A novel haloalkaliphilic bacterium, designated G-116T, was isolated from the decaying biomass of a laboratory culture of cyanobacterium Geitlerinema species. Cells of strain G-116T were Gram-stain-negative, motile spirilla. Strain G-116T showed high halotolerance to 20 % (w/v) NaCl (optimum growth at 3.5–6.0 %, w/v) and obligately alkaliphilic growth within the pH range 7.3–10.4 (optimum growth at pH 8.7–8.9). The major fatty acids identified were C16:0, summed feature 8 (C18:1 ω7c/C18 :1 ω6c), summed feature 3 (C16:1 ω7c/C16 :1 ω6c) and C19:0 cyclo ω8c. The polar lipids consisted of phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, diphosphatidylglycerol, an unidentified phospholipid, three unidentified amino lipids and five unidentified lipids. The predominant respiratory quinone was ubiquinone-8 (Q-8). The G+C content of the genomic DNA was 60.4 mol%. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that the closest genus with a validly published name is a monotypic Salinispirillum and strain G-116T clustered with Salinispirillum marinum GCWy1T with a 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity of 94.3 %. Based on the data obtained from phenotypic and chemotaxonomic studies and the phylogenetic analysis, the isolate is proposed to be a representative of a novel genus and a novel species, Natronospirillum operosum gen. nov., sp. nov. Together with S. marinum they form a separate clade, for which a novel family, Natronospirillaceae fam. nov., is proposed. In addition, Saccharospirillaceae fam. nov. and Gynuellaceae fam. nov. are proposed to encompass the genera Saccharospirillum and Reinekea , and the genus Gynuella , respectively. All three novel families are within the order Oceanospirillales of the class Gammaproteobacteria . The type strain of the type species, Natronospirillum operosum gen. nov., sp. nov. is G-116T (=VKM B-3134T=KCTC 62956T).

In this study, the magnetic properties of magnetosomes isolated from lyophilized magnetotactic bacteria Magnetospirillum caucaseum SO-1 were assessed for the first time. The shape and size of magnetosomes and cell fragments were studied by electron microscopy and dynamic light scattering techniques. Phase and elemental composition were analyzed by X-ray and electron diffraction and Raman spectroscopy. Magnetic properties were studied using vibrating sample magnetometry and electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy. Theoretical analysis of the magnetic properties was carried out using the model of clusters of magnetostatically interacting two-phase particles and a modified method of moments for a system of dipole–dipole-interacting uniaxial particles. Magnetic properties were controlled mostly by random aggregates of magnetosomes, with a minor contribution from preserved magnetosome chains. Results confirmed the high chemical stability and homogeneity of bacterial magnetosomes in comparison to synthetic iron oxide magnetic nanoparticles.

A mesophilic filamentous anoxygenic phototrophic bacterium, designated M50-1, was isolated from a microbial mat of the Chukhyn Nur soda lake (northeastern Mongolia) with salinity of 5−14 g/L and pH 8.0−9.3. The organism is a strictly anaerobic phototrophic bacterium, which required sulfide for phototrophic growth. The cells formed short undulate trichomes surrounded by a thin sheath and containing gas vesicles. Motility of the trichomes was not observed. The cells contained chlorosomes. The antenna pigments were bacteriochlorophyll d and β- and γ-carotenes. Analysis of the genome assembled from the metagenome of the enrichment culture revealed all the enzymes of the 3-hydroxypropionate bi-cycle for autotrophic CO2 assimilation. The genome also contained the genes encoding a type IV sulfide:quinone oxidoreductase (sqrX). The organism had no nifHDBK genes, encoding the proteins of the nitrogenase complex responsible for dinitrogen fixation. The DNA G + C content was 58.6%. The values for in silico DNA‒DNA hybridization and average nucleotide identity between M50-1 and a closely related bacterium ‘Ca. Chloroploca asiatica’ B7-9 containing bacteriochlorophyll c were 53.4% and 94.0%, respectively, which corresponds to interspecies differences. Classification of the filamentous anoxygenic phototrophic bacterium M50-1 as a new ‘Ca. Chloroploca’ species was proposed, with the species name ‘Candidatus Chloroploca mongolica’ sp. nov.

