Abstract
-
With developments in synthetic biology, “engineering biology” has emerged through standardization and platformization
based on hierarchical, orthogonal, and modularized biological systems. Genome engineering is necessary to manufacture
and design synthetic cells with desired functions by using bioparts obtained from sequence databases. Among various tools,
the CRISPR-Cas system is modularly composed of guide RNA and Cas nuclease; therefore, it is convenient for editing
the genome freely. Recently, various strategies have been developed to accurately edit the genome at a single nucleotide
level. Furthermore, CRISPR-Cas technology has been extended to molecular diagnostics for nucleic acids and detection of
pathogens, including disease-causing viruses. Moreover, CRISPR technology, which can precisely control the expression
of specific genes in cells, is evolving to find the target of metabolic biotechnology. In this review, we summarize the status
of various CRISPR technologies that can be applied to synthetic biology and discuss the development of synthetic biology
combined with CRISPR technology in microbiology.

Abstract
-
A Gram-stain-positive, rod-shaped, alkalitolerant, and halophilic
bacterium–designated as strain NKC3-5T–was isolated
from kimchi that was collected from the Geumsan area
in the Republic of Korea. Cells of isolated strain NKC3-5T
were 0.5–0.7μm wide and 1.4–2.8 μm long. The strain
NKC3-5T could grow at up to 20.0% (w/v) NaCl (optimum
10%), pH 6.5–10.0 (optimum pH 9.0), and 25–40°C (optimum
35°C). The cells were able to reduce nitrate under aerobic
conditions, which is the first report in the genus Salicibibacter.
The genome size and genomic G + C content of
strain NKC3-5T were 3,754,174 bp and 45.9 mol%, respectively;
it contained 3,630 coding sequences, 16S rRNA genes
(six 16S, five 5S, and five 23S), and 59 tRNA genes. Phylogenetic
analysis based on 16S rRNA showed that strain NKC-
3-5T clustered with bacterium Salicibibacter kimchii NKC1-1T,
with a similarity of 96.2–97.6%, but formed a distinct branch
with other published species of the family Bacillaceae. In addition,
OrthoANI value between strain NKC3-5T and Salicibibacter
kimchii NKC1-1T was far lower than the species demarcation
threshold. Using functional genome annotation,
the result found that carbohydrate, amino acid, and vitamin
metabolism related genes were highly distributed in the genome
of strain NKC3-5T. Comparative genomic analysis revealed
that strain NKC3-5T had 716 pan-genome orthologous
groups (POGs), dominated with carbohydrate metabolism.
Phylogenomic analysis based on the concatenated core
POGs revealed that strain NKC3-5T was closely related to
Salicibibacter kimchii. The predominant polar lipids were
phosphatidylglycerol and two unidentified lipids. Anteiso-
C15:0, iso-C17:0, anteiso-C17:0, and iso-C15:0 were the major cellular
fatty acids, and menaquinone-7 was the major isoprenoid
quinone present in strain NKC3-5T. Cell wall peptidoglycan
analysis of strain NKC3-5T showed that meso-diaminopimelic
acid was the diagnostic diamino acid. The phenotypic,
genomic, phylogenetic, and chemotaxonomic properties
reveal that the strain represents a novel species of
the genus Salicibibacter, for which the name Salicibibacter
halophilus sp. nov. is proposed, with the type strain NKC3-5T
(= KACC 21230T = JCM 33437T).

Abstract
-
A moderately halophilic and alkalitolerant bacterial strain
NKC1-1T was isolated from commercial kimchi in Korea.
Strain NKC1-1T was Gram-stain-positive, aerobic, rod-shaped,
non-motile, and contained diaminopimelic acid-type murein.
Cell growth was observed in a medium containing 0–25%
(w/v) NaCl (optimal at 10% [w/v]), at 20–40°C (optimal at
37°C) and pH 6.5–10.0 (optimal at pH 9.0). The major isoprenoid
quinone of the isolate was menaquinone-7, and the
major polar lipids were phosphatidylglycerol and unidentified
phospholipids. Cell membrane of the strain contained
iso-C17:0 and anteiso-C15:0 as the major fatty acids. Its DNA
G + C content was 45.2 mol%. Phylogenetic analysis indicated
the strain to be most closely related to Geomicrobium halophilum
with 92.7–92.9% 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity.
Based on polyphasic taxonomic evaluation with phenotypic,
phylogenetic, and chemotaxonomic analyses, the strain represents
a novel species in a new genus, for which the name
Salicibibacter kimchii gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed (= CECT
9537T; KCCM 43276T).

