Nine bacterial strains that grew on morpholine and pyrrolidine as sole carbon, nitrogen, and energy sources were isolated from three different environments with no known morpholine contamination. One of these strains could also degrade piperidine. These bacteria were identified as Mycobacterium strains. A phylogenetic analysis based on the partial 16S rDNA sequences indicated that the isolated strains clustered within the fast growing group of mycobacteria. When the above-mentioned cyclic amines were used as growth substrates, the synthesis of a soluble cytochrome P450 was induced in all these bacteria. Other laboratory strains, Mycobacterium fortuitum and Mycobacterium smegmatis mc2155, were tested for their abilities to degrade morpholine. Neither of them degraded morpholine but could use pyrrolidine and piperidine. The growth of M. fortuitum and M. smegmatis mc2155 on these compounds involved a soluble cytochrome P450, suggesting that mycobacterial strains are naturally able to use pyrrolidine and have developed a similar enzymatic pathway to metabolize this amine.Key words: mycobacteria, morpholine, piperidine, pyrrolidine, cytochrome P450.

Ammonium removal from wastewater is a crucial step in wastewater treatment. Presently employed technologies based on nitrification/denitrification and partial nitritation/anammox principles require oxygen for the nitrification step, and are therefore still not yet fully satisfied with the application practice. In recent years, biological ammonium oxidation coupled with ferric iron reduction (feammox) has been proposed to be responsible for the nitrogen loss in different ecological habitats. Related to the wastewater aspect, the feammox principle has been discussed as an alternative approach for ammonium removal without dependency on oxygen. From a laboratory-scaled feammox bioreactor operated under neutral pH, two bacterial strains FN7 and FN9 were isolated by using the anaerobic Hungate technique. Comparative analyses of 16S rDNA sequences showed that these strains were most closely related to the b-proteobacterium Aciclyphilus denitrificans and the g-proteobacterium Pseudomonas stutzeri, respectively. Although being phylogenetically apart, strains FN7 and FN9 shared several common physiological characteristics that are considered meaningful for the feammox process, i.e. (i) heteroptrophic ammonium oxidation, (ii) denitrification, and (iii) ferric iron reduction. These isolates are proposed to play certain roles in the studied feammox system, contributing to the ammonium removal under heterotrophic feammox condition. The 16S rDNA sequences of strains FN7 and FN9 were available in GenBank under the accession numbers LC474369 and MT568614, respectively.

ABSTRACT A novel secondary intracellular symbiotic bacterium from aphids of the genus Yamatocallis (subfamily Drepanosiphinae) was characterized by using molecular phylogenetic analysis, in situ hybridization, and diagnostic PCR detection. In the aphid tissues, this bacterium (tentatively designated YSMS [Yamatocallis secondary mycetocyte symbiont]) was found specifically in large cells surrounded by primary mycetocytes harboringBuchnera cells. Of nine drepanosiphine aphids examined, YSMS was detected in only two species of the same genus,Yamatocallis tokyoensis and Yamatocallis hirayamae. In natural populations of these aphids, YSMS was present in 100% of the individuals. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S ribosomal DNA (rDNA) sequences demonstrated that YSMS ofY. tokyoensis and Y. hirayamae constitute a distinct and isolated clade in the γ subdivision of the classProteobacteria. No 16S rDNA sequences of secondary endosymbionts characterized so far from other aphids showed phylogenetic affinity to YSMS. Based on these results, I suggest that YSMS was acquired by an ancestor of the genus Yamatocallisand has been conserved throughout the evolution of the lineage. By using the nucleotide substitution rate for 16S rDNA ofBuchnera spp., the time of acquisition of YSMS was estimated to be about 13 to 26 million years ago, in the Miocene epoch of the Tertiary period.

The taxonomic position of a soil isolate, strain SA 233T, recovered from Saharan soil from Algeria was established using a polyphasic approach. This isolate has been previously reported to produce three novel dithiolopyrrolone antibiotics, and preliminary chemotaxonomic and morphological characteristics suggested that it was representative of a member of the genus Saccharothrix. Phylogenetic analysis of the strain from 16S rDNA sequences, along with a detailed analysis of morphological, chemotaxonomic and physiological characteristics, indicates that it belongs to the genus Saccharothrix and represents a novel species that is readily distinguished from all recognized Saccharothrix species. The name Saccharothrix algeriensis sp. nov. is proposed for the isolate, with type strain SA 233T (=NRRL B-24137T=DSM 44581T).

Paenibacillus Ehimensis

The taxonomic status of Bacillus ehimensis and Bacillus chitinolyticus was examined, based on their 16S rDNA sequences, DNA–DNA hybridization and other taxonomic characteristics. A phylogenetic analysis using 16S rDNA sequences revealed that the two species belong to the genus Paenibacillus. In particular, B. ehimensis KCTC 3748T and B. chitinolyticus KCTC 3791T were found to be phylogenetically closely related to Paenibacillus koreensis YC300T (98·3 % sequence similarity) and Paenibacillus chinjuensis WN9T (95·2 % sequence similarity), respectively. DNA–DNA hybridization values between B. ehimensis KCTC 3748T and P. koreensis YC300T were less than 26 %. An experiment using Paenibacillus-specific PCR primers, PAEN515F and 1377R, revealed that B. ehimensis and B. chitinolyticus had the same amplified 16S rDNA fragment as members of the genus Paenibacillus. Accordingly, it is proposed that B. ehimensis and B. chitinolyticus be transferred to the genus Paenibacillus as Paenibacillus ehimensis comb. nov. and Paenibacillus chitinolyticus comb. nov., respectively.
