To obtain a more detailed understanding of the ecological and evolutionary behaviors of microbes in Psylloidea, the bacterial populations of six psyllid species, belonging to the family Carsidaridae, were analyzed using high-throughput amplicon sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene. The majority of the secondary symbionts identified in the present study were gammaproteobacteria, particularly those of the order Enterobacterales, including Arsenophonus and Sodalis, which are lineages found in a wide variety of insect hosts. Additionally, Symbiopectobacterium, another Enterobacterales lineage, which has recently been recognized and increasingly shown to be vertically transmitted and mutualistic in various invertebrates, was identified for the first time in Psylloidea. This lineage is closely related to Pectobacterium spp., which are plant pathogens, but forms a distinct clade exhibiting no pathogenicity to plants. Non-Enterobacterales gammaproteobacteria found in the present study were Acinetobacter, Pseudomonas (both Pseudomonadales), Delftia, Comamonas (both Burkholderiales), and Xanthomonas (Xanthomonadales), a putative plant pathogen. Regarding alphaproteobacteria, three Wolbachia (Rickettsiales) lineages belonging to supergroup B, the major group in insect lineages, were detected in four psyllid species. In addition, a Wolbachia lineage of supergroup O, a minor group recently found for the first time in Psylloidea, was detected in one psyllid species. These results suggest the pervasive transfer of bacterial symbionts among animals and plants, providing deeper insights into the evolution of the interactions among these organisms.","PeriodicalId":18482,"journal":{"name":"Microbes and Environments","volume":"38 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10522848/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10421217","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Hygiene in this area is vital, particularly for surgery, because of its proximity to the laparotomy site. Although microorganisms in the umbilicus have been extensively examined, those in umbilical dirt have not due to the lack of an efficient method of collection. We previously established a technique to extract umbilical dirt using the anchor effect of polymers, which are injected into the umbilicus. In the present study, we applied this technique for the first time to investigate umbilical dirt. The results obtained revealed an abundance of Corynebacterium among various bacteria, whereas Cutibacterium and Staphylococcus, which are abundant at other skin sites, were rare. The relationships between the microbiota and issues related to the umbilicus were investigated and some covariates, including the odor score and several bacteria, were identified. A detailed ana-lysis of the genera associated with odor revealed no correlation with Corynebacterium; however, some minor anaerobic bacteria, such as Mobiluncus, Arcanobacterium, and Peptoniphilus, were more abundant in the high odor score group. Therefore, this technique to collect umbilical dirt provided insights into the microbiota in umbilical dirt and suggested functions for minor anaerobes. Furthermore, since various pathogenic microorganisms were detected, their control may contribute to the prevention of both odor production and infectious diseases caused by these microorganisms.","PeriodicalId":18482,"journal":{"name":"Microbes and Environments","volume":"38 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10522843/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9806723","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One of these genes, mutant N3H4, did not induce nodulation when inoculated into the host plant Casuarina glauca. Cell lineages that regained the ability to fix N2 as free-living cells were isolated from the mutant cell population. These restored strains also regained the ability to stimulate nodulation. A comparative ana-lysis of the genomes of mutant N3H4 and restored strains revealed that the mutant carried a mutation (Thr584Ile) in the glutamine-dependent NAD+ synthetase gene (Francci3_3146), while restored strains carried an additional suppressor mutation (Asp478Asn) in the same gene. Under nitrogen-depleted conditions, the concentration of NAD(H) was markedly lower in the mutant strain than in the wild type, whereas it was higher in restored strains.

