Nocardiopsis terrae sp. nov., a halophilic actinomycete isolated from saline soil. Antonie Van Leeuwenhoek. 2010 Mar 17; Authors: Chen YG, Zhang YQ, Tang SK, Liu ZX, Xu LH, Zhang LX, Li WJ A Gram-positive, moderately halophilic, facultatively alkaliphilic, catalase- and oxidase-positive, obligately aerobic, filamentous actinomycete strain, designated YIM 90022(T), was isolated from saline soil collected from the Qaidam Basin, north-west China. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that the new isolate was a member of the genus Nocardiopsis and the sequence similarities between the isolate and the type strains of members of the genus Nocardiopsis were in the range of 95.1-98.7%. Phenotypic and chemotaxonomic properties of this organism also indicated that strain YIM 90022(T) was a member of the genus Nocardiopsis. The strain grew well on most of the media tested, producing yellow-white to deep brown substrate mycelium and white aerial mycelium. Light gray to deep brown diffusible pigments were produced. The substrate mycelium was well developed and fragmented with age; the aerial mycelium produced long, straight to flexuous spore chains with non-motile, smooth-surfaced, rod-shaped spores on them. The strain grew in the presence of 1-15% (w/v) total salts (optimum, 3-5%) and at pH 6.0-10.5 (optimum, pH 8.5) and 10-45 degrees C (optimum, 30 degrees C). Whole-cell hydrolysates of strain YIM 90022(T) contained meso-diaminopimelic acid and no diagnostic sugars. The predominant menaquinones were MK-10(H(4)), MK-9(H(8)), MK-10(H(6)) and MK-10(H(8)). Polar lipids comprised diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylmethylethanolamine. The major cellular fatty acids were iso-C(16:0), anteiso-C(17:0), 10-methyl-C(18:0) and 10-methyl-C(17:0). The DNA G + C content of strain YIM 90022(T) was 71.5 mol%. The combination of phylogenetic analysis, DNA-DNA relatedness data, phenotypic characteristics and chemotaxonomic data supported the suggestion that strain YIM 90022(T) represents a new species of the genus Nocardiopsis, for which the name Nocardiopsis terrae sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is YIM 90022(T) (=CCTCC AA 208011(T) =KCTC 19431(T)). PMID: 20232249 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Int J Syst Evol Microbiol. 2010 Mar 12; Authors: Lai Q, Wang L, Liu Y, Yuan J, Sun F, Shao Z A taxonomic study was carried out on strain P31T, which was isolated from a PAH-degrading consortium enriched from the deep seawater from the Indian Ocean. The isolate was Gram-negative, rod-shaped, motile by means of a polar flagellum, and incapable of reducing nitrate to nitrite. Growth was observed at salinities from 0.5 to 8 % and at temperatures from 10 to 41 inverted exclamation markãC, unable to degrade Tween 80 and gelatin. The major respiratory quinone was ubiquinone 11 (Q11). The dominant fatty acids were C18:1omega7c (39.79 %), C18:1omega7c 11-methyl (17.84 %), C19: 0omega8c cyclo (12.05 %) and C18:0 (6.09 %). The G+C content of the chromosomal DNA was 62.1 mol%. Phylogenetic tree based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain P31T and Parvibaculum lavamentivorans DS-1T formed a distinct lineage in the family Phyllobacteriaceae, with highest sequence similarity of 95.7 %, while the others were below 93 %. The combined genotypic and phenotypic data showed that strain P31T represents a novel species of the genus Parvibaculum, for which the name Parvibaculum indicum sp. nov. is proposed, with the type strain P31T (=CCTCC AB 208230T =LMG 24712T=MCCC 1A01132T).

Related Articles Virgibacillus soli sp. nov., isolated from mountain soil. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol. 2010 Mar 12; Authors: Kämpfer P, Arun AB, Busse HJ, Langer S, Young CC, Chen WM, Syed AA, Rekha PD A Gram-positive organism (CC-YMP-6T) was isolated from the soil samples collected from Yang-Ming Mountain, Taiwan. On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity studies, this isolate CC-YMP-6T belonged clearly to the genus Virgibacillus and was most closely related to Virgibacillus halophilus (96.2 %), and Virgibacillus kekensis (96.2 %). The predominant isoprenoid quinone was menaquinone MK-7 and the polar lipid profile was composed of the major lipids diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, one unidentified phospholipid and moderate amounts of two unidentified aminophospholipids and a phospholipid. The polyamine pattern exhibited only the major component spermidine whereas spermine and putrescine were detected only in minor amounts. The major fatty acids of strain CC-YMP-6T were iso-C15:0 and anteiso-C15:0 . The results of physiological and biochemical tests allowed a clear phenotypic differentiation of strain CC-YMP-6T from all other related Virgibacillus species. Strain CC-YMP-6T represents a new species, for which the name Virgibacillus soli sp. nov. is proposed, with the type strain CC-YMP-6T (= DSM 22952T = CCM 7714T).

