Abstract
-
Extracellular vesicles (EVs), of diverse origin and content, are membranous structures secreted by a broad range of cell types. Recent advances in molecular biology have highlighted the pivotal role of EVs in mediating intercellular communication, facilitated by their ability to transport a diverse range of biomolecules, including proteins, lipids, DNA, RNA and metabolites. A striking feature of EVs is their ability to exert dual effects during viral infections, involving both proviral and antiviral effects. This review explores the dual roles of EVs, particularly in the context of pandemic viruses such as HIV-1 and SARS-CoV-2. On the one hand, EVs can enhance viral replication and exacerbate pathogenesis by transferring viral components to susceptible cells. On the other hand, they have intrinsic antiviral properties, including activation of immune responses and direct inhibition of viral infection. By exploring these contrasting functions, our review emphasizes the complexity of EV-mediated interactions in viral pathogenesis and highlights their potential as targets for therapeutic intervention. The insights obtained from investigating EVs in the context of HIV-1 and SARS-CoV-2 provide a deeper understanding of viral mechanisms and pathologies, and offer a new perspective on managing and mitigating the impact of these global health challenges.

Abstract
-
Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascades are highly conserved signaling modules that coordinate diverse biological processes such as plant innate immunity and development. Recently, MAPK cascades have emerged as pivotal regulators of the plant holobiont, infuencing the assembly of normal plant microbiota, essential for maintaining optimal plant growth and health. In this review, we provide an overview of current knowledge on MAPK cascades, from upstream perception of microbial stimuli to downstream host responses. Synthesizing recent fndings, we explore the intricate connections between MAPK signaling and the assembly and functioning of plant microbiota. Additionally, the role of MAPK activation in orchestrating dynamic changes in root exudation to shape microbiota composition is discussed. Finally, our review concludes by emphasizing the necessity for more sophisticated techniques to accurately decipher the role of MAPK signaling in establishing the plant holobiont relationship.

Abstract
-
Two Gram-stain-positive, motile, endospore-forming, facultatively anaerobic strains, designated MEBiC13591T
and
MEBiC13594T,
were isolated from tidal flat sediment of the Incheon City on the west coast of Korea. Growth of both
novel strains was observed at pH 5–9 (optimum, pH 7–7.5), and in 0–8% NaCl (optimum, 2% for MEBiC13591T
and
3% for MEBiC13594T).
Strains MEBiC13591T
and MEBiC13594T
grew optimally at 50 °C, (37.5–56.1 °C) and 44 °C
(20.7–50.7 °C), respectively. The main cellular fatty acids of strain MEBiC13591T
were iso-C15: 0, anteiso-C15: 0, iso-C16: 0,
iso-C17: 0 and anteiso-C17: 0, while those for strain MEBiC13594T
were C14:
0, iso-C14: 0, iso-C15: 0, anteiso-C15: 0 and C16:
0. In
both taxa, the major isoprenoid was MK-7. The genomic DNA G + C contents were 34.1 and 37.0 mol% for MEBiC13591T
and MEBiC13594T,
respectively. A 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis revealed that the novel strains showed high similarity
with members of the genera Aeribacillus (95.0%) and Caldibacillus (93.5–94.5%); however, showed lower than 90%
with Caldibacillus debilis TfT.
Phylogenetic and Phylogenomic analysis revealed that two novel strains comprised distinct
phyletic line with members formerly assigned to Caldibacillus. Based on genomic indices, such as AAI and ANI, members
formerly affiliated with Caldibacillus and Bacillus as well as the novel strains should be classified into five independent
genera. Based on the phenotypic, genomic and biochemical data, strains MEBiC13591T
and MEBiC13594T
represent two
novel species in the novel genus, for which the names Fervidibacillus albus gen. nov., sp. nov. (
MEBiC13591T [= KCCM
43317T
= KCTC 43181T
= JCM 33662T
= MCCC 1K04565T]),
and Fervidibacillus halotolerans sp. nov. (
MEBiC13594T
[= KCTC 43182T
= JCM 34001T])
are proposed. Three additional genera Caldifermentibacillus, Palidibacillus, and Perspicuibacillus
are also proposed by reclassification of the several species with valid names that formerly affiliated with the
genera Caldibacillus.

