Abstract
Soil-dwelling Actinomycetes are a diverse and ubiquitous component of the global microbiome but largely lack genetic tools comparable to those available in model species such as Escherichia coli or Pseudomonas putida, posing a fundamental barrier to their characterization and utilization as hosts for biotechnology. To address this, we have developed a modular plasmid assembly framework, along with a series of genetic control elements for the previously genetically intractable Gram-positive environmental isolate Rhodococcus ruber C208, and demonstrate conserved functionality in 11 additional environmental isolates of Rhodococcus, Nocardia, and Gordonia. This toolkit encompasses five Mycobacteriale origins of replication, five broad-host-range antibiotic resistance markers, transcriptional and translational control elements, fluorescent reporters, a tetracycline-inducible system, and a counter-selectable marker. We use this toolkit to interrogate the carotenoid biosynthesis pathway in Rhodococcus erythropolis N9T-4, a weakly carotenogenic environmental isolate and engineer higher pathway flux toward the keto-carotenoid canthaxanthin. This work establishes several new genetic tools for environmental Mycobacteriales and provides a synthetic biology framework to support the design of complex genetic circuits in these species.IMPORTANCESoil-dwelling Actinomycetes, particularly the Mycobacteriales, include both diverse new hosts for sustainable biomanufacturing and emerging opportunistic pathogens. Rhodococcus, Gordonia, and Nocardia are three abundant genera with particularly flexible metabolisms and untapped potential for natural product discovery. Among these, Rhodococcus ruber C208 was shown to degrade polyethylene; Gordonia paraffinivorans can assimilate carbon from solid hydrocarbons; and Nocardia neocaledoniensis (and many other Nocardia spp.) possesses dual isoprenoid biosynthesis pathways. Many species accumulate high levels of carotenoid pigments, indicative of highly active isoprenoid biosynthesis pathways which may be harnessed for fermentation of terpenes and other commodity isoprenoids. Modular genetic toolkits have proven valuable for both fundamental and applied research in model organisms, but such tools are lacking for most Actinomycetes. Our suite of genetic tools and DNA assembly framework were developed for broad functionality and to facilitate rapid prototyping of genetic constructs in these organisms.

Abstract
Two rod-shaped, obligate anaerobic, Gram-stain-positive bacteria isolated from the pig faeces were designated YH-ols2216 and YH-ols2217T. Analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that these isolates were most related to the members of the family Atopobiaceae, within the order Coriobacteriales, and Granulimonas faecalis KCTC 25474T with 92.0 and 92.5% similarities, respectively. The 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity within isolates was 99.9 %; and those between isolates YH-ols2216 and YH-ols2217T, and Atopobium minutum DSM 20586T, the type species of the type genus Atopobium within the family Atopobiaceae, were 88.5 and 88.7 %, respectively. Those between isolates and Coriobacterium glomerans PW2T, the type species of the type genus Coriobacterium within the family Coriobacteriaceae, were 88.7 and 89.1 %, respectively. The multi-locus sequence tree revealed that the isolates, alongside the genera Granulimonas and Leptogranulimonas, formed a distinct cluster between the families Atopobiaceae and Coriobacteriaceae. The average nucleotide identities and digital DNA-DNA hybridization values for the isolates and their most closely related strains ranged from 67.7 to 76.2 % and from 18.4 to 23.3 %, respectively. The main cellular fatty acids of the isolates were C18 : 0 DMA, C18 : 1 ω9c, C18 : 0 12OH, C18 : 0, and C16 : 0. The cell wall contained the peptidoglycan meso-diaminopimelic acid. Lactate was the main end-product of the isolates. The major polar lipids of isolate YH-ols2217T were aminophospholipid, aminolipids, and lipids. Menaquinones were not identified in the cells of the isolates. The DNA G+C contents of isolates YH-ols2216 and YH-ols2217T were 67.5 and 67.6 mol%, respectively. Considering these chemotaxonomic, phenotypic, and phylogenetic properties, Kribbibacteriaceae fam. nov. is proposed within the order Coriobacteriales. YH-ols2216 (=KCTC 25708=NBRC 116429) and YH-ols2217T (=KCTC 25709T=NBRC 116430T) represent a novel taxon within this new family and the name Kribbibacterium absianum gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. In addition, the genera Granulimonas and Leptogranulimonas are transferred to the family Kribbibacteriaceae fam. nov.

Abstract
During the course of the isolation of actinobacteria from sweet potato field soils collected from Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya province of Thailand, strain TS4A08T was isolated and subjected to a polyphasic taxonomic approach. The 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis of strain TS4A08T revealed that it is closely related to the type strains of Saccharopolyspora aridisoli, and Saccharopolyspora endophytica with 98.7%, and 98.6% similarity, respectively. However, phylogenetic analyses using 16S rRNA gene and genome sequences indicated that strain TS4A08T clustered with Saccharopolyspora flava AS4.1520T (98.2% similarity), well-supported by bootstrap values, and formed distinct line from the two closest strains. The average nucleotide identity (ANI) values and digital DNA-DNA hybridization (dDDH) values between the genome sequences of strain TS4A08T and the closest type strains of S. aridisoli, S. endophytica, and S. flava, were 86.1-93.2% and 33.1-49.6%, respectively, which were less than the threshold for the species delineation. The genome size and the DNA G + C content of strain TS4A08T were 6.6 Mbp and 70.5%, respectively. The strain grew well at 25-37 °C, pH range of 7-9, and NaCl concentration of 0-5% (w/v). Whole-cell hydrolysates contained meso-diaminopimelic acid. The major fatty acids were iso-C16:0, anteiso-C17:0, and iso-C15:0. Strain TS4A08T exhibited phosphatidylcholine in its polar lipid profile, with MK-9(H4) being the predominant isoprenologue. The strain exhibits typical chemotaxonomic properties of the genus Saccharopolyspora, including arabinose, galactose, and ribose as whole-cell sugars. Strain TS4A08T represents a novel species within the genus Saccharopolyspora, for which the name Saccharopolyspora ipomoeae sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is TS4A08T (= TBRC 17271T = NBRC 115967T).

Abstract
We isolated and analyzed a novel, Gram-stain-positive, aerobic, rod-shaped, non-motile actinobacterium, designated as strain ZFBP1038T, from rock sampled on the north slope of Mount Everest. The growth requirements of this strain were 10-37 °C, pH 4-10, and 0-6% (w/v) NaCl. The sole respiratory quinone was MK-9, and the major fatty acids were anteiso-C15:0 and iso-C17:0. Peptidoglycan containing meso-diaminopimelic acid, ribose, and glucose were the major cell wall sugars, while polar lipids included diphosphatidyl glycerol, phosphatidyl glycerol, an unidentified phospholipid, and an unidentified glycolipid. A phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain ZFBP1038T has the highest similarity with Spelaeicoccus albus DSM 26341 T (96.02%). ZFBP1038T formed a distinct monophyletic clade within the family Brevibacteriaceae and was distantly related to the genus Spelaeicoccus. The G + C content of strain ZFBP1038T was 63.65 mol% and the genome size was 4.05 Mb. Digital DNA-DNA hybridization, average nucleotide identity, and average amino acid identity values between the genomes of strain ZFBP1038T and representative reference strains were 19.3-25.2, 68.0-71.0, and 52.8-60.1%, respectively. Phylogenetic, phenotypic, and chemotaxonomic characteristics as well as comparative genome analyses suggested that strain ZFBP1038T represents a novel species of a new genus, for which the name Saxibacter gen. nov., sp. nov. was assigned with the type strain Saxibacter everestensis ZFBP1038T (= EE 014 T = GDMCC 1.3024 T = JCM 35335 T).

Replacing traditional pretreatment in one-step UF with natural short-distance riverbank filtration: Continuous contaminants removal and TMP increase relief. WATER RESEARCH 2024; 249:120948. [PMID: 38064787 DOI: 10.1016/j.watres.2023.120948] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/16/2023] [Revised: 10/30/2023] [Accepted: 11/29/2023] [Indexed: 01/03/2024]
Abstract
Scientists have been focusing on applying more natural processes instead of industrial chemicals in drinking water treatment to achieve the purpose of carbon emissions reduction. In this study, we shortened the infiltration range of riverbank filtration, a natural water purification process, to form the short-distance riverbank filtration (sRBF) which retained its ability in water quality improvement and barely influenced the groundwater environment, and integrated it with ultrafiltration (UF) to form a one-step sRBF-UF system. This naturalness-artificiality combination could realize stable contaminants removal and trans-membrane pressure (TMP) increase relief for over 30 days without dosing chemicals. Generally, both sRBF and UF played the important role in river water purification, and the interaction between them made the one-step sRBF-UF superior in long-term operation. The sRBF could efficiently remove contaminants (90 % turbidity, 60 % total nitrogen, 30 % ammonia nitrogen, and 25 % total organic carbon) and reduce the membrane fouling potential of river water under its optimum operation conditions, i.e., a hydraulic retention time of 48 h, an operation temperature of 20 °C, and a synergistic filter material of aquifer and riverbank soil. Synergistic adsorption, interception, and microbial biodegradation were proved to be the mechanisms of contaminants and foulants removal for sRBF. The sequential UF also participated in the reduction of impurities and especially played a role in intercepting microbial metabolism products and possibly leaked microorganisms from sRBF, assuring the safety of product water. To date, the one-step sRBF-UF was a new attempt to combine a natural process with an artificial one, and realized a good and stable product quality in long-term operation without doing industrial chemicals, which made it a promised alternative for water purification for cities alongside the river.

