Streszczenie:

Nucleic acid sequencing can provide a detailed overview of microbial communities in comparison with standard plate-culture methods. Expansion of high-throughput sequencing (HTS) technologies and reduction in analysis costs has allowed for detailed exploration of various habitats with use of amplicon, metagenomics, and metatranscriptomics approaches. However, due to a capital cost of HTS platforms and requirements for batch analysis, genomics-based studies are still not being used as a standard method for the comprehensive examination of environmental or clinical samples for microbial characterization. This research project investigated the potential of a novel nanopore-based sequencing platform from Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT) for rapid and accurate analysis of various environmentally complex samples. ONT is an emerging company that developed the first-ever portable nanopore-based sequencing platform called MinIONTM. Portability and miniaturised size of the device gives an immense opportunity for de-centralised, in-field, and real-time analysis of environmental and clinical samples. Nonetheless, benchmarking of this new technology against the current gold-standard platform (i.e., Illumina sequencers) is necessary to evaluate nanopore data and understand its benefits and limitations. The focus of this study is on the evaluation of nanopore sequencing data: read quality, sequencing errors, alignment quality but also bacterial community structure. For this reason, mock bacterial community samples were generated, sequenced and analysed with use of multiple bioinformatics approaches. Furthermore, this study developed sophisticated library preparation and data analyses methods to enable high-accuracy analysis of amplicon libraries from complex microbial communities for sequencing on the nanopore platform. Besides, the best performing library preparation and data analyses methods were used for analysis of environmental samples and compared to high-quality Illumina metagenomics data. This work opens a new possibility for accurate, in-field amplicon analysis of complex samples with the use of MinIONTM and for the development of autonomous biosensing technology for culture-free detection of pathogenic and non-pathogenic microorganisms in water, soil, food, drinks or blood.

Streszczenie:

Identification of pathogens is one of the important duties of clinical microbiology laboratory. Traditionally, phenotypic tests are used to identify the bacteria. However, due to some limitations of the phenotypic tests, the bacteria may not be identified sometimes and cannot be identified promptly. 16S rRNA gene sequencing is a rapid and accurate method to achieve this target. It is especially useful for identify rare or slow growing bacteria. However, the interpretation of the 16S rRNA gene sequencing result is one of the challenging duties to laboratory technicians and microbiologists. Apart from the well known 16S rRNA gene databases such as Genbank, The Ribosomal Database Project (RDP-II), MicroSeq databases, Ribosomal Differentiation of medical Microorganism database (RIDOM), SmartGene IDNS, 16SpathDB is an automated and comprehensive database for interpret the 16S rRNA gene result. The 16SpathDB first version was established in 2011. In this study, 16SpathDB was updated based on the all clinical important bacteria present in the 10th edition of the Manual of Clinical Microbiology (MCM)(Versalovic. et al., 2011) into this new version of database, 16SpathDB 2.0. The database was evaluated by using 689 16S rRNA gene sequences from 689 complete genomes of medically important bacteria. Among the 689 16S rRNA gene sequences, none was wrongly identified by 16SpathDB 2.0, with 247 (35.8%) 16S rRNA gene sequences reported in only one single bacterial species with more than 98% nucleotide identity with the query sequence (category 1), 440 (63.9%) reported as more than one bacterial species having more than 98% nucleotide identity with the query sequence (category 2), 2 (0.3%) reported to the genus level (category 3), and none reported as “no species in 16SpathDB 2.0 found to be sharing high nucleotide identity to your query sequence” (category 4). 16SpathDB 2.0 is an updated, automated, user-friendly, efficient and accurate database for 16S rRNA gene sequence interpretation in clinical microbiology laboratories.

Streszczenie:

Termites are known to harbor within their gut a diverse assemblage of symbiotic microorganisms. Little work has been done, however, to describe the diversity and function of the bacteria in the economically important eastern subterranean termite, Reticulitermes flavipes. The first object of this study was to characterize the bacterial diversity in the gut of R. flavipes using amplified rDNA restriction analysis (ARDRA) and 16S rRNA gene sequencing. It was determined that ARDRA was an effective technique for characterizing the diversity of the termite gut microbiota. Of the 512 clones analyzed in the ARDRA study, 261 different ARDRA profiles were found. Forty-two 16S rRNA gene sequences were also analyzed, resulting in 33 different ribotypes. Representatives from six major bacterial phyla, Proteobacteria, Spirochaetes, Bacteroidetes, Firmicutes, Actinobacteria, and the newly proposed â Endomicrobia,â were discovered. Further analysis indicated that the gut of R. flavipes may harbor as many as 1,318 ribotypes per termite. The second objective was to determine if the gut bacterial diversity could be manipulated by changing the termiteâ s food source. Using ARDRA analysis, I found no evidence that changing the food source affected the termite gut bacterial diversity. In addition, changing the food source did not induce aggression in nestmates fed on different food sources. The third objective was to search for patterns of coevolution between termites and their gut symbiotic bacteria. Using rRNA gene sequences from this study and sequences from public databases (1,450 sequences total), a neighbor-joining tree demonstrated strong evidence for coevolution of termites and their symbiotic bacteria, especially in the phyla Bacteroidetes, Actinobacteria, Spirochaetes, and â Endomicrobia.â Many monophyletic clusters were entirely composed of phylotypes specific to Isoptera.

As doenças respiratórias são responsáveis, na suinocultura, por grandes perdas econômicas e entre os agentes destacam-se os micoplasmas. Foram coletadas 126 amostras de muco nasal/tonsilar, e fragmentos de 78 pulmões, 2 de traquéia e 2 de tonsila. No isolamento foi utilizado o meio FRIIS modificado, na identificação, a Multiplex-PCR e na tipificação, a PFGE e sequenciamento do gene 16S rRNA. Foram obtidos 59 isolados identificados como M. hyopneumoniae (1,70%), M. flocculare (3,40%) e M. hyorhinis (94,90%). A PFGE dos isolados de M. hyorhinis, resultou em 10 e 9 perfis com a enzima AvaI e XhoI, respectivamente. O sequenciamento do gene 16S rRNA dos isolados M. hyorhinis apresentaram baixo polimorfismo quando comparados entre si e com a cepa de referência. A sequência do gene 16S rRNA do isolado de M. hyopneumoniae, quando comparada a seqüência da cepa J e os isolados 7448 e 232, resultaram em polimorfismo. O M. hyopneumoniae continua sendo o mais difícil de isolar. Os dendrogramas obtidos da PFGE resultaram em grande heterogeneidade entre os isolados de M. hyorhinis. O seqüenciamento do gene 16S rRNA permitiu o estudo de variabilidade interespecífica e intraespecífica dos isolados de micoplasmas.
Economic losses in swine production are common due the respiratory diseases in these animals. M. hyopneumoniae and M. hyorhinis are the most frequent microbial agents. The aim of this study was recover this isolates in FRIIS medium, indentify them by Multiplex PCR and detect their genotypic variations by PFGE and sequencing the 16s rRNA gene. One hundred twenty six swabs from tonsil and nasal mucus of swine with respiratory disturbances were analyzed. It was included 78 lungs, two trachea and two tonsils. It was obtained 59 isolates; 1.70% of M. hyopneumoniae, 3.40% of M. flocculare and 94.90% of M. hyorhinis. The PFGE of M. hyorhinis, allowed obtain 10 profiles with enzyme AvaI and nine profiles with XhoI. A low polymorphism of gene 16sRNS was detected in M. hyorhinis isolates when compared with the type strain at the GenBank. The M. hyopneumoniae isolates resulted in polymorphisms when comparated with strain J, 7448 and 232. M. hyopneumoniae is still the most difficult to isolate. M. hyorhinis isolates of different herds showed a large heterogenicity with enzymes AvaI e XhoI. The sequencing of gene 16S rRNA allowed analyse the interespecífic and intraespecífic variations of mycoplasmas isolated.

Streszczenie:

Lactobacillus, a part of the commensal oral microflora, is frequently found in infected root canals but is not considered to be an endodontic pathogen. Lactobacilli have proven to be difficult to identify on species level with biochemical and gene sequencing methods. MALDI-TOF is a new identification method and to our knowledge it has not been used on lactobacilli from infected root canals. The aims of this study were to evaluate the prevalence of lactobacilli in infected root canals and to examine if MALDI-TOF is a suitable method for identifying lactobacilli species. In the retrospective study, we evaluated 449 microbial samples obtained from 361 patients. In the prospective study, 100 consecutive microbial samples were collected from 93 patients with infected root canals. Twelve clinical isolates from eight patients were obtained and six selected reference strains were included in the study. MALDI-TOF, 16S rRNA gene sequencing and API 50 CHL identification methods were used to identify lactobacilli isolates and reference strains on species level. In conclusion, the prevalence of lactobacilli in infected root canals was 22% in our material. Molars were the most frequent tooth group infected with lactobacilli. For identification of the reference strains, MALDI-TOF performed slightly better than the other methods. The identification of clinical isolates was inconclusive. MALDI-TOF is an inexpensive, simple and rapid method for identification of lactobacilli and performs well in comparison with conventional methods. However, all of the three identification methods used in this study have limitations when differentiating between closely related lactobacilli species.

