Deciphering Symbiotic Interactions of “ Candidatus Aenigmarchaeota” with Inferred Horizontal Gene Transfers and Co-occurrence Networks

Citation
Li et al. (2021). mSystems 6 (4)
Names
Ca. Aenigmarchaeota
Abstract
Recent advances in sequencing technology promoted the blowout discovery of super tiny microbes in the Diapherotrites , Parvarchaeota , Aenigmarchaeota , Nanoarchaeota , and Nanohaloarchaeota (DPANN) superphylum. However, the unculturable properties of the majority of microbes impeded our investigation of their behavior and symbiotic lifestyle in the corresponding c

Sequence specific integration by the family 1 casposase from Candidatus Nitrosopumilus koreensis AR1

Names
Ca. Nitrosopumilus koreensis
Abstract
Abstract Casposase, a homolog of Cas1 integrase, is encoded by a superfamily of mobile genetic elements known as casposons. While family 2 casposase has been well documented in both function and structure, little is known about the other three casposase families. Here, we studied the family 1 casposase lacking the helix-turn-helix (HTH) domain from Candidatus Nitrosopumilus koreensis AR1 (Ca. N. koreensis). The determinants for integration by Ca. N. koreensis casposase were extens

‘Candidatus Chloroploca mongolica’ sp. nov. a new mesophilic filamentous anoxygenic phototrophic bacterium

Citation
Bryantseva et al. (2021). FEMS Microbiology Letters 368 (16)
Names
Ca. Chloroploca “Chloroploca asiatica” Ca. Chloroploca mongolica
Abstract
ABSTRACT A mesophilic filamentous anoxygenic phototrophic bacterium, designated M50-1, was isolated from a microbial mat of the Chukhyn Nur soda lake (northeastern Mongolia) with salinity of 5−14 g/L and pH 8.0−9.3. The organism is a strictly anaerobic phototrophic bacterium, which required sulfide for phototrophic growth. The cells formed short undulate trichomes surrounded by a thin sheath and containing gas vesicles. Motility of the trichomes was not observed. The cells contain

Complete Genome Sequence of Rhynchophorus ferrugineus Endocytobiont “ Candidatus Nardonella dryophthoridicola” Strain NardRF

Names
“Nardonella dryophthoridicola”
Abstract
We report the complete genome sequence and annotation of “ Candidatus Nardonella dryophthoridicola” strain NardRF, obtained by sequencing its host bacteriome, Rhynchophorus ferrugineus , using Oxford Nanopore technology.

Genomic insights into diverse bacterial taxa that degrade extracellular DNA in marine sediments

Names
“Izemoplasma acidinucleici” Ca. Izemoplasma Ca. Izemoplasmatales
Abstract
AbstractExtracellular DNA is a major macromolecule in global element cycles, and is a particularly crucial phosphorus, nitrogen and carbon source for microorganisms in the seafloor. Nevertheless, the identities, ecophysiology and genetic features of DNA-foraging microorganisms in marine sediments are largely unknown. Here, we combined microcosm experiments, DNA stable isotope probing (SIP), single-cell SIP using nano-scale secondary isotope mass spectrometry (NanoSIMS) and genome-centric metagen

Complete Genome Sequence of Strain JB001, a Member of Saccharibacteria Clade G6 (“ Candidatus Nanogingivalaceae”)

Citation
Baker (2021). Microbiology Resource Announcements 10 (23)
Names
“Nanogingivalaceae”
Abstract
At least 6 highly diverse clades of Saccharibacteria inhabit the human oral cavity. However, all oral Saccharibacteria strains with currently available complete genome sequences or cultured isolates belong to clade G1, leaving clades G2 through G6 poorly understood. Here, a complete genome sequence of JB001, a clade G6 (“ Candidatus Nanogingivalaceae”) Saccharibacteria strain, is reported.

Complete Genome Sequence of the Endosymbiotic Bacterium “ Candidatus Riesia pediculicola”

Park et al. (2021). Microbiology Resource Announcements 10 (18)
Names
Ca. Riesia pediculicola
Abstract
Human head and body lice host the obligate endosymbiotic bacterium “ Candidatus Riesia pediculicola.” In this announcement, we describe the complete genome sequence of a “ Ca. Riesia pediculicola” strain isolated from the human head louse, Pediculus humanus subsp. capitis . The inter- and intraspecific variations of endosymbiont genomes were investigated, and this strain was found to disp
