Coexistence of Psychrophilic, Mesophilic, and Thermophilic Sulfate-Reducing Bacteria in a Deep Subsurface Aquifer Associated with Coal-Bed Methane Production. MICROBIAL ECOLOGY 2023; 86:1934-1946.

Abstract
The microbial community of subsurface environments remains understudied due to limited access to deep strata and aquifers. Coal-bed methane (CBM) production is associated with a large number of wells pumping water out of coal seams. CBM wells provide access to deep biotopes associated with coal-bed water. Temperature is one of the key constraints for the distribution and activity of subsurface microorganisms, including sulfate-reducing prokaryotes (SRP). The 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing coupled with in situ sulfate reduction rate (SRR) measurements with a radioactive tracer and cultivation at various temperatures revealed that the SRP community of the coal bed water of the Kuzbass coal basin is characterized by an overlapping mesophilic-psychrophilic boundary. The genus Desulfovibrio comprised a significant share of the SRP community. The D. psychrotolerans strain 1203, which has a growth optimum below 20 °C, dominated the cultivated SRP. SRR in coal bed water varied from 0.154 ± 0.07 to 2.04 ± 0.048 nmol S cm-3 day-1. Despite the ambient water temperature of ~ 10-20 °C, an active thermophilic SRP community occurred in the fracture water, which reduced sulfate with the rate of 0.159 ± 0.023 to 0.198 ± 0.007 nmol S cm-3 day-1 at 55 °C. A novel moderately thermophilic "Desulforudis audaxviator"-clade SRP has been isolated in pure culture from the coal-bed water.

Abstract
"Psychrodesulfovibrio", a proposed genus within the family Desulfovibrionaceae, is a group of sulfate-reducing bacteria with biogeochemical significance but restricted child taxa availability. In this study, a strictly anaerobic bacterium, designed strain FT415T, was isolated from mangrove sediments in Futian Mangrove Nature Reserve in Shenzhen, China. The strain was Gram-stain-negative, motile, and vibrio-shaped with a single polar flagellum, which grew at the temperature range of 15-42 °C (optimum 37 °C), pH range of 6.0-7.5 (optimum 6.8), and in the presence of 0-36 g l-1 NaCl (optimum 6 g l-1 NaCl). In the presence of sulfate, electron donors including lactate, ethanol, pyruvate, malate, fumarate, succinate, cysteine, and glycerol were incompletely oxidized to acetate, and H2 and formate were used as electron donors with acetate as the carbon source by strain FT415T. Sulfate, thiosulfate, sulfide, and anthraquinone-2,6-disulfonate were reduced in the presence of lactate. Fe(III) oxide was reduced without cell growth. Fermentative growth was observed with pyruvate and cysteine. Vitamins were not required for growth. The major cellular fatty acids (> 10%) were C16:0, summed feature 10 (C18:1 c11/t9/t6 and/or unknown ECL 17.834), C16:1 cis 9, and C18:0. The major polar lipids were phosphatidylethanolamine, phospholipids, and aminolipids. The predominant menaquinone was MK-6(H2). The genomic DNA G+C content was 56.7%. Phylogenetic analysis showed that strain FT415T shared a 98.1% similarity in 16S rRNA gene sequence, an average nucleotide identity value of 84.0%, an average amino-acid identity value of 85.4%, and a digital DNA-DNA hybridization value of 25.7% with its closest relative Desulfovibrio subterraneus HN2T, which has been proposed to be transferred to the genus "Psychrodesulfovibrio". Based on phenotypic, phylogenetic, and genotypic evidence, a new species of the family Desulfovibrionaceae, Desulfovibrio mangrovi sp. nov. was proposed with the type strain FT415T (=GDMCC 1.3410T=KCTC 25525T).

