RESUMEN
A Gram-stain-positive, aerobic, non-mobile and spherical strain, designated ZS9-10T, belonging to the genus Deinococcus was isolated from soil sampled at the Chinese Zhong Shan Station, Antarctica. Growth was observed in the presence of 0-4â% (w/v) NaCl, at pH 7.0-8.0 and at 4-25â°C. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain ZS9-10T formed a lineage in the genus Deinococcus. It exhibited highest sequence similarity (97.4â%) to Deinococcus marmoris DSM 12784T. The major phospholipids of ZS9-10T were unidentified phosphoglycolipid, unidentified glycolipids and unidentified lipids. The major fatty acids were summed feature 3 (C16â:â1 ω7c and/or C16â:â1 ω6c), C16â:â0 and C16â:â1 ω7c. MK-8 was the predominant respiratory quinone. The digital DNA-DNA hybridization and average nucleotide identity values between strain ZS9-10T and its close relative D. marmoris DSM 12784T were 27.4 and 83.9â%, respectively. Based on phenotypic, phylogenetic and genotypic data, a novel species, named Deinococcus arenicola sp. nov., is proposed. The type strain iis ZS9-10T (=CCTCC AB 2019392T=KCTC43192T).

Deinococcus actinosclerus BM2T (GenBank: KT448814) is a radio-resistant bacterium that is newly isolated from the soil of a rocky hillside in Seoul. As an extremophile, D. actinosclerus BM2T may possess anti-inflammatory properties that may be beneficial to human health. In this study, we evaluated the anti-inflammatory effects of BM2U, an aqueous extract of D. actinosclerus BM2T, on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-mediated inflammatory responses in RAW264.7 macrophage cells. BM2U showed antioxidant capacity, as determined by the DPPH radical scavenging (IC50 = 349.3 µg/ml) and ORAC (IC50 = 50.24 µg/ml) assays. At 20 µg/ml, BM2U induced a significant increase in heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) expression (p < 0.05). BM2U treatment (0.2-20 µg/ml) significantly suppressed LPS-induced increase in the mRNA expression of proinflammatory cytokines tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin (IL)-1ß, and IL-6 (p < 0.05). BM2U treatment also suppressed the expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), which are involved in the production of inflammatory mediators. BM2U treatment also inhibited the activation of nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) and mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs): JNK, ERK, and p-38 (p < 0.05). Collectively, BM2U exhibited anti-inflammatory potential that can be exploited in attenuating inflammatory responses.

Ultraviolet radiation (UVR) is widely known as deleterious for many organisms since it can cause damage to biomolecules either directly or indirectly via the formation of reactive oxygen species. The goal of this study was to analyze the capacity of high-mountain Espeletia hartwegiana plant phyllosphere microorganisms to survive UVR and to identify genes related to resistance strategies. A strain of Deinococcus swuensis showed a high survival rate of up to 60% after UVR treatment at 800J/m2 and was used for differential expression analysis using RNA-seq after exposing cells to 400J/m2 of UVR (with >95% survival rate). Differentially expressed genes were identified using the R-Bioconductor package NOISeq and compared with other reported resistance strategies reported for this genus. Genes identified as being overexpressed included transcriptional regulators and genes involved in protection against damage by UVR. Non-coding (nc)RNAs were also differentially expressed, some of which have not been previously implicated. This study characterized the immediate radiation response of D. swuensis and indicates the involvement of ncRNAs in the adaptation to extreme environmental conditions.

A Gram-stain-negative, non-motile, strictly aerobic, coccus-shaped bacterium, designated S14-83T, was isolated from a soil sample collected from the South Shetland Islands of Antarctica. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that the strain is a novel member of the genus Deinococcus, with Deinococcus alpinitundrae as its closest relative (96.1â% similarity). The DNA G+C content of the strain was 61.1 mol% and the major respiratory quinone was MK-8. Major cellular fatty acids were summed feature 3 (C16â:â1ω7c/C16â:â1ω6c) and C16â:â0. As well as containing glycophospholipid, aminophospholipids and glycolipid as major polar lipids, there were also some unknown polar lipids. The diagnostic diamino acid in the cell-wall peptidoglycan was ornithine, corroborating the assignment of the strain to the genus Deinococcus. Strain S14-83T was shown to be extremely resistant to gamma radiation (>10 kGy) and UV light (460 Jm-2). On the basis of phylogenetic, chemotaxonomic and phenotypic data presented here, strain S14-83T represents a novel species of the genus Deinococcus, for which the name Deinococcus psychrotolerans sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is S14-83T (=CCTCC AB 2015449T= DSM 105285 T).

