Denitrification and dissimilatory nitrate reduction to ammonium (DNRA) were thought to be carried-out by anaerobic bacteria constrained to anoxic conditions as they use nitrate (NO3-) as a terminal electron acceptor instead of molecular O2. Three soil bacilli, Neobacillus spp. strains PS2-9 and PS3-12 and Bacillus salipaludis PS3-36, were isolated from rice paddy field soil in Korea. The bacterial strains were selected as possible candidates performing aerobic denitrification and DNRA as they were observed to reduce NO3- and produce extracellular NH4+ regardless of oxygen presence at the initial screening. Whole genome sequencing revealed that these strains possessed all the denitrification and DNRA functional genes in their genomes, including the nirK, nosZ, nirB, and nrfA genes, which were simultaneously cotranscribed under aerobic condition. The ratio between the assimilatory and dissimilatory NO3- reduction pathways depended on the availability of a nitrogen source for cell growth, other than NO3-. Based on the phenotypic and transcriptional analyses of the NO3- reductions, all three of the facultative anaerobic strains reduced NO3- likely in both assimilatory and dissimilatory pathways under both aerobic and anoxic conditions. To our knowledge, this is the first report that describes coexistence of NO3- assimilation, denitrification, and DNRA in a Bacillus or Neobacillus strain under aerobic condition. These strains may play a pivotal role in the soil nitrogen cycle.

Abstract
-
Bacillus velezensis strain GH1-13 contains a (2R,3R)-butanediol
dehydrogenase (R-BDH) BdhA which converts acetoin
to R-BD reversibly, however, little is known about its regulatory
cysteine and biological significance. We performed sitedirected
mutation of three cysteines in BdhA. The C37S mutant
had no enzyme activity and the C34S and C177S mutants
differed from each other and wild type (WT). After zinc affinity
chromatography, 1 mM ZnCl2 treatment resulted in a
3-fold enhancement of the WT activity, but reduced activity
of the C34S mutant by more than 2 folds compared to the untreated
ones. However, ZnCl2 treatment did not affect the activity
of the C177S mutant. Most of the double and triple mutant
proteins (C34S/C37S, C34S/C177S, C37S/C177S, and
C34S/C37S/C177S) were aggregated in zinc resins, likely due
to the decreased protein stability. All of the purified WT and
single mutant proteins increased multiple intermolecular disulfide
bonds in the presence of H2O2 as the buffer pH decreased
from 7.5 to 5.5, whereas an intramolecular disulfide
bond of cysteine 177 and another cysteine in the CGIC motif
region was likely formed at pH higher than pKa of 7.5. When
pH varied, WT and its C34S or C177S mutants reduced acetoin
to R-BD at the optimum pH 5.5 and oxidized R-BD to
acetoin at the optimum pH 10. This study demonstrated that
cysteine residues in BdhA play a regulatory role for the production
of acetoin and R-BD depending on pH as well as
metal binding and oxidative stress.

Abstract
-
A yellow pigmented, Gram-stain-negative, strictly aerobic,
rod-shaped, motile by means of gliding, catalase and oxidase
positive bacterium, designated strain DS2-AT, was isolated
from soil. Growth was observed at 4–32°C (optimum, 28°C),
pH 6–9 (optimum, 7.0), and with 0–0.25% (w/v) NaCl (optimum,
0%). Phylogenetic analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequence
revealed that strain DS2-AT belonged to the genus Flavobacterium
and was most closely related to Flavobacterium
aquatile LMG 4008T (96.4%), Flavobacterium terrae DSM
18829T (95.6%), Flavobacterium vireti THG-SM1T (95.5%),
Flavobacterium inkyongense IMCC27201T (95.4%), Flavobacterium
brevivitae TTM-43T (95.2%), and Flavobacterium
cucumis DSM 18830T (95.2%). Strain DS2-AT produces flexirubin-
type pigments. The major fatty acids were iso-C15:0,
iso-C17:0 3-OH, and iso-C15:0 3-OH. The major respiratory
quinone was identified as menaquinone-6. The major polar
lipid was found to be phosphatidylethanolamine. The average
nucleotide identity values between strain DS2-AT and selected
taxa, F. aquatile LMG 4008T, F. terrae DSM 18829T,
and F. cucumis DSM 18830T, were 72, 72.7, and 71.6%, respectively.
The draft genome of strain DS2-AT has a number
of 14 contigs, scaffold N50 of 476,310 bp and a total size of
3,563,867 bp. Additionally, strain DS2-AT contains 3,127 of
gene, 41 of tRNA, 6 of rRNA, and 3 of ncRNA. The DNA G
+ C content of stain DS2-AT was 40.7 mol%. Based on phylogenetic
and phenotypic analyses, strain DS2-AT is considered
as a novel species of the genus Flavobacterium, for which
the name Flavobacterium humi sp. nov., (type strain DS2-AT
= KACC 19715T = JCM 32786T) has been proposed.