Int J Syst Evol Microbiol. 2010 Mar 12; Authors: Yun JH, Roh SW, Jung MJ, Kim MS, Park EJ, Shin KS, Nam YD, Bae JW Strain 104T was isolated from a traditional salt-fermented seafood in Korea. It was a Gram-positive, non-motile, coccus-shaped bacterium. It formed lemon-yellow, opaque colonies that were circular with entire margins. Optimal growth occurred at 30-37 degrees C, pH 7-8 and in the presence of 0-2 % (w/v) NaCl. Phylogenetic analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequences from strain 104T and reference species of the genus Kocuria indicated that strain 104T formed an independent line surrounded by the other members of the genus. The G+C content of chromosomal DNA was 60.6 mol%. MK-7 was the major menaquinone and the predominant fatty acids were anteiso-C15:0 (76.7 %), anteiso-C17:0 (10.9 %) and iso-C16:0 (4.5 %). Type strain Kocuria rhizophila TA68T was mostly related to strain 104T and shared 98.9 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity with the new isolate. The DNA-DNA hybridization value between strain 104T and K. rhizophila TA68T was 14.1 +/- 3.4 %. On the basis of this polyphasic taxonomic analysis, strain 104T appears to represent a novel species in the genus Kocuria. The name Kocuria salsicia sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is 104T (= KACC 21128T = JCM 16361T). PMID: 20228215 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Int J Syst Evol Microbiol. 2010 Mar 12; Authors: Vésteinsdóttir H, Reynisdóttir DB, Orlygsson J A novel, chemolithotrophic bacterium, strain 16CT, was isolated from a hot spring in Graendalur, SW-Iceland. Cells of this organism were Gram-negative, rod-shaped and motile. The strain was aerobic, capable of chemolithotrophic growth on hydrogen and carbon dioxide, heterotrophic growth on butyrate and several other organic compounds and mixotrophic growth on butyrate, hydrogen and carbon dioxide. Heterotrophic growth was most often enhanced in the presence of yeast extract. Autotrophic growth on hydrogen was observed at pH values between 6.0 and 10.0 and temperatures between 35 and 60 degrees C, optimum growth conditions were at pH 7.0 and at 55 degrees C. The G+C content of the DNA is 63.9 mol%. As determined by 16S rRNA analysis strain 16CT is a distinct species that belongs to the Betaproteobacteria and is most closely related to Hydrogenophilus thermoluteolus (NRBC 14978T) and Hydrogenophilus hirschii (DSM 11420T). The major cellular fatty acids were straight chain C16:0 (44.98%) and C18:1 omega7c (17.93%) as well as the cyclic C17:0 (13.90%) and C19:0 omega8c (4.67%) fatty acids. On the basis of physiological and molecular properties of the new isolate, it is concluded that strain 16CT represents new separate species within the genus Hydrogenophilus, for which the name Hydrogenophilus islandicus is proposed. The type strain is 16CT (=DSM 21442T=JCM 16106T). PMID: 20228213 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Int J Syst Evol Microbiol. 2010 Mar 12; Authors: Gomez-Gil B, Roque A, Rotllant G, Peinado L, Romalde JL, Doce A, Cabanillas-Beltrán H, Chimetto L, Thompson FL Six strains were isolated from oysters (Crassostreae gigas) and from the haemolymph of the spider crab (Maja brachydactyla) from Mexico and Spain, respectively. All isolates grew as small green colonies in TCBS agar, were Gram negative cocco-bacilli, had a facultative metabolism, were oxidase positive, and sensitive to the vibriostatic agent 0/129. Rep-PCR analysis of the isolates permitted to observe a high degree of genomic homogeneity among the seven strains analyzed. Several phenotypic traits differentiate these strains from other closely related species. DNA hybridization values between two representative strains and the type strains of the closest phylogenetic species, by 16S rRNA sequence similarities, CAIM 20T (Photobacterium frigidiphilum) and CAIM 14T (P. aplysiae) were between 53.85 and 44.01 %. These results permitted us to propose a new Photobacterium species, named P. swingsii with CAIM 1393T (= CECT 7576T) as the type strain. PMID: 20228205 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Related Articles Pseudomonas cannabina pv. cannabina pv. nov., and Pseudomonas cannabina pv. alisalensis (Cintas Koike and Bull, 2000) comb. nov., are members of the emended species Pseudomonas cannabina (ex Sutic & Dowson 1959) Gardan, Shafik, Belouin, Brosch, Grimont & Grimont 1999. Syst Appl Microbiol. 2010 Mar 11; Authors: Bull CT, Manceau C, Lydon J, Kong H, Vinatzer BA, Fischer-Le Saux M Sequence similarity in the 16S rDNA gene confirmed that crucifer pathogen Pseudomonas syringae pv. alisalensis belongs to P. syringae sensu lato. In reciprocal DNA/DNA hybridization experiments, DNA relatedness was high (69-100%) between P. syringae pv. alisalensis strains and the type strain of P. cannabina (genomospecies 9). In contrast, DNA relatedness was low (below 48%) between P. syringae pv. alisalensis and reference strains from the remaining genomospecies of P. syringae including the type strain of P. syringae and reference strain of genomospecies 3 (P. syringae pv. tomato) although the well-known crucifer pathogen, P. syringae pv. maculicola, also belongs to genomospecies 3. Additional evidence that P. syringae pv. alisalensis belongs to P. cannabina was sequence similarity in five gene fragments used in multilocus sequence typing, as well as similar rep-PCR patterns when using the BOX-A1R primers. The description of P. cannabina has been emended to include P. syringae pv. alisalensis. Host range testing demonstrated that P. syringae pv. alisalensis strains, originally isolated from broccoli, broccoli raab or arugula, were not pathogenic on Cannabis sativa (family Cannabinaceae). Additionally, P. cannabina strains, originally isolated from the C. sativa were not pathogenic on broccoli raab or oat while P. syringae pv. alisalensis strains were pathogenic on these hosts. Distinct host ranges for these two groups indicate that P. cannabina emend. consists of at least two distinct pathovars, P. cannabina pv. cannabina pv. nov., and P. cannabina pv. alisalensis comb. nov. Pseudomonas syringae pv. maculicola strain CFBP 1637 is a member of P. cannabina. PMID: 20227217 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

