Abstract
-
The morphological switch from the yeast to hyphal form is a key virulence attribute of the opportunistic fungal pathogen,
Candida albicans. Our recent report showed that deletion of the newly identified apoptotic factor, CaNma111 or CaYbh3,
leads to hyperfilamentation and increased virulence in a mouse infection model. CaNma111 and CaYbh3 are homologs of the
pro-apoptotic protease, HtrA2/Omi, and BH3-only protein, respectively. In this study, we examined the effects of CaNMA111
and CaYBH3 deletion mutations on the expression levels of the hypha-specific transcr!ption factors, Cph1 (a hyphal activator),
Nrg1 (a hyphal repressor), and Tup1 (a hyphal repressor). The protein levels of Nrg1 were decreased in Caybh3/Caybh3 cells
while those of Tup1 were decreased in both Canma111/Canma111 and Caybh3/Caybh3 cells. These effects on Nrg1 and
Tup1 proteins were retained during serum-induced filamentation and appear to explain the hyperfilamentation phenotypes
of the CaNMA111 and CaYBH3 deletion mutants. Treatment with the apoptosis-inducing dose of farnesol decreased the
Nrg1 protein levels in the wild-type strain and more evidently in Canma111/Canma111 and Caybh3/Caybh3 mutant strains.
Together, our results suggest that CaNma111 and CaYbh3 are key regulators of Nrg1 and Tup1 protein levels in C. albicans.

Abstract
-
A Gram-negative, motile, rod-shaped, aerobic bacterial strain,
designated S7-2-11T, was isolated from apple orchard soil
from Gyeongsangnam-do Province, Republic of Korea, and
was characterized taxonomically using a polyphasic approach.
16S rRNA gene sequence analysis indicated that strain S7-2-
11T belongs to the family Cytophagaceae in phylum Bacteroidetes,
and is closely related to Spirosoma luteolum 16F6ET
(94.2% identity), Spirosoma knui 15J8-12T (92.7%), and Spirosoma
linguale DSM 74T (91.0%). The G + C content of the genomic
DNA of strain S7-2-11T was 49.8 mol%. Strain S7-2-11T
contained summed feature 3 (C16:1 ω7c/C16:1 ω6c; 35.1%), C16:1
ω5c (22.4%), C15:0 iso (13.9%), and C17:0 iso 3-OH (10.6%) as
major cellular fatty acids, and MK-7 as the predominant respiratory
quinone. The main polar lipids were phosphatidylethanolamine,
an unidentified aminophospholipid, and two
unidentified polar lipids. Phenotypic and chemotaxonomic
data supported the affiliation of strain S7-2-11T with the genus
Spirosoma. The results of physiological and biochemical
tests showed the genotypic and phenotypic differentiation of
the isolate from recognized Spirosoma species. On the basis
of its phenotypic properties, genotypic distinctiveness, and
chemotaxonomic features, strain S7-2-11T represents a novel
species of the genus Spirosoma, for which the name Spirosoma
pomorum sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is S7-2-11T
(= KCTC 52726T = JCM 32130T).

Abstract
-
A Gram-stain-negative, non-motile, non-spore-forming, rodshaped,
aerobic bacterium, designated 15J9-8T, was isolated
from soil on Jeju Island, Republic of Korea. The isolate was
able to grow between 10 and 30°C, pH 6.5–8.5, and in presence
of 0–1% (w/v) NaCl. The results of comparative 16S
rRNA gene sequence analysis indicated that strain 15J9-8T
represented a member of the family Cytophagaceae, phylum
Bacteroidetes, and was most closely related to Spirosoma
aerophilum 5516J-17T (96.1% similarity), Spirosoma pulveris
JSH5-14T (95.6%), and Spirosoma linguale DSM 74T (95.2%).
The G + C content of the genomic DNA of the isolate was
47.0 mol%. Strain 15J9-8T contained summed feature 3 (C16:1
ω7c/C16:1 ω6c), C16:1 ω5c, and iso-C15:0 as the major fatty acids,
phosphatidylethanolamine and an unidentified aminophospholipid
as the main polar lipids, and menaquinone MK-7
as the predominant respiratory quinone. On the basis of its
phenotypic and genotypic properties, and phylogenetic distinctiveness,
strain 15J9-8T should be classified as a representative
of a novel species of the genus Spirosoma, for which the
name Spirosoma migulaei sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain
is 15J9-8T (=KCTC 52028T =JCM 31996T).

