RESUMO
Nine novel strains were obtained from various algal and seagrass samples. The analysis of the 16S rRNA gene-based phylogenetic tree revealed monophyletic placement of all novel strains within the Rhodopirellula genus. The type strain was identified as JC737T, which shared 99.1 % 16S rRNA gene sequence identity with Rhodopirellula baltica SH1T, while strain JC740 was designated as an additional strain. The genome sizes of strains JC737T and JC740 were 6.6 and 6.7 Mb, respectively, and the G + C content was 56.2 %. The strains cladded distinctly in the phylogenomic tree, and the ANI and dDDH values of the strain JC737T were 75.8-76.1 % and 20.8-21.3 %, respectively, in comparison to other Rhodopirellula members. The strain demonstrated a versatile degradation capability, exhibiting a diverse array of complex polysaccharides, including mucin which had not been previously identified within the members of the phylum Planctomycetota. The phylogenomic, pan-genomic, morphological, physiological, and genomic characterization of the strain lead to the proposal to describe the strain as Rhodopirellula halodulae sp. nov.

RESUMO
Six metagenome-assembled genomes (JB008Ts, JB007, JB015, JB003, JB004, and JB002) belonging to the order Spirochaetales were generated from seaweed samples collected from the Gulf of Mannar, India. The binned genomes JB008Ts and JB007 shared highest 16S rRNA gene identity of 94.9 % and 92.2-93.4 %, respectively with uncultivated Spirochaetaceae family members, and < 90 % identity with Marispirochaeta aestuari JC444T. While, the bin JB015 showed 99.1 % identity with Pleomorphochaeta naphthae SEBR 4209T. The phylogenomic and 16S rRNA gene-based phylogenetic analysis of the binned genomes JB007 and JB008Ts confirmed that these members belong to the family Spirochaetaceae and bins JB015, JB002, JB003, and JB004 belong to the genus Pleomorphochaeta within the family Sphaerochaetaceae. The AAI values of the binned genomes JB007 and JB008Ts compared to other members of the Spirochaetaceae family were between 53.9- 56.8 % and 53.8-57.1 %, respectively. Furthermore, the comparison of ANI, dDDH, and POCP metrics of the binned genomes JB007 and JB008Ts, both among themselves and with the members of Spirochaetaceae, was also below the suggested thresholds for genera delineation. Consequently, the binned genome JB008Ts is proposed as a new genus according to the guidelines of code of nomenclature of prokaryotes described from sequence data (SeqCode) with the name Thalassospirochaeta sargassi gen. nov. sp. nov., in the family Spirochaetaceae while the bin JB007 could not be proposed as novel taxa due to low-quality estimates. The bin JB015 and its additional genomes form a distinct clade, but their taxonomic status remains ambiguous due to the absence of genomic evidence from other Pleomorphochaeta members.

Two cream-coloured strains (JC732T, JC733) of Gram-stain negative, mesophilic, catalase and oxidase positive, aerobic bacteria which divide by budding, form crateriform structures, and cell aggregates were isolated from marine habitats of Andaman and Nicobar Islands, India. Both strains had genome size of 7.1 Mb and G + C content of 58.9%. Both strains showed highest 16S rRNA gene-based similarity with Blastopirellula retiformator Enr8T (98.7%). Strains JC732T and JC733 shared 100% identity of 16S rRNA gene and genome sequences. The coherence of both strains with the genus Blastopirellula was supported by the 16S rRNA gene based and the phylogenomic trees. Further, the chemo-taxonomic characters and the genome relatedness indices [ANI (82.4%), AAI (80.4%) and dDDH (25.2%)] also support the delineation at the species level. Both strains have the capability to degrade chitin and genome analysis shows the ability to fix N2. Based on the phylogenetic, phylogenomic, comparative genomic, morphological, physiological, and biochemical characteristics, strain JC732T is described as a new species of the genus Blastopirellula for which the name Blastopirellula sediminis sp. nov. is proposed, with strain JC733 as an additional strain.