J Microbiol. 2010 Feb;48(1):36-9 Authors: Anandham R, Weon HY, Kim SJ, Kim YS, Kim BY, Kwon SW A bacterial strain 5YN5-8(T) was isolated from peat layer on Yongneup in Korea. Cells of strain 5YN5-8(T) were strictly aerobic, Gram-negative, coccobacilli, non-spore forming, and non-motile. The isolate exhibited optimal growth at 28 degrees C, pH 7.0, and 0-1% NaCl. Results of 16S rRNA gene sequence analyses indicated a close relationship of this isolate to Acinetobacter calcoaceticus (97.8% similarity for strain DSM 30006(T)). It also exhibited 94.4-97.8% 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities to the validly published Acinetobacter species. The value for DNA-DNA hybridization between strain 5YN5-8(T) and other members of the genus Acinetobacter ranged from 16 to 28%. Predominant cellular fatty acids were C(18:1) omega9c, summed feature 4 containing C(15:0) iso 2-OH and/or C(16:1) omega7c, and C(16:0). The DNA G+C content was 43.9 mol%. Phylogenetic, phenotypic, and chemotaxonomic data accumulated in this study revealed that the isolate could be classified in a novel species of the genus Acinetobacter. The name Acinetobacter brisouii sp. nov. is proposed for the novel species, with 5YN5-8(T) (=KACC 11602(T) = DSM 18516(T)) as the type strain. PMID: 20221727 [PubMed - in process]

Related Articles Tentaculate fossils from the cambrian of Canada (british columbia) and china (yunnan) interpreted as primitive deuterostomes. PLoS One. 2010;5(3):e9586 Authors: Caron JB, Conway Morris S, Shu D Molecular and morphological evidence unite the hemichordates and echinoderms as the Ambulacraria, but their earliest history remains almost entirely conjectural. This is on account of the morphological disparity of the ambulacrarians and a paucity of obvious stem-groups. We describe here a new taxon Herpetogaster collinsi gen. et sp. nov. from the Burgess Shale (Middle Cambrian) Lagerstätte. This soft-bodied vermiform animal has a pair of elongate dendritic oral tentacles, a flexible stolon with an attachment disc, and a re-curved trunk with at least 13 segments that is directed dextrally. A differentiated but un-looped gut is enclosed in a sac suspended by mesenteries. It consists of a short pharynx, a conspicuous lenticular stomach, followed by a narrow intestine sub-equal in length. This new taxon, together with the Lower Cambrian Phlogites and more intriguingly the hitherto enigmatic discoidal eldoniids (Cambrian-Devonian), form a distinctive clade (herein the cambroernids). Although one hypothesis of their relationships would look to the lophotrochozoans (specifically the entoprocts), we suggest that the evidence is more consistent with their being primitive deuterostomes, with specific comparisons being made to the pterobranch hemichordates and pre-radial echinoderms. On this basis some of the earliest ambulacrarians are interpreted as soft-bodied animals with a muscular stalk, and possessing prominent tentacles. PMID: 20221405 [PubMed - in process]

