[PMID: 36557608 PMCID: PMC9781867 DOI: 10.3390/microorganisms10122355] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/26/2022] [Revised: 11/18/2022] [Accepted: 11/21/2022] [Indexed: 12/02/2022] Open
Abstract
For a long time, the genus Bacillus has been known and considered among the most applicable genera in several fields. Recent taxonomical developments resulted in the identification of more species in Bacillus-related genera, particularly in the order Bacillales (earlier heterotypic synonym: Caryophanales), with potential application for biotechnological and industrial purposes such as biofuels, bioactive agents, biopolymers, and enzymes. Therefore, a thorough understanding of the taxonomy, growth requirements and physiology, genomics, and metabolic pathways in the highly diverse bacterial order, Bacillales, will facilitate a more robust designing and sustainable production of strain lines relevant to a circular economy. This paper is focused principally on less-known genera and their potential in the order Bacillales for promising applications in the industry and addresses the taxonomical complexities of this order. Moreover, it emphasizes the biotechnological usage of some engineered strains of the order Bacillales. The elucidation of novel taxa, their metabolic pathways, and growth conditions would make it possible to drive industrial processes toward an upgraded functionality based on the microbial nature.

Abstract
Sponge-derived bacteria are considered to be a promising source of novel drugs, owing to their abundant secondary metabolites that have diverse biological activities. In this study, we explored the antimicrobial biosynthetic potential and phylogenetics of culturable bacteria associated with the sponge Ophlitaspongia sp. from the Yellow Sea, China. Using culture-dependent methods, we obtained 151 bacterial strains, which were then analysed for their antimicrobial activities against seven indicator strains. The results indicate that 94 (62.3%) of the 151 isolated strains exhibited antimicrobial activities and inhibited at least one of the indicator strains. Fifty-two strains were selected for further phylogenetic analysis using 16S rRNA gene sequencing, as well as for the presence of polyketide synthase (PKS) and non-ribosomal peptide synthetase (NRPS) genes. These 52 strains belonged to 20 genera from 18 families in 4 phyla, including Actinobacteria, Bacteroidetes, Firmicutes, and Proteobacteria. Five strains with PKS genes and ten strains with NRPS genes were detected. Among them, two strains contained both PKS and NRPS genes. Notoacmeibacter sp. strain HMA008 (class Alphaproteobacteria) exhibited potent antimicrobial activity; thus, whole genome sequencing methods were used to analyse its secondary metabolite biosynthetic gene clusters. The genome of HMA008 contained 12 biosynthetic gene clusters that potentially encode secondary metabolites belonging to compound classes such as non-ribosomal peptides, prodigiosin, terpene, β-lactones, and siderophore, among others. This study indicates that the sponge Ophlitaspongia sp. harbours diverse bacterial strains with antimicrobial properties and may serve as a potential source of bioactive compounds.

Genome analysis of the salt-resistant Paludifilum halophilum DSM 102817 T reveals genes involved in flux-tuning of ectoines and unexplored bioactive secondary metabolites. World J Microbiol Biotechnol 2021; 37:178. [PMID: 34549358 DOI: 10.1007/s11274-021-03147-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/06/2021] [Accepted: 09/14/2021] [Indexed: 10/20/2022]
Abstract
Paludifilum halophilum DSM 102817T is the first member of the genus Paludifilum in the Thermoactinomycetaceae family. The thermohalophilic bacterium was isolated from the solar saltern of Sfax, Tunisia and was shown to be able to produce ectoines with a relatively high-yield and to cope with salt stress conditions. In this study, the whole genome of P. halophilum was sequenced and analysed. Analysis revealed 3,789,765 base pairs with an average GC% content of 51.5%. A total of 3775 genes were predicted of which 3616 were protein-coding genes and 73 were RNA genes. The genes encoding key enzymes for ectoines (ectoine and hydroxyectoine) synthesis (ectABCD) were identified from the bacterial genome next to a gene cluster (ehuABCD) encoding a binding-protein-dependent ABC transport system responsible for ectoines mobility through the cell membrane. With the aid of KEGG analysis, we found that the central catabolic network of P. halophilum comprises the pathways of glycolysis, tricarboxylic acid cycle, and pentose phosphate. In addition, anaplerotic pathways replenishing oxaloacetate and glutamate synthesis from central metabolism needed for high ectoines biosynthetic fluxes were identified through several key enzymes. Furthermore, a total of 18 antiSMASH-predicted putative biosynthetic gene clusters for secondary metabolites with high novelty and diversity were identified in P. halophilum genome, including biosynthesis of colabomycine-A, fusaricidin-E, zwittermycin A, streptomycin, mycosubtilin and meilingmycin. Based on these data, P. halophilum emerged as a promising source for ectoines and antimicrobials with the potential to be scaled up for industrial production, which could benefit the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries.

