,936 transcripts obtained, 93 were upregulated while 1,149 were downregulated when the NaCl concentration was increased from 5 to 10%. At 10% NaCl concentration, genes coding for lactate dehydrogenase, catalase, and OsmC-like protein were upregulated. On the other hand, when salinity was increased from 10 to 25%, 1,954 genes were upregulated, while 1,287 were downregulated. At 25% NaCl, genes coding for PNPase, potassium transporter, aconitase, excinuclease subunit ABC, and transposase were found to be upregulated. The quantitative real-time PCR analysis showed an increase in the transcript of genes related to the biosynthesis of glycine betaine coline genes (gbcA, gbcB, and L-pro) and in the transcript of genes related to the uptake of glycine betaine (OpuAC, OpuAA, and OpuAB). The transcription of the genes involved in the biosynthesis of L-hydroxyproline (proD and proS) and one stress response proteolysis gene for periplasmic membrane stress sensing (serP) were also found to be increased. The presence of genes for various compatible solutes and their increase in expression at the high salt concentration indicated that a coordinated contribution by various compatible solutes might be responsible for salinity adaptation in ANJ207. The investigation provides new insights into the functional roles of various genes involved in salt stress tolerance and oxidative stress tolerance produced by high salt concentration in ANJ207 and further support the notion regarding the utilization of bacterium and their gene(s) in ameliorating salinity problem in agriculture.

Bacteria Halotolerant from Karst Sinkholes as a Source of Biosurfactants and Bioemulsifiers. Microorganisms 2022; 10:microorganisms10071264. [PMID: 35888984 PMCID: PMC9319531 DOI: 10.3390/microorganisms10071264] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/27/2022] [Revised: 06/12/2022] [Accepted: 06/16/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Halotolerant bacteria with biosurfactant (BS) and bioemulsifiers (BE) activity can coexist in Karstic sinkholes with marine influence. Two sinkholes in the Yucatan peninsula were selected to isolate bacteria with BE and BS activity stable in NaCl. The optimal time, the effect of nitrogen and carbon source in the medium, and the conditions (agitation, pH and salinity) for the production of BS and BE compounds in planktonic and sessile (stimulate the formation of biofilms in cell roller) culture were determined. Eighty strains showed the highest emulsification activity (EI24 ≥ 50%) and drop-collapse ≥ 4 mm. 87% of the strains are moderately halotolerant, and 21% bordered the limit of extreme halotolerance. Twenty-four strains maintained or improved their BS and BE activity under salinity conditions at 5% and 10%, being the most active genera Bacillus, Paenibacillus and Lysinibacillus, identified by sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene. The results show that the nitrogen source positively affects the BS and BE activity, regardless of the type of culture. The sessile culture markedly stimulated BS activity with significant differences. However, we did not find a greater influence on the culture conditions. The results suggest that halotolerant bacteria from sinkholes could be implemented in bioremediation and other biotechnological applications.

Genomic Insights into Omega-3 Polyunsaturated Fatty Acid Producing Shewanella sp. N2AIL from Fish Gut. BIOLOGY 2022; 11:biology11050632. [PMID: 35625360 PMCID: PMC9138089 DOI: 10.3390/biology11050632] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/23/2022] [Revised: 04/09/2022] [Accepted: 04/12/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
The genus Shewanella is widely distributed in niches ranging from an aquatic environment to spoiled fish and is loaded with various ecologically and commercially important metabolites. Bacterial species under this genus find application in bioelectricity generation and bioremediation due to their capability to use pollutants as the terminal electron acceptor and could produce health-beneficial omega-3 fatty acids, particularly eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA). Here, the genome sequence of an EPA-producing bacterium, Shewanella sp. N2AIL, isolated from the gastrointestinal tract of Tilapia fish, is reported. The genome size of the strain was 4.8 Mb with a GC content of 46.3% containing 4385 protein-coding genes. Taxonogenomic analysis assigned this strain to the genus Shewanella on the basis of average nucleotide identity (ANI) and in silico DNA-DNA hybridization (DDH), phylogenetically most closely related with S. baltica NCTC 10735T. The comparative genome analysis with the type strain of S. baltica revealed 693 unique genes in the strain N2AIL, highlighting the variation at the strain level. The genes associated with stress adaptation, secondary metabolite production, antibiotic resistance, and metal reduction were identified in the genome suggesting the potential of the bacterium to be explored as an industrially important strain. PUFA synthase gene cluster of size ~20.5 kb comprising all the essential domains for EPA biosynthesis arranged in five ORFs was also identified in the strain N2AIL. The study provides genomic insights into the diverse genes of Shewanella sp. N2AIL, which is particularly involved in adaptation strategies and prospecting secondary metabolite potential, specifically the biosynthesis of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids.

