“…NATURAL DISTRIBUTION As noted by Henrici and Johnson (86), caulobacters can be observed on slides immersed in any kind of freshwater, "even in running tap water," at any time of year. The same is proving true for neutral soils (13,90,130,190,191,293). Even many who are not seeking caulobacters find stalked bacteria (9,25,44,50,64,78,96,106,108,126,151,158,159,181,187,196,216,275,288).…”

“…The first isolations of Caulobacter from soil date back to Nemec and Bystricky [16] and Poindexter [4], but were treated as exceptional given that all prior Caulobacter isolates were from oligotrophic, freshwater sources [1][2][3][17][18][19].…”

Following the terrestrial tracks of Caulobacter - redefining the ecology of a reputed aquatic oligotroph

For the past 60 years Caulobacter spp. have been commonly attributed an aquatic and oligotrophic lifestyle yet are not uncommon in nutrient-rich or soil environments. This study evaluates the environmental and ecological associations of Caulobacter to reconcile past evidence, largely limited to culturing and microscopy, with currently available metagenomic and genomic data. The distribution of Caulobacter species and their characteristic adhesion-conferring genes, holdfast (hfaAB), were determined using collections of 10,641 16S rRNA gene libraries (196 studies) and 2625 shotgun metagenomes (190 studies) from a range of terrestrial and aquatic environments. Evidence for ecotypic variation was tested in 26 genomes sourced from soil, rhizosphere, plant, groundwater, and water. Caulobacter were, on average, fourfold more relatively abundant in soil than in aquatic environments, and abundant in decomposing wood, compost, and particulate matter (in air and water). Caulobacter holdfast genes were 35-fold more abundant in soils than aquatic environments. Ecotypic differences between soil and aquatic Caulobacter were evident in the environmental associations of several species and differences in genome size and content among isolates. However, most abundant species were common to both environments, suggesting populations exist in a continuum that was evident in the re-analysis of studies on the temporal dynamics of, and sources of bacterioplankton to, lakes and rivers. This study provides a new perspective on the ecological profile of Caulobacter, demonstrating that members of this genus are predominantly soil-borne, possess an overlooked role in plant matter decomposition and a dependency on water-mediated dispersal.
