Abstract
-
Quorum quenching refers to any mechanism that inhibits quorum sensing processes.
In this study, quorum quenching activity among bacteria inhabiting riverside soil was screened, and a novel Gram-stain-negative, rod shaped bacterial strain designated MMS21-HV4-11(T), which showed the highest level of quorum quenching activity, was isolated and subjected to further analysis. Strain MMS21-HV4-11(T) could be assigned to the genus Reyranella of Alphaproteobacteria based on the 16S rRNA gene sequence, as the strain shared 98.74% sequence similarity with Reyranella aquatilis seoho-37(T), and then 97.87% and 97.80% sequence similarity with Reyranella soli KIS14-15(T) and Reyranella massiliensis 521(T), respectively. The decomposed N-acyl homoserine lactone was restored at high concentrations under acidic conditions, implying that lactonase and other enzyme(s) are responsible for quorum quenching. The genome analysis indicated that strain MMS21-HV4-11(T) had two candidate genes for lactonase and one for acylase, and expected protein structures were confirmed. In the quorum sensing inhibition assay using a plant pathogen Pectobacterium carotovorum KACC 14888, development of soft rot was significantly inhibited by strain MMS21-HV4-11(T).
Besides, the swarming motility by Pseudomonas aeruginosa PA14 was significantly inhibited in the presence of strain MMS21-HV4-11(T). Since the isolate did not display direct antibacterial activity against either of these species, the inhibition was certainly due to quorum quenching activity. In an extended study with the type strains of all known species of Reyranella, all strains were capable of degrading N-acyl homoserine lactones (AHLs), thus showing quorum quenching potential at the genus level. This is the first study on the quorum quenching potential and enzymes responsible in Reyranella. In addition, MMS21-HV4-11(T) could be recognized as a new species through taxonomic characterization, for which the name Reyranella humidisoli sp. nov. is proposed (type strain = MMS21-HV4-11( T) = KCTC 82780( T) = LMG 32365(T)).

Abstract
-
Two novel bacterial species CJ51T
and CJ63T
belonging to the genus Chryseobacterium were isolated from the Upo wetland
and the Han River, South Korea, respectively. Cells of these strains were Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, non-motile, rodshaped,
and catalase- and oxidase-positive. Both strains were shown to grow optimally at 30 °C and pH 7 in the absence of
NaCl on tryptic soy agar. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strains CJ51T
and CJ63T
belonged to the genus Chryseobacterium and were most closely related to Chryseobacterium piperi CTMT
and Chryseobacterium
piscicola VQ-6316sT with 98.47% and 98.46% 16S rRNA sequence similarities, respectively. The average nucleotide
identity values of strains CJ51T
and CJ63T
with its closely related type strains Chryseobacterium piperi CTMT
and Chryseobacterium
piscicola VQ-6316sT were 81.9% and 82.1%, respectively. The major fatty acids of strains CJ51T
and CJ63T
were iso-C15:0, iso-C17:0 3-OH and summed feature 9 (
C16:0 10-methyl and/or iso-C17:1ω9c). Menaquinone 6 (MK-6) was
identified as the primary respiratory quinone in both strains. The major polar lipids of strains CJ51T
and CJ63T
were phosphatidylethanolamine
and several unidentified amino lipids and lipids. Based on polyphasic taxonomy data, strains CJ51T
and CJ63T
represent novel species of the genus Chryseobacterium, for which names Chryseobacterium paludis sp. nov. and
Chryseobacterium foetidum sp. nov. are proposed respectively. The type strains are CJ51T
(= KACC 22749T
= JCM 35632T)
and CJ63T
(= KACC 22750T
= JCM 35633T).

Abstract
-
Vibrio vulnificus MO6-24/O has three genes annotated as
debranching enzymes or pullulanase genes. Among them,
the gene encoded by VVMO6_03032 (vvde1) shares a higher
similarity at the amino acid sequence level to the glycogen
debranching enzymes, AmyX of Bacillus subtilis (40.5%) and
GlgX of Escherichia coli (55.5%), than those encoded by the
other two genes. The vvde1 gene encoded a protein with a molecular
mass of 75.56 kDa and purified Vvde1 efficiently hydrolyzed
glycogen and pullulan to shorter chains of maltodextrin
and maltotriose (G3), respectively. However, it hydrolyzed
amylopectin and soluble starch far less efficiently,
and β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) only rarely. The optimal pH and
temperature of Vvde1 was 6.5 and 25°C, respectively. Vvde1
was a cold-adapted debranching enzyme with more than 60%
residual activity at 5°C. It could maintain stability for 2 days
at 25°C and 1 day at 35°C, but it destabilized drastically at
40°C. The Vvde1 activity was inhibited considerably by Cu2+,
Hg2+, and Zn2+, while it was slightly enhanced by Co2+, Ca2+,
Ni2+, and Fe2+. The vvde1 knock-out mutant accumulated more
glycogen than the wild-type in media supplemented with 1.0%
maltodextrin; however, the side chain length distribution of
glycogen was similar to that of the wild-type except G3, which
was much more abundant in the mutant. Therefore, Vvde1
seemed to debranch glycogen with the degree of polymerization
3 (DP3) as the specific target branch length. Virulence
of the pathogen against Caenorhabditis elegans was attenuated
significantly by the vvde1 mutation. These results suggest
that Vvde1 might be a unique glycogen debranching enzyme
that is involved in both glycogen utilization and shaping of
glycogen molecules, and contributes toward virulence of the
pathogen.