Related Articles Stenotrophomonas panacihumi sp. nov., isolated from soil of a ginseng field. J Microbiol. 2010 Feb;48(1):30-5 Authors: Yi H, Srinivasan S, Kim MK The study isolated a Gram-negative, rod-shaped, non-motile bacterium from the soil of a ginseng field in Daejeon, South Korea and characterized it to determine its taxonomic position. Phylogenetic analysis, based on the 16S rRNA gene sequence, revealed that strain MK06(T) belongs to the family Xanthomonadacea, and showed the highest degree of sequence similarity to Stenotrophomonas rhizophila e-p10(T) (98.6%), Xanthomonas campestris LMG 568T (98.0%), Stenotrophomonas maltophilia ATCC 1d3637(T) (97.3%), and Stenotrophomonas humi R-32729(T) (96.9%). Chemotaxonomic data revealed that strain MK06(T) possesses ubiquinone Q-8 as the predominant respiratory lipoquinone, which is common in the genus Stenotrophomonas, and that the predominant fatty acids were 15:0 iso (41.1%), 15:0 anteiso (12.6%), and 17:1 iso omega9c (8.6%). The results of physiological and biochemical tests clearly demonstrated that strain MK06(T) represents a distinct species and supported its affiliation with the genus Stenotrophomonas. Based on these data, MK06(T) (KCTC, 22893(T); JCM, 16536(T); KEMB, 9004-002(T)) should be classified as the type strain for a novel species, for which we propose the name Stenotrophomonas panacihumi sp. nov.

Colonists and desperadoes: different fighting strategies in wing-dimorphic male Texas field crickets

2010-03-11T01:24:38+00:00

Publication year: 2010Source: Animal Behaviour, In Press, Corrected Proof, Available online 9 March 2010Patrick A., Guerra , Gerald S., PollackIn many species, males fight one another for mates or resources. Fighting can vary among males, however, such that some males are highly aggressive whereas others are not. We observed that fighting was negatively associated with flight capability in the wing-dimorphic field cricket, Gryllus texensis. Long-winged males capable of flight had a significantly lower fighting propensity and displayed lower levels of aggression than short-winged, flight-incapable males in staged contests. Long-winged males no longer able to fly as a result of the histolysis of their flight muscles were more aggressive than long-winged males that had functional flight muscles, but were still...

Predation upon Hatchling Dinosaurs by a New Snake from the Late Cretaceous of India.

2010-03-10T01:12:32+00:00

Related Articles Predation upon Hatchling Dinosaurs by a New Snake from the Late Cretaceous of India. PLoS Biol. 2010;8(3):e1000322 Authors: Wilson JA, Mohabey DM, Peters SE, Head JJ Derived large-mouthed snakes (macrostomatans) possess numerous specializations in their skull and lower jaws that allow them to consume large vertebrate prey. In contrast, basal snakes lack these adaptations and feed primarily on small prey items. The sequence of osteological and behavioral modifications involved in the evolution of the macrostomatan condition has remained an open question because of disagreement about the origin and interrelationships of snakes, the paucity of well-preserved early snake fossils on many continental landmasses, and the lack of information about the feeding ecology of early snakes. We report on a partial skeleton of a new 3.5-m-long snake, Sanajeh indicus gen. et sp. nov., recovered from Upper Cretaceous rocks of western India. S. indicus was fossilized in association with a sauropod dinosaur egg clutch, coiled around an egg and adjacent to the remains of a ca. 0.5-m-long hatchling. Multiple snake-egg associations at the site strongly suggest that S. indicus frequented nesting grounds and preyed on hatchling sauropods. We interpret this pattern as "ethofossil" preservation of feeding behavior. S. indicus lacks specializations of modern egg-eaters and of macrostomatans, and skull and vertebral synapomorphies place it in an intermediate position in snake phylogeny. Sanajeh and its large-bodied madtsoiid sister taxa Yurlunggur camfieldensis and Wonambi naracoortensis from the Neogene of Australia show specializations for intraoral prey transport but lack the adaptations for wide gape that characterize living macrostomatan snakes. The Dholi Dungri fossils are the second definitive association between sauropod eggs and embryonic or hatchling remains. New fossils from western India provide direct evidence of feeding ecology in a Mesozoic snake and demonstrate predation risks for hatchling sauropod dinosaurs. Our results suggest that large body size and jaw mobility afforded some non-macrostomatan snakes a greater diversity of prey items than previously suspected on the basis of extant basal snakes.

