Abstract
-
A Gram-stain-negative, rod-shaped, obligately aerobic, chemoheterotrophic
bacterium which is motile by means of a
single polar flagellum, designated SAORIC-263T, was isolated
from deep seawater of the Pacific Ocean. Phylogenetic
analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences and genomebased
phylogeny revealed that strain SAORIC-263T belonged
to the genus Sulfitobacter and shared 96.1–99.9% 16S rRNA
gene sequence similarities with Sulfitobacter species. Wholegenome
sequencing of strain SAORIC-263T revealed a genome
size of 3.9Mbp and DNA G+C content of 61.3 mol%.
The SAORIC-263T genome shared an average nucleotide identity
and digital DNA-DNA hybridization of 79.1–88.5% and
18.9–35.0%, respectively, with other Sulfitobacter genomes.
The SAORIC-263T genome contained the genes related to
benzoate degradation, which are frequently found in deep-sea
metagenome. The strain contained summed feature 8 (C18:1
ω7c), C18:1 ω7c 11-methyl, and C16:0 as the predominant cellular
fatty acids as well as ubiquinone-10 (Q-10) as the major
respiratory quinone. The major polar lipids of the strain
were phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, diphosphatidylglycerol,
phosphatidylcholine, and aminolipid.
On the basis of taxonomic data obtained in this study, it is
suggested that strain SAORIC-263T represents a novel species
of the genus Sulfitobacter, for which the name Sulfitobacter
profundi sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is SAORIC-263T
(= KACC 21183T = NBRC 113428T).

Abstract
-
Although culture-independent studies have shown the presence
of Verrucomicrobia in the deep sea, verrucomicrobial
strains from deep-sea environments have been rarely cultured
and characterized. Recently, Rubritalea profundi SAORIC-
165T, a psychrophilic bacterium of the phylum Verrucomicrobia,
was isolated from a depth of 2,000 m in the northwestern
Pacific Ocean. In this study, the genome sequence
of R. profundi SAORIC-165T, the first deep-sea verrucomicrobial
isolate, is reported with description of the genome
properties and comparison to surface-borne Rubritalea genomes.
The draft genome consisted of four contigs with an
entire size of 4,167,407 bp and G+C content of 47.5%. The
SAORIC-165T genome was predicted to have 3,844 proteincoding
genes and 45 non-coding RNA genes. The genome
contained a repertoire of metabolic pathways, including the
Embden-Meyerhof-Parnas pathway, pentose phosphate pathway,
tricarboxylic acid cycle, assimilatory sulfate reduction,
and biosynthesis of nicotinate/nicotinamide, pantothenate/
coenzyme A, folate, and lycopene. The comparative genomic
analyses with two surface-derived Rubritalea genomes showed
that the SAORIC-165T genome was enriched in genes involved
in transposition of mobile elements, signal transduction, and
carbohydrate metabolism, some of which might be related to
bacterial enhancement of ecological fitness in the deep-sea
environment. Amplicon sequencing of 16S rRNA genes from
the water column revealed that R. profundi-related phylotypes
were relatively abundant at 2,000 m and preferred a
particle-associated life style in the deep sea. These findings
suggest that R. profundi represents a genetically unique and
ecologically relevant verrucomicrobial group well adapted
to the deep-sea environment.

Abstract
-
Deep sea ferromanganese (FeMn) nodules contain metallic
mineral resources and have great economic potential. In this
study, a combination of culture-dependent and culture-independent
(16S rRNA genes clone library and pyrosequencing)
methods
was used to investigate the bacterial diversity
in FeMn nodules from Jiaolong Seamount, the South China
Sea. Eleven bacterial strains including some moderate thermophiles
were isolated. The majority of strains belonged to
the phylum Proteobacteria; one isolate belonged to the phylum
Firmicutes. A total of 259 near full-length bacterial 16S
rRNA gene sequences in a clone library and 67,079 valid reads
obtained using pyrosequencing indicated that members of
the Gammaproteobacteria dominated, with the most abundant
bacterial genera being Pseudomonas and Alteromonas.
Sequence analysis indicated the presence of many organisms
whose closest relatives are known manganese oxidizers, iron
reducers, hydrogen-oxidizing bacteria and methylotrophs.
This is the first reported investigation of bacterial diversity
associated with deep sea FeMn nodules from the South China
Sea.
