Bacterial Phylum Actinobacteria01:30

Bacterial Phylum Actinobacteria

823
Coryneform bacteria are gram-positive, aerobic, nonmotile rods that exhibit irregular, club-shaped, or V-shaped arrangements. Their V-shape results from snapping division, where the inner cell wall layer forms the cross-wall, while the outer layer remains intact until it ruptures on one side, causing the daughter cells to bend away.The primary genera are Corynebacterium and Arthrobacter. Corynebacterium includes diverse species, ranging from saprophytes to pathogens like Corynebacterium...

Bacterial Phylum Firmicutes01:27

Bacterial Phylum Firmicutes

1.2K
Firmicutes is a diverse phylum of Gram-positive bacteria characterized by a low GC content in their genomes. This phylum includes organisms with monoderm or diderm cell envelopes, highlighting a complex evolutionary history. Firmicutes comprises several major orders, including Lactobacillales, Clostridiales, and Bacillales, which exhibit remarkable diversity in their morphology, metabolism, and ecological roles.The order Lactobacillales includes lactic acid bacteria, which are fermentative...

Bacterial Phylum Bacteroidota01:26

Bacterial Phylum Bacteroidota

824
The phylum Bacteroidota includes over 700 species classified into four primary orders: Bacteroidales, Cytophagales, Flavobacteriales, and Sphingobacteriales. These gram-negative, non-sporulating rods exhibit saccharolytic capabilities and can be aerobic or fermentative, encompassing obligate aerobes, facultative aerobes, and obligate anaerobes. Many species display gliding motility, though some are nonmotile or use flagella. The genus Bacteroides is well-studied due to its significant role in...

Bacterial Phylum Spirochaetes01:30

Bacterial Phylum Spirochaetes

1.1K
Spirochetes, unique bacteria in the phylum Spirochaetes, are gram-negative, motile, tightly coiled, slender, and flexible. They inhabit aquatic sediments and animals, with some causing diseases like syphilis. Spirochetes are classified into eight genera based on habitat, pathogenicity, phylogeny, and characteristics.Their distinctive motility arises from endoflagella, located within the cell’s periplasm. These endoflagella anchor at the cell poles and extend along the cell length, encased...

Bacterial Phylum Planctomycetes01:26

Bacterial Phylum Planctomycetes

527
Planctomycetes are a group of morphologically distinct bacteria predominantly classified into two orders: Planctomycetales and Brocadiales. These gram-negative bacteria exhibit unique features, including division by budding and the presence of stalks or appendages. Their cells are often found in rosette arrangements, and they are notable for possessing an S-layer in their cell envelope, which is relatively uncommon among bacteria. Additionally, Planctomycetes frequently exhibit intracellular...

Microbiota of the Large Intestine01:27

Microbiota of the Large Intestine

2
The large intestine hosts the most densely populated microbial ecosystem in the human body. This complex community primarily consists of anaerobic bacteria, with Bacillota (formerly Firmicutes) and Bacteroidota (formerly Bacteroidetes) as the predominant groups. The distribution of these microbes varies along different sections of the large intestine, influenced by local environmental factors such as oxygen availability and nutrient composition.The cecum, located at the beginning of the large...

Area of Science:

  • Microbiology
  • Bacteriology
  • Taxonomy

Background:

  • The genus Fontibacillus comprises bacteria with diverse environmental origins.
  • Accurate bacterial classification is crucial for understanding microbial diversity and ecological roles.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To taxonomically characterize a novel bacterial strain, DSHK107(T), isolated from soil in Turkey.
  • To determine if strain DSHK107(T) represents a new species within the genus Fontibacillus.

Main Methods:

  • Polyphasic taxonomic approach including phenotypic, chemotaxonomic, and genotypic analyses.
  • 16S rRNA gene sequencing for phylogenetic analysis.
  • DNA-DNA hybridization to assess genomic relatedness with related species.

Main Results:

  • Strain DSHK107(T) is a Gram-stain-negative, motile, catalase- and oxidase-positive bacterium.
  • Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences placed strain DSHK107(T) within the genus Fontibacillus.
  • DNA-DNA hybridization values were below the threshold for species delineation with related Fontibacillus species.

Conclusions:

  • Strain DSHK107(T) represents a distinct and previously unrecognized species within the genus Fontibacillus.
  • The novel species is named Fontibacillus pullulanilyticus sp. nov., with DSHK107(T) as the type strain.
