Abstract
Several groups of bacteria have complex life cycles involving cellular differentiation and multicellular structures. For example, actinobacteria of the genus Streptomyces form multicellular vegetative hyphae, aerial hyphae, and spores. However, similar life cycles have not yet been described for archaea. Here, we show that several haloarchaea of the family Halobacteriaceae display a life cycle resembling that of Streptomyces bacteria. Strain YIM 93972 (isolated from a salt marsh) undergoes cellular differentiation into mycelia and spores. Other closely related strains are also able to form mycelia, and comparative genomic analyses point to gene signatures (apparent gain or loss of certain genes) that are shared by members of this clade within the Halobacteriaceae. Genomic, transcriptomic and proteomic analyses of non-differentiating mutants suggest that a Cdc48-family ATPase might be involved in cellular differentiation in strain YIM 93972. Additionally, a gene encoding a putative oligopeptide transporter from YIM 93972 can restore the ability to form hyphae in a Streptomyces coelicolor mutant that carries a deletion in a homologous gene cluster (bldKA-bldKE), suggesting functional equivalence. We propose strain YIM 93972 as representative of a new species in a new genus within the family Halobacteriaceae, for which the name Actinoarchaeum halophilum gen. nov., sp. nov. is herewith proposed. Our demonstration of a complex life cycle in a group of haloarchaea adds a new dimension to our understanding of the biological diversity and environmental adaptation of archaea.

Extremophiles 2023; 27:7. [PMID: 36906854 DOI: 10.1007/s00792-023-01292-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/12/2023] [Accepted: 02/26/2023] [Indexed: 03/13/2023]
Abstract
Three novel filamentous halophilic archaea, strains DFN5T, RDMS1, and QDMS1, were isolated from the coastal saline soil samples of the intertidal zones located in different regions of Jiangsu Province, China. The colonies of these strains were pinkish-white due to the presence of white spores. These three strains are extremely halophilic and grew optimally at 35-37 °C and pH 7.0-7.5. Based on 16S rRNA and rpoB' gene analysis, strains DFN5T, RDMS1, and QDMS1 gathered together in phylogenetic trees and then clustered with the current species of the genus Halocatena showing 96.9-97.4% and 82.2-82.5% similarities, respectively. Both the 16S rRNA gene-based and rpoB' gene-based phylogenies were fully supported by the phylogenomic analysis, and the overall genome-related indexes indicated that strains DFN5T, RDMS1, and QDMS1 should be a novel species of the genus Halocatena. Genome mining revealed that there are considerable differences in the genes related to β-carotene synthesis among these three strains and the current species of Halocatena. The major polar lipids of strains DFN5T, RDMS1, and QDMS1 are PA, PG, PGP-Me, S-TGD-1, TGD-1, and TGD-2. The minor polar lipids, S-DGD-1, DGD-1, S2-DGD, and S-TeGD may be detected. According to the phenotypic characteristics, phylogenetic analysis, genomic and chemotaxonomic features, strains DFN5T (= CGMCC 1.19401 T = JCM 35422 T), RDMS1 (= CGMCC 1.19411) and QDMS1 (= CGMCC 1.19410) were classified as a novel species of the genus Halocatena with the proposed name, Halocatena marina sp. nov. This is the first report of the description of a novel filamentous haloarchaeon isolated from marine intertidal zones.

JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2022; 304:114265. [PMID: 34915391 DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2021.114265] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/20/2021] [Revised: 11/28/2021] [Accepted: 12/06/2021] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
It is promising to use indigenous microorganisms for fertility improvement in petroleum-contaminated coastal soil. As a result, the microbial community and physicochemical property are the base for the restoration. For the detailed information, the Phragmites Communis (P), Chinese Tamarisk (C), Suaeda salsa (S), and new Bare Land (B) soil of Yellow River Delta was 90 g in 100 mL sterile bottles simulated at 25 °C with soil: petroleum = 10:1 in the incubator for four months. The samples were detected at 60 and 120 days along with untreated soil and aged Oil Sludge (O) as control. The results showed that all the samples were alkaline (pH 7.99-8.83), which the salinity and NO3- content of incubate soil followed the in situ samples as P (1.09-1.72‰, 8.02-8.17 mg kg-1), C (10.61-13.79‰, 5.99-6.07 mg kg-1), S (10.19-12.43‰, 3.64-4.22 mg kg-1), B (31.85-32.45‰, 3.56-3.72 mg kg-1) and O (31.61-34.30‰, 0.89-0.90 mg kg-1). NO3- and organic carbon decreased after incubation, which the polluted samples (86.63-92.63 g kg-1) still had higher organic carbon than untreated ones with more NH4+ consumption. The high-throughput sequence results showed that the Gammaproteobacteria and Alphaproteobacteria were dominant in all samples, while sulfate reducting bacteria Alphaproteobacteria decreased at 120 days. Meanwhile, the electroactive Gammaproteobacteria might symbiosis with Methanosaetaceae and Methanosarcinaceae, degrading petroleum after electron receptors depletion. Nitrososphaeraceae and Nitrosopumilaceae oxidise NH4+ to NO2- for intra-aerobic anaerobes and denitrifying bacteria producing oxygen for biodegradation in polluted Phragmites Communis soil. The halotolerant Halomicrobiaceae and Haloferacaceae predominated in saline Chinese Tamarisk, Suaeda Salsa and Bare Land, which were potential electroactive degradater. As the ageing sludge formed, the hydrogen trophic methanogens Methanothermobacteraceae (73.90-92.72%) was prevalent with the petroleum pollution. In conclusion, petroleum initiated two-phase in the sludge forming progress: electron acceptor consumption and electron transfer between degradater and methanogens. Based on the results, the domestic sewage N, P removal coupling and electron transport will be the basement for polluted soils fertility improvement.

Polyphasic characterization of and genomic insights into a haloalkali-tolerant Saccharibacillus alkalitolerans sp. nov., that produces three cellulase isozymes and several antimicrobial compounds. Antonie van Leeuwenhoek 2021; 114:1043-1057.

Abstract
A cellulase producing novel bacterial strain VR-M41T was isolated from an open-air vegetable and fruit market. Cells are found to be rod-shaped, endospore forming, positive for Gram's stain and negative for catalase, oxidase and urease. Strain VR-M41T was halotolerant (upto 8.0% NaCl, w/v), motile and facultative anaerobe. It grew at wide range of pH (6.0-10.0) and temperatures (20-40 °C). Strain VR-M41T produced three isozymes of Carboxymethylcellulase. The 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain VR-M41T was 97.3% similar to both Saccharibacillus kuerlensis DSM 22868T and Saccharibacillus sacchari DSM 19268T, and less than 96.4% with the rest of the valid species of the genus Saccharibacillus. Whole-genome ANI, dDDH and genome phylogenetic tree analysis revealed that strain VR-M41T significantly differed from Saccharibacillus kuerlensis DSM 22868T and Saccharibacillus sacchari DSM 19268T (ANI 79.6-79.7% and dDDH 23.1%). The strain comprised of MK-7 and anteiso-C 15:0 (42.2%) as predominant isoprenoid quinone and fatty acid respectively. Major polar lipids were found to be diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylethanolamine. The draft genome of strain VR-M41T consisted of 5,386,426 base pairs with 5103 annotated genes, out of which 2147 corresponded to hypothetical proteins and 2956 with functional assignments. Pan-genome analysis revealed the presence of 2998 core genes, 828 accessory genes, and 1131 unique genes of Saccharibacillus. Strain VR-M41T produced antimicrobials against Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Micrococcus luteus and Shigella flexneri. Significant phenotypic and genotypic differentiating characteristics from closely related species, indicated that strain VR-M41T is a novel species of the genus Saccharibacillus, for which the name Saccharibacillus alkalitolerans sp. nov., is proposed. The type strain is VR-M41T (= KCTC 43183T=NBRC 114337T).