Streszczenie:

O gênero Yersinia compreende 12 espécies. Y. enterocolitica, Y. pseudotuberculosis e Y. pestis são patógenos de vários animais, incluindo os humanos. Y. aldovae, Y. bercovieri, Y. frederiksenii, Y. intermedia, Y. kristensenii, Y. aleksiciae, Y. mollaretti e Y. rhodei são encontradas sobretudo no meio ambiente e alimentos e consideradas, usualmente, como bactérias oportunistas não-patogênicas e Y. ruckeri é um importante patógeno de peixes. Usualmente, as linhagens de Yersinia são classificadas em espécies de acordo com suas características bioquímicas. O Laboratório Nacional de Referência em Yersinia spp. outras que Y. pestis recebeu mais de 700 linhagens que foram identificadas bioquimicamente. Entretanto, sete linhagens de Yersinia não puderam ser identificadas pelos testes bioquímicos convencionais em nenhuma das espécies até o momento conhecidas e, por esse motivo, foram denominadas Yersinia atípicas. Os objetivos desse trabalho foram identificar as linhagens atípicas de Yersinia spp. em espécies por técnicas moleculares como Enterobacterial Repetitive Intergenic Consensus PCR (ERIC-PCR), Eletroforese em Campo Pulsado (PFGE), sequenciamento do gene 16S rRNA e Multilocus Sequencing Typing (MLST) e definir dentre as metodologias empregadas a que mais contribui para a identificação precisa dessas linhagens. Foi estudado um total de 59 linhagens de Yersinia spp., sendo 52 linhagens representantes das diferentes espécies do gênero e sete as linhagens bioquimicamente atípicas de Yersinia. As técnicas de ERIC-PCR, sequenciamento do gene 16S rRNA e o MLST foram eficientes na identificação molecular do gênero Yersinia, uma vez que conseguiram reunir todas as espécies em ramos espécie-específicos, com exceção de algumas linhagens de Y. frederiksenii e Y. kristensenii. A técnica de PFGE, pelo contrário, não agrupou as linhagens estudadas em clusters espécie-específicos. Os dados de ERIC-PCR, sequenciamento do gene 16S rRNA e MLST, sugerem que as linhagens atípicas FCF 229 e FCF 231 pertençam à espécie Y. ruckeri. Os dados de ERIC-PCR e MLST sugerem que a linhagem atípica FCF 487 pertença à espécie Y. enterocolitica. Ademais, os dados de ERIC-PCR, sequenciamento do gene 16S rRNA e MLST sugerem que as linhagens atípicas FCF 216, FCF 465, FCF 457 e FCF 494 pertençam a espécie Y. massiliensis. Os resultados obtidos nesse trabalho fornecem dados importantes para a caracterização molecular de linhagens bioquimicamente atípicas de Yersinia e contribuem para uma melhor descrição do gênero quanto a sua diversidade e reforçam o MLST como uma técnica confiável e reprodutível a ser usada na identificação de bactérias pertencentes a esse gênero, sendo dentre as metodologias utilizadas nesse estudo a mais indicada para tipagem molecular de yersiniae.
The genus Yersinia comprises 12 species. Y. enterocolitica, Y. pseudotuberculosis and Y. pestis are pathogens of various animals, including humans. Y. aldovae, Y. bercovieri, Y. frederiksenii, Y. intermedia, Y. kristensenii, Y. aleksiciae, Y. mollaretti and Y. rohdei have been mostly found in the environment and food sources and are commonly considered to be opportunistic nonpathogenic bacteria and Y. ruckeri is an important fish pathogen. Usually, Yersinia strains are classified into species according to their biochemical characteristics. The Brazilian Reference Center on Yersinia spp. other than Y. pestis received more than 700 strains that were biochemically identified. However, seven strains that were typed as Yersinia could not be biochemically identified in any one of the currently known Yersinia species and for this reason they were named as atypical strains. The aims of this work were to identify into species the atypical Yersinia strains using molecular techniques as Enterobacterial Repetitive Intergenic Consensus PCR (ERIC-PCR), Pulsed Field Gel Electrophoresis (PFGE), 16S rRNA gene sequencing and Multilocus Sequencing Typing (MLST) and to define which methodology better contribute to the identification of those strains. A total of 59 Yersinia spp. strains were studied, being 52 representative strains of the defined Yersinia species and seven atypical Yersinia strains. ERIC-PCR, 16S rRNA gene sequencing and MLST were efficient in molecular identifying the genera Yersinia once they grouped the strains into species-specific clusters, with exception of some Y. frederiksenii and Y. kristensenii strains. However, PFGE was not capable to cluster the defined Yersinia strains into species-specific clusters. The data obtained by ERIC-PCR, 16S rRNA gene sequencing and MLST suggest that the atypical strains FCF 229 and FCF 231 belong to Y. ruckeri species. The data obtained by ERIC-PCR and MLST suggest that FCF 487 belong to the Y. enterocolitica species. Additionally, ERIC-PCR, 16S rRNA gene sequencing and MLST suggest that the atypical strains FCF 216, FCF 465, FCF 457 and FCF 494 belong to the Y. massiliensis species. The results obtained provide important data for the molecular characterization of biochemically atypical strains and contribute for a better description of the genera regardless its diversity. Furthermore, the results reinforce MLST as a trustful and reproducible technique to be used in the identification of bacteria of this genus, being among the methodologies studied the most recommended one to molecular type yersiniae.

Streszczenie:

A mastite bovina é considerada a doença de maior impacto nos rebanhos leiteiros, exercendo efeito econômico negativo sobre a produtividade e perdas significativas à indústria de laticínios. Tendo em vista os impactos na sanidade animal e os prejuízos econômicos acarretados, o objetivo deste estudo foi caracterizar de forma mais abrangente a comunidade microbiana presente em rebanhos leiteiros com mastite subclínica utilizado o sequenciamento parcial do gene 16S ribossomal RNA (rRNA). Especificamente, foram caracterizadas as comunidades bacterianas presentes em amostras de leite vindas de três fazendas comerciais, sendo que cada fazenda contribuiu com amostras com alta contagem de células somáticas (CCS > 200.000 cel./mL) e com baixa contagem (CCS < 200.000 cel./mL) perfazendo um total de 57 animais. O DNA total foi extraído e amplificado com os oligonucleotídeos iniciadores da região V3 e V4 do gene 16S rRNA. O sequenciamento foi realizado utilizando a tecnologia de sequenciamento de nova geração através do equipamento MiSeq (Illumina - San Diego, EUA). Para efeito de comparação, alíquotas de todas as amostras foram destinadas ao cultivo microbiológico para identificação de bactérias causadoras da mastite. Os fragmentos amplicons de todas as amostras foram submetidos a uma série de análises computacionais utilizando o programa QIIME. Após a avaliação adicional das sequências em nível de espécie, verificou-se que em geral as bactérias diagnosticadas por cultura geralmente não corresponderam com as sequências mais abundantes detectadas pelo sequenciamento. A análise da composição da microbiota de amostras de leite provenientes de animais saudáveis revelou a presença de uma grande diversidade de espécies bacterianas, mesmo que nenhuma bactéria tenha sido detectada por técnica de cultura. A espécie bacteriana mais abundante em todas as amostras foi Staphylococcus chromogenes. Staphylococcus aureus também foi detectada na grande maioria das amostras As diferenças na composição microbiana foram observadas entre as amostras quando a comparação foi feita de forma individual. Estas diferenças foram notórias em composição taxonômica e foram refletidas por intermédio das estimativas de alfa e beta diversidade. Quando a comparação foi realizada por separação de grupos com alta e baixa CCS, essa diferença não foi tão evidente. Com este estudo será possível compreender a diversidade dos microrganismos presentes na glândula mamária de animais saudáveis e com mastite subclínica. Essas informações podem ser úteis podendo contribuir no planejamento de medidas terapêuticas e preventivas mais eficazes da doença.
Bovine mastitis is considered the most impact disease in dairy herds, exerting negative economic effect on productivity and significant losses to the dairy industry. In view of the impact on animal health and carted economic losses, the objective of this study was to characterize more comprehensively the microbial community present in dairy herds with subclinical mastitis using the partial sequencing of 16S ribosomal RNA gene (rRNA). Specifically, the bacterial communities present in samples of milk coming from three commercial farms were identified, and each farm contributed samples with high somatic cell count (SCC> 200,000 cel./mL) and low count (SCC <200,000 cel./ml) for a total of 57 animals. Total DNA was extracted and amplified with primers of the V3 and V4 region of the 16S rRNA gene. Sequencing was performed using the new generation of sequencing technology through MiSeq equipment (Illumina - San Diego, USA). For comparison, aliquots of all samples were intended for microbiological culture for identification of bacteria which cause mastitis. The amplicon fragments of all samples were subjected to a series of computer analyzes using the QIIME program. After further evaluation of the sequences at the species level, it was found that in general the bacteria do not generally diagnosed by culture corresponded to the most abundant sequences identified by sequencing. The analysis of milk samples from microbial composition from healthy animals revealed the presence of a diversity of bacterial species, even though no bacteria have been detected by culture technique. The most abundant bacterial species in all samples was Staphylococcus chromogenes. Staphylococcus aureus was also detected in most samples differences in microbial composition were found between the samples when a comparison was made individually. These differences were noticeable in taxonomic composition and were reflected by means of the estimates of alpha and beta diversity. When comparison was performed by separation of high and low groups with CCS, this difference was not so evident. This study will be possible to understand the diversity of microorganisms present in the mammary gland of healthy animals and with subclinical mastitis. This information can be useful and can contribute in the planning of more effective therapeutic and preventive measures of the disease.