Abstract
-
Delftia lacustris is reported for the first time as a selenate and
selenite reducing bacterium, capable of tolerating and growing
in the presence of ≥ 100 mM selenate and 25 mM selenite.
The selenate reduction profiles of D. lacustris were investigated
by varying selenate concentration, inoculum size, concentration
and source of organic electron donor in minimal
salt medium. Interestingly, the bacterium was able to reduce
both selenate and selenite under aerobic conditions. Although
considerable removal of selenate was observed at all concentrations
investigated, D. lacustris was able to completely reduce
0.1 mM selenate within 96 h using lactate as the carbon
source. Around 62.2% unaccounted selenium (unidentified
organo-selenium compounds), 10.9% elemental selenium
and 26.9% selenite were determined in the medium after
complete reduction of selenate. Studies of the enzymatic
activity of the cell fractions show that the selenite/selenate
reducing enzymes were intracellular and independent of
NADPH availability. D. lacustris shows an unique metabolism
of selenium oxyanions to form elemental selenium and
possibly also selenium ester compounds, thus a potential candidate
for the remediation of selenium-contaminated wastewaters
in aerobic environments. This novel finding will advance
the field of bioremediation of selenium-contaminated
sites and selenium bio-recovery and the production of potentially
beneficial organic and inorganic reactive selenium
species.

Abstract
-
Thermococcus onnurineus NA1, an obligate anaerobic hyperthermophilic
archaeon, showed variable oxygen (O2) sensitivity
depending on the types of substrate employed as an
energy source. Unexpectedly, the culture with yeast extract
as a sole energy source showed enhanced growth by 2-fold
in the presence of O2. Genome-wide transcriptome analysis
revealed the upregulation of several antioxidant-related genes
encoding thioredoxin peroxidase (TON_0862), rubrerythrin
(TON_0864), rubrerythrin-related protein (TON_0873),
NAD(P)H rubredoxin oxidoreductase (TON_0865), or thioredoxin
reductase (TON_1603), which can couple the detoxification
of reactive oxygen species with the regeneration
of NAD(P)+ from NAD(P)H. We present a plausible mechanism
by which O2 serves to maintain the intracellular redox
balance. This study demonstrates an unusual strategy of an
obligate anaerobe underlying O2-mediated growth enhancement
despite not having heme-based or cytochrome-type
proteins.

Abstract
-
The ruminant digestive system harbors a complex gut microbiome,
which is poorly understood in the case of the four
stomach compartments of yak. High-throughput sequencing
and quantitative PCR were used to analyse microbial communities
in the rumen, reticulum, omasum, and abomasum of
six domesticated yak. The diversity of prokaryotes was higher
in reticulum and omasum than in rumen and abomasum.
Bacteroidetes predominated in the four stomach compartments,
with abundance gradually decreasing in the trend
rumen > reticulum > omasum > abomasum. Microorganism
composition was different among the four compartments,
all of which contained high levels of bacteria, methanogens,
protozoa and anaerobic fungi. Some prokaryotic genera were
associated with volatile fatty acids and pH. This study provides
the first insights into the microorganism composition
of four stomach compartments in yak, and may provide a
foundation for future studies in this area.