Abstract
-
Aconitase, a highly conserved protein across all domains of
life, functions in converting citrate to isocitrate in the tricarboxylic
acid cycle. Cytosolic aconitase is also known to act as
an iron regulatory protein in mammals, binding to the RNA
hairpin structures known as iron-responsive elements within
the untranslated regions of specific RNAs. Aconitase-2 (Aco2)
in fission yeast is a fusion protein consisting of an aconitase
and a mitochondrial ribosomal protein, bL21, residing not
only in mitochondria but also in cytosol and the nucleus. To
investigate the role of Aco2 in the nucleus and cytoplasm of
fission yeast, we analyzed the transcriptome of aco2ΔN mutant
that is deleted of nuclear localization signal (NLS). RNA
sequencing revealed that the aco2ΔN mutation caused increase
in mRNAs encoding iron uptake transporters, such as
Str1, Str3, and Shu1. The half-lives of mRNAs for these genes
were found to be significantly longer in the aco2ΔN mutant
than the wild-type strain, suggesting the role of Aco2 in mRNA
turnover. The three conserved cysteines required for the catalytic
activity of aconitase were not necessary for this role.
The UV cross-linking RNA immunoprecipitation analysis
revealed that Aco2 directly bound to the mRNAs of iron uptake
transporters. Aco2-mediated degradation of iron-uptake
mRNAs appears to utilize exoribonuclease pathway that involves
Rrp6 as evidenced by genetic interactions. These results
reveal a novel role of non-mitochondrial aconitase protein
in the mRNA turnover in fission yeast to fine-tune iron
homeostasis, independent of regulation by transcriptional
repressor Fep1.

Abstract
-
A Gram-stain-negative, strictly aerobic, marine bacterium,
designated GH2-2T, was isolated from a rhizosphere mudflat
of a halophyte (Carex scabrifolia) in Gangwha Island,
the Republic of Korea. The cells of the organism were oxidase-
positive, catalase-positive, flagellated, short rods that
grew at 10–40°C, pH 4–10, and 0–13% (w/v) NaCl. The predominant
ubiquinone was Q-10. The major polar lipids were
phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine, and phosphatidylglycerol.
The major fatty acid is C18:1. Phylogenetic
analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that the
novel isolate formed an independent lineage at the base of
the radiation encompassing members of the genus Thioclava,
except for Thioclava arenosa. The closest relatives were T.
nitratireducens (96.03% sequence similarity) and T. dalianensis
(95.97%). The genome size and DNA G+C content
were 3.77 Mbp and 59.6 mol%, respectively. Phylogenomic
analysis supported phylogenetic distinctness based on 16S
rRNA gene sequences. Average nucleotide identity values
were 73.6–74.0% between the novel strain and members of
the genus Thioclava. On the basis of data obtained from a
polyphasic approach, the strain GH2-2T (= KCTC 62124T =
DSM 105743T) represents a novel species of a new genus for
which the name Hahyoungchilella caricis gen. nov., sp. nov. is
proposed. Moreover, the transfer of Thioclava arenosa Thongphrom
et al. 2017 to Pseudothioclava gen. nov. as Pseudothioclava
arenosa comb. nov. is also proposed. Finally, Thioclava
electrotropha Chang et al. 2018 is proposed to be a later
heterosynonym of Thioclava sediminum Liu et al. 2017.

Abstract
-
SYP-B2174T is a yellow-pigmented, Gram-positive, non-motile,
and rod-shaped actinobacterium isolated from the rhizospheric
soil of Aquilegia viridiflora Pall. collected from the
Xinjiang uygur autonomous region of China. The strain’s
growth temperature ranges from 1 to 35°C, with an optimal
growth being observed at 28°C. Growth occurs from 0 to 5%
NaCl and at pH 6–8, with optimal growth being observed
in 1% NaCl at pH 7. Comparative 16S rRNA gene sequencebased
phylogenetic analysis placed the strain in a clade with
the species Leifsonia kafniensis JCM 17021T and Leifsonia psychrotolerans
DSM 22824T with similarities of 97.8 and 97.6%,
respectively. The DNA-DNA hybridization values of the strain
SYP-B2174T to its closest phylogenetic neighbors were significantly
lower than 35.7%. The strain was identified as a novel
species of the genus Leifsonia judging by the coryneform morphology,
peptidoglycans based upon 2,4-diaminobutyric acid,
principal phospholipids phosphatidylglycerol and diphosphatidylglycerol,
major menaquinone MK-11, predominant
fatty acids of anteiso-C15:0, anteiso-C17:0, and iso-C16:0, and a
DNA G + C base composition of 68.7 mol%, for which the
name Leifsonia flava sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is
SYP-B2174T (= CGMCC 1.15856T = DSM 105144T = KCTC
39963T).

Abstract
-
A novel strain DCY105T was isolated from soil collected from the rhizosphere of ginseng (Panax ginseng), in Gochang, Re-public of Korea. Strain DCY105T is Gram-reaction-negative, white, non-motile, non-flagellate, rod-shaped and aerobic. The bacteria grow optimally at 30°C, pH 6.5–7.0 and in the absence of NaCl. Phylogenetically, strain DCY105T is most closely related to Achromobacter marplatensis LMG 26219T (96.81%). The DNA G+C content of strain DCY105T was 64.4 mol%. Ubiquinone 8 was the major respiratory quinone, and phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, and dipho-sphatidylglycerol were amongst the major polar lipids. C16:00, C8:03OH and iso-C17:03OH were identified as the major fatty acids present in DCY105T. The results of physiological and biochemical tests allowed strain DCY105T to be differentiated phenotypically from other recognized species belonging to the genus Achromobacter. Therefore, it is suggested that the newly isolated organism represents a novel species, for which the name Achromobacter panacis sp. nov. is proposed with the type strain designated as DCY105T (=CCTCCAB 2015193T =KCTC 42751T).

