RESUMO
A Gram-negative, aerobic, slightly yellow-pigmented bacterium, designated as SKLS-A10T, was isolated from groundwater sample of the 'Siklós' petroleum hydrocarbon contaminated site (Hungary). Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequence revealed that strain SKLS-A10T formed a distinct phyletic lineage within the genus Sphingobium. It shared the highest 16S rRNA gene homology with Sphingobium abikonense DSM 23268T (97.29â%), followed by Sphingobium lactosutens DSM 23389T (97.23â%), Sphingobium phenoxybenzoativorans KCTC 42448T (97.16â%) and Sphingobium subterraneum NBRC 109814T (96.74â%). The predominant fatty acids (>5â% of the total) are C18â:â1ω7c, C14â:â0 2-OH, C16â:â1ω7c/iso C15â:â0 2-OH, C17â:â1ω6c and C16â:â0. The major ubiquinone is Q-10. The predominant polyamine is spermidine. The major polar lipids are sphingoglycolipid and diphosphatidylglycerol. The DNA G+C content of strain SKLS-A10T is 65.9 mol%. On the basis of evidence from this taxonomic study using a polyphasic approach, strain SKLS-A10T represents a novel species of the genus Sphingobium for which the name Sphingobiumaquiterrae sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is SKLS-A10T (=DSM 106441T=NCAIM B. 02634T).

A new betaproteobacterium, CGII-59m2T, was isolated from an activated sludge bioreactor which treated landfill leachate. The 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis revealed that strain CGII-59m2T belonged to the family Alcaligenaceae and shared the highest pairwise similarity values with Parapusillimonas granuli LMG 24012T (97.7â%), various species of the genus Bordetella (97.3-97.0â%) and Candidimonas nitroreducens LMG 24812T (97.0â%). Cells of strain CGII-59m2T were rod-shaped, non-motile, and oxidase- and catalase-positive. The predominant fatty acids were C16â:â1ω7c, C16â:â0, cyclo C17â:â0 and C18â:â1ω7c, the major respiratory quinone was Q-8, and the main polar lipids were phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, diphosphatidylglycerol and an unknown phospholipid. The G+C content of the genomic DNA of strain CGII-59m2T was 62.3 mol%. The new bacterium can be distinguished from the closely related type strains based on its non-motile cells and its high C16â:â1ω7c fatty acid content. On the basis of the phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and molecular data, strain CGII-59m2T is considered to represent a novel species of a new genus, for which the name Caenimicrobium hargitense gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is CGII-59m2T (=DSM 29806T=NCAIM B.02615T).

A Gram-stain-positive, strictly aerobic, mesophilic bacterium, designated H004T, was isolated from a water sample of the hypersaline and heliothermal Lake Ursu, Sovata, Romania. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strain H004T formed a distinct phyletic lineage within the genus Rhodococcus. It shared the highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity with Rhodococcus yunnanensis YIM 70056T (98.80â%), followed by Rhodococcus fascians LMG 3623T (98.73â%), Rhodococcus cercidiphylli YIM 65003T (98.73â%), Rhodococcus cerastii C5T (98.58 %) and Rhodococcus kyotonensis DS472T (98.53 %). The alkB-based phylogenetic analysis further confirmed that this strain constitutes a highly unique lineage within the genus. Chemotaxonomic characteristics, including the predominant fatty acids acids C15â:â0, C18â:â1ω9c, C19â:â1ω11c/C19â:â1ω9c and C16â:â1ω7c/iso-C15â:â0 2-OH, the major quinone MK-8(H2), the presence of mycolic acids and cell-wall chemotype IV were also consistent with the properties of members of the genus Rhodococcus. The DNA G+C content of strain H004T was 65.4 mol%. The results of DNA-DNA hybridization analyses with the closest relatives, in combination with the alkB-based phylogenetic analysis, as well as the chemotaxonomic and physiological data, demonstrated that isolate H004T represents a novel species of the genus Rhodococcus, for which the name Rhodococcus sovatensissp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is H004T (=DSM 102881T=NCAIM B.02632T).

