[PMID: 35208867 PMCID: PMC8874975 DOI: 10.3390/microorganisms10020410] [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: 01/24/2022] [Revised: 02/06/2022] [Accepted: 02/08/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
A halophilic marine bacterial strain, PS-C1, was isolated from Sekinchan beach in Selangor, Malaysia. The 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis indicated that strain PS-C1 was associated with the genus Celeribacter. To date, there have been no reports on enzymes from the genus Celeribacter. The present study reports on the cellular features of Celeribacter sp. PS-C1, its annotated genome sequence, and comparative genome analyses of Celeribacter glycoside hydrolase (GH) enzymes. The genome of strain PS-C1 has a size of 3.87 Mbp and a G+C content of 59.10%, and contains 3739 protein-coding genes. Detailed analysis using the Carbohydrate-Active enZYmes (CAZy) database revealed that Celeribacter genomes harboured at least 12 putative genes encoding industrially important GHs that are grouped as cellulases, β-glucanases, hemicellulases, and starch-degrading enzymes. Herein, the potential applications of these enzymes are discussed. Furthermore, the activities of two types of GHs (β-glucosidase and licheninase) in strain PS-C1 were demonstrated. These findings suggest that strain PS-C1 could be a reservoir of novel GH enzymes for lignocellulosic biomass degradation.

Abstract
A Gram-negative, aerobic, non-flagellated and rod-shaped bacterium, strain ASW11-22T, was isolated from an intertidal sediment collected from a coastal area of Qingdao, PR China. The strain grew at 15-40 °C (optimum, 37 °C), at pH 6.0-9.0 (optimum, pH 7.0) and with 0.5-10 % (w/v) NaCl (optimum, 1.0 %). It hydrolysed gelatin and aesculin but did not reduce nitrate to nitrite. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strain ASW11-22T belonged to the genus Celeribacter, showing the highest sequence similarity to the type strains of Celeribacter halophilus MCCC 1A06432T (98.20 %) and Celeribacter ethanolicus NH195T (97.84 %). The genomic DNA G+C content was 59.1 mol%. The major cellular fatty acid (>10 %) of the strain was summed feature 8 (C18 : 1 ω7c and/or C18 : 1 ω6c) and its main polar lipids were phosphatidylglycerol and one unidentified aminolipid. The sole respiratory quinone of strain ASW11-22T was ubiquinone-10. On the basis of the polyphasic evidence presented in this paper, strain ASW11-22T represents a novel Celeribacter species, for which the name Celeribacter litoreus sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is ASW11-22T (=KCTC 82495T=MCCC 1K05584T).

Abstract
A Gram-stain-negative, cream-pigmented, aerobic, non-motile, non-spore-forming and short-rod-shaped bacterial strain, designated CAU 1123T, was isolated from mud from reclaimed land. The strain's taxonomic position was investigated by using a polyphasic approach. Strain CAU 1123T grew optimally at 37 °C and at pH 7.5 in the presence of 2 % (w/v) NaCl. Phylogenetic analysis based on the 16S rRNA gene sequence revealed that strain CAU 1123T formed a monophyletic lineage within the family Rhodobacteraceae with 93.8 % or lower sequence similarity to representatives of the genera Rubrimonas, Oceanicella, Pleomorphobacterium, Rhodovulum and Albimonas. The major fatty acids were C18 : 1 ω7c and 11-methyl C18 : 1 ω7c and the predominant respiratory quinone was Q-10. The polar lipids were phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, two unidentified phospholipids, one unidentified aminolipid and one unidentified lipid. The DNA G+C content was 71.1 mol%. Based on the data from phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and phylogenetic studies, it is proposed that strain CAU 1123T represents a novel genus and novel species of the family Rhodobacteraceae, for which the name Limibaculumhalophilum gen. nov., sp. nov. The type strain is CAU 1123T (=KCTC 52187T, =NBRC 112522T).