Abstract
-
The microbiome in the rhizosphere–the region surrounding
plant roots–plays a key role in plant growth and health,
enhancing nutrient availability and protecting plants from
biotic and abiotic stresses. To assess bacterial diversity in the
tomato rhizosphere, we performed two contrasting approaches:
culture-dependent and -independent. In the culturedependent
approach, two culture media (Reasoner’s 2A agar
and soil extract agar) were supplemented with 12 antibiotics
for isolating diverse bacteria from the tomato rhizosphere
by inhibiting predominant bacteria. A total of 689 bacterial
isolates were clustered into 164 operational taxonomic units
(OTUs) at 97% sequence similarity, and these were found to
belong to five bacterial phyla (Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria,
Bacteroidetes, Acidobacteria, and Firmicutes). Of these, 122
OTUs were retrieved from the antibiotic-containing media,
and 80 OTUs were recovered by one specific antibiotic-containing
medium. In the culture-independent approach, we
conducted Illumina MiSeq amplicon sequencing of the 16S
rRNA gene and obtained 19,215 high-quality sequences, which
clustered into 478 OTUs belonging to 16 phyla. Among the
total OTUs from the MiSeq dataset, 22% were recovered in
the culture collection, whereas 41% of OTUs in the culture
collection were not captured by MiSeq sequencing. These
results
showed that antibiotics were effective in isolating
various taxa that were not readily isolated on antibiotic-free
media, and that both contrasting approaches provided complementary
information to characterize bacterial diversity
in the tomato rhizosphere.

Abstract
-
Diazotrophic bacteria were isolated from the rhizosphere of field-grown Triticum aestivum, Hordeum vulgare,
and Avena sativa grown in various regions of Greece. One isolate, with the highest nitrogen-fixation ability
from each of the eleven rhizospheres, was selected for further characterisation. Diazotrophic strains were
assessed for plant-growth-promoting traits such as indoleacetic acid production and phosphate solubilisation.
The phylogenies of 16S rRNA gene of the selected isolates were compared with those based on dnaK and
nifH genes. The constructed trees indicated that the isolates were members of the species Azospirillum brasilense,
Azospirillum zeae, and Pseudomonas stutzeri. Furthermore, the ipdC gene was detected in all A. brasilence
and one A. zeae isolates. The work presented here provides the first molecular genetic evidence for
the presence of culturable nitrogen-fixing P. stutzeri and A. zeae associated with field-grown A. sativa and
H. vulgare in Greece.

Abstract

Strain S22T, a novel cellulolytic bacterium was isolated from the rhizosphere of pine trees. This isolate was Gram-reaction positive, motile and rods, and formed terminal or subterminal ellipsoidal spores. S22T represented positive activity for catalase, oxidase, esterase (C4), esterase lipase (C8), β-galactosidase, leucine arylamidase, and hydrolysis of esculin. It contained meso-diaminopimelic acid as the diagnostic diamino acid in the cell-wall. The predominant isoprenoid quinone was menaquinone 7 (MK-7), and the major cellular fatty acids were anteiso-C15:0 (52.9%), iso-C16:0 (11.3%), and iso-C15:0 (10.0%). The DNA G+C content was 43.3 mol%. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that this isolate belonged to the family Paenibacillaceae. S22T exhibited less than 97.0% 16S rRNA gene similarity with all relative type strains in the genus Paenibacillus, and the most closely related strains were Paenibacillus anaericanus MH21T and Paenibacillus ginsengisoli Gsoil 1638T, with equal similarities of 95.8%. This polyphasic evidence suggested that strain S22T should be considered a novel species in the genus Paenibacillus, for which the name, Paenibacillus pini sp. nov., is proposed. The type strain is S22T (=KCTC 13694T =KACC 14198T =JCM 16418T)

