Publication year: 2010Source: Environmental Pollution, In Press, Corrected Proof, Available online 30 August 2010Ika, Paul-Pont , Xavier, de Montaudouin , Patrice, Gonzalez , Florence, Jude , Natalie, Raymond , ...In natural environment, marine organisms are concomitantly exposed to pollutants and multiple disease agents resulting in detrimental interactions. The present study evaluated interactive effects of metal contamination (cadmium) and pathogenic organisms (trematode parasites Himasthla elongata and pathogenic bacteria Vibrio tapetis) singularly and in combination on the bivalve Ruditapes philippinarum, an introduced species to Europe, under laboratory controlled conditions. After 7 days, metal bioaccumulation and pathogen load were analyzed as well as metallothionein (MT) response and hemocyte concentrations and activities. Results showed that infection by opportunistic pathogens affects metal accumulation, leading to maximal Cd accumulation in co-infected clams. Among stressors only...Co-infection by opportunistic pathogens affects metal accumulation and some defense-related activities in the Manila clam Ruditapes philippinarum.

Exothermic processes in industrial-scale piles of chipped pine-wood are linked to shifts in gamma-, alphaproteobacterial and fungal ascomycete communities

2010-09-02T01:34:50+01:00

Publication year: 2010Source: International Biodeterioration & Biodegradation, In Press, Corrected Proof, Available online 30 August 2010Matthias, Noll , Annette, Naumann , Fabio, Ferrero , Marcus, MalowFast growing softwood species such as pine are preferred for biomass-based heat as well as electricity production and stored in large quantities. A newly established outdoor pile of freshly cut pine-wood chips was monitored to analyze exothermic processes. Inside the pile, a mean temperature increase of up to 44°C was measured after six days of piling which was paralleled by a decrease of O2-concentration and an increase of CO2-concentration. Thereafter four additional CO2 maxima were observed, while O2-concentration remained at ambient concentration. The fungal community structure remained almost unchanged after four weeks, while the bacterial community structure was characterized by...

RPB2 sequences reveal a close phylogenetic relationship between tetraploid Hordelymus and diploid Hordeum species in Triticeae (Poaceae)

2010-09-02T01:34:39+01:00

Publication year: 2010Source: Biochemical Systematics and Ecology, In Press, Corrected Proof, Available online 30 August 2010Xiaodi, Zhang , Genlou, SunThe origin of Hordelymus genome has been debated for years, and no consensus conclusion was reached. In this study, we sequenced and analyzed the RPB2 (RNA polymerase subunit II) gene from Hordelymus europaeus (L.) Harz, and its potential diploid ancestor species those were suggested in previous studies. The focus of this study was to examine the phylogenetic relationship of Hordelymus genomes with its potential donor Hordeum, Psathyrostachys, and Taeniatherum species. Two distinguishable copies of sequences were obtained from H. europaeus. The obvious difference between the two copies of sequences is a 24 bp indel (insertion/deletion). Phylogenetic analysis showed a strong...Â Research highlights:Â â–º A 24 bp indel in rpb2 gene was found between two sequences from H. europaeus. â–º One genome in tetraploid H. europaeus closely related to the genome in Hordeum species. â–º No obvious relationship was found between Hordelymus and either the Ta genome or the Ns genome. â–º Our data further confirms that Hordelymus europaeus is allopolyploid.

Agromyces flavus sp. nov., an actinomycete isolated from a soil sample from Qinghai-Tibet plateau, China. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol. 2010 Aug 27; Authors: Chen J, Chen HM, Zhang YQ, Wei YZ, Li QP, Liu HY, Su J, Zhang YQ, Yu LY A Gram-positive, non-motile strain, designated CPCC 202695T, was isolated from a soil sample collected from Qinghai-Tibet plateau, Northwest of China. The strain CPCC 202695T contained rhamnose, glucose and galactose in the cell wall as diagnostic sugars, and 2,4-diaminobutyric acid, alanine, glutamic acid and glycine in the peptidoglycan. The polar lipids consisted of diphosphatidylglycerol (DPG), phosphatidylglycerol (PG) and two unknown glycolipids (GL). MK-12 was the predominant menaquinone, and anteiso-C15: 0 (34.2%), iso-C15: 0 (19.8%), iso-C16: 0 (12.7%), and anteiso-C17: 0 (11.1%) were the major fatty acids. 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities (94.2-97.1 %) between the isolate and the type strains of all recognized species of the genus Agromyces indicated that strain CPCC 202695T was a member of the genus Agromyces. DNA-DNA relatedness clearly separated strain CPCC 202695T the closest relatives. The phenotypic and genotypic data demonstrated that strain CPCC 202695T represented a novel species of the genus Agromyces. Therefore, Agromyces flavus sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is CPCC 202695T (= KCTC 19578T = CCM 7623T). PMID: 20802064 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Jeotgalicoccus halophilus sp. nov., isolated from salt lakes in Xinjiang, China. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol. 2010 Aug 27; Authors: Liu WY, Jiang LL, Guo CJ, Yang SS Two moderately halophilic bacterial strains C1-52T and YD-9, isolated from Daban and Aiding salt lakes in Xinjiang, China, respectively, were identified using a polyphasic approach. The strains were Gram-positive, non-endospore-forming, non-motile, facultatively anaerobic and coccus-shaped bacteria. Colonies were pale yellow in colour and light pink diffusible pigment was produced after a few additional days incubation. The two strains grew optimally in the presence of 2-3 % (w/v) NaCl, pH 7.5 and at 30-35 degrees C. The peptidoglycan type was L-Lys-Gly3-4-L-Ala(Gly). The menaquinones were MK-7 (83.2%) and MK-6 (16.8%). The major fatty acids were anteiso-C15:0 and iso-C15:0. The DNA G+C contents of strains C1-52T and YD-9 were 41.2 mol% and 41.0 mol%, respectively. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strains C1-52T and YD-9 were closely related to Jeotgalicoccus psychrophilus JCM 11199T (98% and 97.1%), followed by Jeotgalicoccus halotolerans JCM 11198T (97.1% and 96.8%), respectively. DNA-DNA hybridization revealed that strains C1-52T and YD-9 shared 20% and 11% relatedness with J. halotolerans JCM 11198T, 8 % and 13% with J. psychrophilus JCM 11199T. The hybridization value between the two strains was 91%. On the basis of phenotypic and phylogenetic distinctiveness, the strains C1-52T and YD-9 were the same species that should be placed in the genus Jeotgalicoccus as a new species, for which the name Jeotgalicoccus halophilus sp. nov. was proposed. The type strain is C1-52T (=CGMCC 1.8911T = NBRC 105788T). PMID: 20802063 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Tumebacillus ginsengisoli sp. nov., isolated from soil of a ginseng field. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol. 2010 Aug 27; Authors: Baek SH, Cui Y, Yi TH, Cui CH, Yin C, Lee ST, Im WT A Gram-positive, rod-shaped, spore-forming bacterium, designated Gsoil 1105(T), was isolated from soil of a ginseng field in Pocheon Province in South Korea and characterized in order to determine its taxonomic position. Comparative analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence showed that the isolate belongs to the order Bacillales, showing the highest level of sequence similarity with respect to Tumebacillus permanentifrigoris Eur1 9.5(T) (94.6 %). The phylogenetic distances from other described species with validly published names within the order Bacillales were greater than 9.0 %. Strain Gsoil 1105(T) had a genomic DNA G+C content of 55.6 mol% and menaquinone 7 (MK-7) as major respiratory quinone. The major fatty acids were iso-C(15:0) and anteiso-C(15:0). On the basis of its phenotypic properties and phylogenetic distinctiveness, strain Gsoil 1105(T) represents a novel species of the genus Tumebacillus, for which the name Tumebacillus ginsengisoli sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is Gsoil 1105(T) (= KCTC 13942(T) = DSM 18389(T)). PMID: 20802062 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Modestobacter marinus sp. nov., a psychrotolerant actinobacterium from deep-sea sediment and emended description of the genus Modestobacter. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol. 2010 Aug 27; Authors: Xiao J, Luo Y, Xu J, Xie S, Xu J The taxonomic status of a colour-changing actinobacterium, strain 42H12-1T, that was isolated from deep-sea sediment collected from the Atlantic Ocean was established using a combination of genotypic and phenotypic data. Strain 42H12-1T formed a distinct branch in the 16S rRNA gene phylogenetic tree together with the type strains in the genus Modestobacter. The highest sequence similarity of 98.5% to Modestobacter versicolor DSM 16678T and the second-highest sequence similarity of 97.5% to Modestobacter multiseptatus DSM 44406T were observed in the blast search against strain 42H12-1T. DNA-DNA relatedness of only 12% (standard deviation, 1.82%) between strain 42H12-1T and M. versicolor DSM 16678T differentiated them as separate genomic species. The colonies of strain 42H12-1T were black on oligotrophic medium, but orange to red, turning black on copiotrophic medium. The peptidoglycan contained meso-diaminopimelic acid. The polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylinositol and an unknown aminophospholipid. The predominant menaquinone was MK-9(H4). The major fatty acids were iso-C16:0 and C17:1omega8c. The DNA G+C content was 72.3+/-1 mol%. Strain 42H12-1T (=DSM 45201T=CGMCC 4.5581T) is assigned as the type strain of a novel species in the genus Modestobacter, for which the name Modestobacter marinus sp. nov. is proposed.