A strain designated PYM3-14T was isolated from the drinking water network of Budapest (Hungary) and was studied by polyphasic taxonomic methods. The straight-rod-shaped cells stained Gram-negative, were aerobic and non-motile. Phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain PYM3-14T revealed a clear affiliation with members of the family Xanthomonadaceae within the class Gammaproteobacteria. The 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain PYM3-14T showed the closest sequence similarities to Arenimonas daechungensis CH15-1T (96.2 %), Arenimonas oryziterrae YC6267T (95.2 %) and Lysobacter brunescens UASM DT (94.4 %). The DNA G+C content of strain PYM3-14T, measured by two different methods (52.0 mol% and 55.9 mol%, respectively), was much lower than that of any member of the genus Arenimonas. The predominant fatty acids (>8 %) were iso-C16:0, iso-C15:0, iso-C14:0, iso-C17:1ω9c and C16:1ω7c alcohol. Strain PYM3-14T contained Q-8 as the major ubiquinone and phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, diphosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylmonomethylethanolamine as the major polar lipids. According to phenotypic and genotypic data strain PYM3-14T represents a novel species of the genus Arenimonas, for which the name Arenimonas subflava sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is PYM3-14T ( = NCAIM B 02508T = DSM 25526T). On the basis of new data obtained in this study, an emended description of the genus Arenimonas is also proposed.

A novel bacterium, PB3-7B(T), was isolated on phenol-supplemented inorganic growth medium from a laboratory-scale wastewater purification system that treated coke plant effluent. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis revealed that strain PB3-7B(T) belonged to the family Alcaligenaceae and showed the highest pairwise sequence similarity to Parapusillimonas granuli Ch07(T) (97.5%), Candidimonas bauzanensis BZ59(T) (97.3%) and Pusillimonas noertemannii BN9(T) (97.2%). Strain PB3-7B(T) was rod-shaped, motile and oxidase- and catalase-positive. The predominant fatty acids were C(16â:â0), C(17â:â0) cyclo, C(19â:â0) cyclo ω8c and C(14â:â0) 3-OH, and the major respiratory quinone was Q-8. The G+C content of the genomic DNA of strain PB3-7B(T) was 59.7 mol%. The novel bacterium can be distinguished from closely related type strains based on its urease activity and the capacity for assimilation of glycerol and amygdalin.

A Gram-staining-negative, rod-shaped and motile bacterium, designated strain ERB1-3(T), was isolated from a laboratory-scale activated sludge system treating coke plant effluent using thiocyanate-supplemented growth medium. Strain ERB1-3(T) was oxidase-positive and weakly catalase-positive. The predominant fatty acids were C18:1ω7c (35.6â%) and C17:1ω6c (29.2%), and the major respiratory quinone was Q-10. Polar lipids were dominated by sphingoglycolipid and phosphatidylglycerol. Major polyamines were spermidine and sym-homospermidine. The G+C content of the genomic DNA of strain ERB1-3(T) was 66.4 mol%. Based on the 16S rRNA gene, strain ERB1-3(T) exhibited the highest sequence similarity values to Sphingomonas sanxanigenens DSM 19645(T) (96.1%), Sphingobium scionense DSM 19371(T) (95.1%) and Stakelama pacifica LMG 24686(T) (94.8%) within the family Sphingomonadaceae. The novel isolate had some unique chemotaxonomic features that differentiated it from these closely related strains, contained much more C17â:â1ω6c, C15â:â0 2-OH, C17:0 and C17:1ω8c fatty acids and possessed diphosphatidylglycerol only in trace amounts. On the basis of the phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and molecular data, strain ERB1-3(T) is considered to represent a novel genus and species, for which the name Hephaestia caeni gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is ERB1-3(T) (â=âDSM 25527(T)â=âNCAIM B 02511(T)).

