“…Most members of the genus Bordetella are assumed to be obligatorily associated with host organisms (Gerlach et al, 2001;Weiss, 1992). Bordetella bronchiseptica causes chronic and often asymptomatic respiratory infections in a variety of animals, but only rarely in humans (Goodnow, 1980;Weiss, 1992).…”

Identification and regulation of cold-inducible factors of Bordetella bronchiseptica

The expression of bacterial cold-shock proteins (CSPs) is highly induced in response to cold shock, and some CSPs are essential for cells to resume growth at low temperature. Bordetella bronchiseptica encodes five CSPs (named CspA to CspE) with significant amino acid homology to CspA of Escherichia coli. In contrast to E. coli, the insertional knock-out of a single csp gene (cspB) strongly affected growth of B. bronchiseptica independent of temperature. In the case of three of the csp genes (cspA, cspB, cspC) more than one specific transcript could be detected. The net amount of cspA, cspB and cspC transcripts increased strongly after cold shock, while no such effect could be observed for cspD and cspE. The exposure to other stress conditions, including translation inhibitors, heat shock, osmotic stress and nutrient deprivation in the stationary phase, indicated that the csp genes are also responsive to these conditions. The coding regions of all of the cold-shock genes are preceded by a long non-translated upstream region (59-UTR). In the case of the cspB gene, a deletion of parts of this region led to a significant reduction of translation of the resulting truncated transcript, indicating a role of the 59-UTR in translational control. The cold-shock stimulon was investigated by 2D-PAGE and mass spectrometric characterization, leading to the identification of additional cold-inducible proteins (CIPs). Interestingly, two cold-shock genes (cspC and cspD) were found to be under the negative control of the BvgAS system, the main transcriptional regulator of Bordetella virulence genes. Moreover, a negative effect of slight overexpression of CspB, but not of the other CSPs, on the transcription of the adenylate cyclase toxin CyaA of Bordetella pertussis was observed, suggesting cross-talk between the CSP-mediated stress response stimulon and the Bordetella virulence regulon.

“…Bordetella bronchiseptica causes chronic and often asymptomatic respiratory infections in a variety of animals, but only rarely in humans (Goodnow, 1980;Weiss, 1992). It is closely related to Bordetella pertussis and Bordetella parapertussis, the aetiological agents of whooping cough.…”

“…S9) with B. pertussis as the type species. Most of these species are known to be pathogenic, since they were isolated from human and animals (e.g., Sanden and Weyant, 2005;Vandamme et al, 2015;Weiss, 2006;Weyant et al, 1996). Only four species, B. petrii (von Wintzingerode et al, 2001) and the three novel species mentioned above, were isolated from the environment.…”

Microbial outbreaks and related biodeterioration problems have affected the 1300-year-old multicolor (polychrome) mural paintings of the special historic sites Takamatsuzuka Tumulus (TT) and Kitora Tumulus (KT). Those of TT are designated as a national treasure. The microbiomes of these tumuli, both located in Asuka village, Nara, Japan, are critically reviewed as the central subject of this report. Using culture-dependent methods (conventional isolation and cultivation), we conducted polyphasic studies of the these microbial communities and identified the major microbial colonizers (Fusarium spp., Trichoderma spp., Penicillium spp., dark Acremonium spp., novel Candida yeast spp., Bacillus spp., Ochrobactrum spp., Stenotrophomonas tumulicola, and a few actinobacterial genera) and noteworthy microbial members (Kendrickiella phycomyces, Cephalotrichum verrucisporum (∫ ∫ ∫ ∫ ∫Doratomyces verrucisporus), Sagenomella striatispora, Sagenomella griseoviridis, two novel Cladophialophora spp., Burgoa anomala, one novel species Prototheca tumulicola, five novel Gluconacetobacter spp., three novel Bordetella spp., and one novel genus and species Krasilnikoviella muralis) involved in the biodeterioration of mural paintings, plaster walls, and stone chamber interiors. In addition, we generated microbial community data from TT and KT samples using cultureindependent methods (molecular biological methods, including PCR-DGGE, clone libraries, and pyrosequence analysis). These data are comprehensively presented, in contrast to those derived from culture-dependent methods. Furthermore, the microbial communities detected using both methods are analytically compared, and, as a result, the complementary roles of these methods and approaches are highlighted. In related contexts, knowledge of similar biodeterioration problems affecting other prehistoric cave paintings, mainly at Lascaux in France and Altamira in Spain, are referred to and commented upon. Based on substrate preferences (or ecological grouping) and mapping (plotting detection sites of isolates), we speculate on the possible origins and invasion routes whereby the major microbial colonizers invaded the TT stone chamber interior. Finally, concluding remarks, lessons, and future perspectives based on our microbiological surveys of these ancient tumuli, and similar treasures outside of Japan, are briefly presented. A list of the microbial taxa that have been identified and fully or briefly described by us as known and novel taxa for TT and KT isolates since 2008 is presented in Supplementary Materials. 64SUGIYAMA et al.

“…Interestingly, our analyses placed strain CAG32 T in a new sister genus to the genus Bordetella, a group that mainly consists of pathogenic or commensal host-associated strains that occasionally cause disease [30]. This close grouping of strain CAG32 T next to the genus Bordetella raises questions regarding its role in the ant gut and whether the isolate possesses characteristics that are detrimental to Cephalotes ants.…”

“…While members of the genus Bordetella can use organic and amino acids as carbon sources, they fail to use carbohydrates for growth [27,30]. Second, strain CAG32 T had significantly different percentages of fatty acids in its cellular composition compared to strains from the genus Bordetella and its sister genus Pusillimonas (e.g.…”