Abstract
A polyphasic study was designed to determine the taxonomic status of isolate CSLK01-03T, which was recovered from an Indonesian neutral hot spring and provisionally assigned to the genus Rhodococcus. The isolate was found to have chemotaxonomic, cultural and morphological properties typical of rhodococci. It has a rod-coccus lifecycle and grows from 10 to 39 °C, from pH 6.5 to 8.0 and in the presence of 0-10 % (w/v) sodium chloride. Whole-organism hydrolysates contain meso-diaminopimelic acid, arabinose and galactose, the predominant menaquinone is MK-8 (H2), the polar lipid pattern consists of diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylinositol mannosides, phosphatidylmethylethanolamine and two unidentified components, it produces mycolic acids, and C16:0 is the major fatty acid. Whole-genome analyses show that the isolate and Rhodococcus electrodiphilus LMG 29881T (GenBank accession: JAULCK000000000) have genome sizes of 5.5 and 5.1 Mbp, respectively. These strains and Rhodococcus aetherivorans DSM 44752T and Rhodococcus ruber DSM 43338T form well-supported lineages in 16S rRNA and whole-genome trees that are close to sister lineages composed of the type strains of Rhodococcus rhodochrous and related Rhodococcus species. The isolate can be distinguished from its closest evolutionary neighbours using combinations of cultural and phenotypic features, and by low DNA-DNA hybridization values. Based on these data it is proposed that isolate CSLK01-03T (=CCMM B1310T=ICEBB-06T=NCIMB 15214T) be classified in the genus Rhodococcus as Rhodococcus indonesiensis sp. nov. The genomes of the isolate and its closest phylogenomic relatives are rich in biosynthetic gene clusters with the potential to synthesize new natural products, notably antibiotics. In addition, whole-genome-based taxonomy revealed that Rhodococcus electrodiphilus LMG 29881T and Rhodococcus ruber DSM 43338T belong to a single species. It is, therefore, proposed that R. electrodiphilus be recognized as a heterotypic synonym of R. ruber.

Four new Microbacterium species isolated from seaweeds and reclassification of five Microbacterium species with a proposal of Paramicrobacterium gen. nov. under a genome-based framework of the genus Microbacterium. Front Microbiol 2023; 14:1299950. [PMID: 38164402 PMCID: PMC10757982 DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2023.1299950] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/23/2023] [Accepted: 11/15/2023] [Indexed: 01/03/2024] Open
Abstract
The taxonomic relationships of 10 strains isolated from seaweeds collected from two beaches in Republic of Korea were studied by sequencing and analyses of 16S rRNA genes and whole genomes. For the construction of a more reliable and robust 16S rRNA gene phylogeny, the authentic and nearly complete 16S rRNA gene sequences of all the Microbacterium type strains were selected through pairwise comparison of the sequences contained in several public databases including the List of Prokaryotic names with Standing in Nomenclature (LPSN). The clustering of the ten study strains into five distinct groups was apparent in this single gene-based phylogenetic tree. In addition, the 16S rRNA gene sequences of a few type strains were shown to be incorrectly listed in LPSN. An overall phylogenomic clustering of the genus Microbacterium was performed with a total of 113 genomes by core genome analysis. As a result, nine major (≥ three type strains) and eight minor (two type strains) clusters were defined mostly at gene support index of 92 and mean intra-cluster OrthoANIu of >80.00%. All of the study strains were assigned to a Microbacterium liquefaciens clade and distributed further into four subclusters in the core genome-based phylogenetic tree. In vitro phenotypic assays for physiological, biochemical, and chemotaxonomic characteristics were also carried out with the ten study strains and seven closely related type strains. Comparison of the overall genomic relatedness indices (OGRI) including OrthoANIu and digital DNA-DNA hybridization supported that the study strains constituted four new species of the genus Microbacterium. In addition, some Microbacterium type strains were reclassified as members of preexisting species. Moreover, some of them were embedded in a new genus of the family Microbacteriaceae based on their distinct separation in the core genome-based phylogenetic tree and amino acid identity matrices. Based on the results here, four new species, namely, Microbacterium aurugineum sp. nov., Microbacterium croceum sp. nov., Microbacterium galbinum sp. nov., and Microbacterium sufflavum sp. nov., are described, along with the proposal of Paramicrobacterium gen. nov. containing five reclassified Microbacterium species from the "Microbacterium agarici clade", with Paramicrobacterium agarici gen. nov., comb. nov. as the type species.

[PMID: 38138115 PMCID: PMC10745995 DOI: 10.3390/microorganisms11122972] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/24/2023] [Revised: 11/30/2023] [Accepted: 12/10/2023] [Indexed: 12/24/2023] Open
Abstract
The bacterial strain WB46 was isolated from the rhizosphere of willow plants (Salix purpurea L.) growing in soil contaminated with petroleum hydrocarbons. The strain was subjected to whole-genome shotgun sequencing using Illumina HiSeq. Its draft genome is 7.15 Mb, with a 69.55% GC content, containing 6387 protein-coding genes and 51 tRNA and 15 rRNA sequences. The quality and reliability of the genome were assessed using CheckM, attaining an estimated genome completeness of 98.75% and an estimated contamination of 1.68%. These results indicate a high-quality genome (>95%) and low contamination (<5%). Many of these genes are responsible for petroleum hydrocarbon degradation, such as alkane 1-monooxygenase (alkB) and naphthalene dioxygenase (ndo). 16S rRNA gene analysis, including in silico DNA-DNA hybridization (DDH) and average nucleotide identity (ANI), showed that strain WB46 belongs to the genus Nocardia, and the most closely related species is Nocardia asteroides. The strain WB46 showed a distance of 63.4% and sequence identity of 88.63%, respectively. These values fall below the threshold levels of 70% and 95%, respectively, suggesting that the strain WB46 is a new species. We propose the name of Nocardia canadensis sp. nov. for this new species. Interestingly, the sequence divergence of the 16S rRNA gene showed that the divergence only occurred in the V2 region. Therefore, the conventional V3-V4, V5-V7, or V8-V9 targeting metabarcoding, among others, would not be able to assess the diversity related to this new species.

Abstract
A novel actinomycete, designated RD004123T, was isolated from a soil sample collected in Hokkaido, Japan, and its taxonomic position was investigated by a polyphasic approach. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequence comparisons revealed that strain RD004123T fell within the cluster of the family Micromonosporaceae but did not form a reliable cluster with any member of the family. The similarity values between strain RD004123T and the type species of 29 genera in the family Micromonosporaceae were 91.7-97.7 %. Meanwhile, phylogenomic analyses indicated that strain RD004123T was closely related to members of the genus Phytohabitans. Strain RD004123T contained both meso-diaminopimelic acid and l-lysine as the diagnostic diamino acids of the peptidoglycan. The predominant isoprenoid quinones were MK-10(H8) and MK-10(H6), and the major fatty acids were anteiso-C17 : 0, iso-C16 : 0, iso-C15 : 0 and C17 : 0. The detected polar lipids were phosphatidylinositol mannosides, phosphatidylinositol, phosphatidylethanolamine and diphosphatidylglycerol. These chemotaxonomic features corresponded to those of the genus Phytohabitans. Meanwhile, the results of genome comparison analyses and phenotypic characterizations distinguished strain RD004123T from the other members of the genus Phytohabitans. Therefore, strain RD004123T should be assigned as representing a novel species of the genus Phytohabitans, for which the name Phytohabitans aurantiacus sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is RD004123T (=NBRC 114997T=DSM 114330T).

Abstract
Two novel Micromonospora strains, STR1-7T and STR1S-6T, were isolated from the rhizosphere of a Parastrephia quadrangularis plant growing in the Salar de Tara region of the Atacama Desert, Chile. Chemotaxonomic, cultural and phenotypic features confirmed that the isolates belonged to the genus Micromonospora. They grew from 20 to 37 °C, from pH7 to 8 and in the presence of up to 3 %, w/v NaCl. The isolates formed distinct branches in Micromonospora gene trees based on 16S rRNA gene sequences and on a multi-locus sequence analysis of conserved house-keeping genes. A phylogenomic tree generated from the draft genomes of the isolates and their closest phylogenetic neighbours showed that isolate STR1-7T is most closely related to Micromonospora orduensis S2509T, and isolate STR1S-6 T forms a distinct branch that is most closely related to 12 validly named Micromonospora species, including Micromonospora saelicesensis the earliest proposed member of the group. The isolates were separated from one another and from their closest phylogenomic neighbours using a combination of chemotaxonomic, genomic and phenotypic features, and by low average nucleotide index and digital DNA-DNA hybridization values. Consequently, it is proposed that isolates STR1-7T and STR1S-6T be recognized as representing new species in the genus Micromonospora, namely as Micromonospora parastrephiae sp. nov. and Micromonospora tarensis sp. nov.; the type strains are STR1-7T (=CECT 9665T=LMG 30768T) and STR1S-6T (=CECT 9666T=LMG 30770T), respectively. Genome mining showed that the isolates have the capacity to produce novel specialized metabolites, notably antibiotics and compounds that promote plant growth, as well as a broad-range of stress-related genes that provide an insight into how they cope with harsh abiotic conditions that prevail in high-altitude Atacama Desert soils.