Abstract
Bauxite residue is the alkaline byproduct generated during alumina extraction and is commonly landfilled in open-air deposits. The growth in global alumina production have raised environmental concerns about these deposits since no large-scale reuses exist to date. Microbial-driven techniques including bioremediation and critical metal bio-recovery are now considered sustainable and cost-effective methods to revalorize bauxite residues. However, the establishment of microbial communities and their active role in these strategies are still poorly understood. We thus determined the geochemical composition of different bauxite residues produced in southern France and explored the development of bacterial and fungal communities using Illumina high-throughput sequencing. Physicochemical parameters were influenced differently by the deposit age and the bauxite origin. Taxonomical analysis revealed an early-stage microbial community dominated by haloalkaliphilic microorganisms and strongly influenced by chemical gradients. Microbial richness, diversity and network complexity increased significantly with the deposit age, reaching an equilibrium community composition similar to typical soils after decades of natural weathering. Our results suggested that salinity, pH, and toxic metals affected the bacterial community structure, while fungal community composition showed no clear correlations with chemical variations.

Abstract
An experiment was conducted to evaluate the role of bacterial secondary metabolites against induced salt stress. Five bacterial strains were isolated from three different habitats: Khewra salt range, oily sludge field in Chakwal, and garden soil of Quaid-i-Azam University Islamabad, Pakistan. The 16S rRNA gene and BLAST analysis of bacterial strains showed 99% sequence similarity with Pseudomonas putida AMUPP-2 (KM435273), Lysinibacillus sphaericus OUG29GKBB (KM972671), Bacillus pumilus MB431 (KP723538) isolated from salt range, Pseudomonas fluorescens B8 (KF010368) from garden soil and Exiguobacterium aurantiacum SPD2 (KX121703) from oily sludge, respectively. Pseudomonas fluorescens produced 294.98 µg/g of proline in the M9 medium supplemented with 125 mM NaCl, but its growth rate was decreased from 1.81 to 0.37. The P. putida showed faster growth rate even than control at 125 mM NaCl. B. pumilus and L. sphaericus did not show any decline in growth rate up to 100 mM NaCl. The synthesis of new amino acids were recorded at 125 mM NaCl stress, e.g., Pro, Leu, Arg in P. fluorescens and L. sphaericus, Pro, Lys, Phe, Ala in P. putida, Lys, Ala in B. pumilus, Met, Val, and Ala in E. aurantiacum. Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis of ethyl acetate extract of P. putida and L. sphaericus demonstrated that NaCl (125mM) induced the production of 3-oxo-C12 homoserine lactone, oxosteroids, and steroid esters in addition to steroidal alkaloid lysophosphatidylcholines, antibiotics phenazine-1 carboxamide, 2,4-diacetyl phloroglucinol, carbazole, phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidyl ethanol amine, and salicylic acid as signaling compound. It was concluded that P. putida and L. sphaericus could be exploited for the production of secondary metabolites that have a wide range of implications in biotic and abiotic stresses and for the production of important pharmaceutical products.