Abstract
-
Methanogens are an important biogenic source of methane,
especially in estuarine waters across a river-to-sea gradient.
However, the diversity and trophic strategy of methanogens
in this gradient are not clear. In this study, the diversity and
trophic strategy of methanogens in sediments across the
Yellow River (YR) to the Bohai Sea (BS) gradient were investigated
by high-throughput sequencing based on the 16S
rRNA gene. The results showed that the diversity of methanogens
in sediments varied from multitrophic communities
in YR samples to specific methylotrophic communities in BS
samples. The methanogenic community in YR samples was
dominated by Methanosarcina, while that of BS samples was
dominated by methylotrophic Methanococcoides. The distinct
methanogens suggested that the methanogenic community
of BS sediments did not originate from YR sediment
input. High-throughput sequencing of the mcrA gene revealed
that active Methanococcoides dominated in the BS enrichment
cultures with trimethylamine as the substrate, and methylotrophic
Methanolobus dominated in the YR enrichment
cultures, as detected to a limited amount in in situ sediment
samples. Methanosarcina were also detected in this gradient
sample. Furthermore, the same species of Methanosarcina
mazei, which was widely distributed, was isolated from the
area across a river-to-sea gradient by the culture-dependent
method
. In summary, our results showed that a distribution
of diverse methanogens across a river-to-sea gradient may
shed light on adaption strategies and survival mechanisms
in methanogens.

Abstract
-
A non-motile, yellow-pigmented bacterial strain, designated
IMCC34762T, was isolated from a freshwater sample collected
from Lake Cheongpyeong in Korea. Phylogenetic analysis
based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain IMCC-
34762T formed a lineage within the genus Flavobacterium
and was most closely related to F. pectinovorum DSM 6368T
(98.3% sequence similarity), followed by F. piscis CCUG
60099T (98.3%), F. branchiicola 59B-3-09T (98.2%), and F.
saccharophilum DSM 1811T (98.2%). The average nucleotide
identity and the genome-to-genome distance between strain
IMCC34762T and the closely related strains were 61–62%
and 26–27%, respectively, indicating that IMCC34762T is a
novel species of the genus Flavobacterium. The major fatty
acids (> 5%) of strain IMCC34762T were summed feature 3
(C16:1 ω6c and/or C16:1 ω7c, 17.3%), iso-C15:0 (15.0%), iso-C15:0
G (9.0%), C15:0 ω6c (7.4%), iso-C15:0 (7.4%), and iso-C16:0 (5.3%).
The major respiratory quinone and polyamine were MK-6 and
sym-homospermidine, respectively. The major polar lipids
were phosphatidylethanolamine, an unidentified aminophospholipid,
and an unidentified lipid. The DNA G+C content
of strain IMCC34762T was 34.4 mol%. Based on the taxonomic
data presented in this study, strain IMCC34762T represents
a novel species within the genus Flavobacterium, for which
the name Flavobacterium aquariorum, sp. nov. is proposed.
The type strain is IMCC34762T (= KACC 19725T = NBRC
113425T).

Abstract
-
The patterns of macrobiota in lotic ecosystems have been
extensively explored, however, the dynamics of microbiota
remain poorly investigated, especially in the high-elevation
region. To address this deficit, we collected eight samples to
unveil the bacterial and archaeal community in the Kaidu
river, located at the arid region of northwestern China (an
average of 2,500 m a.s.l.). For the bacterial community, phylogenetically
Betaproteobacteria prevailed, followed by Alphaproteobacteria
and Actinobacteria; at the finer genus level,
Limnohabitans and Variovorax were prominent. Along the
river, the bacterial community showed a continuous succession.
Specifically, their α- and β-diversity gradually increased,
suggesting a distance-decay pattern. Additionally, there was
an ecological transition between the dominant and the rare
sub-community along the river: the relative abundance of the
dominant members gradually decreased as the rare members
increased. We report that temperature and spatial distance
were significantly related to the variation of bacterial community.
Variance partitioning analysis showed that the environmental
factors contributed more to the bacterial community
than did the spatial distance. In the case of the archaeal
community, the methanogenic groups, mainly Methanosaeta
and Methanosarcina, were prominent within the Kaidu
river. Unlike the continuous change in the patterns of the
bacterial community, the archaeal community showed a constant
pattern along the river. Our results showed that the archaeal
community was independent of the environmental and
spatial factors. We propose that the inoculation of soil-derived
archaea is responsible for the archaeal community in
the Kaidu river. Together, our study demonstrated that the
bacterial community in the high-elevation Kaidu river is a
continuum, whereas the archaeal community is not.

