ABSTRACTMost isolated nitrate-reducing Fe(II)-oxidizing microorganisms are mixotrophic, meaning that Fe(II) is chemically oxidized by nitrite that forms during heterotrophic denitrification, and it is debated to which extent Fe(II) is enzymatically oxidized. One exception is the chemolithoautotrophic enrichment culture KS, a consortium consisting of a dominant Fe(II) oxidizer,Gallionellaceaesp., and less abundant heterotrophic strains (e.g.,Bradyrhizobiumsp.,Nocardioidessp.). Currently, this is the only nitrate-reducing Fe(II)-oxidizing culture for which autotrophic growth has been demonstrated convincingly for many transfers over more than 2 decades. We used 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing and physiological growth experiments to analyze the community composition and dynamics of culture KS with various electron donors and acceptors. Under autotrophic conditions, an operational taxonomic unit (OTU) related to known microaerophilic Fe(II) oxidizers within the familyGallionellaceaedominated culture KS. With acetate as an electron donor, most 16S rRNA gene sequences were affiliated withBradyrhizobiumsp.Gallionellaceaesp. not only was able to oxidize Fe(II) under autotrophic and mixotrophic conditions but also survived over several transfers of the culture on only acetate, although it then lost the ability to oxidize Fe(II).Bradyrhizobiumspp. became and remained dominant when culture KS was cultivated for only one transfer under heterotrophic conditions, even when conditions were reverted back to autotrophic in the next transfer. This study showed a dynamic microbial community in culture KS that responded to changing substrate conditions, opening up questions regarding carbon cross-feeding, metabolic flexibility of the individual strains in KS, and the mechanism of Fe(II) oxidation by a microaerophile in the absence of O2.IMPORTANCENitrate-reducing Fe(II)-oxidizing microorganisms are present in aquifers, soils, and marine and freshwater sediments. Most nitrate-reducing Fe(II) oxidizers known are mixotrophic, meaning that they need organic carbon to continuously oxidize Fe(II) and grow. In these microbes, Fe(II) was suggested to be chemically oxidized by nitrite that forms during heterotrophic denitrification, and it remains unclear whether or to what extent Fe(II) is enzymatically oxidized. In contrast, the enrichment culture KS was shown to oxidize Fe(II) autotrophically coupled to nitrate reduction. This culture contains the designated Fe(II) oxidizerGallionellaceaesp. and several heterotrophic strains (e.g.,Bradyrhizobiumsp.). We showed that culture KS is able to metabolize Fe(II) and a variety of organic substrates and is able to adapt to dynamic environmental conditions. When the community composition changed andBradyrhizobiumbecame the dominant community member, Fe(II) was still oxidized byGallionellaceaesp., even when culture KS was cultivated with acetate/nitrate [Fe(II) free] before being switched back to Fe(II)/nitrate.

ABSTRACTThe genomic DNA from four species of ixodid ticks in western Canada was tested for the presence ofRickettsiellaby PCR analyses targeting the 16S rRNA gene. Eighty-eight percent of theIxodes angustus(n= 270), 43% of theI. sculptus(n= 61), and 4% of theI. kingi(n= 93) individuals examined were PCR positive forRickettsiella, whereas there was no evidence for the presence ofRickettsiellainDermacentor andersoni(n= 45). Three different single-strand conformation polymorphism profiles of the 16S rRNA gene were detected among amplicons derived fromRickettsiella-positive ticks, each corresponding to a different sequence type. Furthermore, each sequence type was associated with a different tick species. Phylogenetic analyses of sequence data of the 16S rRNA gene and three other genes (rpsA,gidA, andsucB) revealed that all three sequence types were placed in a clade that contained species and pathotypes of the genusRickettsiella. The bacterium inI. kingirepresented the sister taxon to theRickettsiellainI. sculptus, and both formed a clade withRickettsiellagryllifrom crickets (Gryllus bimaculatus) and “R. ixodidis” fromI. woodi. In contrast, theRickettsiellainI. angustuswas not a member of this clade but was placed external to the clade comprising the pathotypes ofR. popilliae. The results indicate the existence of at least two new species ofRickettsiella: one inI. angustusand another inI. kingiandI. sculptus. However, theRickettsiellastrains inI. kingiandI. sculptusmay also represent different species because each had unique sequences for all four genes.