Abstract
-
Although microbially induced calcium carbonate precipita-tion (MICP) through ureolysis has been widely studied in en-vironmental engineering fields, urea utilization might cause environmental problems as a result of ammonia and nitrate production. In this study, many non-ureolytic calcium car-bonate-precipitating bacteria that induced an alkaline envi-ronment were isolated from the rhizosphere of Miscanthus sacchariflorus near an artificial stream and their ability to pre-cipitate calcium carbonate minerals with the absence of urea was investigated. MICP was observed using a phase-contrast microscope and ion-selective electrode. Only Lysinibacillus sp. YS11 showed MICP in aerobic conditions. Energy disper-sive X-ray spectrometry and X-ray diffraction confirmed the presence of calcium carbonate. Field emission scanning elec-tron microscopy analysis indicated the formation of morpho-logically distinct minerals around cells under these condi-tions. Monitoring of bacterial growth, pH changes, and Ca2+ concentrations under aerobic, hypoxia, and anaerobic con-ditions suggested that strain YS11 could induce alkaline con-ditions up to a pH of 8.9 and utilize 95% of free Ca2+ only under aerobic conditions. Unusual Ca2+ binding and its re-lease from cells were observed under hypoxia conditions. Bio-film and extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) formation were enhanced during MICP. Strain YS11 has resistance at high pH and in high salt concentrations, as well as its spore- forming ability, which supports its potential application for self-healing concrete.

Abstract
-
We have previously identified a sulfate methane transition
zone (SMTZ) within the methane hydrate-bearing sediment
in the Ulleung Basin, East Sea of Korea, and the presence of
ANME-1b group in the sediment has been shown by phylogenetic
analysis of a 16S rRNA gene. Herein, we describe
taxonomic and functional profiling in the SMTZ sample by
metagenomic analysis, comparing with that of surface sediment.
Metagenomic sequences of 115 Mbp and 252 Mbp
were obtained from SMTZ and surface sediments, respectively.
The taxonomic profiling using BLASTX against the
SEED within MG-RAST showed the prevalence of methanogens
(19.1%), such as Methanosarcinales (12.0%) and
Methanomicrobiales (4.1%) predominated within the SMTZ
metagenome. A number of 185,200 SMTZ reads (38.9%) and
438,484 surface reads (62.5%) were assigned to functional
categories, and methanogenesis-related reads were statistically
significantly overrepresented in the SMTZ metagenome.
However, the mapping analysis of metagenome reads to the
reference genomes, most of the sequences of the SMTZ metagenome
were mapped to ANME-1 draft genomes, rather
than those of methanogens. Furthermore, the two copies of
the methyl-coenzyme M reductase gene (mcrA) segments
of the SMTZ metagenome were clustered with ANME-1b in
the phylogenetic cluster. These results indicate that ANME-
1b reads were miss-annotated to methanogens due to limitation
of database. Many of key genes necessary for reverse
methanogenesis were present in the SMTZ metagenome,
except for N5,N10-methenyl-H4MPT reductase (mer) and CoBCoM
heterodisulfide reductase subunits D and E (hdrDE). These data suggest that the ANME-1b represents the primary
player the anaerobic methane oxidation in the SMTZ,
of the methane hydrate-bearing sediment at the Ulleung
Basin, East Sea of Korea.

Abstract
-
Five strictly anaerobic Gram-negative bacterial strains, P4-65,
P4-76T, P5-60, P5-119, and P5-125, presumably belonging
to the genus Prevotella were isolated from pig fecal samples.
Strains were tested for various phenotypic traits and nearcomplete
genome sequences were obtained and analyzed.
Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences and
multilocus sequence analysis based on five conserved genes
confirmed that the strains belong to the genus Prevotella,
revealing that they represent a novel and discrete lineage
distinct from other known species of this genus. The size of
the genome of the isolated strains is 3?.3 Mbp, and the
DNA G+C content is 47.5?8.1 mol%. The isolates are strictly
anaerobic, rod-shaped with rounded ends, non-motile and
non-spore-forming. The main fermentation products are
succinate and acetate, with minor concentrations of isovalerate,
propionate and isobutyrate. Hydrogen is also produced.
Major cellular fatty acids consist of anteiso-C15:0 and iso-C15:0,
and a number of additional acids are present in lower concentrations.
A substantial portion of genes involved in carbohydrate
utilization is devoted to pectin degradation and utilization,
while those supporting growth on xylan in ruminal
Prevotella could not have been revealed. On the basis of the
presented results, a novel species, Prevotella pectinovora sp.
nov. is proposed. The type strain is P4-76T (=DSM 29996T
=ZIM B1020T).