Anoxygenic photosynthetic bacteria (APB) are metabolically versatile, capable of surviving with an extended range of carbon and nitrogen sources. This group of phototrophic bacteria have remarkable metabolic plasticity in utilizing an array of organic compounds as carbon source/electron donors and nitrogen sources with sophisticated growth modes. Rubrivivax benzoatilyticus JA2 is one such photosynthetic bacterium utilizes L-tryptophan as nitrogen source under phototrophic growth mode and produces an array of indolic compounds of biotechnological significance. However, chemotrophic L-tryptophan metabolism is largely unexplored and studying L-tryptophan metabolism under chemotrophic mode would provide new insights into metabolic potential of strain JA2. In the present study, we employed stable-isotopes assisted metabolite profiling to unravel the L-tryptophan catabolism in Rubrivivax benzoatilyticus strain JA2 under chemotrophic (dark aerobic) conditions. Utilization of L-tryptophan as a nitrogen source for growth and simultaneous production of indole derivatives was observed in strain JA2. Liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (LC-MS) analysis of exo-metabolite profiling of carbon labeled L-tryptophan (13C11) fed cultures of strain JA2 revealed at least seventy labeled metabolites. Of these, only fourteen metabolites were confirmed using standards, while sixteen were putative and forty metabolites remained unidentified. L-tryptophan chemotrophic catabolism revealed multiple catabolic pathways and distinct differential catabolism of L-tryptophan under chemotropic state as compared to photo-catabolism of L-tryptophan in strain JA2.

The members of the genus Alcanivorax are key players in the removal of petroleum hydrocarbons from polluted marine environments. More than half of the species were described in the last decade using 16S rRNA gene phylogeny and genomic-based metrics. However, the 16S rRNA gene identity (<94â%) between some members of the genus Alcanivorax suggested their imprecise taxonomic status. In this study, we examined the taxonomic positions of Alcanivorax species using 16S rRNA phylogeny and further validated them using phylogenomic-related indexes such as digital DNA-DNA hybridization (dDDH), average nucleotide identity (ANI), average amino acid identity (AAI), percentage of conserved proteins (POCP) and comparative genomic studies. ANI and dDDH values confirmed that all the Alcanivorax species were well described at the species level. The phylotaxogenomic analysis showed that Alcanivorax species formed three clades. The inter-clade values of AAI and POCP were less than 70â%. The pan-genome evaluation depicted that the members shared 1223 core genes and its number increased drastically when analysed clade-wise. Therefore, these results necessitate the transfer of clade II and clade III members into Isoalcanivorax gen. nov. and Alloalcanivorax gen. nov., respectively, along with the emended description of the genus Alcanivorax sensu stricto.

The current genus Rhodopirellula consists of marine bacteria which belong to the family Pirellulaceae of the phylum Planctomycetota. Members of the genus Rhodopirellula are aerobic, mesophiles and chemoheterotrophs. The here conducted analysis built on 16S rRNA gene sequence and multi-locus sequence analysis based phylogenomic trees suggested that the genus is subdivided into four clades. Existing Rhodopirellula species were studied extensively based on phenotypic, genomic and chemotaxonomic parameters. The heterogeneity was further confirmed by overall genome-related indices (OGRI) including digital DNA-DNA hybridization (dDDH), average nucleotide identity (ANI), average amino acid identity (AAI), and percentage of conserved proteins (POCP). AAI and POCP values between the clades of the genus Rhodopirellula were 62.2-69.6% and 49.5-62.5%, respectively. Comparative genomic approaches like pan-genome analysis and conserved signature indels (CSIs) also support the division of the clades. The genomic incoherence of the members of the genus is further supported by variations in phenotypic characteristics. Thus, with the here applied integrated comparative genomic and polyphasic approaches, we propose the reclassification of the genus Rhodopirellula to three new genera: Aporhodopirellula gen. nov., Allorhodopirellula gen. nov., and Neorhodopirellula gen. nov.

