Isolation and Genomics of Futiania mangrovii gen. nov., sp. nov., a Rare and Metabolically Versatile Member in the Class Alphaproteobacteria

Abstract

The rare biosphere constitutes an essential part of the microbial community and may drive nutrient cycling and other geochemical processes. However, the difficulty in microbial isolation and cultivation has hampered our understanding of the physiology and ecology of uncultured rare lineages.

Diversity of bacterial communities in the Sundarbans mangrove, Bangladesh, with special focus on pathogens affecting aquatic organisms

“…The high abundance of Gram-negative bacteria has also been reported from the soil surface of Sundarbans mangrove forest of Bangladesh [8] . Bacteria with a haloalkaliphilic and mesophilic nature were exhibited a strong affinity for survival in various habitats of the Sundarbans mangrove, the diversity of pathogenicity among those species indicates their capacity to adapt on the microbial ecology of this particular ecosystem [56] . To comprehend potential risks to the ecosystem and human health, it is crucial to assess pathogenicity, this information may provide valuable insights for conservation and management strategies in the Sundarbans, particularly in response to environmental changes or disturbances [59] .…”

Defluviimonas sediminis sp. nov., isolated from mangrove sediment

“…Then, five different reagents were used to spray different TLC plates, including ninhydrin (for aminolipids), molybdenum blue (for phospholipids and phosphatidylglycerol), α-methylnaphthalene (for glycolipid), Dragendroff 's reagent (quaternary nitrogen), and ethanolic molydbatophosphoric acid (for total lipids). The isoprenoid quinone of FT324 T was extracted and purified by TLC, and further analysed by high-performance liquid chromatography according to a previous study [27].…”
