    Co-Authors: Linda Jabari, Mitsuo Sakamoto, Hana Gannoun, Jean-luc Cayol, Abdeljabbar Hedi, Enevold Falsen, Moriya Ohkuma, Moktar Hamdi, Guy Fauque, Bernard Ollivier
    Abstract:

    A novel obligately anaerobic, non-spore-forming, rod-shaped mesophilic bacterium, which stained Gram-positive but showed the typical cell wall structure of Gram-negative bacteria, was isolated from an upflow anaerobic filter treating abattoir wastewaters in Tunisia. The strain, designated LIND7HT, grew at 20–45 °C (optimum 35–40 °C) and at pH 5.0–8.5 (optimum pH 6.5–7.5). It did not require NaCl for growth, but was able to grow in the presence of up to 2 % NaCl. Sulfate, thiosulfate, elemental sulfur, sulfite, nitrate and nitrite were not used as terminal electron acceptors. Strain LIND7HT used cellobiose, glucose, lactose, mannose, maltose, peptone, rhamnose, raffinose, sucrose and xylose as electron donors. The main fermentation products from glucose metabolism were lactate, acetate, butyrate and isobutyrate. The predominant cellular fatty acids were anteiso-C15 : 0, C15 : 0, C17 : 0 2-OH and a summed feature consisting of C18 : 2ω6,9c and/or anteiso-C18 : 0, and the major menaquinones were MK-9, MK-9(H2) and MK-10. The G+C content of the genomic DNA was 41.4 mol%. Although the closest phylogenetic relatives of strain LIND7HT were Parabacteroides merdae , Parabacteroides goldsteinii and Parabacteroides gordonii , analysis of the hsp60 gene sequence showed that strain LIND7HT was not a member of the genus Parabacteroides . On the basis of phylogenetic inference and phenotypic properties, strain LIND7HT ( = CCUG 60892T = DSM 23697T = JCM 16313T) is proposed as the type strain of a novel species in a new genus within the family Porphyromonadaceae , Macellibacteroides fermentans gen. nov., sp. nov.

  • Butyricimonas synergistica gen. nov., sp. nov. and Butyricimonas virosa sp. nov., butyric acid-producing bacteria in the family 'Porphyromonadaceae' isolated from rat faeces.
    International journal of systematic and evolutionary microbiology, 2009
    Co-Authors: Mitsuo Sakamoto, Akiko Takagaki, Kohei Matsumoto, Yuko Kato, Keiichi Goto, Yoshimi Benno
    Abstract:

    Two bacterial strains, designated MT01(T) and MT12(T), isolated from rat faeces were characterized by using a polyphasic taxonomic approach that included analysis of their phenotypic and biochemical features, cellular fatty acid profiles, menaquinone profiles and phylogeny based on 16S rRNA gene sequences. The 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis showed that these strains were members of the family 'Porphyromonadaceae'. The strains shared 94 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity with each other and were related to Odoribacter splanchnicus NCTC 10825(T) (86-87 % sequence similarity). The strains consisted of obligately anaerobic, non-pigmented, non-spore-forming, non-motile, Gram-negative rods. Growth of the strains was inhibited on medium containing 20 % bile. The two strains produced significant levels of butyric and isobutyric acids as end products from glucose. Although the major cellular fatty acid of these two strains and O. splanchnicus JCM 15291(T) was iso-C(15 : 0), strains MT01(T) and MT12(T) showed a higher level of iso-C(15 : 0) (66 and 74 %, respectively) than did O. splanchnicus JCM 15291(T) (48 %). In addition, the ratios of iso-C(15 : 0) to anteiso-C(15 : 0) in whole-cell methanolysates of the two isolates were very much higher than that of O. splanchnicus JCM 15291(T). The major menaquinone of the isolates was MK-10. This menaquinone composition was different from those of other genera of the family 'Porphyromonadaceae', such as Barnesiella (predominant menaquinones: MK-11 and MK-12), Odoribacter (MK-9), Paludibacter (MK-8), Parabacteroides (MK-9 and MK-10), Porphyromonas (MK-9 and MK-10) and Tannerella (MK-10 and MK-11). Menaquinone composition is therefore an important chemotaxonomic characteristic of these micro-organisms. Strains MT01(T) and MT12(T) have DNA G+C contents of 46 mol%. On the basis of these data, strains MT01(T) and MT12(T) represent two novel species of a novel genus, for which the names Butyricimonas synergistica gen. nov., sp. nov. and Butyricimonas virosa sp. nov., respectively, are proposed. The type strains of B. synergistica and B. virosa are MT01(T) (=JCM 15148(T) =CCUG 56610(T)) and MT12(T) (=JCM 15149(T)=CCUG 56611(T)), respectively.

