Auxin production and plant growth promotion by Microbacterium albopurpureum sp. nov. from the rhizoplane of leafless Chiloschista parishii Seidenf. orchid. FRONTIERS IN PLANT SCIENCE 2024; 15:1360828. [PMID: 38559760 PMCID: PMC10978784 DOI: 10.3389/fpls.2024.1360828] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/24/2023] [Accepted: 02/14/2024] [Indexed: 04/04/2024]
Abstract
The strains of the genus Microbacterium, with more than 150 species, inhabit diverse environments; plant-associated bacteria reveal their plant growth-promoting activities due to a number of beneficial characteristics. Through the performance of diverse techniques and methods, including isolation of a novel Microbacterium strain from the aerial roots of leafless epiphytic orchid, Chiloschista parishii Seidenf., its morphological and biochemical characterization, chemotaxonomy, phylogenetic and genome analysis, as well as bioassays and estimation of its auxin production capacity, a novel strain of ET2T is described. Despite that it shared 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity of 99.79% with Microbacterium kunmingense JXJ CY 27-2T, so they formed a monophyletic group on phylogenetic trees, the two strains showed clear divergence of their genome sequences. The average nucleotide identity (ANI), average amino acid identity (AAI) and digital DNA-DNA hybridization (dDDH) values of ET2T differed greatly from phylogenetically close JXJ CY 27-2T. Based on the differences being below the threshold for species similarity, together with the unique chemotaxonomic characteristics, strain ET2T represents a novel species of the genus Microbacterium. Several genes, putatively involved in auxin biosynthesis were predicted. This strain revealed obvious plant growth-promoting activities, including diazotrophy and biosynthesis of tryptophan-dependent auxins (indole-3-acetic and indole-3-pyruvic acids). Microbial auxins directly stimulated the rhizogenesis, so that the ET2T-inoculated seeds of wheat, cucumber and garden cress showed evident promotion in their growth and development, both under optimal and under cold stress conditions. Based on phenotypic, chemotypic and genotypic evidences, the strain ET2T belongs to the genus Microbacterium, order Micrococcales, class Actinomycetes, and it represents a novel species, for which the name Microbacterium albopurpureum sp. nov. is proposed, with strain ET2T (VKPM Ac-2212, VKM Ас-2998) as the type strain.

Abstract
Soda lakes are naturally occurring ecosystems characterized by extreme environmental conditions especially high pH and salinity levels but harboring valuable microbial communities with medical and biotechnological potentials. Lake Natron is one of the soda lakes situated in eastern branch of the East African Gregory Rift valley, Tanzania. In this study, the taxonomy and phylogenetic diversity of Actinomycetota species were explored in Lake Natron using molecular techniques. The sequencing of their 16S rRNA gene resulted into 13 genera of phylum Actinomycetota namely Streptomyces, Microbacterium, Nocardiopsis, Gordonia, Dietzia, Micromonospora, Microcella, Pseudarthrobacter, Nocardioides, Actinotalea, Cellulomonas, Isoptericola, and Glutamicibacter. We describe for the first time, the isolation of Streptomyces lasalocidi, S. harbinensis, S. anthocyanicus, Microbacterium aureliae, Pseudarthrobacter sp., Nocardioides sp. and Glutamicibacter mishrai from soda lake habitats. It also reports for the first time, the isolation of Gordonia spp., Microcella sp. and Actinotalea sp. from an East African Soda Lake as well as isolation of S. pseudogriseolus, S. calidiresistens and Micromonospora spp. from a Tanzania soda lake. Furthermore, two putative novel species of the phylum Actinomycetota were identified. Given that Actinomycetota are known potential sources of important biotechnological compounds, we recommend the broadening of the scope of bioprospection in future to include the novel species from Lake Natron.

