Oribacterium parvum sp. nov. and Oribacterium asaccharolyticum sp. nov., obligately anaerobic bacteria from the human oral cavity, and emended description of the genus Oribacterium.

ABSTRACT: Three strictly anaerobic, Gram-positive, non-spore-forming, rod-shaped, motile bacteria, designated strains ACB1(T), ACB7(T) and ACB8, were isolated from human subgingival dental plaque. All strains required yeast extract for growth. Strains ACB1(T) and ACB8 were able to grow on glucose, lactose, maltose, maltodextrin and raffinose; strain ACB7(T) grew weakly on sucrose only. The growth temperature range was 30-42 °C with optimum growth at 37 °C. Major metabolic fermentation end products of strain ACB1(T) were acetate and lactate; the only product of strains ACB7(T) and ACB8 was acetate. Major fatty acids of strain ACB1(T) were C(14?:?0), C(16?:?0), C(16?:?1)?7c dimethyl aldehyde (DMA) and C(18?:?1)?7c DMA. Major fatty acids of strain ACB7(T) were C(12?:?0), C(14?:?0), C(16?:?0), C(16?:?1)?7c and C(16?:?1)?7c DMA. The hydrolysate of the peptidoglycan contained meso-diaminopimelic acid, indicating peptidoglycan type A1?. Genomic DNA G+C content varied from 42 to 43.3% between strains. According to 16S rRNA gene sequence phylogeny, strains ACB1(T), ACB8 and ACB7(T) formed two separate branches within the genus Oribacterium, with 98.1-98.6% sequence similarity to the type strain of the type species, Oribacterium sinus. Predicted DNA-DNA hybridization values between strains ACB1(T), ACB8, ACB7(T) and O. sinus F0268 were <70%. Based on distinct genotypic and phenotypic characteristics, strains ACB1(T) and ACB8, and strain ACB7(T) are considered to represent two distinct species of the genus Oribacterium, for which the names Oribacterium parvum sp. nov. and Oribacterium asaccharolyticum sp. nov. are proposed. The type strains are ACB1(T) (?=?DSM 24637(T)?=?HM-481(T)?=?ATCC BAA-2638(T)) and ACB7(T) (?=?DSM 24638(T)?=?HM-482(T)?=?ATCC BAA-2639(T)), respectively.

Project description:Oceanobacter-related bacteria (ORB) are a group of oligotrophic marine bacteria play an underappreciated role in carbon cycling. They have been frequently described as one of the dominant bacterial groups with a wide distribution in coastal and deep seawater of global oceans. To clarify their taxonomic affiliation in relation to alkane utilization, phylogenomic and comparative genomics analyses were performed based on currently available genomes from GenBank and four newly isolated strains, in addition to phenotypic and chemotaxonomic characteristics. Consistently, phylogenomic analysis robustly separated them into two groups, which are accordingly hydrocarbon-degrading (HD, Thalassolituus and Oleibacter) and non-HD (NHD, Oceanobacter). In addition, the two groups can also be readily distinguished by several polyphasic taxonomic characteristics. Furthermore, both AAI and POCP genomic indices within the HD group support the conclusion that the members of the genus Oleibacter should be transferred into the genus Thalassolituus. Moreover, HD and NHD bacteria differed significantly in terms of genome size, G + C content and genes involved in alkane utilization. All HD bacteria contain the key gene alkB encoding an alkane monooxygenase, which can be used as a marker gene to distinguish the members of closely related genera Oceanobacter and Thalassolituus. Pangenome analysis revealed that the larger accessory genome may endow Thalassolituus with the flexibility to cope with the dynamics of marine environments and thrive therein, although they possess smaller pan, core- and unique-genomes than Oceanobacter. Within the HD group, twelve species were clearly distinguished from each other by both dDDH and ANI genomic indices, including two novel species represented by the newly isolated strains alknpb1M-1 T and 59MF3M-4 T , for which the names Thalassolituus hydrocarbonoclasticus sp. nov. and Thalassolituus pacificus sp. nov. are proposed. Collectively, these findings build a phylogenetic framework for the ORB and contribute to understanding of their role in marine carbon cycling.