Axenic cultures of two strains, JC673T and JC717, both belonging to the phylum Planctomycetota, were isolated from distinct geographical locations in India. Strain JC673T was obtained from algal mats of a wetland situated in the state of Kerala, India, while strain JC717 originated from the Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute (CMFRI), state of Tamil Nadu, India. The two strains share 99.9% 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity and are most closely related to Gemmata obscuriglobus UQM 2246T (99.3% 16S rRNA gene sequence identity). The newly isolated strains are Gram-negative, grow aerobically and tolerate up to 4% (w/v) NaCl and a pH of up to 9.0. Cells are spherical and form pink-pigmented colonies. The respiratory quinone is MK-6. Major fatty acids are C18:0, C16:1ω5c and C16:0. Polar lipids include phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine, several unidentified amino lipids, unidentified phospholipids, additional unidentified lipids, and an unidentified choline lipid. The polyamine spermidine is produced by the two strains. The strains have a genome size of about 8.2 Mb with a DNA G+C content of 67.6%. Solvent-based culture extracts of the isolates showed antimicrobial activity against three bacterial test strains. Their phylogenetic position along with differences in morphological, physiological, and genomic features support the classification as a new species of the genus Gemmata, for which we propose the name Gemmata algarum sp. nov. Strain JC673T (=KCTC 72851T = NBRC 114340T) and JC717 are the type and non-type strain of the new species, respectively.

In this study, three metagenome-assembled genomes of a sediment sample were constructed. A Bin1 (JB001) genome was identified as a photo-litho-auto/heterotroph (purple sulfur bacteria) bacterium with the ability to fix nitrogen, tolerate salt, and to produce bacteriochlorophyll a. It has a genome length of 4.1 Mb and a G + C content of 64.9%. Phylogenetic studies based on concatenated 92 core genes and photosynthetic genes (pufLM and bchY) showed that Bin JB001 is related to Thiococcus pfennigii, "Thioflavicoccus mobilis" and to the Lamprocystis purpurea lineage. Bin JB001 and its closely related members were subjected to the genome-based study of phenotypic and phylogenomic analysis. Genomic similarity indices (dDDH and ANI) showed that Bin JB001 could be defined as a novel species. The average amino acid identity (AAI) and percentage of conserved proteins (POCP) values were below 60 and 50%, respectively. The pan-genome analysis indicated that the pan-genome was an open type wherein Bin JB001 had 855 core genes. This study shows that the binned genome, Bin JB001 could represent a novel species of a new genus under the family Chromatiaceae, for which the name "Candidatus Thioaporhodococcus sediminis" gen. nov. sp. nov. is proposed.

RESUMO
Two axenic cultures of Planctomycetota were isolated from distinct geographical locations of India. Strain JC665T was isolated from a rhizosphere soil of Loktak lake, Manipur, whereas strain JC747 was isolated from a soil sediment at Pallikkara village, Kerala, India. The two closely related strains shared the highest 16S rRNA gene sequence identity (94.6%) with Paludisphaera borealis PX4T, while the 16S rRNA gene sequence identity between both strains was 100%. Both strains grow aerobically, stain Gram negative, colonies are light pink-coloured, cells are non-motile, spherical to oval-shaped and tolerate NaCl up to 2% (w/v). While strain JC665T grows well up to pH 9.0, strain JC747 grows only up to pH 8.0. The respiratory quinone in both strains is MK-6. C16:0, C18:1ω9c and C18:0 are the major fatty acids. Phosphatidylcholine, two unidentified glycolipids, seven unidentified lipids and two unidentified phospholipids made up the polar lipid composition of both strains. Both strains have genome sizes of about 8.0 Mb and a DNA G + C content of 66.4 mol%. Both strains contain genes coding for enzymes putatively involved in the production of lycopene-related carotenoids. The phylogenetic position together with the results of the analysis of morphological, physiological and genomic features support the classification of strain JC665T as a new species of the genus Paludisphaera, for which we propose the name Paludisphaera rhizosphaerae sp. nov. Strain JC665T (= KCTC 72671 T = NBRC 114305 T) and JC747 are the type and non-type strain of the new species, respectively.

