Endophytic diazotrophic communities from rice roots are diverse and weakly associated with soil diazotrophic community composition and soil properties. J Appl Microbiol 2024; 135:lxae157.

Abstract
AIM Bacteria that promote plant growth, such as diazotrophs, are valuable tools for achieving a more sustainable production of important non-legume crops like rice. Different strategies have been used to discover new bacteria capable of promoting plant growth. This work evaluated the contribution of soil diazotrophs to the endophytic communities established in the roots of rice seedlings cultivated on seven representative soils from Uruguay. METHODS AND RESULTS The soils were classified into two groups according to the C and clay content. qPCR, terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism (T-RFLP), and 454-pyrosequencing of the nifH gene were used for analyzing diazotrophs in soil and plantlets' roots grown from seeds of the same genotype for 25 days under controlled conditions. A similar nifH abundance was found among the seven soils, roots, or leaves. The distribution of diazotrophs was more uneven in roots than in soils, with dominance indices significantly higher than in soils (nifH T-RFLP). Dominant soils' diazotrophs were mainly affiliated to Alphaproteobacteria and Planctomycetota. Conversely, Alpha, Beta, Gammaproteobacteria, and Bacillota were predominant in different roots, though undetectable in soils. Almost no nifH sequences were shared between soils and roots. CONCLUSIONS Root endophytic diazotrophs comprised a broader taxonomic range of microorganisms than diazotrophs found in soils from which the plantlets were grown and showed strong colonization patterns.

Abstract
A Gram-stain-negative, endospore-forming, rod-shaped, indole-producing bacterial strain, designated YZC6T, was isolated from fermented cabbage. Strain YZC6T grew at 10-37 °C, pH 5.5-8.5, and with up to 2 % (w/v) NaCl. The major cellular fatty acids were C16 : 0 and C18 : 1 cis 11 dimethyl acetal. Phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rRNA gene revealed that strain YZC6T belonged to the genus Lacrimispora and was closely related to Lacrimispora aerotolerans DSM 5434T (98.3 % sequence similarity), Lacrimispora saccharolytica WM1T (98.1 %), and Lacrimispora algidixylanolytica SPL73T (98.1 %). The average nucleotide identity based on blast (below 87.8 %) and digital DNA-DNA hybridization (below 36.1 %) values between the novel isolate and its corresponding relatives showed that strain YZC6T could be readily distinguished from its closely related species. Based on genotypic, phenotypic, and chemotaxonomic data, a novel Lacrimispora species, Lacrimispora brassicae sp. nov., was proposed, with YZC6T as the type strain (=MAFF 212518T=JCM 32810T=DSM 112100T). This study also proposed Clostridium indicum Gundawar et al. 2019 as a later heterotypic synonym of Lacrimispora amygdalina (Parshina et al. 2003) Haas and Blanchard 2020 and Clostridium methoxybenzovorans Mechichi et al. 1999 as a later heterotypic synonym of Lacrimispora indolis (McClung and McCpy 1957) Haas and Blanchard 2020.

Abstract
A Gram-stain-positive, strictly anaerobic, endospore-forming and rod-shaped (0.6-0.8×2.7-13.1 µm) bacterium, designated as 5 N-1T, was isolated from a yellow water sample collected from the manufacturing process of Nongxiangxing baijiu in the Yibin region of Sichuan, PR China. Growth occurred at 15-40 °C (optimum growth at 37 °C), at pH 6.0-9.0 (optimum growth at pH 7.0) and in NaCl concentrations of 0-1 % (w/v) and ethanol concentrations of 0-2 % (v/v). The major fatty acids in strain 5 N-1T were C16 : 0, C18 : 0 and C14 : 0. The polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, four unidentified aminophospholipids and one unidentified lipid. Phylogenetic analysis of its 16S rRNA gene sequence indicated that strain 5 N-1T was most closely related to Clostridium weizhouense YB-6T (97.70 %) and Clostridium uliginosum DSM 12992T (97.56 %). The average nucleotide identity and digital DNA‒DNA hybridization values between strain 5 N-1T and the above two type strains were 80.89 and 80.05 % and 25.80 and 25.30 %, respectively, which were all below the species thresholds. The genome size of strain 5 N-1T was 3.5 Mbp and the DNA G+C content was 27.5 mol%. Based on the results of phenotypic and genotypic analyses, strain 5 N-1T represents a novel species of the genus Clostridium, for which the name Clostridium aquiflavi sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is Clostridium aquiflavi 5 N-1T (=CICC 24886T=JCM 35355T).

Abstract
The taxonomic status of the species Clostridium methoxybenzovorans was assessed. The 16S rRNA gene sequence, whole-genome sequence and phenotypic characterizations suggested that the type strain deposited in the American Type Culture Collection (C. methoxybenzovorans ATCC 700855T) is a member of the species Eubacterium callanderi. Hence, C. methoxybenzovorans ATCC 700855T cannot be used as a reference for taxonomic study. The type strain deposited in the German Collection of Microorganism and Cell Cultures GmbH (DSM 12182T) is no longer listed in its online catalogue. Also, both the 16S rRNA gene and the whole-genome sequences of the original strain SR3T showed high sequence identity with those of Lacrimispora indolis (recently reclassified from Clostridium indolis) as the most closely related species. Analysis of the two genomes showed average nucleotide identity based on blast and digital DNA-DNA hybridization values of 98.3 and 87.9 %, respectively. Based on these results, C. methoxybenzovorans SR3T was considered to be a member of L. indolis.

Abstract
A strictly anaerobic bacterial strain designated as SKVG24 was isolated from subgingival dental plaque samples of patients suffering from periodontitis. Cells were stained Gram-positive, rod shaped with endospore. The strain showed negative reaction to catalase and oxidase enzymes, but positive for gelatinase activity. Optimal growth was observed at 37 °C temperature and 7.0 pH. The 16S rRNA gene sequence BLAST analysis assigned strain SKVG24 to the genus Paraclostridium as it displayed 99.93% identity with P. benzoelyticum JC272T followed by P. bifermentans ATCC 638T (99.79%). However, average nucleotide identity (ANI) and digital DNA-DNA hybridization (dDDH) of the whole genome sequence showed <97% and <70% identity, respectively, with type strains of all closely related species. The G + C content of the DNA was 28.7 mol%. Total lipids profile showed presence of glycolipids as major lipids. Pathogenic features like hemolysis, gelatin hydrolysis and production of volatile sulfur compounds exhibited by strain SKVG24T were analogous to those observed in the established oral pathogenic strains. Further, whole genome sequence analysis confirmed the presence of genes encoding virulence factors and provided genomic insights on adaptation of the strain in oral environment. Based on the phenotypic and genetic differences with phylogenetic relatives, strain SKVG24T is proposed to represent a new species of the genus Paraclostridium with potential pathogenic ability, for which the name Paraclostridium dentum sp. nov., is suggested. The proposed type strain is SKVG24T (MTCC 12836T; = JCM 32760T).