Rhizomicrobium electricum sp. nov., a facultatively anaerobic, fermentative, prosthecate bacterium isolated from a cellulose-fed microbial fuel cell. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol. 2010 Aug 27; Authors: Kodama Y, Watanabe K A facultatively anaerobic, prosthecate bacterium, strain Mfc52T, was isolated from a microbial fuel cell (MFC) inoculated with soil and fed with cellulose as the sole fuel. Cells were Gram-negative, non-spore-forming, straight or slightly curved rods, and some of them had one or two polar prosthecae (stalks). Cells reproduced by binary fission or by budding from mother cells having prosthecae. Strain Mfc52T fermented various sugars and produced lactate, acetate and fumarate. Ferric iron, nitrate, oxygen and fumarate served as electron acceptors, while sulfate and malate did not. Nitrate was reduced to nitrite. The DNA G + C content was 64.7 mol%. On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence phylogeny, strain Mfc52T was affiliated with the genus Rhizomicrobium in the class Alphaproteobacteria and most closely related to R. palustre with a sequence similarity of 97 %. Based on these physiological and phylogenetic characteristics, the name Rhizomicrobium electricum sp. nov. is proposed; the type strain is strain Mfc52T (= JCM 15089T = KTCC 5806T).

Sphingobium wenxiniae sp. nov., a synthetic pyrethroids (SPs)-degrading bacterium isolated from activated sludge in a SPs-manufacturing wastewater treatment facility. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol. 2010 Aug 27; Authors: Wang BZ, Guo P, Zheng JW, Hang BJ, Li L, He J, Li SP The taxonomic status of a synthetic pyrethroids (SPs)-degrading bacterial strain, isolated from activated sludge of a SPs-manufacturing wastewater treatment facility, was determined using a polyphasic taxonomic approach. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strain JZ-1T belonged to the genus Sphingobium, as it showed highest sequence similarities to Sphingobium faniae DSM 21829T (98.6 %), Sphingobium cloacae JCM 10874T (98.5 %), Sphingobium vermicomposti DSM 21299T (97.4 %) and Sphingobium ummariense CCM 7431T (96.9 %). The polar lipid pattern, the presence of spermidine and ubiquinone Q-10, the predominance of the cell fatty acids C18:1omega7c, C19:0 cyclo omega8c, 11 methyl C18:1omega7c, C16:0 and C14:0 2-OH and the G+C content of the genomic DNA also supported the affiliation of the strain to the genus Sphingobium. Strain JZ-1T showed low DNA-DNA relatedness values with Sphingobium faniae DSM 21829T (30.2 %), Sphingobium cloacae JCM 10874T (23.3 %), Sphingobium vermicomposti DSM 21299T (10.9 %) and Sphingobium ummariense CCM 7431T (7.9 %), respectively. Based on the results of phenotypic, genotypic and phylogenetic properties, strain JZ-1T represents a novel species of the genus Sphingobium, for which the name Sphingobium wenxiniae sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is JZ-1T (=CGMCC 1.7748T =DSM 21828T). PMID: 20802059 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Salinarimonas ramus sp. nov. and Tessaracoccus oleiagri sp. nov., isolated from a crude oil contaminated saline soil. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol. 2010 Aug 27; Authors: Cai M, Wang L, Cai H, Li Y, Wang YN, Tang YQ, Wu XL Four bacterial strains, SL014B-41A4T, SL014B-20A1T, SL014B-76A1 and SL014B-79A, isolated from a crude oil contaminated saline soil of Shengli Oilfield in China, were investigated using a polyphasic approach. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed strain SL014B-41A4T belonged to the genus Salinarimonas in the order Rhizobiales, with the highest similarity of 98.3 % to type strain Salinarimonas rosea YIM YD3T. The DNA-DNA relatedness of strain SL014B-41A4T to S. rosea YIM YD3T was 27.03+/-3.0 %. Strain SL014B-41A4T was Gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic and produced deep red pigment in artificial seawater medium. Cells of strain SL014B-41A4T were rod-shaped (0.6-4.0x1.25-25 microm), motile with single polar flagellum and often formed branches. The strain contained Q-10 as the predominant respiratory ubiquinone and C18:1omegac (57.5 %), C16:0 (16.4 %) and 10-methyl C19:0 (9.1 %) as the major fatty acids. Strains SL014B-20A1T, SL014B-76A1 and SL014B-79A were actinobacteria and belonged to the genus Tessaracoccus in the family Propionibacteriaceae of the order Actinomycetales with the highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities of 96.4 % with Tessaracoccus flavescens DSM 18582T, 96.2 % with Tessaracoccus lubricantis DSM 19926T and 94.7 % with Tessaracoccus bendigoensis DSM 12906T. Strains SL014B-20A1T, SL014B-76A1 and SL014B-79A were Gram-positive, facultatively anaerobic, non-endospore-forming, non-motile, acid-fast and oval to rod-shaped (0.48x0.5-1.0 microm). These three strains had LL-DAP as the diagnostic diamino acid in cell wall, MK-9(H4) as the only menaquinone and anteiso-C15:0 (67.11-76.14 %) as the major cellular fatty acid. The G + C contents of genomic DNA of strain SL014B-41A4T and strains SL014B-20A1T, SL014B-76A1 and SL014B-79A were 67.68 mol % and 65.65-67.17 mol %, respectively. Based on the phenotypic and genotypic characteristics, strain SL014B-41A4T represents a novel species of the genus Salinarimonas, for which the name Salinarimonas ramus is proposed, with strain SL014B-41A4T (= DSM 22962 T = CGMCC 1.9161T) as the type strain. The strains SL014B-20A1T, SL014B-76A1 and SL014B-79A also represent a novel species of the genus Tessaracoccus, for which the name Tessaracoccus oleiagri is proposed, with strain SL014B-20A1T (= DSM 22955T = CGMCC 1.9159T) as the type strain.

Breoghania corrubedonensis gen. nov. sp. nov., a novel alphaproteobacterium isolated from a Galician beach (NW Spain) after the Prestige fuel oil spill, and emended description of the family Cohaesibacteraceae and the species Cohaesibacter gelatinilyticus. Syst Appl Microbiol. 2010 Aug 27; Authors: Gallego S, Vila J, Nieto JM, Urdiain M, RossellÃ³-MÃ³ra R, Grifoll M A Gram-negative bacterium designated UBF-P1(T) was isolated from an enrichment culture established in nutrient supplemented artificial sea water with pyrene as a carbon source, and inoculated with a marine fuel oil-degrading consortium obtained from a sand sample collected from the beach of Corrubedo (A CoruÃ±a, Galicia, Spain) after the Prestige accidental oil spill. Phylogenetic analysis based on the almost complete 16S rRNA gene sequence affiliated strain UBF-P1(T) with the family Cohaesibacteraceae, Cohaesibacter gelatinilyticus (DSM 18289(T)) being the closest relative species with 92% sequence similarity. Cells were irregular rods, motile, strictly aerobic, catalase and oxidase positive. Ubiquinone 10 was the major respiratory lipoquinone. The major polar lipids comprised diphosphatidylglycerol (DPG), phosphatidylglycerol (PG), phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), phosphatidylmonomethylethanolamine (PME), and phosphatidylcholine (PC). The major fatty acids detected were C(18:1)omega7c, C(19:0) cycloomega8c, and C(16:0). The G+C content of strain UBF-P1(T) was 63.9mol%. The taxonomic comparison with the closest relative based on genotypic, phenotypic and chemotaxonomic characteristics supported that strain UBF-P1(T) could be classified as a novel genus and species, for which the name Breoghania corrubedonensis gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of this new taxon is UBF-P1(T) (CECT 7622, LMG 25482, DSM 23382). PMID: 20801595 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