Freezing vegetables requires pre-treatments to reduce microbial load and destroy enzymes that impair the frozen product quality. So far blanching has been the most effective pre-treatment, preferred by the food industry, despite its severity: heating up to temperatures close to 100⯰C for 1-3â¯min causes sensory and texture changes in most horticultural products. Alternative blanching treatments, using UV-C radiation combined with milder thermal treatments or with thermosonication, may improve the quality of the final frozen vegetables. Zucchini (Cucurbita pepo L.), the vegetable under study, has an availability in fresh restricted to a season, needing therefore to be often frozen to be used throughout the year. In this study, its surface was first inoculated with two vegetable contaminants, Enterococcus faecalis and Deinococcus radiodurans cells, which are resistant, respectively, to high temperatures and to radiation and then submitted to several blanching treatments, single or combined, and the effect on these microorganisms reduction was evaluated. As single treatments, water blanching (the control treatment, as it is the blanching treatment traditionally used) was applied up to 180â¯s at temperatures ranging from 65 to 90⯰C, and UV-irradiation applied in continuous. As combined pre-treatments, water blanching combined with UV-C (continuous or in pulses), and thermosonication (20â¯kHz at 50% of power) combined with UV-C pulses were also studied. The continuous UV-C radiation incident irradiance was 11â¯W/m2 up to 180â¯s, and the pulses at incident radiance of 67â¯W/m2, lasting 3.5â¯s each (35 pulses). Mathematical modeling of bacterial reduction data was carried out using the Bigelow, the Weibull and Weibull modified models, and estimation of their respective kinetic parameters proved that the latter models presented a better fit below 75⯰C. The best results proved to be the combination of water blanching at temperatures as low as 85⯰C during <2â¯min with 25 pulses of UV-C (incident irradiance of 67â¯W/m2) or thermosonication at 90⯰C also combined with UV-C pulses, both resulting in 3 log reductions of both microorganisms under study. These results proved to overcome what industry is requiring so far (a 2 log microbial reduction in 3â¯min), hence minimizing quality changes of frozen zucchini.

A Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, non-motile and coccus-shaped bacterium, designated strain FeSDHB5-19T, was isolated from a biofilm sample collected from a radioactive thermal spring (Budapest, Hungary), after exposure to 5 kGy gamma radiation. A polyphasic approach was used to study the taxonomic properties of strain FeSDHB5-19T, which had highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity to Deinococcus antarcticus G3-6-20T (96.5â%). The 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity to type strains of other Deinococcus species were 93.0â% or lower. The DNA G+C content of the draft genome sequence, consisting of 3.9 Mb, was 63.9 mol%. Strain FeSHDB5-19T was found to grow at temperatures of 10-32 °C (optimum, 28 °C) and pH 5-10 (pH 6.5-7.5) and tolerated up to 1.5â% NaCl (w/v) with optimum growth at 0-0.5â% NaCl. The predominant fatty acids (>10â%) were C16â:â0 and C16â:â1ω7c. The cell-wall peptidoglycan type was A3ß l-Orn-Gly1-2. The whole-cell sugars were glucose and low amounts of galactose. Strain FeSDHB5-19T possessed MK-8 as the predominant respiratory quinone, typical of the genus Deinococcus. The polar lipid profile contained unidentified phosphoglycolipids and unidentified glycolipids. The isolate was found to be highly resistant to gamma (D10<8 kGy) and UV (D10~800 Jâm-2) radiation. According to its genotypic, phenotypic and chemotaxonomic characteristics, strain FeSDHB5-19T represents a novel species in the genus Deinococcus, for which the name Deinococcusfonticola sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is FeSDHB5-19T (=NCAIM B.02639T=DSM 106917T).

The amoeba Naegleria fowleri is the causative agent of the highly fatal disease, primary amoebic meningoencephalitis, and estimated to cause 16 deaths per year in the United States alone. Colonisation of drinking water distribution systems (DWDSs) by the N. fowleri is a significant public health issue. Understanding the factors which enable this pathogen to colonise and thrive in DWDSs is critical for proper management. The microbial ecology within DWDSs may influence the ability of N. fowleri to colonise DWDSs by facilitating the availability of an appropriate food source. Using biofilm samples obtained from operational DWDSs, 16S rRNA amplicon metabarcoding was combined with genus-specific PCR and Sanger sequencing of intracellular associated bacteria from isolated amoeba and their parental biofilms to identify Meiothermus chliarophilus as a potential food source for N. fowleri. Meiothermus was confirmed as a food source for N. fowleri following successful serial culturing of axenic N. fowleri with M. chliarophilus or M. ruber as the sole food source. The ability to identify environmental and ecological conditions favourable to N. fowleri colonisation, including the detection of appropriate food sources such as Meiothermus, could provide water utilities with a predictive tool for managing N. fowleri colonisation within the DWDS.

