Oceanihabitans is a genus of marine bacterium in the family Flavobacteriaceae . It contains a single species, O. sediminis. [1] It is aerobic, Gram-negative, rod-shaped, and motile by gliding. O. sediminis produces flexirubin pigments. It is positive for cytochrome c oxidase and catalase. O. sediminis can use glucose, mannose, maltose and adipic acid as sole carbon sources for chemoheterotrophic growth. It is a chemoorganotroph and is chemotaxonomically characterized by the presence of menaquinone 6 (MK-6). The type strain is S9-10T.

Physiology

O. sediminis is an aerobic microbe and is unable to grow under anaerobic or microaerophilic conditions. The major respiratory quinone is MK-6. It is cytochrome c oxidase and catalase positive. [1] Oceanihabitans sediminis is capable of synthesizing a variety of hydrolytic enzymes including alkaline phosphatase, acid phosphatase, esterase lipase (C8), cysteine arylamidase, leucine arylamidase, valine arylamidase, naphthol-AS-Bi-phosphohydrolase, and chymotrypsin. [1] A positive leucine arylamidase result indicates O. sediminis can hydrolyze proteins into oligopeptides or individual amino acids. [2] The products of this reaction can serve as substrates for cell metabolism. A positive esterase lipase result indicates O. sediminis can break down emulsified mono-, di and triglycerides into glycerol and fatty acid residues. [2]

Ecology

Members of the family Flavobacteriaceae are distributed globally. However, the abundance and diversity increases south of the polar front. [3] O. sediminis strain S9-10T was isolated from a sediment sample in the northern Yellow Sea in China. The phosphatase activity of marine microorganisms plays a pivotal role in phosphorus and carbon biogeochemical cycles. [4] Phosphatase-producing bacteria are capable of hydrolyzing specific dissolved organic phosphorus compounds. This supplies pools of phosphorus and carbon to heterotrophic and autotrophic microbes. [4]

Physiology

O. sediminis is closely related to the genera Bizionia , Olleya , Lacinutrix , Algibacter , Winogradskyella,and Gaetbulibacter . Its DNA G+C content was 34.2 mol% which is consistent with other genera in the family Flavobacteriaceae. [1]  The predominant cellular fatty acids are iso-C15:0 (21.1 %), iso- C15:1G (16.3 %) and iso-C17:0 3-OH (12.0 %). The polar lipids are phosphatidylethanolamine, aminophospholipid, aminoglycolipid, two unidentified amino-lipids, and five unidentified polar lipids.[ citation needed ]

Etymology: botniense; of Botnia, referring to the Latin name of the province of Finland from which the isolation was made.

Mycobacterium vanbaalenii is a rapidly growing mycobacterium that can use polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. It was first isolated from petroleum-contaminated estuarine sediments and has been shown by 16S rRNA gene sequencing to be closely related to Mycobacterium aurum and Mycobacterium vaccae.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Alishewanella fetalis</span> Species of bacterium

The genus Alishewanella is one of the major branches of the family Alteromonadaceae. It was proposed to accommodate A. fetalis, isolated from an autopsy of a human fetus, in 2000. In 2009, A. aestuarii was isolated from tidal flat sediment and indicated as being a representative of Alishewanella. The third Alishewanella species was isolated from gajami sikhae, a Korean fermented food, in 2009 and was given the name A. jeotgali. Most recently, in 2010, the fourth currently isolated species of Alishewanella, A. agri, was isolated from landfill soil in Korea. Currently these are the only four isolated and characterized species of the genus Alishewanella.

Parasutterella is a genus of Gram-negative, circular/rod-shaped, obligate anaerobic, non-spore forming bacteria from the Pseudomonadota phylum, Betaproteobacteria class and the family Sutterellaceae. Previously, this genus was considered "unculturable," meaning that it could not be characterized through conventional laboratory techniques, such as grow in culture due its unique requirements of anaerobic environment. The genus was initially discovered through 16S rRNA sequencing and bioinformatics analysis. By analyzing the sequence similarity, Parasutterella was determined to be related most closely to the genus Sutterella and previously classified in the family Alcaligenaceae.

<i>Brevinema andersonii</i> Species of bacterium

Brevinema andersonii, named for John F. Anderson, who first described the organism. This organism is a Gram-negative, microaerophilic, helical shaped, chemoorganotrophic organism from the genus Brevinema. Brevinema andersonii is host associated, strains have been isolated from blood and other tissues of short-tailed shrews and white-footed mice and are infectious for laboratory mice and Syrian hamsters.B. andersonii is readily identified by restriction enzyme analysis, and SDS-PAGE, or fatty acid composition data. Another identifier for B. andersonii is the sheathed periplasmic flagella in the 1-2-1 configuration. While cells are visible by dark-field or phase-contrast microscopy, they cannot be seen when bright-field microscopy is used.

They have been mostly adapted to cool marine ecosystems, and their optimal growth range is at a temperature between 10 and 32 °C and at a pH of 7.0 to 8.0. They are oxidase and catalase-positive and are able to grow using carbohydrates, amino acids, and organic acids.
