rRNA operon improves species-level classification of bacteria and microbial community analysis compared to 16S rRNA

Microbiology Spectrum
Precise identification of species is fundamental in microbial genomics and is crucial for understanding the microbial communities. While the 16S rRNA gene, particularly its V3-V4 regions, has been extensively employed for microbial identification ...

Near‐infrared confocal imaging reveals the spatial organisation of far‐red photosynthesis in Shark Bay microbial mats and Halomicronema sp.

Journal of Microscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Far‐red light (FRL) cyanobacteria occupy spectrally filtered habitats where visible wavelengths are depleted but far‐red radiation persists. Shark Bay (Western Australia) stromatolitic microbial mats provide such a habitat, containing subsurface cyanobacterial communities in which chlorophyll d/f (Chl d/f)‐containing phototrophs coexist with ...

Comprehensive revision of Mallomonas sect. Peroneides stat. nov. (Chrysophyceae) integrating morphology and multigene phylogeny

Journal of Phycology, EarlyView.
Abstract Mallomonas is among the most diverse genera of Chrysophyceae, yet many of its lineages remain taxonomically unresolved due to limited molecular sampling. Mallomonas series Peronoides, historically limited to four species, has posed persistent taxonomic difficulties, most notably the long‐standing and problematic reliance on a rare ...

Ariadnema polymorpha gen. et sp. nov. (Scytonemataceae, Cyanobacteria): A new heterocytous cyanobacterium with true and false branching from ruins in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest

Journal of Phycology, EarlyView.
Abstract A novel heterocytous Cyanobacterium, Ariadnema polymorpha gen. et sp. nov., was observed in the northern Brazilian Atlantic Forest (BAF), a globally significant biodiversity hotspot that has microbiome diversity yet to be explored. Isolated from ancient sugarcane mill ruins within the BAF, the new genus (strain CCAPE130) exhibits a unique ...

Circumscription of three new taxa of Merismopedia‐like Cyanobacteria shows how far convergent evolution can go

Journal of Phycology, EarlyView.
Abstract The genus Merismopedia (Merismopediaceae, Chroococcales), characterized by rectangular colonies with cells arranged in regular perpendicular rows and columns, represents a challenging study system due to its limited cultivability. The genus recently underwent taxonomic revision using cultivation‐independent techniques and a polyphasic approach.

Regulation by the Transcriptional Regulator YdcI in E. coli and (p)ppGpp‐Dependent Activation of ydcI Expression

Molecular Microbiology, EarlyView.
YdcI, a LysR‐type transcription regulator in Escherichia coli, regulates loci like iraP and mqo. Its expression is induced by (p)ppGpp under stress conditions, and protein levels rise during mid‐exponential growth, connecting its role to stress response and metabolism control. ABSTRACT YdcI, a LysR‐type transcription regulator, has been associated with

Rapid Translation of the Early Coding Region Promotes Premature Transcription Termination, Reducing Protein Expression in Escherichia coli

Molecular Microbiology, EarlyView.
A run of consecutive fast‐translated codons (right) within the first 30 codons of lacZ (top) causes loss of the downstream transcript at positions coinciding with previously mapped intragenic Rho‐dependent termination sites (middle), and a corresponding loss of β‐galactosidase activity (bottom).

Bacterial composition of Polygenis (Polygenis) bohlsi bohlsi (Wagner, 1901) (Siphonaptera: Rhopalopsyllidae) associated with Thrichomys fosteri (Rodentia: Echimyidae) in the Brazilian Pantanal wetland

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
This study characterizes the bacteriome of Polygenis (Polygenis) bohlsi bohlsi fleas collected from free‐living Thrichomys fosteri in the Pantanal region of Brazil. The bacterial microbiota associated with male fleas exhibited greater phylogenetic diversity, and the overall community structure differed between the flea sexes.

Metagenomic Evaluation of Oral Microbiota in Patients Affected by Oral Lichen Planus: A Pilot Study

Oral Diseases, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To characterize the oral bacterial and fungal microbiota of symptomatic oral lichen planus patients undergoing topical corticosteroid therapy and to explore microbial patterns potentially associated with subsequent oral candidiasis. Methods Twelve patients with clinically and histologically confirmed OLP were enrolled.

The ComEA/ComEC Operon is Critical for Nitrosative Stress Tolerance by an Oral Commensal

Molecular Oral Microbiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Oral commensal streptococci play a large role in mediating microbial homeostasis. Our prior work has demonstrated that hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) produced by oral commensal streptococci can react with salivary nitrite (NO2) and generate peroxynitrite (ONOO−), a potent antimicrobial.
