Opacimonas immobilis sp. nov., a novel non-flagellated Alteromonadaceae species with the smallest genome isolated from the phycosphere of the diatom Actinocyclus curvatulus.
A bacterial strain LMIT016T, characterized as Gram-stain-negative, oval shaped, aerobic and non-motile, was isolated from the phycosphere of the diatom Actinocyclus curvatulus. Both the phylogenetic tree constructed from 16S rRNA gene sequences and the phylogenomic analysis using GTDB-Tk revealed that strain LMIT016T was closely related to O. viscosa LMIT007T (96.08% of 16S rRNA gene sequence identity). Strain LMIT016T and related type species in the family exhibited average nucleotide identity values ranging from 76.37 to 79.96%, with digital DNA-DNA hybridization values below 30.0%, confirming that they represent different species. Notably, strain LMIT016T possesses the smallest genome (2.53 Mbp) among Alteromonadaceae family, completely lacking genes related to flagellar assembly and chemotaxis. However, comparative genomic analysis revealed that it kept adaptive functions for phycosphere lifestyle, such as biofilm formation, carbohydrate metabolism, and vitamin and carotenoid synthesis. Further, strain LMIT016T exhibited optimal growth under conditions of 1.0-5.0% NaCl, pH 6-10, and temperatures between 20 and 35 ℃. The major respiratory quinone was ubiquinone-8. The major fatty acids (> 10%) were identified as C16:1ω7c/C16:1ω6c (32.4%), C16:0 (17.3%) and C18:1ω7c/C18:1ω6c (31.0%), while the major polar lipids comprised phosphatidylethanolamine, aminophospholipid and phosphatidylglycerol. These findings, combined with the phylogenetic and genotypic features, confirmed that strain LMIT016T represented a novel species in the genus Opacimonas, for which the name Opacimonas immobilis sp. nov. was proposed, with type strain LMIT016T (= KCTC 92596 T = MCCC 1K08254T). The identification of this strain enriches the understanding of microbial diversity within the genus Opacimonas and highlights the specialized bacterial evolution for inhabiting the phycosphere.
期刊介绍:
Research papers must make a significant and original contribution to
microbiology and be of interest to a broad readership. The results of any
experimental approach that meets these objectives are welcome, particularly
biochemical, molecular genetic, physiological, and/or physical investigations into
microbial cells and their interactions with their environments, including their eukaryotic hosts.
Mini-reviews in areas of special topical interest and papers on medical microbiology, ecology and systematics, including description of novel taxa, are also published.
Theoretical papers and those that report on the analysis or ''mining'' of data are
acceptable in principle if new information, interpretations, or hypotheses
emerge.