Abstract
Background Soil salinity has been one of the biggest hurdles in achieving better crop yield and quality. Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) are the symbiotic heterogeneous bacteria that play an important role in the recycling of plant nutrients through phytostimulation and phytoremediation. In this study, bacterial isolates were isolated from salt-polluted soil of Jhajjar and Panipat districts of Haryana, India. The potential salt-tolerant bacteria were screened for their PGPR activities such as phosphate solubilization, hydrogen cyanide (HCN), indole acetic acid (IAA) and ammonia production. The molecular characterization of potent isolates with salt tolerance and PGPR activity was done by 16S rDNA sequencing. Results Eighteen soil samples from saline soils of Haryana state were screened for salt-tolerant bacteria. The bacterial isolates were analyzed for salt tolerance ranging from 2 to 10%. Thirteen isolates were found salt tolerant at varied salt concentrations. Isolates HB6P2 and HB6J2 showed maximum tolerance to salts at 10% followed by HB4A1, HB4N3 and HB8P1. All the salt-tolerant bacterial isolates showed HCN production with maximum production by HB6J2. Phosphate solubilization was demonstrated by three isolates viz., HB4N3, HB6P2 and HB6J2. IAA production was maximum in HB4A1 (15.89) and HB6P2 (14.01) and least in HB4N3 (8.91). Ammonia production was maximum in HB6P2 (12.3) and least in HB8P1 (6.2). Three isolates HB6J2, HB8P1 and HB4N3 with significant salt tolerance, and PGPR ability were identified through sequencing of amplified 16SrRNA gene and were found to be Bacillus paramycoides, Bacillus amyloliquefaciens and Bacillus pumilus, respectively. Conclusions The salt-tolerant plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) isolated from saline soil can be used to overcome the detrimental effects of salt stress on plants, with beneficial effects of physiological functions of plants such as growth and yield, and overcome disease resistance. Therefore, application of microbial inoculants to alleviate stresses and enhance yield in plants could be a low cost and environmental friendly option for the management of saline soil for better crop productivity.

Abstract
Background Halophiles offer an attractive source of genes conferring salt tolerance. Halobacillus trueperi SS1 strain of Lunsu, Himachal Pradesh, India, a strict halophile, was exploited to isolate and clone the genes for salt tolerance. The genomic library of BamH1 digest of H. trueperi SS1 was constructed in pUC19, and recombinants were screened for salt tolerance on an LB medium containing ampicillin (100 μg/ml) and NaCl (0 to 1.5 M). Results One recombinant clone named as salt-tolerant clone (STC) conferred salt tolerance to host Escherichia coli/DH5α, which showed growth in the LB medium supplemented with ampicillin and 1.2 M NaCl. Restriction digestion and PCR analysis revealed the presence of an insert of approximately 2000 bp in the STC. DNA sequencing of the 2-kb insert on both strands yielded a sequence of 2301 nucleotides. Protein BLAST analysis of 2301-bp sequence of H. trueperi SS1 present in STC showed 97% identity to multidrug transport ATP binding/permease protein of Halobacillus karajensis. The insert contained in STC was subcloned into pGEX4T2 vector, and the recombinant clone STC/pGEX4T2 conferred salt tolerance to the bacterial host E. coli. Conclusions The present study led to the isolation of salt tolerance gene encoding a putative multidrug transport ATP binding/permease protein from H. trueperi SS1. The salt tolerance gene can be subcloned for transferring salt tolerance traits into agricultural crop plants for cultivation in saline and coastal lands.

Abstract
Propionibacterium freudenreichii is a beneficial bacterium widely used in food as a probiotic and as a cheese-ripening starter. In these different applications, it is produced, dried, and stored before being used. Both freeze-drying and spray-drying were considered for this purpose. Freeze-drying is a discontinuous process that is energy-consuming but that allows high cell survival. Spray-drying is a continuous process that is more energy-efficient but that can lead to massive bacterial death related to heat, osmotic, and oxidative stresses. We have shown that P. freudenreichii cultivated in hyperconcentrated rich media can be spray-dried with limited bacterial death. However, the general stress tolerance conferred by this hyperosmotic constraint remained a black box. In this study, we modulated P. freudenreichii growth conditions and monitored both osmoprotectant accumulation and stress tolerance acquisition. Changing the ratio between the carbohydrates provided and non-protein nitrogen during growth under osmotic constraint modulated osmoprotectant accumulation. This, in turn, was correlated with P. freudenreichii tolerance towards different stresses, on the one hand, and towards freeze-drying and spray-drying, on the other. Surprisingly, trehalose accumulation correlated with spray-drying survival and glycine betaine accumulation with freeze-drying. This first report showing the ability to modulate the trehalose/GB ratio in osmoprotectants accumulated by a probiotic bacterium opens new perspectives for the optimization of probiotics production.