Abstract
A Gram-stain-negative, aerobic and moderately halophilic bacterium, designated strain EMB201T, was isolated from tidal flat sediment of the South Sea in Korea. Cells were motile rods with a single polar flagellum and had catalase- and oxidase-positive activities. Growth of strain EMB201T was observed at 15–37 °C (optimum, 30 °C), at pH 5.0–9.5 (optimum, pH 7.0–7.5) and in the presence of 1–7 % (w/v) NaCl (optimum, 2–3 %). Strain EMB201T contained ubiquinone-10 as the sole isoprenoid quinone and summed feature 8 (comprising C18 : 1ω7c/ω6c), C18 : 0ω7c 11-methyl and C10 : 0 3-OH as the major fatty acids. Phosphatidylglycerol and an unidentified amino lipid were identified as the major polar lipids and an unidentified phospholipid and three unidentified lipids were detected as minor components. The G+C content of the genomic DNA was approximately 58.4 mol%. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain EMB201T formed a phylogenetic lineage with members of the genus Celeribacter. Strain EMB201T was related most closely to Celeribacter halophilus ZXM137T with a 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity of 98.3 %, and the level of DNA–DNA relatedness between the two strains was 17.0 ± 2.0 %. The combined chemotaxonomic and molecular properties suggest that strain EMB201T represents a novel species of the genus Celeribacter, for which the name Celeribacter naphthalenivorans sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is EMB201T ( = KACC 18393T = JCM 30679T).

Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that the novel strain was most closely related to Celeribacter halophilus ZXM137T with 96.13% sequence similarity, and had 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities in the range 93.89-95.87% with other species of the genus Celeribacter. The dominant fatty acids were summed feature 8 (C18:1ω7c and/or C18:1ω6c) and C16:0. The polar lipids of strain DY2-5T comprised phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylcholine and two unknown aminolipids. The major respiratory quinone was ubiquinone-10 (Q-10). The DNA G+C content of strain DY2-5T was 64.8 mol%. On the basis of the phenotypic, genotypic and physiological evidence, strain DY2-5T represents a novel species of the genus Celeribacter, for which the name Celeribacter manganoxidans sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is DY2-5T ( = JCM 19384T = KCTC 32473T).

Abstract
The biodegradation of proteins in seawater requires various proteases which are commonly thought to be mainly derived from heterotrophic bacteria. We, however, found that protists showed a high protease activity and continuously produced trypsin-type enzymes. The free-living marine heterotrophic ciliate Paranophrys marina together with an associated bacterium was isolated and used for microcosm incubation with different concentrations of killed bacteria as food for 10 days. The results showed that the co-existence of the ciliate with its associated bacterium produced a significant protease activity in both cell-associated and cell-free fractions while that in the associated bacterium only microcosm was negligible. The protease profiles are different between cell-associated and cell-free fractions, and a trypsin-type enzyme hydrolyzing Boc-Val-Leu-Lys-MCA was detected throughout the period in the presence of ciliates. This suggests that ciliates release proteases into the surrounding environment which could play a role in protein digestion outside cells. It has been previously suggested that bacteria are the major transformers in seawater. We here present additional data which indicates that protists, or at least ciliates with their specific enzymes, are a potential player in organic matter degradation in water columns.

Abstract
Marine microbes play a key role and contribute largely to the global biogeochemical cycles. This study aims to explore microbial diversity from one such ecological hotspot, the continental shelf of Agatti Island. Sediment samples from various depths of the continental shelf were analyzed for bacterial diversity using deep sequencing technology along with the culturable approach. Additionally, imputed metagenomic approach was carried out to understand the functional aspects of microbial community especially for microbial genes important in nutrient uptake, survival and biogeochemical cycling in the marine environment. Using culturable approach, 28 bacterial strains representing 9 genera were isolated from various depths of continental shelf. The microbial community structure throughout the samples was dominated by phylum Proteobacteria and harbored various bacterioplanktons as well. Significant differences were observed in bacterial diversity within a short region of the continental shelf (1-40 meters) i.e. between upper continental shelf samples (UCS) with lesser depths (i.e. 1-20 meters) and lower continental shelf samples (LCS) with greater depths (i.e. 25-40 meters). By using imputed metagenomic approach, this study also discusses several adaptive mechanisms which enable microbes to survive in nutritionally deprived conditions, and also help to understand the influence of nutrition availability on bacterial diversity.