Streszczenie:

O presente estudo teve como objetivo avaliar a comunidade envolvida na desnitrificação autotrófica pela oxidação de sulfetos, aplicada ao pós-tratamento de efluentes anaeróbios. O enriquecimento da comunidade bacteriana e da comunidade desnitrificante autotrófica foi realizado a partir de amostras da biomassa coletadas de três reatores verticais de leito fixo operados em condições distintas, sendo, redução autotrófica de nitrato, redução autotrófica de nitrito e redução autotrófica de nitrato com excesso de sulfeto. Após a determinação da melhor condição de enriquecimento, a cultura foi purificada, identificada por meio de ferramentas da biologia molecular e caracterizada quanto às melhores condições de crescimento. O enriquecimento foi bem sucedido com a biomassa dos três reatores. No entanto, a condição de redução de nitrato com relação \'N\'/\'S\' igual a 0,8 foi a que apresentou maior concentração de microrganismos desnitrificantes autotróficos. A bactéria isolada foi identificada como Pseudomonas stutzeri. A velocidade específica máxima de crescimento da cultura (\'mü\'máx) foi de 0,037/h, com tempo de duplicação de 18,7 horas. O rendimento celular (Y) do composto nitrogenado foi de 0,15 gSSV.g/\'N\' e a velocidade de desnitrificação foi de aproximadamente 0,24 g\'N\'/gSSV.h. Os dados obtidos indicaram a viabilidade da aplicação da espécie isolada no processo de desnitrificação autotrófica utilizando sulfeto como doador de elétrons.

The enrichment of the bacterial community and autotrophic denitrifier community was accessed in three immobilized bed reactors operated at the conditions of autotrophic reduction of nitrate, autotrophic reduction of nitrite and autotrophic reduction of nitrate under excess of sulfide. Following the determination of the best enrichment conditions, the culture was purified, identified by molecular biology tools and the best growth conditions were characterized. Enriched cultures were obtained for the three operational conditions, but the best condition for the growth of autotrophic denitrifiers microorganisms was at \'N\'/\'S\' ratio of 0,8. The isolated microorganism was identified as Pseudomonas stutzeri. The maximum specific growth rate (\'mü\'máx) was 0.037/h, with a doubling time of 18.7 hours. The growth yield (Y) of nitrogen compound was 0.15 gSSV/g\'N\' and the specific rate of nitrogen utilization was approximately 0.24 g\'N\'/gSSV.h. The results indicated the viability of application of this microorganism for autotrophic denitrification using sulfide as electron donor.

O objetivo deste trabalho foi enriquecer consórcio microbiano a partir de mistura de lodo granular de digestor anaeróbio de fluxo ascendente sob condições fototróficas anoxigênicas. Por meio de técnica de biologia molecular foi possível identificar 17 unidades taxonômicas operacionais (UTO) no consórcio microbiano, dentre as quais seqüências similares a Rhodobacter, gênero amplamente citado nos estudos de produção de gás hidrogênio por bactérias fototróficas. Exames microscópicos do consórcio fototrófico indicaram predomínio de bacilos Gram-negativos. Ensaios sob condições fototróficas foram realizados com dois meios de cultivo (RCVB e FANG) e os seguintes substratos orgânicos: ácido acético, butírico, cítrico, lático e málico, empregados como fonte de carbono, tanto para o crescimento celular, como para a produção do gás hidrogênio. A relação C/N inicial foi 30/4 e posteriormente 15/2, com o objetivo de favorecer o crescimento celular e a produção do \'H IND.2\'. A concentração dos substratos foi determinada de forma com que essa relação se mantivesse a mesma. O crescimento celular e consumo dos ácidos orgânicos foram similares para os dois meios de cultivo empregados. Entretanto, a produção do gás hidrogênio foi maior nos ensaios com o meio FANG. Dentre os substratos utilizados o consumo dos ácidos cítrico e málico foram os maiores (~100%), para concentrações iniciais de 3,3 g/L e 2,6 g/L, respectivamente. O menor consumo 25% foi observado em meio RCVB e ácido acético (2,5 g/L). O crescimento da biomassa variou de 0,06 g/L a 1,1 g/L, enquanto que a velocidade máxima específica de crescimento variou de 0,4 a 0,2 g SSV/L.d entre os substratos utilizados. A menor e maior concentração de hidrogênio foram de 8,5 e 22 mmol \'H IND.2\'/L, para os reatores alimentados com ácido lático e málico em meio FANG, respectivamente. Pôde-se concluir que o consórcio fototrófico enriquecido foi capaz de utilizar os ácidos orgânicos para produção do gás hidrogênio.
The aim of this work was enrich a mixture of granular sludge of an up flow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) under anoxygenic phototrophic conditions. The techniques of molecular biology identified 17 operational taxonomic units (UTO) in the microbial consortium among the sequences analised, which were similar to Rhodobacter, genus widely cited in studies of hydrogen gas production by phototrophic bacteria. Microscopic examinations of the phototrophic consortium showed predominance of Gram-negative bacilli. Tests were conducted under phototrophic conditions with two culture media (RCVB and FANG) and the following organic substrates: acetic, butyric, citric, lactic and malic acids that were used as carbon source for both cell growth and for the hydrogen gas production. The carbon nitrogen ratio (C/N) in the preliminaries tests was 30/4 and then it was changed to15/2 in order to improve the cell growth and hydrogen production. The concentration of substrates was determined for remain the same carbon/nitrogen ratio among the substrates. The cell growth and consumption of organic acids were similar for the two culture media used. However, the production of hydrogen gas was higher in trials with the medium FANG. Among the substrates used, the consumption of malic and citric acids were the highest (~100%) for initial concentrations of 3.3 g/L and 2.6 g/L, respectively. The shortest consumption (25%) was observed for the cells that grew on acetic acid, 2.5 g/L in RCVB culture medium. The growth of the biomass varied from 0.06 g/L to 1.1 g/L, whereas the maximum specific growth rate ranged from 0.4 to 0.2 g VSS/L.d between the substrates used. The lowest and highest concentrations of hydrogen were 8.5 and 22 mmol \'H IND.2\'/L for the reactor fed with lactic acid and malic acid in FANG\'s medium, respectively. It was concluded that the phototrophic consortium was able to use those organic acids for the production of hydrogen gas.

Contamination of groundwater that is suitable for drinking is of growing concern as the water supply of South Africa is becomingincreasingly limited. This is especially the case in the North West province, with its semi – arid climate and variable rainfall patterns. The aim of the study was to evaluate the microbiological and physico – chemical qualities of groundwater obtained from selected DWA (Department of Water Affairs) monitoring boreholes in the Mooi River and Harts River catchment areas. Physico -chemical parameters included temperature, pH, electrical conductivity (EC), salinity, total dissolved solids (TDS), sulphate and nitrate concentrations. Physical parameters were measured using a calibrated submerge-able multimeter and chemical parameters using specialised kits and a spectrophotometer. Microbiological parameters included heterotrophic plate counts and total and faecal coliform enumeration. Membrane filtration and culture based methods were followed for enumeration of bacteria. During the identification procedures multiplex PCR for E. coli identification and 16S rRNA gene sequencing for identification of heterotrophic plate count bacteria and amoeba resistant bacteria were used. For antibiotic resistance, the Kirby- Bauer (1996) disk diffusion method was used. During the warm and wet season high electrical conductivity and salinity were observed in the Trimpark (65.3 mS/m; 325 ppm), School (125.1 mS/m; 644 ppm), Warrenton (166.9 mS/m; 867 ppm) and Ganspan (83.3 mS/m; 421 ppm) boreholes. Warrenton borehole had a high sulphate level (450 mg/l) as well. High chemical oxygen demand was observed in the Blaauwbank (62 mg/l) and Warrenton (98.5 mg/l) boreholes. In the dry and cold season similar observations were made for the various boreholes. Electrical conductivity and salinity levels remained high for the Trimpark (70.1 mS/m; 427.5 ppm), School (127 mS/m; 645 ppm), Warrenton (173.3 mS/m; 896.5 ppm) and Ganspan (88.1 mS/m; 444.5 ppm) boreholes. Nitrate levels for the Trimpark (14.1 mg/l) and School (137 mg/l), as well as sulphate levels for the Warrenton (325 mg/l) borehole were also high. Total coliforms, faecal streptococci and HPC bacteria were enumerated from water samples from all boreholes, except Blaauwbank where no faecal streptococci were enumerated. Faecal coliforms were enumerated from 5 of the possible 7 boreholes during a warm and wet season (Trimpark – 42 cfu/100ml; School – 2 cfu/100ml; Cemetery – 175 cfu/100ml; Warrenton – 3.84 x 10³ cfu/100ml; Ganspan – 1.9 x 10³ cfu/100ml). Indicator bacteria (FC, TC, HPC) exceeded target water quality ranges (TWQR) for drinking water in each case. During the cold and dry sampling season, faecal coliforms were enumerated mainly from the Trimpark (11 cfu/100ml) borehole. Total coliforms, faecal streptococci and HPC bacteria were enumerated from all the boreholes, except for Blaauwbank that contained no faecal streptococci or total coliforms. Enumerated indicator bacteria levels again exceeded TWQR for domestic use. Total coliform counts for the Pad dam borehole, however, complied with TWQR for domestic use. Identified E. coli were resistant to Erythromycin, Cephalothin and Amoxicillin and susceptible to Ciprofloxacin. Escherichia coli isolated from the Mooi River catchment shared the same antibiotic resistance phenotype. The most abundant HPC bacterial genus identified was Pseudomonas spp. (7 isolates). Opportunistic pathogens isolated included Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Acinetobacter, Aeromonas, Alcaligenes, Flavobacterium, Bacillus cereus and Mycobacterium spp. Varying degrees of antibiotic resistance were observed. Generally, the same pattern between the same genera were observed. All HPC isolates were resistant to Cephalothin and Amoxicillin and a lower degree Erythromycin and Streptomycin. The most abundant amoeba resistant bacteria was identified as Pseudomonas spp. Other isolates included Alcaligenes faecalis and Ochrobactrum sp. and Achromobacter sp. All of these are opportunistic pathogens, except for Achromobacter. Resistance to more antibiotics (Streptomycin, Chloramphenicol, Cephalothin, and Amoxicillin) was observed in ARBs compared to HPC (Cephalothin, Amoxicillin) from bulk water from the same borehole. The water of all the aquifers sampled is of very poor physico - chemical or microbiological quality or both. Water may be used for irrigation or livestock watering only in the case where these boreholes comply with TWQR for said purposes. Results obtained indicate that the groundwater is faecally contaminated. Amongst the bacteria, opportunistic pathogens displaying various degrees of antibiotic resistance were frequently isolated. These results indicate health risks if untreated groundwater is consumed. Therefore groundwater needs to be treated before distribution especially if the water is for human consumption.