Abstract
ABSTRACT
The Gram-negative Shewanella bacterial genus currently includes about 70 species of mostly aquatic γ-proteobacteria, which were isolated around the globe in a multitude of environments such as surface freshwater and the deepest marine trenches. Their survival in such a wide range of ecological niches is due to their impressive physiological and respiratory versatility. Some strains are among the organisms with the highest number of respiratory systems, depending on a complex and rich metabolic network. Implicated in the recycling of organic and inorganic matter, they are important components of organism-rich oxic/anoxic interfaces, but they also belong to the microflora of a broad group of eukaryotes from metazoans to green algae. Examples of long-term biological interactions like mutualism or pathogeny have been described, although molecular determinants of such symbioses are still poorly understood. Some of these bacteria are key organisms for various biotechnological applications, especially the bioremediation of hydrocarbons and metallic pollutants. The natural ability of these prokaryotes to thrive and detoxify deleterious compounds explains their use in wastewater treatment, their use in energy generation by microbial fuel cells and their importance for resilience of aquatic ecosystems.

Abstract
The group Nitriliruptoria, recently classified as a separate class of phylum Actinobacteria, has five members at present, which belong to halophilic or halotolerant Actinobacteria. Here, we sequenced the genomes of Egicoccus halophilus EGI 80432T and Egibacter rhizosphaerae EGI 80759T, and performed a comparative genomics approach to analyze the genomic differences and salt adaptation mechanisms in Nitriliruptoria. Phylogenetic analysis suggested that Euzebya tangerina F10T has a closer phylogenetic relationship to Euzebya rosea DSW09T, while genomic analysis revealed highest genomic similarity with Nitriliruptor alkaliphilus ANL-iso2T and E. halophilus EGI 80432T. Genomic differences of Nitriliruptoria were mainly observed in genome size, gene contents, and the amounts of gene in per functional categories. Furthermore, our analysis also revealed that Nitriliruptoria possess similar synthesis systems of solutes, such as trehalose, glutamine, glutamate, and proline. On the other hand, each member of Nitriliruptoria species possesses specific mechanisms, K+ influx and efflux, betaine and ectoine synthesis, and compatible solutes transport to survive in various high-salt environments.

Abstract
Propionibacterium freudenreichii is a beneficial bacterium, used both as a probiotic and as a cheese starter. Large-scale production of P. freudenreichii is required to meet growing consumers’ demand. Production, drying and storage must be optimized, in order to guarantee high P.freudenreichii viability within powders. Compared to freeze-drying, spray drying constitutes the most productive and efficient, yet the most stressful process, imposing severe oxidative and thermal constraints. The aim of our study was to provide the tools in order to optimize the industrial production of dry P.freudenreichii. Bacterial adaptation is a well-known protective mechanism and may be used to improve bacterial tolerance towards technological stresses. However, the choice of bacterial adaptation type must consider industrial constraints. In this study, we combined (i) modulation of the growth medium composition, (ii) heat-adaptation, and (iii) osmoadaptation, in order to increase P.freudenreichii tolerance towards technological stresses, including thermal and oxidative constraints, using an experimental design. We further investigated optimal growth and adaptation conditions, by monitoring intracellular compatible solutes accumulation. Glucose addition, coupled to heat-adaptation, triggered accumulation of trehalose and of glycine betaine, which further provided high tolerance towards spray drying and storage. This work opens new perspectives for high quality and fast production of live propionibacteria at the industrial scale.

Abstract
Fluctuations in environmental osmolarity are ubiquitous stress factors in many natural habitats of microorganisms, as they inevitably trigger osmotically instigated fluxes of water across the semi-permeable cytoplasmic membrane. Under hyperosmotic conditions, many microorganisms fend off the detrimental effects of water efflux and the ensuing dehydration of the cytoplasm and drop in turgor through the accumulation of a restricted class of organic osmolytes, the compatible solutes. Ectoine and its derivative 5-hydroxyectoine are prominent members of these compounds and are synthesized widely by members of the Bacteria and a few Archaea and Eukarya in response to high salinity/osmolarity and/or growth temperature extremes. Ectoines have excellent function-preserving properties, attributes that have led to their description as chemical chaperones and fostered the development of an industrial-scale biotechnological production process for their exploitation in biotechnology, skin care, and medicine. We review, here, the current knowledge on the biochemistry of the ectoine/hydroxyectoine biosynthetic enzymes and the available crystal structures of some of them, explore the genetics of the underlying biosynthetic genes and their transcriptional regulation, and present an extensive phylogenomic analysis of the ectoine/hydroxyectoine biosynthetic genes. In addition, we address the biochemistry, phylogenomics, and genetic regulation for the alternative use of ectoines as nutrients.