J Microbiol. 2010 Aug;48(4):536-40 Authors: Joung Y, Kim H, Joh K A non-motile red-pigmented bacterium, designated strain HMD1002(T), was isolated from an artificial lake located on the campus of Hankuk University of Foreign Studies, South Korea. The major fatty acids were iso-C(15:0) (29.6%), Summed Feature 3 (comprising C(16:1) omega7c and/or iso-C(15:0) 2-OH; 17.5%) and iso-C(17:0) 3-OH (12.5%). The major isoprenoid quinone was menaquinone-7 (MK-7). The DNA G+C content was 41.0 mol%. A phylogenetic tree based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain HMD1002(T) formed a lineage in the genus Pedobacer and was closely related to Pedobacer terrae (96.3%) and Pedobacer suwonensis (95.8%) in sequence similarity. On the basis of the evidence presented in this study, strain HMD1002(T) represents a novel species of the genus Pedobacter, for which the name Pedobacter yonginense sp.nov. is proposed. The type strain is HMD1002(T) (=KCTC 22721(T) = CEC(T) 7544(T)). PMID: 20799098 [PubMed - in process]

J Microbiol. 2010 Aug;48(4):433-7 Authors: Oh YS, Kahng HY, Lee YS, Yoon BJ, Lim SB, Jung JS, Oh DC, Lee DH A strictly aerobic, red-pigmented, non-motile, catalase- and oxidase-positive, Gram-staining-negative bacterium, designated strain CNURIC011(T), was isolated from seawater off the coast of Jeju Island in Korea. A phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain CNURIC011(T) belongs to the genus Aquimarina in the family Flavobacteriaceae. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis revealed that the close relatives of the novel strain are Aquimarina latercula ATCC 23177(T), Aquimarina marcrocephali JAMB N27(T), Aquimarina intermedia KMM 6258(T), Aquimarina muelleri KMM 6020(T), and Aquimarina brevivitae SMK-19(T), with sequence similarities of 97.6, 96.6, 96.0, 95.6, and 94.2%, respectively. DNA-DNA hybridization revealed that the level of relatedness between strain CNURIC011(T) and Aquimarina latercula ATCC 23177(T) (=KCTC 2912(T)) was 4.9%. The DNA G+C content was 35.8 mol% and the major respiratory quinone was MK-6. The major fatty acids were iso-C(15:0) (14.9%), C(15:0) (13.9%), iso-C(17:0) 3-OH (12.6%), iso-C(15:1) G (7.3%), and iso-C(17:1) omega9c (7.2%). On the basis of phenotypic, phylogenetic, and genotypic data, strain CNURIC011(T) represents a novel species within the genus Aquimarina, for which the name Aquimarina litoralis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is CNURIC011(T) (=KCTC 22614(T) =JCM 15974(T)). PMID: 20799083 [PubMed - in process]

(Cyclophyllidea: Hymenolepididae), a new cestode species from the shrews of Sakhalin Island] Parazitologiia. 2010 May-Jun;44(3):232-9 Authors: A new species Soricinia sawadai sp. n. parasitizing shrews of Sakhalin Island (Sores unguiculatus and S. caecutiens) is described. The new species differs from other species of the genus Soricinia Spassky et Spasskaja, 1954 in having specific armament and size of the cirrus. Soricinia sawadai sp. n. differs from S. aurita (Irzhavsky et al., 2005) in having half size of the ovary (0.076-0.08 x 0.03-0.038 versus 0.135-0.14 x 0.037-0.04) and the cirrus bursa extending into the aporal fraction of the middle part of segment. The new species differs from S. quarta (Karpenko, 1983) in having half size of the cirrus (0.025-0.026 versus 0.05-0.055) and half number of hexacants in uterine segments (20-22 versus 40-45). The new species differs from S. infirma (Zarnowski, 1955) in having other cirrus armament, larger number of segments and lesser number of hexacants. The species Insectivorolepis macracetobulosa Sawada et Koyasu, 1991 parasitizing Sorex unguiculatus on Hokkaido Island is synonymized with Soricinia quarta. The species Insectivorolepis macracetobulosa sensu Sawada et Harada, 1993 parasitizing Sorex shinto shinto on Honshu Island is described as a separate species Soricinia haradai sp. n.

Description of Paratetrahymena parawassi n. sp. using Morphological and Molecular Evidence and a Phylogenetic Analysis of Paratetrahymena and Other Taxonomically Ambiguous Genera in the Order Loxocephalida (Ciliophora, Oligohymenophorea).

Related Articles Description of Paratetrahymena parawassi n. sp. using Morphological and Molecular Evidence and a Phylogenetic Analysis of Paratetrahymena and Other Taxonomically Ambiguous Genera in the Order Loxocephalida (Ciliophora, Oligohymenophorea). J Eukaryot Microbiol. 2010 Aug 26; Authors: Zhang Q, Fan X, Clamp JC, Al-Rasheid KA, Song W ABSTRACT. The marine scuticociliate Paratetrahymena parawassi n. sp. is described on the basis of morphology, especially infraciliature, and the sequence of its small subunit (SSU) rRNA gene to become the second known member of its genus. Paratetrahymena and other ciliates in the order Loxocephalida possess a mixture of morphological and morphogenetic features characteristic of the subclasses Hymenostomatia and Scuticociliatia. Accordingly, we used SSU rRNA sequences to analyze the phylogeny of Paratetrahymena and three other loxocephalid genera. Paratetrahymena and Cardiostomatella vermiformis formed a moderately well-supported clade that diverged at a deep level from all other scuticociliates, supporting separation of loxocephalids from other scuticociliates as a suprafamilial taxon. Sathrophilus holtae was a sister taxon to Paratetrahymena and Cardiostomatella in a poorly supported, unresolved relationship; nevertheless, association of all three genera into a single clade was supported by an approximately unbiased (AU) test. Any association of these genera singly or as a group with the Hymenostomatia was rejected decisively by AU tests and by a complete absence in the loxocephalids of the unique nucleotide identities that distinguish hymenostomes. Therefore, the morphological and morphogenetic similarities of loxocephalids to hymenostomes may be plesiomorphies, and the conflicting mix of scuticociliate and hymenostome characteristics seen in loxocephalids may result from differing rates of character evolution. Dexiotrichides pangi and Urocentrum, which is currently classified as a peniculid, formed a small clade that associated with hymenostomes and peritrichs. Monophyly of the Loxocephalida with Dexiotrichides and/or Urocentrum included was not rejected by AU; however, inclusion of Urocentrum in the Peniculia was rejected by AU tests. A hypothesis is offered to explain the lack of resolution of loxocephalid ciliates and Urocentrum in phylogenetic trees, namely that their phylogenetic positions are influenced by a combination of heterogeneous data and long-branch attraction caused by poor representation of taxa in analyses. The well-known genus Cyclidium, a member of the order Pleuronematida, was revealed to be polyphyletic as a byproduct of our analyses of loxocephalids. In particular, Cyclidium porcatum appears to fall outside the clade containing typical members of the subclass Scuticociliatia and thus invites investigation as a possible member of the order Loxocephalida.

Litomosoides (nemata: filarioidea) of bats from bolivia with records for three known species and the description of a new species. J Parasitol. 2010 Aug;96(4):775-82 Authors: Notarnicola J, RuÃƒÂz FA, Gardner SL Abstract Herein, we describe Litomosoides salazari n. sp. collected from the body cavity of the yellow bat, Lasiurus ega , from Bolivia. This new species of filarioid nematode is most closely related to the carinii group and is characterized by its relatively small size with the vulva located slightly posterior to the esophago-intestinal junction; an arrow-shaped buccal capsule; and a short, rounded tail. New host and locality records for both Litomosoides hamletti and L. chandleri in phyllostomid bats, and L. brasiliensis occurring in both phyllostomid and vespertilionid bats, are provided. The morphological variability of the specimens is documented by providing comparative measurements of 3 known species. Litomosoides brasiliensis occurs in 6 species of bats from Bolivia and was the most common species of filarioid nematode encountered. All 4 species of nematodes, including the new species, were found in sympatry at Chijchijpa, a locality in the Yungas of Bolivia. PMID: 20738202 [PubMed - in process]

A New Species of Capillaria (Nematoda: Capillariidae) from the Intestine of the Marine Fish Acanthopagrus schlegelii schlegelii (Sparidae) from Japan. J Parasitol. 2010 Aug;96(4):771-4 Authors: Moravec F, Nagasawa K, Madinabeitia I Abstract A new nematode species, Capillaria acanthopagri n. sp. (Capillariidae), is described from the intestine of the marine fish (black porgy) Acanthopagrus schlegelii schlegelii (Bleeker) from coastal waters of the western north Pacific Ocean off Kochi, Shikoku Island, Japan. The new species, belonging to the subgenus Neocapillaria Moravec, 1987 , differs from other congeneric species of this subgenus from marine fishes (with the exception of C. navonae Timi, Rossin and Lanfranchi, 2006 ) mainly in the length (204-285 microm), shape, and structure of the spicule; and except for C. cooperi Johnston and Mawson, 1945, in markedly small body measurements (males and females 3-4 and 6-10 mm long, respectively). It is characterized by the presence of 33-43 elongate stichocytes; a heavily sclerotized spicule with rough transverse grooves; a spinous spicular sheath; and by eggs measuring 27-30 x 57-60 microm, without protruding polar plugs. Capillaria acanthopagri n. sp. is the first known species of Neocapillaria parasitizing fishes of the perciform Sparidae and the second species of this subgenus recorded from fishes of the Pacific Ocean.