Nonomuraea corallina sp. nov., isolated from coastal sediment in Samila Beach, Thailand: insights into secondary metabolite synthesis as anticancer potential. Front Microbiol 2023; 14:1226945. [PMID: 38053561 PMCID: PMC10694255 DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2023.1226945] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/22/2023] [Accepted: 10/23/2023] [Indexed: 12/07/2023] Open
Abstract
A novel marine actinomycete, designated strain MCN248T, was isolated from the coastal sediment in Songkhla Province, Thailand. Based on the 16S rRNA gene sequences, the new isolate was closely related to Nonomuraea harbinensis DSM45887T (99.2%) and Nonomuraea ferruginea DSM43553T (98.6%). Phylogenetic analyzes based on the 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain MCN248T was clustered with Nonomuraea harbinensis DSM45887T and Nonomuraea ferruginea DSM43553T. However, the digital DNA-DNA hybridization analyzes presented a low relatedness of 40.2% between strain MCN248T and the above closely related strains. This strain contained meso-diaminopimelic acid. The acyl type of the peptidoglycan was acetyl, and mycolic acids were absent. The major menaquinones were MK-9(H2) and MK-9(H4). The whole cell sugars consisted of madurose, ribose, mannose, and glucose. Diphosphatidylglycerol, hydroxyl-phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylinositol, and phosphatidylglycerol were detected as the major phospholipids. The predominant cellular fatty acids were iso-C16:0 (40.4%), 10-methyl-C17:0 (22.1%), and C17:1ω 8c (10.9%). The DNA G + C content of the genomic DNA was 71.7%. With in silico analyzes, the antiSMASH platform uncovered a diverse 29 secondary metabolite biosynthesis arsenal, including non-ribosomal peptide synthetase (NRPS) and polyketide synthase (PKS) of strain MCN248T, with a high prevalence of gene cluster encoding pathways for the production of anticancer and cytotoxic compounds. Consistently, the crude extract could inhibit colorectal HCT-116 cancer cells at a final concentration of 50 μg/mL. Based on the polyphasic approach, strain MCN248 was designated as a novel species of the genus Nonomuraea, for which the name Nonomuraea corallina sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of the type species is MCN248T (=NBRC115966T = TBRC17110T).

Abstract
IMPORTANCE A robust taxonomy is essential for the organized study of prokaryotes and the effective communication of microbial knowledge. The genus rank is the mainstay of biological classification as it brings together under a common name a group of closely related organisms sharing the same recent ancestry and similar characteristics. Despite the unprecedented resolution afforded by whole-genome sequencing in defining evolutionary relationships, a consensus approach for phylogenomics-based prokaryotic genus delineation remains elusive. Taxonomists use different demarcation criteria, sometimes leading to genus rank over-splitting and the creation of multiple new genera. This work reports a simple, reliable, and standardizable method that seeks to minimize subjectivity in genomics-based demarcation of prokaryotic genera, exemplified through application to the order Mycobacteriales. Formal descriptions of proposed taxonomic changes based on our study are included.

In Vitro Biofilm-Mediated Biodegradation of Pesticides and Dye-Contaminated Effluents Using Bacterial Biofilms. Microorganisms 2023; 11:2163. [PMID: 37764007 PMCID: PMC10535849 DOI: 10.3390/microorganisms11092163] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/10/2023] [Revised: 08/04/2023] [Accepted: 08/22/2023] [Indexed: 09/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Overuse of pesticides in agricultural soil and dye-polluted effluents severely contaminates the environment and is toxic to animals and humans making their removal from the environment essential. The present study aimed to assess the biodegradation of pesticides (cypermethrin (CYP) and imidacloprid (IMI)), and dyes (malachite green (MG) and Congo red (CR)) using biofilms of bacteria isolated from pesticide-contaminated soil and dye effluents. Biofilms of indigenous bacteria, i.e., Bacillus thuringiensis 2A (OP554568), Enterobacter hormaechei 4A (OP723332), Bacillus sp. 5A (OP586601), and Bacillus cereus 6B (OP586602) individually and in mixed culture were tested against CYP and IMI. Biofilms of indigenous bacteria i.e., Lysinibacillus sphaericus AF1 (OP589134), Bacillus sp. CF3 (OP589135) and Bacillus sp. DF4 (OP589136) individually and in mixed culture were tested for their ability to degrade dyes. The biofilm of a mixed culture of B. thuringiensis + Bacillus sp. (P7) showed 46.2% degradation of CYP compared to the biofilm of a mixed culture of B. thuringiensis + E. hormaechei + Bacillus sp. + B. cereus (P11), which showed significantly high degradation (70.0%) of IMI. Regarding dye biodegradation, a mixed culture biofilm of Bacillus sp. + Bacillus sp. (D6) showed 86.76% degradation of MG, which was significantly high compared to a mixed culture biofilm of L. sphaericus + Bacillus sp. (D4) that degraded only 30.78% of CR. UV-VIS spectroscopy revealed major peaks at 224 nm, 263 nm, 581 nm and 436 nm for CYP, IMI, MG and CR, respectively, which completely disappeared after treatment with bacterial biofilms. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) analysis showed the appearance of new peaks in degraded metabolites and disappearance of a peak in the control spectrum after biofilm treatment. Thin layer chromatography (TLC) analysis also confirmed the degradation of CYP, IMI, MG and CR into several metabolites compared to the control. The present study demonstrates the biodegradation potential of biofilm-forming bacteria isolated from pesticide-polluted soil and dye effluents against pesticides and dyes. This is the first report demonstrating biofilm-mediated bio-degradation of CYP, IMI, MG and CR utilizing soil and effluent bacterial flora from Multan and Sheikhupura, Punjab, Pakistan.

Abstract
Speleothems found in caves worldwide are considered the natural libraries of paleontology. Bacteria found in these ecosystems are generally limited to Proteobacteria and Actinomycetota, but rare microbiome and "Dark Matter" is generally under-investigated and often neglected. This research article discusses, for the first time to our knowledge, the diachronic diversity of Actinomycetota entrapped inside a cave stalactite. The planet's environmental microbial community profile of different eras can be stored in these refugia (speleothems). These speleothems could be an environmental "Microbial Ark" storing rare microbiome and "Dark Matter" bacterial communities evermore.

Abstract
A novel actinobacterium, designated strain SMC 277T, was isolated from the clay soil in paddy field of Chonburi Province, Thailand, and characterized using polyphasic taxonomy. Strain SMC 277T formed straight chains of nonmotile cylindrical spores with smooth surface developed on aerial mycelia. The typical chemotaxonomic properties of members of the genus Streptomyces were observed in strain SMC 277T, e.g., cell wall peptidoglycan, whole cell sugars, major menaquinones, cellular fatty acids, and polar lipids. Chemotaxonomic data combined with mycelium and spore morphologies supported the assignment of strain SMC 277T to the genus Streptomyces. The results of comparative analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequences confirmed that strain SMC 277T represented a member of the genus Streptomyces. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strain SMC 277T shared the highest sequence similarity with Streptomyces bambusae NBRC 110903T (98.8%). Genome sequencing revealed a genome size of 6.55 Mbp and a digital G+C content of 73.4 mol%. In addition to the differences in phenotypic characteristics (morphology and physiology), values of ANI (ANIb and ANIm), AAI and dDDH between strain SMC 277T and its closest relative S. bambusae NBRC 110903T were 81.84, 86.77, 76.91 and 26.1%, respectively. Genome annotation and secondary metabolite gene cluster analysis predicted that SMC 277T contained 35 biosynthetic gene clusters encoding diverse bioactive secondary metabolites. It is in agreement with observed antimicrobial activity against drug-resistant bacteria associated with nosocomial infections (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, extended-spectrum β-lactamase producing Klebsiella pneumoniae, and multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii). On the basis of these genotypic and phenotypic characteristics, strain SMC 277T can be characterized to represent a novel species of the genus Streptomyces, for which the name Streptomyces antimicrobicus is proposed. The type strain is SMC 277T (= TBRC 15568T = NBRC 115422T).

Abstract
Strain KLBMP 9083T, a novel actinobacterium, was isolated from weathered soils collected from a karst area in Anshun, Guizhou Province, PR China. The taxonomic position of strain KLBMP 9083T was studied using the polyphasic approach. Phylogenetic analysis based on the 16S rRNA gene sequence indicated that strain KLBMP 9083T formed a stabilized monophyletic clade with its closest relative strain Antribacter gilvus CGMCC 1.13856T (98.4 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity). The peptidoglycan hydrolysates contained alanine, glutamic acid, threonine and lysine. The polar lipids were composed of diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylinositol, phosphatidylinositol mannoside, an unidentified phosphoglycolipid, an unidentified phospholipid and an unidentified glycolipid. The predominant menaquinones were MK-9(H8) (87.1 %), MK-9(H6) (7.3 %) and MK-9(H4) (5.6 %). The major fatty acids (>10 %) were anteiso-C15 : 0 and iso-C15 : 0. The genomic DNA G+C content was 72.3 mol%. The digital DNA-DNA hybridization and average nucleotide identity values between strain KLBMP 9083T and A. gilvus CGMCC 1.13856T were 23.4 and 79.9 %, respectively. On the basis of morphological, chemotaxonomic and phylogenetic characteristics, strain KLBMP 9083T represents a novel species of the genus Antribacter, for which the name Antribacter soli sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is KLBMP 9083T (=CGMCC 4.7737T=NBRC 115577T).

Abstract
During our previous study, strain NEAU-J3T was classified as representing a novel genus 'Wangella' within the family Micromonosporaceae. Nevertheless, it is a great pity the name cannot be validated as the proposed genus name is illegitimate (Principle 2 of the ICNP). In this study, we describe Jidongwangia as a novel genus within the family Micromonosporaceae and a polyphasic approach was used to provide evidence to support the classification. The G+C content of the genomic DNA of the type strain is 71.6 %. Digital DNA-DNA hybridization and average nucleotide identity (ANI) values could be used to differentiate NEAU-J3T from its related type strains. The phenotypic, genetic and chemotaxonomic data also indicated that NEAU-J3T occupies a branch separated from those of known genera in the family Micromonosporaceae. Therefore, NEAU-J3T represents a novel species of a novel genus in the family Micromonosporaceae, for which the name Jidongwangia harbinensis gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of Jidongwangia harbinensis is NEAU-J3T (= CGMCC 4.7039T = DSM 45747T).

