  • Halobacillus yeomjeoni sp. nov., isolated from a marine solar saltern in Korea.
    International journal of systematic and evolutionary microbiology, 2020
    Co-Authors: Junghoon Yoon, So Jung Kang, Hyun Woo Oh, Tae Kwang Oh
    Abstract:

    A Gram-positive or Gram-variable, motile, endospore-forming, halophilic bacterial strain, MSS-402T, was isolated from a marine solar saltern in Korea, and subjected to a polyphasic taxonomic study. Some cells of strain MSS-402T were long filamentous rods. The isolate grew optimally at 37 degrees C and in the presence of 3-5 % (w/v) NaCl. Strain MSS-402T had cell-wall peptidoglycan based on l-orn-d-Asp, MK-7 as the predominant menaquinone and anteiso-C(15 : 0), anteiso-C(17 : 0) and iso-C(16 : 0) as major fatty acids. The DNA G+C content was 42.9 mol%. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain MSS-402T falls within the evolutionary radiation of species of the genus Halobacillus. Levels of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity between strain MSS-402T and the type strains of recognized Halobacillus species ranged from 98.0 % (with Halobacillus halophilus) to 99.2 % (with Halobacillus litoralis and Halobacillus trueperi). Levels of DNA-DNA binding indicated that strain MSS-402T represents a genomic species that is distinct from recognized Halobacillus species. Strain MSS-402T was differentiated from Halobacillus species by means of several phenotypic characteristics. On the basis of its phenotypic properties and phylogenetic and genetic distinctiveness, strain MSS-402T (=KCTC 3957T=DSM 17110T) should be classified as the type strain of a novel Halobacillus species, for which the name Halobacillus yeomjeoni sp. nov. is proposed.

  • Halobacillus campisalis sp. nov., containing meso-diaminopimelic acid in the cell-wall peptidoglycan, and emended description of the genus Halobacillus.
    International journal of systematic and evolutionary microbiology, 2020
    Co-Authors: Junghoon Yoon, So Jung Kang, Yong Taek Jung, Tae Kwang Oh
    Abstract:

    A Gram-positive or variable, motile and coccoid or oval-shaped bacterial strain, ASL-17(T), was isolated from a marine solar saltern of the Yellow Sea in Korea and its exact taxonomic position was investigated by a polyphasic approach. Strain ASL-17(T) grew optimally at pH 7.0-8.0 and 37 degrees C. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain ASL-17(T) is most closely affiliated phylogenetically to the genus Halobacillus. Strain ASL-17(T) exhibited 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity values of 97.7-98.6 % to the type strains of recognized Halobacillus species. Interestingly, strain ASL-17(T) had cell-wall peptidoglycan based on meso-diaminopimelic acid, unlike other Halobacillus species. It contained MK-7 as the predominant menaquinone. The major fatty acids were anteiso-C(15 : 0), anteiso-C(17 : 0) and iso-C(16 : 0). The DNA G+C content was 42.1 mol%. DNA-DNA relatedness data and differential phenotypic properties demonstrated that strain ASL-17(T) can be differentiated from recognized Halobacillus species. On the basis of phenotypic, chemotaxonomic, phylogenetic and genetic data, strain ASL-17(T) represents a novel species of the genus Halobacillus, for which the name Halobacillus campisalis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is ASL-17(T) (=KCTC 13144(T) =CCUG 54360(T)).

    Co-Authors: Junghoon Yoon, So Jung Kang, Tae Kwang Oh
    Abstract:

    A Gram-positive or Gram-variable, motile, moderately halophilic, rod-shaped bacterial strain, ISL-50(T), was isolated from a marine solar saltern in Korea and subjected to a polyphasic taxonomic study. Strain ISL-50(T) grew optimally at pH 7.0-8.0 and 37 degrees C in the presence of 8 % (w/v) NaCl. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain ISL-50(T) belonged to the genus Halobacillus. Strain ISL-50(T) exhibited 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity values of 95.3-98.2 % with respect to the type strains of recognized Halobacillus species. The cell-wall peptidoglycan was based on meso-diaminopimelic acid, the predominant menaquinone was MK-7 and the major fatty acids were anteiso-C(15 : 0) and anteiso-C(17 : 0). The DNA G+C content was 39.3 mol%. DNA-DNA relatedness data and differential phenotypic properties revealed that strain ISL-50(T) was distinguishable from the recognized Halobacillus species. On the basis of phenotypic, chemotaxonomic, phylogenetic and genetic data, strain ISL-50(T) represents a novel species of the genus Halobacillus, for which the name Halobacillus seohaensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is ISL-50(T) (=KCTC 13145(T)=CCUG 54358(T)).