Strain LBB-42T was isolated from sediment sampled at Lake Beloe Bordukovskoe, located in the Moscow region (Russia). Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequencing results assigned the strain to the genus Magnetospirillum . Major fatty acids were C16 : 1ω7c, C16 : 0 and C18 : 1 ω9/C18 : 1 ω7. Genome sequencing revealed a genome size of 4.40 Mbp and a G+C content of 63.4 mol%. The average nucleotide identity and digital DNA–DNA hybridization values suggested that strain LBB-42T represents a new species, for which we propose the name Magnetospirillum kuznetsovii sp. nov., with the type strain LBB-42T (=VKM B-3270T=KCTC 15749T).

Chloroflexales bacteria are mostly known as filamentous anoxygenic phototrophs that thrive as members of the microbial communities of hot spring cyanobacterial mats. Recently, we described many new Chloroflexales species from non-thermal environments and showed that mesophilic Chloroflexales are more diverse than previously expected. Most of these species were isolated from aquatic environments of mid-latitudes. Here, we present the comprehensive characterization of a new filamentous multicellular anoxygenic phototrophic Chloroflexales bacterium from an Arctic coastal environment (Kandalaksha Gulf, the White Sea). Phylogenomic analysis and 16S rRNA phylogeny indicated that this bacterium belongs to the Oscillochloridaceae family as a new species. We propose that this species be named ‘Candidatus Oscillochloris kuznetsovii’. The genomes of this species possessed genes encoding sulfide:quinone reductase, the nitrogenase complex and the Calvin cycle, which indicate potential for photoautotrophic metabolism. We observed only mesophilic anaerobic anoxygenic phototrophic growth of this novel bacterium. Electron microphotography showed the presence of chlorosomes, polyhydroxyalkanoate-like granules and polyphosphate-like granules in the cells. High-performance liquid chromatography also revealed the presence of bacteriochlorophylls a, c and d as well as carotenoids. In addition, we found that this bacterium is present in benthic microbial communities of various coastal environments of the Kandalaksha Gulf.

Magnetotactic bacteria are widely represented microorganisms that have the ability to synthesize magnetosomes. The magnetotactic cocci of the order Magnetococcales are the most frequently identified, but their classification remains unclear due to the low number of cultivated representatives. This paper reports the analysis of an uncultivated magnetotactic coccus UR-1 collected from the Uda River (in eastern Siberia). Genome analyses of this bacterium and comparison to the available Magnetococcales genomes identified a novel species called “Ca. Magnetaquicoccus inordinatus,” and a delineated candidate family “Ca. Magnetaquicoccaceae” within the order Magnetococcales is proposed. We used average amino acid identity values

According to 16S rRNA gene- or genome-based phylogeny, magnetotactic bacteria (MTB) belong to diverse taxonomic groups. Here we analyzed the diversity of MTB in a sample taken from the freshwater lake Beloe Bordukovskoe near Moscow, Russia, by using molecular identification based on sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene andmamK, a specific marker gene for these bacteria. A protein encoded by themamKgene is involved in magnetosome chain arrangement inside the cell. As a result, six operational taxonomic units (OTUs) of MTB were identified. Among them, OTUs affiliated with the phylumNitrospiraewere predominant. ‘Ca. Etaproteobacteria’ andAlphaproteobacteriarepresented the minor groups of MTB. We also identified a novel MTB belonging to the familySyntrophaceaeof theDeltaproteobacteriaclass. Using a combination of fluorescence and transmission electron microscopy, the bacteria belonging to these new MTB groups were visualized. Electron microscopy revealed thatSyntrophaceaeMTB were rod-shaped and synthesized elongated magnetosomes, arranged as a disorganized cluster. Among theNitrospiraegroup, two groups with vibrioid cell shape and one group of ovoid-shaped bacteria were identified, all of which had elongated magnetosome crystals consisting of magnetite.