A pink-coloured, salt- and alkali-tolerant planctomycetal strain (JC658T) with oval to pear-shaped, motile, aerobic, Gram-negative stained cells was isolated from a marine sponge, Pseudoceratina sp. Strain JC658T shares the highest 16S rRNA gene sequence identity with Maioricimonas rarisocia Mal4T (< 89.2%) in the family Planctomycetaceae. The genomic analysis of the new strain indicates its biotechnological potential for the production of various industrially important enzymes, notably sulfatases and carbohydrate-active enzymes (CAZymes), and also potential antimicrobial compounds. Several genes encoding restriction-modification (RM) and CRISPR-CAS systems are also present. NaCl is obligate for growth, of which strain JC658T can tolerate a concentration up to 6% (w/v). Optimum pH and temperature for growth are 8.0 (range 7.0-9.0) and 25 ºC (range 10-40 °C), respectively. The major respiratory quinone of strain JC658T is MK6. Major fatty acids are C16:1ω7c/C16:1ω6c, C18:0 and C16:0. Major polar lipids are phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidyl-dimethylethanolamine and phosphatidyl-monomethylethanolamine. The genomic size of strain JC658T is 7.36 Mb with a DNA G + C content of 54.6 mol%. Based on phylogenetic, genomic (ANI, AAI, POCP, dDDH), chemotaxonomic, physiological and biochemical characteristics, we conclude that strain JC658T belongs to a novel genus and constitutes a novel species within the family Planctomycetaceae, for which we propose the name Thalassoroseus pseudoceratinae gen. nov., sp. nov. The novel species is represented by the type strain JC658T (= KCTC 72881 T = NBRC 114371 T).

Anoxygenic phototrophic bacteria display phenomenal metabolic plasticity leading to distinct phenotypes. Extracellular elevated glucose levels limit photosynthesis in photosynthetic organisms; diversely, cause oxidative stress with ROS generation and "diabetic" like situation in non-photosynthetic organisms. In this study, longer incubations of externally provided glucose (22 mM) inhibited photosynthetic machinery in a phototrophic bacterium, Rubrivivax benzoatilyticus. Data analysis at three time points- exponential, early and late stationary phase, uncovered dynamic protein and metabolite abundance implying metabolic rewiring led non-cultivable state in response to glucose. Protein dynamics datum suggested that proteins related to primary metabolism down-regulated prior to those of secondary metabolism. Numerous proteins for metabolism and energy generation were highly expressed during exponential phase whereas those for membrane transport/translocation and DNA repair accumulated at early and late stationary phase respectively, suggesting a programmed knock-off of phototrophic growth mode and a switch to non-cultivable state. Overall, the omics analyses explicated the metabolic adjustment associated with glucose grown cells of R. benzoatilyticus. Further, our investigation unravelled creation of oxidative stress suggesting physiological stress (oxygen limitation) might be a key player leading to a non-cultivable state in this phototrophic organism. The study, emphasizing microbial glucose intolerance, unlocks the doorway to perceive microorganisms with new perspective. SIGNIFICANCE: Anoxygenic photosynthetic bacteria (APB), thriving under diverse habitat, exhibits magnificent metabolic flexibility. Generally, phototrophy is the preferred growth mode and energy generating route for APB. But, our analyses implicated that the glucose, under phototrophic growth conditions, triggered photobleaching in an APB member, Rubrivivax benzoatilyticus. However, retention of growth along with pigmentation under chemotrophic growth mode supports that glucose gradually knocked off the phototrophic growth mode of R. benzoatilyticus and switched to an alternate energy driving route or less energy demanding non-cultivabile state. Thus, the change in lifestyle i.e. photoheterotrophic growth instead of chemotrophic perhaps, might be the prime culprit and key player in inducing the said state of non-cultivability, akin to diabetes. The study, shedding light on the plausible regulation of cultivability, unveils the programmed regulated switching between different growth modes of the organism and illuminates the importance of glucose intolerance by microorganisms. Through this investigation, we appeal that the studies on 'glucose intolerance in microorganisms' also need due attention that will perhaps change our outlook to perceive micro-organisms in relation to their physiological life style.