With its unique consortium of microorganisms from all domains of life, termite gut is considered one of the most efficient lignocellulose degrading systems in nature. Recently, host diet and taxonomy as well as gut microenvironmental conditions have emerged as main factors shaping microbial communities in termite guts. The aim of this thesis was to investigate this highly efficient lignocellulolytic system at holobiont level, with a particular focus on gut microbiome function and composition in relation to the host diet. As a starting point, we optimised a complete framework for an accurate termite gut prokaryote-oriented metatranscriptomics, which was at the basis of all subsequent sequencing assay designs and analyses performed in the course of the work. Afterwards, we characterised the compositions and functions of biomass-degrading bacterial communities in guts of plant fibre- and soil-feeding higher termites, proving the existence of functional equivalence across microbial populations from different termite hosts. We also showed that each termite is a reservoir of unique microorganisms and their accompanying genes. We further extended above approach to metagenomics and bacterial genomes reconstruction and we applied it to explore the process of biomass digestion in the different sections of the highly compartmented gut of soil feeding Labiotermes labralis. We showed that primarily cellulolytic activity of the termite host was restricted to foregut and midgut, while bacterial contribution was most pronounced in P1 and P3 hindgut compartments and included activities targeting broad range of lignocellulose components. Finally, we investigated the adaptation of a laboratory-maintained grass-feeding higher termite colony of Cortaritermes spp. to Miscanthus diet at host and symbiont levels. A natural system of a termite gut was shown to progressively change in composition to yield a consortium of microbes specialised in degradation of a specific biomass. Overall, the integrative omics approach proposed here provide a framework for a better understanding of a complex lignocellulose degradation by a higher termite gut system and pave a road towards its future bioprospecting.

Coral diseases were first noted in the 1960s and 1970s and have had major impacts globally on coral reef community structures. In the Caribbean, a major outbreak of white band disease has been considered responsible for the drastic decline of Caribbean Acroporids since the 1970s. In addition to white band disease, another more recently described condition known as rapid tissue loss (RTL) has had major impacts on Acropora cervicornis populations, specifically offshore Broward County Southeast Florida. While these diseases have contributed to the population decline, determining their etiologies has been elusive. Coral diseases have been characterized by shifts in their microbial counterparts within many levels of the coral host. While some coral diseases have had specific pathogens identified, research has not been able to determine pathogens for most. Evidence points toward bacterial causes for many diseases, but due to the complexity of the coral holobiont and the interaction with the environment, elucidating the causes has proven difficult. Many studies have examined the microbiomes of specific diseases and determined some potential pathogens or at least taxa playing important roles in the disease, although none have looked at RTL. Recognizing the local affect of RTL on A. cervicornis, this study set out to gain a baseline understanding of the healthy and RTL affected microbiome of A. cervicornis. 16S rRNA gene sequencing was used to examine the microbiome of completely healthy colonies, healthy regions of diseased colonies, and the disease margin of diseased colonies. Analysis of four microbial diversity metrics revealed marked increases in diversity with respect to declining health states. Additionally, community dissimilarity analysis and analysis of differentially abundant taxa exhibited distinct microbial community structures due to coral health. Several highly abundant (Rickettsiales, Rhodobacteraceae) and a few low abundance (Bdellovibrionales) taxa were identified as primary drivers of the differences. Additionally, Piscirickettsiaceae, a known fish pathogen, was consistently associated with RTL and warrants further investigation. All of the taxa identified with in RTL have been associated with other Acroporid and non-Acroporid diseases throughout the Caribbean and the rest of the world. The consistent IV association of similar taxa for coral diseases around the world, including those found in this study, supports the recent ideas of non-specific primary pathogens. While most disease studies, coral and otherwise, aim to determine a single pathogen for a single disease, this study and others suggest there could be a multitude of organisms responsible for the disease. Therefore understanding the interactions of the coral holobiont and the environment is important to understanding coral disease. While this study reveals significant changes in the bacterial community associated with RTL as well as some potential pathogens, the relationships appear complex and perhaps at a functional level rather than merely taxonomic. Furthermore, this study did not examine viruses, fungi, or protists, which could be possible pathogens. Therefore, to further develop an understanding of RTL and many other coral diseases it will be necessary to consider additional none-bacterial members of the holobiont as well as the bacterial functions and taxa coupled with the roles of environmental factors.

O presente trabalho teve como objetivos caracterizar uma coleção de 98 bactérias isoladas de amostras de petróleo e água de formação de reservatórios da Bacia de Campos (RJ) utilizando técnicas de taxonomia molecular e avaliar o potencial de degradação de biomarcadores do petróleo. O sequenciamento e análise filogenética do gene RNAr 16S revelaram Bacillus firmus, megaterium, pumilus, sphaericus, simplex, cereus/B. thuringiensis Marinobacter lutaoensis, Halomonas shengliensis/H. alimentaria/ H.campisalis, Citreicella thiooxidans, Stenotrophomonas maltophilia, Achromobacter xylosoxidans, Micrococcus luteus, Kocuria rosea, Streptomyces alboniger/S. chartreusis /S. moderatus, Staphylococcus hominis e Staphylococcus pasteuri/S. warneri. Os resultados evidenciaram a preferência pela biotransformação do ácido nonadecanóico e esqualano. A caracterização da microbiota presente nos reservatórios e avaliação do potencial de biodegradação pode contribuir para fornecer subsídios para estudos futuros sobre os mecanismos biológicos responsáveis pela biodegradação do petróleo.
This study is aimed to characterize a collection of 98 bacteria isolated from oil and formation water samples derived from reservoirs of the Campos Basin (RJ) using molecular biology-based techniques and to evaluate the degradation potential of petroleum biomarkers. Further sequencing and phylogenetic analysis of 16S rRNA genes revealed species of Bacillus firmus, megaterium, pumilus, sphaericus, simplex, cereus/thuringiensis, Marinobacter lutaoensis, Halomonas shengliensis/H. alimentaria/H. campisalis, Citreicella thiooxidans, Stenotrophomonas maltophilia, Achromobacter xylosoxidans, Micrococcus luteus, Kocuria rosea, Streptomyces alboniger/S. chartreusis/S. moderatus, Staphylococcus hominis and Staphylococcus pasteuri/S. warneri. The results showed the preference of bacteria for the biotransformation of nonadecanoic acid and squalane. The characterization of the microbiota associated to reservoirs and the evaluation of their biodegradation potential may provide subsidies for future studies about the biological mechanisms responsible for petroleum biodegradation.