Comparative Genomic Analysis of the Hydrocarbon-Oxidizing Dibenzothiophene-Desulfurizing Gordonia Strains. Microorganisms 2022; 11:microorganisms11010004. [PMID: 36677296 PMCID: PMC9861168 DOI: 10.3390/microorganisms11010004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/28/2022] [Revised: 12/16/2022] [Accepted: 12/16/2022] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
A number of actinobacteria of the genus Gordonia are able to use dibenzothiophene (DBT) and its derivatives as the only source of sulfur, which makes them promising agents for the process of oil biodesulfurization. Actinobacteria assimilate sulfur from condensed thiophenes without breaking the carbon-carbon bonds, using the 4S pathway encoded by the dszABC operon-like structure. The genome of the new dibenzothiophene-degrading hydrocarbon-oxidizing bacterial strain Gordonia amicalis 6-1 was completely sequenced and the genes potentially involved in the pathways of DBT desulfurization, oxidation of alkanes and aromatic compounds, as well as in the osmoprotectant metabolism in strain 6-1 and other members of the genus Gordonia, were analyzed. The genome of G. amicalis strain 6-1 consists of a 5,105,798-bp circular chromosome (67.3% GC content) and an 86,621-bp circular plasmid, pCP86 (65.4% GC content). This paper presents a comparative bioinformatic analysis of complete genomes of strain 6-1 and dibenzothiophene-degrading Gordonia strains 1D and 135 that do not have the dsz operon. The assumption is made about the participation in this process of the region containing the sfnB gene. Genomic analysis supported the results of phenomenological studies of Gordonia strains and the possibility of their application in the bioremediation of oil-contaminated environments and in the purification of oil equipment from oil and asphalt-resin-paraffin deposits.

Abstract
A Gram-negative, non-motile, aerobic bacterium, named 02-257T, was isolated from Antarctic soil. The cells are surrounded by relatively thin capsules and were catalase-positive and oxidase-negative cocci. Growth of strain 02-257T was observed at 4-35 °C (optimum, 28-30 °C), pH 6.0-8.0 (optimum, pH 6.0) and with 0-1.5% NaCl (optimum, 0 %). Strain 02-257 showed the highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity to Paraconexibacter algicola Seoho-28T (95.06 %). Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strain 02-257T is a member of a novel species belonging to the clade formed by members of the genus Paraconexibacter in the family Paraconexibacteraceae. The DNA G+C content was 72.9 mol%. Strain 02-257T contained C16 : 0-iso (23.0 %), C18 : 1 ω9c (13.8 %), C16 : 0 (12.5 %) and C17 : 1 ω9c-iso (10.8 %) as major cellular fatty acids and menaquinone MK-7(H4) was detected as the only isoprenoid quinone. Diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylinositol, phosphatidylinositole mannoside, phosphatidylinositole dimannoside, unidentified phosphoglycolipid, unidentified aminophospholipid, two unidentified phospholipids, three unidentified aminolipids and six unidentified lipids were the major polar lipids. meso-Diaminopimelic acids were the diagnostic diamino acids in the cell-wall peptidoglycan. On the basis of phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and phylogenetic data, strain 02-257T is considered to represent a novel species of the genus Paraconexibacter, for which the name Paraconexibacter antarcticus sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is 02-257T (=CCTCC AB 2021030T=KCTC 49619T).

Abstract
The integration of genomic information into microbial systematics along with physiological and chemotaxonomic parameters provides for a reliable classification of prokaryotes. In silico analysis of chemotaxonomic traits is now being introduced to replace characteristics traditionally determined in the laboratory with the dual goal of both increasing the speed of the description of taxa and the accuracy and consistency of taxonomic reports. Genomics has already successfully been applied in the taxonomic rearrangement of Geodermatophilaceae (Actinomycetota) but in the light of new genomic data the taxonomy of the family needs to be revisited. In conjunction with the taxonomic characterisation of four strains phylogenetically located within the family, we conducted a phylogenetic analysis of the whole proteomes of the sequenced type strains and established genotype-phenotype correlations for traits related to chemotaxonomy, cell morphology and metabolism. Results indicated that the four isolates under study represent four novel species within the genus Blastococcus. Additionally, the genera Blastococcus, Geodermatophilus and Modestobacter were shown to be paraphyletic. Consequently, the new genera Trujillonella, Pleomorpha and Goekera were proposed within the Geodermatophilaceae and Blastococcus endophyticus was reclassified as Trujillonella endophytica comb. nov., Geodermatophilus daqingensis as Pleomorpha daqingensis comb. nov. and Modestobacter deserti as Goekera deserti comb. nov. Accordingly, we also proposed emended descriptions of Blastococcus aggregatus, Blastococcus jejuensis, Blastococcus saxobsidens and Blastococcus xanthilyniticus. In silico chemotaxonomic results were overall consistent with wet-lab results. Even though in silico discriminatory levels varied depending on the respective chemotaxonomic trait, this approach is promising for effectively replacing and/or complementing chemotaxonomic analyses at taxonomic ranks above the species level. Finally, interesting but previously overlooked insights regarding morphology and ecology were revealed by the presence of a repertoire of genes related to flagellum synthesis, chemotaxis, spore production and pilus assembly in all representatives of the family. A rich carbon metabolism including four different CO2 fixation pathways and a battery of enzymes able to degrade complex carbohydrates were also identified in Blastococcus genomes.

Abstract
The family
Streptomycetaceae
is a large and diverse family within the phylum
Actinomycetota
. The members of the family are known for their ability to produce medically important secondary metabolites, notably antibiotics. In this study, 19 type strains showing low 16S rRNA gene similarity (<97.3 %) to other members of the family
Streptomycetaceae
were identified and their high genetic diversity was reflected in a phylogenomic analysis using conserved universal proteins. This analysis resulted in the identification of six distinct genus-level clades, with two separated from the genus
Streptacidiphilus
and four separated from the genus
Streptomyces
. Compared with members of the genera
Streptacidiphilus
and
Streptomyces
, average amino acid identity (AAI) analysis of the novel genera identified gave values within the range of 63.9–71.3 %, as has been previously observed for comparisons of related but distinct bacterial genera. The whole-genome phylogeny was reconstructed using PhyloPhlAn 3.0 based on an optimized subset of conserved universal proteins, the results of AAI and percentage of conserved proteins (POCP) analyses indicated that these phylogenetically distinct taxa may be assigned to six novel genera, namely Actinacidiphila gen. nov., Mangrovactinospora gen. nov., Peterkaempfera gen. nov., Phaeacidiphilus gen. nov., Streptantibioticus gen. nov. and Wenjunlia gen. nov.

Abstract
A genome led phylophasic study was designed to determine the taxonomic status of a strain, DSM 45956, recovered from a Saharan desert soil. A wealth of taxonomic data, including average nucleotide identity and DNA:DNA hybridization (DDH) values, showed that the isolate and the type strains of Actinopolyspora lacussalsi and Actinopolyspora righensis belong to the same species. Consequently, it is proposed that A. righensis is a heterotypic synonym of A. lacussalsi. Similarly, DDH values and associated phenotypic data show that A. lacussalsi contains two subspecies, A. lacussalsi subsp. lacussalsi and A. lacussalsi subsp. righensis which includes isolate DSM 45956.

Abstract
A Gram-stain-positive, aerobic actinobacterium, designated strain NEAU-24T, was isolated from saline-alkali soil collected from Daqing City, Heilongjiang Province, PR China. Strain NEAU-24T was found to produce abundant substrate mycelia but no aerial hyphae. The substrate mycelia formed irregular pseudosporangia consisting of nuciform spores, and the surface of the spores was smooth. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis showed that strain NEAU-24T clustered with Pseudosporangium ferrugineum 3-44-a(19)T, Couchioplanes caeruleus subsp. azureus DSM 44103T and C. caeruleus subsp. caeruleus DSM 43634T within the family Micromonosporaceae and was most closely related to P. ferrugineum 3-44-a(19)T (99.17 %). The strain contained meso-diaminopimelic acid as the cell-wall diamino acid and MK-9(H6) as the menaquinone. The whole cell sugar profile consisted of glucose, galactose, xylose and arabinose. The polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, an unidentified phospholipid, phosphatidylinositol and an unidentified lipid. The major fatty acids were summarized as C16 : 0, C15 : 0, C17 : 0, iso-C16 : 0 and iso-C17 : 0. The low digital DNA–DNA hybridization and average nucleotide identity values could differentiate strain NEAU-24T from its related type strains. The phenotypic, genetic and chemotaxonomic data also indicated that strain NEAU-24T occupied a branch separated from those of known genera in the family Micromonosporaceae. In addition, genomic analysis confirmed that strain NEAU-24T had the potential to produce chitinase. Therefore, strain NEAU-24T represents a novel species of a new genus and species in the family Micromonosporaceae, for which the name Nucisporomicrobium flavum gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of Nucisporomicrobium flavum is NEAU-24T (=CCTCC AA 2020016T=JCM 33973T).

Abstract
A novel Gram-stain positive, aerobic, non-motile actinobacterium, designated strain K220T, was isolated from soil collected from Cape Andreas (Zafer Burnu), Northern Cyprus, and subjected to a polyphasic taxonomic approach. The organism was shown to have phylogenetic, chemotaxonomic, cultural and morphological properties consistent with its classification in the genus Saccharopolyspora. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis of strain K220T showed that it is closely related to the type strains of Saccharopolyspora maritima 3SS5-12 T, Saccharopolyspora kobensis JCM 9109 T and Saccharopolyspora hirsuta ATCC 27875 T with 97.6, 97.5 and 97.0% sequence similarity, respectively. In silico DNA-DNA hybridization and average nucleotide identity values between strain K220T and type strains of the genus Saccharopolyspora with publicly available genomes were 22.1-31.2% and 76.0-83.16%, respectively. The DNA G + C content of strain K220T was 68.3 mol%. The genome of strain K220T has genes associated with 24 biosynthetic gene clusters. The strain contained MK-9(H4) and iso-C16: 0 as the predominant respiratory quinone and fatty acid, respectively. The major polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylcholine. Based on evidence collected from the genotypic, phenotypic and phylogenetic analyses, strain K220T is considered to represent a novel species in the genus Saccharopolyspora, for which the name Saccharopolyspora soli sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is K220T (= JCM 33912T = KCTC 49395T).

