The threat of antibiotic-resistant bacteria is increasing worldwide.
Bacteria utilize persistence and resistance to survive
antibiotic stress. For a long time, persistence has been studied
only under laboratory conditions. Hence, studies of bacterial
persistence are limited. Recently, however, the high incidence
of infection relapses caused by persister cells in immunocompromised
patients has emphasized the importance of persister
research. Furthermore, persister pathogens are one of
the causes of chronic infectious diseases, leading to the overuse
of antibiotics and the emergence of antibiotic-resistant
bacteria. Therefore, understanding the precise mechanism of
persister formation is important for continued use of available
antibiotics. In this review, we aimed to provide an overview
of the persister studies published to date and the current
knowledge of persister formation mechanisms. Recent
studies of the features and mechanisms of persister formation
are analyzed from the perspective of the nature of the
persister cell.

A Gram-stain-positive, rod-shaped, non-endospore-forming,
motile by means of peritrichous flagella, facultatively anaerobic
bacterium designated TI45-13arT was isolated from Nuruk,
a Korean traditional Makgeolli fermentation starter. It grew
at 4–35°C (optimum, 28–30°C), pH 5.0–9.0 (optimum, pH
7.0) and NaCl concentrations up to 5% (w/v). Phylogenetic
trees generated using 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that
strain TI45-13arT belonged to the genus Paenibacillus and
showed the highest sequence similarities with Paenibacillus
kyungheensis DCY88T (98.5%), Paenibacillus hordei RH-N24T
(98.4%) and Paenibacillus nicotianae YIM h-19T (98.1%). The
major fatty acid was anteiso-C15:0. The DNA G+C content
was 39.0 mol%, and MK-7 was the predominant isoprenoid
quinone. The polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol,
phosphatidylethanolamine, three unidentified
glycolipids, and one unidentified aminoglycolipid. The
cell-wall peptidoglycan contained meso-diaminopimelic acid.
On the basis of polyphasic taxonomy study, it was suggested
that strain TI45-13arT represents a novel species within the genus
Paenibacillus for which the name Paenibacillus nuruki
sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain was TI45-13arT (= KACC
18728T = NBRC 112013T).

Fungus-growing ants share a complex symbiosis with microbes,
including fungal mutualists, antibiotic-producing bacteria,
and fungal pathogens. The bacterial communities associated
with this symbiosis are poorly understood but likely
play important roles in maintaining the health and function
of fungal gardens. We studied bacterial communities in gardens
of two Apterostigma species, A. dentigerum, and A. pilosum,
using next-generation sequencing to evaluate differences
between the two ant species, their veiled and no-veiled
fungal garden types, and across three collection locations.
We also compared different parts of nests to test for homogeneity
within nests. Enterobacteriaceae dominated gardens
of both species and common OTUs were shared across both
species and nest types. However, differences in community
diversity were detected between ant species, and in the communities
of A. dentigerum veiled and no-veiled nests within
sites. Apterostigma pilosum had a higher proportion of Phyllobacteriaceae
and differed from A. dentigerum in the proportions
of members of the order Clostridiales. Within A. dentigerum,
nests with veiled and no-veiled fungus gardens had
similar taxonomic profiles but differed in the relative abundance
of some groups, with veiled gardens having more Rhodospirillaceae
and Hyphomicrobiaceae, and no-veiled having
more Xanthomonadaceae and certain genera in the Enterobacteriaceae
C. However, bacterial communities in Apterostigma
fungal gardens are highly conserved and resemble
those of the nests of other attine ants with dominant taxa likely
playing a role in biomass degradation and defense. Further
work is required to understand and explain how bacterial
community composition of fungus-growing nests is maintained.

Recent work suggests that microbial community composition
in high-elevation lakes is significantly influenced by microbes
entering from upstream terrestrial and aquatic habitats.
To test this idea, we conducted 18S and 16S rDNA surveys of
microbial communities in a high-alpine lake in the Colorado
Rocky Mountains. We compared the microbial community
of the lake to water entering the lake and to uphill soils that
drain into the lake. Utilizing hydrological and abiotic data,
we identified potential factors controlling microbial diversity
and community composition. Results show a diverse community
entering the lake at the inlet with a strong resemblance
to uphill terrestrial and aquatic communities. In contrast, the
lake communities (water column and outlet) showed significantly
lower diversity and were significantly different from
the inlet communities. Assumptions of neutral community
assembly poorly predicted community differences between
the inlet and lake, whereas “variable selection” and “dispersal
limitation” were predicted to dominate. Similarly, the lake
communities were correlated with discharge rate, indicating
that longer hydraulic residence times limit dispersal, allowing
selective pressures within the lake to structure communities.
Sulfate and inorganic nitrogen and phosphorus concentrations
correlated with community composition, indicating
“bottom up” controls on lake community assembly. Furthermore,
bacterial community composition was correlated
with both zooplankton density and eukaryotic community
composition, indicating biotic controls such as “top-down”
interactions also contribute to community assembly in the
lake. Taken together, these community analyses suggest that
deterministic biotic and abiotic selection within the lake coupled
with dispersal limitation structures the microbial communities
in Green Lake 4.

