Oceanobacillus bengalensis sp. nov., a bacterium isolated from seawater of the Bay of Bengal

Abstract

A Gram-stain positive, motile, and subterminal endospore-forming rod-shaped bacterium, designated strain Ma-21(T), was isolated from seawater of the Bay of Bengal. Strain Ma-21(T) was found to grow optimally at 37 °C and pH 8.0 with 3% (w/v) NaCl. Phylogenetic analyses showed that strain Ma-21(T) forms a distinct phylogenetic lineage close to Oceanobacillus chungangensis CAU 1051(T), Oceanobacillus caeni S-11(T), Oceanobacillus arenosus CAU 1183(T), Oceanobacillus halophilum GD01(T) and Ornithinibacillus heyuanensis GIESS003(T) in the family Bacillaceae. The cell wall of strain Ma-21(T) was found to contain meso-diaminopimelic acid as the diagnostic diamino acid, which is in line with those of members of the genus Oceanobacillus. The genomic DNA G+C content was determined to be 35.9 mol%. The only respiratory quinone detected was MK-7. The major cellular fatty acids were identified as anteiso-C(15:0) and anteiso-C(17:0). The major polar lipids were found to be diphosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylglycerol. On the basis of phylogenetic, chemotaxonomic and phenotypic properties, strain Ma-21(T) is suggested to represent a novel species in the genus Oceanobacillus, for which the name Oceanobacillus bengalensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is Ma-21(T) (=CGMCC 1.12799(T) = KCTC 33416(T) = MCCC 1K00260(T)).

Glycemic fluctuation exacerbates inflammation and bone loss and alters microbiota profile around implants in diabetic mice with experimental peri-implantitis

“…This alteration may change the pathogenicity of oral microbiota in diabetes compared with healthy status. Massilibacterium senegalense is a Gram-negative bacterium [ 46 ], and Ornithinibacillus heyuanensis a Gram-positive bacterium [ 47 ]. Although the impact of these two species on periodontitis or peri-implantitis has not been confirmed, it has been observed that a decrease in Gram-negative with an increase in Gram-positive bacteria in oral microbiota is accompanied with reduced inflammation in periodontitis [ 48 ].…”

Oceanobacillus endoradicis sp. nov., an endophytic bacterial species isolated from the root of Paris polyphylla Smith var. yunnanensis

“…At the time of writing, this genus comprises 21 validly named species, including six recently described species, Oceanobacillus limi (Amoozegar et al 2014), Oceanobacillus luteolus (Wu et al 2014), Oceanobacillus arenosus (Kim et al 2015), Oceanobacillus bengalensis (Yongchang et al 2015), Oceanobacillus rekensis and Oceanobacillus damuensis (Long et al 2015). Members of the genus Oceanobacillus have been isolated from a wide variety of environments.…”