Abstract
<b>Background and Objective:</b> Actinobacteria represent the most prominent group of microorganisms, which produce a vast number of bioactive compounds especially antibiotics. The present study investigated the antibacterial activity of some actinomycete isolates against <i>Ralstonia solanacearum</i> type 3 biovar 2 (phytopathogenic bacterium that causes tomato wilt disease and brown rot of potatoes). <b>Materials and Methods:</b> The most potent actinomycete isolates in the antibacterial activity was further identified up to species based on its phenotypic and molecular characteristics. Additionally, the most suitable carbon and nitrogen sources for increasing the antibacterial activity were also investigated. <b>Results:</b> Interestingly, <i>Streptomyces </i>isolate MSQ21 achieved the highest antibacterial activity against <i>R. solanacearum</i> with an inhibition zone of 18 mm. 16S rRNA gene analysis suggested that <i>Streptomyces </i>MSQ21 was identified as a strain of <i>S. maritimus</i> Glycerol (2.25%, w/v) and (NH<sub>4</sub>)<sub>2</sub>SO<sub>4</sub> (0.13%, w/v) were the most suitable carbon and nitrogen sources for increasing the antibacterial activity. <b>Conclusion:</b> It could be concluded that the maximum antibacterial activity (30mm) produced by <i>S. maritimus </i>strain MSQ21 against <i>R. solanacearum </i>could be obtained by using the modified starch nitrate medium containing (g L<sup>1</sup>): Glycerol, 25: Ammonium sulphate, 1.6: Dipotassium hydrogen phosphate, 1: Magnesium sulphate, 0.5: Sodium chloride, 0.5: Calcium carbonate, 3: Ferrous sulphate and 0.01: Distilled water up to 1 L and under the following conditions: Temperature 30°C, agitation speed 250 rpm, inoculum size 1-50 mL medium, incubation period 4 days and pH 8.5.

TOXICS 2022; 10:toxics10030117. [PMID: 35324742 PMCID: PMC8953465 DOI: 10.3390/toxics10030117] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/10/2022] [Revised: 02/24/2022] [Accepted: 02/25/2022] [Indexed: 12/10/2022]
Abstract
The discovery of biomarkers for assessing soil health requires the exploration of organisms that can explain the core functions of soil and identification of species with major roles in these functions. However, identifying specific keystone markers within the soil microbiota is challenging. Next-generation sequencing (NGS)-based molecular-biological methods have revealed information on soil biodiversity; however, whether this biodiversity is related to soil health remains unclear. In this study, we performed NGS on grassland surface soil to compare the prokaryotic and eukaryotic genetic diversity to determine the chemical soil quality and examined markers associated with soil health. Microorganisms associated with the nitrogen cycle, bioremediation, plant pathogenicity, antibiotic production, and material degradation showed potential for use as markers. To propose a framework for soil health assessment, we not only used traditional indicators, such as chemical and physical measures, but also assessed metagenomics data of soil by land use to identify the major factors influencing the microbial structure in soil. Moreover, major keystone species were identified. Furthermore, the microbial genetic diversity of generally healthy surface soil, such as forests, farmland, and parks, was determined. These findings provide basic data for exploring soil health-related biomarkers.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recent studies highlighted the biosynthetic potential of nocardiae to produce diverse novel natural products comparable to that of Streptomyces, thereby making them an attractive source of new drug leads. Many of the 119 Nocardia validly named species were isolated from natural habitats but little is known about the diversity and the potential of the endophytic nocardiae of root nodule of actinorhizal plants. RESULTS The taxonomic status of an actinobacterium strain, designated ncl2T, was established in a genome-based polyphasic study. The strain was Gram-stain-positive, produced substrate and aerial hyphae that fragmented into coccoid and rod-like elements and showed chemotaxonomic properties that were also typical of the genus Nocardia. It formed a distinct branch in the Nocardia 16S rRNA gene tree and was most closely related to the type strains of Nocardia nova (98.6%), Nocardia jiangxiensis (98.4%), Nocardia miyuensis (97.8%) and Nocardia vaccinii (97.7%). A comparison of the draft genome sequence generated for the isolate with the whole genome sequences of its closest phylogenetic neighbours showed that it was most closely related to the N. jiangxiensis, N. miyuensis and N. vaccinii strains, a result underpinned by average nucleotide identity and digital DNA-DNA hybridization data. Corresponding taxogenomic data, including those from a pan-genome sequence analysis showed that strain ncl2T was most closely related to N. vaccinii DSM 43285T. A combination of genomic, genotypic and phenotypic data distinguished these strains from one another. Consequently, it is proposed that strain ncl2T (= DSM 110931T = CECT 30122T) represents a new species within the genus Nocardia, namely Nocardia alni sp. nov. The genomes of the N. alni and N. vaccinii strains contained 36 and 29 natural product-biosynthetic gene clusters, respectively, many of which were predicted to encode for a broad range of novel specialised products, notably antibiotics. Genome mining of the N. alni strain and the type strains of its closest phylogenetic neighbours revealed the presence of genes associated with direct and indirect mechanisms that promote plant growth. The core genomes of these strains mainly consisted of genes involved in amino acid transport and metabolism, energy production and conversion and transcription. CONCLUSIONS Our genome-based taxonomic study showed that isolate ncl2T formed a new centre of evolutionary variation within the genus Nocardia. This novel endophytic strain contained natural product biosynthetic gene clusters predicted to synthesize novel specialised products, notably antibiotics and genes associated with the expression of plant growth promoting compounds.

Abstract
A novel acid-tolerant actinobacterium (strain LPG 2T), which formed fragmented substrate mycelia, was isolated from bio-fertiliser of Musa spp. collected from Lampang Province, Thailand. Its morphological and chemotaxonomic properties, e.g., the presence of mycolic acid and MK-8 (H4ω-cycl) in the cells, showed that strain LPG 2T was a member of the genus Nocardia. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis revealed that this strain was closely related to Nocardia otitidiscaviarum NBRC 14405T (98.7 %). The low average nucleotide identity-blast and digital DNA-DNA hybridization values (<78.6 and <24.0 %, respectively), and several phenotypic differences between strain LPG 2T and its related Nocardia type strains, indicated that the strain merits classification as representing a novel species of the genus Nocardia, for which we propose the name Nocardia acididurans sp. nov. The type strain is LPG 2T (=TBRC 11242T=NBRC 114293T).

Abstract
A novel mycelium-forming actinomycete strain, designated YIM S01255T were isolated from a salt lake. Optimal growth occurred in the presence of 0-5.0% (w/v) NaCl, at pH 7.0-8.0, and at 37 °C. Strain YIM S01255T contained meso-diaminopimelic acid as the diagnostic diamino acid, and glucose, galactose and arabinose as the whole-cell sugars. The major fatty acid (> 5.0%) were iso-C16:0, iso-C16:1H and iso-C15:0. The major menaquinone were MK-9(H4) and MK-8(H4). The polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylmonomethylethanolamine, phosphatidylinositolmannoside and phosphatidylinositol. The DNA G + C content was 70.7 mol%. The 16S rRNA gene sequence of the strain showed high similarity to members of genera in the family Pseudonocardiaceae with values less than 95.8%, and most closely related to the genus Amycolatopsis. Both of phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences and the up-to-date bacterial genome sequences analysis revealed that strains YIM S01255T and Prauserella shujinwangii XJ46T formed a distinct monophyletic clade and was separated from the other members within the family Pseudonocardiaceae. The average nucleotide identity (ANI) values and digital DNA-DNA hybridization (dDDH) between the two strains were 81.0% and 40.6%, respectively. The distinctive polyphasic evidences differentiated YIM S01255T from members of the family Pseudonocardiaceae, so strain YIM S01255T is considered to represent a novel species of a novel genus of the family Pseudonocardiaceae, for which the name Qaidamihabitans albus gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of genus Qaidamihabitans is YIM S01255T (= KCTC 49476T = CGMCC 4.7684T). Moreover, Prauserella shujinwangii is also proposed to being transferred into the genus Qaidamihabitans as Qaidamihabitans shujinwangii comb. nov. (type strain XJ46T = CGMCC 4.7125T = JCM 19736T).

Abstract
A novel Gram-staining positive, aerobic, rod-shaped, non-motile and yellow-pigmented actinobacterium, designated strain WY83T, was isolated from a marine sediment of Indian Ocean. Strain WY83T grew optimally at 30-35 °C, pH 7-8 and with 0-3% (w/v) NaCl. The predominant menaquinones were MK-10, MK-11 and MK-12, and the major fatty acids were C19:1 ω9c/C19:1 ω11c, anteiso-C15:0, C17:0 3OH, and iso-C16:0. The polar lipids consisted of diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol and one unidentified glycolipid. The cell-wall peptidoglycan contained lysine as a diamino acid. The DNA G + C content was 72.3 mol%. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences and ninety-two bacterial core genes indicated that strain WY83T formed an evolutionary lineage with Chryseoglobus frigidaquae JCM 14730T, Chryseoglobus indicus CTD02-10-2T, Yonghaparkia alkaliphila JCM 15138T, Microcella alkaliphila DSM 18851T and Microcella putealis DSM 19627T within the radiation enclosing members of the family Microbacteriaceae. All pairwise percentage of conserved proteins between strain WY83T and the closely related phylogenetic neighbors were greater than 65%. The average nucleotide identity and in silico DNA-DNA hybridization values were both below the thresholds used for the delineation of a new species. On the basis of the evidence presented, strains WY83T, Y. alkaliphila JCM 15138T, C. frigidaquae JCM 14730T, M. alkaliphila DSM 18851T and M. putealis DSM 19627T should belong to different species of the same genus. Strain WY83T represents a novel species of the genus Microcella, for which the name Microcella flavibacter sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is WY83T (= KCTC 39637T = MCCC 1A07099T). Furthermore, Chryseoglobus frigidaquae, Chryseoglobus indicus, and Yonghaparkia alkaliphila were reclassified as Microcella frigidaquae comb. nov., Microcella indica nom. nov., and Microcella alkalica nom. nov., respectively.