Abstract
-
A novel, Gram-staining negative, yellow pigmented bacterial
strain, designated 15J11-2T, was isolated from soil sample
on Jeju Island, Republic of Korea. The strain was subjected to
a taxonomic study using a polyphasic approach. The strain
was able to grow at temperature range from 10°C to 30°C,
pH 7–8, and in presence of 0–1% (w/v) NaCl. Comparative
16S rRNA gene sequence analysis showed that strain
15J11-2T belongs to the genus Spirosoma and levels of 16S
rRNA gene sequence similarity ranged from 91.5% to 89.8%.
The genomic DNA G + C content of strain 15J11-2T was
46.0 mol%. The isolate contained phosphatidylethanolamine
and an unidentified aminophospholipid as the main
polar lipids, menaquinone MK-7 as the predominant respiratory
quinone, and summed feature 3 (C16:1 ω6c/C16:1 ω7c;
39.4%), C16:1 ω5c (27.1%), and C16:0 (13.0%) as the major fatty
acids, which supported the affiliation of strain 15J11-2T to
the genus Spirosoma. The results of physiological and biochemical
tests allowed genotypic and phenotypic differentiation
of strain 15J11-2T from recognized Spirosoma
species. On the basis of its phenotypic properties, genotypic
distinctiveness, chemotaxonomic features, strain 15J11-2T
represents a novel species of the genus Spirosoma, for which
the name Spirosoma flavus sp. nov. is proposed. The type
strain is 15J11-2T (= KCTC 52026T = JCM 31998T).

Abstract
-
A Gram-staining-negative, non-motile, curved rod-shaped,
aerobic bacterium, designated S1-2-4T, was isolated from
soil in Jeollabuk-do province, Republic of Korea, and was
characterized taxonomically using a polyphasic approach.
Comparative 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis showed that
strain S1-2-4T was a member of the family Cytophagaceae
and most closely related to ‘Spirosoma radiotolerans’ DG5A
(97.2%), Spirosoma fluviale MSd3T (96.4%), and Spirosoma
linguale DSM 74T (96.3%). The genomic DNA G + C content
of strain S1-2-4T was 49.7 mol%. The major fatty acids were
summed feature 3 (C16:1 ω7c/C16:1 ω6c), C16:1 ω5c, and C16:0,
and the major polar lipid was phosphatidylethanolamine.
MK-7 was the predominant respiratory quinone. Phenotypic
and chemotaxonomic data supported the affiliation of strain
S1-2-4T with the genus Spirosoma. DNA-DNA hybridization
between strain S1-2-4T and ‘Spirosoma radiotolerans’ showed
relatively low DNA-DNA relatedness (31%). Strain S1-2-4T
could be distinguished from its closest phylogenetic neighbors
based on its phenotypic, genotypic, and chemotaxonomic
features. Therefore, strain S1-2-4T represents a novel
member of the genus Spirosoma, for which the name Spirosoma
lituiforme sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is S1-
2-4T (= KCTC 52724T = JCM 32128T).

A Gram-stain-negative, non-motile, non-spore-forming, rodshaped,
aerobic bacterium, designated 15J9-6T, was isolated
from beach soil on Jeju Island, South Korea. Strain 15J9-6T,
grew at 10–30°C (optimum growth at 25°C) and pH 7–8 (optimum
growth at pH 7) on R2A, NA, and TSA agar. Phylogenetically,
the strain was closely related to members of the
genus Spirosoma (92.3–90.1% 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities)
and showed highest sequence similarity to Spirosoma
panaciterrae DSM 21099T (92.3%). The G+C content
of the genomic DNA of strain 15J9-6T was 45.7 mol%. The
strain contained phosphatidylethanolamine, two unidentified
aminophospholipids, an unidentified phospholipid, and an
unidentified lipid as the major polar lipids; menaquinone
MK-7 as the predominant respiratory quinone and summed
feature 3 (C16:1 ω6c/C16:1 ω7c; 30.1%), C16:1 ω5c (23.1%), iso
C15:0 (13.3%), and C16:0 (8.4%) as the major fatty acids which
supported the affiliation of strain 15J9-6T to the genus Spirosoma.
The results of physiological and biochemical tests
allowed genotypic and phenotypic differentiation of strain
15J9-6T from recognized Spirosoma species. On the basis of

Abstract
-
A Gram-stain-negative and orangish yellow-pigmented bacterial
strain, designated PR1014KT, was isolated from an automobile
evaporator core collected in Korea. Phylogenetic
analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that
strain PR1014KT was related with the members of the genus
Spirosoma (94.7–90.2%) and closely related with Spirosoma
lacussanchae CPCC 100624T (94.7%), Spirosoma knui 15J8-
12T (94.3%), and Spirosoma soli MIMBbqt12T (93.3%). The
strain grew at 15–40°C (optimum, 25°C), pH 6.5–7.0 (optimum,
6.5) and 0–1% (w/v) NaCl (optimum, 0%). The predominant
fatty acids were summed feature 3 (C16:1 ω7c and/or
C16:1 ω6c), C16:0, iso-C15:0, C16:1 ω5c, and iso-C17:0 3-OH. The
major menaquinone was MK-7. The polar lipid profile of the
strain indicated that the presence of one phosphatidylethanolamine,
one unidentified aminolipid, two unidentified
aminophospholipids, and three unidentified lipids. The DNA
G+C content of the strain was 47.4 mol%. On the basis of
the phenotypic, genotypic and chemotaxonomic characteristics,
strain PR1014KT represents a novel species in the genus
Spirosoma, for which the name Spirosoma metallicus
sp. nov. (=KACC 17940T =NBRC 110792T) is proposed.

