Abstract
Two Gram-stain-negative, non-motile, non-spore-forming, strictly aerobic and rod-shaped bacterial strains, CMA-7T and CAA-3, were isolated from surface seawater samples collected from the western Pacific Ocean. Phylogeny of 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated they were related to the genera Galbibacter and Joostella and shared 95.1, 90.9 and 90.8% sequence similarity with G. mesophilus Mok-17T, J. marina DSM 19592T and G. marinus ck-I2-15T, respectively. Phylogenomic analysis showed that the two strains, together with the members of the genera Galbibacter and Joostella, formed a monophyletic clade that could also be considered a monophyletic taxon. This distinctiveness was supported by amino acid identity and percentage of conserved proteins indices, phenotypic and chemotaxonomic characteristics and comparative genomics analysis. Digital DNA‒DNA hybridization values and average nucleotide identities between the two strains and their closest relatives were 18.0-20.8 % and 77.7-79.3 %, respectively. The principal fatty acids were iso-C15 : 0, iso-C17 : 0 3-OH, iso-C15 : 1 G, Summed Feature 3 (C16 : 1 ω7c/C16 : 1 ω6c or C16 : 1 ω6c/C16 : 1 ω7c), Summed Feature 9 (iso-C17 : 1 ω9c or C16 : 0 10-methyl), and C15 : 0 3-OH. The predominant respiratory quinone was MK-6. The polar lipids were phosphatidylethanolamine, aminolipid, aminophospholipid, phospholipid, phosphoglycolipid, glycolipid and unknown polar lipid. The genomic DNA G+C content of strains CMA-7T and CAA-3 was both 38.4 mol%. Genomic analysis indicated they have the potential to degrade cellulose and chitin. Based on the polyphasic evidence presented in this study, the two strains represent a novel species within the genus Galbibacter, for which the name Galbibacter pacificus sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is CMA-7T (=MCCC M28999T = KCTC 92588T). Moreover, the transfer of Joostella marina to the genus Galbibacter as Galbibacter orientalis nom. nov. (type strain En5T = KCTC 12518T = DSM 19592T=CGMCC 1.6973T) is also proposed.

Genomic Analysis to Elucidate the Lignocellulose Degrading Capability of a New Halophile Robertkochia solimangrovi. Genes (Basel) 2022; 13:genes13112135. [DOI: 10.3390/genes13112135] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/29/2022] [Revised: 11/14/2022] [Accepted: 11/15/2022] [Indexed: 11/19/2022] Open
Abstract
Robertkochia solimangrovi is a proposed marine bacterium isolated from mangrove soil. So far, the study of this bacterium is limited to taxonomy only. In this report, we performed a genomic analysis of R. solimangrovi that revealed its lignocellulose degrading ability. Genome mining of R. solimangrovi revealed a total of 87 lignocellulose degrading enzymes. These enzymes include cellulases (GH3, GH5, GH9 and GH30), xylanases (GH5, GH10, GH43, GH51, GH67, and GH115), mannanases (GH2, GH26, GH27 and GH113) and xyloglucanases (GH2, GH5, GH16, GH29, GH31 and GH95). Most of the lignocellulolytic enzymes encoded in R. solimangrovi were absent in the genome of Robertkochia marina, the closest member from the same genus. Furthermore, current work also demonstrated the ability of R. solimangrovi to produce lignocellulolytic enzymes to deconstruct oil palm empty fruit bunch (EFB), a lignocellulosic waste found abundantly in palm oil industry. The metabolic pathway taken by R. solimangrovi to transport and process the reducing sugars after the action of lignocellulolytic enzymes on EFB was also inferred based on genomic data. Collectively, genomic analysis coupled with experimental studies elucidated R. solimangrovi to serve as a promising candidate in seawater based-biorefinery industry.