Abstract
A yellow bacterial strain, designated LRZ-2T, was isolated from High Arctic tundra near the settlement Ny-Ålesund in the Svalbard Archipelago, Norway. The cells were Gram-stain-positive, aerobic and non-sporulating. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequence comparisons revealed that strain LRZ-2T represented a novel member of the suborder Micrococcineae. Its nearest phylogenetic neighbours were the members of the genus Luteimicrobium, with 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity of 95.3-96.9 %. The average nucleotide identity and digital DNA-DNA hybridization values between the genomes of strain LRZ-2T and its closely related strains were 77.4-74.3 % and 21.4-19.6 %, respectively. The DNA G+C content was 72.4 mol%. The peptidoglycan type of the isolate was A4β with an interpeptide bridge comprising l-ornithine and d-glutamic acid. The predominant menaquinone was MK-9 (H4) and the major fatty acids were anteiso-C15 : 0, C16 : 0, anteiso-C15 : 1 A, anteiso-C17 : 0 and iso-C15 : 0. The polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylinositol, phosphatidylinositol mannoside, phosphatidylinositol dimannoside, unidentified phosphoglycolipid, four unidentified phospholipids and two unidentified polar lipids. Strain LRZ-2T showed a 16S rRNA gene signature pattern consisting of nucleotides at positions 120 (A), 131-231 (C-G), 196 (C), 342-347 (C-G), 444-490 (A-U), 580-761 (C-G), 602-636 (C-G), 670-736 (A-U), 822-878 (G-C), 823-877 (G-C), 826-874 (C-G), 827 (U), 843 (C), 950-1231 (U-A), 1047-1210 (G-C), 1109 (C), 1145 (G), 1309-1328 (G-C), 1361 (G) and 1383 (C), which clearly distinguished it from all genera previously reported in the suborder Micrococcineae. On the basis of the phylogenetic, phenotypic and chemotaxonomic data, strain LRZ-2T is considered to represent a novel species of a new genus, for which the name Pengzhenrongella sicca gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of Pengzhenrongella sicca is LRZ-2T (=CCTCC AB 2012163T=DSM 100332T).

Abstract
Strain M2T was isolated from the beach of Cuxhaven, Wadden Sea, Germany, in course of a program to attain new producers of bioactive natural products. Strain M2T produces litoralimycin and sulfomycin-type thiopeptides. Bioinformatic analysis revealed a potential biosynthetic gene cluster encoding for the M2T thiopeptides. The strain is Gram-stain-positive, rod shaped, non-motile, spore forming, showing a yellow colony color and forms extensively branched substrate mycelium and aerial hyphae. Inferred from the 16S rRNA gene phylogeny strain M2T affiliates with the genus Streptomonospora. It shows 96.6% 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity to the type species Streptomonospora salina DSM 44593 T and forms a distinct branch with Streptomonospora sediminis DSM 45723 T with 97.0% 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity. Genome-based phylogenetic analysis revealed that M2T is closely related to Streptomonospora alba YIM 90003 T with a digital DNA-DNA hybridisation (dDDH) value of 26.6%. The predominant menaquinones of M2T are MK-10(H6), MK-10(H8), and MK-11(H6) (> 10%). Major cellular fatty acids are iso-C16:0, anteiso C17:0 and C18:0 10-methyl. The polar lipid profile consisted of diphosphatidylglycerol phosphatidyl glycerol, phosphatidylinositol, phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine, three glycolipids, two unknown phospholipids, and two unknown lipids. The genome size of type strain M2T is 5,878,427 bp with 72.1 mol % G + C content. Based on the results obtained from phylogenetic and chemotaxonomic studies, strain M2T (= DSM 106425 T = NCCB 100650 T) is considered to represent a novel species within the genus Streptomonospora for which the name Streptomonospora litoralis sp. nov. is proposed.

Abstract
A novel actinobacterial strain, designated 10F1D-1T, was isolated from soil sample collected from Futian mangrove nature reserve, China using of the in situ cultivation technique. Preliminary analysis based on the 16S rRNA gene sequence revealed that strain 10F1D-1T was the member of genus Schumannella with sharing highest sequence similarity (99.7%) to Schumannella luteola DSM 23141T. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences and core proteome consistently exhibited that strain 10F1D-1T formed a monophyletic clade with Schumannella luteola DSM 23141T. Comparative genomic analyses clearly separated strain 10F1D-1T from the only species of the genus Schumannella based on average nucleotide identity (ANI), average amino acid identity (AAI) and digital DNA-DNA hybridization (dDDH) values below the thresholds for species delineation. The genome of strain 10F1D-1T contains the biosynthetic gene clusters for osmoprotectants to adapt to the salt environment of mangrove. Strain 10F1D-1T also contains the biosynthetic gene clusters for bioactive compounds as secondary metabolites. On the basis of the polyphasic analysis, strain 10F1D-1T is considered to represent a novel species of the genus Schumannella, for which the name Schumannella soli sp. nov. (type strain 10F1D-1T = CGMCC1.16699T = JCM 33146T) is proposed.

Abstract
The frequent application of β cypermethrin in farming activity, causing severe soil and water contamination. Thus, finding a suitable microbial agent to degrade the toxic pesticide into less or nontoxic components is vital. Hence, β cypermethrin-resistant predominant bacteria from the pesticide-exposed surface of cotton leaves were isolated and optimized the growth conditions required for the significant degradation of β cypermethrin. Six dominant bacterial cultures were isolated from pesticide exposed cotton leaf samples, and among them, COL3 showed better tolerance to 6% of β cypermethrin than others. This COL3 was identified as Streptomyces toxytricini D2 through the 16S rRNA analysis. The suitable growth requirements of S. toxytricini D2 were optimized with various essential growth parameters to degrade β cypermethrin and the results showed that a significant degradation of β cypermethrin was observed at 35 °C, pH 8.0, 1.5% of inoculum, and nutritional factors like glycerol (20 mg L-1), ammonium sulfate (15 mg L-1), and calcium phosphates (10 mg L-1) were served as better carbon, nitrogen, and phosphate sources respectively. The degradation percentage and half-life of β cypermethrin were calculated as 80.71 ± 1.17% and 48.15 h respectively by S. toxytricini D2. The GC-MS analysis results showed that S. toxytricini D2 effectively degraded the β cypermethrin into 5 components such as methyl salicylate, phenol, phthalic acid, 3-phenoxy benzaldehyde, and 3-PBA. This is the first report, revealed that the S. toxytricini D2 belongs to the Actinobacteria has the potential to degrade the β cypermethrin into less or nontoxic metabolites under optimized conditions.

Abstract
Two bacterial strains, FWR-8T and CFWR-9T, were isolated from the gut of larvae of Protaetia brevitarsis seulensis that were raised at the National Institute of Agricultural Sciences, Wanju-gun, Republic of Korea. Both strains were strictly aerobic, Gram-stain-positive and non-motile. Strain FWR-8T possessed the highest sequence similarity (98.7 %) to that of Protaetiibacter intestinalis 2DFWR-13T and the phylogenetic tree revealed that strain FWR-8T formed a cluster with Ptb. intestinalis 2DFWR-13T. Pseudolysinimonas kribbensis MSL-13T and Lysinimonas yzui N7XX-4T shared a high 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity (97.8 %) and formed a cluster adjacent to the cluster that included Ptb. intestinalis 2DFWR-13T. The 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain CFWR-9T exhibited the highest similarity (97.7 %) to that of Agromyces binzhouensis OAct353T and the phylogenetic tree indicated that strain CFWR-9T formed one independent cluster with A. binzhouensis OAct353T that was within the radius of the genus Agromyces. The peptidoglycan type, major fatty acids, major menaquinones and total polar lipids of strain FWR-8T were characterized as type B1, iso-C16 : 0, anteiso-C15 : 0 and anteiso-C17 : 0, MK-15, MK-16 and MK-14, and diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, two unidentified glycolipids and one unidentified lipid, respectively. Those from strain CFWR-9T were type B1, iso-C16 : 0, anteiso-C15 : 0 and anteiso-C17 : 0, MK-11, MK-12 and MK-10, and diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, two unidentified glycolipids and one unidentified lipid, respectively. Based on the phenotypic and genotypic data, strains FWR-8T and CFWR-9T each represent a novel species within the genera Protaetiibacter and Agromyces, respectively. For these species, the names Protaetiibacter larvae sp. nov. and Agromyces intestinalis sp. nov. have been proposed, with the type strains FWR-8T (=KACC 19322T=NBRC 113051T) and CFWR-9T (=KACC 19306T=NBRC 113046T), respectively. Our results also justify a reclassification of Lysinimonas yzui as Pseudolysinimonas yzui comb. nov. and an emended description of the genus Pseudolysinimonas isprovided.