Abstract
-
A novel Gram-negative and rod-shaped bacterial strain, de-signated as 16F6ET, was isolated from a water sample. Cells were yellowish in color and catalase- and oxidase-positive. The strain grew at 10–37°C (optimum at 25°C) but not at 4 and 42°C, and pH 5–7 (optimum at pH 7). It showed mod-erate resistance to gamma-ray irradiation. Comparative phy-logenetic analysis showed that strain 16F6ET belonged to the family Cytophagaceae of the class Cytophagia. Furthermore, this isolate showed relatively low 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities (90.7–93.1%) to the members of the genus Spiro-soma. The major fatty acids were summed feature 3 (C16:1 ω7c/C16:1 ω6c), C16:1 ω5c, C16:0 N alcohol, and C16:0. The polar lipid profile indicated presence of phosphatidylethanolamine, unknown aminophospholipids, an unknown amino lipid, unknown phospholipids, and unknown polar lipids. The pre-dominant isoprenoid quinone was MK-7. The genomic DNA G+C content of strain 16F6ET was 56.5 mol%. Phenotypic, phylogenetic, and chemotaxonomic properties indicated that isolate 16F6ET represents a novel species within the genus Spirosoma, for which the name Spirosoma luteolum sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is 16F6ET (=KCTC 52199T =JCM 31411T).

Abstract
-
Strain JSH 5-14T, a Gram-negative, non-motile, and curved
rod-shaped bacterium, was isolated from a dust sample collected
at Nonsan, Chungnam province, South Korea, and
was characterized to determine its taxonomic position. Phylogenetic
analysis based on the 16S rRNA gene sequence of
strain JSH 5-14T revealed that it belongs to the genus Spirosoma,
family Cytophagaceae, class Cytophagia. The highest
degree of sequence similarities of strain JSH 5-14T were found
with Spirosoma liguale DSM 74T (97.8%) and Spirosoma endophyticum
EX 36T (96.2%). The predominant fatty acids were
summed feature 3 (composed of C16:1 ω7c/C16:1 ω6c) and
C16:1ω5c. The major polar lipid was phosphatidylethanolamine,
and the predominant respiratory quinone was MK-7.
Based on the phylogenetic, chemotaxonomic, and phenotypic
data, we propose the strain JSH 5-14T (=KCTC 42550T =JCM
30688T =KEMB 9004-165T) should be classified as a type
strain of a novel species, for which the name Spirosoma pulveris
sp. nov., is proposed.

Abstract
-
A Gram-negative, yellow-pigmented, long-rod shaped bacterial
strain designated DY10T was isolated from a soil sample
collected at Mt. Deogyusan, Jeonbuk province, South Korea.
Optimum growth observed at 30°C and pH 7. No growth was
observed above 1% (w/v) NaCl. Comparative 16S rRNA gene
sequence analysis showed that strain DY10T belonged to the
genus Spirosoma and was distantly related to Spirosoma arcticum
R2-35T (91.0%), Spirosoma lingual DSM 74T (90.8%),
Spirosoma endophyticum EX36T (90.7%), Spirosoma panaciterrae
DSM 21099T (90.5%), Spirosoma rigui WPCB118T
(90.2%), Spirosoma spitsbergense DSM 19989T (89.8%), Spirosoma
luteum DSM 19990T (89.6%), Spirosoma oryzae RHs22T
(89.6%), and Spirosoma radiotolerans DG5AT (89.1%). Strain
DY10T showed resistance to gamma and ultraviolet radiation.
The chemotaxonomic characteristics of strain DY10T were
consistent with those of the genus Spirosoma, with the quinone
system with MK-7 as the predominant menaquinone,
iso-C15:0, C16:1 ω5c, and summed feature3 (C16:1 ω7c/C16:1 ω6c),
and phosphatidylethanolamine as the major polar lipid. The
G+C content of the genomic DNA was 53.0 mol%. Differential
phenotypic properties with the closely related type
strains clearly distinguished strain DY10T from previously
described members of the genus Spirosoma and represents
a novel species in this genus, for which the name Spirosoma
montaniterrae sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is DY10T
(=KCTC 23999T =KEMB 9004-162T =JCM 18492T).
