Halosquirtibacter laminarini gen. nov., sp. nov. and Halosquirtibacter xylanolyticus sp. nov., marine anaerobic laminarin and xylan degraders in the phylum Bacteroidota
The bacterial group of the phylum Bacteroidota greatly contributes to the global carbon cycle in marine ecosystems through its specialized ability to degrade marine polysaccharides. In this study, it is proposed that two novel facultative anaerobic strains, DS1-an-13321 T and DS1-an-2312 T , which were isolated from a sea squirt, represent a novel genus, Halosquirtibacter , with two novel species in the family Prolixibacteraceae. The 16S rRNA sequence similarities of these two strains were 91.26% and 91.37%, respectively, against Puteibacter caeruleilacunae JC036 T , which is the closest recognized neighbor. The complete genomes of strains DS1-an-13321 T and DS1-an-2312 T each consisted of a single circular chromosome with a size of 4.47 and 5.19 Mb, respectively. The average amino acid identity and the percentage of conserved proteins against the type species of the genera in the family Prolixibacteraceae ranged from 48.33 to 52.35% and 28.34–37.37%, respectively, which are lower than the threshold for genus demarcation. Strains DS1-an-13321 T and DS1-an-2312 T could grow on galactose, glucose, maltose, lactose, sucrose, laminarin, and starch, and only DS1-an-2312 T could grow on xylose and xylan under fermentation conditions. These strains produced acetic acid and propionic acid as the major fermentation products. Genome mining of the genomes of the two strains revealed 27 and 34 polysaccharide utilization loci, which included 155 and 249 carbohydrate-active enzymes (CAZymes), covering 57 and 65 CAZymes families, respectively. The laminarin-degrading enzymes in both strains were cell-associated, and showed exo-hydrolytic activity releasing glucose as a major product. The xylan-degrading enzymes of strain DS1-an-2312 T was also cell-associated, and had endo-hydrolytic activities, releasing xylotriose and xylotetraose as major products. The evidence from phenotypic, biochemical, chemotaxonomic, and genomic characteristics supported the proposal of a novel genus with two novel species in the family Prolixibacteraceae , for which the names Halosquirtibacter laminarini gen. nov., sp. nov. and Halosquirtibacter xylanolyticus sp. nov. are proposed. The type strain of Halosquirtibacter laminarini is DS1-an-13321 T (= KCTC 25031 T = DSM 115329 T ) and the type strain of Halosquirtibacter xylanolyticus is DS1-an-2312 T (= KCTC 25032 T = DSM 115328 T ).

The catabolic specialization of the marine bacterium Polaribacter sp. Q13 to red algal β1,3/1,4-mixed-linkage xylan
Catabolism of algal polysaccharides by marine bacteria is a significant process of marine carbon cycling. β1,3/1,4 - Mixed-linkage xylan (MLX) is a class of xylan in the ocean, widely present in the cell walls of red algae. However, the catabolic mechanism of MLX by marine bacteria remains elusive. Recently, we found that a marine Bacteroidetes strain, Polaribacter sp. Q13, is a specialist in degrading MLX, which secretes a novel MLX-specific xylanase. Here, the catabolic specialization of strain Q13 to MLX was studied by multiomics and biochemical analyses. Strain Q13 catabolizes MLX with a canonical starch utilization system (Sus), which is encoded by a single xylan utilization locus, XUL-Q13. In this system, the cell surface glycan-binding protein SGBP-B captures MLX specifically, contributing to the catabolic specificity. The xylanolytic enzyme system of strain Q13 is unique, and the enzymatic cascade dedicates the stepwise hydrolysis of the β1,3- and β1,4-linkages in MLX in the extracellular, periplasmic, and cytoplasmic spaces. Bioinformatics analysis and growth observation suggest that other marine Bacteroidetes strains harboring homologous MLX utilization loci also preferentially utilize MLX. These results reveal the catabolic specialization of MLX degradation by marine Bacteroidetes, leading to a better understanding of the degradation and recycling of MLX driven by marine bacteria. IMPORTANCE Red algae contribute substantially to the primary production in marine ecosystems. The catabolism of red algal polysaccharides by marine bacteria is important for marine carbon cycling. Mixed-linkage β1,3/1,4-xylan (MLX, distinct from hetero-β1,4-xylans from terrestrial plants) is an abundant red algal polysaccharide, whose mechanism of catabolism by marine bacteria, however, remains largely unknown. This study reveals the catabolism of MLX by marine Bacteroidetes, promoting our understanding of the degradation and utilization of algal polysaccharides by marine bacteria. This study also sets a foundation for the biomass conversion of MLX.
