Abstract
Pseudomonas mandelii SW-3, isolated from the Napahai plateau wetland, can survive in cold environments. The mechanisms underlying the survival of bacteria in low temperatures and high altitudes are not yet fully understood. In this study, the whole genome of SW-3 was sequenced to identify the genomic features that may contribute to survival in cold environments. The results showed that the genome size of strain SW-3 was 6,538,059 bp with a GC content of 59%. A total of 67 tRNAs, a 34,110 bp prophage sequence, and a large number of metabolic genes were found. Based on 16S rRNA gene phylogeny and average nucleotide identity analysis among P. mandelii, SW-3 was identified as a strain belonging to P. mandelii. In addition, we clarified the mechanisms by which SW-3 survived in a cold environment, providing a basis for further investigation of host-phage interaction. P. mandelii SW-3 showed stress resistance mechanisms, including glycogen and trehalose metabolic pathways, and antisense transcriptional silencing. Furthermore, cold shock proteins and glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase may play pivotal roles in facilitating adaptation to cold environmental conditions. The genome-wide analysis provided us with a deeper understanding of the cold-adapted bacterium.

Abstract
Due to their ability to produce isomaltulose, sucrose isomerases are enzymes that have caught the attention of researchers and entrepreneurs since the 1950s. However, their low activity and stability at temperatures above 40 °C have been a bottleneck for their industrial application. Specifically, the instability of these enzymes has been a challenge when it comes to their use for the synthesis and manufacturing of chemicals on a practical scale. This is because industrial processes often require biocatalysts that can withstand harsh reaction conditions, like high temperatures. Since the 1980s, there have been significant advancements in the thermal stabilization engineering of enzymes. Based on the literature from the past few decades and the latest achievements in protein engineering, this article systematically describes the strategies used to enhance the thermal stability of sucrose isomerases. Additionally, from a theoretical perspective, we discuss other potential mechanisms that could be used for this purpose.

Abstract
Polysaccharides are natural chemical compounds that are extensively employed in the food and pharmaceutical industries. They exhibit a wide range of physical and biological properties. These properties are commonly improved by using chemical and physical methods. However, with the advancement of biotechnology and increased demand for green, clean, and safe products, polysaccharide modification via microbial fermentation has gained importance in improving their physicochemical and biological activities. The physicochemical and structural characteristics, biological activity, and modification mechanisms of microbially fermented polysaccharides were reviewed and summarized in this study. Polysaccharide modifications were categorized and discussed in terms of strains and fermentation techniques. The effects of microbial fermentation on the physicochemical characteristics of polysaccharides were highlighted. The impact of modification of polysaccharides on their antioxidant, immune, hypoglycemic, and other activities, as well as probiotic digestive enhancement, were also discussed. Finally, we investigated a potential enzyme-based process for polysaccharide modification via microbial fermentation. Modification of polysaccharides via microbial fermentation has significant value and application potential.

Abstract
Microbial communities of wetlands play key roles in the earth's ecology and stability. To elucidate the cold adaptation mechanisms of bacteria in plateau wetlands, we conducted comparative genomic analyses of Pseudomonas sivasensis and closely related lineages. The genome of P. sivasensis W-6, a cold-adapted bacterium isolated from the Napahai plateau wetland, was sequenced and analyzed. The genome length was 6,109,123 bp with a G+C content of 59.5%. Gene prediction yielded 5360 protein-coding sequences, 70 tRNAs, 24 gene islands, and 2 CRISPR sequences. The isolate contained evidence of horizontal gene transfer events during its evolution. Two prophages were predicted and indicated that W-6 was a lysogen. The cold adaptation of the W-6 strain showed psychrophilic rather than psychrotrophic characteristics. Cold-adapted bacterium W-6 can utilize glycogen and trehalose as resources, associated with carbohydrate-active enzymes, and survive in a low-temperature environment. In addition, the cold-adapted mechanisms of the W-6 included membrane fluidity by changing the unsaturated fatty acid profile, the two-component regulatory systems, anti-sense transcription, the role played by rpsU genes in the translation process, etc. The genome-wide analysis of W-6 provided a deeper understanding of cold-adapted strategies of bacteria in environments. We elucidated the adaptive mechanism of the psychrophilic W-6 strain for survival in a cold environment, which provided a basis for further study on host-phage coevolution.