The effect of vertical physico-chemical stratification on the planktonic microbial community composition of the deep, hypersaline and heliothermal Lake Ursu (Sovata, Romania) was examined in this study. On site and laboratory measurements were performed to determine the physical and chemical variables of the lake water, and culture-based and cultivation-independent techniques were applied to identify the members of microbial communities. The surface of the lake was characterized by a low salinity water layer while the deepest region was extremely saline (up to 300 g/L salinity). Many parameters (e.g. photosynthetically active radiation, dissolved oxygen concentration, pH, redox potential) changed dramatically from 2 to 4 m below the water surface in conjunction with the increasing salinity values. The water temperature reached a maximum at this depth. At around 3 m depth, there was a water layer with high (bacterio) chlorophyll content dominated by Prosthecochloris vibrioformis, a phototrophic green sulfur bacterium. Characteristic microbial communities with various prokaryotic taxa were identified along the different environmental parameters present in the different water layers. Some of these bacteria were known to be heterotrophic and therefore may be involved in the decomposition of lake organic material (e.g. Halomonas, Idiomarina and Pseudoalteromonas) while others in the transformation of sulfur compounds (e.g. Prosthecochloris). Eukaryotic microorganisms identified by molecular methods in the lake water belonged to genera of green algae (Mantionella and Picochlorum), and were restricted mainly to the upper layers.

Lake Red is one of the saline lakes which were formed as a consequence of salt massif dissolution at the foot of the Gurghiu Mountains (Central Romania) at the end of the nineteenth century. The lake water had approximately 15 % w/v salt content. Phylogenetic diversity of prokaryotes inhabiting the water and sediment of the lake was studied using cultivation and cultivation-independent methods following a sampling in spring 2009. According to the results of 16S rRNA gene-based denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE), the richness of Bacteria was higher than Archaea on the basis of the number and position of dominant bands in the gel. Sequences from DGGE bands were affiliated with Gammaproteobacteria (Halomonas and Alkalilimnicola) and Bacteroidetes (Psychroflexus) as well as Euryarchaeota. Cultivation from five different saline media resulted in 101 bacterial strains of which Gammaproteobacteria (Halomonas, Marinobacter and Salinivibrio) were the most abundant. Firmicutes (Bacillus) and Alphaproteobacteria (Aurantimonas and Roseovarius) were also identified among the isolated strains. The 16S rRNA genes from 82 bacterial and 95 archaeal clones were also phylogenetically analyzed. Bacterial clones were related to various genera of Gammaproteobacteria (Alkalilimnicola, Alkalispirillum, Arhodomonas, Halomonas, Saccharospirillum), Bacteroidetes (Gracilimonas, Psychroflexus) and Alphaproteobacteria (Oceanicola, Roseinatronobacter, Roseovarius). All of the archaeal clones sequenced corresponded to a homologous cluster affiliated with Halopelagius.

Numerous quantitative PCR assays for microbial fecal source tracking (MST) have been developed and evaluated in recent years. Widespread application has been hindered by a lack of knowledge regarding the geographical stability and hence applicability of such methods beyond the regional level. This study assessed the performance of five previously reported quantitative PCR assays targeting human-, cattle-, or ruminant-associated Bacteroidetes populations on 280 human and animal fecal samples from 16 countries across six continents. The tested cattle-associated markers were shown to be ruminant-associated. The quantitative distributions of marker concentrations in target and nontarget samples proved to be essential for the assessment of assay performance and were used to establish a new metric for quantitative source-specificity. In general, this study demonstrates that stable target populations required for marker-based MST occur around the globe. Ruminant-associated marker concentrations were strongly correlated with total intestinal Bacteroidetes populations and with each other, indicating that the detected ruminant-associated populations seem to be part of the intestinal core microbiome of ruminants worldwide. Consequently tested ruminant-targeted assays appear to be suitable quantitative MST tools beyond the regional level while the targeted human-associated populations seem to be less prevalent and stable, suggesting potential for improvements in human-targeted methods.

A Gram-stain-negative, rod-shaped bacterium (strain K-39(T)) was isolated from the thermophilic phase of the composting process for oyster mushroom substrate preparation. The strain grew at 40-80 °C (optimum, 65-75 °C), at pH 5-9 (optimum, pH 7), in media containing up to 1.5% (w/v) NaCl. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain K-39(T) formed a distinct lineage within the genus Thermus. Its closest cultivated relative was Thermus islandicus PRI 3838(T) (96.8% similarity). The DNA G+C content of strain K-39(T) was 71.3 mol%. The new strain could be differentiated from the related taxa by not being able to hydrolyse starch. The predominant fatty acids of strain K-39(T) were iso-C(17:0) and anteiso-C(17:0). Strain K-39(T) contained a lower amount of the fatty acid iso-C(15:0) as compared to related species of the genus Thermus. The predominant respiratory quinone of the new isolate was menaquinone MK-8. On the basis of a taxonomic study using a polyphasic approach, strain K-39(T) is considered to represent a novel species of the genus Thermus, for which the name Thermus composti sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is K-39(T) (=DSM 21686(T)=NCAIM B 02340(T)).