A new genus and species of gyrodactylid (monogenea) from silver hake, merluccius bilinearis , in the bay of fundy, new brunswick, Canada. J Parasitol. 2010 Aug;96(4):681-4 Authors: Cone D, Abbott C, Gilmore S, Burt M Abstract Gyrocerviceanseris passamaquoddyensis n. gen., n. sp. is described from the gills of silver hake, Merluccius bilinearis , in Passamaquoddy Bay, southwestern New Brunswick, Canada. Diagnostic features include an oval haptor with asymmetrically distributed marginal hooks (3 pairs anterior, 5 pairs posterior) and a prominent muscular flange on the lateral margins, between the anterior and posterior groups of hooks. The hamuli are well developed, with a straight point, a short shaft, and an elongate, blade-like ventral root having a ventrally directed, gooseneck-shaped tip. The ventral bar is rectangular, with a small, hourglass-shaped posterior membrane. There is no dorsal bar. The marginal hook sickle is sharply curved, with a long fine point, an upturned toe, a small heel, and a straight handle. A partial DNA sequence from 18S rDNA was generated and found to be over 11% divergent from its closest matches in GenBank. However, it was less divergent (7.8%) from a previously unpublished sequence of Gyrodactylus emembranatus Malmberg, 1970 , suggesting this species is its closest known relative. Interestingly, both species have almost identical marginal hook sickles and a male copulatory organ (MCO) with small spines in multiple arched rows. Gyrocerviceanseris n. gen. is the sixth genus of viviparous monogeneans to be described from marine and estuarine fishes of the northwestern Atlantic Ocean. PMID: 20738197 [PubMed - in process]

Parasitol Int. 2010 Aug 18; Authors: Cutmore SC, Bennett MB, Cribb TH Anaporrhutine gorgoderids (Digenea: Gorgoderidae: Anaporrhutinae) found in the body cavity of six species of elasmobranchs from the orders Carcharhiniformes, Myliobatiformes and Orectolobiformes from Australian waters were found to belong to the genus Staphylorchis. Although these specimens were morphologically variable, sequences of ITS2 and 28S ribosomal DNA from specimens from three host families and two host orders were identical. Based on morphological and molecular data these specimens were identified as the type-species of the genus, Staphylorchis cymatodes. New measurements are provided for S. cymatodes, and for the first time genetic data are presented for this species. In addition to providing new morphological and molecular data for S. cymatodes, the previously described species S. gigas, S. parisi and S. scoliodonii, are here synonymised with S. cymatodes. This implies that S. cymatodes, as conceived here, has remarkably low host-specificity, being recorded from eight elasmobranch species from four families and three orders, has a wide geographical distribution in the Indo-west Pacific from off India, in the Bay of Bengal, to Moreton Bay in the Coral Sea, and is morphologically plastic, with body size, size of specific organs and body shape differing dramatically between specimens from different host species. The genus Staphylorchis now contains only two valid species, S. cymatodes and S. pacifica. PMID: 20727983 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

(Digenea: Aporocotylidae) from the myocardial lacunae of Florida pompano, Trachinotus carolinus (Carangidae) in the Gulf of Mexico; with a comment on the interrelationships and functional morphology of intertrabecular aporocotylids. Parasitol Int. 2010 Aug 20; Authors: Bullard SA Littorellicola billhawkinsi n. gen., n. sp. infects the myocardial lacunae of the ventricle and atrium of Florida pompano, Trachinotus carolinus in the northern Gulf of Mexico. It differs from other aporocotylid genera by the combination of having a body 10-30 x longer than wide, a posterolateral body protuberance, lateral spine rows, an aspinous anterior sucker comprising a slightly muscular rim circumscribing the mouth, asymmetrical posterior ceca 14-20 x length of the anterior ceca and lacking diverticula or secondary rami, tens of testes distributing in a cobblestone-like field anterior and posterior to the distal ends of the posterior ceca, an oviducal seminal receptacle comprising the distal portion of the oviduct, and a post-cecal ovary plus by lacking rosethorn-shaped spines, a pharynx, and a Laurer's canal. The new species appears host specific to Florida pompano because no conspecific infection was detected in 134 carangids of 8 species in 4 genera captured nearby the type locality. Psettarium sebastodorum Holmes, 1971 is transferred to the new genus, as Littorellicola sebastodorum (Holmes, 1971) n. comb., because it and the new species differ from species of Psettarium by the combination of having multiple testes plus 8 other features detailed herein. This report brings the number of nominal Gulf of Mexico aporocotylids to 12 species of 8 genera, represents only the second record of an aporocotylid from a carangid there, and supports the notion that elongate, "thread-like" aporocotylids with lateral spine rows are seemingly well-adapted for infecting myocardial lacunae or embedding in the myocardium of their definitive fish hosts.

(Protozoa, Ciliophora) from A Mangrove Wetland, South China. J Eukaryot Microbiol. 2010 Aug 24; Authors: Pan H, Gao F, Li J, Lin X, Al-Farraj SA, Al-Rasheid KA ABSTRACT. The morphology, infraciliature, and small subunit (SSU) rRNA gene sequences of two new pleurostomatid ciliates, Epiphyllum shenzhenense n. sp. and Loxophyllum spirellum n. sp., isolated from a mangrove wetland near Shenzhen, South China, were investigated. Epiphyllum shenzhenense n. sp. is morphologically characterized by leaf-shaped cell about 150 x 35 mum in vivo, usually with four contractile vacuoles, 20-29 right kineties and 10-26 left kineties, ca. four macronuclear nodules, and two types of extrusomes (i.e. short spindle-shaped and long bar-shaped). As a new species, L. spirellum n. sp. is distinguished from its congeners by its posterior dorsal margin twisted onto the left side, the distribution of extrusomes (evenly arranged along the oral slit, the posterior end, and clustered to 7-13 warts on dorsal margin), the subterminally positioned contractile vacuole, the number of kineties (8-10 on right side, 4-5 on left side), and its genetic distance from congeners. Phylogenetic trees based on the SSU rRNA gene sequence for both organisms were constructed, which indicate that Epiphyllum is a distinct genus and occupies a basal position in the Pleurostomatida clade; L. spirellum n. sp. falls well into the Loxophyllum clade, which has a close relationship with Litonotus and Spiroloxophyllum.

