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
-
The increasing temperature in Arctic tundra deepens the
active layer, which is the upper layer of permafrost soil that
experiences repeated thawing and freezing. The increasing
of soil temperature and the deepening of active layer seem
to affect soil microbial communities. Therefore, information
on soil microbial communities at various soil depths is essential
to understand their potential responses to climate change
in the active layer soil. We investigated the community structure
of soil bacteria in the active layer from moist acidic tundra
in Council, Alaska. We also interpreted their relationship
with some relevant soil physicochemical characteristics along
soil depth with a fine scale (5 cm depth interval). The bacterial
community structure was found to change along soil
depth. The relative abundances of Acidobacteria, Gammaproteobacteria,
Planctomycetes, and candidate phylum WPS-2
rapidly decreased with soil depth, while those of Bacteroidetes,
Chloroflexi, Gemmatimonadetes, and candidate AD3 rapidly
increased. A structural shift was also found in the soil bacterial
communities around 20 cm depth, where two organic
(upper Oi and lower Oa) horizons are subdivided. The quality
and the decomposition degree of organic matter might
have influenced the bacterial community structure. Besides
the organic matter quality, the vertical distribution of bacterial
communities was also found to be related to soil pH and
total phosphorus content. This study showed the vertical
change of bacterial community in the active layer with a fine
scale resolution and the possible influence of the quality of soil
organic matter on shaping bacterial community structure.

Abstract
-
The presence of Burkholderia, Cupriavidus, and Ralstonia species in northeastern Mexico was investigated. An analysis of the root surrounding soil from different agricultural plants led to the isolation of Burkholderia and Cupriavidus species but no Ralstonia strains. Most Cupriavidus species were unknown and grouped into two clusters according to ARDRA profiles. The 16S rRNA sequence analysis showed that the Cupriavidus isolates were highly related among them and with different Cupriavidus species with validated names. However, SDS-PAGE profiles were distinct among the different ARDRA profiles and to other Cupriavidus species examined, suggesting new species in the genus. This shows that Cupriavidus is more widely associated with plants than previously appreciated. The BCC isolate was 99% similar to B. cenocepacia by recA sequence analysis. Additionally, most Cupriavidus strains from the two largest groups grew on media containing up to 0.1 mg/ml of copper, 10.0 mg/ml arsenic and 1.0 mg/ml zinc. Burkholderia strains grew on media containing up to 10.0 mg/ml zinc, 5.0 mg/ml arsenic and 0.1 mg/ml copper.