J Microbiol Biotechnol. 2010 Feb;20(2):410-414 Authors: Luo X, Wang Z, Dai J, Zhang L, Fang C A bacterial strain, 13-25T with xylanolytic activity isolated from a single present soil sample, was characterized with respect to its phenetic and phylogenetic characteristics. The cells of the isolate are gram staining variable rods. The predominant fatty acids are anteiso-C15 : 0, iso-C15 : 0 and iso-C16 : 0, the major respiratory quinone is menaquinone (MK-7), with a polar lipid profile with unknown aminophospholipids. The G+C content is 54.3 mol%. The 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis indicates that this organism belongs to the genus Cohnella, with Cohnella panacarvi as the closest phylogenetic neighbor. Low levels of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity (<97.0%) with respect to other taxa with published names and the identification of distinctive phenetic features in the isolate indicate that the strain 13-25T represents a novel species of the genus Cohnella, for which the name Cohnella damensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is 13-25T (=CCTCC AB 208103T =KCTC 13422T). PMID: 20208449 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Int J Syst Evol Microbiol. 2010 Mar 5; Authors: Namwong S, Tanasupawat S, Kudo T, Itoh T Two lipid-hydrolytic, red-pigmented, strictly aerobic, rod-shaped and extremely halophilic archaea, designated HST01-2RT and HST03T, were isolated from salt in fish sauce fermentation, Thailand. They grew optimally at 37 degrees C, pH 7.0, and in the presence of 20-25%, w/v NaCl. The DNA G+C contents of the isolates were 61.6-62.2 mol%. Phylogenetic analysis based on the comparison of 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strains HST01-2RT and HST03T were closely consorted with Haloarcula amylolyticus JCM 13557T, Haloarcula hispanica JCM 8911T and Haloarcula argentinensis JCM 9737T (97.5-99.5% similarities), and the chemotaxonomic attributes of these strains corresponded with those of the genus Haloarcula i.e., MK-8 as a major menaquinone component, and C20C20 and C20C25 derivatives of phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol methylphosphate and a triglycosyl diether as major polar lipids. Nevertheless, several phenotypic features, and low DNA-DNA relatedness between the two strains and related Haloarcula species (9.3-15.2 %) warrant that the respective strains discriminated from each other and the recognized Haloarcula species. Therefore, strains HST01-2RT and HST03T should be classified in two novel species of the genus Haloarcula, for which the name Haloarcula salarius nov. sp. and Haloarcula tradensis nov. sp., respectively, are proposed. The type strains are HST01-2RT (=BCC 40029T =JCM 15759T =PCU 313T) and HST03T (=BCC 40030T=JCM 15760T=PCU 314T). PMID: 20207809 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Int J Syst Evol Microbiol. 2010 Mar 5; Authors: Figueras MJ, Alperi A, Beaz-Hidalgo R, Stackebrandt E, Brambilla E, Monera A, Martínez-Murcia AJ Two freshwater isolates (WB4.1-19(T) and WB4.4-101), sharing 99.9% 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity among each other, were highly related to members of Aeromonas sobria (99.7% similarity; 6 bp differences). A phylogenetic tree derived from the Multi-Locus-Phylogenetic-Analysis (MLPA) of concatenated sequences of 5 housekeeping genes (gyrB, rpoD, recA, dnaJ and gyrA; 3684 bp) clustered both strains as an independent phylogenetic line next to members of the species A. molluscorum and A. bivalvium. The DNA-DNA reassociation values obtained for these two isolates was 89.3%, and between strain WB4.1-19(T) and the type strains of the other species tested <70%. The phenotypic characterization differentiated these two strains from all other Aeromonas type strains. These data indicated that both strains belong to a novel Aeromonas species, for which the name Aeromonas rivuli sp. nov. is proposed, with the type strain WB4.1-19(T) (=CECT 7518(T)=DSM 22539(T)).

The cells were short rod, Gram-negative, non-sporulating and non-motile. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain BF-3T formed a monophyletic branch at the periphery of the evolutionary radiation occupied by the genus Comamonas; it showed highest sequence similarities to Comamonas aquatica LMG 2370T (96.8 %), Comamonas nitrativorans DSM 13191T (96.4 %), Comamonas odontotermitis LMG 23579T (96.4 %), Comamonas kerstersii LMG 3475T (96.3 %), Comamonas koreensis KCTC 12005T (96.1 %) and Comamonas terrigena LMG 1253T (96.0 %).