Abstract
-
Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae is an important porcine respiratory pathogen causing great economic losses in the pig industry worldwide. Oxygen deprivation is a stress that A. pleuropneumoniae will encounter during both early infection and the later, persistent stage. To understand modulation of A. pleuropneumoniae gene expression in response to the stress caused by anaerobic conditions, gene expression profiles under anaerobic and aerobic conditions were compared in this study. The microarray results showed that 631 genes (27.7% of the total ORFs) were differentially expressed in anaerobic conditions. Many genes encoding proteins
involved in glycolysis, carbon source uptake systems, pyruvate metabolism, fermentation and the electron respiration transport chain were up-regulated. These changes led to an increased amount of pyruvate, lactate, ethanol and acetate
in the bacterial cells as confirmed by metabolite detection. Genes encoding proteins involved in cell surface structures, especially biofilm formation, peptidoglycan biosynthesis and lipopolysaccharide biosynthesis were up-regulated
as well. Biofilm formation was significantly enhanced under anaerobic conditions. These results indicate that induction of central metabolism is important for basic survival of A. pleuropneumoniae after a shift to an anaerobic environment.
Enhanced biofilm formation may contribute to the persistence of this pathogen in the damaged anaerobic host tissue and also in the early colonization stage. These
discoveries give new insights into adaptation mechanisms of A. pleuropneumoniae in response to environmental stress.

Abstract
-
A mesophilic, facultative, anaerobic, xylanolytic-cellulolytic bacterium, TW1T, was isolated from sludge in an anaerobic digester fed with pineapple waste. Cells stained Gram-positive, were spore-forming, and had the morphology of straight to slightly curved rods. Growth was observed in the temperature range of 30 to 50°C (optimum 37°C) and the pH range of 6.0 to 7.5 (optimum pH 7.0) under aerobic and anaerobic conditions. The strain contained meso-diaminopimelic acid in the cell-wall peptidoglycan. The predominant isoprenoid quinone was menaquinone with seven isoprene units (MK-7). Anteiso-C15:0, iso-C16:0, anteiso-C17:0, and C16:0 were the predominant cellular fatty acids. The G+C content of the DNA was 49.5 mol%. A phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA showed that strain TW1T belonged within the genus Paenibacillus and was closely related to Paenibacillus cellulosilyticus LMG 22232T, P. curdlanolyticus KCTC 3759T, and P. kobensis KCTC 3761T with 97.7, 97.5, and 97.3% sequence similarity, respectively. The DNA-DNA hybridization values between the isolate and type strains of P. cellulosilyticus LMG 22232T, P. curdlanolyticus KCTC 3759T, and P. kobensis KCTC 3761T were found to be 18.6, 18.3, and 18.0%, respectively. The protein and xylanase patterns of strain TW1T were quite different from those of the type strains of closely related Paenibacillus species. On the basis of DNA-DNA relatedness and phenotypic analyses, phylogenetic data and the enzymatic pattern presented in this study, strain TW1T should be classified as a novel species of the genus Paenibacillus, for which the name Paenibacillus xylaniclasticus sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is TW1T (=NBRC 106381T =KCTC 13719T =TISTR 1914T).

Abstract
-
Tobacco smoking is considered one of the most significant
environmental risk factors for destructive periodontal disease.
The effect of smoking on periodontopathic microbiota has
not yet been elucidated, as previous studies failed to identify
a concrete relationship between periodontopathic microorganisms
and smoking. However, it is likely that smoking, as
an environmental stress factor, may affect the behavior of
dental plaque microorganisms, ultimately leading to alteration
of the host-parasite interaction. The goal of this study
was to examine the effect of nicotine, a major component of
tobacco, on the growth and protein expression of the crucial
periodontal pathogen Porphyromonas gingivalis. The growth
of P. gingivalis 381 was measured after bacterial cells were
cultivated in liquid broth containing various nicotine concentrations.
First, P. gingivalis cells were allowed to grow in
the presence of a single dose of nicotine (the single exposure
protocol) at 0, 1, 2, 4, and 8 mg/L, respectively. Second, P.
gingivalis cells were exposed to five consecutive doses of
nicotine (the multiple exposure protocol) at 0, 1, 2, and 4
mg/L, respectively. Bacterial growth was measured by optical
density and protein expression was analyzed by SDS-PAGE
and 2-D gel electrophoresis. In the single nicotine exposure
protocol, it was observed that the growth of P. gingivalis
381 was inhibited by nicotine in a dose-dependent manner.
In the multiple nicotine exposure protocol, the growth rate
of P. gingivalis increased with each subsequent nicotine exposure,
even though bacterial growth was also inhibited in a
dose dependent fashion. SDS-PAGE and 2-D gel electrophoresis
analyses revealed a minor change in the pattern of
protein expression, showing differences in proteins with
low molecular weights (around 20 kDa) on exposure to
nicotine. The results of this study suggest that nicotine exerts
an inhibitory effect on the growth of P. gingivalis, and has a
potential to modulate protein expression in P. gingivalis.

