Major Respiratory Quinone

A Gram-reaction-negative, facultatively anaerobic, non-motile, rod-shaped, non-photosynthetic bacterial strain, DW2-9T, was isolated from soil. The highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities were found to Rhodobacter capsulatus ATCC 11166T (97.1 %), Rhodobacter viridis JA737T (96.4 %), Rhodobacter maris JA276T (96.2 %), Rhodobacter veldkampii ATCC 35703T (96.0 %), Haematobacter massiliensis CCUG 47968T (96.0 %), Haematobacter missouriensis CCUG 52307T (95.9 %) and Rhodobacter aestuarii JA296T (95.7 %). The genomic DNA G+C content was 67.2 mol% and the major respiratory quinone was ubiquinone 10 (Q-10). The major cellular fatty acids (>5 %) were C18 : 1ω7c, C16 : 0, C19 : 0 cyclo ω8c and summed feature 3 (one or more of iso-C15 : 0 2-OH, C16 : 1ω6c and C16 : 1ω7c). However, unlike species of the genus Rhodobacter , strain DW2-9T neither formed internal photosynthetic membranes nor produced photosynthetic pigments. DNA–DNA hybridization between strain DW2-9T and R. capsulatus JCM 21090T showed a relatedness of 33 %. Strain DW2-9T contained phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol and an unknown aminophospholipid as major polar lipids, which differed from those of species of the genera Rhodobacter and Haematobacter . In addition to the differences in phylogenetic position and polar lipid types, strain DW2-9T could be distinguished from species of the genus Haematobacter by the cultivation conditions. On the basis of our polyphasic taxonomic analysis, strain DW2-9T is considered to represent a novel genus and species, for which the name Paenirhodobacter enshiensis gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of Paenirhodobacter enshiensis is DW2-9T ( = CCTCC AB 2011145T = KCTC 15169T). Emended descriptions of the genera Rhodobacter and Haematobacter are also proposed.

Abstract—We describe and illustrate Paepalanthus fabianeae, a new species of Eriocaulaceae from the central portion of the Espinhaço Range in Minas Gerais, Brazil. Previous phylogenetic evidence based on analyses of nuclear (ITS and ETS) and plastid (trnL-trnF and psba-trnH) sequences revealed P. fabianeae as belonging to a strongly supported and morphologically coherent clade containing five other species, all of them microendemic, restricted to the Espinhaço range. Due to the infrageneric classification of Paepalanthus being highly artificial, we preferred not assigning P. fabianeae to any infrageneric group. Paepalanthus fabianeae is known from two populations growing in campos rupestres (highland rocky fields) in the meridional Espinhaço Range. The species is characterized by pseudodichotomously branched stems, small, linear, recurved, and reflexed leaves, urceolate capitula, and bifid stigmas. Illustrations, photos, the phylogenetic position, and a detailed description, as well as comments on habitat, morphology, and affinities with similar species are provided. The restricted area of occurrence allied with threats to the quality of the habitat, mainly due to quartzite mining, justifies the preliminary classification of the new species in the Critically Endangered (CR) category using the guidelines and criteria of the IUCN Red List.

A New Species

Abstract A new species of micromorphic articulate brachiopod (Rhynchonellida) Lambdarina jugowiensis sp. nov., from the upper Visean (Sokolec Beds) of central Sudetes, SW Poland, is described. The studied specimens are calcified, what makes them unique in respect of their state of preservation. The material is represented by a full range of growth stages; from brephic to gerontic. Based on its morphological features and the palaeogeographical distribution of all its known species, two main evolutionary lines are proposed for the genus; the Australian and the European ones. Lambdarina was widely distributed in the equatorial-tropical waters of marginal seas of the Palaeotethys Ocean, mostly during Mississippian time.

The genus Hemiflagellochloris Watanabe et al. was found in Russia for the first time. The algal strain was isolated from a buried solonetz in the zone of dry steppes (the north-end of Ergeni Hills, Volgograd Region). The morphology and ecology of this isolate are described. Its phylogenetic position within Chlorophyceae is determined by molecular analysis of 18S rDNA gene.

Generic boundaries of the South American species Panicum longipedicellatum Swallen are explored and compared with allied genera of the tribe Paniceae. On the basis of morphological, anatomical, and molecular characters a new genus, Cnidochloa Zuloaga, is proposed. The phylogenetic position of the new genus within the Paniceae is evaluated.

Research Highlights: The complete chloroplast genome for eight individuals of Japanese larch, including from the isolated population at the northern limit of the range (Manokami larch), revealed that Japanese larch forms a monophyletic group, within which Manokami larch can be phylogenetically placed in Japanese larch. We detected intraspecific variation for possible candidate cpDNA markers in Japanese larch. Background and Objectives: The natural distribution of Japanese larch is limited to the mountainous range in the central part of Honshu Island, Japan, with an isolated northern limit population (Manokami larch). In this study, we determined the phylogenetic position of Manokami larch within Japanese larch, characterized the chloroplast genome of Japanese larch, detected intraspecific variation, and determined candidate cpDNA markers. Materials and Methods: The complete genome sequence was determined for eight individuals, including Manokami larch, in this study. The genetic position of the northern limit population was evaluated using phylogenetic analysis. The chloroplast genome of Japanese larch was characterized by comparison with eight individuals. Furthermore, intraspecific variations were extracted to find candidate cpDNA markers. Results: The phylogenetic tree showed that Japanese larch forms a monophyletic group, within which Manokami larch can be phylogenetically placed, based on the complete chloroplast genome, with a bootstrap value of 100%. The value of nucleotide diversity (π) was calculated at 0.00004, based on SNP sites for Japanese larch, suggesting that sequences had low variation. However, we found three hyper-polymorphic regions within the cpDNA. Finally, we detected 31 intraspecific variations, including 19 single nucleotide polymorphisms, 8 simple sequence repeats, and 4 insertions or deletions. Conclusions: Using a distant genotype in a northern limit population (Manokami larch), we detected sufficient intraspecific variation for the possible candidates of cpDNA markers in Japanese larch.