  • Characterization of a Functionally Unknown Arginine–Aspartate–Aspartate Family Protein From Halobacillus andaensis and Functional Analysis of Its Conserved Arginine/Aspartate Residues
    Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018
    Co-Authors: Li Shao, Heba Abdel-motaal, Huiwen Chen, Zhenglai Zhang, Fankui Meng, Lin Meng, Tong Xu, Jin Chen, Juquan Jiang
    Abstract:

    Arginine-aspartate-aspartate (RDD) family representing a category of transmembrane proteins containing one highly conserved arginine and two highly conserved aspartates has been functionally uncharacterized as yet. Here we present the characterization of a member of this family designated RDD from the moderate halophile Halobacillus andaensis NEAU-ST10-40T and report for the first time that RDD should function as a novel Na+(Li+, K+)/H+ antiporter. It's more interesting whether the highly conserved arginine/aspartate residues among the whole family or between RDD and its selected homologs are related to the protein function. Therefore, we analyzed their roles in the cation-transporting activity through site-directed mutagenesis and found that D154, R124, R129 and D158 are indispensable for Na+(Li+, K+)/H+ antiport activity whereas neither R35 nor D42 is involved in Na+(Li+, K+)/H+ antiport activity. As a dual representative of Na+(Li+, K+)/H+ antiporters and RDD family proteins, the characterization of RDD and analysis of its important residues will positively contribute to the knowledge of the cation-transporting mechanisms of this novel antiporter and the roles of highly conserved arginine/aspartate residues in the functions of RDD family proteins.

    International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology, 2015
    Co-Authors: Kaibiao Wang, Lin Meng, Lei Zhang, Yang Yang, Shan Hong, Haipeng Huang, Juquan Jiang
    Abstract:

    A Gram-stain-positive, endospore-forming, moderately halophilic bacterial strain, NEAU-ST10-40T, was isolated from a saline and alkaline soil in Anda City, China. It was strictly aerobic, rod-shaped and motile by peritrichous flagella. It formed light yellow colonies and grew at NaCl concentrations of 3–15 % (w/v) (optimum, 8 %, w/v), at pH 7.0–9.0 (optimum, pH 8.0) and at 4–60 °C (optimum, 30 °C). It contained meso-diaminopimelic acid in the cell-wall peptidoglycan. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that it belonged to the genus Halobacillus. Levels of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity between strain NEAU-ST10-40T and the type strains of related species of the genus Halobacillus ranged from 98.8 % (Halobacillus alkaliphilus FP5T) to 97.1 % (Halobacillus kuroshimensis IS-Hb7T). DNA–DNA hybridization relatedness values between strain NEAU-ST10-40T and H. alkaliphilus DSM 18525T, Halobacillus campisalis KCTC 13144T, Halobacillus yeomjeoni DSM 17110T, Halobacillus halophilus DSM 2266T, Halobacillus litoralis DSM 10405T, Halobacillus dabanensis DSM 18199T, Halobacillus salinus DSM 18897T, Halobacillus naozhouensis DSM 21183T, Halobacillus trueperi DSM 10404T and Halobacillus salsuginis DSM 21185T were from 43 ± 1 to 19 ± 1 % (mean ± sd). The DNA G+C content was 39.3 mol%. The major fatty acids (>10 %) were anteiso-C15:0, anteiso-C17:0 and iso-C16:0, the only respiratory quinone detected was MK-7, and polar lipids consisted of diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, two unknown phospholipids and three unknown lipids. On the basis of the data presented, strain NEAU-ST10-40T is considered to represent a novel species, for which the name Halobacillus andaensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is NEAU-ST10-40T ( = CGMCC 1.12153T = DSM 25866T).