Dentre os vários microrganismos que fazem parte de microecossistemas de solos, as bactérias do gênero Burkholderia apresentam-se de interesse por possuírem amplo potencial agrícola e biotecnológico. São portadores de uma infinidade de características, como por exemplo: promotoras de crescimento em plantas com a fixação biológica do nitrogênio e produção de fitormônios, supressores de algumas doenças, biorremediadores, agentes de biocontrole e produtores de biopolímeros. Descrito por Yabuuchi et. al. (1992), o gênero ainda precisa ser melhor caracterizado, pois sua taxonomia vem sendo modificada de tal forma que novos componentes estão sendo frequentemente propostos, especialmente pela identificação de novos nichos ecológicos e sua ação no ambiente. No Parque Nacional de Caxiuanã - Pará, Amazônia Oriental, os solos de origem antropogênica denominados Terra Preta Arqueológica (TPA) são caracterizados pelos elevados materiais orgânicos, que se auto-sustentam. Neste estudo, a diversidade do gênero Burkholderia foi avaliada por meio de técnicas microbiológicas (cultivo) e moleculares, como a Eletroforese em Gel com Gradiente Desnaturante (DGGE) com sequências iniciadoras específicas para o gênero, usando o gene 16S rRNA. Os fragmentos amplificados foram analisados pelo sequenciador automático ABI 3100, com o intuito de gerar informações sobre as principais espécies de Burkholderia presentes em sítios de TPA e comparados com as espécies encontradas em solo de floresta nativa natural, adjacente à TPA. Apesar da maior estabilidade e presença de matéria orgânica em sítio TPA, os resultados revelam que as espécies do gênero Burkholderia são numericamente superiores em solo de floresta nativa natural, vindo a confirmar que aspectos físico-químicos (ex. pH) e a vegetação predominante nas áreas de estudo afetam diretamente na composição das comunidades microbianas. Algumas estirpes encontradas destacam-se pelo seu papel funcional no solo, muitas delas comumente associadas à fixação biológica de nitrogênio. Foram encontradas as espécies Burkholderia silvatlantica, Burkholderia vietnamiensis, Burkholderia nodosa, Burkholderia terrae, Burkholderia hospita
Amongst the various microorganisms from soil microecossystems, the genus Burkholderia has been studied since several properties have been discovered more recently, with high potential for agricultural and biotechnological exploitation. Species from this genus have infinite features, e.g. plant growth promoter with biological nitrogen fixation and production of phytohormones, capability for suppression of some diseases, bioremediation, biological control and production of biopolymers. Described by Yabuuchi et al. (1992), the genus still needs to be better characterized, since its taxonomy is frequently modified and several new species have been proposed, especially after recent identification of new ecological niches and their action in the environment. In the National Park of Caxiuanã at the Eastern Amazon region are found anthrosols with past anthropogenic activity, constructed by the pre-historic Amerindians. These anthrosols are known as Archaeological Dark Earth (ADE) which has high and stable concentration of organic matter, thus keep their self-sustainability due to this high soil fertility. In this study, the diversity of genus Burkholderia was evaluated by means of microbiological (bacterial cultivation) and the molecular technique Denaturing Gradient Gel Electrophoresis (DGGE) using short and specific sequences designed for this genus, using the gene 16S rRNA. The amplified fragments from TPA were automated sequenced (ABI 3100) and the ADE diversity was compared with a pristine forest soil, located adjacent to TPA. Although the high stability and organic matter content in the ADE, the results showed a greater number of species from the genus Burkholderia in the pristine forest soil, located at the surrounding of the TPA soil. These data indicate that physical-chemical parameters (e.g. pH) and the prevalent vegetation in the studied areas can affect directly the structure of the microbial communities. Some strains could be distinguished by their functional role in soil, such as those associated with the ability for biological nitrogen fixation. The main species were Burkholderia silvatlantica, Burkholderia vietnamiensis, Burkholderia nodosa, Burkholderia terrae, Burkholderia hospita

Streszczenie:

The main goal of this thesis was to design and implement a tool that would be able to classify the sequences of the 16S rRNA gene into taxonomic categories using the properties of the 16S rRNA gene. The created tool analyzes all input sequences simultaneously, which differs from common classification approaches, which classify input sequences individually. This tool relies on the fact that bacteria contain several copies of the 16S rRNA gene, which may differ in sequence. The main contribution of this work is design, implementation and evaluation of the capabilities of this tool. Experiments have shown that the proposed tool is able to identify the corresponding bacteria for smaller datasets and determine the correct ratios of their abundances. However, with larger datasets, the state space becomes very large and fragmented, which requires further improvements in order for it to search the state space in an efficient way.

The complex microbiota of the oral cavity has been intensively studied and saliva is characterized by microorganisms which colonize different regions of mouth, such as tongue, supragengival and subgingival biofilm. Considering this, the purpose of this study was to evaluate the bacterial diversity of the saliva of patients with different levels of oral hygiene according to the Silness, Löe index. In this research, two genomic libraries of saliva source from 15 patients each were constructed. The pooled samples differ in the average index of Silness, Löe being considered as high or low index within the rate 1.0 to 3.0 and 0 to 0.5, respectively. The DNA saliva was extracted by phenol / chloroform method and 16S rRNA gene for the microorganisms of each sample were amplified and cloned. The sequences obtained were compared to those from sequences of the GenBank NCBI and RDP. The library resultant from saliva of patients with high level of dental biofilm showed 23 OTUs grouped as five known genus: Streptococcus, Granulicaella, Gemella, Peptostreptococcus and Veillonella besides 33.3% of uncultured bacteria. The Library made from saliva of patients with low level of dental biofilm, was significantly different from its counterpart (p = 0.000) and was composed by 42 OTUs, distributed among 11 known genus: Streptococcus, Granulicaella, Gemella, Veillonella, Oribacterium, Haemophilus, Escherichia, Neisseria, Prevotella, Capnocytophaga, Actinomyces, and 24.87% of uncultured bacteria. The genus Streptococcus was the more prevalent in the two libraries, constituting 79.08% of the first and 73.64% the second. In conclusion, patients with low dental biofilm index have saliva with higher bacterial diversity than patients with high dental biofilm index, and despite most uncultivated species aggregate with Steptococcus, they still are new and unknown microorganisms
A complexa microbiota da cavidade bucal tem sido intensivamente estudada e a saliva destaca-se por apresentar microrganismos de diferentes regiões, como a língua, biofilme subgengival e supragengival. Diante disto, o objetivo do presente estudo foi avaliar a diversidade bacteriana da saliva de pacientes com diferentes índices de higiene bucal e para isto, foram construídas duas bibliotecas genômicas da saliva, que foram constituídas por amostras de 15 pacientes cada uma, com a média de índice de biofilme de Silness; Löe diferenciado, sendo a primeira com índice de 1,0 a 3,0 (denominada alto índice) e a segunda, entre 0 a 0,5 (denominada baixo índice). O DNA da saliva foi extraído pelo método fenol/clorofórmio e o gene 16S rRNA para cada biblioteca foi amplificado e clonado. As sequências obtidas foram comparadas com aquelas armazenadas no GenBank do NCBI e RDP. A biblioteca composta pela saliva de pacientes com Alto índice de biofilme dental apresentou cinco Gêneros conhecidos: Streptococcus, Granulicaella, Gemella, Veillonella e Peptostreptococcus e 33,3% de bactérias não-cultivadas, agrupados em 23 OTUs. A Biblioteca, composta pela saliva de pacientes com Baixo índice de biofilme dental, foi diferente siguinificativamente da primeira (p=0,000) e foi composta de 42 OTUs, distribuídas em 11 Gêneros conhecidos: Streptococcus, Granulicaella, Gemella, Veillonella, Oribacterium, Haemophilus, Escherichia, Neisseria, Prevotella, Capnocytophaga, Actinomyces, alem de 24,87% de bactérias não-cultivadas. O Gênero Streptococcus foi o mais prevalente nas duas bibliotecas, constituindo 79,08% da primeira e 73,63% da segunda. Conclui-se que existe maior diversidade bacteriana na saliva de pacientes com Baixo índice de biofilme dental em relação à pacientes com Alto índice de biofilme dental e que apesar da maioria das espécies não-cultivadas agruparem-se com os Streptococcus, ainda contituem-se de microrganismos novos e desconhecidos

Streszczenie:

Micoplasmas e ureaplasmas têm sido isolados de pequenos ruminantes, mas existem poucos estudos. O Mycoplasma ovine/caprine sorotipo 11, conhecido como cepa 2D, ainda não classificado como espécie, vem sendo relacionado a casos de vulvovaginite e problemas reprodutivos em ovinos e caprinos. Os ureaplasmas apresentam a habilidade em induzirem doenças no trato genital, confirmada por inoculações experimentais de isolados obtidos de animais doentes em animais saudáveis, resultando em moderada granularidade e hiperemia na vulva. Estes ureaplasmas não receberam ainda a designação de espécie, sendo apenas conhecidas suas características sorológicas, nas quais é fundamentada a classificação em nove sorotipos, sendo o IX relacionado a infertilidade e aborto em ovelhas. Este trabalho teve como objetivo o isolamento de micoplasmas e ureaplasmas do trato reprodutivo de fêmeas e machos das espécies caprina e ovina e tipificação genotípica dos isolados por meio de PFGE e sequenciamento do gene 16S rRNA. Foram obtidos 20 isolamentos de ureaplasma no trato reprodutivo de fêmeas e machos da espécie ovina, um isolamento de micoplasma e sete com crescimento misto de micoplasma e ureaplasma. Nas fêmeas da espécie caprina foram obtidos cinco isolamentos, sendo quatro de ureaplasma e um de micoplasma. Dos isolados submetidos a PFGE , 11 de origem ovina resultaram em oito diferentes perfis confirmando a capacidade da técnica em tipificar ureaplasma de origem ovina. O sequenciamento do gene 16S rRNA, analisado pelo UPGMA, permitiu agrupar seis isolados ao Ureaplasma diversum ATCC 49782, e quatro não foram agrupados com nenhuma outra espécies de ureaplasma, quando utilizado o ponto de corte 97%. Em nosso estudo, os isolados de ovino e caprino agrupados às referências de U. diversum não permite concluir que sejam da mesma espécie. A utilização do gene 16S rRNA gera grande quantidade de informações úteis para inferências filogenéticas e pode ser a primeira escolha na investigação de novas espécies. Técnicas filogenéticas como sequenciamento do espaço intergênico 16S-23S rRNA, e gene da urease podem auxiliaram futuramente na classificação dos isolados obtidos de ovino e caprino.
Mycoplasmas and or ureaplasmas have been isolated from small ruminants but are few studied. Mycoplasma ovine/caprine serotype 11, known as 2D strain, has not been classified yet as specie. However, it has been associated to vulvovaginitis and reproductive disorder in caprine and ovine. Ureaplasmas may cause genital tract diseases. Experimental infections with isolates recovered from sick animals resulted in granularity and hyperemia of the vulva. These have not been designated as specie but are divide in nine serological characteristics types. The serotype IX is associated to infertility and abortion in sheep. The present study aims the isolation of mycoplasmas and ureaplasmas from reproductive tract of ovine and caprine, genotyping of isolates by PFGE, and sequencing of their 16S rRNA. Ureaplasma isolates were recovered from the reproductive tract of 20 ovine, being them, male and female. Mycoplasma was isolated alone in one sample. A mixture of mycoplasma and ureaplasma was obtained in seven samples. On the material obtained from female caprine, five isolations were performed. Four of them were ureaplasma and one was a mycoplasma. Eleven isolates from ovine showed eight distinct profiles at PFGE, confirm that the method can typify ovine origin ureaplasmas. Six isolates were grouped to the Ureaplasma diversum ATCC 49782, through the sequencing of their 16S rRNA using the UPGMA. However, when using a 97% cutoff, four isolates could not be grouped to none of the ureaplasma specie. The isolates from ovine and caprine grouped to U. diversum, do not allow conclude that they are all the same specie. The use of 16S rRNA sequencing showed many useful information to phylogenetic inference, and can be the first choice for when investigating new species. Phylogenetic techniques, as sequencing of the intergenic space 16S-23S rRNA and urease gene, can be used to help the classification of new ureaplasma isolates from ovine and caprine.

