  • rhodanobacter caeni sp nov isolated from sludge from a Sewage Disposal plant
    International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology, 2012
    Co-Authors: Sunggeun Woo, Sathiyaraj Srinivasan, Myung Kyum Kim, Myungjin Lee
    Abstract:

    Two Gram-reaction-negative, motile bacteria, designated strains MJ01T and MJ14, were isolated from sludge collected from the Daejeon Sewage Disposal plant in South Korea. The taxonomic positions of both strains were determined using a polyphasic approach. In phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences, strains MJ01T and MJ14 appeared indistinguishable and to be most closely related to members of the genus Rhodanobacter in the family Xanthomonadaceae of the Gammaproteobacteria (96.4–98.8 % sequence similarity). Strain MJ01T exhibited a relatively high level of DNA–DNA relatedness with strain MJ14 (89.3 %) but relatively low DNA–DNA relatedness values with established species in the genus Rhodanobacter (<60 %). The genomic DNA G+C contents of strains MJ01T and MJ14 were 65.3 and 64.8 mol%, respectively. The major respiratory quinone of both novel strains was the ubiquinone Q-8. The major fatty acids of both strains were iso-C15 : 0, iso-C16 : 0, iso-C17 : 0 and iso-C17 : 1ω9c, and the polar lipid profiles of the two strains contained diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine and minor amounts of unidentified aminophospholipids and phospholipids. Based on the phenotypic, genotypic and phylogenetic evidence, strains MJ01T and MJ14 represent a single novel species in the genus Rhodanobacter , for which the name Rhodanobacter caeni sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is MJ01T ( = KCTC 22449T = JCM 16242T), with MJ14 ( = KCTC 22460 = JCM 16243) as a reference strain.

    Co-Authors: Sathiyaraj Srinivasan, Myung Kyum Kim, Giho Park, Hyejin Yang, Supyong Hwang, Yoonjung Bae, Yongan Jung, Myungjin Lee
    Abstract:

    A Gram-stain-positive, strictly aerobic, short-rod-shaped, non-motile strain (designated MJ32(T)) was isolated from a sludge sample of the Daejeon Sewage Disposal plant in South Korea. A polyphasic approach was applied to study the taxonomic position of strain MJ32(T). Strain MJ32(T) showed highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity to Gordonia hirsuta DSM 44140(T) (98.1%) and Gordonia hydrophobica DSM 44015(T) (97.0%); levels of sequence similarity to the type strains of other recognized Gordonia species were less than 97.0%. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain MJ32(T) belonged to the clade formed by members of the genus Gordonia in the family Gordoniaceae. The G+C content of the genomic DNA of strain MJ32(T) was 69.2 mol%. Chemotaxonomically, strain MJ32(T) showed features typical of the genus Gordonia. The predominant respiratory quinone was MK-9(H(2)), the mycolic acids present had C(56)-C(60) carbon atoms, and the major fatty acids were C(16:0) (34.6%), tuberculostearic acid (21.8%), C(16:1)ω7c (19.5%) and C(18:1)ω9c (12.7%). The peptidoglycan type was based on meso-2,6-diaminopimelic acid as the diagnostic diamino acid with glycolated sugars. On the basis of phylogenetic inference, fatty acid profile and other phenotypic properties, strain MJ32(T) is considered to represent a novel species of the genus Gordonia, for which the name Gordonia caeni sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is MJ32(T) (=KCTC 19771(T)=JCM 16923(T)).

  • nocardioides daejeonensis sp nov a denitrifying bacterium isolated from sludge in a Sewage Disposal plant

    Abstract:

    Strain MJ31T, a Gram-reaction-positive, aerobic, rod-shaped, non-motile bacterium, was isolated from a sludge sample collected at the Daejeon Sewage-Disposal plant, in South Korea, and characterized in order to determine its taxonomic position. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strain MJ31T belonged to the genus Nocardioides , appearing most closely related to Nocardioides dubius KSL-104T (98.6 % sequence similarity), Nocardioides jensenii DSM 20641T (97.6 %), Nocardioides daedukensis MDN22T (97.2 %) and Nocardioides mesophilus MSL-22T (97.0 %). The chemotaxonomic properties of strain MJ31T were consistent with those of the genus Nocardioides : MK-8(H4) was the predominant menaquinone, iso-C16 : 0, iso-C17 : 0 and C18 : 1ω9c were the predominant cellular fatty acids, and the cell-wall peptidoglycan was based on ll-2,6-diaminopimelic acid. The genomic DNA G+C content of strain MJ31T was 71.2 mol%. Some differential phenotypic properties and low DNA–DNA relatedness values (<28 %) with the type strains of closely related species indicated that strain MJ31T represents a novel species, for which the name Nocardioides daejeonensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is MJ31T ( = KCTC 19772T = JCM 16922T).