Strain MK-7(T) was isolated from coquina, a food supplement for female ducks used in a duck fattening farm, on marine broth agar. Strain MPA-33(T) was isolated from the air of a turkey house on TSA medium after filter sampling. On the basis the 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity studies, both strains were shown to belong to the genus Jeotgalicoccus, MK-7(T) is most closely related to Jeotgalicoccus psychrophilus (99.3 %) and MPA-33(T) is most closely related to Jeotgalicoccus halotolerans (98.8 %). The quinone system of MK-7(T) was composed of equal amounts of menaquinone MK-7 and MK-6 and that of MPA-33(T) contained MK-7 (76 %) and MK-6 (24 %). The polar lipid profile of strain MK-7(T) consisted of the major compounds diphosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylglycerol and seven unidentified lipids present in minor to moderate amounts. In strains MPA-33(T) diphosphatidylglycerol was the single predominant lipid whereas phosphatidylglycerol was detected in moderate amounts. In addition, one unidentified phospholipid and four unidentified lipids were detected. The fatty acid profiles comprising iso 15:0 and anteiso 15:0 as major fatty acids supported the affiliation of strain to the genus Jeotgalicoccus. The results of physiological and biochemical tests as well as DNA-DNA hybridizations allowed a clear phenotypic differentiation of strains MK-7(T) and MPA-33(T) from the most closely related species. Strains MK-7(T) and MPA-33(T) represent new species, for which the names Jeotgalicoccus coquinae sp. nov. and Jeotgalicoccus aerolatus sp nov., respectively are proposed, with the type strain MK-7(T) (= DSM 22419(T) = CCM 7682(T)) and MPA-33(T) (= DSM 22420(T) = CCM 7679(T)).

Int J Syst Evol Microbiol. 2010 Mar 5; Authors: Otsuka Y, Muramatsu Y, Nakagawa Y, Matsuda M, Nakamura M, Murata H The bacterial strain OX-01(T), isolated from acidic soil as an agent that catabolizes (+)-catechin into taxifolin, was taxonomically investigated. The strain OX-01(T) is a Gram-negative, aerobic, non-sporulating, non-motile and rod-shaped bacterium. Phylogenetic position based on the sequence of the 16S rRNA gene assigns this strain as a member of the genus Burkholderia, the position closest to, but clearly distinct from, B. sacchari. The strain OX-01(T) does not have any nif genes required for N(2)-fixation in the genome, a feature that is reminiscent of the luck of nifH in B. sacchari but is distinct from N(2)-fixing features in many other phylogenetically related taxa, such as B. ferrariae, B. heleia, B. mimosarum, B. nodosa, B. silvatlantica, B. tropica and B. unamae. It has the following chemotaxonomic characteristics. The major ubiquinone is Q-8, the DNA G+C content is 64 mol%, and the major fatty acids are C(16:0), C(17:0) cyclo, and C(18:0)omega7c. It also has a unique profile in utilizing carbohydrates among species of Burkholderia. This strain cannot assimilate many pentoses, hexoses and oligosaccharides, whereas it can catabolize (+)-catechin and its putative aromatic derivatives, such as 4-hydroxy-3-methoxycinnamic acid, protocatechuic acid, p-hydroxy benzoic acid, trans-p-coumaric acid and vanillic acid.

Int J Syst Evol Microbiol. 2010 Mar 5; Authors: Lee DW, Lee SD A novel actinomycete, designated strain Sco-B14T, was isolated from volcanic ash which was collected near Darangshi Oreum (a parasitic volcano) in Jeju, Republic of Korea. The organism formed well-developed, branched substrate mycelia, on which short chains of non-motile spores arranged singly or in cluster. Aerial mycelium was not produced. Globose bodies were observed. The reverse colour of colonies was light brown to brown. Diffusible pigments were produced on ISP medium 3 and oatmeal-nitrate agar. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain Sco-B14T formed a lineage within the family Micromonosporaceae and distinct from all of the established genera. The 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity values of strain Sco-B14T to related genera of the family were with Catellatospora (95.0-95.7% sequence similarity), Hamadaea tsunoensis (94.8%), Longispora albida (94.7%) and Catelliglobosispora koreensis (94.1%). 3-OH-DAP was the diagnostic diamino acid in the cell-wall peptidoglycan. Whole-cell sugars were glucose, rhamnose, ribose, xylose, arabinose, galactose and mannose. The polar lipids include diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidylinositol. The menaquinone profiles contained MK-10(H4) (49%), MK-9(H4) (24%), MK-10(H6) (18%) and MK-9(H6) (9%). The predominant fatty acids were i-C15:0 and C17:0. The DNA G+C content was 70.1 mol%. The combination of chemotaxonomic and phylogenetic data clearly separated the isolate from the type strains of all of the genera in the family Micromonosporaceae. On the basis of phylogenetic and chemotaxonomic data presented in this paper, strain Sco-B14T (= KCTC 19661T = DSM 45362T) is considered to represent a novel species of a new genus in the family Micromonosporaceae, for which the name Allocatelliglobosispora scoriae gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed.

