Abstract
The taxonomic and metabolic diversity of prokaryotes and their adaptability to extreme environmental parameters have allowed extremophiles to find their optimal living conditions under extreme conditions for one or more environmental parameters. Natural habitats abundant in extremophilic microorganisms are relatively rare in Hungary. Nevertheless, alkaliphiles and halophiles can flourish in shallow alkaline lakes (soda pans) and saline (solonetz) soils, where extreme weather conditions favor the development of unique bacterial communities. In addition, the hot springs and thermal wells that supply spas and thermal baths and provide water for energy use are suitable colonization sites for thermophiles and hyperthermophiles. Polyextremophiles, adapted to multiple extreme circumstances, can be found in the aphotic, nutrient-poor and radioactive hypogenic caves of the Buda Thermal Karst, among others. The present article reviews the organization, taxonomic composition, and potential role of different extremophilic bacterial communities in local biogeochemical cycles, based on the most recent studies on extremophiles in Hungary.

Two Novel Alkaliphilic Species Isolated from Saline-Alkali Soil in China: Halalkalibacter flavus sp. nov., and Halalkalibacter lacteus sp. nov. Microorganisms 2024; 12:950. [PMID: 38792780 PMCID: PMC11123755 DOI: 10.3390/microorganisms12050950] [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: 03/04/2024] [Revised: 04/29/2024] [Accepted: 05/03/2024] [Indexed: 05/26/2024] Open
Abstract
The degradation of farmland in China underscores the need for developing and utilizing saline-alkali soil. Soil health relies on microbial activity, which aids in the restoration of the land's ecosystem, and hence it is important to understand microbial diversity. In the present study, two Gram-stain-positive strains HR 1-10T and J-A-003T were isolated from saline-alkali soil. Preliminary analysis suggested that these strains could be a novel species. Therefore, the taxonomic positions of these strains were evaluated using polyphasic analysis. Phylogenetic and 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis indicated that these strains should be assigned to the genus Halalkalibacter. Cell wall contained meso-2,6-diaminopimelic acid. The polar lipids present in both strains were diphosphatidyl-glycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, and an unidentified phospholipid. The major fatty acids (>10%) were anteiso-C15:0, C16:0 and iso-C15:0. Average nucleotide identity and digital DNA#x2013;DNA hybridization values were below the threshold values (95% and 70%, respectively) for species delineation. Based on the above results, the strains represent two novel species of the genus Halalkalibacter, for which the names Halalkalibacter flavus sp. nov., and Halalkalibacter lacteus sp. nov., are proposed. The type strains are HR 1-10T (=GDMCC 1.2946T = MCCC 1K08312T = JCM 36285T), and J-A-003T (=GDMCC 1.2949T = MCCC 1K08417T = JCM 36286T).

Abstract
Currently, the genus Paracoccus comprises 76 recognized species. Members of Paracoccus are mostly isolated from environmental, animal, and plant sources. This report describes and proposes a novel species of Paracoccus isolated from clinical specimens of the human ocular surface. We isolated two aerobic, Gram-stain-negative, non-spore-forming, coccoid or short rod-shaped, and non-motile strains (designated DK398T and DK608) from conjunctival sac swabs of two healthy volunteers. The results showed that the strains grew best under the conditions of 28°C, pH 7.0, and 1.0 % (w/v) NaCl. Sequence analysis based on the 16S rRNA gene showed that strains DK398T and DK608 were members of Paracoccus, most similar to Paracoccus laeviglucosivorans 43PT (98.54 and 98.62 %), Paracoccus litorisediminis GHD-05T (98.34 and 98.41 %), and Paracoccus limmosus NB88T (98.21 and 98.29 %). Phenotypic analysis showed that DK398T and DK608 were positive for catalase and oxidase, negative for producing N-acetyl-β-glucosaminic acid, arginine dihydrolase, and β-glucuronidase but positive for leucine arylamidase. The predominant isoprenoid quinone was Q-10, and the major polar lipids included phosphatidylethanolamine, diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylcholine, and an unidentified glycolipid. The major fatty acids (>10%) were summed feature 8 (C18 : 1 ω7c and/or C18 : 1 ω6c) and C16 : 0. The meso-diaminopimelic acid was found in the cell wall peptidoglycan of DK398T. The major cell wall sugars were ribose and galactose. Based on the results of phylogenetic analyses, low (<83.22 %) average nucleotide identity, digital DNA-DNA hybridization (<26.0%), chemotaxonomic analysis, and physiological properties, strain DK398T represents a novel species of the genus Paracoccus, for which the name Paracoccus shanxieyensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is DK398T (=CGMCC 1.17227T=JCM 33719T).