  • a primary sodium pump gene of the moderate halophile Halobacillus dabanensis exhibits secondary antiporter properties
    Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 2006
    Co-Authors: Juquan Jiang, Baisuo Zhao, Lei Wang, Bo Zhang, Li Fu Yang, Susheng Yang
    Abstract:

    Abstract The primary sodium pump has been proved to be involved in Na + extrusion of bacteria. In our present study, a novel gene encoding a putative primary sodium pump was cloned from chromosomal DNA of moderate halophile Halobacillus dabanensis D-8 by functional complementation, which expression resulted in the growth of antiporter-deficient Escherichia coli strain KNabc in the presence of 0.2 M NaCl. The gene was sequenced and designated nap . The deduced amino acid sequence of Nap has 56% identity to NADH dehydrogenase of Bacillus cereus and 55% to NADH oxidase of Bacillus halodurans C-125. E. coli KNabc carrying nap exhibited resistance to uncoupler CCCP (carbonyl-cyanide m -chlorophenylhydrazone). Everted membrane vesicles prepared from E. coli KNabc carrying nap exhibited secondary Na + /H + antiporter activity, and nap also supported the growth of respiratory-deficient E. coli ANN0222 lacking NADH dehydrogenase. Based on these results, we proposed that Nap possessed both characteristics of secondary Na + /H + antiporter and primary sodium pump.

  • a na h antiporter gene of the moderately halophilic bacterium Halobacillus dabanensis d 8t cloning and molecular characterization
    Fems Microbiology Letters, 2006
    Co-Authors: Juquan Jiang, Weidong Lu, Baisuo Zhao, Deqin Feng, Lei Wang, Bo Zhang, Li Fu Yang, Susheng Yang
    Abstract:

    A gene encoding a Na+/H+ antiporter was cloned from a chromosomal DNA of Halobacillus dabanensis strain D-8T by functional complementation. Its presence enabled the antiporter-deficient Escherichia coli strain KNabc to survive in the presence of 0.2 M NaCl or 5 mM LiCl. The gene was sequenced and designated as nhaH . The deduced amino-acid sequence of NhaH consists of 403 residues with a calculated molecular mass of 43 481 Da, which was 54% identical and 76% similar to the NhaG Na+/H+ antiporter of Bacillus subtilis . The hydropathy profile was characteristic of a membrane protein with 12 putative transmembrane domains. Everted membrane vesicles prepared from E. coli cells carrying nhaH exhibited Na+/H+ as well as Li+/H+ antiporter activity, which was pH-dependent with highest activities at pH 8.5–9.0 and at pH 8.5, respectively. Moreover, nhaH confers upon E. coli KNabc cells the ability to grow under alkaline conditions.

    Abstract:

    A Gram-positive, rod-shaped, endospore-forming, halophilic bacterium (strain HSL-3(T)) was isolated from a salt lake near Hwajinpo beach on the East Sea in Korea and was subjected to a polyphasic taxonomic study. Strain HSL-3(T) grew optimally in the presence of 2-10% (w/v) NaCl. Strain HSL-3(T) showed poor growth in the absence of NaCl and grew in the presence of less than 23% NaCl. The cell wall peptidoglycan type of strain HSL-3(T) was A4beta based on L-Orn-D-Asp. The predominant menaquinone found in strain HSL-3(T) was menaquinone-7 (MK-7). Strain HSL-3(T) had a cellular fatty acid profile containing large amounts of branched fatty acids; the major fatty acids were anteiso-C(15 : 0), iso-C(15 : 0) and iso-C(16 : 0). The DNA G + C content of strain HSL-3(T) was 45 mol%. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rDNA sequences showed that strain HSL-3(T) falls within the radiation of the cluster comprising Halobacillus species. Strain HSL-3(T) exhibited levels of 16S rDNA similarity of 97.4-98.4% to the type strains of Halobacillus species. Levels of DNA-DNA relatedness between strain HSL-3(T) and the type strains of all validly named Halobacillus species were in the range 7.3-9.2%. On the basis of phenotypic and phylogenetic data and the genomic distinctiveness, strain HSL-3(T) (= KCCM 41590(T) = JCM 11546(T)) should be placed in the genus Halobacillus as the type strain of a novel species, for which the name Halobacillus salinus sp. nov. is proposed.