Abstract
A haloalkaliphilic hydrolytic actinobacterium, strain ACPA22T, was enriched and isolated in pure culture from saline alkaline soil (soda solonchak) in northeastern Mongolia. The isolate was facultatively alkaliphilic, growing at pH 6.5-10.5 (optimum at 7.3-9.0) and highly salt-tolerant, tolerating up to 3 M total Na+ as carbonates. The hydrolytic nature of ACPA22T was confirmed by two different growth-dependent methods and by the presence of multiple glycosidase-encoding genes in the genome. The 16S rRNA gene-based phylogenetic analysis demonstrated that strain ACPA22T formed a deep-branching lineage within the family Glycomycetaceae, with the highest sequence similarity value to Glycomyces buryatensis 18T (92.1 %) and Salininema proteolyticum Miq-4T (91.8 %). The average amino acid identity values (56.1-61.5 %) between ACPA22T and other Glycomycetaceae members with available genomes did not exceed the threshold reported for different genera. The cell wall of ACPA22T contained meso-diaminopimelic acid, glycine, glutamic acid and alanine in a molar ratio, characteristic of the peptidoglycan type A1γ'. The whole-cell sugars included mannose, galactose, arabinose, ribose and xylose. The major menaquinones were MK-10(Н4) and MK-11(Н4). The identified polar lipids were represented by phosphatidylethanolamine, diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylinositol and phosphatidylinositol mannosides. In addition, the strain had a few unidentified characteristic polar lipids, including an amine-containing phospholipid with chromatographic mobility similar to that of phosphatidylinositol. The polar lipid fatty acids were dominated by anteiso-C17 : 0 and iso-C16 : 0. The genome included a chromosome of 3.94 Mbp (G+C content 61.5 mol%) encoding 3285 proteins and two plasmids of 59.8 and 14.8 kBp. Based on the data obtained in this study, a new genus and species, Natronoglycomyces albus gen. nov., sp. nov, is proposed with the type strain ACPA22T (=DSM 106290T=VKM Ac-2771T).

Abstract
A Gram-stain-positive, yellow, aerobic, slender rod-shaped bacterial strain, designated KN1116T, was isolated from a deep-sea seamount. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequence showed that strain KN1116T was related to the genus Chryseoglobus and had highest 16S rRNA gene sequence identity with Chryseoglobus frigidaquae CW1T (98.5%). The predominant cellular fatty acids were anteiso-C15:0 and iso-C16:0. The quinone system for strain KN1116T comprised menaquinone MK-12, MK-11, MK-10 and MK-13. The polar lipid profile contained diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, six unknown glycolipids, two unidentified phospholipids and one unknown polar lipid. The cell-wall peptidoglycan of strain KN1116T was of the type B1β, containing 2,4-diaminobutyric acid as the diamino acid. Genome sequencing revealed the strain KN1116T has a genome size of 2.7 Mbp and a G+C content of 69.4 mol%. Based on phenotypic, chemotaxonomic, phylogenetic and genomic data, strain KN1116T represents a novel species of a novel genus of the family Microbacteriaceae, for which the name Marinisubtilis pacificus gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of Marinisubtilis pacificus is KN1116T (=CGMCC 1.17143T =KCTC 49299T).

Abstract
One thermophilic bacterium, designated strain SYSU G02662T, was isolated from hot spring sediment sampled in Tibet, PR China. Polyphasic taxonomic analyses and whole-genome sequencing were used to determine the taxonomy position of the strain. Phylogenetic analysis using 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strain SYSU G02662T showed the highest sequence similarity to Actinomarinicola tropica SCSIO 58843T (95.1 %). The strain could be differentiated from other species of the family Iamiaceae by its distinct phenotypic and genotypic characteristics. Cells of strain SYSU G02662T were aerobic, Gram-staining-positive and short rodshaped. Growth occurred optimally at 45 °C and pH 7.0. In addition, meso-diaminopimelic acid was the diagnostic diamino acid in the cell-wall peptidoglycan. The respiratory quinone was MK-9 (H8), while the major fatty acids (>10 %) were C16 : 0, C17 : 0, C18 : 0 and iso-C16 : 0. The detected polar lipids included diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylinositol mannoside and phosphatidylinositol. The G+C content of the genomic DNA was 70.5 % based on the draft genomic sequence. On the basis of phenotypic, genotypic and phylogenetic data, strain SYSU G02662T represents a novel species of a novel genus in the family Iamiaceae, for which the name Rhabdothermincola sediminis gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of the proposed novel species is SYSU G02662T (=CGMCC 4.7688T=KCTC 49500T).

Abstract
A Gram-positive, smooth, sub-transparent, faint yellow,0.5-0.7 µm diameter, rod shaped aerobic or facultative aerobic strain P40-2Twas isolated from livestock farms in Northeast China. Strain P40-2T grew at 25-40 °C (optimum 30-38 °C), and in 0-4% (w/v) NaCl (optimum 0%) in LB medium. Based on 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, strain P40-2T belongs to the class Cellulomonas and is most closely related to C. denverensis strain W6929, C. pakistanensis strain NCCP-11and C. hominis strain CE40.DNA-DNA hybridization rate of strain P40-2T was 29%, and the ANI with C.denverensisstrainW6929 was 85.33%. The genome is 3437431 bp long with a G + C content of 71.99%. Of the 3177 predicted genes, 3119 were protein-coding genes and 58 were RNA encoding genes. The chemotaxonomic data: menaquinone was MK-9(H4), anteiso-C15: 0, C16:0 and anteiso-C17: 0 were the major cellular fatty acids, and the main cell-wall amino acids were ornithine,alanine, glycine and glutamate. The cell wall peptidogly can sugars included glucose, rhamnose, galactose and mannose. The polar lipid present were DPG, PG, PE, and PIM. On the basis of DNA-DNA relatedness, phylogenetic position, complete genome sequence and physiological characteristics, strain P40-2T can be differentiated from other species of the genus Cellulomonas with validly published names and thus represents a novel species, for which the name Cellulomonas taurus is proposed. The type strain is Cellulomonas taurus P40-2T (= CGMCC No.1.17732T).The acute toxicity test in mice showed that LD50 of strain P40-2T was rather high with 1.5 × 1011 CFU/mouse, which indicated low pathogenicity. Drug susceptibility showed that strainP40-2T was resistant to most antibiotics and only sensitive to six antibiotics. Strain P40-2T contained a variety of hydrolytic enzymes including the ability to hydrolyze cellulose, β-glucan, chitin, xylan, and casein. Microbial flocculant MBF-P40 for sewage was prepared with strain P40-2T, after strain P40-2T was confirmed that had good flocculation effect. MBF-P40 was used to prepare flocculation rate of 99.40%. MBF-P40 treatmented sewage from eight different sources. Flocculation rate for pig farm wastewater was 96.07%, COD removal rate is 71.05%, ammonia nitrogen removal rate is 18.22%. The result shows that MBF-P40 has a good flocculation effect, and good prospect of development and application for wastewater treatment.

To reduce the environment pollution from the extensive use of tylosin (TYL), in this study, an antibiotic adaptive strategy was used to enhance the TYL tolerance of aerobic granular sludge (AGS) for the treatment of TYL wastewater. The results showed that the granulation process was enhanced after 30 days of operation. The TYL-tolerant AGS gradually formed and maintained a diameter of 1.2 mm, with the mixed liquor suspended solids (MLSS) of 6810 mg⋅L-1 and sludge volume index (SVI) of 26 mL⋅g-1. Meanwhile, the chemical oxygen demand (COD), NH4+-N, and total N removal effiencies could reach up to 92.9%, 91.7%, 88.5%, respectively. The average TYL removal rate was 85.5% with the effuent TYL of 1.45 mg⋅L-1. In addition, the microbial communities shifted significantly that Bacteroidetes and Proteobacteria dominated the phylm, and the Macellibacteroides was the major genus which might possess the anitibiotic resistance genes of TYL.

Abstract
A novel Gram-stain-positive, aerobic, cocci-shaped actinobacterium, designated YIM 75000T, was isolated from a soil sample collected from a dry-hot river valley in Yunnan Province, P.R. China. Growth was observed at 10-45 °C (optimal 37 °C), 0-8% (w/v) NaCl (optimal at 0-3% NaCl) and pH 6.0-8.0 (optimal at pH 7.3). The peptidoglycan contained LL-diaminopimelic acid, glycine, glutamic acid as well as alanine and its type was A3γ with an LL-Dpm-Gly interpeptide bridge. The major cellular fatty acids (> 10%) were C16:0, Summed In Feature 3 (C16:1 ω6c/C16:1 ω7c) and C17:1 ω8c. The predominant menaquinone was MK-9(H4). The major whole-cell sugars contained rhamnose, ribose, arabinose and mannose. The DNA G+C content was 77.0 mol%. The 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities of strain YIM 75000T with other species were less than 94%. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences and genome data, revealed that strain YIM 75000T together with the genus Motilibacter formed a distinct phylogenetic lineage within the phylum Actinobacteria, separating them from members of all orders. Strain YIM 75000T showed 73.4-73.7% average nucleotide identity and 19.5-19.7% digital DNA-DNA hybridization identity with the closely related genus Motilibacter. Based on the phenotypic, phylogenetic and chemotaxonomic data, it is proposed that the new isolate represents the nomenclature type of the novel species Vallicoccus soli gen. nov., sp. nov. (YIM 75000T = DSM 45377T = KCTC 49228T = CGMCC 1.13844T) which is the nomenclature type of the novel genus Vallicoccus gen. nov. within Vallicoccaceae fam. nov and Motilibacterales ord. nov in the phylum Actinobacteria. The family Vallicoccaceae fam. nov. and the order Motilibacterales (contains Vallicoccaceae fam. nov. and Motilibacteraceae Lee 2013) ord. nov. are formally proposed.