We present the results of a study of mesophilic anoxygenic phototrophic Chloroflexota bacteria from Mechigmen hot spring (the Chukotka Peninsula) and Siberia. According to 16S rRNA phylogenetic analysis, these bacteria belong to Oscillochloris trichoides. However, sequencing the draft genome of the bacterium from the Chukotka and analysis of the average nucleotide identity, as well as in silico DNA-DNA hybridization, reveal that this bacterium belongs to a novel species within the Oscillochloris genus. We, therefore, propose ‘Candidatus Oscillochloris fontis’ as a novel taxon to represent this mesophilic alkaliphilic anaerobic anoxygenic phototrophic bacterium. Spectrophotometry and high-performance liquid chromatography analysis show that the bacterium possesses bacteriochlorophylls c and a, as well as lycopene, β-carotene and γ-carotene. In addition, transmission electron microscopy shows the presence of chlorosomes, polyhydroxyalkanoate- and polyphosphate-like granules. The genome of ‘Ca. Oscillochloris fontis’ and the Siberian strains of Oscillochloris sp. possess the key genes for nitrogenase complex (nifH) and ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (cbbL), as previously described for O. trichoides DG-6. The results presented here, and previously published data, show that Oscillochloris bacteria from different aquatic environments have the potential for CO2 and N2 fixation. Additionally, we describe a new primer system for the detection of RuBisCo form I.

In this article, we present the description of a novel mesophilic phototrophic Chloroflexi bacterium, 'Candidatus Viridilinea mediisalina' Kir15-3F. We have isolated an anaerobic, highly enriched culture of this bacterium from the Kiran soda lake (Siberia) and optimized its cultivation. Metagenomic sequencing revealed that 'Ca. Viridilinea mediisalina' Kir15-3F is a bacteriochlorophyll-containing Chloroflexi bacterium in the enrichment culture. Fluorescent in situ hybridisation demonstrated a link between the phenotype described here and the 'Ca. Viridilinea mediisalina' Kir15-3F genome. Spectrophotometry and high-performance liquid chromatography analyses showed the presence of bacteriochlorophylls d, c and a, as well as lycopene, γ-carotene and β-carotene. Transmission electron microscopy showed chlorosomes, gas vesicles, polyhydroxyalkanoate-like and polyphosphate-like granules. Our results illustrated that 'Ca. Viridilinea mediisalina' Kir15-3F is an alkaliphilic, salt-tolerant, obligately mesophilic, anaerobic, phototrophic bacterium. The genome sequences lack genes of the Calvin cycle and a sulphide:quinone reductase gene for sulphide oxidation. Owing to the lack of an axenic culture and based on the genomic and phenotypic data, we have presented the description of the bacterium in the Candidatus category.

Three strains of helical, magnetotactic bacteria, SO-1T, SP-1T and BB-1T, were isolated from freshwater sediments collected from three distinct locations in European Russia. Phylogenetic analysis showed that the strains belong to the genus Magnetospirillum. Strains SO-1T and SP-1T showed the highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity to Magnetospirillum magnetotacticum MS-1T (99.3 and 98.1 %, respectively), and strain BB-1T with Magnetospirillum gryphiswaldense MSR-1T (97.3 %). The tree based on concatenated deduced amino acid sequences of the MamA, B, K, M, O, P, Q and T proteins, which are involved in magnetosome formation, was congruent with the tree based on 16S rRNA gene sequences. The genomic DNA G+C contents of strains SO-1T, SP-1T and BB-1T were 65.9, 63.0 and 65.2 mol%, respectively. As major fatty acids, C18 : 1ω9, C16 : 1ω7c, C16 : 0 and C18 : 0 were detected. DNA-DNA hybridization values between the novel strains and their closest relatives in the genus Magnetospirillum were less than 51.7 ± 2.3 %. In contrast to M. magnetotacticum MS-1T, the strains could utilize butyrate and propionate; strains SO-1T and BB-1T could also utilize glycerol. Strain SP-1T showed strictly microaerophilic growth, whereas strains SO-1T and BB-1T were more tolerant of oxygen. The results of DNA-DNA hybridization and physiological tests allowed genotypic and phenotypic differentiation of the strains from each other as well as from the two species of Magnetospirillum with validly published names. Therefore, the strains represent novel species, for which we propose the names Magnetospirillum caucaseum sp. nov. (type strain SO-1T = DSM 28995T = VKM B-2936T), Magnetospirillum marisnigri sp. nov. (type strain SP-1T = DSM 29006T = VKM B-2938T) and Magnetospirillum moscoviense sp. nov. (type strain BB-1T = DSM 29455T = VKM B-2939T).
