Insights into Variability of Actinorhodopsin Genes of the LG1 Cluster in Two Different Freshwater Habitats
Actinorhodopsins (ActRs) are recently discovered proteorhodopsins present in Actinobacteria, enabling them to adapt to a wider spectrum of environmental conditions. Frequently, a large fraction of freshwater bacterioplankton belongs to the acI lineage of Actinobacteria and codes the LG1 type of ActRs. In this paper we studied the genotype variability of the LG1 ActRs. We have constructed two cl...
متن کاملTypical freshwater bacteria: an analysis of available 16S rRNA gene sequences from plankton of lakes and rivers
In order to identify patterns in bacterial community composition in freshwater habitats, we analyzed the available database of 16S rDNA sequences from freshwater plankton, including 24 new sequences from Parker River (Massachusetts, USA), 42 from Lake Soyang (South Korea) and 148 from Lake IJssel (The Netherlands). At this point, combined diversity studies using random cloning have deposited 68...
متن کاملGenomes of Planktonic Acidimicrobiales: Widening Horizons for Marine Actinobacteria by Metagenomics
UNLABELLED The genomes of four novel marine Actinobacteria have been assembled from large metagenomic data sets derived from the Mediterranean deep chlorophyll maximum (DCM). These are the first marine representatives belonging to the order Acidimicrobiales and only the second group of planktonic marine Actinobacteria to be described. Their streamlined genomes and photoheterotrophic lifestyle s...
متن کاملVariability of Prokaryotic Community Structure in a Drinking Water Reservoir (Marathonas, Greece)
The structure of the Bacteria and Archaea community in a large drinking water reservoir (Marathonas, Greece; MR) was investigated in October 2007 and September 2008, using 16S rRNA gene clone libraries. The bacterial communities were more diverse than archaeal communities (Shannon diversity index H' 0.81-3.28 and 1.36-1.77, respectively). The overall bacterial community composition was comparab...
متن کاملActinobacteria from Arid and Desert Habitats: Diversity and Biological Activity
The lack of new antibiotics in the pharmaceutical pipeline guides more and more researchers to leave the classical isolation procedures and to look in special niches and ecosystems. Bioprospecting of extremophilic Actinobacteria through mining untapped strains and avoiding resiolation of known biomolecules is among the most promising strategies for this purpose. With this approach, members of a...