The genus Roseomonas is a significant group of bacteria which is invariably of great clinical and ecological importance. Previous studies have shown that the genus Roseomonas is polyphyletic in nature. Our present study focused on generating a lucid understanding of the phylogenetic framework for the re-evaluation and reclassification of the genus Roseomonas. Phylogenetic studies based on the 16S rRNA gene and 92 concatenated genes suggested that the genus is heterogeneous, forming seven major groups. Existing Roseomonas species were subjected to an array of genomic, phenotypic, and chemotaxonomic analyses in order to resolve the heterogeneity. Genomic similarity indices (dDDH and ANI) indicated that the members were well-defined at the species level. The Percentage of Conserved Proteins (POCP) and the average Amino Acid Identity (AAI) values between the groups of the genus Roseomonas and other interspersing members of the family Acetobacteraceae were below 65 and 70%, respectively. The pan-genome evaluation depicted that the pan-genome was an open type and the members shared 958 core genes. This claim of reclassification was equally supported by the phenotypic and chemotaxonomic differences between the groups. Thus, in this study, we propose to re-evaluate and reclassify the genus Roseomonas and propose six novel genera as Pararoseomonas gen. nov., Falsiroseomonas gen. nov., Paeniroseomonas gen. nov., Plastoroseomonas gen. nov., Neoroseomonas gen. nov., and Pseudoroseomonas gen. nov.
RESUMO
Strain JC669T was isolated from a floating island of Loktak lake, Manipur, India and shares the highest 16S rRNA gene sequence identity with Aquisphaera giovannonii OJF2T. The novel strain is aerobic, Gram negative, light pink-coloured, non-motile, NaCl intolerant and spherical to oval-shaped. It grows in the form of single cells or aggregates and possibly forms structures which appear like fruiting bodies. Strain JC669T grows well up to pH 9.0.The isolate produces MK-6 as respiratory quinone, C18:1ω9c, C16:0 and C18:0 as major fatty acids and phosphatidylcholine, an unidentified amino lipid, an unidentified choline lipid (UCL) and six additional unidentified lipids (UL1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6) as polar lipids. Strain JC669T has a large genome size of 10.04 Mb and the genomic G + C content was 68.5 mol%. The genome contained all genes essential for lycopene related carotenoid biosynthesis. The polyphasic analysis of its phylogenetic position, morphological, physiological and genomic features supports the classification of strain JC669T as a novel species of the genus Aquisphaera, for which we propose the name Aquisphaera insulae sp. nov. Strain JC669T (= KCTC 72672T = NBRC 114306T) is the type strain of the novel species.

Our major concern was to address "yeast endobacteria" which was based on a few reports in the recent past where bacteria may find yeast as a niche for survival. In this study, we report the microbiota of twenty-nine axenic yeast cultures recovered from different habitats based on their 16S rRNA gene-amplicon metagenomes. Yeasts were identified based on D1/D2 or ITS gene sequences. Bacterial diversity was widespread, varied and rich among all yeasts except for four strains. Taxa belonging to the phylum Firmicutes, Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria and Bacteroidetes and the genera; Streptococcus, Propionibacterium were common to all the yeasts. Candida tropicalis was used as a model organism to confirm bacteria through fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), isolating and re-introducing the isolated bacteria into the yeast. FISH analysis confirmed the endobacteria of C. tropicalis and we have successfully isolated four bacteria only after lysis and disruption of yeast cells. These bacteria were identified as species of Pseudomonas, Chryseobacterium, Lysinibacillus and Propionibacterium. Guestimates indicate 95% of bacterial species of C. tropicalis are yet-to-be-cultivated. We have successfully reintroduced mCherry tagged Pseudomonas into C. tropicalis. Also, auto-fluorescent Prochlorococcus and Rhodopseudomonas could be introduced into C. tropicalis while mCherry tagged E. coli or Salmonella could not be introduced. FISH analysis confirmed the presence of both native and infected bacterial cells present in C. tropicalis. Our findings unveil the insights into the ghost microbiota associated with yeast, which otherwise are considered to be axenic cultures. Their inherent occurrence, together with co-cultivation experiments under laboratory conditions suggests that yeasts are a thriving hub for bacterial communities.