Lignocellulose composed of complex carbohydrates and aromatic
heteropolymers is one of the principal materials for
the production of renewable biofuels. Lignocellulose-degrading
genes from cold-adapted bacteria have a potential to increase
the productivity of biological treatment of lignocellulose
biomass by providing a broad range of treatment temperatures.
Antarctic soil metagenomes allow to access novel
genes encoding for the cold-active lignocellulose-degrading
enzymes, for biotechnological and industrial applications.
Here, we investigated the metagenome targeting cold-adapted
microbes in Antarctic organic matter-rich soil (KS 2-1) to
mine lignolytic and celluloytic enzymes by performing single
molecule, real-time metagenomic (SMRT) sequencing. In the
assembled Antarctic metagenomic contigs with relative long
reads, we found that 162 (1.42%) of total 11,436 genes were
annotated as carbohydrate-active enzymes (CAZy). Actinobacteria,
the dominant phylum in this soil’s metagenome,
possessed most of candidates of lignocellulose catabolic genes
like glycoside hydrolase families (GH13, GH26, and GH5)
and auxiliary activity families (AA7 and AA3). The predicted
lignocellulose degradation pathways in Antarctic soil metagenome
showed synergistic role of various CAZyme harboring
bacterial genera including Streptomyces, Streptosporangium,
and Amycolatopsis. From phylogenetic relationships
with cellular and environmental enzymes, several genes having
potential for participating in overall lignocellulose degradation
were also found. The results indicated the presence
of lignocellulose-degrading bacteria in Antarctic tundra soil
and the potential benefits of the lignocelluolytic enzymes as
candidates for cold-active enzymes which will be used for the
future biofuel-production industry.

its potential as a starter for soybean fermentation. The
genome size was 40.1 Mbp, which was expected to be composed
of eight chromosomes with 13,748 ORFs. Strain SMF
134 had a total of 151 protease genes, among which two more
leucine aminopeptidase (lap) genes were found in addition to
the previously known lap1, and three γ-glutamyltranspeptidase
(ggt) genes were newly identified. Such genomic characteristics
of SMF 134 with many protease and flavor-related
(lap and ggt) genes support its merits as a starter for soybean
fermentation. In addition, this first complete genome of
A. sojae will allow for further genetic studies to better understand
the production of various enzymes, including proteases,
LAPs, and GGTs, as well as other characteristics as a starter
mold for soybean fermentation.

The yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae has two isoforms of
NADP+-dependent glutamate dehydrogenase (Gdh1 and
Gdh3) that catalyze the synthesis of glutamate from α-ketoglutarate
and NH4
+. In the present study, we confirmed that
Gdh3, but not Gdh1, mainly contributes to the oxidative stress
resistance of stationary-phase cells and found evidence suggesting
that the insignificance of Gdh1 to stress resistance is
possibly resulted from conditional and reversible aggregation
of Gdh1 into punctuate foci initiated in parallel with postdiauxic
growth. Altered localization to the mitochondria or
peroxisomes prevented Gdh1, which was originally localized
in the cytoplasm, from stationary phase-specific aggregation,
suggesting that some cytosolic factors are involved in the
process of Gdh1 aggregation. Glucose starvation triggered
the transition of the soluble form of Gdh1 into the insoluble
aggregate form, which could be redissolved by replenishing
glucose, without any requirement for protein synthesis. Mutational
analysis showed that the N-terminal proximal region
of Gdh1 (NTP1, aa 21-26, TLFEQH) is essential for glucose
starvation-induced aggregation. We also found that the substitution
of NTP1 with the corresponding region of Gdh3
(NTP3) significantly increased the contribution of the mutant
Gdh1 to the stress resistance of stationary-phase cells. Thus,
this suggests that NTP1 is responsible for the negligible role
of Gdh1 in maintaining the oxidative stress resistance of stationary-
phase cells and the stationary phase-specific stresssensitive
phenotype of the mutants lacking Gdh3.

Fungal development is regulated by a variety of transcription
factors in Aspergillus nidulans. Previous studies demonstrated
that the NF-κB type velvet transcription factors regulate certain
target genes that govern fungal differentiation and cellular
metabolism. In this study, we characterize one of the
VosA/VelB-inhibited developmental genes called vidA, which
is predicted to encode a 581-amino acid protein with a C2H2
zinc finger domain at the C-terminus. Levels of vidA mRNA
are high during the early and middle phases of asexual development
and decrease during the late phase of asexual development
and asexual spore (conidium) formation. Deletion
of either vosA or velB results in increased vidA mRNA accumulation
in conidia, suggesting that vidA transcript accumulation
in conidia is repressed by VosA and VelB. Phenotypic
analysis demonstrated that deletion of vidA causes decreased
colony growth, reduced production of asexual spores,
and abnormal formation of sexual fruiting bodies. In addition,
the vidA deletion mutant conidia contain more trehalose
and β-glucan than wild type. Overall, these results suggest
that VidA is a putative transcription factor that plays a
key role in governing proper fungal growth, asexual and sexual
development, and conidia formation in A. nidulans.

