Abstract. Geraldi A, Tay CC, Ni’matuzahroh, Fatimah, Hanafi WNW. 2021. Unraveling the bacterial diversity of Cangar Hot Spring, Indonesia by Next Generation Sequencing of 16S rRNA gene. Biodiversitas 22: 4060-4066. This study is the first attempt at using the Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) method with 16S rRNA to understand the bacterial community structure in an Indonesian hot spring. This study aims to unravel the bacterial diversity of the Cangar Hot Spring as one of the most explored natural hot springs in East Java, Indonesia. We found Proteobacteria and Bacteroidetes as the two most abundant phyla. We discovered the first occurrence of genera Cloacibacterium and Methylobacillus in the hot spring ecosystem, which was the most dominant genera at Cangar Hot Spring. We also found several potential bacteria for bioindustry and bioremediation, such as Acinetobacter junii and Pseudomonas alcaligenes. Besides that, we also observed opportunistic pathogens from genera Comamonas and Vogesella. This study result will provide valuable information for further bioprospecting of bacteria with commercial potential and the development of health and safety measures in the Cangar Hot Spring, among others. Hopefully, this report would encourage the use of NGS technology for studying other hot springs in Indonesia.

In this study, a spatial model has been developed to investigate the role of water temperature to the distribution of bacteria over the selected regions in the Bay of Bengal, located in the southern region of Bangladesh using next-generation sequencing. Bacterial concentration, quantitative polymerase chain reactions, and sequencing were performed on water samples and identified Acidobacteria, Actinobacteria, Bacteroidetes, Chlorobi, Chloroflexi, Cyanobacteria, Firmicutes, Nitrospirae, Planctomycetes, Proteobacteria, and Verrucomicrobia. The spatial model tessellated the parts of the Bay of Bengal with hexagons and analyzed the relationship between the distribution of bacteria and water temperature. A geographically weighted regression was used to observe whether water temperature contributed strongly or weakly to the distribution of bacteria. The residuals were examined to assess the model’s fitness. The spatial model has the potential to predict the bacterial diversity in the selected regions of Bangladesh.

AbstractThis paper provides an overview of the current knowledge of chlamydiae. These intracellular microorganisms belonging to the Chlamydiaceae family are widely distributed throughout the world. Constant development of culture-independent approaches for characterisation of microbial genomes enables new discoveries in the field of Chlamydia. The number of new taxa is continuously increasing as well as the range of hosts. New species and genotypes are constantly being discovered, particularly new avian and reptilian agents, which are discussed in this article. Interestingly, wild animals are the main hosts for new Chlamydia species including different species of bird, turtle and snake. The availability of next-generation sequencing opens up a new prospect for research and leads to deeper knowledge of these interesting microorganisms about which much is still to discover.

ABSTRACTThe Ukraine ranks among the top 20 countries with the highest number of multidrug-resistant (MDR) and extensively drug resistant (XDR)Mycobacterium tuberculosiscases in the world. However, little is known of the genetic diversity, i.e., resistance signatures, in clinical isolates from this region. We analyzed seven of most prevalent MDR/XDR antibiotic resistance-conferring genes from clinical isolates (n= 75) collected from geographically diverse Ukrainian oblasts and the southern Crimean peninsula. Genomic analysis revealed that 6 (8%) were sensitive, 3 (4%) were resistant to at least one antibiotic but were not MDR, 40 (53%) were MDR, and 26 (35%) were XDR. The majority of isolates (81%) were of the Beijing-like lineage. This is the first study to use next-generation sequencing (NGS) of clinical isolates from the Ukraine to characterize mutations in genes conferringM. tuberculosisdrug resistance. Several isolates harbored drug resistance signatures that have not been observed in other countries with high-burden tuberculosis. Most notably, the absence ofinhAgene promoter mutations, a diversity of mutation types in therpoBresistance-determining region, and detection of heteroresistance provide a broader understanding of MDR/XDR from this area of the world.