Int J Syst Evol Microbiol. 2010 Mar 5; Authors: Kämpfer P, Young CC, Busse HJ, Lin SY, Rekha PD, Arun AB, Chen WM, Shen FT, Wu YH A yellow pigmented, Gram-negative, rod-shaped, non-spore-forming bacterium (strain CC-TPE-1T), was isolated from oil-contaminated soil near the oil refinery located in Kaohsiung County, Taiwan. The 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis of strain CC-TPE-1T showed highest sequence similarity to Novosphingobium naphthalenivorans DSM 18518T (98.1%), Novosphingobium panipatense SM16T (97.9%), and Novosphingobium mathurense SM117T (97.6%) and lower (< 97%) sequence similarity to all other Novosphingobium species. DNA-DNA hybridizations of strain CC-TPE-1T and N. naphthalenivorans DSM 18518T, N. panipatense SM16T and N. mathurense SM117T showed low similarity values of 30% (reciprocal: 35%), 29.1% (reciprocal 30.6%), and 35% (reciprocal 23.6%), respectively. The major respiratory quinone was ubiquinone Q-10, the pre-dominant fatty acid C18:1 omega7c (49.9%), and three 2-hydroxy fatty acids, C14:0 2-OH (8.2%), C15:0 2-OH (2.45%), and C16:0 2-OH (1.05%) was detected. Polar lipids consisted mainly of phospatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidyldimethylethanolamine, two sphingoglycolipids, phosphatidylmonomethylethanolamine and several unidentified lipids and also a yellow pigment was detected. The polyamine pattern contained the single major compound spermidine. Characterization by 16S rRNA gene sequence, physiological parameters, pigment analysis, polyamine, ubiquinone, polar lipid, and fatty acid composition revealed that strain CC-TPE-1T represents a new species of the genus Novosphingobium. For this reason we propose the Novosphingobium soli sp. nov. with the type strain CC-TPE-1T (= DSM 22821T = CCM 7706T). PMID: 20207802 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Ecologically distinct dinosaurian sister group shows early diversification of Ornithodira.

Ecologically distinct dinosaurian sister group shows early diversification of Ornithodira. Nature. 2010 Mar 4;464(7285):95-8 Authors: Nesbitt SJ, Sidor CA, Irmis RB, Angielczyk KD, Smith RM, Tsuji LA The early evolutionary history of Ornithodira (avian-line archosaurs) has hitherto been documented by incomplete (Lagerpeton) or unusually specialized forms (pterosaurs and Silesaurus). Recently, a variety of Silesaurus-like taxa have been reported from the Triassic period of both Gondwana and Laurasia, but their relationships to each other and to dinosaurs remain a subject of debate. Here we report on a new avian-line archosaur from the early Middle Triassic (Anisian) of Tanzania. Phylogenetic analysis places Asilisaurus kongwe gen. et sp. nov. as an avian-line archosaur and a member of the Silesauridae, which is here considered the sister taxon to Dinosauria. Silesaurids were diverse and had a wide distribution by the Late Triassic, with a novel ornithodiran bauplan including leaf-shaped teeth, a beak-like lower jaw, long, gracile limbs, and a quadrupedal stance. Our analysis suggests that the dentition and diet of silesaurids, ornithischians and sauropodomorphs evolved independently from a plesiomorphic carnivorous form. As the oldest avian-line archosaur, Asilisaurus demonstrates the antiquity of both Ornithodira and the dinosaurian lineage. The initial diversification of Archosauria, previously documented by crocodilian-line archosaurs in the Anisian, can now be shown to include a contemporaneous avian-line radiation. The unparalleled taxonomic diversity of the Manda archosaur assemblage indicates that archosaur diversification was well underway by the Middle Triassic or earlier.

Production of Biofuels from Synthesis Gas Using Microbial Catalysts

Publication year: 2010Source: Advances in Applied Microbiology, Volume 70, 2010, Pages 57-92Oscar, Tirado-Acevedo , Mari S., Chinn , Amy M., Grunden Abstract: World energy consumption is expected to increase 44% in the next 20 years. Today, the main sources of energy are oil, coal, and natural gas, all fossil fuels. These fuels are unsustainable and contribute to environmental pollution. Biofuels are a promising source of sustainable energy. Feedstocks for biofuels used today such as grain starch are expensive and compete with food markets. Lignocellulosic biomass is abundant and readily available from a variety of sources, for example, energy crops and agricultural/industrial waste. Conversion of these materials to biofuels by microorganisms through direct hydrolysis and fermentation can be challenging. Alternatively, biomass can be...

Publication year: 2010Source: Comptes Rendus Biologies, In Press, Corrected Proof, Available online 5 March 2010Philippe, Borsa , Philippe, BÃ©arez , Wei-Jen, ChenGymnocranius oblongus is described as a new species of the subfamily Monotaxinae (Sparoidea: Lethrinidae), a group of commercially important fishes distributed throughout the Indo-West Pacific, from six specimens collected in New Caledonia. It is characterized by an oblong, fusiform body, slightly rounded snout, elongate tail with rounded tips and sub-horizontal, wavy blue lines or dashes on snout and cheeks. It is distinct from sympatric G.Â grandoculis by a more slender body which is also more symmetrical dorso-ventrally and a more elongated caudal fin. Both mitochondrial-DNA and nuclear-DNA markers provide a genetic basis to the distinction of G.Â oblongus from G.Â grandoculis.