Streszczenie:

Os Espodossolos são os solos de maior ocorrência na planície costeira do litoral do Estado de São Paulo e são caracterizados pela presença de um horizonte espódico (Bh ou Bhm). Poucas são as informações relacionadas à gênese destes solos em regiões tropicais, assim como da composição química da matéria orgânica (MO) nos mesmos e da influência dos micro-organismos em sua formação. É possível que micro-organismos envolvidos na degradação seletiva da MO sejam importantes para a gênese de Espodossolos, como observado anteriormente em Espodossolos de Bertioga e Ilha Comprida. O primeiro estudo teve como objetivo avaliar a variação espacial da estrutura das comunidades e a abundância de bactérias e fungos em três perfis de Espodossolos sob drenagem intermediária, nos diferentes horizontes e nas manchas brancas através de PCR-DGGE e quantificação por qPCR dos genes rRNA 16S de bactérias e ITS de fungos. O segundo estudo teve como objetivo avaliar a variabilidade espacial das comunidades de bactérias nos horizontes e nas manchas brancas de Espodossolos sob três regimes de drenagem, e determinar se a diversidade genética e estrutura das comunidades de bactérias estão associadas à composição molecular da MO nessas regiões, através do sequenciamento massivo da região V4 do gene do rRNA 16S de bactéria e análise de compostos orgânicos por pirólise-GC/MS. As estruturas das comunidades bacterianas, determinada por PCR-DGGE, nos diferentes horizontes de cada perfil foram mais similares entre si do que nos mesmos horizontes em diferentes perfis de Espodossolos. A estrutura das comunidades fungos não apresentou diferenças significativas, independente da localidade do perfil e profundidade dos horizontes. A abundância de cópias do gene rRNA 16S e região ITS, determinada por qPCR, foi maior no horizonte A do que no horizonte Bh, para os três perfis de Espodossolos estudados. Apesar de não haver diferenças significativas na estrutura das comunidades, grupos específicos de bactérias e fungos podem estar envolvidos na degradação seletiva da matéria orgânica nos diferentes horizontes, bem como nas manchas brancas e suas adjacências. A estrutura das comunidades de bactérias, determinada por sequenciamento massivo do gene rRNA 16S, nos horizontes mais superficiais (A e AE) foi distinta daquela observada nos horizontes mais profundos (EB, BE e Bh). Porém, as comunidades bacterianas nas manchas brancas e suas regiões adjacentes foram mais similares entre si, do que em relação as comunidades bacterianas nos horizontes, em todos os perfis analisados, independente do regime de drenagem. Acidobacteria, Proteobacteria e Actinobacteria foram os filos mais abundantes nos solos estudados. Actinobacteria e Alphaproteobacteria mostraram associação positiva com moléculas orgânicas derivadas da pirólise da lignina, as quais foram mais abundantes nos horizontes superficiais (A e AE), enquanto Acidobacteria mostrou associação positiva com compostos mais recalcitrantes encontrados em horizontes mais profundos (Bh), sugerindo um papel específico e diferenciado de cada grupo bacteriano na degradação de compostos orgânicos específicos. Os resultados desses estudos sugerem que grupos bacterianos específicos podem estar envolvidos na gênese de Espodossolos através da degradação de compostos orgânicos específicos em diferentes horizontes.
Podzols are highly frequent soils in the coastal plains of the São Paulo State, and are characterized by the presence of a spodic horizon (Bh or Bhm). Studies on the pedogenetic processes in Podzols of tropical regions are scarce, as well as studies on the molecular characterization of their organic matter (OM) and on the microorganisms involved in their genesis. It is possible that microorganisms involved in the selective degradation of the soil OM are important for the genesis of Podzols, as previously observed in Podzols of Bertioga and Ilha Comprida. The aim of the first study was to evaluate the spatial variation of the community structure and abundance of bacterial and fungi in the different horizons, bleached mottles and their immediate vicinity of three Podzol profiles under intermediary drainage regime, using PCR-DGGE and qPCR of the bacterial rRNA 16S gene and fungal ITS region. The aim of the second study was to determine the spatial variability of the bacterial communities in the horizons and bleached mottles of Podzols under three drainage regimes, and whether the bacterial genetic diversity and community structure were associated to the molecular OM composition, using high-throughput sequencing of the V4 region of the bacterial 16S rRNA gene and analyses of organic compounds by pyrolysis GC/MS. The structure of bacterial communities, determined by PCRDGGE, in the different horizons of each soil profile were more similar to each other than in the same horizons of different soil profiles. The fungal community structures did not show significant differences, independent of the soil profile location and horizons depth. Abundance of copies of the bacterial 16S rRNA gene and fungal ITS region, determined by qPCR, was higher in the A horizon than in the Bh horizon, for the three Podzol profiles studied. Even though there were no significant differences in community structures, specific groups of bacteria and fungi may be involved in the selective degradation of organic matter in different horizons, bleached mottles and their immediate vicinity. The bacterial community structures, determined by highthroughput sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene, in the surface horizons (A and AE) were distinct of that in the deeper horizons (EB, BE and Bh). However, the bacterial community structures in the bleached mottles and their immediate vicinity were more similar to each other than to the community structures in the horizons, in all profiles studied, regardless of the drainage regime. Acidobacteria, Proteobacteria and Actinobacteria were the most abundant phyla in the soils studied. Actinobacteria and Alphaproteobacteria showed a positive relationship organic compounds derived from lignin degradation, which were more abundant in the surface horizons (A and AE), whereas Acidobacteria showed a positive relationship with more recalcitrant compounds detected in deeper horizons (Bh), suggesting a specific and distinct roles of each bacterial group in the degradation of specific organic compounds. The results of these studies suggest that specific bacterial groups may be involved in the genesis of Podzols by degrading specific organic compounds in different horizons.

Streszczenie:

The bacteroides group is a subdivision in the Cytophaga-Flavobacterium-Bacteroides phylum. This group is as phylogenetically distinct from other Gram-negative enterics, including Escherichia coli, as they are from Gram-positive organisms. Furthermore, there is no cross expression between genes of E. coli and Bacteroides species. It is thought that this difference in gene expression lies in part at the level of transcription initiation and is due to the sequences within the promoter region itself. A putative consensus sequence for Bacteroides promoters has been published by C. Jeff Smith’s research group based on alignments of the sequences upstream of certain regulated genes. However, this consensus has not been found within all putative Bacteroides promoters. In this study, the promoter structure and function of a strong housekeeping B. thetaiotaomicron 16S rRNA promoter was examined and compared to an E. coli 16S rRNA promoter. Our hypothesis is that there are significant differences between the promoters of these two organisms. Analysis of B. thetaiotaomicron sequence upstream of the 16S rRNA gene has revealed the same overall structure known for E. coli 16S rRNA promoters in that there are two putative promoters separated by approximately 150 bp. However, the B. thetaiotaomicron 16S rRNA promoter contains the proposed Bacteroides —7 and —33 consensus sequences instead of the well known E. coli —10 and —35 consensus sequences. The biological activity of the B. thetaiotaomicron 16S rRNA full-length promoter was confirmed using a Bacteroides lux reporter system. A newly designed Bacteroides lux reporter was used to analyze specific regions of the B. thetaiotaomicron 16S rRNA promoter. In addition, by pairing the B. thetaiotaomicron 16S rRNA promoter with an E. coli ribosomal binding site, and vice-versa, the improved lux reporter was used to further confirm that the difference in gene expression between the two species lies at the level of transcription in E. coli. In Bacteroides, however, transcription and translation may work together to create a barrier to efficient gene expression of foreign genes.