Abstract
An alkaliphilic, Gram-stain-positive, non-motile, rod-shaped, and spore forming bacterial strain (MEB205T) was isolated from sediment sample collected from Lonar lake, India. The strain grew optimally at pH 10, NaCl concentration of 3.0% at 37 °C. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strain MEB205T belonged to the genus Halalkalibacter in the family Bacillaceae and shared the highest sequence similarity with H. okhensis Kh10-101T (98.9%) followed by H. wakoensis N-1 T (98.7%). The assembled genome of strain MEB205T has a total length of 4.8 Mb with a G + C content of 37.8%. The dDDH and OrthoANI values between strain MEB205T and H. okhensis Kh10-101 T were 29.1% and 84.3%, respectively. Furthermore, the genome analysis revealed the presence of antiporter genes (nhaA and nhaD) and L-ectoine biosynthesis gene required for survival of the strain MEB205T in alkaline-saline habitat. The major fatty acid was C15:0 anteiso, C16:0 and C15:0 iso (> 10.0%). Diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylethanolamine were the major polar lipids. meso-diaminopimelic acid was diagnostic diamino acid for cell wall peptidoglycan. Based on the polyphasic taxonomic studies, strain MEB205T represent a novel species of the genus Halalkalibacter for which the name Halalkalibacter alkaliphilus sp. nov. (Type strain MEB205T = MCC 3863 T = JCM 34004 T = NCIMB 15406 T) is proposed.

Abstract
A bacterial strain, designated YZJH907-2T, was isolated from the stem of Suaeda aralocaspica, collected from the southern edge of the Gurbantunggut desert, Xinjiang, PR China. Cells of strain YZJH907-2T were Gram-stain-positive, aerobic and rod-shaped. They formed white or colourless circular colonies with smooth convex surfaces. Strain YZJH907-2T grew at 4–50 °C (optimum, 28–30 °C), pH 7.0–10.0 (optimum, pH 8.0–9.0) and with 0–10 % (w/v) NaCl (optimum, 3–7 %). The genomic DNA G+C content of strain YZJH907-2T was 38.1 mol%. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity showed that the strain was most closely related to
Bacillus alcalophilus
DSM 485T (97.37 %),
Bacillus kiskunsagensis
B16-24T (96.87 %) and
Bacillus bogoriensis
LBB3T (96.71 %). Average nucleotide identity values between YZJH907-2T and
B. alcalophilus
DSM 485Tand
B. bogoriensis
LBB3T were 69.2 and 69.0 %, respectively. Digital DNA–DNA hybridization values of YZJH907-2T with
B. alcalophilus
DSM 485T and
B. bogoriensis
LBB3T were 19.6 and 20.4 %, respectively. The cell wall of strain YZJH907-2T contained meso-diaminopimelic acid, and the major and secondary isoprenoid quinones were MK-7 and MK-5, respectively. Results of fatty acids showed that anteiso-C15 : 0, iso-C15 : 0 and C16 : 0 were the predominant cellular fatty acids. Two-dimensional thin-layer chromatography analysis indicated that the polar lipids included diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, three unidentified phospholipids and two unidentified glycolipids. Based on the genomic, phylogenetic and phenotypic analyses, strain YZJH907-2T represented a novel species of the genus
Bacillus
, and thus the name Bacillus suaedae sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is YZJH907-2T (=CGMCC 1.18763T=KCTC 43335T).