Eudiaptomus gracilis is the most abundant member of the zooplankton, plays a key role in the food web of Lake Balaton (Hungary). In the present study the composition of bacterial communities of this copepod was investigated based on cultivation and molecular cloning. The cultivated bacterial strains from the gut homogenate samples of Eudiaptomus gracilis belonged to four different clades: Firmicutes, Actinobacteria, Bacteriodetes and Proteobacteria. Clone library showed high species diversity, Firmicutes, Actinobacteria, Proteobacteria, representatives of Deinococcus-Thermus lineage and Cyanobacteria were detected. The isolated strains were very effective in degradation of different biopolymers. Many of the detected bacteria are known as opportunistic human or fish pathogens (Pseudomonas spp., Aeromonas spp., Chryseobacterium sp. and Staphylococcus sp.).

Three Gram-positive, rod-shaped bacterial strains were isolated from the drinking water supply system of the Hungarian capital, Budapest. Phylogenetic analysis on the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence comparison revealed that the isolates represented a distinct cluster within the clade of the genus Nocardioides and were most closely related to Nocardioides pyridinolyticus OS4(T), Nocardioides aquiterrae GW-9(T), Nocardioides sediminis MSL-01(T) and N. hankookensis DS-30(T). The peptidoglycan based on LL-2,6-diaminopimelic acid, the major menaquinone MK-8(H4), the cellular fatty acid profile with iso-C16:0 and anteiso-C17:0 as predominating components and the DNA G+C content of 71.4 mol% (strain 1RaM5-12(T)) were consistent with the affiliation of the isolates to the genus Nocardioides. Because of differences in physiological characteristics, matrix-assisted laser-desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectra of protein extracts, PvuII RiboPrinter patterns and 96.1â% 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity between strain 1RaM5-12(T) and its closest phylogenetic neighbour, N. pyridinolyticus OS4(T), a novel species, Nocardioides hungaricus sp. nov., is proposed. The type strain is 1RaM5-12(T) (=DSM 21673(T) =NCAIM 02330(T)).

Alkaliphilic strains characterized by optimal growth at pH 9.0 and 5 % (w/v) NaCl designated K1-25(T) and H3-93 were isolated from extremely shallow soda ponds located in Hungary. Cells of both strains were Gram-stain-positive, non-motile, straight rods and formed central, ellipsoidal endospores with swollen sporangia. The isolates were aerobic, catalase-positive, oxidase-negative and contained a peptidoglycan of type A1γ based on meso-diaminopimelic acid. In both strains, menaquinone-7 (MK-7) was the predominant isoprenoid quinone and the major cellular fatty acids were anteiso-C(15 : 0) and iso-C(15 : 0). The DNA G+C contents of strains K1-25(T) and H3-93 were 39.0 and 36.3 mol%, respectively. 16S rRNA gene sequence-based phylogenetic analysis revealed 99.2 % similarity between strains K1-25(T) and H3-93 and the novel isolates had the highest similarities to Bacillus akibai 1139(T) (97.8 and 98.3 %, respectively), Bacillus wakoensis N-1(T) (97.0 and 97.4 %), Bacillus okhensis Kh10-101(T) (97.1 and 97.4 %) and Bacillus krulwichiae AM31D(T) (96.9 and 97.1 %). DNA-DNA hybridization between our strains and the type strains of closely related Bacillus species was lower than 70 %. Although DNA-DNA hybridization between strains K1-25(T) and H3-93 was 27 %, the phenotypic and chemotaxonomic data did not support the differentiation of these two strains into separate species.