Desulfurococcus fermentans sp. nov., a novel hyperthermophilic archaeon from a Kamchatka hot spring, and emended description of the genus Desulfurococcus

2010-08-24T12:35:15+01:00

Int J Syst Evol Microbiol, Vol. 55, No. 3. (1 May 2005), pp. 995-999.An obligately anaerobic, hyperthermophilic, organoheterotrophic archaeon, strain Z-1312T, was isolated from a freshwater hot spring of the Uzon caldera (Kamchatka Peninsula, Russia). The cells were regular cocci, 1-4 microm in diameter, with one long flagellum. The cell envelope was composed of a globular layer attached to the cytoplasmic membrane. The temperature range for growth was 63-89 degreesC, with an optimum between 80 and 82 degreesC. The pH range for growth at 80 degreesC was 4middle dot8-6middle dot8, with an optimum at pH 6middle dot0. Strain Z-1312T grew by hydrolysis and/or fermentation of a wide range of polymeric and monomeric substrates, including agarose, amygdalin, arabinose, arbutin, casein hydrolysate, cellulose (filter paper, microcrystalline cellulose, carboxymethyl cellulose), dextran, dulcitol, fructose, lactose, laminarin, lichenan, maltose, pectin, peptone, ribose, starch and sucrose. No growth was detected on glucose, xylose, mannitol or sorbitol. Growth products when sucrose or starch were used as the substrate were acetate, H2 and CO2. Elemental sulfur, thiosulfate and nitrate added as potential electron acceptors for anaerobic respiration did not stimulate growth when tested with starch as the substrate. H2 at 100 % in the gas phase did not inhibit growth on starch or peptone. The G+C content of the DNA was 42middle dot5 mol%. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis placed the isolated strain Z-1312T as a member of the genus Desulfurococcus, where it represented a novel species, for which the name Desulfurococcus fermentans sp. nov. (type strain Z-1312T=DSM 16532 T=VKM V-2316T) is proposed. 10.1099/ijs.0.63378-0AA Perevalova, VA Svetlichny, IV Kublanov, NA Chernyh, NA Kostrikina, TP Tourova, BB Kuznetsov, EA Bonch-Osmolovskaya

Zhihengliuella aestuarii sp. nov., isolated from tidal flat sediment. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol. 2010 Aug 20; Authors: Baik KS, Lim CH, Park SC, Choe HN, Kim HJ, Kim D, Lee KH, Seong CN A Gram-positive, ovoid to short rod shaped and yellow pigmented bacterium, designated strain DY66T, was isolated from tidal flat sediment collected from Deukryang Bay (Republic of Korea), and its taxonomic position was investigated by using a polyphasic approach. Stain DY66T grew optimally at 30 degrees C and in pH 8-9 and 2 % (w/v) NaCl. The peptidoglycan type was A4alpha, L-Lys-L-Ala-D-Glu and tyvelose and glucose were the major cell-wall sugars. The predominant menaquinones were MK-10 and MK-9. Major cellular fatty acids (>10 % of total) were anteiso-C15:0 and iso-C15:0. The polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylglycerol, one unknown aminophospholipid and three unknown aminolipids. The DNA G+C content is 59.1 mol%. These chemotaxonomic profiles supported the assignment of stain DY66T within the genus Zhihengliuella. Also, phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strain DY66T belonged to the family Micrococcaceae and was related to the genus Zhihengliuella. On the basis of the evidences presented in this study, strain DY66T represents a new species of the genus Zhihengliuella, for which a new name, Zhihengliuella aestuarii sp. nov., is proposed. The type strain of the new species is strain DY66T (= KCTC 19557T = JCM 16364T). PMID: 20729314 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Cellulomonas phragmiteti sp. nov., a cellulolytic bacterium isolated from reed (Phragmites australis) periphyton in a Hungarian shallow soda pond. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol. 2010 Aug 20; Authors: RusznyÃ¡k A, TÃ³th EM, Schumann P, SprÃ¶er C, Makk J, SzabÃ³ G, VladÃ¡r P, MÃ¡rialigeti K, Borsodi AK An alkalitolerant and moderately halophilic strain designated KB23T, characterized by optimal growth at pH 8.0-9.0 and at 5-7 % (w/v) NaCl, was isolated from a reed (Phragmites australis) periphyton sample originating from an extremely shallow, alkaline soda pond located in Hungary. Cells of strain KB23T are Gram-positive, motile straight rods. The strain KB23T is facultatively anaerobic, catalase-positive, oxidase-negative and contains peptidoglycan of type A4beta L-Orn - D-Asp. In strain KB23T MK-9(H4) is the predominant isoprenoid quinone and ai-C15:0, C16:0, ai-C15:1 are the major cellular fatty acids. The DNA G+C content of strain KB23T is 74.8 mol%. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that this strain belongs to the genus Cellulomonas and that it is most closely related to C. flavigena DSM 20109T (97.35 %), C. terrae DB5T (96.81 %), C. iranensis OT (96.75), C. chitinilytica X.bu-bT (96.60 %), C. persica IT (96.53 %), C. composti TR7-06T (96.45 %), C. biazotea DSM 20112T (96.34 %) and C. fimi DSM 20113T (96.20 %). According to the results of DNA-DNA hybridization and physiological data, the strain represents a novel species, for which the name Cellulomonas phragmiteti sp. nov. is proposed.

Isoptericola chiayiensis sp. nov., isolated from mangrove soil of Taiwan. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol. 2010 Aug 20; Authors: Tseng M, Liao HC, Chiang WP, Yuan GF An actinomycete strain 06182M-1T which was isolated from a mangrove soil sample collected from Chiayi County in Taiwan. Phylogenetic analysis of this strain based on 16S rDNA sequences revealed 96.89% to 98.8% similarity to species of genus Isoptericola. Chemotaxonomic data determined for the isolate also supported the placement of strain 06182M-1T within the genus Isoptericola. The low level of DNA-DNA relatedness to the species of genus Isoptericloa in combination with differentiating phenotypic data demonstrated that the isolate 06182M-1T should be classified as representing a novel species of the genus Isoptericola. The name Isoptericola chiayiensis sp. nov. is proposed, with strain 06182M-1T (=BCRC 16888T =KCTC 19740 T) as the type strain. PMID: 20729312 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Yeasts in the Sugiyamaella clade associated with wood-ingesting beetles and the proposal of Candida bullrunensis sp. nov. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol. 2010 Aug 20; Authors: Houseknecht JL, Hart EL, Suh SO, Zhou JJ During a survey of yeasts associated with wood-ingesting insects, six strains of the Sugiyamaella clade were isolated from the gut of passalid and tenebrionid beetles and their inhabited decayed wood. Phylogeny based on ribosomal RNA gene sequences placed these yeasts into Sugiyamaella smithiae, Su. americana, Candida lignohabitans, and a novel species closely related to Su. americana. The only strain of the novel species, EH008, was unquestionably distinguished from its relatives by the DNA sequences and other taxonomic characteristics. Ascospore production was not observed under the laboratory conditions tested. Therefore, we propose this new species as Candida bullrunensis (EH008T = ATCC MYA-4660T = CBS 11840T).

Int J Syst Evol Microbiol. 2010 Aug 20; Authors: Srinivas TN, Reddy PV, Begum Z, Shivaji S A novel Gram-negative, coccoid shaped, non-motile bacterium, designated strain V1-41T, was isolated from a marine sediment sample collected at a depth of 200 m from Kongsfjorden, Svalbard, Arctic. The cell suspension was brownish. Cells of the strain V1-41T are positive for catalase, oxidase, lysine decarboxylase and ornithine decarboxylase and negative for gelatinase and lipase. Cells of V1-41T hydrolyze esculin, starch and urea but not casein and DNA. The fatty acids were dominated by saturated fatty acids (81.9%), with a high abundance of C12 : 0 (44.5%), anteiso-C14 : 0 (12%), C15 : 0 (7%), C16 : 0 (16.6%), and C16 : 1omega9c (17.7%). Strain V1-41T contains MK-4 and one unidentified quinone as the major respiratory quinones and diphosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylglycerol make up the phospholipid composition. The 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis indicated that Oceanisphaera litoralis and Oceanisphaera donghaensis are the closest related species, with a sequence similarity of 98.3 and 98.5 % respectively with strain V1-41T. But, DNA-DNA hybridization with Oceanisphaera litoralis DSM 15406T and Oceanisphaera donghaensis DSM 17589T showed a relatedness of only 19 and 29% with respect to strain V1-41T. Based on the low level of similarity at the DNA-DNA level and phenotypic and chemotaxonomic differences with Oceanisphaera litoralis DSM 15406T and Oceanisphaera donghaensis DSM 17589T strain V1-41T is proposed as a novel species of the genus Oceanisphaera, for which the name Oceanisphaera arctica sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of Oceanisphaera arctica sp. nov. is V1-41T (=KCTC 23013T = NBRC 106171T). PMID: 20729309 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Piscicoccus halotolerans gen. nov., sp. nov., isolated from fish sauce in Thailand. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol. 2010 Aug 20; Authors: Tanasupawat S, Thongsanit J, Thawai C, Lee KC, Lee JS Two strains of Gram-positive, catalase negative, tetrad-forming cocci, C01T and C02 isolated from fish sauce were studied systematically. They were facultative anaerobic and produced L-lactic acid from glucose. Straight-chain fatty acids of C18:1omega9c was dominant composition. The DNA G+C contents were 38.6 and 38.7 mol%. On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequences analysis, the strain C01T was closely related to Desemzia incerta DSM 20581T with 96.9% similarities. The strains could be clearly distinguished from D. incerta DSM 20581T by cell form, physiological and biochemical characteristics, the DNA G+C content, and a low DNA-DNA relatedness (</=5%). Therefore, these strains represent a novel species in the new genus of the Bacillus-Lactobacillus cluster, for which the name Piscicoccus halotolerans gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is C01T (=KCTC 13150T =TISTR 1958T =PCU 316T). PMID: 20729308 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Thiocystis chemoclinalis sp. nov. and Thiocystis cadagnonensis sp. nov., two new motile purple sulfur bacteria isolated from the chemocline of meromictic Lake Cadagno, Switzerland. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol. 2010 Aug 20; Authors: Peduzzi S, Welsh A, Demarta A, Decristophoris P, Peduzzi R, Hahn D, Tonolla M Two isolates representing the uncultured purple sulfur bacteria populations H and 448 in the chemocline of crenogenic meromictic Lake Cadagno, Switzerland, were obtained using enrichment and isolation conditions that resembled those of their nearest cultured relatives in the genus Thiocystis. Phenotypic, genotypic and phylogenetic analyses of these isolates confirmed their assignment to the genus Thiocystis. However, differences in 16S rRNA gene sequences with similarities of 98.2% between isolates CadH11T and Cad448T, and 97.7% and 98.5%, respectively, to their closest cultured relative Thiocystis gelatinosa DSM 215T as well as in mol% G+C DNA content and in C-resource usage suggested different species. DNA-DNA hybridization showed similarity values of 46.4% and 60.8% of Cad448 and CadH11 to T. gelatinosa DSM 215T, respectively, and of 59.2% between them. Both isolates were therefore proposed and described as novel species within the genus Thiocystis, Thiocystis chemoclinalis sp. nov., and Thiocystis cadagnonensis sp. nov., respectively. The type strains of T. chemoclinalis sp. nov. and T. cadagnonensis sp. nov. are CadH11(T) (JCM 15112 = KCTC 5954) and Cad448(T) (JCM 15111 = KCTC 15001), respectively.