Abstract
Four novel bacterial strains (zg-ZUI122T/zg-ZUI10 and zg-ZUI227T/zg-ZUI100) were isolated from the intestinal contents of Marmota himalayana and characterized using a polyphasic approach. Cells were Gram-stain- and catalase-positive, urease- and oxidase-negative. Strains grew optimally at 28–30 °C, pH 7.0, with 0.5 % NaCl (w/v). A comparative analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strain pairs zg-ZUI122T/zg-ZUI10 and zg-ZUI227T/zg-ZUI100 belonged to the genus
Arthrobacter
and were most closely related to
Arthrobacter citreus
DSM 20133T, with similarities of 99.6 and 99.5 %, respectively. This was further confirmed by phylogenetic analyses based on the 16S rRNA gene and genome sequences. The digital DNA–DNA hybridization and average nucleotide identity values between the two new type strains (zg-ZUI122T and zg-ZUI227T) and other species in the genus
Arthrobacter
were 20.0–24.4/77.2–83.4% and 19.9–25.1/77.1–83.4%, all below the thresholds. The major cellular fatty acids detected in the two novel species included iso-C15 : 0 and anteiso-C15 : 0; the predominant polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylinositol. MK-8(H2) (77.3%) was the predominant respiratory quinone detected in strain zg-ZUI122T, while MK-8(H2) (53.7%) and MK-9(H2) (46.3%) were detected in strain zg-ZUI227T. The shared cell-wall amino acids detected in the two novel species were alanine, glutamic acid and lysine; the shared whole cell wall sugars consisted of galactose, mannose and ribose. All these analyses concluded that these four strains represent two different novel species in the genus
Arthrobacter
, for which the names Arthrobacter sunyaminii sp. nov. (zg-ZUI122T = GDMCC 1.2502T = KCTC 49677T) and Arthrobacter jiangjiafuii sp. nov. (zg-ZUI227T = GDMCC 1.2500T = KCTC 49676T) are proposed.

Abstract
A Gram-stain positive, long, rod-shaped, motile, and spore-forming bacterium (MEB199T) was isolated from a sediment sample collected from Lonar Lake, India. The strain was oxidase and catalase positive. The strain grew optimally at pH 10, NaCl concentration of 3.5% at 37°C. The major fatty acids were iso-C15:0, iso-C16:0, anteiso-C15:0, and iso-C17:0. The peptidoglycan contained meso-diaminopimelic acid (meso-DAP). Phosphatidylethanolamine, diphosphatidylglycerol, and phosphatidylglycerol were the major polar lipids of MEB199T. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequence showed that strain MEB199T belonged to the family Bacillaceae and exhibited a distinctive position among the members of the genus Alkalihalobacillus (Ahb.). Strain MEB199T shared the highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity with Alkalihalobacillus alkalinitrilicus ANL-iso4T (98.36%), whereas with type species Ahb. alcalophilus DSM 485T, it is 94.91%, indicating that strain MEB199T is distinctly related to the genus Alkalihalobacillus. The G + C content of genomic DNA was 36.47 mol%. The digital DNA-DNA hybridization (dDDH) (23.6%) and average nucleotide identity (ANI) (81%) values between strain MEB199T and Ahb. alkalinitrilicus ANL-iso4T confirmed the novelty of this new species. The pairwise identity based on the 16S rRNA gene sequence between the species of genus Alkalihalobacillus ranges from 87.4 to 99.81% indicating the heterogeneity in the genus. The different phylogenetic analysis based on the genome showed that the members of the genus Alkalihalobacillus separated into eight distinct clades. The intra-clade average amino acid identity (AAI) and percentage of conserved proteins (POCP) range from 52 to 68% and 37 to 59%, respectively, which are interspersed on the intra-genera cutoff values; therefore, we reassess the taxonomy of genus Alkalihalobacillus. The phenotypic analysis also corroborated the differentiation between these clades. Based on the phylogenetic analysis, genomic indices, and phenotypic traits, we propose the reclassification of the genus Alkalihalobacillus into seven new genera for which the names Alkalihalobacterium gen. nov., Halalkalibacterium gen. nov., Halalkalibacter gen. nov., Shouchella gen. nov., Pseudalkalibacillus gen. nov., Alkalicoccobacillus gen. nov., and Alkalihalophilus gen. nov. are proposed and provide an emended description of Alkalihalobacillus sensu stricto. Also, we propose the Ahb. okuhidensis as a heterotypic synonym of Alkalihalobacillus halodurans. Based on the polyphasic taxonomic analysis, strain MEB199T represents a novel species of newly proposed genus for which the name Alkalihalobacterium elongatum gen. nov. sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is MEB199T (= MCC 2982T, = JCM 33704T, = NBRC 114256T, = CGMCC 1.17254T).