Neste trabalho desenvolvemos métodos analíticos e moleculares para a detecção, isolamento e classificação filogenética de Alicyclobacillus spp. a partir de sucos de laranja e frutos ácidos, pelas técnicas: RT-PCR, nested RT-PCR, RAPD, seqüenciamento do 16S rRNA e análise por métodos eletroforéticos. A sensibilidade na detecção dos A. acidoterrestris foi melhorada por meio de reações de nested RT-PCR, utilizando primers internos (amplicon de 191 bp) que foram desenhados a partir do primeiro amplicom de 294 bp. O limite de detecção foi estudado com as reações RT-PCR e nested RT-PCR, sendo capazes de detectar concentrações de 0,1 UFC mL-1 para culturas puras e 2 UFC mL-1 em sucos de laranja artificialmente inoculados. A inibição de esporos de A. acidoterrestris também foi estudada para monitorar a diminuição da viabilidade com tratamento térmico e Sapindus saponaria (200 mg L-1), utilizando RT-PCR e nested RT-PCR. Com o tratamento térmico de 99 oC por 1 h o grau de inibição dos esporos foi de 96,3%. Enquanto que, com a fração purificada de S. saponaria (200 mg L-1) incubada à 45 oC por 2 dias foi de 93,6%, mas com incubação de 99 oC por 1 h foi de 98,7%, na mesma concentração de saponina. Todas as análises de quantificação de produtos de RT-PCR e nested RT-PCR foram analisadas por meio de eletroforese em gel de agarose e eletroforese capilar em microchip no Bioanalyzer 2100 (Agilent), com os kits DNA 500 e DNA 1000 LabChip®, obtendo-se maior sensibilidade nos microchips. A classificação molecular de dezenove cepas, isoladas a partir de diferentes sucos e frutos ácidos, foram estudadas utilizando RAPD-PCR e eletroforese capilar em microchips. Utilizando cinco primers aleatórios nas reações de RAPD, foi possível estudar os polimorfismos analisados nos microchips. Segundo as análises eletroforéticas, as cepas de suco concentrado e diluído de laranja (1, 2, 6) suco concentrado de limão (lim) e suco de laranja in natura (T2, T3), apresentaram similaridades genéticas com a A. acidoterrestris. O estudo de análise filogenética baseada na comparação de seqüências de DNA da região variável do gene 16S rRNA de Alicyclobacillus acidoterrestris, foi utilizado para identificar e agrupar onze cepas isoladas de superfícies e sucos de frutos ácidos. Na árvore filogenética gerada pelo método neighbor joining e bootstrap 1000x, as cepas analisadas mostraram similaridades de 99% entre todas elas, observando-se uma maior similaridade do controle A. acidoterretris (C2) com a cepa isolada de suco concentrado de limão (lim), e uma boa discriminação entre controles das espécies A. acidocaldarius, A. cicloheptanicus, A. sendaiensis e Sulfobacillus acidophilus.
In this work, we developed analytical and molecular methods for detection, isolation and phylogenetic classification of Alicyclobacillus spp. from orange juice and acid fruits using RT-PCR, nested RT-PCR, RAPD and sequencing of 16S rRNA techniques and electrophoretic methods of analysis. The sensitivity on the detection of A. acidoterrestris in orange juice was improved by nested RT-PCR, using internal primers (amplicon of 191 bp) that were designed after sequencing the first amplicon (294 bp). The detection limit was studied with RT-PCR and nested RT-PCR assay, it was able to detect concentrations of 0.1 UFC mL-1 for media culture and 2 UFC mL-1 in inoculated orange juice. The inhibition in spores from A. acidoterrestris was also studied to monitoring the diminution of viability with heat treatment and Sapindus saponaria (200 mg mL-1), using RT-PCR and nested RT-PCR assays. The inhibition by heat treatment at 99 oC for 1 h was 96.3%. However, incubation with S. saponaria at 45 oC for 2 days inhibited 93,6%, however, with incubation of 99 oC for 1 h was 98,7%, in the same concentration of saponin. The quantification of the RT-PCR and nested RT-PCR amplification product were accomplished by capillary electrophoresis in microchips using the Bioanalyzer 2100 in conjunction with the LabChip (TM) DNA 500 and DNA 1000. The molecular classification of nineteen strains isolated from different juice and acidic fruit, were studied using RAPD-PCR and capillary electrophoresis in microchips. Using five random primers in the RAPD assay, it was possible to study the polymorphisms analyzed in microchips. According to electrophoresis analyses, the strains from concentrated and diluted orange juices (1, 2, 6), lemon concentrated juice (lim) and natural orange juice (T2, T3), showed genetic similarities with the A. acidoterrestris. The study of the phylogenetic analyses based on DNA comparison sequences of the variable region of 16S rRNA gene from Alicyclobacillus acidoterrestris, was utilized for the identification and grouping of eleven strains isolated from surface and juice of acid fruits. In the phylogenetic tree produced by neighbor joining and bootstrap 1000, the strains showed similarities of 99% among all strains, showing a high similarity of A. acidoterrestris with a strain isolated from lemon concentrate juice (lim), and a good discrimination between the species A. acidocaldarius, A. cycloheptanicus, A. sendaiensis and Sulfobacillus acidophilus.

Streszczenie:

[ES] Antecedentes: Los patrones de colonización microbiana alterados durante la infancia pueden ser en parte responsables del aumento de enfermedades alérgicas en los países desarrollados. La microbiota intestinal difiere en composición y diversidad durante los primeros meses de vida en niños que luego desarrollan o no una enfermedad alérgica. Sin embargo, poco se sabe sobre la importancia de las respuestas inmunitarias tempranas de la mucosa a la microbiota intestinal en el desarrollo de alergias infantiles. Además, los estudios con respecto al efecto protector de la microbiota de la leche materna en el riesgo de desarrollar alergias no han sido concluyentes. Aunque la cavidad bucal es el primer lugar de encuentro entre la mayoría de los antígenos exógenos y el sistema inmunológico, no existen datos sobre la influencia de las bacterias orales en el desarrollo de alergias durante la infancia. Objetivos: El objetivo general de esta tesis fue evaluar la composición y diversidad microbiana en muestras orales, intestinales y de leche materna, junto con su interacción con IgA, para estudiar el papel de la colonización microbiana durante edades tempranas de la vida en condiciones de salud y de enfermedad alérgica. Sujetos: Los bebés y las madres incluidas en este estudio forman parte del ensayo aleatorio doble ciego más grande de Suecia, entre 2001 y 2003, donde se evaluaron los posibles efectos preventivos sobre la alergia de Lactobacillus reuteri ATCC 55730 hasta los 2 y 7 años. En esta tesis, utilizamos muestras de heces recogidas a los 1 y 12 meses, y muestras orales de bebés, obtenidas longitudinalmente a los 3, 6, 12, 24 meses y 7 años. Además, analizamos muestras de leche materna, recogidas a un mes después del parto de las madres correspondientes. Métodos: Se utilizaron tecnologías de secuenciación de segunda generación dirigidas al gen 16S rARN, en combinación con citometría de células marcadas por fluorescencia, para abordar las respuestas de IgA de la mucosa hacia las bacterias intestinales y de la leche materna. Además, se utilizó la secuenciación del gen 16S para describir la colonización oral de la microbiota, en muestras de saliva, de niños que desarrollaron alergias o de aquellos que se mantuvieron sanos. Los niveles de carga bacteriana en diferentes hábitats microbianos se obtuvieron mediante la metodología de qPCR y los niveles totales de IgA de las muestras de heces se determinaron mediante inmuno-ensayo ELISA. Resultados y conclusión: La colonización de la cavidad bucal durante la infancia temprana es progresiva, aumenta en complejidad con el tiempo, y varios factores externos parecen influir en gran medida en la maduración de la microbiota oral, ya sea con un impacto a corto o largo plazo. Los cambios tempranos en la composición microbiana oral parecen influir en la maduración inmune y el desarrollo de alergias en la infancia, y la presencia de especies bacterianas específicas puede ser importante para este proceso. Además, las respuestas de IgA alteradas hacia la microbiota intestinal durante la infancia precedieron a las manifestaciones de asma y alergia durante los primeros 7 años de vida, y el consumo de leche materna con una riqueza microbiana reducida en el primer mes de vida puede aumentar el riesgo de desarrollar alergia durante la infancia. Los hallazgos observados en la presente tesis deben confirmarse en cohortes más grandes y la importancia de los factores ambientales postnatales para el desarrollo temprano de la microbiota debe abordarse más a fondo. Las investigaciones futuras deben ir más allá de la caracterización de la composición de la comunidad bacteriana e investigar los mecanismos funcionales entre los microorganismos colonizadores tempranos, la maduración inmunitaria y la alergia, así como el desarrollo del asma durante la infancia.
[CAT] Antecedents: S'ha proposat que els patrons de colonització microbiana alterats durant la infància podrien ser en part els responsables de l'augment de malalties al·lèrgiques als països desenvolupats. La microbiota intestinal difereix en composició i diversitat durant els primers mesos de vida en els nens que després van desenvolupar una malaltia al·lèrgica. No obstant això, poc es sap sobre la importància de les respostes immunes de la mucosa a la microbiota intestinal en el desenvolupament d'al·lèrgies infantils. A més, les investigacions amb relació a l'efecte protector de la microbiota de la llet materna en el risc de desenvolupar al·lèrgies no han sigut concloents. Encara que la cavitat bucal és el primer lloc de trobada entre la majoria dels gèneres externs i el sistema immunològic, encara no s'ha descobert la influència dels bacteris en el desenvolupament d'una al·lèrgia durant la infància. Objectius: L'objectiu general d'aquesta tesi va ser avaluar la composició microbiana i la diversitat de mostres orals, fecals i llet materns, juntament amb la seva interacció amb IgA, per estudiar el paper del desenvolupament microbià durant el període de la infància primerenca a la salut i la malaltia al·lèrgica. Subjectes: Les mares i xiquets inclosos en aquest estudi formen part d'un estudi aleatori doble-cec a Suècia, entre el 2001 i el 2003, on es van avaluar els possibles efectes preventius de la suplementació amb Lactobacillus ATCC 55730 fins als 2 i 7 anys. En aquesta tesi, s'utilitzaren mostres de bebès arreplegades longitudinalment, obtinguts a 1 i 12 mesos, 3, 6, 12, 24 mesos i 7 anys, respectivament. A més, s'analitzaren les mostres de llet materna, arreplegades a un mes postpart de les corresponents mares. Mètodes: S'han utilitzat tecnologies de seqüenciació de nova generació dirigides al ARNr 16S, en combinació amb la classificació de les cèl·lules activades, per abordar les respostes de la mucosa cap als bacteris intestinals i de la llet materna. A més, s'utilitzà la seqüenciació d'Illumina MiSeq del gen 16S per descriure la colonització microbiana oral, i es van obtenir mostres longitudinals de saliva de menuts que varen desenvolupar al·lèrgies i d'alguns que es van mantenir saludables. Els nivells de càrrega bacteriana en diferents nínxols microbians s'han obtingut mitjançant la metodologia de qPCR i els nivells totals d'IgA de les mostres fecals es determinaren mitjançant l'immunoassaig ELISA. Resultats i conclusions: La colonització de la cavitat bucal durant la primera infància és transitòria, augmenta la seva complexitat amb el temps, i diversos factors externs influeixen en gran mesura el procés de maduració de la microbiota oral, amb un impacte a curt i llarg termini. Els canvis primerencs en la composició microbiana oral pareixen influir en la maduració del sistema immunològic i el desenvolupament d'al·lèrgies a la infància, així com la presència d'espècies bacterianes específiques pot ser important per a aquest progrés. A més, les respostes d'IgA alterades cap a la microbiota intestinal durant la infància precedeixen a les manifestacions relatives a la malaltia asmàtica i al·lèrgiques durant els primers 7 anys de vida. Per altra banda, el consum de llet materna amb una microbiota de riquesa reduïda al primer mes de vida podria augmentar el risc de desenvolupar al·lèrgia durant la infància. Els resultats observats en aquest estudi haurien de confirmar-se en cohorts humanes més grans i la importància dels factors ambientals post natals que influeixen en el desenvolupament de la microbiota primerenca han de ser més estudiats. Les investigacions futures deuen anar més enllà de la caracterització de la composició de la comunitat bacteriana i investigar els mecanismes funcionals entre els microorganismes colonitzadors primerencs, la maduració del sistema immunològic i el desenvolupament de l'al·lèrgia i l'asma durant la in
[EN] Background: It has been proposed that altered microbial colonization patterns during infancy may be partly responsible for the increase of allergic diseases in developed countries. The gut microbiota differs in composition and diversity during the first months of life in children who later do or do not develop allergic disease. However, little is known about the significance of early mucosal immune responses to the gut microbiota in childhood allergy development, and the findings regarding the protective effect of breastmilk microbiota in the risk of allergy development have been inconclusive. Furthermore, even though the oral cavity is the first site of encounter between a majority of foreign antigens and the immune system, the influence of oral bacteria on allergy development during childhood has not yet been reported. Objectives: The general aim of this thesis was to assess the microbial composition and diversity of oral, fecal and breastmilk samples, together with its interaction with IgA, in order to study the role of microbial development during early childhood in health and allergic disease. Subjects: The infants and mothers included in this study were part of a larger randomized double-blind trial in Sweden, between 2001 and 2003, where potential allergy preventive effects of Lactobacillus reuteri ATCC 55730 were evaluated until 2 and 7 years of age. In this thesis, we used longitudinally collected stool and oral samples from infants, obtained at 1 and 12 months and 3, 6, 12, 24 months and 7 years of age, respectively. Furthermore, we analyzed breastmilk samples, collected at one month post partum, from the corresponding mothers. Methods: Next-generation sequencing technologies targeting the 16S rRNA gene, in combination with cell activated cell sorting, were used in order to address mucosal IgA responses towards gut and breastmilk bacteria. Furthermore, sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene was used in order to describe oral microbiota colonization, in longitudinally obtained saliva samples, from children developing allergy or staying healthy. Bacterial load levels in different microbial habitats were obtained by qPCR methodology and total IgA levels of stool samples were determined by ELISA immunoassays. Results and conclusion: Colonization of the oral cavity during early childhood is transitional, increasing in complexity with time, and several external factors appear to greatly influence oral microbiota maturation, having either a short or a long-term impact. Early changes in oral microbial composition seem to influence immune maturation and allergy development in childhood, and the presence of specific bacterial species may be important for this progress. Furthermore, altered IgA responses towards the gut microbiota during infancy preceded asthma and allergy manifestations during the first 7 years of life, and consumption of breastmilk with a reduced microbial richness in the first month of life may increase the risk for allergy development during childhood. Findings observed here need to be confirmed in larger cohorts and the importance of postnatal environmental factors for early microbiota development should be addressed further. Future research should go beyond characterization of bacterial community composition and investigate the functional mechanisms between early colonizing microorganisms, immune maturation and allergy and asthma development during childhood.

Abstract We designed a 16S rRNA gene PCR-RFLP scheme to identify all currently described Bartonella spp. The 16S rRNA genes of all Bartonella spp. were in-silico analyzed in order to design a RFLP technique able to discriminate among different species. The restriction enzymes selected were MaeIII, MseI, Sau96I, BsaAI, DrdI, FokI, BssHII, BstUI, AluI, TspDTI and HphI which, according to a decision-making tree, facilitated the differentiation of all the currently described species of Bartonella.The technique was experimentally tested in different species of Bartonella, including human pathogenic B. bacilliformis and B. henselae with a 100% of concordance with the in-silico predicted patterns.This novel RFLP assay could be used to identify both human and non-human pathogenic Bartonella in diagnostic, phylogenetic and epidemiologic studies.

Streszczenie:

Water sources are susceptible to faecal contamination from animal and human pollution sources. Pollution of our waterways has significant implications on human health, especially from a pathogen perspective. Microbial source tracking (MST) is a promising field which aims to identify the sources of faecal contamination, and thereby allowing for the development of effective management strategies to minimise pollution and the impact on human health. Many of the currently used methods rely on the identification of host-specific markers within the 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene of bacteria by use of amplification techniques such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR). However, these methods can be limited by sensitivity, quantification, geographical differences and issues of cost which can limit how many markers are evaluated. Developments in DNA sequencing technologies over the past decade have led to a number of next generation sequencing (NGS) platforms which have a rapid, high throughput approach, resulting in an exponential decrease in the cost of sequencing. This has enabled the development of sequence-based metagenomics, where entire communities from environmental samples can be analysed based on their genetic material. The ability to barcode allows for analysis of multiple samples at once, reducing the cost of sequencing environmental samples even further. This is a promising technique for MST, which has had little investigation to date. The primary focus of the studies described in this thesis was to evaluate the use of NGS technology through a metagenomic approach. Roche 454 amplicon sequencing was used to sequence a 16S rRNA gene target, amplified from faecal and water samples from various sources in New Zealand. Barcode strategies were incorporated in the amplification design to allow multiple samples to be sequenced simultaneously. A proof-of-concept study initially utilised a small sequence dataset to evaluate a range of analysis tools available. Taxonomic identification and diversity measures were used to evaluate a selection of currently available tools designed for analysing metagenomic data, with the Quantitative Insights Into Microbial Ecology (QIIME) platform decided upon for further studies. A larger study, including 35 faecal samples from 13 difference sources and 10 water samples, resulted in 522,065 raw sequencing reads. Diversity results suggest three phyla, Bacteroidetes, Firmicutes and Proteobacteria, are strongly represented across all faecal sources analysed. Microbial diversity analysis using clustering techniques provided evidence of host source being the largest influence on bacterial diversity, with samples from each source generally clustering together. This technique could not be used to identify sources of contamination sources in water samples as the water samples all clustered separately from the faecal samples. More successful was the use of taxonomic classifications to determine bacteria genera that were potentially specific to one source. Water samples were screened for these genera, with six out of the ten water samples being indicators of either ruminant or human contamination. Faecal and water samples were also analysed for a selection of published 16S rRNA PCR markers, using a computational motif-based search method. Of the twenty motifs screened for, 14 were found to be relatively source-specific for ruminant, human, dog or pig faecal samples, with some cross-reactivity with chicken and possum samples. Using this method, the contamination source for six of the ten water samples was identified, with the remaining four samples found to not have enough sequences to assess with confidence. Both metagenomic strategies produced comparable results which were consistent with previous MST analysis. This project demonstrates the potential application of next generation sequencing technologies to microbial source tracking, suggesting the possibility this approach to replace existing microbial source tracking methods.
