Abstract
-
A strictly anaerobic, dissimilatory Fe(III)-reducing hyperthermophilic
archaeon, designated as strain IOH1T, was isolated
from a new deep-sea hydrothermal vent (Onnuri Vent Field)
area in the Central Indian Ocean ridge. Strain IOH1T showed
> 99% 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity with Thermococcus
celericrescens TS2T (99.4%) and T. siculi DSM 12349T (99.2%).
Additional three species T. barossii SHCK-94T (99.0%), T. celer
Vu13T (98.8%), and T. piezophilus (98.6%) showed > 98.6%
of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity, however, the maximum
OrthoANI value is 89.8% for the genome of T. celericrescens
TS2T. Strain IOH1T cells are coccoid, 1.2–1.8 μm
in diameter, and motile by flagella. Growth was at 70–82°C
(optimum 80°C), pH 5.4–8.0 (optimum pH 6.0) with 2–4%
(optimum 3%) NaCl. Growth of strain IOH1T was enhanced
by starch, pyruvate, D(+)-maltose and maltodextrin as a carbon
sources, and elemental sulfur as an electron acceptor;
clearly different from those of related species T. celecrescens
DSM 17994T and T. siculi DSM 12349T. Strain IOH1T, T. celercrescence
DSM 17994T, and T. siculi DSM 12349T reduced
soluble Fe(III)-citrate present in the medium, whereas the
amount of total cellular proteins increased with the concomitant
accumulation of Fe(II). We determined a circular chromosome
of 2,234 kb with an extra-chromosomal archaeal
plasmid, pTI1, of 7.7 kb and predicted 2,425 genes. The DNA
G + C content was 54.9 mol%. Based on physiological properties,
phylogenetic, and genome analysis, we proposed that
strain IOH1T (= KCTC 15844T = JCM 39077T) is assigned to
a new species in the genus Thermococcus and named Thermococcus
indicus sp. nov.

Abstract
-
We assessed the anti-V3 antibody content and viral neutralization
potential of the plasma of 63 HIV-1-infected patients
(antiretroviral naïve=39, treated=24) against four primary
isolates (PIs) of clade C and a tier 1 clade B isolate SF162.
Depletion and inhibition of anti-V3 antibodies in the plasma
of five patients with high titers of anti-V3 antibodies led to
modest change in the neutralization percentage against two
PIs (range 0–21%). The plasma of antiretroviral-treated
patients exhibited higher neutralization potential than that
of the drug-naïve plasmas against the four PIs tested which
was further evidenced by a follow-up study.

Abstract
-
Psilocybe fagicola comprises a complex of more than eight species, six of them in Mexico, and all of them possessing a long pseudorhiza, a characteristic not listed by Heim and Cailleux in 1959 in the original description of the type species, but described by Guzman in 1978 and 1983. The description of Psilocybe fagicola s.s. is here emended to include the length of the cheilocystidia of (6-) 12-20 (-30) um, as well as the absence or scarcity of pleurocystidia. Psilocybe xalapensis and P. wassoniorum are considered to be synonymous with P. fagicola s.s. However, Psilocybe banderillensis and P. herrerae from Mexico, P. columbiana from Colombia, and P. keralensis from India are considered to be valid species within this complex. Moreover, P. novoxalapensis and P. teofilae, both from Mexico, are described as new species. Length of spores, presence or absence of pleurocystidia and their variations, and type of cheilocystidia constitute the principal defining characteristics of the species. Setaceous hyphae at the base of the stipe, as well as caulocystidia, lack taxonomic value, as do other morphological characteristics, including pileipellis and subpileipellis. A key to the eight considered species is also presented within the paper.