Abstract
Three novel Gram-positive, aerobic, chemoheterotrophic, motile, non-endospore-forming, orange-pigmented bacteria designated strains T13T, T90T and R8T were isolated from the Tabernas Desert biocrust (Almería, Spain). Cells of the three strains were coccus-shaped and occurred singly, in pairs or clusters. The three strains were oxidase-negative and catalase-positive, and showed a mesophilic, neutrophilic and non-halophilic metabolism. Based on the 16S rRNA gene sequences, the closest neighbours of strains T13T, T90T and R8T were Kineococcus aurantiacus IFO 15268T, Kineococcus gypseus YIM 121300T and Kineococcus radiotolerans SRS 30216T (98.5%, 97.1% and 97.9% gene sequence similarity, respectively). The genomes were sequenced, and have been deposited in the GenBank/EMBL/DDBJ databases under the accession numbers JAAALL000000000, JAAALM000000000 and JAAALN000000000, respectively, for strains T13T, T90T and R8T. The average nucleotide identity (ANIb) and digital DNA-DNA hybridization (dDDH) values confirmed their adscription to three new species within the genus Kineococcus. The genomic G + C content of strains T13T, T90T and R8T ranged from 75.1% to 76.3%. The predominant fatty acid of all three strains was anteiso-C15:0. According to a polyphasic study, strains T13T, T90T and R8T are representatives of three new species in the genus Kineococcus, for which names Kineococcus vitellinus sp. nov. (type strain T13T = CECT 9936T = DSM 110024T), Kineococcus indalonis sp. nov. (type strain T90T = CECT 9938T = DSM 110026T) and Kineococcus siccus sp. nov. (type strain R8T = CECT 9937T = DSM 110025T) are proposed.

Abstract
Two novel actinobacterial strains, designated as E257T and K478T, were isolated from hyper-arid soil samples collected in Cholistan Desert, Pakistan. Comparative analysis of 16S rRNA genes showed that strains E257T and K478T were assigned to the genus Motilibacter, being their closest relative M. rhizosphaerae RS-16T with 97.3% and 96.7% similarities, respectively. The sequence similarity between strain E257T and K478T was 98.9%. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences and phylogenomic analysis based on multiple genes of conserved core proteins exhibited that these two strains belonged to the genus Motilibacter and formed a robust cluster separated from the two type species of the genus Motilibacter. Average Nucleotide Identity (ANI), Average Amino acid Identity (AAI), digital DNA-DNA hybridization (dDDH) values and Percentage of Conserved Proteins (POCP) calculated from the complete genome sequences indicated strains E257T and K478T were assigned into genus Motilibacter but clearly separated from each other and from the other species of the genus Motilibacter with values below the thresholds for species delineation. The two isolates were found to have chemotaxonomic, cultural and morphological properties consistent with their classification in the genus Motilibacter and also confirmed the differentiation from their closest species. The obtained results demonstrated that strains E257T and K478T represent two novel species of the genus Motilibacter, for which the names Motilibacter desertisp. nov. (type strain E257T = JCM 33651T = CGMCC 1.17159T) and Motilibacter aurantiacus sp. nov. (type strain K478T =JCM 33652T =CGMCC 1.17229T) are proposed.

Characterization of Streptomyces Isolates Associated with Estuarine Fish Chanos chanos and Profiling of Their Antibacterial Metabolites-Crude-Extract. Int J Microbiol 2020; 2020:8851947.

Abstract
Streptomyces has been reported as an essential producer of bioactive substances, including antibiotics and other types of antimicrobials. This study investigated antibacterial-producing Streptomyces isolated from the gut of estuarine fish Chanos chanos, emphasizing screening for the producer of peptide-containing antibacterial compounds. Eighteen isolates were found during preliminary screening, in which four isolates showed the best antibacterial activities. Based on the morphological, physiological, and biochemical characterization, as well as 16S rRNA partial sequencing, all of the four isolates belonged to Streptomyces. Three isolates were suspected as novel isolate candidates based on homology presentations and phylogenetic tree analysis. Disk-diffusion assay of the metabolite-crude-extract from the isolates showed broad-spectrum inhibitory activities against Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923, Bacillus cereus ATCC 10876, Escherichia coli ATCC 25922, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa InaCC B52 with minimum inhibitory concentration and minimum bactericidal concentration ranging from 2.5-10 mg/mL and 5-10 mg/mL, respectively. The highest antibacterial activity with low MIC and MBC values was shown by isolate AIA-10. Qualitative HPLC profiling revealed that the metabolic-crude-extracts showed many peaks with intensive area at 210 and 214 nm, especially from SCA-11 and AIA-10, indicating the presence of peptide groups in the structure of the constituent compound. The results also suggested that crude extracts SCA-11 and AIA-10 had higher hydrophobicity properties than the other extracts. Further characterization of the active compound was needed to find out which compounds were responsible for the antibacterial activity. The results of this study indicated that some Streptomyces isolated from new environmental niches, i.e., gut of estuarine fish Chanos chanos, produce promising peptide-containing bioactive compounds.

Abstract
Two Gram-stain-positive, strictly aerobic, non-spore-forming actinobacterial strains, designated YC2-7T and YC5-17, were isolated from the Yongcheondonggul (larva cave) in Jeju, Republic of Korea and their taxonomic ranks were examined by a polyphasic approach. The 16S rRNA gene tree showed that the novel isolates occupied an independent position separated from recognized genera of the family Nocardiaceae. In the 92 core gene-based phylogenomic analysis, strain YC2-7T was loosely associated with the type strain of Aldersonia kummingensis with 66.2 % average amino acid identity. The 16S rRNA gene sequence simairity between the isolate and members of the family Nocardiaceae was below 96.7 %. The cell-wall peptidoglycan was meso-diaminopimelic acid as a diagnostic diamino acid. Whole-cell sugars consisted of arabinose, galactose and glucose. The predominant menaquinone was MK-8(H4, ω-cycl). The major polar lipids consisted of diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylinositol and phosphatidylinositol mannoside. The cellular fatty acids consisted mainly of saturated and unsaturated components with small amounts of tuberculostearic acid. Mycolic acids of 52-58 carbon atoms were present. The DNA G+C content of the genome was 63.8 mol%. On the basis of combination of morphological and chemotaxonomic differences, in addition to phylogenetic distinctness, the novel isolates are considered to constitute members of a novel species of a new genus in the family Nocardiaceae, for which the name Antrihabitans stalactiti gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is YC2-7T (=KACC 19965T=DSM 108733T).

Abstract
Background: The microbial community residing in the animal gastrointestinal tract play a crucial role in host health. Because of the high complexity of gut microbes, many microbes remain unclassified. Deciphering the role of each bacteria in health and diseases is only possible after its culture, identification, and characterization. During the culturomics study of feral chicken cecal sample, we cultured a possible novel strain SW165
T. Methods: For the possible novel strain SW165
T, phenotypic characterization was performed using colony morphology, Gram staining, growth in different temperature and pH and motility. Biochemical assays included carbon source utilization, enzymatic activity, cellular fatty acids and short chain fatty acid production. 16S rRNA sequencing and whole genome sequencing and comparison was performed for genetic analysis. Results: This strain was isolated from cecal content of feral chickens in Brookings, South Dakota, USA. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequence revealed that the closest valid neighbor was
Olsenella profusa DSM 13989
T (96.33% similarity) within the family
Atopobiaceae. Cells were Gram-strain-positive and obligately anaerobic bacilli in chains. The optimum temperature and pH for the growth of the microorganism were 37-45
oC and pH 6.0-7.5 respectively. This strain produced acetic acid as the primary fermentation product. Major fatty acids were C
12:0, C
14:0, C
14:0 DMA and summed feature 1 (C
13:1 at 12-13 and C
14:0 aldehyde). Strain SW165
T exhibited a genome size of 2.43 Mbp with a G+C content of 67.59 mol%, which is the second highest G+C content among members of the genus
Olsenella. The digital DNA-DNA hybridization and OrthoANI values between SW165
T and DSM 13989
T were only 17.6 ± 5.3 and 74.35%, respectively. Conclusion: Based on the phenotypic, biochemical, and genomic analyses, we propose the new species of the genus
Olsenella, and name it
Olsenella lakotia SW165
T sp. nov., (=DSM 107283 =CCOS 1887) as the type strain.

Abstract
A novel actinobacterial strain, designated 15TR583T, was isolated from a waterlogged acidic soil collected near the town of Trebon, Czech Republic, and was subjected to a polyphasic taxonomic characterization. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene and whole-genome sequences revealed that the organism forms an individual line of descent related to the orderStreptosporangiales, classActinomycetia. The strain shared highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity, yet of only 92.8%, withActinocorallia aureaIFO 14752T. The strain grew in white colonies of aerobic, Gram-stain-positive, unbranching substrate mycelium bearing single spores at hyphae tips. The major fatty acids (>10%) were iso-C16 : 0, C16 : 0, iso-C17 : 1ω9 and 10-methyl-C17 : 0. The fatty acid pattern differed from all patterns currently described for actinobacterial genera. The organism contained as major menaquinones MK9(H6) and MK9(H8), which differentiated it from other actinobacterial families. Polar lipids were composed of six unidentified glycolipids, an unidentified phosphoglycolipid, two unidentified phospholipids and two unidentified aminolipids. Whole-cell sugars contained galactose, xylose and arabinose as major components. The peptidoglycan type was A1γmeso-diaminopimelic acid. The genomic DNA G+C content was 69.7 mol%. The distinct phylogenetic position and unusual combination of chemotaxonomic characteristics justify the proposal ofTreboniagen. nov., with the type speciesTrebonia kvetiisp. nov. (type strain 15TR583T=CCM 8942T=DSM 109105T), withinTreboniaceaefam. nov.
