Summary As in many deep underground environments, the microbial communities in subsurface high‐CO 2 ecosystems remain relatively unexplored. Recent investigations based on single‐gene assays revealed a remarkable variety of organisms from little studied phyla in Crystal Geyser (Utah, USA), a site where deeply sourced CO 2

ABSTRACT Presented here is the complete genome sequence of the well-studied Rhizobiales methanotroph Methylosinus trichosporium strain OB3b. The assembly contains 5,183,433 bp, corresponding to a chromosome of 4,508,832 bp and three circular plasmids of 285,280 bp, 209,102 bp, and 180,219 bp.

Three Gram-negative bacterial strains were isolated from the biofilter of a recirculating marine aquaculture. They were non-pigmented rods, mesophiles, moderately halophilic, and showed chemo-organoheterotrophic growth on various sugars, fatty acids, and amino acids, with oxygen as electron acceptor; strains D9-3(T) and D11-58 were in addition able to denitrify. Phototrophic or fermentative growth could not be demonstrated. Phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequences placed D9-3(T) and

The expression of many membrane bound [NiFe] hydrogenases is regulated by their substrate molecule, hydrogen. The HupSL hydrogenase, encoded in the hupSLCDHIR operon, probably plays a role in hydrogen recycling in the phototrophic purple bacterium, Thiocapsa roseopersicina BBS. RpoN, coding for sigma factor 54, was shown to be important for expression, suggesting a regulated biosynthsis from the hup gene clu

In this work, we report the cloning and sequencing of the Azorhizobium caulinodans ORS571 hydrogenase gene cluster. Sequence analysis revealed the presence of 20 open reading frames hupTUVhypFhupSLCDFGHJK hypABhupRhypCDEhupE. The physical and genetic organization of A. caulinodans ORS571 hydrogenase system suggests a close relatedness to that of Rhodobacter capsulatus. In contrast to the latter species, a gene homologous to Rhizobium leguminosarum hupE was identified downstream of the hyp operon

The hupT gene, which represses hydrogenase gene expression in the purple photosynthetic bacterium Rhodobacter capsulatus, has been identified and sequenced. The nucleotide sequence of hupT and of the contiguous downstream open reading frame, hupU, is reported. The HupT protein of 456 amino acids (48,414 Da) has sequence similarity with the FixL, DctB, NtrB, and ArcB proteins and is predicted to be a soluble sensor kinase. Insertional inactivation of the hupT gene led to deregulation of t

Rhodopseudomonas palustris is among the most metabolically versatile bacteria known. It uses light, inorganic compounds, or organic compounds, for energy. It acquires carbon from many types of green plant-derived compounds or by carbon dioxide fixation, and it fixes nitrogen. Here we describe the genome sequence of R. palustris, which consists of a 5,459,213-base-pair (bp) circular chromosome with 4,836 predicted genes and a plasmid of 8,427 bp. The sequence reveals genes that confer a remarkabl

Novosphingobium nitrogenifigens was originally isolated from pulp and paper mill wastewater, a low-nitrogen, high-carbon environment. N. nitrogenifigens is the first known nitrogen-fixing, polyhydroxyalkanoate-accumulating sphingomonad, and we report the annotated draft genome sequence of the type strain Y88(T) here.