Abstract
Ethnic tribals in northeast India have been growing and maintaining local chili landraces for ages. These chilies are known for their characteristic pungency and immense therapeutic properties. Capsaicin, a significant chili metabolite, is recognized as a natural drug for pain relief, diabetic neuropathy, psoriasis, arthritis, etc. In this study, we tried to observe the influence of locality factors on the pungency and bioactive features of Capsicum annuum L. landraces. We also checked the gastro-protective ability of these chilies, especially in the cure of shigellosis. Phytometabolite characterization and estimation were done through spectrophotometric methods. Preparative and analytical HPLC techniques were employed for extracting and purifying capsaicin-enriched fractions. Shigella flexneri growth retardation was determined through the broth dilution method. Gentamicin protection assay and ELISA were done to assess the intracellular invasion and IL-1β inflammasome production by S.flexneri. The correlation analyses postulated that phenols, flavonoids, chlorophylls, β-carotene, and capsaicin synthase upregulation strongly influenced capsaicin biosynthesis in chili cultivars. Correspondingly, the inhibitory efficacy of the HPLC-purified Balijuri-derived capsaicin was more effective than the Raja-derived capsaicin in inhibiting intracellular Shigella growth. Reduced levels of pro-inflammatory cytokine (IL1β) in capsaicin-treated Shigella-infected cells probably reduced inflammation-mediated intestinal damage, limiting bacterial spread. This investigation advocates the unique potential of local chilies in curing deadly 'shigellosis' with mechanistic evidence. Our observation justifies the traditional healing practices of the ethnic people of NE India.

Abstract
This study reports the complete genome sequence of Subtercola sp. PAMC28395, a strain isolated from cryoconite in Uganda. This strain possesses several active carbohydrate-active enzyme (CAZyme) genes involved in glycogen and trehalose metabolism. Additionally, two specific genes associated with α-galactosidase (GH36) and bacterial alpha-1,2-mannosidase (GH92) were identified in this strain. The presence of these genes indicates the likelihood that they can be expressed, enabling the strain to break down specific polysaccharides derived from plants or the shells of nearby crabs. The authors performed a comparative analysis of CAZyme patterns and biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) in several Subtercola strains and provided annotations describing the unique characteristics of these strains. The comparative analysis of BGCs revealed that four strains, including PAMC28395, have oligosaccharide BGCs, and we confirmed that the pentose phosphate pathway was configured perfectly in the genome of PAMC28395, which may be associated with adaptation to low temperatures. Additionally, all strains contained antibiotic resistance genes, indicating a complex self-resistance system. These results suggest that PAMC28395 can adapt quickly to the cold environment and produce energy autonomously. This study provides valuable information on novel functional enzymes, particularly CAZymes, that operate at low temperatures and can be used for biotechnological applications and fundamental research purposes.

Abstract
Although four Shigella species (S. flexneri, S. sonnei, S. dysenteriae, and S. boydii) have been reported, S. sp. PAMC 28760, an Antarctica isolate, is the only one with a complete genome deposited in NCBI database as an uncharacterized isolate. Because it is the world’s driest, windiest, and coldest continent, Antarctica provides an unfavourable environment for microorganisms. Computational analysis of genomic sequences of four Shigella species and our uncategorized Antarctica isolates Shigella sp. PAMC28760 was performed using MP3 (offline version) program to predict trehalase encoding genes as a pathogenic or non-pathogenic form. Additionally, we employed RAST and Prokka (offline version) annotation programs to determine locations of periplasmic (treA) and cytoplasmic (treF) trehalase genes in studied genomes. Our results showed that only 56 out of 134 Shigella strains had two different trehalase genes (treF and treA). It was revealed that the treF gene tends to be prevalent in Shigella species. In addition, both treA and treF genes were present in our strain S. sp. PAMC28760. The main objective of this study was to predict the prevalence of two different trehalase genes (treF and treA) in the complete genome of Shigella sp. PAMC28760 and other complete genomes of Shigella species. Till date, it is the first study to show that two types of trehalase genes are involved in Shigella species, which could offer insight on how the bacteria use accessible carbohydrate like glucose produced from the trehalose degradation pathway, and importance of periplasmic trehalase involvement in bacterial virulence.