An alkalitolerant and moderately halophilic strain, designated KB23(T), characterized by optimal growth at pH 8.0-9.0 and in the presence of 5-7â% (w/v) NaCl, was isolated from a reed (Phragmites australis) periphyton sample originating from an extremely shallow, alkaline soda pond located in Hungary. Cells of strain KB23(T) were Gram-stain-positive, motile straight rods. Strain KB23(T) was facultatively anaerobic, catalase-positive, oxidase-negative and contained peptidoglycan type A4ß (L-Orn-D-Asp). MK-9(H4) was the predominant isoprenoid quinone and anteiso-C(15â:â0), C(16â:â0) and anteiso-C(15â:â1) were the major cellular fatty acids. The DNA G+C content of strain KB23(T) was 74.8 mol%. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that this strain belongs to the genus Cellulomonas and that it is related most closely to Cellulomonas flavigena DSM 20109(T) (97.35â% similarity), Cellulomonas terrae DB5(T) (96.81â%), Cellulomonas iranensis O(T) (96.75), Cellulomonas chitinilytica X.bu-b(T) (96.60â%), Cellulomonas persica I(T) (96.53â%), Cellulomonas composti TR7-06(T) (96.45â%), Cellulomonas biazotea DSM 20112(T) (96.34â%) and Cellulomonas fimi DSM 20113(T) (96.20â%). According to these results, together with DNA-DNA hybridization and physiological data, strain KB23(T) is considered to represent a novel species of the genus Cellulomonas, for which the name Cellulomonas phragmiteti sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is KB23(T) (â=âDSM 22512(T) â=âNCAIM B002303(T)).

A Gram-negative-staining, short-rod-shaped, floc-forming bacterium, designated strain RB3-7(T), was isolated from a laboratory-scale activated sludge system treating coke plant effluent. Comparative analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence demonstrated that the novel isolate was distantly related (≤ 95.8â% similarity) to Ottowia thiooxydans K11(T) within the family Comamonadaceae. Strain RB3-7(T) was catalase- and oxidase-positive and non-motile. The predominant fatty acids were C16:0, cyclo C17:0, C18:1ω7c and C16:1ω7c, and the major respiratory quinone was Q-8. The G+C content of the genomic DNA of strain RB3-7(T) was 68.5 mol%. On the basis of phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and molecular data, strain RB3-7(T) is considered to represent a novel species of the genus Ottowia, for which the name Ottowia pentelensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is RB3-7(T) (â=âDSM 21699(T)â=âNCAIM B 02336(T)).

A novel, cheap and easy to use method has been developed to measure low gas yields in bioreactors, based on the principle of bubble counting via digital imaging techniques and pattern recognition. No external hardware control is required for the measurements, and the device can be turned into a multichannel tool without further detector accessories. The method proved to perform outstandingly according to the testing and calibrating measurements against standard gas flow and revealed a short periodicity in the gas yields of two parallel laboratory-scale mesophilic biogas reactors providing well analysable data about them. For exact characterization of the oscillation, the data were converted into Morell wavelet spectra, which showed that every feeding period had a characteristic and similarly shaped wavelet profile, thereby this rhythm must have had an immanent source in the community metabolism, and it was not an artefact.

A Gram-negative bacterium, designated P2(T), was isolated from the biofilm developed on the inner surface of an ultrapure cooling water system in a Hungarian power plant and was characterized by a polyphasic approach. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strain P2(T) was affiliated with the family 'Flexibacteraceae' in the phylum Bacteroidetes. Its closest relative was Flectobacillus lacus CL-GP79(T) (88.7â% 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity) followed by Arcicella rosea TW5(T) (86.5â%), Arcicella aquatica NO-502(T) (86.4â%), Flectobacillus roseus GFA-11(T) (86.3â%) and Flectobacillus major DSM 103(T) (85.4â%). Cells of strain P2(T) were facultatively anaerobic, non-motile rods. The major fatty acids were C(16â:â1)ω5c (42.5â%), iso-C(15â:â0) 2-OH (17.2â%), iso-C(17â:â0) 3-OH (16.1â%) and iso-C(15â:â0) (8.5â%). The major menaquinone was MK-7 and the predominant polar lipid was phosphatidylethanolamine. The DNA G+C content was 54.5 mol%. Thus, the phenotypic and genotypic analyses clearly showed that strain P2(T) is considerably different from members of other genera in the family 'Flexibacteraceae'. Based on these results, it is concluded that strain P2(T) represents a novel species in a new genus, for which the name Siphonobacter aquaeclarae gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed, with type strain P2(T) (=DSM 21668(T) =NCAIM B 02328(T)).
