“…Fermentative bacteria inhabiting the CBM reservoir may be factors in the biodegradation of coal to fuel methanogens (Fig. 3), e.g., Fibrobacter is a major rumen bacteria that degrades plant-based cellulose (Montgomery et al, 1988). Acinetobacter has been reported to be capable of aerobically degrading a wide range of aromatic compounds (Gerischer, 2008) and was found to be dominant in coal samples from a CBM well in south Texas (Jones et al, 2010).…”

a b s t r a c t a r t i c l e i n f oIt is generally believed that biogenic coal bed methane (CBM) is an end product of coal biodegradation by methanogenic archaea and syntrophic bacteria. In this work, the archaeal and bacterial communities of CBM reservoir associated with Ordos Basin in China were investigated using 454 pyrosequencing. Sampling produced water, coal and rock in the reservoir, a total of 46,598 sequence reads were obtained. All archaea were methanogens with the genus Methanolobus predominating. The genus consisted of 81.18% of pyrosequencing reads in water sample and > 99% in coal and rock samples. Although the phylum Proteobacteria was the main component of all samples, bacterial communities in coal and rock samples were similar at the genus level, which were distinctly separated with water sample. The results strongly suggested that methylotrophic methanogenesis governed the biogenic CBM formation. The separation of microbial communities between water and coal, rock samples should be considered when investigating the process of coal biodegradation and the generation of new biogenic CBM.

“…are the most fibrolytic, possibly related to their adherent ability, while Butyriuibrio fibrisolvens is a free-floating organism (Weimer, 1996). Phenotypic and phylogenetic analysis of Fibrobacter (Amann et al, 1992;Lin et al, 1994;Lin & Stahl, 1995;Montgomery et al, 1988;Montgomery & Macy, 1982) and Butyrivihrio (Forster et al, 1996(Forster et al, , 1997) is extensive but the diversity and Fibrobacter and Ruminococcus spp. are considered the most important fibrolytic bacteria inhabiting the rumen, and oligonucleotide probes (16s rRNA-based) have been designed for Fibrobacter spp., allowing for a more complete assessment of their ecology (Amann et al, 1992;Lin et al, 1994;Lin & Stahl, 1995).…”

16S rDNA sequencing of Ruminococcus albus and Ruminococcus flavefaciens: design of a signature probe and its application in adult sheep

The ruminococci are an important group of fibrolytic bacteria inhabiting the rumen. Seventeen strains of presumptively identified Ruminococcus were evaluated by a combination of nearly complete and partial 165 rDNA sequence that identified all strains as either Ruminococcus albus or Ruminococcus flavefaciens. All sequences fell into cluster IV of the clostridia, while other species of ruminococci (eg. Ruminococcus obeum, Ruminococcus gnaws, Ruminococcus lactaris) fall into cluster XlVa of the clostridia. Ruminococcus cluster IV sequences were used to design a 165 rRNA oligonucleotide probe to assess the relative abundance of target populations in a stable ruminal environment. A stable population (animals fed eight times per day) was established in sheep so that statistically robust comparisons could be made in the absence of variation due to diurnal rumen fluctuations. The steady state populations were sampled six times over a 24 d period and direct microscopic counts (DC), total culturable counts (TCC), and total cellulolytic counts (CEL) were determined. DC and culturable data (TCC and CEL) were compared with relative abundance estimates of Ruminococcus IV and Fibrobacter succinogenes. A combination of the Ruminococcus and i. succinogenes probes accounted for 4 9 *!o of the bacterial population and cellulolytic bacteria (measured by most-probable numbers) were 5 2 % of the total culturable count. These data suggest that a major portion of the Ruminococcus and Fibmbacter diversity has been cultured and is represented by available sequences. Steady state populations were measured over several days in three sheep and an estimate of variation in DC, TCC, CEL and 16s-based data were obtained. These variance estimates could be used to determine the theoretical sample sizes required to obtain statistically significant differences under different experimental conditions.

“…On the basis of these studies Shah and Collins (33)(34)(35) proposed that the genus Bacteroides be divided into three major groups: (i) a redefined genus Bacteroides, restricted to members of the B. fiagilis group; (ii) genus Prevotella, consisting of moderately saccharolytic, bile-sensitive, predominantly oral species, such as P. rnelaninogenica; and (iii) genus Porphyromonas, for the pigmented species P. asaccharolytica and close relatives. A number of predominantly monospecific genera (e.g., Anaerorhabdus [32], Catonella [21], Dialister [21], Fibrobacter [20], Hallella [21], Johnsonella [21], Megamonas [28], Mitsuokella [29], Oribaculum [ 211, Rikenella [4], Ruminobacter [40], Sebaldella (31), and Tissierella [3]) have been described for some of the species that do not conform to the description of these three genera. The species B. levii (formerly B. melaninogenicus subspecies levii) (10,11) was excluded from the genus Bacteroides as redefined by Shah and Collins (34), and its taxonomic position is currently incertae sedis.…”

The genus Bucteroides was recently redefined to include only the type species Bucteroidesfiugilis and closely related taxa. Most other species that were previously designated Bucteroides have been reclassified in new genera. The taxonomic position of Bucteroides levii (Holdeman, Cato, and Moore) has remained incertae sedis. On the basis of biochemical, chemical and comparative 16s rRNA sequence analyses, this species shares a high degree of similarity with members of the genus Porphyromonas. We therefore formally propose that Bucteroides levii (Holdeman, Cato, and Moore) be reclassified in the genus Porphymmm, as Porphymmunas h i i comb. nov.
