The efficiency of using lactic acid bacteria derived from chicken to be used in fish to limit microbial infections in aquaculture was investigated. Gram-positive isolates were cultured on Man Rogosa Sharp agar (MRS). Identification of bacterial strains was done by analyzing nucleotide sequence of the 16S rRNA gene. Lactobacillus plantarum (98%) was isolated from Oreochromis niloticus and Enterococcus durans (96%) was isolated from Gallus gallus. The sequences were deposited in GenBank with the Accession No. of MF197402 and MF197403, respectively. Experimental mussels were divided into 3 groups; control group fed commercial feed only, Treatment 1 and Treatment 2 were fed with commercial feed supplemented with the candidate probiotics isolated from chicken and fish, respectively, for 21 days. P. viridis were immersed in V. alginolyticus 1.0 ×106 CFU/ml. L. plantarum significantly affected haemocyte count, lysozyme activity and mortality rate, whereas E. durans significantly affect lysozyme activity only.

Objective: In vitro antioxidant activity, in vivo antidiabetic property and intestinal attachment by two potential probiotic bacterial strains, namely, Enterococcus faecium and Enterococcus hirae were studied using albino rats. Methods: Antioxidant the activity was assessed using 2,2-Diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radicals scavenging assay. Alloxan was administered intraperitoneally to induce diabetic conditions in experimental rats. Animals were treated with oral administration of Enterococcus spp., such as E. faecium, and E. hirae isolated from goat and sheep milk. The control animal group received normal saline for the same days. Glibenclamide drug was used as a positive control against probiotic bacterial cells. Results: However, administration of probiotic bacterial strains E. faecium and E. hirae, in albino rats significantly (p<0.05) at varying doses lowered blood glucose levels in diabetic rats as compared to the diabetic control group. Both the species of Enterococcus increased the bodyweight of experimental rats. However, E. faecium was the best antidiabetic strain having the antioxidant activities also in comparison to E. hirae. The attachment of probiotic bacterial cells E. faecium on the rat’s intestine wall against pathogens was examined. Furthermore, E. faecium showed its aggregation with pathogens by attachment of the intestines of albino rats. This showed that both the bacterial strains exhibited in vivo antidiabetic effect. Conclusion: The results of this study showed that probiotic bacteria possess antioxidant, antidiabetic activities, and attachment of intestine.

AbstractTo identify intestinal bacteria that produce phenols (phenol and p-cresol), we screened 153 strains within 152 species in 44 genera by culture-based assay using broth media supplemented with 200 µM each of tyrosine and its predicted microbial metabolic intermediates (4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate, DL-4-hydroxyphenyllactate, 3-(p-hydroxyphenyl)propionate, 4-hydroxyphenylacetate and 4-hydroxybenzoate). Phenol-producing activity was found in 36 strains and p-cresol-producing activity in 55 strains. Fourteen strains had both types of activity. Phylogenetic analysis based on the 16S rRNA gene sequences of strains that produced 100 µM or more of phenols revealed that 16 phenol producers belonged to the Coriobacteriaceae, Enterobacteriaceae, Fusobacteriaceae and Clostridium clusters I and XIVa; four p-cresol-producing bacteria belonged to the Coriobacteriaceae and Clostridium clusters XI and XIVa; and one strain producing both belonged to the Coriobacteriaceae. A genomic search for protein homologs of enzymes involved in the metabolism of tyrosine to phenols in 10 phenol producers and four p-cresol producers, the draft genomes of which were available in public databases, predicted that phenol producers harbored tyrosine phenol-lyase or hydroxyarylic acid decarboxylase, or both, and p-cresol producers harbored p-hydroxyphenylacetate decarboxylase or tyrosine lyase, or both. These results provide important information about the bacterial strains that contribute to production of phenols in the intestine.

Three ionizing-radiation-resistant bacterial strains (designated KR-196, KR-198 and KR-200T) were isolated from a sample of arid soil collected from a coastal desert in Chile. The soil sample was irradiated before serial dilution plating was performed using one-tenth-strength plate count agar. Phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequences showed these organisms to represent a novel species of the genus Deinococcus, having sequence similarities of 87.3–90.8 % with respect to recognized Deinococcus species. Strains KR-196, KR-198 and KR-200T were aerobic and showed optimum growth at 30 °C and pH 6.5–8.0. The major respiratory menaquinone was MK-8. The predominant fatty acids in these strains were 16 : 1ω7c, 16 : 0, 15 : 1ω6c, 17 : 0 and 18 : 0. The DNA G+C content of strain KR-200T was 63.9 mol%. Strains KR-196, KR-198 and KR-200T were found to be resistant to >10 kGy gamma radiation. On the basis of the phylogenetic, chemotaxonomic and phenotypic data, strain KR-200T represents a novel species of the genus Deinococcus, for which the name Deinococcus peraridilitoris sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is KR-200T (=LMG 22246T=CIP 109416T).