Abstract
Lichens are mutually symbiotic systems consisting of fungal and algal symbionts. While diverse lichen-forming fungal species are known, limited species of algae form lichens. Plasticity in the combination of fungal and algal species with different eco-physiological properties may contribute to the worldwide distribution of lichens, even in extreme habitats. Lichens have been studied systematically for more than 200 years; however, plasticity in fungal-algal/cyanobacterial symbiotic combinations is still unclear. In addition, the association between non-cyanobacterial bacteria and lichens has attracted attention in recent years. The types, diversity, and functions of lichen-associated bacteria have been studied using both culture-based and culture-independent methods. This review summarizes the history of systematic research on lichens and lichen-associated bacteria and provides insights into the current status of research in this field.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The genus Microbacterium belongs to the family Microbacteriaceae and phylum Actinobacteria. A detailed study on the complete genome and systematic comparative analysis of carbohydrate-active enzyme (CAZyme) among the Microbacterium species would add knowledge on metabolic and environmental adaptation. Here we present the comparative genomic analysis of CAZyme using the complete genome of Antarctic Microbacterium sp. PAMC28756 with other complete genomes of 31 Microbacterium species available. OBJECTIVE The genomic and CAZyme comparison of Microbacterium species and to rule out the specific features of CAZyme for the environmental and metabolic adaptation. METHODS Bacterial source were collected from NCBI database, CAZyme annotation of Microbacterium species was analyzed using dbCAN2 Meta server. Cluster of orthologous groups (COGs) analysis was performed using the eggNOG4.5 database. Whereas, KEGG database was used to compare and obtained the functional genome annotation information in carbohydrate metabolism and glyoxylate cycle. RESULTS Out of 32 complete genomes of Microbacterium species, strain No. 7 isolated from Activated Sludge showed the largest genomic size at 4.83 Mb. The genomic size of PAMC28756 isolated from Antarctic lichen species Stereocaulons was 3.54 Mb, the G + C content was 70.4% with 3,407 predicted genes, of which 3.36% were predicted CAZyme. In addition, while comparing the Glyoxylate cycle among 32 bacteria, except 10 strains, all other, including our strain have Glyoxylate pathway. PAMC28756 contained the genes that degrade cellulose, hemicellulose, amylase, pectinase, chitins and other exo-and endo glycosidases. Utilizing these polysaccharides can provides source of energy in an extreme environment. In addition, PAMC28756 assigned the (10.15%) genes in the carbohydrate transport and metabolism functional group closely related to the CAZyme for polysaccharides degradation. CONCLUSIONS The genomic content and CAZymes distribution was varied in Microbacterium species. There was the presence of more than 10% genes in the carbohydrate transport and metabolism functional group closely related to the CAZyme for polysaccharides degradation. In addition, occurrence of glyoxylate cycle for alternative utilization of carbon sources suggest the adaptation of PAMC28756 in the harsh microenvironment.

Abstract
There are a large number of active cold-adapted microorganisms in the perennial cold environment. Due to their high-efficiency and energy-saving catalytic properties, cold-adapted microorganisms have become valuable natural resources with potential in various biological fields. In this study, a series of cold response strategies for microorganisms were summarized. This mainly involves the regulation of cell membrane fluidity, synthesis of cold adaptation proteins, regulators and metabolic changes, energy supply, and reactive oxygen species. Also, the potential of biocatalysts produced by cold-adapted microorganisms including cold-active enzymes, ice-binding proteins, polyhydroxyalkanoates, and surfactants was introduced, which provided a guidance for expanding its application values. Overall, new insights were obtained on response strategies of microorganisms to cold environments in this review. This will deepen the understanding of the cold tolerance mechanism of cold-adapted microorganisms, thus promoting the establishment and application of low-temperature biotechnology.