Abstract
Two novel plant growth-promoting, rod-shaped, Gram-positive and non-motile rhizobacteria, W1NT and W2RT, were isolated from wetland plants Festuca elata and Nymphoides peltatum, respectively, in China. The results of the 16S rRNA sequence alignment analysis showed that they were related to Microbacterium, with the highest similarity to Microbacterium ketosireducens (98.7 %) and Microbacterium laevaniformans (98.5 %) for strain W1NT, and to Microbacterium terricola (98.1 %) and Microbacterium marinum (98.0 %) for strain W2RT. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences and 92 conserved concatenated proteins suggested that the two strains belong to the genus Microbacterium and were placed in two separate novel phylogenetic clades. The genome sizes of the two strains were 3.2 and 3.7 Mb, and the G+C contents were 71.7 and 68.5 mol%, respectively. The comparative genome results showed that the average nucleotide identity values between W1NT and W2RT and other species ranged from 73.5 to 83.6 %, and the digital DNA-DNA hybridization values ranged from 19.7 to 26.8 %. These two strains show physiological and biochemical features that differ from those of closely related species. Rhamnose, galactose and glucose were present in the characteristic sugar fractions of strains W1NT and W2RT. The peptidoglycan of strains W1NT and W2RT contained the amino acids ornithine, alanine and aspartic acid. C15 : 0 anteiso, C17 : 0 anteiso and C16 : 0 iso were the predominant cellular fatty acids in W1NT and W2RT. Phosphatidylglycerol and diphosphatidylglycerol are major polar lipid components. Strain W1NT not only formed bacterial biofilms but also had the ability to solubilize phosphorus and produce indole-3-acetic acid. Strain W2RT had siderophore-producing and lignin-degrading properties. Based on their genetic and phenotypic characteristics, strains W1NT and W2RT were classified as novel bacteria in the genus Microbacterium and designated as Microbacterium festucae sp. nov. (type strain W1NT=ACCC 61807T=GDMCC 1.2966T=JCM 35339T) and Microbacterium nymphoidis sp. nov. (type strain W2RT=ACCC 61808T=GDMCC 1.2967T=JCM 35340T).

Abstract
A Gram-stain positive, aerobic, rod-shaped actinobacterial strain designated as JXJ CY 27-2T was isolated from the culture of Microcystis aeruginosa FACHB-905 (Maf) collected from Lake Kunming, southwest China. The isolate was catalase positive, oxidase negative, and able to grow at 10.0-44.0 °C, pH 5.0-10.0 and 0-5.0% NaCl. Based on the 16S rRNA gene sequences, JXJ CY 27-2T showed high similarities of 98.54-98.55% with Microbacterium invictum DSM 19600T, Microbacterium saccharophilum DSM 28107T, and Microbacterium aoyamense DSM 19461T, and less than 98.47% similarities with other members of the genus. Its major cellular fatty acids were anteiso-C17:0 and anteiso-C15:0. The predominant menaquinones were MK-11 and MK-12. The diagnostic diamino acid in the cell wall peptidoglycan was lysine. Whole cell sugars contained mannose, ribose, galactose, rhamnose and arabinose. The polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, two unidentified glycolipids, and an unidentified lipid. The DNA G + C content was 69.8%. The digital DNA-DNA hybridization and average nucleotide identity values between strain JXJ CY 27-2T and its three closest similar strains were 18.4-20.3% and 74.9-75.7%, respectively. Based on the above data, strain JXJ CY 27-2T was identified as a new species of the genus Microbacterium, for which the name Microbacterium kunmingensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is JXJ CY 27-2T (=CGMCC 1.17506T = KCTC 49382T). Strain JXJ CY 27-2T could promote the growth of Maf by providing it with available phosphorus, nitrogen and probably other nutrients such as vitamins and indole-3-acetate.

