Achromobacter denitrificans
The type species of gram negative, aerobic bacteria in the genus ACHROMOBACTER. Previously in the genus ALCALIGENES, the classification and nomenclature of this species has been frequently emended. The two subspecies, Achromobacter xylosoxidans subsp. denitrificans and Achromobacter xylosoxidans subsp. xylosoxidans are associated with infections.
Methylobacterium extorquens
Chryseobacterium
Amoeba
Chlamydiales
An order of obligately intracellular, gram-negative bacteria that have the chlamydia-like developmental cycle of replication. This is a two-stage cycle that includes a metabolically inactive infectious form, and a vegetative form that replicates by binary fission. Members of Chlamydiales are disseminated by aerosol or by contact. There are at least six recognized families: CHLAMYDIACEAE, Criblamydiaceae, Parachlamydiaceae, Rhabdochlamydia, Simkaniaceae, and Waddliaceae.

Ammonia- and nitrite-oxidizing bacterial communities in a pilot-scale chloraminated drinking water distribution system. (1/31)
Nitrification in drinking water distribution systems is a common operational problem for many utilities that use chloramines for secondary disinfection. The diversity of ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) and nitrite-oxidizing bacteria (NOB) in the distribution systems of a pilot-scale chloraminated drinking water treatment system was characterized using terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism (T-RFLP) analysis and 16S rRNA gene (ribosomal DNA [rDNA]) cloning and sequencing. For ammonia oxidizers, 16S rDNA-targeted T-RFLP indicated the presence of Nitrosomonas in each of the distribution systems, with a considerably smaller peak attributable to Nitrosospira-like AOB. Sequences of AOB amplification products aligned within the Nitrosomonas oligotropha cluster and were closely related to N. oligotropha and Nitrosomonas ureae. The nitrite-oxidizing communities were comprised primarily of Nitrospira, although Nitrobacter was detected in some samples. These results suggest a possible selection of AOB related to N. oligotropha and N. ureae in chloraminated systems and demonstrate the presence of NOB, indicating a biological mechanism for nitrite loss that contributes to a reduction in nitrite-associated chloramine decay. (+info)Bosea minatitlanensis sp. nov., a strictly aerobic bacterium isolated from an anaerobic digester. (2/31)
A strictly aerobic, mesophilic bacterium, strain AMX 51(T), was isolated from anaerobic digester sludge. Cells were Gram-negative, motile, non-sporulating, straight to curved rods with one polar flagellum. The isolate had phenotypic traits of the genus Bosea, including cellular fatty acid and substrate utilization profiles. Physiological characteristics and antibiotic susceptibility were determined. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that strain AMX 51(T) was a member of the alpha-Proteobacteria, most closely related to Bosea thiooxidans DSM 9653(T) (similarity of 98.88 %). Methylobacterium organophilum JCM 2833(T), Methylobacterium mesophilicum JCM 2829(T), Afipia clevelandensis DSM 7315(T), Afipia felis DSM 7326(T), Afipia broomeae DSM 7327(T), Blastobacter denitrificans LMG 8443(T) and Bradyrhizobium japonicum DSM 30131(T) showed significant 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities to strain AMX 51(T). The DNA G+C composition of strain AMX 51(T) was 68.5 mol%. DNA-DNA hybridization analysis revealed 44.2 and 15.1 % relatedness between strain AMX 51(T) and the respective type strains of Bosea thiooxidans and A. felis. Overall results suggest that strain AMX 51(T) (=DSM 13099(T)=ATCC 700918(T)=CIP 106457(T)) represents a novel species of the genus Bosea; the name Bosea minatitlanensis sp. nov. is proposed. (+info)Usefulness of rpoB gene sequencing for identification of Afipia and Bosea species, including a strategy for choosing discriminative partial sequences. (3/31)
Bacteria belonging to the genera Afipia and Bosea are amoeba-resisting bacteria that have been recently reported to colonize hospital water supplies and are suspected of being responsible for intensive care unit-acquired pneumonia. Identification of these bacteria is now based on determination of the 16S ribosomal DNA sequence. However, the 16S rRNA gene is not polymorphic enough to ensure discrimination of species defined by DNA-DNA relatedness. The complete rpoB sequences of 20 strains were first determined by both PCR and genome walking methods. The percentage of homology between different species ranged from 83 to 97% and was in all cases lower than that observed with the 16S rRNA gene; this was true even