Abstract
Soil quality is usually determined by its physical-chemical characteristics without taking into account the bacterial communities that play a fundamental role in the chemical decomposition of plant nutrients. In this context, the objective of the study was to evaluate bacterial diversity in high Andean grassland soils disturbed with Lepidium meyenii cultivation under different gradients of use (first, second and third use) and crop development (pre-sowing, hypocotyl development and post-harvest). The sampling was carried out in the Bombón plateau in the central Andes of Peru, during the rainy and low water seasons, by the systematic method based on a specific pattern assigned in a geometric rectangular shape at a depth of 0 - 20 cm. The characterization of the bacterial communities was carried out through the metagenomic sequencing of the 16S rRNA. 376 families of bacteria were reported, of which it was determined that there was a significant change in bacterial composition and distribution in relation to use pressure. There were no major changes due to the development of Lepidium meyenii. The families most sensitive to use pressure and soil poverty indicators were Verrucomicrobiaceae, Acidobacteraceae and Aakkermansiaceae.

ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2021; 194:110606. [PMID: 33345896 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2020.110606] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/23/2020] [Revised: 10/24/2020] [Accepted: 12/06/2020] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
Rhizoremediation, CH4 emission, and bacterial community dynamics were evaluated in diesel-contaminated soil cultivated with tall fescue via a pot experiment. At the beginning of the experiment, total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPHs) removal efficiency was 30.2% in tall fescue-cultivated soil, which was significantly higher than that of unplanted soil (19.4%). However, when compost was added as a soil amendment, TPHs removal efficiency increased to 39.2% in tall fescue-cultivated soil. Interestingly, potential CH4 emissions were more affected by the initial diesel concentration than by compost addition or tall fescue planting. Specifically, the potential CH4 emission was approximately 3.8 times higher in the treatment with the highest initial diesel concentration (T-WC38) than that of the treatment with the lowest initial diesel concentration (T-WC5). Functional gene analysis revealed that TPHs removal had a linear correlation with the alkB/16S gene ratio, whereas potential CH4 emission had a linear correlation with pmoA gene copy numbers. Initial diesel concentrations in soil also affected bacterial community structures and the genera Rhizobium, Halothiobacillus, and Geobacter were found to be positively linked to diesel-contaminated soil rhizoremediation. Therefore, this study provides useful insights into the development of strategies to enhance rhizoremediation efficiency and CH4 emission mitigation in diesel-contaminated soils.

Abstract
We isolated a filamentous, thermophilic, and first anaerobic representative of the genus Thermoactinomyces, designated strain AMNI-1T, from a biogas plant in Tyrol, Austria and report the results of a phenotypic, genetic, and phylogenetic investigation. Strain AMNI-1T was observed to form a white branching mycelium that aggregates into pellets when grown in liquid medium. Cells could primarily utilize lactose, glucose, and mannose as carbon and energy sources, with acetate accelerating and yeast extract being mandatory for growth. The optimum growth temperature and pH turned out to be 55 °C and pH 7.0, respectively, with an optimum NaCl concentration of 0–2% (w/v). 16S rRNA gene sequence comparison indicated that the genetic relatedness between strain AMNI-1T and Thermoactinomyces intermedius, Thermoactinomyces khenchelensis, and Thermoactinomyces vulgaris was less than 97%. The G + C content of the genomic DNA was 44.7 mol%. The data obtained suggest that the isolate represents a novel and first anaerobic species of the genus Thermoactinomyces, for which the name Thermoactinomyces mirandus is proposed. The type strain is AMNI-1T (= DSM 110094T = LMG 31503T). The description of the genus Thermoactinomyces is emended accordingly.

Abstract
In recent years, the results of genome-based phylogenetic analyses have contributed to microbial systematics by increasing the availability of sequenced microbial genomes. Therefore, phylogenomic analysis within large taxa in the phylum Actinobacteria has appeared as a useful tool to clarify the taxonomic positions of ambiguous groups. In this study, we provide a revision of the actinobacterial family Streptosporangiaceae using a large collection of genome data and phylogenomics approaches. The phylogenomic analyses included the publicly available genome data of the members of the family Streptosporangiaceae and the state-of-the-art tools are used to infer the taxonomic affiliation of these species within the family. By comparing genome-based and 16S rRNA gene-based trees, as well as pairwise genome comparisons, the recently described genera Spongiactinospora and Desertactinospora are combined in the genus Spongiactinospora. In conclusion, a comprehensive phylogenomic revision of the family Streptosporangiaceae is proposed.