Abstract

Pseudomonas putida E41 was isolated from oil-contaminated soil and showed its ability to grow on ethylbenzene
as the sole carbon and energy source. Moreover, P. putida E41 show the activity of biodegradation
of ethylbenzene in the batch culture. E41 showed high efficiency of biodegradation of ethylbenzene with
the optimum conditions (a cell concentration of 0.1 g wet cell weight/L, pH 7.0, 25°C, and ethylbenzene
concentration of 50 mg/L) from the results of the batch culture. The maximum degradation rate and specific
growth rate (μmax) under the optimum conditions were 0.19±0.03 mg/mg-DCW (Dry Cell Weight)/h and
0.87±0.13 h-1, respectively. Benzene, toluene and ethylbenzene were degraded when these compounds were
provided together; however, xylene isomers persisted during degradation by P. putida E41. When using
a bioreactor batch system with a binary culture with P. putida BJ10, which was isolated previously in
our lab, the degradation rate for benzene and toluene was improved in BTE mixed medium (each initial
concentration: 50 mg/L). Almost all of the BTE was degraded within 4 h and 70-80% of m-, p-, and o-xylenes
within 11 h in a BTEX mixture (initial concentration: 50 mg/L each). In summary, we found a valuable
new strain of P. putida, determined the optimal degradation conditions for this isolate and tested a mixed
culture of E41 and BJ10 for its ability to degrade a common sample of mixed contaminants containing
benzene, toluene, and xylene.

Abstract
-
Marine harbor sediments are frequently polluted with significant amount of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) some of which are naturally toxic, recalcitrant, mutagenic, and carcinogenic. To stimulate biodegradation of PAHs in PAH-contaminated sediments collected from near Gwangyang Bay, Korea, lactate was chosen as a supplementary carbonaceous substrate. Sediment packed into 600 ml air-tight jar was either under no treatment condition or lactate amended condition (1%, w/v). Microbial community composition was monitored by bacteria-specific and archaea-specific PCR-terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism (T-RFLP), in addition to measuring the residual PAH concentration. Results showed that lactate amendment enhanced biodegradation rate of PAHs in the sediment by 4 to 8 times, and caused a significant shift in archaebacterial community in terms of structure and diversity with time. Phylogenetic analysis of 23 archaeal clones with distinctive RFLP patterns among 288 archaeal clones indicated that majority of the archaeal members were closest to unculturable environmental rDNA clones from hydrocarbon-contaminated and/or methanogenesis-bearing sediments. Lactate amendment led to the enrichment of some clones that were most closely related to PAH-degrading Methanosarcina species. These results suggest a possible contribution of methanogenic community to PAH degradation and give us more insights on how to effectively remediate PAH-contaminated sediments.

Abstract
-
In order to determine the effects of sulfate concentration on the anaerobic dechlorination of polychlorinated biphenyls, sediments spiked with Aroclor 1242 were made into slurries using media which had various sulfate concentrations ranging from 3 to 23 mM. The time course of dechlorination clearly demonstrated that dechlorination was inhibited at high concentration of sulfate due to less dechlorination of meta-substituted congeners. When the dechlorination patterns were analyzed by the calculation of Euclidean distance, the dechlorination pathway in the 3 mM sulfate samples was found to be different from that observed in the 13 mM samples, although the extent of dechlorination in these two samples was similar. It is possible that the dechlorination in the high sulfate concentration samples is inhibited by the suppression of growth of methanogen, which have been shown to be meta-dechlorinating microorganisms.