The release of coral mucus has a significant impact on the microbial activity of surrounding seawater. To obtain a more detailed understanding of biogeochemical cycles in this environment, the effects of coral mucus on the community structure and function of bacteria in surrounding seawater need to be elucidated. We herein used a bromodeoxyuridine approach to investigate the structures and functions of bacterial communities growing close to mucus derived from two different Acropora corals, AC1 and AC2. The alpha diversities of actively growing bacteria (AGB) were lower in mucus-containing seawater than in control seawater and their community structures significantly differed, suggesting that the growth of specific bacteria was modulated by coral mucus. Rhodobacteraceae and Cryomorphaceae species were the most dominant AGB in response to the mucus of Acropora AC1 and AC2, respectively. In contrast, the growth of Actinomarinaceae, Alteromonadaceae, Flavobacteriaceae, and SAR86 clade bacteria was inhibited by coral mucus. The results of a Phylogenetic Investigation of Communities by Reconstruction of Unobserved States (PICRUSt2) ana-lysis suggested that the predicted functions of AGB in mucus-containing seawater differed from those in seawater. These functions were related to the biosynthesis and degradation of the constituents of coral mucus, such as polysaccharides, sugar acids, and aromatic compounds. The present study demonstrated that complex bacterial community structures and functions may be shaped by coral mucus, suggesting that corals foster diverse bacterial communities that enhance the ecological resilience of this fish farming area.","PeriodicalId":18482,"journal":{"name":"Microbes and Environments","volume":"38 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10522842/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10245001","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A weighted UniFrac principal coordinate ana-lysis grouped bacterial samples into four clusters along with PC1 (43.8%), corresponding to the four sampling months in the order of sampling dates. Taxonomic ana-lyses revealed that bacterial diversity in the lateral roots was exclusively dominated by three phyla (Actinobacteria, Bacteroidetes, and Proteobacteria) in all samples examined. At the lower taxonomic levels, the dominant taxa were roughly classified into three groups. Therefore, the relative abundances of seven dominant genera (Janthinobacterium, Kribbella, Pedobacter, Rhodanobacter, Sphingobium, Sphingopyxis, and Streptomyces) were the highest in June and gradually decreased as sugar beet grew. The relative abundances of eight taxa (Bradyrhizobiaceae, Caulobacteraceae, Chitinophagaceae, Novosphingobium, Phyllobacteriaceae, Pseudomonas, Rhizobiaceae, and Sphingomonas) were mainly high in July and/or August. The relative abundances of six taxa (unclassified Comamonadaceae, Cytophagaceae, unclassified Gammaproteobacteria, Haliangiaceae, unclassified Myxococcales, and Sinobacteraceae) were the highest in September. Among the dominant taxa, 12 genera (Amycolatopsis, Bradyrhizobium, Caulobacter, Devosia, Flavobacterium, Janthinobacterium, Kribbella, Kutzneria, Pedobacter, Rhizobium, Rhodanobacter, and Steroidobacter) were considered to be candidate groups of plant growth-promoting bacteria based on their previously reported beneficial traits as biopesticides and/or biofertilizers.","PeriodicalId":18482,"journal":{"name":"Microbes and Environments","volume":"38 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10037095/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9728962","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Most isolates were obligately anaerobic, spore-forming rods and affiliated with different lineages of the genus Clostridium based on 16S rRNA gene sequences. The growth temperature ranges and physiological properties of three representative clostridial isolates (C5S7, C5S11T, and C5S18) were examined. Strain C5S7 grew at 0°C, but not at 20°C, and was identified as Clostridium estertheticum, a psychrophile isolated from spoiled, vacuum-packed, chilled meat (blown pack spoilage, BPS). Strain C5S7 produced butyrate, n-butanol, and abundant gases (H2 and CO2) as major fermentation products from the carbohydrates utilized. Strain C5S11T, which was recently described as Clostridium gelidum sp. nov., possessed psychrotrophic properties and grew at temperatures between 0 and 25°C. Strain C5S11T was saccharolytic, decomposed polysaccharides, such as inulin, pectin, and xylan, and produced acetate, butyrate, and gases. Strain C5S18 also grew at 0°C and the optimum growth temperature was 15°C. Strain C5S18 did not ferment carbohydrates and grew in a manner that was dependent on proteinaceous substrates. This strain was identified as the psychrotolerant species, Clostridium tagluense, originally isolated from a permafrost sample. Collectively, the present results indicate that psychrotrophic anaerobic bacteria with different physiological properties actively degrade organic matter in rice field soil, even in midwinter, in a cooperative manner using different substrates.

Moreover, loci with more than 50-fold increases (6 h/0‍ ‍h) were fully related to the photosynthetic gene cluster. Among 13 sigma factor genes, the transcripts of a sigma 70 family sigma factor related to RpoH (SP70) increased along photosynthesis genes under starvation; therefore, a knockout experiment of SP70 was performed. ΔSP70 mutants were found to lack photosynthetic pigments (carotenoids and bacteriochlo-rophyll a) regardless of carbon starvation. We also examined the effects of heat stress on ΔSP70 mutants, and found that SP70 was also related to heat stress tolerance, similar to other RpoH sigma factors (while heat stress did not trigger photosystem production). The deficient accumulation of photosynthetic pigments and the heat stress tolerance of ΔSP70 mutants were both complemented by the introduction of an intact SP70 gene. Furthermore, the transcription of photosynthetic gene operons (puf, puh, and bch) was markedly reduced in the ΔSP70 mutant.