Abstract
Four obligatory anaerobic, Gram-stain-positive, non-motile and rod-shaped organisms (HF-1365T, HF-1362, HF-1101T and HF-4214) were isolated from faecal samples of healthy Chinese subjects. Results of 16S rRNA gene sequence analyses showed that these isolates belong to the genera Enorma (strains HF-1365T and HF-1362) and Eggerthella (strains HF-1101T and HF-4214), closest to Enorma massiliensis (both 98.6 %) and Eggerthella sinensis (98.0 and 97.8 %), respectively. The whole genome sequences of strains HF-1365T and HF-1101T were 2.3 and 4.2 Mb in size with 61.7 and 66.2 mol% DNA G+C content, respectively. The average nucleotide identity and digital DNA-DNA hybridization values indicated that strains HF-1365T and HF-1101T represent novel species in the genera Enorma and Eggerthella. Major fatty acid constituents (>10 %) of strains HF-1365T and HF-1362 were C12 : 0 (24.7 and 23.9 %), C14 : 0 (21.9 and 20.6 %) and summed feature 1 (C15 : 1iso H/C13 : 0 3OH; 12.8 and 10.8 %); those of strains HF-1101T and HF-4214 were C18 : 1 ω9c (32.4 and 33.1 %) and C16 : 0 (13.9 and 14.0 %). Strain HF-1365T had phospholipid, glycolipid, lipid and phosphoglycolipid without any known quinones, while strain HF-1101T had diphosphatidylglycerol as the major polar lipid and MK-7 (80.7 %) as the predominant quinone. On the basis of their phylogenetic and phenotypic characteristics, strains HF-1365T and HF-1101T represent two distinct species, respectively, in the genera Enorma and Eggerthella, for which the names Enorma shizhengliae sp. nov. (type strain HF-1365T=CGMCC 1.17435T=GDMCC 1.1705T=JCM 33601T) and Eggerthella guodeyinii sp. nov. (type strain HF-1101T=CGMCC 1.17436T=GDMCC 1.1668T=JCM 33773T) are proposed.

Abstract
Four unknown strains, characterized as Gram-stain-negative, strictly anaerobic, non-motile and rod-shaped, were isolated from fresh faeces of healthy humans in PR China. Pairwise sequence comparisons of the 16S rRNA genes showed that these isolates were separated into two clusters. Cluster I (strains HF-5141T and HF-106) was most closely related to Bacteroides xylanisolvens XB1AT (98.0-98.3 % similarity) and Bacteroides ovatus ATCC 8483T (97.3-97.5 %), whereas cluster II (strains HF-5287T and HF-5300) exhibited a similarity range of 96.8-97.0 % to Bacteroides finegoldii JCM 13345T, 96.7-96.9 % to Bacteroides faecis MAJ27T and 96.4-96.5 % to Bacteroides xylanisolvens XB1AT. The DNA G+C contents of type strains HF-5141T and HF-5287T were 41.5 and 42.6 mol%, respectively. These strains had anteiso-C15 : 0 as the major cellular fatty acid, MK-9 and MK-11 as the predominant respiratory quinones, and phosphatidylethanolamine, aminophospholipids and phospholipids as major polar lipids, which is typical for members of the genus Bacteroides. However, the average nucleotide identity and digital DNA-DNA hybridization values, accompanied by different phenotypic and biochemical characteristics, distinguished them from their corresponding closest relatives as well as from other recognized members of the genus Bacteroides. Therefore, strains HF-5141T and HF-5287T represent two novel species in the genus Bacteroides, for which the names Bacteroides luhongzhouii sp. nov. and Bacteroides zhangwenhongii sp. nov. are proposed, with HF-5141T (=CGMCC 1.16787T=GDMCC 1.1591T=JCM 33480T) and HF-5287T (=CGMCC 1.16724T=GDMCC 1.1590T=JCM 33481T) as type strains.