Mannheimia caviae sp. nov., isolated from epidemic conjunctivitis and otitis media in guinea pigs. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol. 2010 Aug 20; Authors: Christensen H, Bojesen AM, Bisgaard M Strains T138021/75T, Pg 19 and Pg 20 (taxon 25 of Bisgaard) all isolated from guinea pigs were characterized. Strains T138021-75 T and Pg20 showed identical 16S rRNA gene sequences and were distantly related with the highest 16S rRNA similarity of 98.6 % to the published strain P224, while the type strain of Mannheimia glucosida and other strains of Mannheimia glucosida demonstrated 97.8% similarity, while the type strain of Mannheimia varigena showed 97.3% 16S rRNA similarity, whereas all other type strains of Mannheimia showed less than 97 % similarity including Mannheimia haemolytica (96.9 %). The phylogenetic analysis of rpoB sequences showed a distant position of strain P224 (89.9 %) compared to the three strains (T138021-75 T , Pg20, Pg19) that had identical sequences. These three strains also shared recN sequences, however, here the phylogenetic analysis showed a close relationship to strain P224. DNA reassociation between T138021-75 T and P224 was 81.6 % and 40.3 % between T138021-75 T and the type strain of M. glucosida. Based on the DNA reassociation data, strain T138021-75 T belongs to a separate species with strain P224 closely related. P224 is phenotypically deviating from strains T138021-75 T , Pg20 and Pg19 in ornithine carboxylase, hydrolysis of glycosides, acid formation from maltose, dextrin, melibiose and raffinose as well as reactions for alpha-galactosidase and beta-xylosidase. Whole genome similarity calculations based on recN showed species level relatedness of T138021/75T with strain P224 (0.932), whereas 16S rRNA and partial rpoB sequence comparisons showed a more divergent position of P224 compared to the new species proposed, including host of isolation. Results show that strains of taxon 25 represents a new species proposed as Mannheimia caviae sp. nov. The type strain, T138021/75 T (CCUG 59995T = DSM 23207 T) was obtained from putride conjunctivitis in guinea pigs. Previous publications have documented both ubiquinones and desmethylmenaquinon to be present in the type strain, and its GC to be 41.4 moles % (Tm). PMID: 20729306 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Int J Syst Evol Microbiol. 2010 Aug 20; Authors: Tang SK, Wang Y, Klenk HP, Shi R, Lou K, Zhang YJ, Chen C, Ruan JS, Li WJ Halophilic actinomycetal strains YIM 90479, YIM 90480T and YIM 90600T were isolated from a salt field in Xinjiang province, north-west of China and subjected to polyphasic taxonomy. All three strains were moderately halophilic, no growth in absence of NaCl, and were able to grow on agar plate at NaCl concentrations of up to 20 or 25 % (w/v). Good growth occurred at 37 degrees C and 15% (w/v) NaCl. All their cell walls were type IV. Phospholipid pattern was type PIII. MK-9 (H4), MK-10 (H4) or MK-9 (H4), MK-9 (H2) as the predominant menaquinones. I-C16:0 and ai-C17:0 or ai-C15:0, ai-C17:0 as the major fatty acids. The G+C contents of the genomic DNA were 66.4 to 68.3 mol%. Based on phenotypic, chemotaxonomic, phylogenetic differentiations and DNA-DNA hybridization tests, two novel species, Actinopolyspora alba sp. nov., and Actinopolyspora erythraea sp. nov., are proposed. The type strain of the species are YIM 90480T (=DSM 45004T=KCTC 19119T) and YIM 90600T (=CCTCC M 208247T=KCTC 19372T). Additionally, we propose that Actinopolyspora iraqiensis AS 4.1193T (Ruan et al., 1994) be transferred to the genus Saccharomonospora as a later heterotypic synonym of Saccharomonospora halophila based on present research results.

Vibrio celticus sp. nov., a new Vibrio species belonging to the Splendidus clade with pathogenic potential for clams.

2010-08-22T23:59:14+01:00

Related Articles Vibrio celticus sp. nov., a new Vibrio species belonging to the Splendidus clade with pathogenic potential for clams. Syst Appl Microbiol. 2010 Aug 17; Authors: Beaz-Hidalgo R, DiÃ©guez AL, Cleenwerck I, Balboa S, Doce A, de Vos P, Romalde JL A group of four motile facultative anaerobic marine isolates (Rd 8.15(T) [=CECT 7224(T), =LMG 23850(T)], Rd 16.13, Rd 6.8 [=LMG 25696] and Rd2L5) were obtained from cultured clams (Ruditapes philippinarum and Venerupis pullastra) in Galicia, north-western Spain. They formed a tight phylogenetic group based on sequences of the 16S rRNA gene and the four housekeeping genes rpoA (encoding the alpha-chain of RNA polymerase), rpoD (encoding the sigma factor of RNA polymerase), recA (encoding RecA protein), and atpA (encoding the alpha-subunit of bacterial ATP synthase). The phylogenies based on these sequences indicated that the four isolates represented a novel species in the genus Vibrio, and more precisely in the Splendidus clade. DNA-DNA hybridizations with the type strains of species showing more than 98.6% 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity, revealed a DNA-DNA relatedness below 70%. The isolates could be differentiated from the phylogenetically related Vibrio species on the basis of several phenotypic features. In addition, strain Rd 8.15(T) showed potential pathogenic activity for adult clams in virulence assays. The name Vibrio celticus sp. nov. is proposed for this new taxon, with the type strain being Rd 8.15(T) (=CECT 7224(T), =LMG 23850(T)). PMID: 20724091 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Harlan, Michelle , Cecilia A., Oâ€™Leary , Erin E., Austin , Carolyn B., MarksMicroorganisms (e.g., prokaryotes, fungi) are food sources for soil nematodes, but they can also be potential mutualists or pathogens. Understanding the linkages between microorganism and invertebrate diversity in soils requires the ability to distinguish between these microbial roles. We tested the potential of a taxon-specific fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) procedure for identifying and localizing microbial rRNA within the bodies of soil nematodes. Our objective was to determine whether the rate of digestion permitted detection and identification of food-source nucleic acids within the nematode digestive system (i.e., pharynges, intestines) before their breakdown.