A Gram-stain-negative, non-motile, rod-shaped, red-pigmented strain, designated W37T, was isolated from soil near an iron factory in Busan (Republic of Korea). Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain W37T was most closely related to Deinococcus yunweiensis YIM 007T (98.3â%) and Deinococcus radioresistens 8AT (96.3â%). The DNA-DNA relatedness between strain W37T and D. yunweiensis YIM 007T was 50.5â%. The predominant respiratory quinone was MK-8. The major polar lipids were an unidentified phosphoglycolipid, an unidentified aminophospholipid, four unidentified glycolipids, two unidentified phospholipids and an unidentified lipid. The major fatty acids (>5â%) of strain W37T were summed feature 3 (C16â:â1ω7c and/or iso-C15â:â0 2-OH), C16â:â0, C17â:â1ω8c and iso-C17â:â1ω9c. The DNA G+C content was 69.0 mol%. Moreover, the chemo-physical characteristics of strain W37T clearly differed from those of related species, including ranges of growth temperature and pH, positive activity for 4-hydroxybenzoate and negative activity for cystine arylamidase. Phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and genotypic analyses indicated that strain W37T represents a novel species of the genus Deinococcus, for which the name Deinococcus rufus sp. nov., is proposed. The type strain is W37T (=KCTC 33913T=CCTCC AB 2017081T).

Fruit flies are the most economically important group of phytophagous flies worldwide. Whereas the ecological role of bacteria associated with tephritid fruit fly species of the genera Bactrocera and Ceratitis has been demonstrated, the diversity of the bacterial community in Anastrepha has been poorly characterized. This study represents the first comprehensive analysis of the bacterial community in the gut of larvae and adults of Anastrepha ludens, A. obliqua, A. serpentina, and A. striata using 454 pyrosequencing. A total of four phyla, seven classes, 11 families, and 27 bacterial genera were identified. Proteobacteria was the most represented phylum, followed by Firmicutes, Actinobacteria, and Deinococcus-Thermus. The genera Citrobacter, Enterobacter, Escherichia, Klebsiella, and Raoultella were dominant in all samples analyzed. In general, the bacterial community diversity in adult flies was higher in species with a broader diet breadth than species with a restricted number of hosts, whereas it was also higher in adults versus larvae. Differences in bacterial communities in adults might be determined by the number of fruit species infested. Lastly, the predictive functional profile analysis suggested that community members may participate in metabolic pathways related to membrane transport and metabolism of carbohydrates, amino acids, cofactors, and lipids. These results provide the basis for the study of unexplored functional roles of bacteria in this insect group.

Optimal growth of strain MCC1711T was observed at 25 °C and pH 7.0 without NaCl. Strain IMCC1711T exhibited high resistance to gamma radiation. The DNA G+C content of strain IMCC1711T was 59.1 mol% and MK-8 was the predominant isoprenoid quinone. Major fatty acid constituents of the strain were C17â:â1ω8c, C16â:â0, summed feature 3 (C16â:â1ω6c and/or C16â:â1ω7c) and C15â:â1ω6c. The major polar lipids constituted phosphatidylethanolamine, one unidentified phosphoglycolipid and two unidentified glycolipids.

A bacterial strain designated PtRA-8T was isolated from the trunk surface of a Japanese aspen tree (Populus tremula var. sieboldii). Cells of strain PtRA-8T were aerobic, non-motile, non-spore forming, Gram-stain-negative rods, 1.0â2.0 µm in width and 3.0â10.0 µm in length. The pH range for growth was between 5.5 and 7.5, with an optimum at 6.5. The temperature range for growth was between 10 and 37 °C, with an optimum at around 25â30 °C. Strain PtRA-8T was highly resistant to UV irradiation, similar to its Deinococcus relatives. The respiratory quinone was menaquinone MK-8. The major cellular fatty acids (> 10% of the total fatty acid content) were iso-C15:0 (17.8%), C16:0 (15.0%), iso-C17:0 (10.4%), and iso-C17:1 ω9c/C16:010-methyl (22.2%). The polar lipids consisted of four unidentified glycolipids, two unidentified aminolipids, two unidentified phospholipids, and three unidentified polar lipids. The peptidoglycan was A3ß-type containing glutamic acid, glycine, alanine, and ornithine. The DNA G + C content of strain PtRA-8T was 68.2 mol%. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strain PtRA-8T was closely related to "Deinococcus radioresistens" 8AT (97.4%), Deinococcus metalli DSM 27521T (95.7%), and Deinococcus yunweiensis YIM 007T (94.5%). The DNA-DNA hybridization experiments between strain PtRA-8T and its relatives yielded relatedness values below 70%. Based on the polyphasic evidence, we concluded that strain PtRA-8T represents a novel species within the genus Deinococcus, for which the name Deinococcus populi is proposed. The type strain of D. populi is PtRA-8T (= DSM 29820T= NBRC 110763T; DPD TaxonNumber TA00271).

