Two novel Gram-positive, non-spore-forming, facultatively
anaerobic, non-motile, and short rods to coccoid strains were
isolated from the feces of the greater white-fronted geese
(Anser albifrons) at Poyang Lake. The 16S rRNA gene sequences
of strains 4H37-19T and 3HC-13 shared highest identity
to that of Corynebacterium uropygiale Iso10T (97.8%).
Phylogenetic and phylogenomic analyses indicated that strains
4H37-19T and 3HC-13 formed an independent clade within
genus Corynebacterium and clustered with Corynebacterium
uropygiale Iso10T. The average nucleotide identity and digital
DNA-DNA hybridization value between strains 4H37-19T and
3HC-13 and members within genus Corynebacterium were
all below 95% and 70%, respectively. The genomic G + C content
of strains 4H37-19T and 3HC-13 was 52.5%. Diphosphatidylglycerol
(DPG), phosphatidylglycerol (PG), phosphatidylinositol
(PI), phosphatidylcholine, and phosphatidyl inositol
mannosides (PIM) were the major polar lipids, with
C18:1ω9c, C16:0, and C18:0 as the major fatty acids, and MK-8
(H4), MK-8(H2), and MK-9(H2) as the predominant respiratory
quinones. The major whole cell sugar was arabinose,
and the cell wall included mycolic acids. The cell wall peptidoglycan
contained meso-diaminopimelic acid (meso-DAP).
The polyphasic taxonomic data shows that these two strains
represent a novel species of the genus Corynebacterium, for
which the name Corynebacterium poyangense sp. nov. is
proposed. The type strain of Corynebacterium poyangense
is 4H37-19T (=GDMCC 1.1738T = KACC 21671T).

Abstract

In Staphylococcus aureus, the accessory gene regulator (agr)
quorum-sensing system is thought to play an important role
in biofilm formation. The histidine kinase AgrC is one of the
agr system components and activated by the self-generated
auto-inducing peptide (AIP), which is released continuously
into the extracellular environment during bacterial growth.
The extracellular loops (Extra-loops) of AgrC are crucial for
AIP binding. Here, we reported that the cytoplasmic loops
(Cyto-loops) of AgrC are also involved in Agr activity. We
identified S. aureus ST398 clinical isolates containing a naturally
occurring single amino acid substitution (lysine to isoleucine)
at position 73 of an AgrC Cyto-loop that exhibited
significantly stronger biofilm formation and decreased Agr
activity compared to the wild-type strain. A constructed strain
containing the K73I point mutation in AgrC Cyto-loop continued
to show a growth dependent induction of the agr system,
although the growth dependent induction was delayed
by about 6 h compared to the wild-type. In addition, a series
of strains containing deletion mutants of the AgrC Cyto- and
Extra-loops were constructed and revealed that the removal
of the two Cyto-loops and Extra-loops 2 and 3 totally abolished
the Agr activity and the growth-dependence on the agr
system induction. Remarkably, the Extra-loop 1 deletion did
not affect the Agr activity. In conclusion, the AgrC Cyto-loops
play a crucial role in the S. aureus quorum-sensing activity.