In the present study, a laccase gene (BaLc) from a lignin degrading
bacterium, Bacillus atrophaeus, has been cloned
and expressed in Escherichia coli. The optimal catalytic activity
of the protein was achieved at 5.5 pH and 35°C temperature,
measured by oxidation of ABTS. The Km and Vmax
values were determined as 1.42 mM and 4.16 μmole/min, respectively.
To achieve the enzyme recovery, the biocatalyst
(BaLc) was covalently attached onto the functionalized iron
magnetic-nanoparticles. The nanoparticles were characterized
by zeta-potential and FTIR analyses. The immobilized BaLc
enzyme was physico-kinetically characterized, exhibiting retention
of 60% of the residual activity after ten reaction cycles
of ABTS oxidation. The immobilized biocatalyst system was
tested for its biotechnological exploitability in plant juice
processing, achieving 41–58% of phenol reduction, 41–58%
decolorization, 50–59% turbidity reduction in the extracts of
banana pseudo-stem and sweet sorghum stalk, and apple fruit
juice. This is the first study to demonstrate the use of nanoparticle-
laccase conjugate in juice clarification. The findings
suggest that B. atrophaus laccase is a potential catalytic tool
for plant juice bioprocessing activities.

Studies have shown that many enzymes involved in glycolysis
are upregulated in Escherichia coli endoribonuclease G (rng)
null mutants. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying
the RNase G-associated regulation of glycolysis have
not been characterized. Here, we show that RNase G cleaves
the 5untranslated region of triosephosphate isomerase A
(tpiA) mRNA, leading to destabilization of the mRNA in E.
coli. Nucleotide substitutions within the RNase G cleavage
site in the genome resulted in altered tpiA mRNA stability,
indicating that RNase G activity influences tpiA mRNA
abundance. In addition, we observed that tpiA expression was
enhanced, whereas that of RNase G was decreased, in E. coli
cells grown anaerobically. Our findings suggest that RNase
G negatively regulates tpiA mRNA abundance in response
to oxygen availability in E. coli.

Trypanosoma cruzi is an obligate intracellular parasite transmitted
to vertebrate hosts by blood-sucking insects. Molecules
present in parasites and mammalian cells allow the recognition
and parasite internalization. Metallic ions play an essential
role in the establishment and maintenance of hostparasite
interaction. However, little is known about how parasites
handle with essential and nonessential metal quotas.
This study aimed to investigate the influence of metal ions
on the biological processes of T. cruzi infected cells. Infected
cells were incubated with ZnCl2, CdCl2, and HgCl2 for 12 h
and labeled with different specific dyes to investigate the cellular
events related to intracellular parasite death and elimination.
Infected host cells and parasite’s mitochondria underwent
functional and structural disorders, in addition to
parasite’s DNA condensation and pH decrease on host cells,
which led to parasite death. Further investigations suggested
that lysosomes were involved in pH decrease and the double
membrane of the endoplasmic reticulum formed vacuoles
surrounding damaged parasites, which indicate the occurrence
of autophagy for parasite elimination. In conclusion,
low concentrations of nonessential and essential metals cause
a series of damage to Trypanosoma cruzi organelles, leading
to its loss of viability, death, and elimination, with no removal
of the host cells.

Severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS) is a
tick-borne emerging infectious disease caused by the SFTS
virus (SFTSV) and is a threat to public health due to its high
fatality rate. However, details on tick-to-human transmission
of SFTSV are limited. In this study, we determined the wholegenome
sequence of a South Korean SFTSV strain (CUKJJ01),
compared it to those of other recent human SFTSV
isolates, and identified the genetic variations and relationships
among the SFTSV strains. The genome of CUK-JJ01
was consistent with the genome of other members of the genus
Phlebovirus, including the large (L), medium (M), and
small (S) segments of 6368, 3378, and 1744 nucleotides, respectively.
Based on amino acid sequences of the M and S
segments, which are used to distinguish the six SFTSV genotypes,
CUK-JJ01 was classified as genotype B. Segment analysis
revealed that the L, M, and S segments were 97.49%,
97.18%, and 97.94% similar to those of KAJNH2/2013/
Korea, ZJZHSH-FDE/2012/China, and KADGH/2013/Korea,
respectively. Currently, only few studies on SFTSV have been
conducted in Korean population and most were limited to
serological analysis. Although the present study has limitations
in terms of number of sample analyzed, the findings
may serve as basis to understand the transmission and spread
of SFTSV, as well as for the development of diagnostic and
detection methods for viral recombinants by comparing
the whole genome sequence of SFTSV isolates from South
Korea and that of foreign isolates.