Abstract
-
A Gram-stain-positive, halophilic, rod-shaped, non-motile,
spore forming bacterium, strain NKC1-2T, was isolated from
kimchi, a Korean fermented food. Comparative analysis based
on 16S rRNA gene sequence demonstrated that the isolated
strain was a species of the genus Virgibacillus. Strain NKC1-
2T exhibited high level of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity
with the type strains of Virgibacillus xinjiangensis SL6-1T
(96.9%), V. sediminis YIM kkny3T (96.8%), and V. salarius
SA-Vb1T (96.7%). The isolate grew at pH 6.5–10.0 (optimum,
pH 8.5–9.0), 0.0–25.0% (w/v) NaCl (optimum, 10–15% NaCl),
and 15–50°C (optimum, 37°C). The major menaquinone in
the strain was menaquinone-7, and the main peptidoglycan
of the strain was meso-diaminopimelic acid. The predominant
fatty acids of the strain were iso-C14:0, anteisio-C15:0, iso-
C15:0, and iso-C16:0 (other components were < 10.0%). The
polar lipids consisted of diphosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylglycerol.
The genomic DNA G + C content of NKC1-2T
was 42.5 mol%. On the basis of these findings, strain NKC1-
2T is proposed as a novel species in the genus Virgibacillus,
for which the name Virgibacillus kimchii sp. nov. is proposed
(=KACC 19404T =JCM 32284T). The type strain of Virgibacillus
kimchii is NKC1-2T.

Abstract
-
A novel halophilic bacterium, strain K7T, was isolated from
kimchi, a traditional Korean fermented food. The strain is
Gram-positive, motile, and produces terminal endospores.
The isolate is facultative aerobic and grows at salinities of
0.0–25.0% (w/v) NaCl (optimum 10–15% NaCl), pH 5.5–8.5
(optimum pH 7.0–7.5), and 15–42°C (optimum 37°C). The
predominant isoprenoid quinone in the strain is menaquinone-
7 and the peptidoglycan of the strain is meso-diaminopimelic
acid. The major fatty acids of the strain are anteisio-
C15:0, iso-C15:0, and, C16:0 (other components were < 10.0%),
while the major polar lipids are diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol,
phosphatidylcholine, and three unidentified
lipids. A phylogenetic analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequence
similarity showed that the isolated strain was a cluster of the
genus Gracilibacillus. High levels of gene sequence similarity
were observed between strain K7T and Gracilibacillus orientalis
XH-63T (96.5%), and between the present strain and
Gracilibacillus xinjiangensis (96.5%). The DNA G+C content
of this strain is 37.7 mol%. Based on these findings, strain
K7T is proposed as a novel species: Gracilibacillus kimchii sp.
nov. The type strain is K7T (KACC 18669T; JCM 31344T).

Abstract
-
Three Gram reaction positive, rod-shaped, moderately motile halophilic bacterial strains, designated YD3-56T, YD16, and YH29, were isolated from the sediments of Manasi and Aiding salt lakes in the Xinjiang region of China, respectively. The strains grew optimally at 30-37°C, pH 8-11, in the presence of 5-10% (w/v) NaCl. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that the strains were closely related to members of the genus Oceanobacillus, exhibiting 99.1-99.2% similarity to O. kapialis KCTC 13177T, 99.2-99.3% to O. picturae KCTC 3821T, and 94.2-96% sequence similarity to other described Oceanobacillus species. SDS-PAGE of whole cell proteins preparations demonstrated that the strains exhibited high similarity to each other, but distinguished from O. kapialis KCTC 13177T and O. picturae KCTC 3821T (75%). DNA-DNA hybridization revealed that the similarity between the representative strain YD3-56T and O. kapialis KCTC 13177T was 35.3%, and the similarity between YD3-56T and O. picturae KCTC 3821T was 22.3%. Chemotaxonomic analysis of the strains showed menaquinone-7 was the predominant respiratory quinine. Major cellular fatty acids were anteiso-C15:0 and anteiso-C17:0. The polar lipid pattern for strain YD3-56T predominantly contained phosphatidylcholine, and trace to moderate amounts of phosphatidyl ethanolamine
and hydroxy-phosphatidyl ethanolamine. The diamino acid in murein was meso-diaminopimelic acid. The DNA G+C content of the strains was 39.7-40.1 mol%. On the basis of these results, the three strains should be classified as a novel species of the genus Oceanobacillus, for which the name Oceanobacillus manasiensis sp.
nov. has been proposed, with the type strain as YD3-56T (=CGMCC 1.9105T =NBRC 105903T).
