In the course of natural modification of the latex yeast diversity increased, while yeast abundance decreased. The yeasts of thickened and solidified latex were represented by typical epiphytic and ubiquitous species: Kodamea ohmeri, Debaryomyces hansenii, Rhodotorula mucilaginosa, and synanthropic species Candida parapsilosis and Cutaneotrichosporon arbori- formis.

All isolates belonged to the T barophilus-T paralvi- .nellae group within the genus Thermococcus. In all cases available for analysis, the genomes of Thermococcus strains capable of growth by hydrogenogenic utilization of CO and/or formate contained clusters of genes en- coding energy-converting hydrogenase and either CO dehydrogenase or formate dehydrogenase and formate transporter. Apart from the previously known processes of hydrogenogenic oxidation of CO and formate, the oxidation of these substrates coupled to sulfur reduction was observed, processes previously unknown among archaea. The capacities for hydrogenogenic or sulfidogenic oxidation of CO and formate occurred in the studied strains in all possible combinations, which could only in part be explained by peculiarities of organi- zation of genetic determinants revealed in the genomes. Investigation of CO and formate consumption kinet- ics revealed that T barophilus strain Ch5 was able to grow at concentrations close to the environmental ones. Thus, it was shown that hyperthermophilic archaea from deep-sea hydrothermal vents are able to utilize one- carbon substrates of abiotic origin both in the presence of an electron acceptor (sulfur) and in its absence. These processes were probably of importance under the conditions of the early Earth biosphere.</p>","PeriodicalId":18732,"journal":{"name":"Mikrobiologiia","volume":"85 4","pages":"381-392"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"35309964","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Extreme conditions limit microbial diversity in- such ecosystems. A drainage water microbial community (6.5'C, pH 2.65) in an open pit at the Sherlovaya Gora polymetallic open-cast mine (Transbaikal region, Eastern Siberia, Russia) was studied using metagenomic techniques. Metagenome sequencing provided information for taxonomic and functional characterization of the micro- bial community. The majority of microorganisms belonged to a single uncultured lineage representing a new Betaproteobacteria species of the genus Gallionella. While no.acidophiles are known among the cultured members of the family Gallionellaceae, similar 16S rRNA gene sequences were detected in acid mine drain- ages. Bacteria ofthe genera Thiobacillus, Acidobacterium, Acidisphaera, and Acidithiobacillus,-which are com- mon in acid mine drainage environments, were the minor components of the community. Metagenomic data were -used to determine the almost complete (-3.4 Mb) composite genome of the new bacterial. lineage desig- nated Candidatus Gallionella acididurans ShG14-8. Genome analysis revealed that Fe(II) oxidation probably involved the cytochromes localized on the outer membrane of the cell. The electron transport chain included NADH dehydrogenase, a cytochrome bc1 complex, an alternative complex III, and cytochrome oxidases of the bd, cbb3, and bo3 types. Oxidation of reduced sulfur compounds probably involved the Sox system, sul- fide-quinone oxidoreductase, adenyl sulfate reductase, and sulfate adenyltransferase. The genes required for autotrophic carbon assimilation via the Calvin cycle were present, while no pathway for nitrogen fixation was revealed. High numbers of RND metal transporters and P type ATPases were probably responsible for resis- tance to heavy metals.

Under illumination of 1200 and 500 lx, the complexes B800-850 and B800-840 and B800-820 were assembled. While rhodopine was the major carotenoid in all spectral types of the LH2 complex, a certain- increase in the content of carotenoids with higher numbers of conjugated double bonds (anhydrorhodovibrin and didehydrorhodovibrin) was observed in the B800-820 complex. At 1200 lx, the cells grew slowly at diphe- nylamine (DPA) concentrations not exceeding 53 .iM, while at illumination intensity decreased to 500 Ix they could grow at 71 jiM DPA (DPA cells). Independent on illumination level, the inhibitor is supposed to impair the functioning of phytoine synthetase (resulting in a decrease in the total carotenoid content) and of phyto- ine desturase, which results in formation of neurosporene hydroxy derivatives and ;-carotene. In the cells grown at 500 lx, small amounts of spheroidene and.OH-spheroidene were detected. These carotenoids were originally found under conditions of carotenoid synthesis inhibition in bacteria with spirilloxanthin as the major carotenoid. Carotenoid content in the LH2 complexes isolated from the DPA cells was -15% of the control (without inhibition) for the B800-850 and -20%of the control for the B800-820 and B800-840 DPA complexes. Compared to the DPA pigment-containing membranes, the DPA complexes were enriched with -carotenoids due to- disintegration of some carotenoid-free complexes in the course of isolation. These results support the supposition that some of the B800-820, B800-840, and B800-850 complexes may be Assembled in the cells of Alc. vinosum ATCC 17899 without carotenoids.

Radioisotope analysis with 35S-Iabeled sulfate was used to determine the rates of dissimilatory sulfate reduction in acidic thermal springs of Kamchatka, Russia. Sulfate reduction rates were found to vary from 0.054 to 12.9 nmol S04/(cm3 day). The Neftyanaya ploshchadka spring (Uzon caldera, 60'C, pH 4.2) and Oreshek spring (Mutnovskii volcano, 91'C, pH 3.5) exhibited the highest activity of sulfate-reducing prokaryotes.

RF of all yeasts were shown to be of peptide nature; the active component of the S. cerevisiae RF was identified as a combination of low-molecular polypeptides with molecular masses of 0.6 to 1.5 kDa. The protective and reactivating effects of the yeast factors were not species-specific and were similar to those of the Luteococcusjaponicus subsp. casei R. In BS-treated cells of the tester bacteria, a pro- tective effect was observed after 10-min preincubation of the LAB cell suspension with yeast RE: the number of surviving cells (CFU) was 2 to 4.5 times higher than in the control. The reactivating effect was observed when RF was added to LAB cell suspensions not later than 15 min after stress treatment. It was less pro- nounced than the protector effect, with the CFU number I to 3 times that of the control. Both the protector and the reactivating effects were most pronounced in the S. cerevisiae and decreased in the row: C. utilis > K. lactis > Y lipolytica. The efficiency of protective action of yeast RF was found to depend on the properties of recepient LAB cells, with the L. casei strain being most sensitive to BS treatment. In both variants, the highest protective effect of RF (increase in the CFU number) was observed for L. acidophilus, while the least pronounced one, for L. casei.