for species that differed in only one position. The taxonomy of Bosea and Afipia is discussed in light of these results. For strain identification that does not require the complete rpoB sequence (4,113 to 4,137 bp), we propose a simple computerized method that allows determination of nucleotide positions of high variability in the sequence that are bordered by conserved sequences and that could be useful for design of universal primers. A fragment of 740 to 752 bp that contained the most highly variable area (positions 408 to 420) was amplified and sequenced with these universal primers for 47 strains. The variability of this sequence allowed identification of all strains and correlated well with results of DNA-DNA relatedness. In the future, this method could be also used for the determination of variability "hot spots" in sets of housekeeping genes, not only for identification purposes but also for increasing the discriminatory power of sequence typing techniques such as multilocus sequence typing. (+info)Isolation of novel bacteria and actinomycetes using soil-extract agar medium. (4/31)
Novel bacteria were discovered using an isolation technique consisting of (i) selection of microorganisms that grew on soil-extract agar medium, but not on conventional media, and (ii) detection of small microbial colonies with a microscope. Three bacterial strains thus isolated were provisionally designated Shinshu-th1, -th2, -th 3, and five actinomycete strains, Shinshu-MS-01, -02, -03, -04, -05, respectively. Sequence analysis of their 16S rDNA showed that th1 had 95--96% homology with three unculturable bacteria, and th2 had 96% similarity to Bradyrhizobium sp., one unculturable and one unidentified bacterial strain. A phylogenetic study indicated that both strains were alpha-Proteobacteria belonging to the order Rhizobiales and the family Bradyrhizobiaceae. Since they had low homology (96%) with their close relatives, it is possible that th1 and th2 belong to a new genus. The actinomycetes Shinshu-MS-02 and -03 had 95--96% homology with four strains of Actinomadura, -04 had 95--96% similarity to Streptosporangium and Microbispora, and -05 had 97--98% homology with three strains of Acrocarpospora, Herbidospora and Planotetraspora. According to the phylogenetic study, both 02 and 03 are possibly new species of Actinomadura, -04 of Streptosporangium, and -05 of Acrocarpospora. Shinshu-th 3 and -MS-01 were identified as Mycobacterium cookii and Frankia sp., respectively, having 99% homology with these species. (+info)Dynamics of viable nitrifier community, N-mineralization and nitrification in seasonally dry tropical forests and savanna. (5/31)
The study was conducted in Vindhyan region, to assess the N-mineralization, nitrification and size of viable community of ammonium- and nitrite-oxidizing bacteria as affected by different sites and seasons. Six different ecosystems (four forests and two savannas), which differ in terms of topography, vegetation and moisture status, were selected for the present study. The soils of the study sites differ significantly in its physico-chemical properties. The savanna site had significantly higher pH (7.2), bulk density (1.37 g cm(-3)) and silt content (67.80%) but lower water holding capacity (1.37%), total-C (16,356 microg g(-1) dry soil), N (1090 microg g(-1) dry soil) and P (213 microg g(-1) dry soil) than forest sites. The soil moisture content, N-mineralization, nitrification rates and numbers of ammonium- and nitrite-oxidizing bacteria were highest in the wet season and lowest in dry season, while the size of mineral-N (NH4(+)-N and NO3(-)-N) showed a reverse trend at the sites. The N-mineralization, nitrification and nitrifier population size differ significantly across the site and season. The numbers of free-living cells of ammonium- and nitrite-oxidizing bacteria were significantly related to each other and to N-mineralization, nitrification, soil moisture and mineral-N components. The N-mineralization, nitrification and the viable number of nitrifying cells were consistently higher for forest soils compared to savanna sites. It was concluded that soil microbial process (N-mineralization and nitrification) and nitrifier population size were dependent on site topography, vegetation cover and soil moisture status. (+info)Rhodoblastus sphagnicola sp. nov., a novel acidophilic purple non-sulfur bacterium from Sphagnum peat bog. (6/31)