Abstract
In this study, we describe a Gram-stain-negative, rod-shaped, non-motile and aerobic bacterium, named strain MT3330T, which was isolated from the deep-sea sediment of the Mariana Trench. Growth of MT3330T occurred at 15–40 °C (optimum, 25–30 °C), pH 5.0–10.0 (optimum, 7.0–8.0) and with 0–8.0 % (w/v) NaCl (optimum, 0–2.0 %). The results of phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequence indicated that MT3330T represented a member of the family
Flavobacteriaceae
and was most closely related to
Zhouia spongiae
HN-Y44T (92.3 % sequence similarity). The results of genomic analysis indicated that MT3330T contains a circular chromosome of 4 365 036 bp with a DNA G+C content of 35.2 %. The predominant respiratory quinone of MT3330T was MK-6. The polar lipids of MT3330T included phosphatidylethanolamine, three unidentified amino lipids and four unidentified lipids. The major fatty acids of MT3330T included C15 : 0, iso-C15 : 1G, iso-C15 : 0 3-OH, and iso-C17 : 0 3-OH. On the basis of the results of the phylogenetic, physiological, biochemical and morphological analyses, it is suggested that strain MT3330T represents a novel genus and a novel species of the family
Flavobacteriaceae
, and the name Abyssalbus ytuae gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is MT3330T (=MCCC 1K06012T=KCTC 82823T).

Abstract
A Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, and yellow-pigmented bacterium, designated A3-108T, was isolated from seawater of the West Pacific Ocean. Cells were non-motile and rod-shaped, with carotenoid-type pigments. Strain A3-108T grew at pH 6.0–8.5 (optimum 6.5) and 15–40 °C (optimum 28 °C), in the presence of 0.5–10% (w/v) NaCl (optimum 1.0%). It possessed the ability to produce H2S. Based on the 16S rRNA gene analysis, strain A3-108T exhibited highest similarity with Aureisphaera salina A6D-50T (90.6%). Phylogenetic analysis shown that strain A3-108T affiliated with members of the family Flavobacteriaceae and represented an independent lineage. The principal fatty acids were iso-C15:0, iso-C17:0 3-OH, iso-C15:1 G, and summed feature 3 (C16:1ω7c and/or C16:1ω6c). The sole isoprenoid quinone was MK-6. The major polar lipids were phosphatidylethanolamine, one unidentified aminophospholipid, one unidentified aminolipid and one unidentified lipid. The ANIb, in silico DDH and AAI values among the genomes of strain A3-108T and three reference strains were 67.3–71.1%, 18.7–22.1%, and 58.8–71.4%, respectively. The G + C content was 41.0%. Distinctness of the phylogenetic position as well as differentiating chemotaxonomic and other phenotypic traits revealed that strain A3-108T represented a novel genus and species of the family Flavobacteriaceae, for which the name Luteirhabdus pelagi gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed (type strain, A3-108T = CGMCC 1.18821T = KCTC 82563T).

Abstract
The microbial communities associated with marine sediments are critical for ecosystem function yet remain poorly characterized. While culture-independent (CI) techniques capture the broadest perspective on community composition, culture-dependent (CD) methods can select for low abundance taxa that are missed using CI approaches. This study aimed to assess microbial diversity in tropical marine sediments at five shallow-water sites in Belize using both CD and CI techniques. The CD methods captured approximately 3% of the >800 genera detected across all sites using the CI approach. Additionally, 39 genera were only detected in culture, revealing rare taxa that were missed with the CI approach. Significantly different communities were detected across sites, with rare taxa playing an important role in distinguishing among communities. This study provides important baseline data describing shallow-water sediment microbial communities, evidence that standard cultivation techniques may be more effective than previously recognized, and the first steps towards identifying new taxa that are amenable to agar plate cultivation.

Abstract
The wide use of whole-genome sequencing approach in the modern genomic era has opened a great opportunity to reveal the prospective applications of halophilic bacteria. Robertkochia marina CC-AMO-30DT is one of the halophilic bacteria that was previously taxonomically identified without any inspection on its biotechnological potential from a genomic aspect. In this study, we present the whole-genome sequence of R. marina and demonstrated the ability of this bacterium in solubilizing phosphate by producing phosphatase. The genome of R. marina has 3.57 Mbp and contains 3107 predicted genes, from which 3044 are protein coding, 52 are non-coding RNAs, and 11 are pseudogenes. Several phosphatases such as alkaline phosphatases and pyrophosphatases were mined from the genome. Further genomic study (phylogenetics, sequence analysis, and functional mechanism) and experimental data suggested that the alkaline phosphatase produced by R. marina could potentially be utilized in promoting plant growth, particularly for plants on saline-based agricultural land.