Two axenic cultures of Planctomycetes were isolated from distinct geographical regions of the east coast of India. The two closely related strains (JC640 and CH01) showed <93.3% 16S rRNA gene sequence identity with members of the genus Roseimaritima followed by Rhodopirellula (<91%). Both strains displayed non-canonical cell morphology of Planctomycetes, such as rod shaped cells with division by lateral budding. Both strains showed crateriform structures on their surfaces and cells lack fimbriae. The genomes have a size of about 5.76 Mb and DNA G+C content of 63.6mol%. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequence and 92 core genes based RAxML phylogenetic tree place both the strains in the family Pirellulaceae and indicated Roseimaritima sediminicola as their closest relative. The AAI and POCP values differentiate both strains from rest of the members of the family Pirellulaceae. The axenic cultures of both strains were able to grow up to 8-10 passages and subsequently the cells became non-viable with pleomorphic shapes. Supported by genomic, phylogenetic and morphological differences, we conclude that both strains belong to a novel genus. However, since the new isolates lost their viability on passaging, we propose the novel genus as "Candidatus Laterigemmans" gen. nov. and the novel species as "Candidatus Laterigemmans baculatus" sp. nov.

A novel marine actinomycete strain designated ICN19T was isolated from the subtidal sediment of Chinnamuttam coast of Kanyakumari, India and subjected to polyphasic taxonomic analysis. Neighbour-joining tree based on 16S rRNA gene sequences of validly described type strains had revealed the strain ICN19T formed distinct cluster with Streptomyces wuyuanensis CGMCC 4.7042T, Streptomyces tirandamycinicus HNM0039T and Streptomyces spongiicola HNM0071T. Morphological, physiological and chemotaxonomic characteristics were consistent with those of members of the genus Streptomyces. The strain possessed LL-diaminopimelic acid as the diagnostic diamino acid. The predominant isoprenoid quinone was identified as MK-9(H8) (70%), MK-9(H6) (20%) and MK-9(H2) (2%), with the major cellular fatty acids (>10%) being anteiso-C15:0, C16:0 and iso-C16:0. The main polar lipids were found to be diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylinositol mannosides and three unidentified phospholipids. The dendrogram generated on the basis of MALDI-TOF mass spectra supports the strain differentiated from its neigbours. The genome sequence of strain ICN19T was 9,010,366 bp in size with a total of 7420 protein-coding genes and 98 RNA genes. The genomic G+C content of the novel strain was 71.27 mol%. The DNA-DNA relatedness between strain ICN19T and the reference strains with S. wuyuanensis CGMCC 4.7042T, S. tirandamycinicus HNM0039T and S. spongiicola HNM0071T were 42.8%, 39.5% and 38%, respectively. Based on differences in physiological, biochemical, chemotaxonomic differences and whole-genome characteristics the isolated strain represents a novel species of the genus Streptomyces, for which the name Streptomyces marianii sp. nov. is proposed. Type strain is ICN19T (=MCC 3599T = KCTC 39749T).

Two pink-coloured, oxidase-catalase-positive, salt and alkali-tolerant planctomycetal strains (JC635T and JC645T) with pear to spherical-shaped, Gram-stain-negative, motile cells were isolated from Chilika lagoon, India. Both strains share highest 16S rRNA gene sequence identity with members of the genus Rhodopirellula (< 94%) and Roseimaritima (< 94%) of the family Pirellulaceae. The 16S rRNA sequence identity between the strains JC635T and JC645T is 96.1%. Respiratory quinone for both strains is MK6. Major fatty acids are C18:1ω9c and C16:0. Major polar lipids are phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylcholine, unidentified amino lipids and an unidentified lipid. The genomic size of strain JC635T and JC645T are 7.95 Mb and 8.2 Mb with DNA G + C content of 55.1âand 60.0 mol%, respectively. Based on phylogenetic, genomic (ANI, AAI, POCP, dDDH), chemotaxonomic, physiological and biochemical characteristics, we conclude that both strains belong to a novel genus Roseiconus gen. nov. and constitute two novel species for which we propose the names Roseiconus nitratireducens sp. nov. and Roseiconus lacunae sp. nov. The two novel species are represented by the type strains JC645T (= KCTC 72174T = NBRC 113879T) and JC635T (= KCTC 72164T = NBRC 113875T), respectively.