SummaryUnderstanding how ecological traits have changed over evolutionary time is a fundamental question in biology. Specifically, the extent to which more closely-related organisms share similar ecological preferences due to phylogenetic conservation – or if they are forced apart by competition – is still debated. Here we explored the co-occurrence patterns of freshwater cyanobacteria at the sub-genus level to investigate whether more closely-related taxa share more similar niches, and to what extent these niches were defined by abiotic or biotic variables. We used deep 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing and measured several abiotic environmental parameters (nutrients, temperature, etc.) in water samples collected over time and space in Furnas Reservoir, Brazil. We found that relatively more closely-related Synechococcus (in the continuous range of 93-100% nucleotide identity in 16S) had an increased tendency to co-occur with one another (i.e. had similar realized niches). This tendency could not be easily explained by shared preferences for measured abiotic niche dimensions. Thus, commonly measured abiotic parameters might not be sufficient to characterize, nor to predict community assembly or dynamics. Rather, co-occurrence between Synechococcus and the surrounding community (whether or not they represent true biological interactions) may be a more sensitive measure of realized niches. Overall, our results suggest that realized niches are phylogenetically conserved, at least at the sub-genus level and at the resolution of the 16S marker. Determining how these results generalize to other genera and at finer genetic resolution merits further investigation.Originality-Significance StatementWe address a fundamental question in ecology and evolution: how do niche preferences change over evolutionary time? Using time-series analysis of 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing data, we develop an approach to highlight the importance of biotic factors in defining realized niches, and show how niche preferences change proportionally with the 16S gene molecular clock within the genus Synechococcus. Ours is also one of few studies on the ecology of freshwater Synechococcus, adding significantly to our knowledge about this abundant and widespread lineage of Cyanobacteria.

AbstractThe sequencing revolution has resulted in the explosive growth of public genetic repositories. These repositories now hold invaluable collections of 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequences, but the extent to which the currently archived data is findable, accessible, and reusable has not been evaluated. We conducted a field-wide assessment of the availability and state of publicly archived 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing data. Using custom-built pattern-based text extraction algorithms, we searched 26,927 publications in 17 microbiology or microbial ecology journals, and identified 2,015 studies which performed 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing. We found, for example, that 7.2% of these had not been made public at the time of analysis, a trend which increased over time. Of the 635 studies targeting the V3-V4 region of the 16S rRNA gene, 40.3% contained data which was not available or not reusable, and for 25.5% of the studies, faults in data formatting or data labelling were likely to create obstacles in data reuse. Taken together, only 34% of these datasets had potentially reusable data. Our study reveals significant gaps in the availability of currently deposited community sequencing data, identifies major contributors to data loss, and offers suggestions for improving data archiving practices in the future.

Based on distinct colony morphology, color, size, shape and certain other traits, 92 bacterial isolates were investigated to understand their managerial ability on iron from the Arabian Sea and Equatorial Indian Ocean samples. The ARDRA (amplified rDNA restriction analysis) applied to eliminate the duplication of the bacterial strains, resulted 39 different banding patterns. The 16S rRNA gene sequencing data indicate the dominancy of three phylogenetic groups, alpha-Proteobacteria (10.25%), gamma-Proteobacteria (35.89%) and Bacilli (53.84%) in these waters. Marinobacter and Bacillus were the only common genera from both of the regions. Pseudoalteromonas, Halomonas, Rheinheimera, Staphylococcus and Idiomarina were some of the other genera obtained from the Arabian Sea. Erythrobacter, Roseovarius, Sagittula and Nitratireductor were found mostly in Equatorial Indian Ocean. In addition, 16S rRNA gene sequence data of some of our iron bacterial strains belong to novel species and one isolate ASS2A could form a new genus. Close to 23% of the isolates were able to produce high affinity sets of ligands like siderophores to mediate iron transport into the cell. The current study indicated that the Equatorial Indian Ocean species were well adapted to oxidize iron as an electron acceptor and the Arabian Sea species preferably go through siderophore production.

Analysis of 16S rRNA genes is important for phylogenetic classification of known and novel bacterial genera and species and for detection of uncultivable bacteria. PCR amplification of 16S rRNA genes with universal primers produces a mixture of amplicons from all rRNA operons in the genome, and the sequence data generally yield a consensus sequence. Here we describe valuable data that are missing from consensus sequences, variable effects on sequence data generated from nonidentical 16S rRNA amplicons, and the appearance of data displayed by different software programs. These effects are illustrated by analysis of 16S rRNA genes from 50 strains of theBacillus cereusgroup, i.e.,Bacillus anthracis,Bacillus cereus,Bacillus mycoides, andBacillus thuringiensis. These species have 11 to 14 rRNA operons, and sequence variability occurs among the multiple 16S rRNA genes. A single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) previously reported to be specific toB. anthraciswas detected in someB. cereusstrains. However, a different SNP, at position 1139, was identified as being specific toB. anthracis, which is a biothreat agent with high mortality rates. Compared with visual analysis of the electropherograms, basecaller software frequently missed gene sequence variations or could not identify variant bases due to overlapping basecalls. Accurate detection of 16S rRNA gene sequences that include intragenomic variations can improve discrimination among closely related species, improve the utility of 16S rRNA databases, and facilitate rapid bacterial identification by targeted DNA sequence analysis or by whole-genome sequencing performed by clinical or reference laboratories.