Gram-negative, facultatively aerobic, chemoheterotrophic, short rod-shaped marine bacterial strains HTCC2662T and HTCC2663, isolated from the Sargasso Sea by using a dilution-to-extinction culturing method, were investigated to determine their taxonomic position. Characterization of the two strains by phenotypic and phylogenetic analyses revealed that they belonged to the same species. The DNA G+C content of strain HTCC2662T was 58.4 mol% and the predominant cellular fatty acids were C18 : 1 ω7c (52.5 %), C16 : 0 2-OH (13.5 %) and C18 : 1 11-methyl ω7c (12.2 %). Phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that the strains represented a distinct line of descent within the genus Ruegeria, with highest sequence similarities to Ruegeria atlantica DSM 5823T (97.2 %), Ruegeria lacuscaerulensis DSM 11314T (96.5 %) and Ruegeria pomeroyi DSM 15171T (95.6 %). Several phenotypic characteristics, including facultatively requiring NaCl and oxygen for growth, together with the cellular fatty acid composition, differentiated strain HTCC2662T from other members of the genus Ruegeria. Based on phenotypic, chemotaxonomic and phylogenetic traits, it is suggested that strains HTCC2662T and HTCC2663 represent a novel species of the genus Ruegeria, for which the name Ruegeria pelagia sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is HTCC2662T (=KCCM 42378T=NBRC 102038T).

Salvia spp. belongs to the Labiatae family and is characterized by antimicrobial and antiinflammatory effect. The aim of this study was to test its in vitro and in vivo inhibitory effect against bacteria as well as to find an alternative possibility to use sage in the rabbit ecosystem examining biochemical, zootechnical and inmunological indicators, compared to the commercial feed mixture Xtract. Using the sage extract in in vitro tests, its inhibitory effect was noted. Under in vivo conditions, in the experimental group with sage (EG1), reduction of Pseudomonas-like sp. (p < 0.01) and E. coli (p < 0.01) was noted after 7 days of sage application compared to the control group CG2 (with Robenidin) as well as after 21 days of sage extract application, when the reduction of coagulase-negative staphylococci (p < 0.01) was detected (in comparison with the experimental group-EG2, Xtract group). In the caecum of rabbits from EG1, higher values of lactic, acetic and butyric acids were noted. The values of propionic acid were not influenced. Biochemical indicators were not influenced; however, the values of GSH Px were lower in EG1 compared to EG2. Higher phagocytic activity (18%) was noted in EG1 than in EG2 (13%) after 21 days of additives application. The reduction of Eimeria sp. oocysts was demonstrated in EG1 (sage group) after 7 days of sage application comparing to CG2 (217 OPG to 566 OPG). The animals in both experimental groups achieved higher feed consumption and weight gain, lower mortality compared to both controls. Neither of the additives had a negative influence on the health status and growth performance of rabbits.

Selection Of

Bacteria of the genus Pseudomonas are often components of bioproducts designed to enhance the condition of the soil and plants. The use of Pseudomonas bacteria in bioproducts must be preceded by the acquisition, characterization and selection of beneficial strains living in the soil. A prerequisite for the selection of bacterial strains for use in bioproducts is to be able to identify the isolates rapidly and accurately. To identify and differentiate 15 bacterial isolates obtained from the soil surrounding the roots of sour cherry trees and to assess their genetic similarity, the rep-PCR technique and restriction analysis of the 16S rRNA gene and the 16S-ITS-23S rRNA operon were used. In addition, a sequence analysis of the 16S rRNA gene was performed. The analyses made it possible to divide the isolates into four clusters and to confirm their affiliation with the Pseudomonas species. RFLP analysis of the 16S-ITS-23S rRNA operon enabled greater differentiation of the isolates than RFLP of the 16S rRNA gene. The greatest differentiation of isolates within the clusters was obtained after using the rep-PCR technique. However, none of the techniques was able to discriminate all the isolates, which indicates very high genetic similarity of the Pseudomonas isolates found in the same sample of soil from around the roots of sour cherry trees. The tests performed will find application for distinguishing and identifying Pseudomonas strains collected from the soil in order to select the most valuable bacterial strains that produce beneficial effects on plants.

In this study, low-rank lignite coal sample collected from Lenger coal deposit (Turkestan province) in Kazakhstan was subjected to desulfurization by using three bacterial strains isolated from soil with silt and coal itself. The molecular identification of the 16S rRNA gene revealed that the isolated bacteria were Atlantibacter sp., Pseudomonas sp., Bacillus sp. denoted as S1, S2, and T1, respectively. Pseudomonas sp. showed the best result in removing organic sulfur (93%) and total sulfur (52%), while Bacillus sp. was effective in removing pyritic sulfur (19%) compared to other strains. However, Atlantibacter sp. had no significant influence on sulfur content after treatment, thereby reducing its chances to be used in decreasing sulfur content in lignite in future investigations. Additionally, this research would be valuable to develop an innovative biotechnological method for producing an environmentally friendly briquetted smokeless fuel from lignite.

