Metabolic Versatility of the FamilyHalieaceaeRevealed by the Genomics of Novel Cultured Isolates

Citation
Li et al. (2023). Microbiology Spectrum 11 (2)
Names
Litorirhabdus singularis Ts Marimicrobium litorale Litorirhabdus Seongchinamella marina Paraluminiphilus aquimaris Ts Paraluminiphilus
Abstract
Although the familyHalieaceae(OM60/NOR5 clade) is an abundant and cosmopolitan clade widely found in coastal seas and involved in interactions with phytoplankton, a limited number of cultured isolates are available. In this study, we isolated six pure culturedHalieaceaestrains from coastal seawaters and performed a comparative physiological and genomic analysis to give insights into the phylogeny and metabolic potential of this family.

Genetic Diversity of “ Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus” Based on Four Hypervariable Genomic Regions in China

Citation
Gao et al. (2022). Microbiology Spectrum 10 (6)
Names
Ca. Liberibacter asiaticus
Abstract
The hypervariable genomic regions derived from 35 published C Las genomes were used to decipher the genetic diversity of C Las strains and identify 10 new strains with high variations in prophage regions. Characterizing these variations in the C Las bacteria might provide insight into their evolution and adaptation to host plants and insects in China.

Mutual Exclusion of Methanobrevibacter Species in the Human Gut Microbiota Facilitates Directed Cultivation of a Candidatus Methanobrevibacter Intestini Representative

Citation
Low et al. (2022). Microbiology Spectrum 10 (4)
Names
Methanobrevibacter intestini Methanobrevibacter
Abstract
Methanogens are important hydrogen consumers in the gut and are associated with differing host health. Here, we determine the prevalence and abundance of archaeal species in the guts of a multi-ethnic cohort of healthy Singapore residents.