Periacineta mexicana n. sp. (Ciliophora, Suctoria, Discophryida), Epizoic on Mexican Backswimmers of the Genus Buenoa (Insecta, Hemiptera, Notonectidae). J Eukaryot Microbiol. 2010 Aug 5; Authors: MariÃ±o-PÃ©rez R, MayÃ©n-Estrada R, Dovgal IV A new species of suctorian in the genus Periacineta, epibiotic on aquatic bugs (Hemiptera, Heteroptera, Nepomorpha), is described on the basis of morphological characteristics of the cell body, lorica, tentacular placement, and stalk, and its 18S rRNA partial sequence gene. Periacineta mexicana n. sp. is a loricate suctorian with elongate body and rounded apical region; tentacles are distributed randomly over apical region and not grouped into fascicles. Macronucleus in adult is elongate and located centrally. The suctorian usually forms closely aggregated pseudocolonies. We provide morphological data based on optical and scanning electron microscopy. A comparison with similar congeners, and emended diagnosis of the genus Periacineta also are provided. The ciliates were found attached to the first two pairs of legs of Mexican notonectids Buenoa pallens and Buenoa spp. (backswimmers). PMID: 20707827 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Survival of Theriosuchus (Mesoeucrocodylia: Atoposauridae) in a Late Cretaceous archipelago: a new species from the Maastrichtian of Romania.

Survival of Theriosuchus (Mesoeucrocodylia: Atoposauridae) in a Late Cretaceous archipelago: a new species from the Maastrichtian of Romania. Naturwissenschaften. 2010 Aug 14; Authors: Martin JE, Rabi M, Csiki Z Small terrestrial non-eusuchian mesoeucrocodylians are common components of Cretaceous assemblages of Gondwanan provinces with notosuchians and araripesuchids as flagship taxa in South America, Africa and Madagascar, well into the Late Cretaceous. On the other hand, these are exceedingly rare in Laurasian landmasses during the Late Cretaceous. Small terrestrial mesoeucrocodylians from Europe were often referred to the genus Theriosuchus, a taxon with stratigraphic range extending from the Late Jurassic to the late Early Cretaceous. Theriosuchus is abundantly reported from various European localities, although Asiatic and possibly North American members are also known. It has often been closely associated with the first modern crocodilians, members of the Eusuchia, because of the presence of procoelous vertebrae, a widespread key character diagnosing the Eusuchia. Nevertheless, the relationships of Theriosuchus have not been explored in detail although one species, Theriosuchus pusillus, has been extensively described and referred in numerous works. Here, we describe a new basal mesoeucrocodylian, Theriosuchus sympiestodon sp. nov. from the Maastrichtian of the HaÅ£eg Basin, Romania, suggesting a large temporal gap (about 58 myr) in the fossil record of the genus. Inclusion of the new taxon, along with Theriosuchus guimarotae, in a phylogenetic analysis confirms its referral to the genus Theriosuchus, within a monophyletic atoposaurid clade. Although phylogenetic resolution within this clade is still poor, the new taxon appears, on morphological grounds, to be most closely related to T. pusillus. The relationships of Atoposauridae within Mesoeucrocodylia and especially to Neosuchia are discussed in light of the results of the present contribution as well as from recent work. Our results raise the possibility that Atoposauridae might not be regarded as a derived neosuchian clade anymore, although further investigation of the neosuchian interrelationships is needed. Reports of isolated teeth referable to a closely related taxon from the Upper Cretaceous of Romania and France, together with the presence of Doratodon and Ischyrochampsa, indicate a previously unsuspected diverse assemblage of non-eusuchian mesoeucrocodylians in the Late Cretaceous European archipelago.

Burkholderia bannensis sp. nov., an acidic pH-neutralizing bacterium isolated from torpedo grass (Panicum repens) that grows in highly acidic swamps in Thailand. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol. 2010 Aug 13; Authors: Aizawa T, Vijarnsorn P, Nakajima M, Sunairi M Two strains of acidic pH-neutralizing bacteria, E25(T) and E21, were isolated from torpedo grass (Panicum repens) that grows in highly acidic swamps (pH 2 - 4) in actual acid sulfate soil areas of Thailand. The strains were Gram-negative, aerobic, non-spore-forming, and rod-shaped bacteria, having a cellular width of 0.6 - 0.8 microm and a length of 1.6 - 2.1 microm. These strains showed good growth between pH 4.0 and 8.0 and between 17 and 37 degrees C. The organisms contained ubiquinone Q-8 as the predominant isoprenoid quinone and C(16 : 0), C(17 : 0) cyclo, and C(18 : 1 )omega7c as their major fatty acids. Their fatty acid profiles were similar to those reported for other Burkholderia species. The DNA G+C content of these strains was 65 mol%. On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity, these strains were shown to belong to the genus Burkholderia. Although the calculated 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity values of E25(T) to E21, B. unamae, B. tropica, B. sacchari, B. nodosa, and B. mimosarum were 100 %, 98.7 %, 98.6 %, 97.6 %, 97.4%, and 97.3 %, respectively, E25(T) and E21 formed a group that was distinct in the phylogenetic tree; and the DNA-DNA relatedness values of E25(T) to E21, B. unamae, B. tropica, B. sacchari, B. nodosa, and B. mimosarum were 90 %, 42 %, 42 %, 42 %, 45 %, and 35 %, respectively. The results of physiological and biochemical tests including whole-cell protein pattern analysis allowed phenotypic differentiation of these strains from the previously published Burkholderia species. Therefore, strains E25(T) and E21 represent a new species, for which the name Burkholderia bannensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is E25(T) (= NBRC 103871(T) = BCC 36998(T)).

Phaeospirillum oryzae sp. nov., a spheroplast forming phototrophic alphaproteobacterium from a paddy soil. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol. 2010 Aug 13; Authors: Lakshmi KV, Sasikala C, Takaichi S, Ramana CV Two strains (JA317T, JA559) of spiral shaped, spheroplast forming, anaerobic, gram negative, motile purple non-sulfur bacteria were isolated from rhizosphere soils of paddy and were characterized by a polyphasic taxonomic approach. Bacteriochlorophyll a, and carotenoids, rhodopin and rhodopin glucoside, are present as photosynthetic pigments. Intracellular photosynthetic membranes are of stacked type. The major fatty acids were C18:1omega7c, C16:0, C16:1omega6c/C16:1omega7c in both strains. The genomic G+C content was 63.3 + 0.8 mol%. Both strains were closely related (mean DNA-DNA hybridization >85%). Phylogenetic analysis showed that the strains clustered with the species of the genus Phaeospirillum which belongs to the family Rhodospirillaceae within the class Alphaproteobacteria. Based on 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, strains JA317T and JA559 showed highest sequence similarity with the type strains of Phaeospirillum chandramohanii (98.2%), Phaeospirillum molischianum (97.4%), Phaeospirillum fulvum (97.0 %) of the family Rhodospirillaceae. The strain JA317T can be clearly distinguished with Phaeospirillum chandramohanii with respect to spheroplast formation and several other morphological and physiological properties. DNA-DNA relatedness of the strain JA317T with respect to its closest relative species of the genus Phaeospirillum was less than 55%. It is evident from the phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and molecular genetic evidence that the strain JA317T represents a novel species of the genus Phaeospirillum, for which the name Phaeospirillum oryzae sp. nov., is proposed. The type strain of the species is JA317T (=NBRC 104938T =KCTC 5704T). PMID: 20709914 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Sulfuritalea hydrogenivorans gen. nov., sp. nov., a novel facultative autotroph isolated from a freshwater lake. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol. 2010 Aug 13; Authors: Kojima H, Fukui M A novel facultatively autotrophic bacterium, strain sk43HT was isolated from water of a freshwater lake in Japan. The cells were curved rod-shaped, motile, and Gram-negative. The strain sk43HT was facultatively anaerobic, and autotrophic growth was observed only under anaerobic conditions. As sole energy source for autotrophic growth, the isolate oxidized thiosulfate, elemental sulfur, and hydrogen. The strain sk43HT could utilize nitrate as electron acceptor. Growth was observed at temperature lower than 32 degrees C, and the optimum growth was observed at 25 degrees C. The range of pH for growth was 6.4-7.6, and the optimum pH was 6.7-6.9. The optimum growth of the isolate occurred at concentrations of NaCl less than 50 mM. The G+C content of genomic DNA was around 67 mol%. The fatty acid profile of strain sk43HT grown on acetate under aerobic conditions was characterized by the major components of C16 : 0 and C16 : 1omega7c and/or iso-C15 : 0 2-OH. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene indicated that the strain was member of the class Betaproteobacteria, and it showed highest sequence similarity with Georgfuchsia toluolica G5G6 (94.7%) and Denitratisoma oestradiolicum AcBE2-1T (94.3%). Phylogenetic analyses were also performed on genes involved in sulfur oxidation. On the basis of its phylogenetic and phenotypic properties, the strain sk43HT (= DSM 22779T = NBRC 105852T) is proposed as type strain of a new species of a novel genus, Sulfuritalea hydrogenivorans gen. nov., sp. nov.