  • Barnesiella viscericola gen. nov., sp. nov., a novel member of the family Porphyromonadaceae isolated from chicken caecum.
    International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology, 2007
    Co-Authors: Mitsuo Sakamoto, Yoshimi Benno
    Abstract:

    Two bacterial strains isolated from chicken caecum, C46T and C47, were characterized using a polyphasic taxonomic approach that included analysis of the phenotypic and biochemical features, cellular fatty acid profiles, menaquinone profiles and phylogenetic position (using 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis). The 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis showed that these strains belonged to the family Porphyromonadaceae. These strains shared 100 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity with each other and were related to Parabacteroides distasonis (showing 86 % sequence similarity). The strains were found to be obligately anaerobic, non-pigmented, non-spore-forming, non-motile, Gram-negative rods. Growth of the strains was inhibited on medium containing 20 % bile. The major menaquinones of the isolates were MK-11 and MK-12. This menaquinone composition was different from those of other genera of the family Porphyromonadaceae, such as Parabacteroides (in which the predominant menaquinones are MK-9 and MK-10), Porphyromonas (MK-9 and MK-10) and Tannerella (MK-10 and MK-11). This is an important chemotaxonomic characteristic of these micro-organisms. The DNA G+C content of strain C46T is 52.0 mol%. On the basis of these data, strains C46T and C47 represent a novel genus and species, for which the name Barnesiella viscericola gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of Barnesiella viscericola is C46T (=JCM 13660T=DSM 18177T).

  • Impact of a Model Used to Simulate Chronic Socio-Environmental Stressors Encountered during Spaceflight on Murine Intestinal Microbiota
    International journal of molecular sciences, 2020
    Co-Authors: Corentine Alauzet, Lisiane Cunat, Maxime Wack, Laurence Lanfumey, Christine Legrand-frossi, Alain Lozniewski, Nelly Agrinier, Catherine Cailliez-grimal, Jean-pol Frippiat
    Abstract:

    During deep-space travels, crewmembers face various physical and psychosocial stressors that could alter gut microbiota composition. Since it is well known that intestinal dysbiosis is involved in the onset or exacerbation of several disorders, the aim of this study was to evaluate changes in intestinal microbiota in a murine model used to mimic chronic psychosocial stressors encountered during a long-term space mission. We demonstrate that 3 weeks of exposure to this model (called CUMS for Chronic Unpredictable Mild Stress) induce significant change in intracaecal β-diversity characterized by an important increase of the Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes ratio. These alterations are associated with a decrease of Porphyromonadaceae, particularly of the genus Barnesiella, a major member of gut microbiota in mice and humans where it is described as having protective properties. These results raise the question of the impact of stress-induced decrease of beneficial taxa, support recent data deduced from in-flight experimentations and other ground-based models, and emphasize the critical need for further studies exploring the impact of spaceflight on intestinal microbiota in order to propose strategies to countermeasure spaceflight-associated dysbiosis and its consequences on health.

    Abstract:

    The identification of human-associated bacteria is very important to control infectious diseases. In recent years, we diversified culture conditions in a strategy named culturomics, and isolated more than 100 new bacterial species and/or genera. Using this strategy, strain GM7, a strictly anaerobic gram-negative bacterium was recently isolated from a stool specimen of a healthy Gabonese patient. It is a motile coccobacillus without catalase and oxidase activities. The genome of Gabonibacter massiliensis is 3,397,022 bp long with 2880 ORFs and a G+C content of 42.09 %. Of the predicted genes, 2,819 are protein-coding genes, and 61 are RNAs. Strain GM7 differs from the closest genera within the family Porphyromonadaceae both genotypically and in shape and motility. Thus, we propose that strain GM7T (=CSUR P2336 = DSM 101039) is the type strain of the new genus Gabonibacter gen. nov. and the new species G. massiliensis gen. nov., sp. nov.