Abstract
Two strains of Gram-stain-positive, aerobic, non-spore-forming, non-motile, rod-shaped bacteria (designated dk512T and dk508) were isolated from the faeces of Tibetan gazelle (Procapra picticaudata) collected from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, PR China. The 16S rRNA gene sequences of the strains showed the highest identity to Microbacterium saccharophilum K-1T (98.0 and 97.9 % similarity, respectively). The phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that dk512T and dk508 were members of the genus Microbacterium, and most closely related to strains Microbacterium mitrae M4-8T and Microbacterium hatanonis FCC-01T. The strains grew optimally on brain-heart infusion (BHI) agar with 5.0 % (v/v) sheep blood at 30 °C, pH 7.0 and with 1.0 % (w/v) NaCl. The genome of type strain dk512T was 3.8 Mb with a G+C content of 70.6 mol%. The average nucleotide identity and digital DNA-DNA hybridization values between strain dk512T and previously characterized Microbacterium species were <95 and <70 %, respectively. In strain dk512T, the detected primary cellular fatty acids were anteiso-C15 : 0 and anteiso-C17 : 0, the main respiratory quinones were MK-9 (37.9 %) and MK-10 (35.7 %), and the polar lipids included diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol and three unidentified glycolipids. The major cell-wall sugars were rhamnose, ribose and galactose. Alanine, glutamic acid, glycine and ornithine were in the cell-wall peptidoglycan. Based on phenotypic data and phylogenetic inference, these two strains represent a novel species of the genus Microbacterium, named here as Microbacterium wangchenii sp. nov, where dk512T is designated the type strain (=CGMCC 1.16590T=JCM 33494T=KCTC 49313T).

Abstract
Two deep boreholes were drilled at 320 and 620 meters below surface in the Iberian Pyritic Belt (IPB) at Peña de Hierro (Huelva, Southwestern Spain). Cores were sampled and used for the establishment of enrichment cultures with methanogenic activity. The cultivable diversity of these enrichments was accessed using different cultivation techniques and several isolates were recovered in pure culture from various depths in both boreholes. Although no archaeal isolates were obtained in pure culture, strict anaerobes and facultative anaerobic bacteria belonging to the phyla Proteobacteria, Firmicutes, Actinobacteria and Bacteroidetes were isolated and identified using the 16S rRNA gene sequence. Analysis of three selected enrichment cultures by amplification of both bacterial and archaeal 16S rRNA gene followed by pyrosequencing revealed further information on the populations enriched. The archaeal sequences obtained from the methanogenic enrichment cultures belonged to the orders Methanosarcinales and Methanocellales. To best of our knowledge this is the first report of enrichment in members of the Methanocellales in a deep terrestrial subsurface ecosystem. Several bacterial populations, predominantly consisting of Firmicutes and Proteobacteria, were also enriched. The prevalent microbial populations enriched as detected by pyrosequencing analysis, as well as the bacterial isolates cultivated were affiliated with known fermentative, sulfate reducing and acetogenic bacteria or methanogenic archaea. Our results show a great diversity in the microbial communities of the IPB deep subsurface.

Abstract
Lactosucrose, a rare trisaccharide formed from sucrose and lactose by enzymatic transglycosylation, is a type of indigestible carbohydrate with a good prebiotic effect. In this study, lactosucrose biosynthesis was efficiently carried out by a purified levansucrase from Leuconostoc mesenteroides B-512. The target gene was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli, and the recombinant enzyme was purified to homogeneity by nickel affinity and gel filtration chromatography. The effects of pH, temperature, substrate concentration, substrate ratio, and enzyme amount on lactosucrose biosynthesis were studied in detail, and the optimized conditions were determined to be pH 6.5, 50 °C, 27% (W/V) sucrose, 27% (W/V) lactose, and 5 U mL(-1) of the purified recombinant enzyme. Under the optimized reaction conditions, the maximal lactosucrose yield reached 224 g L(-1) after reaction for 1 h. Therefore, L. mesenteroides levansucrase could be considered a potential candidate for future industrial production of lactosucrose.