Abstract
To clarify the evolutionary relationships and classification of Bacillus species, comprehensive phylogenomic and comparative analyses were performed on >300 Bacillus/Bacillaceae genomes. Multiple genomic-scale phylogenetic trees were initially reconstructed to identify different monophyletic clades of Bacillus species. In parallel, detailed analyses were performed on protein sequences of genomes to identify conserved signature indels (CSIs) that are specific for each of the identified clades. We show that in different reconstructed trees, most of the Bacillus species, in addition to the Subtilis and Cereus clades, consistently formed 17 novel distinct clades. Additionally, some Bacillus species reliably grouped with the genera Alkalicoccus, Caldalkalibacillus, Caldibacillus, Salibacterium and Salisediminibacterium. The distinctness of identified Bacillus species clades is independently strongly supported by 128 identified CSIs which are unique characteristics of these clades, providing reliable means for their demarcation. Based on the strong phylogenetic and molecular evidence, we are proposing that these 17 Bacillus species clades should be recognized as novel genera, with the names Alteribacter gen. nov., Ectobacillus gen. nov., Evansella gen. nov., Ferdinandcohnia gen. nov., Gottfriedia gen. nov., Heyndrickxia gen. nov., Lederbergia gen. nov., Litchfieldia gen. nov., Margalitia gen. nov., Niallia gen. nov., Priestia gen. nov., Robertmurraya gen. nov., Rossellomorea gen. nov., Schinkia gen. nov., Siminovitchia gen. nov., Sutcliffiella gen. nov. and Weizmannia gen. nov. We also propose to transfer 'Bacillus kyonggiensis' to Robertmurraya kyonggiensis sp. nov. (type strain: NB22=JCM 17569T=DSM 26768). Additionally, we report 31 CSIs that are unique characteristics of either the members of the Subtilis clade (containing the type species B. subtilis) or the Cereus clade (containing B. anthracis and B. cereus). As most Bacillus species which are not part of these two clades can now be assigned to other genera, we are proposing an emended description of the genus Bacillus to restrict it to only the members of the Subtilis and Cereus clades.

Abstract
A novel Gram-positive and endospore-forming bacterium assigned as strain SPB7T which is also a new source of a cyclic diketopiperazine (3S,6S)-3,6-diisobutylpiperazine-2,5-dione is described. A polyphasic (biochemical, phenotypic and genotypic) approach was used to clarify the taxonomic affiliation of this strain. The partial and complete 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strain SPB7T is a member of the Bacillus genus [showing high similarity (> 98.70%) with Bacillus spizizenii NRRL B-23049T, Bacillus tequilensis KCTC 13622T, Bacillus inaquosorum KCTC 13429T and Bacillus cabrialesii TE3T]. The maximum values for average nucleotide identity (ANI) and in silico DNA-DNA hybridization (GGDC, Formula 2) of strain SPB7T was obtained for twenty-five strains of Bacillus spizizenii (ANI 95.01-95.48% and GGDC 62.70-60.00%). The whole-genome phylogenetic relationship showed that SPB7T formed an individual and separated clade with the Bacillus spizizenii group. Principal cellular fatty acids identified in strain SPB7T were anteiso C15:0, anteiso C17:0, iso C15:0, iso C17:0, C16:0, C10:0 3OH and iso C17:1 ϖ10c. Polar lipid profile showed presence of diphosphotidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, two unknown phospholipids and five unknown lipids. Cells were rod shaped, catalase, oxidase-positive and motile. Growth occurred at 20-45 °C (optimal 35 °C), at pH 6.0-10.0 (optimal pH 8) and 0-10% (w/v) NaCl (optimal 2%). The phenotypic, biochemical, and genotypic traits of strain SPB7T strongly supported its taxonomic affiliation as a novel species of the Bacillus genus, for which the name Bacillus rugosus sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is SPB7T (= NRRL B-65559T, = CICC 24827T, = MCC 4185T).