Two Gram-negative, non-spore-forming, motile and helical-shaped bacterial strains, K92T and K93, were isolated from sludge from a dye works in Korea, and their taxonomic positions were investigated by means of a polyphasic approach. Strains K92T and K93 grew optimally at 37 °C and pH 7.0–8.0 in the presence of 0.5 % (w/v) NaCl. They contained Q-10 as the predominant ubiquinone and C18 : 1 ω7c as the major fatty acid. The major polar lipids were phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylglycerol, diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine and two unidentified amino-group-containing lipids that were ninhydrin-positive. Their DNA G+C contents were 70.0 mol%. The 16S rRNA gene sequences of K92T and K93 showed no differences, and the two strains had a mean DNA–DNA relatedness of 93 %. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strains K92T and K93 formed a distinct evolutionary lineage within the Alphaproteobacteria. The 16S rRNA gene sequences of strains K92T and K93 exhibited similarity values of less than 91.5 % with respect to the 16S rRNA gene sequences of other members of the Alphaproteobacteria. The two strains were distinguishable from phylogenetically related genera through differences in several phenotypic properties. On the basis of the phenotypic, phylogenetic and genetic data, strains K92T and K93 represent a novel genus and species, for which the name Caenispirillum bisanense gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of Caenispirillum bisanense is K92T (=KCTC 12839T=JCM 14346T).

Background: Anti-cancer activity of some lactic acid bacterial strains is well documented in several literatures. Lactobacillus strains have received considerable attention as a beneficial microbiota. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of anti-tumor activities of L. acidophilus ATCC4356 culture supernatants on the MCF-7 human breast cancer cells. Materials and methods: Anti-cancer effect of 24h and 48h culture supernatants at various concentrations (1.25, 2.5, 5, 10 and 20 µg/ml) were determined by various in vitro and in vivo assays including MTT, tumor volume measurement as well as 99mTc-MIBI biodistribution in MCF-7 tumor bearing nude mice and histopathology test. For evaluation of the related mechanism of action, quantitative PCR was conducted. Results: The 48h culture supernatants at 10 and 20 µg/ml exhibited significant in vitro inhibition of MCF-7 cell proliferation. However, this inhibition was not observed for HUVEC human endothelial normal cells. Q-PCR indicated that treatment by the supernatant led to a significant downregulation of VEGFR ( ̴ 0.009 fold) and Bcl-2 ( ̴ 0.5 fold) and upregulation of p53 ( ̴ 1.3 fold). In vivo study using MCF-7 xenograft mouse models demonstrated reduction in tumor weight and volume by both 24h and 48h supernatants (10 µg/ml and 20 µg/ml) after 15 days. According to the 99mTc-MIBI biodistribution result, treatment of MCF-7 bearing nude mice with both 24h and 48h supernatant (20 µg/ml) led to significant decrease in tumor uptake compared with the control group. Conclusion: These results suggest that the culture supernatants of L. acidophilus ATCC4356 at suitable concentrations can be considered as a good alternative nutraceutical with promising therapeutic indexes for breast cancer.

The 16S Rrna Gene

Two strains of curved bacteria, 7-1T and 7-2T, isolated from well water, were phylogenetically examined to determine their taxonomic position. Strain 7-1T is a Gram-negative, slightly curved rod. Analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence showed that strain 7-1T formed a cluster with [Aquaspirillum] delicatum and [Pseudomonas] lanceolata. It has some similar characteristics to [A.] delicatum and [P.] lanceolata, but has sufficient distance to separate it from other genera. DNA–DNA hybridization analysis, as well as chemotaxonomic and morphological studies, demonstrated that strain 7-1T, [A.] delicatum and [P.] lanceolata belong to a new genus, Curvibacter gen. nov. Strain 7-1T (=IAM 15033T=ATCC BAA-807T) is classified as the type strain of Curvibacter gracilis gen. nov., sp. nov., and [A.] delicatum and [P.] lanceolata are classified as Curvibacter delicatus comb. nov. and Curvibacter lanceolatus comb. nov., respectively. Strain 7-2T is a Gram-negative spirillum. Phylogenetic study based on the 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that it formed a cluster with the members of the genus Herbaspirillum, [Pseudomonas] huttiensis and [Aquaspirillum] autotrophicum. The classification is therefore proposed of strain 7-2T (=IAM 15032T=ATCC BAA-806T) as the type strain of Herbaspirillum putei sp. nov., and [P.] huttiensis and [A.] autotrophicum are transferred to the genus Herbaspirillum as Herbaspirillum huttiense comb. nov. and Herbaspirillum autotrophicum comb. nov., respectively.
