Expanding the rumen Prevotella collection: The description of Prevotella communis, sp. nov. of ovine origin
We examined six strains in genomic and phenotypic detail, two of which may actually be the same strain isolated nearly three weeks apart. Other strains formed clearly diverged intraspecies lineages as evidenced by core genome phylogeny and phenotypic differences. Strains of the proposed new Prevotella species are strictly saccharolytic as is usual for rumen Prevotella, and use plant cell-wall xylans and pectins for growth. However, the range of cell-wall polysaccharides utilised for growth is rather limited compared to rumen generalists such as Prevotella bryantii or Prevotella ruminicola and this extends also to the inabi...

Fontisphaera persica gen. nov., sp. nov., a thermophilic hydrolytic bacterium from a hot spring of Baikal lake region, and proposal of Fontisphaeraceae fam. nov., and Limisphaeraceae fam. nov. within the Limisphaerales ord. nov. (Verrucomicrobiota)
This study allowed a better understanding of physiology and ecology of Verrucomicrobiota - a rather understudied bacterial phylum.PMID:37263084 | DOI:10.1016/j.syapm.2023.126438 (Source: Systematic and Applied Microbiology)

Microbial community on industrial salty bovine hides: From the slaughterhouse to the salting
Syst Appl Microbiol. 2023 May 18;46(4):126421. doi: 10.1016/j.syapm.2023.126421. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe leather-making industry is an age-old industry and desiccation with salt has been one of the most used methodologies for obtaining valuable skins. However, halophiles may proliferate and affect the integrity of the hide-collagen structure, as well as leading to undesirable red colorations or less-frequent purple stains. To understand the basis of these industrial hide contaminations, the microbial community from raw hide samples, salt-cured samples and four different industrial salts, was analyzed by 16S rRNA ...

Genetic diversity, symbiotic efficiency, stress tolerance, and plant growth promotion traits of rhizobia nodulating Vachellia tortilis subsp. raddiana growing in dryland soils in southern Morocco
Syst Appl Microbiol. 2023 May 15;46(4):126434. doi: 10.1016/j.syapm.2023.126434. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIn the present study, we analyzed the genetic diversity, phylogenetic relationships, stress tolerance, phytobeneficial traits, and symbiotic characteristics of rhizobial strains isolated from root nodules of Vachellia tortilis subsp. raddiana grown in soils collected in the extreme Southwest of the Anti-Atlas Mountains in Morocco. Subsequent to Rep-PCR fingerprinting, 16S rDNA gene sequencing of 15 representative strains showed that all of them belong to the genus Ensifer. Phylogenetic analysis and concatenation o...