Abstract
Bacteria in the Desulfovibrionaceae family, which contribute to S element turnover as sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) and disproportionation of partially oxidized sulfoxy anions, have been extensively investigated since the importance of the sulfur cycle emerged. Novel species belonging to this taxon are frequently reported, because they exist in various environments and are easy to culture using established methods. Due to the rapid expansion of the taxon, correction and reclassification have been conducted. The development of high-throughput sequencing facilitated rapid expansion of genome sequence database. Genome-based criteria, based on these databases, proved to be potential classification standard by overcoming the limitations of 16S rRNA-based phylogeny. Although standards methods for taxogenomics are being established, the addition of a novel genus requires extensive calculations with taxa, including many species, such as Desulfovibrionaceae. Thus, the genome-based criteria for classification of Desulfovibrionaceae were established and validated in this study. The average amino-acid identity (AAI) cut-off value, 63.43 ± 0.01, was calculated to be an appropriate criterion for genus delineation of the family Desulfovibrionaceae. By applying the AAI cut-off value, 88 genomes of the Desulfovibrionaceae were divided into 27 genera, which follows the core gene phylogeny results. In this process, two novel genera (Alkalidesulfovibrio and Salidesulfovibrio) and one former invalid genus (“Psychrodesulfovibrio”) were officially proposed. Further, by applying the 95–96% average nucleotide identity (ANI) standard and the 70% digital DNA–DNA hybridization standard values for species delineation of strains that were classified as the same species, five strains have the potential to be newly classified. After verifying that the classification was appropriately performed through relative synonymous codon usage analysis, common characteristics were listed by group. In addition, by detecting metal resistance related genes via in silico analysis, it was confirmed that most strains display metal tolerance.

Abstract
A novel mesophilic sulfate-reducing bacterium, strain HN2T, was isolated from groundwater sampled from the subsurface siliceous mudstone of the Wakkanai Formation located in Horonobe, Hokkaido, Japan. The bacterium was Gram-negative and vibrio-shaped, and its motility was conferred by a single polar flagellum. Cells had desulfoviridin. Catalase and oxidase activities were not detected. It grew in the temperature range of 25-40 °C (optimum, 35 °C) and pH range of 6.3-8.1 (optimum, pH 7.2-7.6). It used sulfate, thiosulfate, dimethyl sulfoxide, anthraquinone-2,6-disulfonate, Fe3+, and manganese oxide, but not elemental sulfur, nitrite, nitrate, or fumarate as electron acceptors. The strain showed weak growth with sulfite as the electron acceptor. Fermentative growth with pyruvate, lactate and cysteine was observed in the absence of sulfate, but not with malate or fumarate. NaCl was not required, but the strain tolerated up to 40 g l-1. Strain HN2T did not require vitamins. The major cellular fatty acids were iso-C15 : 0 (23.8 %), C18 : 1 ω9t (18.4 %), C18 : 0 (15.0 %), C16 : 0 (14.5 %), and anteiso-C17 :0 (10.1 %). The major respiratory quinone was menaquinone MK-6(H2). The G+C content of the genomic DNA was 56.7 mol%. Based on 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, the closest phylogenetic relative of strain HN2T is Desulfovibrio psychrotolerans JS1T (97.0 %). Digital DNA-DNA hybridization (dDDH) and average nucleotide identity (ANI) values of the strains HN2T and D. psychrotolerans JS1T were 22.2 and 79.8 %, respectively. Based on the phenotypic and molecular genetic evidence, we propose a novel species, D. subterraneus sp. nov. with the type strain HN2T (=DSM 101010T=NBRC 112213T).

Abstract
The geothermal system of the Salento peninsula (Italy) is characterized by the presence of many hydrogen sulfide-rich underground waters and thermal springs. We focused our attention on the submerged section of Zinzulùsa (Castro, Italy), a cave of both naturalistic and archaeological interest. In pioneer studies, some hypotheses about the origin of the sulfurous waters of this area were proposed. The most accredited one is that sulfate-enriched waters of marine origin infiltrate deep along bands with greater permeability, and warm-up going upwards, due to the geothermal gradient. During their route, marine waters interact with organic deposits and generate hydrogen sulfide as a result of sulfate reduction. To date, no studies have been conducted to elucidate the hydrogen sulfide origin in this site. The nature of reducing power and energy sources supporting microbial life in this submerged habitat is currently unknown. Here we present a multidisciplinary experimental approach aimed at defining geochemical features and microbiological diversity of the submerged habitat of Zinzulùsa cave. Our integrated data provide strong evidence that the sulfate content of the marine water and the activity of sulfate-reducing bacteria may account for the hydrogen sulfide content of the thermal springs. Anaerobic, sulfate-reducing, thermophilic Thermodesulfovibrio and hyperthermophilic Fervidobacterium genera show a high percentage contribution in 16S rRNA gene metabarcoding analyses, despite the mesophilic conditions of the sampling site. Besides, supported by PICRUSt functional analysis, we propose a chemotrophic model in which hydrocarbon deposits, entrapped in the stratifications of the seafloor, may be exploited by anaerobic oil-degrading bacteria as carbon and energy sources to sustain efficient hydrogen, sulfur, and nitrogen biogeochemical cycles. The Zinzulùsa hydrothermal site represents an ecosystem useful to obtain new insights into prokaryotic mutual interactions in oligotrophic and aphotic conditions, which constitute the largest environment of the biosphere.