Abstract
To date, there is sparse information for the genus Robertkochia with Robertkochia marina CC-AMO-30DT as the only described member. We report here a new species isolated from mangrove soil collected at Malaysia Tanjung Piai National Park and perform polyphasic characterization to determine its taxonomic position. Strain CL23T is a Gram-negative, yellow-pigmented, strictly aerobic, catalase-positive and oxidase-positive bacterium. The optimal growth conditions were determined to be at pH 7.0, 30–37 °C and in 1–2 % (w/v) NaCl. The major respiratory quinone was menaquinone-6 (MK-6) and the highly abundant polar lipids were four unidentified lipids, a phosphatidylethanolamine and two unidentified aminolipids. The 16S rRNA gene similarity between strain CL23T and R. marina CC-AMO-30DT is 96.67 %. Strain CL23T and R. marina CC-AMO-30DT clustered together and were distinguished from taxa of closely related genera in 16S rRNA gene phylogenetic analysis. Genome sequencing revealed that strain CL23T has a genome size of 4.4 Mbp and a G+C content of 40.72 mol%. Overall genome related indexes including digital DNA–DNA hybridization value and average nucleotide identity are 17.70 % and approximately 70%, below the cutoffs of 70 and 95%, respectively, indicated that strain CL23T is a distinct species from R. marina CC-AMO-30DT. Collectively, based on the phenotypic, chemotaxonomic, phylogenetic and genomic evidences presented here, strain CL23T is proposed to represent a new species with the name Robertkochia solimangrovi sp. nov. (KCTC 72252T=LMG 31418T). An emended description of the genus Robertkochia is also proposed.

Abstract
Planctomycetes are ubiquitous and environmentally important Gram-negative aquatic bacteria with key roles in global carbon and nitrogen cycles. Many planctomycetal species have a pink or orange colour and have been suggested to produce carotenoids. Potential applications as food colorants or anti-oxidants have been proposed. Hitherto, the planctomycetal metabolism is largely unexplored and the strain pigmentation has not been explored. For a holistic view of the complex planctomycetal physiology, we analysed carotenoid profiles of the pink-pigmented strain Rhodopirellula rubra LF2T and of the orange strain Rubinisphaera brasiliensis Gr7. During LC-MS/MS analysis of culture extracts, we could identify three saproxanthin-type carotenoids including a rare C45 carotenoid. These compounds, saproxanthin, dehydroflexixanthin and 2'-isopentenyldehydrosaproxanthin, derive from the common carotenoid precursor lycopene and are characterized by related end groups, namely a 3-hydroxylated β-carotene-like cyclohexene ring as one end group and simple hydration on the other end of the molecule. Based on the observed molecule structure we present putative pathways for their biosynthesis. Results support Planctomycetes as a promising, yet mostly untapped source of carotenoids.

Abstract
Although considerable progress has been made in recent years regarding the classification of bacteria assigned to the phylum Bacteroidetes, there remains a need to further clarify taxonomic relationships within a diverse assemblage that includes organisms of clinical, piscicultural, and ecological importance. Bacteroidetes classification has proved to be difficult, not least when taxonomic decisions rested heavily on interpretation of poorly resolved 16S rRNA gene trees and a limited number of phenotypic features. Here, draft genome sequences of a greatly enlarged collection of genomes of more than 1,000 Bacteroidetes and outgroup type strains were used to infer phylogenetic trees from genome-scale data using the principles drawn from phylogenetic systematics. The majority of taxa were found to be monophyletic but several orders, families and genera, including taxa proposed long ago such as Bacteroides, Cytophaga, and Flavobacterium but also quite recent taxa, as well as a few species were shown to be in need of revision. According proposals are made for the recognition of new orders, families and genera, as well as the transfer of a variety of species to other genera. In addition, emended descriptions are given for many species mainly involving information on DNA G+C content and (approximate) genome size, both of which can be considered valuable taxonomic markers. We detected many incongruities when comparing the results of the present study with existing classifications, which appear to be caused by insufficiently resolved 16S rRNA gene trees or incomplete taxon sampling. The few significant incongruities found between 16S rRNA gene and whole genome trees underline the pitfalls inherent in phylogenies based upon single gene sequences and the impediment in using ordinary bootstrapping in phylogenomic studies, particularly when combined with too narrow gene selections. While a significant degree of phylogenetic conservation was detected in all phenotypic characters investigated, the overall fit to the tree varied considerably, which is one of the probable causes of misclassifications in the past, much like the use of plesiomorphic character states as diagnostic features.