An isolate of purple non-sulfur bacteria was obtained from an acidic Sphagnum peat bog and designated strain RS(T). The colour of cell suspensions of this bacterium growing in the light under anaerobic conditions is purplish red. Cells of strain RS(T) are rod-shaped, 0.8-1.0 microm wide and 2.0-6.0 microm long, motile by means of polar flagella, reproduce by budding and have a tendency to form rosette-like clusters in older cultures. The cells contain lamellar intracytoplasmic membranes underlying, and parallel to, the cytoplasmic membrane. The photosynthetic pigments are bacteriochlorophyll a and carotenoids; the absorption spectrum of living cells shows maxima at 377, 463, 492, 527, 592, 806 and 867 nm. The cells grow photoheterotrophically under anaerobic or microaerobic conditions with various organic carbon sources or grow photolithoautotrophically with H(2) and CO(2). Strain RS(T) is a moderately acidophilic organism exhibiting growth at pH values between 4.8 and 7.0 (with an optimum at pH 5.2-5.5). The major fatty acids are 16 : 1omega7c and 18 : 1omega7c; the major quinones are Q-10 and Q-9. The DNA G + C content of strain RS(T) is 62.6 mol%. Analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence revealed that the novel isolate is most closely related (97.3 % sequence similarity) to the type strain ATCC 25092(T) of the moderately acidophilic purple non-sulfur bacterium Rhodoblastus acidophilus, formerly named Rhodopseudomonas acidophila. However, in contrast to Rbl. acidophilus, strain RS(T) is not capable of aerobic growth in the dark, has no spirilloxanthin among the carotenoids and differs in the pattern of substrate utilization. The value for DNA-DNA hybridization between strain RS(T) and Rbl. acidophilus ATCC 25092(T) is only 22 %. Thus, strain RS(T) represents a novel species of the genus Rhodoblastus, for which the name Rhodoblastus sphagnicola sp. nov. is proposed. Strain RS(T) (=DSM 16996(T) = VKM B-2361(T)) is the type strain. (+info)Nitric oxide reductase-targeted real-time PCR quantification of denitrifier populations in soil. (7/31)
The quantification of denitrifying bacteria is a component in the further understanding of denitrification processes in the environment. Real-time PCR primers were designed to target two segments of the denitrifier population (cnorB(P) [Pseudomonas mandelii and closely related strains] and cnorB(B) [Bosea, Bradyrhizobium, and Ensifer spp.]) in agricultural soils based on functional cnorB (nitric oxide reductase) gene sequences. Total population numbers were measured using 16S rRNA gene real-time PCR. Two soil microcosm experiments were conducted. Experiment 1 examined the response of the indigenous soil microbial population to the addition of 500 mg/kg glucose-C daily over 7 days in soil microcosms. Changes in the total population were correlated (r = 0.83) between 16S rRNA gene copy numbers and microbial biomass carbon estimates. Members of the cnorB(P) population of denitrifiers showed typical r-strategy by being able to increase their proportion in the total population from starting levels of <0.1% to around 2.4% after a daily addition of 500 mg/kg glucose-C. The cnorB(B) guild was not able to increase its relative percentage of the total population in response to the addition of glucose-C, instead increasing copy numbers only in proportion with the total population measured by 16S rRNA genes. Experiment 2 measured population dynamics in soil after the addition of various amounts of glucose-C (0 to 500 mg/kg) and incubation under denitrifying conditions. cnorB(P) populations increased proportionally with the amount of glucose-C added (from 0 to 500 mg/kg). In soil microcosms, denitrification rates, respiration, and cnorB(P) population densities increased significantly with increasing rates of glucose addition. cnorB(B) guild densities did not increase significantly under denitrifying conditions in response to increasing C additions. (+info)Nitric and nitrous oxide reductases are active under aerobic conditions in cells of Thiosphaera pantotropha. (8/31)
Use of Clark-type electrodes has shown that, in cells of Thiosphaera pantotropha, the nitrous oxide reductase is active in the presence of O2, and that the two gases involved (N2O, O2) are reduced simultaneously, but with mutual inhibition. Reduction of nitrate, or nitrite, to N2O under aerobic conditions involves NO as an intermediate, as judged by trapping experiments with the ferric form of extracellular horse heart cytochrome c and the demonstration that the cells possess a nitric oxide reductase activity. The overall conversion of nitrate to N2, the process of denitrification, under aerobic conditions, is thus not prevented by reaction of NO with O2 and depends upon a nitrous oxide reductase system which differs from that in other organisms by being neither directly inhibited nor inactivated by O2.
