Halophilic archaea of the class Halobacteria are most salt-requiring prokaryotes within domain Archaea . In 1997, minimal standards for description new taxa in order Halobacteriales were proposed. From then on, taxonomy provides an excellent example how changing concepts on prokaryote and development methods implemented. The last decades have witnessed a rapid expansion number described coinciding with era genome sequencing development. current members International Committee Systematics...
Novel species of fungi described in the present study include following from South Africa: Alanphillipsia aloeicola Aloe sp., Arxiella dolichandrae Dolichandra unguiscati, Ganoderma austroafricanum Jacaranda mimosifolia, Phacidiella podocarpi and Phaeosphaeria Podocarpus latifolius, Phyllosticta mimusopisicola Mimusops zeyheri Sphaerulina pelargonii Pelargonium sp. Furthermore, Barssia maroccana is Cedrus atlantica (Morocco), Codinaea pini Pinus patula (Uganda), Crucellisporiopsis marquesiae...
The dark ocean microbiota represents the unknown majority in global waters. SAR202 cluster belonging to phylum Chloroflexi was first microbial lineage discovered specifically inhabit aphotic realm, where they are abundant and globally distributed. absence of cultured representatives is a significant bottleneck towards understanding their metabolic capacities role marine environment. In this work, we use combination metagenome-assembled genomes from deep-sea datasets publicly available...
The aim of this study was to determine the best synbiotic combination (based on growth and short chain fatty acids production) between Pediococcus acidilactici five prebiotics in vitro, inulin, fructooligosaccharide (FOS), xylooligosaccharide (XOS), galactooligosaccharide (GOS), isomaltooligosaccharide (IMO). vitro under aerobic anaerobic culture condition observed treatment, P. + GOS. Furthermore, (SCFA) production at end exponential phase revealed that major SCFA produced propionic acid...
Lake Meyghan is one of the largest and commercially most important salt lakes in Iran. Despite its inland location high altitude, has a thalassohaline composition suggesting marine origin. Inputs fresh water by rivers rainfall formed various basins characterized different salinities. We analyzed microbial community three isolation culturing microorganisms analysis metagenome. The that were investigated comprised green ~50 g kg-1 salinity brine, red ~180 brine white ~300 brine. Using growth...
We present here the findings from a study of microbiome southern basin Caspian Sea, largest water body on Earth disconnected any ocean and brackish inland sea. By high-throughput metagenomics, we were able to reconstruct genomes representative microbes. The gross community structure (at phylum level) was different typical marine freshwater communities in temperate open oceans, with Sea having freshwater-like amounts Actinobacteria Alphaproteobacteria, while Gammaproteobacteria...
Abstract The Persian Gulf, hosting ca. 48% of the world’s oil reserves, has been chronically exposed to natural seepage. Oil spill studies show a shift in microbial community composition response pollution; however, influence chronic exposure on remains unknown. We performed genome-resolved comparative analyses water and sediment samples along Gulf’s pollution continuum (Strait Hormuz, Asalouyeh, Khark Island). Continuous trace amounts primed intrinsic rare marine oil-degrading microbes such...