Protist. 2010 Aug 12; Authors: Marshall WL, Berbee ML During a culture-based survey of opisthokonts living in marine invertebrate digestive tracts, we isolated two new eukaryotes that differed from described taxa by more than 10% in their small subunit ribosomal DNA sequences. Phylogenetic analysis showed that the two isolates represented a divergent clade of ichthyosporeans known previously only from environmental clone sequences. We used light and electron microscopy to describe the isolates as new genera and speciesPirum gemmataandAbeoforma whisleri. A. whislerihad a complex life cycle that remains incompletely known but involved walled spherical cells, plasmodia and amoebae. Asexual reproduction occurred via dispersal amoebae, endospores, binary fission and budding. In contrastP. gemmatahad a less complex life cycle with no amoeboid or plasmodial stages. Both species had membrane-bound tubular extensions of the cytoplasm embedded in the inner layers of their cell walls. By comparingP. gemmataandA. whislerito other ichthyosporea we speculate on the characters that may have been present in the ancestral ichthyosporean.P. gemmataandA. whisleriillustrate the unique and diverse forms that can be found by capturing taxa belonging to divergent and uncultured lineages.

Phylogenetic analysis of the genera Proteus, Morganella and Providencia by comparison of rpoB sequences of type and clinical strains suggests the classification of Proteus myxofaciens in a new genus Cosenzaea gen. nov., as Cosenzaea myxofaciens comb. nov. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol. 2010 Aug 13; Authors: Giammanco GM, Grimont PA, Grimont F, Lefevre M, Giammanco G, Pignato S Phylogenetic analysis of partial rpoB gene sequences of type and clinical strains belonging to different 16S rRNA gene-fingerprinting ribogroups within 11 species of enterobacteria of the genera Proteus, Morganella, and Providencia allowed to define rpoB clades supported by high bootstrap values and confirmed by >/=2.5% nucleotide divergence. No rpoB clade included strains belonging to different species and the majority of the species were confirmed as discrete and homogeneous, since they constituted a single rpoB clade. However, distinct rpoB clades could be defined among the strains belonging to the species Proteus vulgaris (two rpoB clades), Providencia alcalifaciens (two rpoB clades), and Providencia rettgeri (three rpoB clades), suggesting the possibility to introduce new species according to the genotypes outlined by rpoB sequence analysis. Percent nucleotide differences in the rpoB sequence of Proteus myxofaciens type strain with respect to the other members of its own genus (17.3-18.9%) were similar to those calculated against Providencia strains (16.4-18.7%), suggesting that a genus-level genetic distance exists between Proteus myxofaciens and the rest of the Proteus-Providencia group. Classification of Proteus myxofaciens in a new genus, Cosenzaea gen. nov., is therefore proposed. The type strain of Cosenzaea myxofaciens comb. nov. is ATCC 19692T (= BCRC 12222 T = CCRC 12222 T = CCUG 18769 T = CIP 106872 T = DSM 4482 T = JCM 1670 T = LMG 7876 T =NCIMB 13273 T).

Kosmotoga arenicorallina sp. nov. a thermophilic and obligately anaerobic heterotroph isolated from a shallow hydrothermal system occurring within a coral reef, southern part of the Yaeyama Archipelago, Japan, reclassification of Thermococcoides shenglien

2010-08-16T10:16:30+01:00

Abstract A novel thermophilic and sulfur-reducing bacterium, strain S304T, was isolated from the Taketomi submarine hot spring shallow hydrothermal field located at southern part of the Yaeyama Archipelago, Japan. The cells were non-motile short thick rods or oval cocci 1.1â€“2.7 Î¼m in length and 1.1â€“1.9 Î¼m in width. Strain S304T was an obligately anaerobic heterotroph and sulfur reduction stimulates growth. Growth was observed between 50â€“65Â°C (optimum 60Â°C), pH 6.2â€“8.0 (optimum pH 7.1), 1.0â€“6.0% NaCl concentration (optimum 3.0%). The fatty acid composition was C16:0 (71.4%), C18:0 (20.9%) and C18:1 (7.7%). The G + C content of genomic DNA was 40.8 mol%. The 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis indicated that strain S304T belonged to the genus Kosmotoga. Based on physiological and phylogenetic features of a new isolate, we propose new species in the genus Kosmotoga: the type strain of Kosmotoga arenicorallina sp. nov is S304T (=JCM 15790T = DSM22549T). Thermococcoides shengliensis 2SM-2T is phylogenetically associated with Kosmotoga olearia 14.5.1T. Based on the phylogenetic relationship between Thermococcoides shengliensis 2SM-2T and Kosmotoga olearia 14.5.1T, we propose the reclassification of Thermococcoides shengliensis as Kosmotoga shengliensis comb. nov. (type strain 2SM-2T). In addition, an emended description of the genus Kosmotoga is proposed.

Synhimantus sirry Khalil, 1931 (type-species) and P. pelecani (Johnston & Mawson, 1942) n. comb., syn. Dispharynx pelecani Johnston & Mawson, 1942. In the structure of its cordons, consisting of two rows of delicate cuticular plates, the new genus is similar to Synhimantus Railliet, Henry & Sisoff, 1912, Dispharynx Railliet, Henry & Sisoff, 1912, Chordatortilis Machado de MendonÃƒÂ§a & Olivera de Rodrigues, 1965 and Parachordatortilis Mutafchiev, Santoro & Georgiev, 2010. Pelecanema sirry, a parasite of Pelecanus onocrotalus L. and P. crispus Bruch (Pelecaniformes, Pelecanidae) in Africa (Egypt and Senegal) and Europe (Ukraine and Bulgaria), is redescribed using light and scanning electron microscopy on the basis of specimens from P. crispus from Bulgaria. Pelecanema pelecani, a parasite of Pelecanus conspicillatus Temminck in Australia, is also redescribed using light microscopy on the basis of specimens from its type-host and type-locality. In contrast to a previous opinion recognising Pelecanema sirry and P. pelecani as synonyms, the two species are considered distinct and P. pelecani is validated. PMID: 20700697 [PubMed - in process]

Related Articles Rhabdias lacertae n. sp. (Nematoda: Rhabdiasidae), the first rhabdiasid species parasitising lizards in Europe. Syst Parasitol. 2010 Sep;77(1):23-7 Authors: Moravec F A new nematode species, Rhabdias lacertae n. sp. (Rhabdiasidae), is described from the body-cavity of the common lizard Lacerta vivipara Jacquin (Lacertidae) from the Ridge of MalÃƒÂ¡ Fatra (Sokolie Hill), north-western Slovakia. The new species differs from its congeners mainly in possessing 3 min cuticular spikes at the tail tip and some other features. This is the first species of Rhabdias Stiles & Hassall, 1905 described from lizards in Europe and the first species of this genus parasitising hosts belonging to the Lacertidae.

Genetic diversity and community of endophytic actinomycetes within the roots of Aquilaria crassna Pierre ex Lec assessed by Actinomycetes-specific PCR and PCR-DGGE of 16S rRNA gene

2010-08-12T03:18:35+01:00

Publication year: 2010Source: Biochemical Systematics and Ecology, In Press, Corrected Proof, Available online 9 August 2010Pongrawee, Nimnoi , Neelawan, Pongsilp , Saisamorn, LumyongPCR-denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) was used to determine diversity and community of endophytic actinomycetes distributed within the roots of Aquilaria crassna Pierre ex Lec (eaglewood). DNA was extracted from plant roots collected from one plantation in Nakhonnayok province and three plantations in Phetchabun province of Thailand. A nested-PCR was used to specifically amplify all actinobacterial groups. PCR-DGGE analysis of a variable region 3 (V3) of 16S rDNA confirmed the presence of endophytic actinomycetes in genera Nocardia, Pseudonocardia, Streptomyces and Actinomadura within the roots of eaglewood from Phetchabun province. Actinomycetes in genera Nocardia, Nonomuraea, Pseudonocardia and Actinomadura were found to...Graphical abstract Research highlights: ► Different locations resulted in different endophytic actinomycetes communities. ► Endophytic actinomycetes colonized and imbedded within roots of eaglewood plant. ► Roots represent a good habitat for endophytic actinomycetes. ► Actinomycetes have more than one copy numbers of the 16S rRNA gene.