A8 when grown in pure culture and consortia. J Environ Sci (China) 2018; 67:115-126. [PMID: 29778143 DOI: 10.1016/j.jes.2017.08.007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/06/2017] [Revised: 08/11/2017] [Accepted: 08/14/2017] [Indexed: 06/08/2023]
Abstract
Joostella strains are emerging candidates for biosurfactant production. Here such ability was analyzed for Joostella strain A8 in comparison with Alcanivorax strain A53 and Pseudomonas strain A6, all previously isolated from hydrocarbon enrichment cultures made of polychaete homogenates. In pure cultures Joostella sp. A8 showed the highest stable emulsion percentage (78.33%), hydrophobicity rate (62.67%), and an optimal surface tension reduction during growth in mineral medium supplemented with diesel oil (reduction of about 12mN/m), thus proving to be highly competitive with Alcanivorax and Pseudomonas strains. During growth in pure culture different level of biodegradation were detected for Alcanivorax strain A53 (52.7%), Pseudomonas strain A6 (38.2%) and Joostella strain A8 (26.8%). When growing in consortia, isolates achieved similar abundance values, with the best efficiency that was observed for the Joostella-Pseudomonas co-culture. Gas-chromatographic analysis revealed an increase in the biodegradation efficiency in co-cultures (about 90%), suggesting that the contemporary action of different bacterial species could improve the process. Results were useful to compare the efficiencies of well-known biosurfactant producers (i.e. Pseudomonas and Alcanivorax representatives) with a still unknown biosurfactant producer, i.e. Joostella, and to confirm them as optimal biosurfactant-producing candidates.

Abstract
A Gram-staining-negative, strictly aerobic, yellowish-orange, flexirubin-positive, rod-shaped, non-flagellated, non-spore-forming and non-gliding marine bacterium, designated strain CC-PY-50T, was isolated from estuarine water off Pingtung, Taiwan. The strain produced zeaxanthin as a major carotenoid pigment, and showed highest pairwise 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity to
Bizionia hallyeonensis
T-y7T (93.9 %) followed by
Corallibacter vietnamensis
KMM 6217T (93.8 %),
Geojedonia litorea
YCS-16T (93.7 %) and other members of the family
Flavobacteriaceae
(<93.7 %). Strain CC-PY-50T established a distinct phyletic lineage associated with
Mangrovimonas yunxiaonensis
LYYY01T (93.1 % sequence similarity) with poor bootstrap support during neighbour-joining and maximum-likelihood phylogenetic analyses (37 % for each). The polar lipid profile of strain CC-PY-50T was determined to accommodate large numbers of unknown lipids including major amounts of three unidentified aminolipids and two unidentified lipids, and moderate amounts of an unidentified phospholipid, an unidentified glycolipid and an unidentified lipid. In addition, phosphatidylethanolamine was also detected in significant amounts. The major (>5 % of total) fatty acids were iso-C15 : 0, iso-C15 : 1 G, iso-C17 : 0 3-OH, C16 : 0 and C16 : 1ω6c and/or C16 : 1ω7c. The DNA G+C content was 37.1 mol% and menaquinone-6 (MK-6) was the sole respiratory quinone. Based on the phylogenetic evidence and several distinguishing phenotypic and chemotaxonomic features, strain CC-PY-50T is proposed to represent a novel genus and species of the family
Flavobacteriaceae
, for which the name Hanstruepera neustonica gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of the type species Hanstruepera neustonica gen. nov., sp. nov. is CC-PY-50T ( = JCM 19743T = BCRC 80747T). Emended descriptions of the species
Sediminibacter furfurosus
,
Mangrovimonas yunxiaonensis
,
Antarcticimonas flava
and
Hoppeia youngheungensis
are also proposed.