Abstract
Sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) are a group of diverse anaerobic microorganisms omnipresent in natural habitats and engineered environments that use sulfur compounds as the electron acceptor for energy metabolism. Dissimilatory sulfate reduction (DSR)-based techniques mediated by SRB have been utilized in many sulfate-containing wastewater treatment systems worldwide, particularly for acid mine drainage, groundwater, sewage and industrial wastewater remediation. However, DSR processes are often operated suboptimally and disturbances are common in practical application. To improve the efficiency and robustness of SRB-based processes, it is necessary to study SRB metabolism and operational conditions. In this review, the mechanisms of DSR processes are reviewed and discussed focusing on intracellular and extracellular electron transfer with different electron donors (hydrogen, organics, methane and electrodes). Based on the understanding of the metabolism of SRB, responses of SRB to environmental stress (pH-, temperature-, and salinity-related stress) are summarized at the species and community levels. Application in these stressed conditions is discussed and future research is proposed. The feasibility of recovering energy and resources such as biohydrogen, hydrocarbons, polyhydroxyalkanoates, magnetite and metal sulfides through the use of SRB were investigated but some long-standing questions remain unanswered. Linking the existing scientific understanding and observations to practical application is the challenge as always for promotion of SRB-based techniques.

Abstract
An extracellular lipase was purified and characterized from psychrotolerant bacterium Pseudomonas sp. ISTPL3 isolated from Pangong lake. Lipase was purified by sequential methods of ammonium sulphate precipitation, dialysis, DEAE-cellulose ion exchange chromatography and Sephadex G-100 gel filtration chromatography, resulting in a purification fold of 6.53 and yield of 5.45%. The molecular weight was approximately 31kDa. The purified lipase was used for transesterification of lipids produced by oleaginous chemolithotrophic bacterium Serratia sp. ISTD04 for production of biodiesel. Upon biochemical characterization, lipase was found to be alkalophilc, thermostable, active in organic polar solvents and sensitive to detergents. Further, lipase was immobilized on activated biochar to assess its transesterification efficiency during biodiesel production. Immobilized lipase gave the highest yield of fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs) (92.23%)>unimmobilized lipase>NaOH. The immobilized lipase was assessed for its reusability and retained 75.11% of its activity after 3 cycles of biodiesel production.

Abstract
An antibiotic-producing, obligate anaerobic, Gram-stain-negative, catalase- and oxidase-negative strain (JC271T) was isolated from a marine habitat and identified, based on 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, as a novel member of the family Desulfovibrionaceae. The closest phylogenetic relatives of strain JC271T were found to be Desulfovibrio marinisediminis C/L2T (99.2 %), Desulfovibrio acrylicus W218T (98.7 %), Desulfovibrio desulfuricans subsp. aestuarii (98.6 %), Desulfovibrio oceani subsp. oceani (98.0 %), Desulfovibrio oceani subsp. galatae (98.0 %) and other members of the genus Desulfovibrio (≤91.9 %). To resolve its full taxonomic position, the genomic sequence of strain JC271T was compared to available genomes of the most closely related phylogenetic members. Average Nucleotide Identity scores and DNA-DNA hybridization values confirmed that strain JC271T represents a novel genomic species. Iso-C17 : 0, iso-C17 : 1ω9c, and iso-C15 : 0 were found to be the major (comprising >10 % of the total present) fatty acids of strain JC271T. Phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine and unidentified lipids (L1-8) were the polar lipids identified. The G+C content of strain JC271T was 46.2 mol%. Integrated genomic and phenotypic data supported the classification of strain JC271T as a representative of a novel genus, for which the name Halodesulfovibrio spirochaetisodalis gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is JC271T (=KCTC 15474T=DSM 100016T). It is also proposed that Desulfovibrio acrylicus W218T is the latter heterotypic synonym of Desulfovibrio desulfuricans subsp. aestuarii Sylt 3T. Desulfovibrio desulfuricans subsp. aestuarii Sylt 3T should also be elevated as Halodesulfovibrio aestuarii comb. nov. and Desulfovibrio marinisediminisreclassified as Halodesulfovibrio marinisediminis comb. nov. Desulfovibrio oceani subsp. oceanishould be reclassified as Halodesulfovibrio oceani subsp. oceani comb. nov. and Desulfovibrio oceani subsp. galateae as Halodesulfovibrio oceani subsp. galateae comb. nov.