[PMID: 34078272 PMCID: PMC8171050 DOI: 10.1186/s12864-021-07734-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/30/2020] [Accepted: 05/07/2021] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The Arthrobacter group is a known set of bacteria from cold regions, the species of which are highly likely to play diverse roles at low temperatures. However, their survival mechanisms in cold regions such as Antarctica are not yet fully understood. In this study, we compared the genomes of 16 strains within the Arthrobacter group, including strain PAMC25564, to identify genomic features that help it to survive in the cold environment. RESULTS Using 16 S rRNA sequence analysis, we found and identified a species of Arthrobacter isolated from cryoconite. We designated it as strain PAMC25564 and elucidated its complete genome sequence. The genome of PAMC25564 is composed of a circular chromosome of 4,170,970 bp with a GC content of 66.74 % and is predicted to include 3,829 genes of which 3,613 are protein coding, 147 are pseudogenes, 15 are rRNA coding, and 51 are tRNA coding. In addition, we provide insight into the redundancy of the genes using comparative genomics and suggest that PAMC25564 has glycogen and trehalose metabolism pathways (biosynthesis and degradation) associated with carbohydrate active enzyme (CAZymes). We also explain how the PAMC26654 produces energy in an extreme environment, wherein it utilizes polysaccharide or carbohydrate degradation as a source of energy. The genetic pattern analysis of CAZymes in cold-adapted bacteria can help to determine how they adapt and survive in such environments. CONCLUSIONS We have characterized the complete Arthrobacter sp. PAMC25564 genome and used comparative analysis to provide insight into the redundancy of its CAZymes for potential cold adaptation. This provides a foundation to understanding how the Arthrobacter strain produces energy in an extreme environment, which is by way of CAZymes, consistent with reports on the use of these specialized enzymes in cold environments. Knowledge of glycogen metabolism and cold adaptation mechanisms in Arthrobacter species may promote in-depth research and subsequent application in low-temperature biotechnology.

Complete genome sequencing of Bacillus sp. TK-2, analysis of its cold evolution adaptability. Sci Rep 2021; 11:4836. [PMID: 33649356 PMCID: PMC7921382 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-021-84286-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/01/2020] [Accepted: 02/15/2021] [Indexed: 12/23/2022] Open
Abstract
To date, a large number of Bacillus species from different sources have been identified. However, there are few investigations on genome information and evolutionary insights of Bacillus species from cold environments. Bacillus sp. TK-2, isolated from the soil of Changbai Mountain, is a gram-positive bacterium with cold adaptation characteristics. In this study, we present the annotated complete genome sequence of Bacillus sp. TK-2. The genome comprised 5,286,177 bp with a GC content of 35.88%, 5293 protein-encoding genes, 32 rRNA, and 77 tRNA. Numerous genes related to cold adaptation were detected in the genome of Bacillus sp. TK-2, mainly involving in energy supply, regulation of cell membrane fluidity, antioxidant, and molecular chaperones. In addition, the strain TK-2 classified in the Bacillus groups was distributed on a terminal branch with Bacillus cereus A1 by Blastn and phylogenetic analysis in NCBI database. Complete genome sequences of the strain TK-2 and Bacillus cereus A1 were compared by the online tool "Average Nucleotide Identity", showing that the average nucleotide identity of these two strains was 98.26%. In parallel, A comparative analysis of the genomes of both Bacillus sp. TK-2 and Bacillus cereus A1 was conducted. Through the analysis of core and specific genes with cd-hit, it was found that the two strains had 5691 pan gene, 4524 core gene, and 1167 specific gene clusters. Among the 624 specific gene clusters of Bacillus sp. TK-2, some cold tolerance genes were detected, which implied the unique adaptability of Bacillus sp. TK-2 in long-term low temperature environments. Importantly, enzyme-encoding genes related to the degradation of polysaccharides such as cellulose and hemicellulose were detected in the 477 CAZyme genes of this genome. This work on sequencing and bioinformatics analysis of the complete sequence of Bacillus sp. TK-2 promote the application and in-depth research of low-temperature biotechnology.