Abstract
A novel Gram-negative, non-spore forming, rod-shaped aerobic bacterium, designated SSW136(T), was isolated from a surface seawater sample collected at Espalamaca (in Faial Island), Azores. Growth was found to occur from 10 to 37 °C, pH 6.0-8.0, and with 2-11 % of NaCl. 16S rRNA gene sequence indicated that the strain SSW136(T) belongs to the family Rhodobacteraceae. Strain SSW136(T) exhibited 96.3, 95.9, 95.7 and 95.5 sequence similarity to the type strains Oceanicola litoreus M-M22(T), Roseovarius aestuarii SMK-122(T), Marivita geojedonensis DPG-138(T), and Pseudoruegeria aquimaris SW-255(T) respectively. Neighbour-joining and maximum-parsimony phylogenetic trees based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strain SSW136(T) was affiliated to the family Rhodobacteraceae and formed a separate branch. The G+C content was 63.5 mol%. The major respiratory quinone was found to be Q-10. The polar lipids of strain SSW136(T) consisted of phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, two unidentified aminolipids and three unidentified phospholipids. The major fatty acids were C18:1 ω7c (46.5 %), Cyclo-C19:0 ω8c (16.0 %) and C16:0 (12.8 %). On the basis of the morphological, genotypic, chemotaxonomic characteristics and low DNA-DNA relatedness, strain SSW136(T) is proposed to represent a novel genus and novel species, Nioella nitratireducens gen. nov., sp. nov., in the family Rhodobacteraceae. The type strain is SSW136(T) (=KCTC 32417(T) = NCIM 5499(T)).

Abstract
A taxonomic study was carried out on strain P73T, which was isolated from deep-sea sediment of the Indian Ocean by enrichment of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. The strain was able to degrade biphenyl, naphthalene, 2-methylnaphthalene, 2,6-dimethylnaphthalene, acenaphthene, anthracene, phenanthrene, dibenzothiophene, dibenzofuran, fluorene, 4-methyldibenzothiophene and fluoranthene, but not pyrene or chrysene. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain P73T formed a clade with the genera
Celeribacter
and
Huaishuia
within the family
Rhodobacteraceae
, with highest sequence similarity of 96.98 % to
Celeribacter neptunius
H 14T, followed by
Huaishuia halophila
ZXM137T (96.42 %). The bacterium was Gram-stain-negative, oxidase- and catalase-positive, rod-shaped and non-motile. Growth was observed at salinities from 0.5 to 12 % and at temperatures from 10 to 41 °C. The principal fatty acids (>10 %) of strain P73T were summed feature 8 (C18 : 1ω7c/ω6c) and C19 : 0ω8c cyclo. The sole respiratory quinone was Q-10. The major lipids were phosphatidylglycerol, one unknown aminolipid, one unknown phospholipid and one unknown lipid; a second unknown phospholipid and one unknown glycolipid were present as minor components. The G+C content of the chromosomal DNA was 66.0 mol%. The combined genotypic and phenotypic data show that strain P73T represents a novel species of the genus
Celeribacter
, for which the name Celeribacter indicus sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is P73T ( = MCCC 1A01112T = LMG 27600T = DSM 27257T). Phylogenetic study and existing phenotypic information also show that
Huaishuia halophila
should be transferred to the genus
Celeribacter
as Celeribacter halophilus comb. nov. (type strain ZXM137T = MCCC 1A06432T = CGMCC 1.8891T = LMG 24854T).