Abstract
-
A novel cellulolytic bacterium, strain S23T, was isolated from the rhizosphere of the pine trees in Daejeon, Republic of Korea. This isolate was Gram-positive, strictly aerobic, rod-shaped, catalase-negative, oxidase- positive, motile by means of peritrichous flagella, and tested positive for alkaline phosphatase, esterase lipase,
leucine arylamidase, α-galactosidase, and β-galactosidase activities. The DNA G+C content was 49.5mol%. The main cellular fatty acids were anteiso-C15:0 (51.9%), iso-C16:0 (14.7%), and iso-C15:0 (13.2%). The major isoprenoid quinone was menaquinone 7 (MK-7). Diagnostic diamino acid in the cell-wall peptidoglycan
was meso-diaminopimelic acid. Comparative 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis showed that this strain clustered with Paenibacillus species. The 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity values between S23T and other Paenibacillus species were between 89.9% and 95.9%, and S23T was most closely related to Paenibacillus tarimensis SA-7-6T. On the basis of phylogenetic and phenotypic properties of strain S23T, the isolate is considered as a novel species belonging to the genus Paenibacillus. Therefore, the name, Paenibacillus pinihumi sp. nov., is proposed for the rhizosphere isolate; the type strain is S23T (=KCTC 13695T =KACC 14199T =JCM 16419T)

Abstract
-
A Gram-positive and endospore-forming bacterial strain, designated S4T, was isolated from the rhizosphere of ferns in Daejeon, Republic of Korea. This isolate is strictly aerobic, motile, and rod-like in shape, and it is positive for catalase, oxidase, esterase lipase, and β-galactosidase activities. In addition, this strain
grows when cultured at temperatures between 15 and 37°C and at pH values ranging from 5.5 to 9.0. The DNA G+C content was determined to be 53.2 mol%. Strain S4T has meso-diaminopimelic acid in the cell-wall peptidoglycan; it also contains menaquinone 7 (MK-7) as the predominant isoprenoid quinone and
anteiso-C15:0 (57.5%), iso-C16:0 (11.3%), and C16:0 (9.4%) as the major cellular fatty acids. Phylogenetic analysis based on alignments of the 16S rRNA gene sequence showed that S4T is affiliated with a cluster of strains within the genus Paenibacillaceae and is most closely related to Paenibacillus chinjuensis WN9T,
with 96.8% similarity. Based on the phylogenetic and phenotypic characteristics of strain S4T, we believe that this isolate should be distinguished from all type species of the genus Paenibacillus and should thus represent a novel taxon within the genus Paenibacillus. We propose naming this type species Paenibacillus filicis sp. nov. for the rhizosphere isolate; the type strain will be known as S4T (=KCTC 13693T =KACC 14197T =JCM 16417T).

Abstract
-
To address the diversity of cyclodextrin-producing P. graminis strains isolated from wheat roots and rhizospheres of maize and sorghum sown in Australia, Brazil, and France, restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis of part of genes encoding RNA polymerase (rpoB-RFLP) and DNA gyrase subunit B (gyrB-RFLP) was used to produce genetic fingerprints. A phylogenetic tree based on rpoB gene sequences was also constructed. The isolates originated from Brazil could be separated from those from Australia and France, when data from the rpoB-based phylogenetic tree or gyrB-RFLP were considered. These analyses also allowed the separation of all P. graminis strains studied here into four clusters; one group formed by the strains GJK201 and RSA19T, second group formed by the strains MC22.02 and MC04.21, third group formed by the strains TOD61, TOD 221, TOD302, and TOD111, and forth group formed by all strains isolated from plants sown in Cerrado soil, Brazil. As this last group was formed by strains isolated from sorghum and maize sown in the same soil (Cerrado) in Brazil, our results suggest that the diversity of these P. graminis strains is more affected by the soil type than the plant from where they
<br>have been isolated.

Biodiversity of yeasts was investigated in the ginseng cultivation field. Among 34 isolates tested in this study, 26 isolates belonged to the hymenomycetous yeast group. These 26 strains were classified into 12 species including four new-species candidates that did not have clear affiliation to any established species. Seven isolates among the remaining strains were classified into three ascomycetous yeast species, and one isolate was identified as a urediniomycetous yeast species.

Abstract
-
This study focused on detecting catabolic genes for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) distributed in the reed rhizosphere of Sunchon Bay, Korea. These marsh and mud environments were severely affected by human activities, including agriculture and fisheries. Our previous study on microbial roles in natural decontamination displayed the possibility that PAH-degrading bacteria, such as Achromobacter sp., Alcaligenes sp., Burkholderia sp. and Pseudomonas sp. play an important decontamination role in a reed rhizosphere. In order to gain further fundamental knowledge on the natural decontamination process, catabolic genes for PAH metabolism were investigated through PCR amplification of dioxygenase genes using soil genomic DNA and sequencing. Comparative analysis of predicted amino acid sequences from 50 randomly selected dioxygenase clones capable of hydroxylating inactivated aromatic nuclei indicated that these were divided into three groups, two of which might be originated from PAH-degrading bacteria. Amino acid sequences of each dioxygenase clone were a part of the genes encoding enzymes for initial catabolism of naphthalene, phenanthrene, or pyrene that might be originated from bacteria in the reed rhizosphere of Sunchon Bay.
