Stenotrophomonas bentonitica sp. nov., isolated from bentonite formations.

ABSTRACT: A Gram-stain negative, rod-shaped, aerobic bacterial strain, BII-R7T, was isolated during a study targeting the culture-dependent microbial diversity occurring in bentonite formations from southern Spain. Comparative 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis showed that BII-R7T represented a member of the genus Stenotrophomonas (class Gammaproteobacteria), and was related most closely to Stenotrophomonas rhizophila e-p10T (99.2 % sequence similarity), followed by Stenotrophomonas pavanii ICB 89T (98.5 %), Stenotrophomonas maltophilia IAM 12423T, Stenotrophomonas chelatiphaga LPM-5T and Stenotrophomonas tumulicola T5916-2-1bT (all 98.3 %). Pairwise sequence similarities to all other type strains of species of the genus Stenotrophomonas were below 98 %. Genome-based calculations (orthologous average nucleotide identity, original average nucleotide identity, genome-to-genome distance and DNA G+C percentage) indicated clearly that the isolate represents a novel species within this genus. Different phenotypic analyses, such as the detection of a quinone system composed of the major compound ubiquinone Q-8 and a fatty acid profile with iso-C15 : 0 and anteiso-C15 : 0 as major components, supported this finding at the same time as contributing to a comprehensive characterization of BII-R7T. Based on this polyphasic approach comprising phenotypic and genotypic/molecular characterization, BII-R7T can be differentiated clearly from its phylogenetic neighbours, establishing a novel species for which the name Stenotrophomonas bentonitica sp. nov. is proposed with BII-R7T as the type strain (=LMG 29893T=CECT 9180T=DSM 103927T).

Project description:Four Gram-stain-negative bacterial strains, CS20T, AUT15.5T, XENO-11T, and CCN3.3T, isolated from Steinernema entomopathogenic nematodes, were found to represent novel species within the genus Xenorhabdus (Gammaproteobacteria, Morganellaceae). In this study, we described these new species using whole-genome phylogenomic reconstructions, sequence identity values from core genome sequences, and phenotypic characterization. Phylogenetic reconstructions based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that: (i) strain CS20T is closely related to X. stockiae DSM 17904T, (ii) strain AUT15.5T is closely related to X. budapestensis DSM 16342T, (iii) strain XENO-11T is closely related to X. khoisanae DSM 25463T, and (iv) strain CCN3.3T is closely related to X. griffiniae DSM 17911T. The 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity value between strain CS20T and X. stockiae DSM 17904T is 97.8%, between strain AUT15.5T and X. budapestensis DSM 16342T is 98.1%, between strain XENO-11T and X. khoisanae DSM 25463T is 97.8%, and between strain CCN3.3T and X. griffiniae DSM 17911T is 98.6%. Phylogenomic reconstructions using whole-genome sequences showed that: (i) strain CS20T is closely related to X. stockiae DSM 17904T and X. innexi DSM 16336T, (ii) strain AUT15.5T is closely related to X. indica DSM 17382T, (iii) strain XENO-11T is closely related to X. khoisanae DSM 25463T, and (iv) strain CCN3.3T is closely related to X. griffiniae DSM 17911T. The digital DNA-DNA hybridization (dDDH) and average nucleotide identity (ANI) values between strains CS20T, AUT15.5T, XENO-11T, and CCN3.3T and the type strains of their more closely related species are below the 70% and the 95-96% divergence thresholds, respectively, used for prokaryotic species delineation. Hence, we propose the following four new species: Xenorhabdus bharatensis sp. nov. (the type strain is CS20T=CCM 9320T=CCOS 2070T), X. entomophaga sp. nov. (the type strain is XENO-11T=CCM 9389T=CCOS 2111T), X. siamensis sp. nov. (the type strain is AUT15.5T=CCM 9405T=CCOS 2116T), and X. thailandensis sp. nov. (the type strain is CCN3.3T=CCM 9406T=CCOS 2115T). The following biochemical tests may be useful for differentiating the novel species from their more closely related taxa: acetoin production, arginine dihydrolase, citrate utilization, gelatinase, glucose oxidation, indole production, and tryptophan deaminase. Our study contributes to a better understanding of the biodiversity and phylogenetic relationships of entomopathogenic bacteria associated with insect parasitic nematodes.

