Muhammad N, Avila F, Nedashkovskaya OI, Kim SG. Three novel marine species of the genus Reichenbachiella exhibiting degradation of complex polysaccharides. Front Microbiol 2023; 14:1265676. [PMID: 38156005 PMCID: PMC10752948 DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2023.1265676] [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: 07/23/2023] [Accepted: 11/23/2023] [Indexed: 12/30/2023] Open
Abstract
Three novel strains designated ABR2-5T, BKB1-1T, and WSW4-B4T belonging to the genus Reichenbachiella of the phylum Bacteroidota were isolated from algae and mud samples collected in the West Sea, Korea. All three strains were enriched for genes encoding up to 216 carbohydrate-active enzymes (CAZymes), which participate in the degradation of agar, alginate, carrageenan, laminarin, and starch. The 16S rRNA sequence similarities among the three novel isolates were 94.0%-94.7%, and against all three existing species in the genus Reichenbachiella they were 93.6%-97.2%. The genome sizes of the strains ABR2-5T, BKB1-1T, and WSW4-B4T were 5.5, 4.4, and 5.0 Mb, respectively, and the GC content ranged from 41.1%-42.0%. The average nucleotide identity and the digital DNA-DNA hybridization values of each novel strain within the isolates and all existing species in the genus Reichenbachiella were in a range of 69.2%-75.5% and 17.7-18.9%, respectively, supporting the creation of three new species. The three novel strains exhibited a distinctive fatty acid profile characterized by elevated levels of iso-C15:0 (37.7%-47.4%) and C16:1 ω5c (14.4%-22.9%). Specifically, strain ABR2-5T displayed an additional higher proportion of C16:0 (13.0%). The polar lipids were phosphatidylethanolamine, unidentified lipids, aminolipids, and glycolipids. Menaquinone-7 was identified as the respiratory quinone of the isolates. A comparative genome analysis was performed using the KEGG, RAST, antiSMASH, CRISPRCasFinder, dbCAN, and dbCAN-PUL servers and CRISPRcasIdentifier software. The results revealed that the isolates harbored many key genes involved in central metabolism for the synthesis of essential amino acids and vitamins, hydrolytic enzymes, carotenoid pigments, and antimicrobial compounds. The KEGG analysis showed that the three isolates possessed a complete pathway of dissimilatory nitrate reduction to ammonium (DNRA), which is involved in the conservation of bioavailable nitrogen within the ecosystem. Moreover, all the strains possessed genes that participated in the metabolism of heavy metals, including arsenic, copper, cobalt, ferrous, and manganese. All three isolated strains contain the class 2 type II subtype C1 CRISPR-Cas system in their genomes. The distinguished phenotypic, chemotaxonomic, and genomic characteristics led us to propose that the three strains represent three novel species in the genus Reichenbachiella: R. ulvae sp. nov. (ABR2-5T = KCTC 82990T = JCM 35839T), R. agarivorans sp. nov. (BKB1-1T = KCTC 82964T = JCM 35840T), and R. carrageenanivorans sp. nov. (WSW4-B4T = KCTC 82706T = JCM 35841T).

Abstract
The membranous quinone/quinol pool is essential for the majority of life forms and its composition has been widely used as a biomarker in microbial taxonomy. The most abundant quinone is menaquinone (MK), which serves as an essential redox mediator in various electron transport chains of aerobic and anaerobic respiration. Several methylated derivatives of MK, designated methylmenaquinones (MMKs), have been reported to be present in members of various microbial phyla possessing either the classical MK biosynthesis pathway (Men) or the futalosine pathway (Mqn). Due to their low redox midpoint potentials, MMKs have been proposed to be specifically involved in appropriate electron transport chains of anaerobic respiration. The class C radical SAM methyltransferases MqnK, MenK and MenK2 have recently been shown to catalyse specific MK methylation reactions at position C-8 (MqnK/MenK) or C-7 (MenK2) to synthesise 8-MMK, 7-MMK and 7,8-dimethylmenaquinone (DMMK). MqnK, MenK and MenK2 from organisms such as Wolinella succinogenes, Adlercreutzia equolifaciens, Collinsella tanakaei, Ferrimonas marina and Syntrophus aciditrophicus have been functionally produced in Escherichia coli, enabling extensive quinone/quinol pool engineering of the native MK and 2-demethylmenaquinone (DMK). Cluster and phylogenetic analyses of available MK and MMK methyltransferase sequences revealed signature motifs that allowed the discrimination of MenK/MqnK/MenK2 family enzymes from other radical SAM enzymes and the identification of C-7-specific menaquinone methyltransferases of the MenK2 subfamily. It is envisaged that this knowledge will help to predict the methylation status of the menaquinone/menaquinol pool of any microbial species (or even a microbial community) from its (meta)genome.

