L utispora

Abstract

Lu.ti.spo'ra. L. n. lutum mud, sludge; Gr. fem. n. spora a seed and, in biology, a spore; N.L. fem. n. Lutispora a spore‐forming organism that lives in anaerobic sludge. Firmicutes / Clostridia / Clostridiales / Gracilibacteraceae / Lutispora Straight or slightly curved rods, about 0.6–0.8 × 5.0–8.5 µm. Gram‐stain negative, but Gram‐positive cell‐wall structure. Weakly motile due to laterally inserted flagella. Spores are oval and subterminal. Obligately anaerobic. Colonies are pale yellow, round, and 1.0–1.5 mm in diameter. DNA G + C content (mol%) : 36.2 (HPLC). Type species : Lutispora thermophila Shiratrori, Ohiwa, Ikeno, Ayame, Kataoka, Miya, Beppu and Ueda 2008, 968 VP .

Exploration of the Gut Microbiome in Thai Patients with Major Depressive Disorder Shows a Specific Bacterial Profile with Depletion of the Ruminococcus Genus as a Putative Biomarker

“…The major findings of this study are that: (a) there are no significant differences in αor β-diversity between MDD and controls; (b) there is no clear difference in relative abundance of species between MDD and controls; and (c) LEfSe analysis revealed that the Rhodospirillaceae family (Gram-negative, rod-shaped to spirillum-formed, purple non-sulfur bacteria which comprise 34 genera; [36,37]), Hungatella genus (anaerobic, Grampositive bacterial genus from the family of Clostridiaceae; [38]), and the species Clostridium bolteae (anaerobic, Gram-positive, rod-shaped, spore-forming bacteria, [39]), Hungatella hathewayi (anaerobic, Gram-positive bacterium, [40]) and Clostridium propionicum (anaerobic, Gram-positive, rod-shaped bacteria, [41]) were significantly enriched in the MDD group. In contrast, Desulfovibrio piger (aerotolerant, Gram-negative bacteria, [42]), Ruminococcus callidus (anaerobic, Gram-positive bacteria; [47]), Coprococcus comes (anaerobic Gram-positive, cocci, [43]), Gemmiger formicilis (anaerobic weakly Gram-positive bacteria; [65]), Phascolarctobacterium succinatutens (strictly anaerobic, Gram-negative bacteria; [45]), Lutispora (anaerobic, Gram-stain-negative and Gram-positive cell-wand structure; [66]), and Gracillibacteraceae (belonging to the Firmicutes phylum) are enriched in the control group.…”

Exploration of the gut microbiome in Thai patients with major depressive disorder uncovered a specific bacterial profile with depletion of theRuminococcusgenus as a putative biomarker

“…The major findings of this study are that a) there are no significant differences in α-or β-diversity between MDD and controls; b) there is no clear difference in relative abundance of species between MDD and controls; and c) LEfSe analysis revealed that the Rhodospirillaceae family (Gram-negative, rod-shaped to spirillium-formed, purple non-sulfur bacteria which comprise 34 genera; [37,38]), Hungatella genus (anaerobic, Gram-postive bacterial genus from the family of Clostridiaceae ; [39]), and the species Clostridium bolteae (anaerobic, Gram-positive, rod-shaped, spore-forming bacteria, [40]), Hungatella hathewayi (anerobic, Gram-postive bacterium, [41]), and Clostridium propionicum (anaerobic, Gram-positive, rod-shaped bacteria, [42]) were significantly enriched in the MDD group. In contrast, Desulfovibrio piger (aerotolerant, Gram-negative bacteria , [43]), Ruminococcus callidus (anaerobic, Gram-positive bacteria; [48]), Coprococcus comes (anaerobic Gram-postive, cocci, [44]), Gemmiger formicilis (anaerobic weakly Gram-postive bacteria; [66]), Phascolarctobacterium succinatutens (strictly anaerobic, Gram-negative bacteria; [46]), Lutispora (anaerobic, Gram-stain-negative and Gram-positive cell-wand structure; [67]) and Gracillibacteraceae (belong to the Furmicutes phylum) are enriched in the control group.…”