Project description:Three bacterial strains, XENO-2T, XENO-7T, and XENO-10T, isolated from Steinernema entomopathogenic nematodes, were found to represent novel Xenorhabdus species. In this study, we describe these new species by whole-genome and whole-proteome phylogenomic reconstructions, by calculating sequence identity scores using core genome sequences, and by phenotypic characterization. Phylogenomic reconstructions using ribosomal and house-keeping genes, and whole-genome and whole-proteome sequences show that XENO-2T and XENO-10T are closely related to Xenorhabdus japonica DSM 16522T and that XENO-7T is closely related to Xenorhabdus bovienii subsp. africana XENO-1T and to X. bovienii subsp. bovienii T228T. The dDDH values between XENO-2T and XENO-10T and between XENO-2T and X. japonica DSM 16522T are 56.4 and 51.8%, respectively. The dDDH value between XENO-10T and X. japonica DSM 16522T is 53.4%. The dDDH values between XENO-7T and X. bovienii subsp. africana XENO-1T and between XENO-7T and X. bovienii subsp. bovienii T228T are 63.6 and 69.4%, respectively. These dDDH values are below the 70% divergence threshold for prokaryotic species delineation. The newly described species are highly pathogenic to G. mellonella larvae, grow at pH between 5 and 9 (optimum 5-7), at salt concentrations of 1-3% (optimum 1-2%), and temperatures between 20 and 37 °C (optimum 28-30 °C). Biochemical tests such as lysine decarboxylase, ornithine decarboxylase, urease, gelatinase, citrate utilization, indole and acetoin production, and cytochrome oxidase tests allow to differentiate the novel species from their more closely related species. Considering these genetic and phenotypic divergencies, we propose the following new species: Xenorhabdus aichiensis sp. nov. with XENO-7T (= CCM 9233T = CCOS 2024T) as the type strain, Xenorhabdus anantnagensis sp. nov., with XENO-2T (= CCM 9237T = CCOS 2023T) as the type strain, and Xenorhabdus yunnanensis sp. nov., with XENO-10T (= CCM 9322T = CCOS 2071T) as the type strain. Our study contributes to a better understanding of the biodiversity and phylogenetic relationships of entomopathogenic bacteria associated with insect parasitic nematodes.

Project description:A total of 27 Listeria isolates that could not be classified to the species level were obtained from soil samples from different locations in the contiguous United States and an agricultural water sample from New York. Whole-genome sequence-based average nucleotide identity blast (ANIb) showed that the 27 isolates form five distinct clusters; for each cluster, all draft genomes showed ANI values of <95 % similarity to each other and any currently described Listeria species, indicating that each cluster represents a novel species. Of the five novel species, three cluster with the Listeria sensu stricto clade and two cluster with sensu lato. One of the novel sensu stricto species, designated L. cossartiae sp. nov., contains two subclusters with an average ANI similarity of 94.9%, which were designated as subspecies. The proposed three novel sensu stricto species (including two subspecies) are Listeria farberi sp. nov. (type strain FSL L7-0091T=CCUG 74668T=LMG 31917T; maximum ANI 91.9 % to L. innocua), Listeria immobilis sp. nov. (type strain FSL L7-1519T=CCUG 74666T=LMG 31920T; maximum ANI 87.4 % to L. ivanovii subsp. londoniensis) and Listeria cossartiae sp. nov. [subsp. cossartiae (type strain FSL L7-1447T=CCUG 74667T=LMG 31919T; maximum ANI 93.4 % to L. marthii) and subsp. cayugensis (type strain FSL L7-0993T=CCUG 74670T=LMG 31918T; maximum ANI 94.7 % to L. marthii). The two proposed novel sensu lato species are Listeria portnoyi sp. nov. (type strain FSL L7-1582T=CCUG 74671T=LMG 31921T; maximum ANI value of 88.9 % to L. cornellensis and 89.2 % to L. newyorkensis) and Listeria rustica sp. nov. (type strain FSL W9-0585T=CCUG 74665T=LMG 31922T; maximum ANI value of 88.7 % to L. cornellensis and 88.9 % to L. newyorkensis). L. immobilis is the first sensu stricto species isolated to date that is non-motile. All five of the novel species are non-haemolytic and negative for phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C activity; the draft genomes lack the virulence genes found in Listeria pathogenicity island 1 (LIPI-1), and the internalin genes inlA and inlB, indicating that they are non-pathogenic.

Project description:Two non-pigmented, motile, Gram-negative marine bacteria designated R9SW1T and A3d10T were isolated from sea water samples collected from Chazhma Bay, Gulf of Peter the Great, Sea of Japan, Pacific Ocean, Russia and St. Kilda Beach, Port Phillip Bay, the Tasman Sea, Pacific Ocean, respectively. Both organisms were found to grow between 4 °C and 40 °C, between pH 6 to 9, and are moderately halophilic, tolerating up to 20% (w/v) NaCl. Both strains were found to be able to degrade Tween 40 and 80, but only strain R9SW1T was found to be able to degrade starch. The major fatty acids were characteristic for the genus Marinobacter including C16:0, C16:1ω7c, C18:1ω9c and C18:1ω7c. The G+C content of the DNA for strains R9SW1T and A3d10T were determined to be 57.1 mol% and 57.6 mol%, respectively. The two new strains share 97.6% of their 16S rRNA gene sequences, with 82.3% similarity in the average nucleotide identity (ANI), 19.8% similarity in the in silico genome-to-genome distance (GGD), 68.1% similarity in the average amino acid identity (AAI) of all conserved protein-coding genes, and 31 of the Karlin's genomic signature dissimilarity. A phylogenetic analysis showed that R9SW1T clusters with M. algicola DG893T sharing 99.40%, and A3d10T clusters with M. sediminum R65T sharing 99.53% of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities. The results of the genomic and polyphasic taxonomic study, including genomic, genetic, phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and phylogenetic analyses based on the 16S rRNA, gyrB and rpoD gene sequence similarities, the analysis of the protein profiles generated using MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry, and DNA-DNA relatedness data, indicated that strains R9SW1T and A3d10(T) represent two novel species of the genus Marinobacter. The names Marinobacter salarius sp. nov., with the type strain R9SW1(T) ( = LMG 27497(T) = JCM 19399(T) = CIP 110588(T) = KMM 7502(T)) and Marinobacter similis sp. nov., with the type strain A3d10(T) ( = JCM 19398(T) = CIP 110589(T) = KMM 7501T), are proposed.