Abstract
A aerobic, gram-negative, rod-shaped and polar-flagellum bacterial strain, designated as FYR11-62T, was isolated from the estuary of the Fenhe River into the Yellow River in Shanxi Province, China. The isolate was able to grow at 4-37 °C (optimum, 25 °C), pH 5.5-9.5 (optimum, pH 7.5) and in the presence of 0-7.0% (w/v) NaCl (optimum, 1.0% NaCl). Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA genes and 1597 single-copy orthologous clusters indicated that strain FYR11-62T affiliated with the genus Shewanella and shared the highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity to Shewanella aestuarii SC18T (98.3%) and Shewanella gaetbuli TF-27T (97.3%), respectively. The major fatty acids were summed feature 3 (C16:1 ω7c and/or C16:1 ω6c), C16:0 and iso-C15:0. The major polar lipids were phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidylglycerol. The main quinones were Q-7 and Q-8. The genomic DNA G + C content was 41.6%. Gene annotation showed that strain FYR11-62T possessed 30 antibiotic resistance genes, implying its multiple antidrug resistance. The average nucleotide identity and digital DNA-DNA hybridization values between strain FYR11-62T and its closely related species were all below the thresholds for species delineation. The phylogenetic position together with the results of the analysis of morphological, physiological and genomic features support the classification of strain FYR11-62T (= MCCC 1K07242T = KCTC 92244T) as a novel species of the genus Shewanella, for which the name Shewanella subflava sp. nov. is proposed.

Abstract
A facultative anaerobic bacterium, designated as A25T, was isolated from a mangrove sediment sample collected in Shenzhen, China. Cells of strain A25T were found to be Gram-staining negative, rod-shaped, flagella-harboring, and oxidase- and catalase-positive. The isolate was able to grow at 4-40 °C (optimum 28 °C) and pH 5.0-9.0 (optimum pH 6.0), and in 0-10% NaCl concentration (w/v) (optimum 1%). Strain A25T was capable of reducing Fe(III) citrate under anaerobic conditions. The major fatty acids of this strain was C16:1ω7c/C16:1ω6c (summed feature 3), C17:1ω8c and iso-C15:0. Results of phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strain A25T is affiliated with the genus Shewanella, showing the highest similarity to Shewanella seohaensis S7-3T (98.4% similarity). The average nucleotide identity and digital DNA-DNA hybridization values between the genomes of strain A25T and its closely related strains were ≤ 79.0% and ≤ 22.8%, respectively. Based on its phenotypic, phylogenetic properties and physiological and biochemical characteristics, strain A25T (= JCM 34900T = GDMCC 1.2731T) was designated as the type strain of a novel species of the genus Shewanella, for which the name Shewanella shenzhenensis sp. nov. was proposed.

Abstract
A Gram-stain-negative, motile, facultative anaerobic and rod-shaped bacterium, designated strain NR704-98T, was isolated from marine sediment of the northern South China Sea. Cells were positive for oxidase and catalase activity. Growth was observed at 4-30 °C (optimum 20-25 °C), at pH 6-9 (pH 7) and with 0.5-7 % NaCl (2 %). The 16S rRNA gene-based phylogenetic analysis revealed that the nearest phylogenetic neighbours of strain NR704-98T were Shewanella woodyi MS32T (97.9 %), Shewanella hanedai 281T (97.1 %), Shewanella sediminis HAW-EB3T (96.8 %) and Shewanella canadensis HAW-EB2T (96.7 %). Based on the results of phylogenomic analysis, the average nucleotide identity and the digital DNA-DNA hybridization values between strain NR704-98T and the previously mentioned type strains of species of the genus Shewanella were in the range of 74.9-93.1 % and 20.6-51.4 %, respectively. The respiratory quinones were Q-7 and Q-8. The predominant fatty acids (>10 %) of strain NR704-98T were C16 : 0, summed feature 3 (C16 : 1 ω7c and/or C16 : 1 ω6c) and iso-C15 : 0. Phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, two unidentified aminophospholipids and five unidentified lipids were detected in strain NR704-98T. Based on the phylogenetic and phenotypic characteristics, strain NR704-98T is considered to represent a novel species of the genus Shewanella, for which the name Shewanella nanhaiensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is NR704-98T (=KCTC 82799T=MCCC 1K06091T).

Abstract
Three Gram-staining negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped and motile strains, FJAT-51800T, FJAT-52962T and FJAT-54481T were isolated from the sediment samples of Zhangjiang Estuary Mangrove National Nature Reserve in Fujian Province, China. The 16S rRNA gene sequencing results indicated they could be novel members of the genus Shewanella. The optimum temperature for growth was 30 °C. The respiratory quinones of the strains were ubiquinone Q-7 or Q-8, and menaquinone MK-7. Polar lipids of the strains FJAT-52962T and FJAT-51800T were phosphatidyl glycerol, phosphatidyl ethanolamine, and unidentified aminophospholipids while strain FJAT-54481 consist of phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, unidentified aminophospholipids, two unidentified aminolipids and four unidentified lipids. The major fatty acid of the three strains was iso-C15:0. The genomic DNA G + C contents of strains FJAT-51800T, FJAT-52962T and FJAT-54481T were 48.2, 55.3 and 48.1%, respectively. The average nucleotide identity and digital DNA-DNA hybridization values between strains FJAT-51800T, FJAT-52962T and FJAT-54481T and other closely related Shewanella members were below the cut-off level (95-96%) for species identification. Genome analysis showed that these strains encode genes for osmo-regulation. Based on the results of phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and genome analyses, strains FJAT-51800T, FJAT-52962T and FJAT-54481T represent three novel species of the genus Shewanella, for which the names Shewanella avicenniae sp. nov., Shewanella sedimentimangrovi sp. nov., and Shewanella yunxiaonensis sp. nov., are proposed. The type strains are FJAT-51800T (= GDMCC 1.2204T = KCTC 82448T), FJAT-52962T (= MCCC 1K05496T = KCTC 82445T) and FJAT-54481T (= GDMCC 1.2348T = KCTC 82646T).