Abstract
-
Minerals that contain ferric iron, such as amorphous Fe(III)
oxides (A), can inhibit methanogenesis by competitively accepting
electrons. In contrast, ferric iron reduced products,
such as magnetite (M), can function as electrical conductors
to stimulate methanogenesis, however, the processes and effects
of magnetite production and transformation in the methanogenic
consortia are not yet known. Here we compare the
effects on methanogenesis of amorphous Fe (III) oxides (A)
and magnetite (M) with ethanol as the electron donor. RNAbased
terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism
with a clone library was used to analyse both bacterial and
archaeal communities. Iron (III)-reducing bacteria including
Geobacteraceae and methanogens such as Methanosarcina
were enriched in iron oxide-supplemented enrichment cultures
for two generations with ethanol as the electron donor.
The enrichment cultures with A and non-Fe (N) dominated
by the active bacteria belong to Veillonellaceae, and archaea
belong to Methanoregulaceae and Methanobacteriaceae, Methanosarcinaceae
(Methanosarcina mazei), respectively. While
the enrichment cultures with M, dominated by the archaea belong
to Methanosarcinaceae (Methanosarcina barkeri). The
results
also showed that methanogenesis was accelerated in
the transferred cultures with ethanol as the electron donor during
magnetite production from A reduction. Powder X-ray
diffraction analysis indicated that magnetite was generated
from microbial reduction of A and M was transformed into
siderite and vivianite with ethanol as the electron donor. Our
data showed the processes and effects of magnetite production
and transformation in the methanogenic consortia, suggesting
that significantly different effects of iron minerals on
microbial methanogenesis in the iron-rich coastal riverine
environment were present.

Abstract
-
Alluvial aquifers are one of the mainwater resources in
many countries. Iron reduction in alluvial aquifers is often
a major anaerobic process involved in bioremediation or
causing problems, including the release of As trapped in
Fe(III) oxide. We investigated the distribution of potential
iron-reducing bacteria (IRB) in riverine alluvial aquifers
(B1, B3, and B6 sites) at the Mankyeong River, Republic of
Korea. Inactive iron reduction zones, the diversity and abundance
of IRB can be examined using a clone library and
quantitative PCR analysis of 16S rRNA genes. Geobacter
spp. are potential IRB in the iron-reducing zone at the B6
(9 m) site, where high Fe(II) and arsenic (As) concentrations
were observed. At the B3 (16 m) site, where low iron reduction
activity was predicted, a dominant clone (10.6%) was
99% identical in 16S rRNA gene sequence with Rhodoferax
ferrireducens. Although a major clone belonging to Clostridium
spp. was found, possible IRB candidates could not be
unambiguously determined at the B1 (18 m) site. Acanonical
correspondence analysis demonstrated that, among potential
IRB, only the Geobacteraceae were well correlated with Fe(II)
and As concentrations. Our results indicate high environmental
heterogeneity, and thus high spatial variability, in
thedistribution of potential IRB in the riverine alluvial
aquifersnear the Mankyeong River.

Abstract

We aimed to determine the molecular mechanisms of antibiotic resistance in coliforms isolated from ten rivers in northern region of Turkey. A total of 183 isolates were tested for antimicrobial susceptibility by disk diffusion and agar dilution methods. Resistance to ampicillin, streptomycin, trimethoprim, tetracycline, and chloramphenicol was detected in 58%, 51.9%, 24%, 28.4%, and 12.5%, respectively. Twelve (6.5%) phylogenetically distant organisms were detected to harbor self-transmissible plasmids ranging 52 to >147 kb in sizes. Resistances to ampicillin, tetracycline, trimethoprim, streptomycin, and nalidixic acid were commonly transferable traits. Transferable nalidixic acid-resistant strains harbored qnrS gene, which was the first report of plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance in bacteria of environmental origin in Turkey. Fourteen and five coliforms harbored class 1 and class 2 integrons, respectively, and some of them were located on transferable plasmids. Sequence analyses of variable regions of the class 1 and 2 integrons harbored various gene cassettes, dfrA1, dfr2d, dfrA7, dfrA16, dfrA17, aadA1, aadA5, blaOXA-30, and sat1. A gene cassette array, dfrA16 has been demonstrated for the first time in a Citrobacter koseri isolate. Class 1 and class 2-bearing strains were clustered in different groups by BOX-PCR fingerprinting. Rivers in the northern Turkey may act as receptacle for the multi-drug resistant enterobacteria and can serve as reservoirs of the antimicrobial resistance determinants in the environment. The actual risk to public health is the transfer of resistance genes from the environmental bacteria to human pathogens.

Abstract
-
From water samples collected monthly between 2000 and 2001 from the Han River in Seoul, sixteen strains of Escherichia coli which confer resistance to at least 10 kinds of antimicrobial agents were isolated. From these isolates, 2 kinds of extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs) and one plasmid-mediated AmpC β-lactamase were detected; CTX-M-14 from 10 isolates, TEM-52 from 5 isolates, and CMY-1 from one isolate. Class 1 integron gene cassettes, such as aadA1, dfr12-orfF-aadA2, and dfr17-aadA5, were also detected and the integrons are the same as those found in E. coli isolated from swine, poultry, and humans in Korea. The result of this study indicated the importance of river water as a reservoir for antimicrobial resistance genes and resistant bacteria.