Related Articles Phylogenetic and morphological assessment of two new species of Amniculicola and their allies (Pleosporales). Persoonia. 2009 Dec;23:48-54 Authors: Zhang Y, Fournier J, Crous PW, Pointing SB, Hyde KD Two new species of Amniculicola, A. immersa sp. nov. and A. parva sp. nov. from submerged wood in a freshwater environment in Denmark and France are respectively described and illustrated. In addition, partial 28S rDNA sequence data is analysed to investigate their phylogenetic relationships with other pleosporalean taxa. All presently known Amniculicola species, A. immersa, A. lignicola and A. parva, form a robust clade together with the anamorphic species Anguillospora longissima, Spirosphaera cupreorufescens and Repetophragma ontariense. These six species, which are all from freshwater and mostly from Europe, constitute a well-supported group containing Pleospora rubicunda and Massariosphaeria typhicola. This putative monophyletic assemblage may represent an aquatic group in the Pleosporales. It is also pertinent that all five ascomycete taxa in this group stain their host substrates purple.

Persoonia. 2009 Dec;23:9-15 Authors: Linnakoski R, de Beer ZW, Rousi M, Solheim H, Wingfield MJ Ophiostomatoid fungi were isolated from Scolytus ratzeburgi infesting Betula pendula and B. pubescens in Norway. Fungi were identified based on morphology, DNA sequence comparison for two gene regions and phylogenetic analyses. The most abundant fungus was Ophiostoma karelicum, suggesting a specific relationship between the fungus, the vector insect and the host tree. Our results suggest that O. karelicum occurs across the geographic range of S. ratzeburgi and its close relatedness to the Dutch elm disease fungi suggests that it could be important if introduced into other parts of the world. Other fungi, only occasionally isolated from S. ratzeburgi, were identified as O. quercus and a novel taxon, described here as O. denticiliatum sp. nov. PMID: 20198157 [PubMed - in process]

Publication year: 2010Source: Trends in Microbiology, In Press, Corrected Proof, Available online 4 March 2010Yin, Chen , J. Colin, MurrellThe application of metagenomics, the culture-independent capture and subsequent analysis of genomic DNA from the environment, has greatly expanded our knowledge of the diversity of microbes and microbial protein families; however, the metabolic functions of many microorganisms remain largely unknown. DNA stable-isotope probing (DNA-SIP) is a recently developed method in which the incorporation of stable isotope from a labelled substrate is used to identify the function of microorganisms in the environment. The technique has now been used in conjunction with metagenomics to establish links between microbial identity and particular metabolic functions. The combination of DNA-SIP and metagenomics not only permits...

Bryoplana xerophila n. g. n. sp., a New Limnoterrestrial Microturbellarian (Platyhelminthes, Typhloplanidae, Protoplanellinae) from Epilithic Mosses, with Notes on Its Ecology. Zoolog Sci. 2010 Mar;27(3):285-91 Authors: Van Steenkiste N, Davison P, Artois T Bryoplana xerophila, a new genus and species of limnoterrestrial protoplanelline platyhelminth, was found in moss and soil covering a concrete wall in northern Alabama, USA. Bryoplana xerophila is the first taxon of limnoterrestrial Protoplanellinae recorded from North America and is one of the few rhabdocoels known from dry habitats. It is unique within Protoplanellinae in lacking rhabdites, having a pharynx rosulatus in the frontal half of the body, and lacking sclerotized parts in the male system. Notes on encystment, reproduction and feeding behavior are given. An updated identification key to all known genera of Protoplanellinae is presented. PMID: 20192698 [PubMed - in process]

Two new species of semicytherura (podocopa: ostracoda) from akkeshi bay, hokkaido, Japan, with comments on their speciation and related species. Zoolog Sci. 2010 Mar;27(3):292-302 Authors: Yamada S, Tsukagoshi A Two new ostracod species, Semicytherura maxima n. sp. and S. ikeyai n. sp., both belonging to the S. henryhowel group of the genus, are described. They were collected from Akkeshi Bay in northeastern Japan, and inhabit the marine sediment surface in places deeper than the intertidal zone. Their distributions in northern Japan seem to be influenced by the cold-water Chishima Current (Oyashio). The geological distribution and species diversity were surveyed for each of the subgroups recognized in the S. henryhowei group. The results suggest that these subgroups split from each other in the NW Pacific by the Early Miocene, and that one of them has spread around the Northern Hemisphere, while the other has remained in the NW Pacific since that time.