    Abstract:

    A Gram-stain-positive, strictly aerobic, spherical, non-motile red-pigmented bacterial strain, designated MJ27T, was isolated from a sludge sample of the Daejeon Sewage Disposal plant in South Korea. A polyphasic approach was used to study the taxonomic position of strain MJ27T. Strain MJ27T shared highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity with Deinococcus grandis DSM 3963T (98.8 %), Deinococcus caeni Ho-08T (97.5 %) and Deinococcus aquaticus PB314T (96.6 %.); levels of sequence similarity with the type strains of other Deinococcus species were less than 96.0 %. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain MJ27T belonged to the clade formed by members of the genus Deinococcus in the family Deinococcaceae . The G+C content of the genomic DNA of strain MJ27T was 67.6 mol%. The chemotaxonomic characteristics of strain MJ27T were typical of members of the genus Deinococcus , with MK-8 as the predominant respiratory quinone, C16 : 1ω7c, C15 : 1ω6c, C16 : 0 and C15 : 0 as major fatty acids (>12 %), ornithine as the diamino acid in the cell-wall peptidoglycan and resistance to gamma radiation [D10 (dose required to reduce the bacterial population by tenfold) >9 kGy]. The low levels of DNA–DNA relatedness reported here (5.3±1.5–29.2±2.3 %) indicate that strain MJ27T represents a species that is separate from its closest relatives in the genus Deinococcus . On the basis of phylogenetic inference, fatty acid profile and other phenotypic properties, strain MJ27T is considered to represent a novel species of the genus Deinococcus , for which the name Deinococcus daejeonensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is MJ27T ( = KCTC 13751T = JCM 16918T).

Strain MJ01T exhibited a relatively high level of DNA–DNA relatedness with strain MJ14 (89.3 %) but relatively low DNA–DNA relatedness values with established species in the genus Rhodanobacter (<60 %). The genomic DNA G+C contents of strains MJ01T and MJ14 were 65.3 and 64.8 mol%, respectively. The major respiratory quinone of both novel strains was the ubiquinone Q-8. The major fatty acids of both strains were iso-C15 : 0, iso-C16 : 0, iso-C17 : 0 and iso-C17 : 1ω9c, and the polar lipid profiles of the two strains contained diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine and minor amounts of unidentified aminophospholipids and phospholipids. Based on the phenotypic, genotypic and phylogenetic evidence, strains MJ01T and MJ14 represent a single novel species in the genus Rhodanobacter , for which the name Rhodanobacter caeni sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is MJ01T ( = KCTC 22449T = JCM 16242T), with MJ14 ( = KCTC 22460 = JCM 16243) as a reference strain.

    Abstract:

    Strain MJ31T, a Gram-reaction-positive, aerobic, rod-shaped, non-motile bacterium, was isolated from a sludge sample collected at the Daejeon Sewage-Disposal plant, in South Korea, and characterized in order to determine its taxonomic position. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strain MJ31T belonged to the genus Nocardioides , appearing most closely related to Nocardioides dubius KSL-104T (98.6 % sequence similarity), Nocardioides jensenii DSM 20641T (97.6 %), Nocardioides daedukensis MDN22T (97.2 %) and Nocardioides mesophilus MSL-22T (97.0 %). The chemotaxonomic properties of strain MJ31T were consistent with those of the genus Nocardioides : MK-8(H4) was the predominant menaquinone, iso-C16 : 0, iso-C17 : 0 and C18 : 1ω9c were the predominant cellular fatty acids, and the cell-wall peptidoglycan was based on ll-2,6-diaminopimelic acid. The genomic DNA G+C content of strain MJ31T was 71.2 mol%. Some differential phenotypic properties and low DNA–DNA relatedness values (<28 %) with the type strains of closely related species indicated that strain MJ31T represents a novel species, for which the name Nocardioides daejeonensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is MJ31T ( = KCTC 19772T = JCM 16922T).

  • characterization of an alkaline lipase from proteus vulgaris k80 and the dna sequence of the encoding gene
    Fems Microbiology Letters, 1996
    Co-Authors: Hyung Kwoun Kim, Jung Kee Lee, Hyoung Man Kim
    Abstract:

    A facultatively anaerobic bacterium producing an extracellular alkaline lipase was isolated from the soil collected near a Sewage Disposal plant in Korea and identified to be a strain of Proteus vulgaris. The molecular mass of the purified lipase K80 was estimated to be 31 kDa by SDS-PAGE. It was found to be an alkaline enzyme having maximum hydrolytid activity at pH 10, while fairly stable in a wide pH range from 5 to 11. The gene for lipase K80 was cloned in Escherichia coli. Sequence analysis showed an open reading frame of 861 bp coding for a polypeptide of 287 amino acid residues. The deduced amino acid sequence of the lipase gene had 46.3% identity to the lipase from Pseudomonas fragi.