Abstract
Four unknown strains belonging to the genus Arthrobacter were isolated from plateau wildlife on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau of PR China. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that the four isolates were separated into two clusters. Cluster I (strains 785T and 208) had the greatest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity to Arthrobacter citreus (98.6 and 98.7 %, respectively), Arthrobacter luteolus (98.0 and 98.1%, respectively), Arthrobacter gandavensis (97.9 and 98.0 %, respectively) and Arthrobacter koreensis (97.6 and 97.7 %, respectively). Likewise, cluster II (strains J391T and J915) had the highest sequence similarity to Arthrobacter ruber (98.6 and 98.3 %, respectively) and Arthrobacter agilis (98.1 and 97.9 %, respectively). Average nucleotide identity and the digital DNA-DNA hybridization values illustrated that the two type strains, 785T and J391T, represented two separate novel species that are distinct from all currently recognized species in the genus Arthrobacter. These strains had DNA G+C contents of 66.0-66.1 mol% (cluster I) and 68.0 mol% (cluster II). The chemotaxonomic properties of strains 785T and J391T were in line with those of the genus Arthrobacter: anteiso-C15:0 (79.3 and 40.8 %, respectively) as the major cellular fatty acid, MK-8(H2) (65.8 %) or MK-9(H2) (75.6 %) as the predominant respiratory quinone, a polar lipid profile comprising diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylinositol, glycolipids and phospholipid, and A3α or A4α as the cell wall peptidoglycan type. On the basis of our results, two novel species in the genus Arthrobacter are proposed, namely Arthrobacter yangruifuii sp. nov. (type strain, 785T=CGMCC 1.16725T=GDMCC 1.1592T=JCM 33491T) and Arthrobacter zhaoguopingii sp. nov. (type strain, J391T=CGMCC 1.17382T=GDMCC 1.1667T=JCM 33841T).

Abstract
Two novel Gram-stain-positive, irregular rod-shaped bacterial strains, dk3136T and dk3543, were isolated from the faeces of Tibetan gazelle (Procapra picticaudata) in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau of PR China. The cells were aerobic, oxidase-negative and catalase-positive. Colonies were yellowish, circular without any observable aerial mycelium after culturing at 28 ℃ for 3 days on brain-heart infusion (BHI) agar with 5 % sheep blood. The cells grew optimally at 28 °C, pH 7.5 and with 1 % (w/v) NaCl on BHI agar supplemented with 5 % sheep blood. Phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that their nearest phylogenetic relative was Nocardioides solisilvae Ka25T (97.9 % similarity). The results of 16S rRNA gene sequence and phylogenetic/phylogenomic analyses illustrated that N. solisilvae Ka25T, Nocardioides gilvus XZ17T, Nocardioides houyundeii 78T and Nocardioides daphniae D287T were their nearest phylogenetic neighbours. The DNA G+C contents of strains dk3136T and dk3543 were 70.3 mol% and 70.4 mol%, respectively. Their genomes exhibit lower than threshold (95-96 %) average nucleotide identity to known species of the genus Nocardioides. ll-2,6-diaminopimelic acid was the diagnostic diamino acid and MK-8(H4) was the predominant respiratory quinone. The major polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylglycerol. The two strains had C18 : 1 ω9c, iso-C16 : 0 and C17 : 1 ω8c as the major fatty acids, and rhamnose and galactose as the main whole-cell sugars. On the basis of the results of our genotypic, phenotypic and biochemical analyses, we conclude that strains dk3136T and dk3543 represent a novel species in genus Nocardioides, for which the name Nocardioides jishulii sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is dk3136T (=CGMCC 4.7570T=JCM 33496T=KCTC 49314T).
