Abstract
-
Methane production by methanogens in wetland is recognized
as a significant contributor to global warming. Spartina alterniflora
(S. alterniflora), which is an invasion plant in China’s
wetland, was reported to have enormous effects on methane
production. But studies on shifts in the methanogen community
in response to S. alterniflora invasion at temporal and
spatial scales in the initial invasion years are rare. Sediments
derived from the invasive species S. alterniflora and the native
species Phragmites australis (P. australis) in pairwise sites
and an invasion chronosequence patch (4 years) were analyzed
to investigate the abundance and community structure
of methanogens using quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR)
and Denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) cloning
of the methyl-coenzyme M reductase A (mcrA) gene. For the
pairwise sites, the abundance of methanogens in S. alterniflora
soils was lower than that of P. australis soils. For the
chronosequence patch, the abundance and diversity of methanogens
was highest in the soil subjected to two years invasion,
in which we detected some rare groups including Methanocellales
and Methanococcales. These results indicated a priming
effect at the initial invasion stages of S. alterniflora for
microorganisms in the soil, which was also supported by the
diverse root exudates. The shifts of methanogen communities
after S. alterniflora invasion were due to changes in pH, salinity
and sulfate. The results indicate that root exudates from
S. alterniflora have a priming effect on methanogens in the
initial years after invasion, and the predominate methylotrophic
groups (Methanosarcinales) may adapt to the availability
of diverse substrates and reflects the potential for high
methane production after invasion by S. alterniflora.

Abstract
-
The taxonomic position of a Gram-stain-negative, rod-shaped
bacterial strain, designated PI11T
, isolated from the rhizospheric
sediment of Phragmites karka was characterized using
a polyphasic approach. Strain PI11T could grow optimally at
1.0% NaCl concentration with pH 7.0 at 30°C and was positive
for oxidase and catalase but negative for hydrolysis of
starch, casein, and esculin ferric citrate. Phylogenetic analysis
of 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that the strain
PI11T belonged to the genus Pseudomonas sharing the highest
sequence similarities with Pseudomonas indoloxydans JCM
14246T (99.72%), followed by, Pseudomonas oleovorans subsp.
oleovorans DSM 1045T (99.29%), Pseudomonas toyotomiensis
JCM 15604T (99.15%), Pseudomonas chengduensis DSM
26382T (99.08%), Pseudomonas oleovorans subsp. lubricantis
DSM 21016T (99.08%), and Pseudomonas alcaliphila JCM
10630T (99.01%). Experimental DNA-DNA relatedness between
strain PI11T and P. indoloxydans JCM 14246T was 49.4%.
The draft genome of strain PI11T consisted of 4,884,839 bp.
Average nucleotide identity between the genome of strain
PI11T and other closely related type strains ranged between
77.25–90.74%. The polar lipid pattern comprised of phosphatidylglycerol,
diphosphatidylglycerol, and phosphatidylcholine.
The major (> 10%) cellular fatty acids were C18:1
ω6c/ω7c, C16:1 ω6c/ω7c, and C16:0. The DNA G + C content
of strain PI11T was 62.4 mol%. Based on the results of polyphasic
analysis, strain PI11T was delineated from other closely
related type strains. It is proposed that strain PI11T represents a novel species of the genus Pseudomonas, for which
the name Pseudomonas sediminis sp. nov. is proposed. The
type strain is PI11T (= KCTC 42576T = DSMZ 100245T).

Abstract
-
Enterobacterial repetitive intergenic consensus (ERIC) sequence is a transcription-modulating, nonautonomous, miniature inverted-repeat transposable element. Its origin and the mechanism of highly varying incidences, limited to Enterobacteriaceae and Vibrionaceae, have not been identified. In this study, distribution and divergence of ERICs along bacterial taxonomic units were analyzed. ERICs were found among five families of gammaproteobacteria, with the copy numbers varying with exponential increments. The variability was explained by genus (45%) and species (36%) affiliations, indicating that copy numbers are specific to subfamily
taxa. ERICs were interspersed in genomes with considerable divergences. Locations of ERICs in a genome appeared to be strongly conserved in a strain, moderately in a species or a genus, and weakly in a family. ERICs in different species of a genus were from the identical population of sequences while ERICs
in different genera of a family were nearly identical. However, ERICs in different families formed distinct monophylectic groups, implying vertical transmission of diverging population of sequences. In spite of large difference in copy numbers, overall intra-genome evolutionary distances among ERICs were similar among
different species, except for a few genomes. The exceptions substantiated hypotheses of genetic drifts and horizontal gene transfers of mobility capacity. Therefore, the confined, variable distribution of ERIC could be explained as a two-step evolution: introduction and proliferation of ERIC in one of the progenitors
of gammaproteobacteria, followed by vertical transmission under negative selection. Deterioration of sequences and reduction in copy number were concluded to be the predominant patterns in the evolution of ERIC loci.
