The “Other” Rickettsiales : an Overview of the Family “ Candidatus Midichloriaceae”

Citation
Giannotti et al. (2022). Applied and Environmental Microbiology 88 (6)
Names
“Midichloriaceae” Ca. Midichloriaceae
Abstract
Among endosymbiotic bacterial lineages, few are as intensely studied as Rickettsiales , which include the causative agents of spotted fever, typhus, and anaplasmosis. However, an important subgroup called “ Candidatus Midichloriaceae” receives little attention despite accounting for a third of the diversity of Rickettsiales and harboring a wide range of bacteria with unique features, like the ability to infect m

Candidatus Kaistella beijingensis sp. nov., Isolated from a Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plant, Is Involved in Sludge Foaming

Citation
Song et al. (2021). Applied and Environmental Microbiology 87 (24)
Names
Ca. Kaistella beijingensis
Abstract
Biological foaming or scumming is a sludge separation problem that has become the subject of major concern for long-term stable activated sludge operation in decades. Biological foaming was considered induced by foaming bacteria.

Genomic Insights into the Ecological Role and Evolution of a Novel Thermoplasmata Order, “ Candidatus Sysuiplasmatales”

Citation
Yuan et al. (2021). Applied and Environmental Microbiology 87 (22)
Names
Ca. Sysuiplasmatales
Abstract
A wide array of archaea populate Earth’s extreme environments; therefore, they may play important roles in mediating biogeochemical processes such as iron and sulfur cycling. However, our knowledge of archaeal biology and evolution is still limited considering that the majority of the archaeal diversity is uncultured.

The molecular interplay of the establishment of an infection – gene expression of Diaphorina citri gut and Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus

Citation
Bento et al. (2021). BMC Genomics 22 (1)
Names
Ca. Liberibacter asiaticus
Abstract
Abstract Background Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus (CLas) is one the causative agents of greening disease in citrus, an unccurable, devastating disease of citrus worldwide. CLas is vectored by Diaphorina citri, and the understanding of the molecular interplay between vector and pathogen will provide additional basis for the development and implementation of successful management strategies. We focused in the molecular interplay occurring in the gut of the vecto

Relevance of Candidatus Nitrotoga for nitrite oxidation in technical nitrogen removal systems

Citation
Spieck et al. (2021). Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology 105 (19)
Names
Ca. Nitrotoga
Abstract
Abstract Many biotechnological applications deal with nitrification, one of the main steps of the global nitrogen cycle. The biological oxidation of ammonia to nitrite and further to nitrate is critical to avoid environmental damage and its functioning has to be retained even under adverse conditions. Bacteria performing the second reaction, oxidation of nitrite to nitrate, are fastidious microorganisms that are highly sensitive against disturbances. One importan

A Glycolipid Glycosyltransferase with Broad Substrate Specificity from the Marine Bacterium “ Candidatus Pelagibacter sp.” Strain HTCC7211

Citation
Wei et al. (2021). Applied and Environmental Microbiology 87 (14)
Names
Ca. Pelagibacter
Abstract
The bilayer formed by membrane lipids serves as the containment unit for living microbial cells. In the marine environment, it has been firmly established that phytoplankton and heterotrophic bacteria can substitute phospholipids with nonphosphorus sugar-containing glycoglycerolipids in response to phosphorus limitation.
