A novel UV-resistant bacterium Sphingomonas endolithica sp. nov., and genomic analysis, isolated from the north slope of Mount Everest
Antonie Van Leeuwenhoek. 2023 Dec 28;117(1):5. doi: 10.1007/s10482-023-01903-3.ABSTRACTGram-stain-negative, aerobic, rod-shaped, non-motile bacterium strain ZFBP2030T was isolated from a rock on the North slope of Mount Everest. This strain contained a unique ubiquinone-10 (Q-10) as a predominant respiratory quinone. Among the tested fatty acids, the strain contained summed feature 8, C14:0 2OH, and C16:0, as major cellular fatty acids. The polar lipid profile contained phosphatidyl glycerol, phosphatidyl ethanolamine, three unidentified phospholipids, two unidentified aminolipids, and six unidentified lipids. The cell-wal...

Species distribution and antifungal susceptibility profiles of yeasts isolated from onychomycosis: a cross-sectional study with insights into emerging species
Antonie Van Leeuwenhoek. 2023 Dec 28;117(1):6. doi: 10.1007/s10482-023-01914-0.ABSTRACTCandida onychomycosis is a common fungal infection affecting the nails, primarily caused by Candida (C.) species. Regarding the increasing trend of Candida onychomycosis and the antifungal resistant phenomenon in recent years, this study aims to evaluate the epidemiological characteristics of Candida onychomycosis, the distribution of emerging species, and the antifungal susceptibility profiles of isolates. Onychomycosis caused by yeast species was confirmed through direct examination and culture of nail scraping among all individuals su...

Identification and characterisation of emerging fish pathogens Aeromonas veronii and Aeromonas hydrophila isolated from naturally infected Channa punctata
Antonie Van Leeuwenhoek. 2023 Dec 28;117(1):4. doi: 10.1007/s10482-023-01896-z.ABSTRACTNaturally infected Channa punctata exhibiting bacterial septicemic syndrome including ulcerations along with mortality records were collected from a fish farm in Assam during winter season (early November 2020 to early January 2021). The moribund fishes were subjected for bacterial isolation followed by identification of the bacteria. Two dominant emerging bacterial pathogens were identified as Aeromonas veronii (isolate ZooGURD-01) and Aeromonas hydrophila (isolate ZooGURD-05) by standard biochemical characterization and 16S rRNA and rp...

Revealing viral diversity in the Napahai plateau wetland based on metagenomics
Antonie Van Leeuwenhoek. 2023 Dec 28;117(1):3. doi: 10.1007/s10482-023-01912-2.ABSTRACTWe focused on exploring the diversity of viruses in the Napahai plateau wetland, a unique ecosystem located in Yunnan, China. While viruses in marine environments have been extensively studied for their influence on microbial metabolism and biogeochemical cycles, little is known about their composition and function in plateau wetlands. Metagenomic analysis was employed to investigate the viral diversity and biogeochemical impacts in the Napahai wetland. It revealed that the Caudoviricetes and Malgrandaviricetes class level was the most a...

Roseomonas populi sp. nov., an acetate-degrading bacteria isolated from the stem of Populus tomentosa
Antonie Van Leeuwenhoek. 2023 Dec 26;117(1):2. doi: 10.1007/s10482-023-01911-3.ABSTRACTStrain CN29T, isolated from the stem of 5- to 6-year-old Populus tomentosa in Shandong, China, was characterized using a polyphasic taxonomic approach. Cells of CN29T were Gram-stain negative, aerobic, nonspore-forming, and nonmotile coccoid. Growth occurred at 20-37 °C, pH 4.0-9.0 (optimum, pH 6.0), and with 0-1% NaCl (optimum, 1%). Phylogenetic analysis based on the 16S rRNA gene sequence indicated that strain CN29T was closely related to members of the genus Roseomonas and closest to Roseomonas pecuniae N75T (96.6%).