Abstract
Two strains (JC83, JC84T) of obligately anaerobic, H2S-producing bacteria were isolated from estuarine sediment samples collected from Gangasagar, West Bengal, India. Cells were Gram-stain-negative, non-motile rods. Both strains were positive for oxidase, negative for catalase, hydrolysed casein, reduced nitrate and utilized citrate. Both strains grew chemoorganoheterotrophically with optimal pH of 7–8 (range 7–10) and at 30 °C (range 25–37 °C). C16 : 1ω7c, C18 : 1ω7c, C16 : 0 and C12 : 0 were the major fatty acids of both strains with minor amounts of C14 : 0, C12 : 0 3-OH and C18 : 0. Polar lipids of both strains included diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylserine, phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylinositol, an unidentified aminolipid (AL2), an unidentified phospholipid (PL2) and an unidentified lipid (L3). MK-6 was the major respiratory quinone. The DNA G+C content of strains JC83 and JC84T was 25.0 and 24.6 mol%, respectively. The strains showed DNA reassociation >85 % (86.0±0.5 %) (based on DNA–DNA hybridization). Based on 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, both strains were identified as belonging to the family
Campylobacteraceae
of the class
Epsilonproteobacteria
with
Arcobacter marinus
CL-S1T (95.4 % sequence similarity) as their closest phylogenetic neighbour. On the basis of morphological, physiological and chemotaxonomic characteristics as well as phylogenetic analysis, strains JC83 and JC84T are considered to represent a novel species, for which the name Arcobacter anaerophilus sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is JC84T ( = KCTC 15071T = MTCC 10956T = DSM 24636T). An emended description of the genus
Arcobacter
is provided.

FEMS Microbiol Ecol 2012; 83:26-37. [PMID: 22809466 DOI: 10.1111/j.1574-6941.2012.01452.x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 25] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/12/2012] [Revised: 07/03/2012] [Accepted: 07/05/2012] [Indexed: 11/29/2022] Open
Abstract
Improving the knowledge on sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) diversity and ecophysiology will permit a better understanding on their key roles in aquatic ecosystems. Therefore, their diversity was evaluated in estuarine sediments by a polyphasic approach including dsrA gene cloning and sequencing (156 clones) and high-throughput isolations in 384-well microplates (177 strains). Using the related thresholds of 95% (DsrA amino acid sequences) and 97% (16S rRNA gene sequences) for sequence similarity, SRB were grouped into 60 and 22 operational taxonomic units, respectively. Both approaches poorly overlapped and rather complemented each other. The clone library was dominated by sequences related to the Desulfobacteraceae, while only one isolate belonged to this family. Most of the strains were affiliated to the genera Desulfopila and Desulfotalea within the Desulfobulbaceae. Desulfopila-related strains exhibited a high phylogenetic microdiversity and represented numerically significant populations. In contrast, Desulfovibrio isolates were less abundant but displayed a high phylogenetic diversity. Three hundred and eighty-four-well microplate isolations enhanced significantly the number of isolates handled. As a consequence, 15 new taxa sharing less than 98% sequence similarity (16S rRNA gene) with their closest relatives were obtained. This polyphasic approach allowed to obtain a high phylogenetic diversity and thus a better view of sulfate-reducing communities in intertidal sediments.