Abstract
A novel bacterium (strain NIO-1002(T)) belonging to the genus Microbacterium was isolated from a marine sediment sample in Chorao Island, Goa Province, India. Its morphology, physiology, biochemical features and 16S rRNA gene sequence were characterized. Cells of this strain were Gram-stain-positive, non-motile, non-spore-forming rods that formed yellow-pigmented colonies. It grew in 0-12% (w/v) NaCl and at 25-37 °C, with optimal growth at 30 °C. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strain NIO-1002(T) is associated with members of the genus Microbacterium, with highest sequence similarity with Microbacterium hominis CIP 105731(T) (98.1%) and Microbacterium testaceum KCTC 9103(T) (98.0%). Within the phylogenetic tree, this novel strain shared a branching point with M. hominis CIP 105731(T). The DNA G+C content was 66.5 mol% and DNA-DNA hybridization relatedness between NIO-1002(T), M. hominis CIP 105731(T) and M. testaceum KCTC 9103(T) was 39.0 ± 2.0% and 41.0 ± 2.0%, respectively. The major fatty acids were ai-C15 : 0, i-C16 : 0 and ai-C17 : 0 and the diamino acid in the cell-wall peptidoglycan of NIO-1002(T) was lysine. Data obtained from DNA-DNA hybridization and chemotaxonomic phenotypic analysis support the conclusion that strain NIO-1002(T) represents a novel species within the genus Microbacterium. The name Microbacterium enclense sp. nov. is proposed, with NIO-1002(T) ( = NCIM 5454(T) = DSM 25125(T) = CCTCC AB 2011120(T)) as the type strain.

Microbacterium endophyticum sp. nov. and Microbacterium halimionae sp. nov., endophytes isolated from the salt-marsh plant Halimione portulacoides and emended description of the genus Microbacterium. Syst Appl Microbiol 2014; 37:474-9. [PMID: 25239238 DOI: 10.1016/j.syapm.2014.08.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 30] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/05/2014] [Revised: 08/11/2014] [Accepted: 08/26/2014] [Indexed: 11/20/2022]
Abstract
Fifteen actinobacterial isolates retrieved from the endophytic community of the salt-marsh plant Halimione portulacoides were characterised in this study. ERIC-PCR fingerprinting analysis divided these isolates into two groups represented by strains PA15(T) and PA36(T), respectively. 16S rRNA gene sequence analyses showed the isolates belonged to the genus Microbacterium, with Microbacterium saccharophilum NCIMB 14782(T) as the closest phylogenetic relative to which they have pairwise sequence similarities of 98.7-98.8%. Strains PA15(T) and PA36(T) are closely related having a pairwise sequence similarity of 99.8%. However, DNA-DNA hybridization result between both was well under 70% confirming them as distinct genomic species. Both strains have a B2β peptidoglycan type with ornithine as diaminoacid, MK-10 and MK-11 as major menaquinones, anteiso-C15:0, anteiso-C17:0 and iso-C16:0 as major fatty acids. These features as well as DNA-DNA hybridization results clearly separate them from M. saccharophilum. On the basis of physiological, chemotaxonomic and genetic characteristics we propose that the isolates studied represent two novel species of the genus Microbacterium, Microbacterium endophyticum sp. nov. (type strain PA15(T)=DSM 27099(T)=CECT 8354(T)) and Microbacterium halimionae sp. nov. (type strain PA36(T)=DSM 27576(T)=CECT 8593(T)).

Enhancing thermostability and the structural characterization of Microbacterium saccharophilum K-1 β-fructofuranosidase. Appl Microbiol Biotechnol 2014; 98:6667-77. [PMID: 24633372 DOI: 10.1007/s00253-014-5645-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/21/2014] [Revised: 02/19/2014] [Accepted: 02/25/2014] [Indexed: 10/25/2022]
Abstract
A β-fructofuranosidase from Microbacterium saccharophilum K-1 (formerly known as Arthrobacter sp. K-1) is useful for producing the sweetener lactosucrose (4(G)-β-D-galactosylsucrose). Thermostability of the β-fructofuranosidase was enhanced by random mutagenesis and saturation mutagenesis. Clones with enhanced thermostability included mutations at residues Thr47, Ser200, Phe447, Phe470, and Pro500. In the highest stability mutant, T47S/S200T/F447P/F470Y/P500S, the half-life at 60 °C was 182 min, 16.5-fold longer than the wild-type enzyme. A comparison of the crystal structures of the full-length wild-type enzyme and three mutants showed that various mechanisms appear to be involved in thermostability enhancement. In particular, the replacement of Phe447 with Val or Pro induced a conformational change in an adjacent residue His477, which results in the formation of a new hydrogen bond in the enzyme. Although the thermostabilization mechanisms of the five residue mutations were explicable on the basis of the crystal structures, it appears to be difficult to predict which amino acid residues should be modified to obtain thermostabilized enzymes.