A Gram-stain positive, non-motile, spherical, red-pigmented and facultatively anaerobic bacterium, designated strain 6.1T, was isolated from a crude oil recovery water sample from the Huabei oil field in China. The novel strain exhibited tolerance of UV irradiation (> 1000 J m-2). Based on 16S rRNA gene sequence comparisons, strain 6.1T shows high similarity to Deinococcus citri DSM 24791T (98.1%) and Deinococcus gobiensis I-0T (97.8%), with less than 93.5% similarity to other closely related taxa. The major cellular fatty acids were identified as summed feature 3 (C16:1 ω7c and/or iso-C15:0 2-OH), followed by iso-C17:1 ω9c and C16:0. The polar lipid profile was found to contain phospholipids, glycolipids, phosphoglycolipids and aminophospholipids. The predominant respiratory quinone was identified as MK-8. The DNA G + C content was determined to be 68.3 mol %. DNA-DNA hybridization between strain 6.1T and D. citri DSM 24791T was 45.6 ± 7.1% and with D. gobiensis I-OT was 36.6 ± 4.7%. On the basis of phylogenetic, chemotaxonomic and phenotypic data, we conclude strain 6.1T represents a novel species of the genus Deinococcus, for which we propose the name Deinococcus petrolearius sp. nov. The type strain is 6.1T (= CGMCC 1.15053T = KCTC 33744T).

A Gram-stain-positive, pink-pigmented, coccus-shaped, strictly aerobic, non-motile bacterium, strain THG-AG1.5T, was isolated from rhizosphere of Hibiscus syriacus L. (Mugunghwa flower) located in Kyung Hee University, Yongin, Gyeonggi, Republic of Korea. The isolated strain grew optimally at 25-30 °C, at pH 6.0-7.5 and in the presence of additional 0-1.5â% (w/v) NaCl. Strain THG-AG1.5T exhibited tolerance to UV radiation (>1500 J m-2) and to gamma radiation (>12 kGy). Based on 16S rRNA gene sequence comparisons, strain THG-AG1.5T was closely related to Deinococcus daejeonensis MJ27T (98.03â%), Deinococcus radiotolerans C1T (97.61â%) and Deinococcus grandis DSM 3963T (97.32â%). The genomic DNA G+C content of strain THG-AG1.5T was 74.8 mol%. The DNA-DNA hybridization values between strain THG-AG1.5T and its closest phylogenetically neighbours were below 63.0â%. The peptidoglycan amino acids were alanine, valine, glutamic acid, glycine, ornithine, lysine and aspartic acid. Strain THG-AG1.5T contained ribose, mannose and glucose as whole-cell-wall sugars and menaquinone-8 (MK-8) as the only isoprenoid quinone. The major component in the polyamine pattern was spermidine. The major polar lipids of strain THG-AG1.5T were a phosphoglycolipid, six unidentified glycolipids and an unidentified aminophospholipid. The major fatty acids were identified as iso-C15â:â0, C15â:â1ω6c, C16â:â0, iso-C17â:â0, C17â:â0, C18â:â0 and summed feature 3. On the basis of our polyphasic taxonomy study, strain THG-AG1.5T represents a novel species within the genus Deinococcus, for which the name Deinococcushibisci sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is THG-AG1.5T (=KACC 18850T=CCTCC AB 2016078T).

A gamma- and UV radiation-tolerant, Gram-negative, short-rod-shaped bacterial strain, designated X-121T, was isolated from soil samples collected from the Taklimakan desert in Xinjiang, China. Strain X-121T showed the highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity with Deinococcus depolymerans TDMA-24T (94.7â%). Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strain X-121T is a member of a novel species belonging to the clade formed by members of the genus Deinococcus in the family Deinococcaceae. The DNA G+C content of strain X-121T was 63.6 mol%. The chemotaxonomic charateristics of strain X-121T were typical of members of the genus Deinococcus, with MK-8 being the predominant respiratory quinone, summed feature 3 (16â:â1ω7c,16â:â1ω6c), 16â:â0 and 17â:â1ω8c as major cellular fatty acid, several unidentified phosphoglycolipids and glycolipids as the dominant polar lipids, galactose as the predominant cell-wall sugar and the presence of peptidoglycan with l-ornithine. Strain X-121T is therefore identified as representing a novel species, for which the name Deinococcus taklimakanensis sp. nov. is proposed, with the type strain X-121T(=CCTCC AB 207228T=KCTC 33842T).
