Bacillus kwashiorkori sp. nov., a new bacterial species isolated from a malnourished child using culturomics.

Project description:Strain SIT6T was isolated from the fecal flora of a severely malnourished child as part of a broad "culturomics" study aiming to maximize the culture conditions for the in-depth exploration of the human microbiota. An analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence showed that strain SIT6T shared 94.1% 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity with Bacillus thermoamylovorans DKPT (NR_029151), the phylogenetically closest type species. Colonies are creamy white, circular, 4-5 mm in diameter after cultivation at 37°C for 24 hr on 5% sheep blood-enriched Colombia agar. Growth occurs at temperatures in the range of 25-56°C (optimally at 37°C). Strain SIT6T is a gram-positive, facultative anaerobic rod and motile by means of peritrichous flagella and sporulating; it is catalase and oxidase positive. The 2,784,637-bp-long genome, composed of 16 contigs, has a G+C content of 35.19%. Of the 2,646 predicted genes, 2,572 were protein-coding genes and 74 were RNAs. The major fatty acids are saturated species (15:0 iso, 16:0 and 17:0 anteiso). Of the 14 detected fatty acids, 11 are saturated, either linear or branched (iso and anteiso). Digital DNA-DNA hybridization (dDDH) estimation and average genomic identity of orthologous gene sequences (AGIOS) of the strain SIT6T against genomes of the type strains of related species ranged between 18.6% and 38.3% and between 54.77% and 65.50%, respectively. According to our taxonogenomics results, we propose the creation of Bacillus kwashiorkori sp. nov. that contains the type strain SIT6T (=CSUR P2452T , =DSM 29059T ).

Project description:Bacillus rubiinfantis sp. nov. strain mt2(T) is the type strain of B. rubiinfantis sp. nov., isolated from the fecal flora of a child with kwashiorkor in Niger. It is Gram-positive facultative anaerobic rod belonging to the Bacillaceae family. We describe the features of this organism alongside the complete genome sequence and annotation. The 4 311 083 bp long genome (one chromosome but no plasmid) contains 4028 protein-coding gene and 121 RNA genes including nine rRNA genes.

Isolation and characterization of bacteria from ancient siberian permafrost sediment.

Project description:In this study, we isolated and characterized bacterial strains from ancient (Neogene) permafrost sediment that was permanently frozen for 3.5 million years. The sampling site was located at Mammoth Mountain in the Aldan river valley in Central Yakutia in Eastern Siberia. Analysis of phospolipid fatty acids (PLFA) demonstrated the dominance of bacteria over fungi; the analysis of fatty acids specific for Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria revealed an approximately twofold higher amount of Gram-negative bacteria compared to Gram-positive bacteria. Direct microbial counts after natural permafrost enrichment showed the presence of (4.7 ± 1.5) × 108 cells g-1 sediment dry mass. Viable heterotrophic bacteria were found at 0 °C, 10 °C and 25 °C, but not at 37 °C. Spore-forming bacteria were not detected. Numbers of viable fungi were low and were only detected at 0 °C and 10 °C. Selected culturable bacterial isolates were identified as representatives of Arthrobacter phenanthrenivorans, Subtercola frigoramans and Glaciimonas immobilis. Representatives of each of these species were characterized with regard to their growth temperature range, their ability to grow on different media, to produce enzymes, to grow in the presence of NaCl, antibiotics, and heavy metals, and to degrade hydrocarbons. All strains could grow at -5 °C; the upper temperature limit for growth in liquid culture was 25 °C or 30 °C. Sensitivity to rich media, antibiotics, heavy metals, and salt increased when temperature decreased (20 °C > 10 °C > 1 °C). In spite of the ligninolytic activity of some strains, no biodegradation activity was detected.

Insights from Bacillus anthracis strains isolated from permafrost in the tundra zone of Russia.

Project description:This article describes Bacillus anthracis strains isolated during an outbreak of anthrax on the Yamal Peninsula in the summer of 2016 and independently in Yakutia in 2015. A common feature of these strains is their conservation in permafrost, from which they were extracted either due to the thawing of permafrost (Yamal strains) or as the result of paleontological excavations (Yakut strains). All strains isolated on the Yamal share an identical genotype belonging to lineage B.Br.001/002, pointing to a common source of infection in a territory over 250 km in length. In contrast, during the excavations in Yakutia, three genetically different strains were recovered from a single pit. One strain belongs to B.Br.001/002, and whole genome sequence analysis showed that it is most closely related to the Yamal strains in spite of the remoteness of Yamal from Yakutia. The two other strains contribute to two different branches of A.Br.008/011, one of the remarkable polytomies described so far in the B. anthracis species. The geographic distribution of the strains belonging to A.Br.008/011 is suggesting that the polytomy emerged in the thirteenth century, in combination with the constitution of a unified Mongol empire extending from China to Eastern Europe. We propose an evolutionary model for B. anthracis recent evolution in which the B lineage spread throughout Eurasia and was subsequently replaced by the A lineage except in some geographically isolated areas.
