概要 |
Extreme thermophiles Calditerricola satsumensis DD2 and D3 were isolated from mesothermal municipal sludge, a material used for hyperthermal composting. To understand the ecologically anomalous findin...gs, their behavior at various temperatures, membrane fatty acid composition, and draft genome sequences were compared with those of C. satsumensis YMO81^T and Calditerricola yamamurae YMO722^T, already isolated from hyperthermal compost. All four strains grew between 56 and 83 °C. However, strains DD2 and D3 were stable for ≥48 h at a wide range of temperatures (20–75 °C), while strains YMO81^T and YMO722^T were highly labile at lower temperatures. The former strains maintained their colony-forming ability for >180 days at 20 °C, while the latter strains lost it within 1 d. All four strains showed similar composition of membrane fatty acid, which were not affected by 20 °C treatment. Comparative draft genome analyses showed that 13 candidate genes were present only in strains DD2 and D3, and the specific expression of six gene homologs was confirmed. A DNA chaperone, site-specific recombinase XerD homolog, had tetra adenine sequence at its upper gene region, and was up-regulated by 20 °C treatment in DD2 and D3, suggesting a possible role in the cold tolerance of sludge-derived strains. In addition, the lack of another possible DNA chaperone, a homolog of the ATP-dependent DNA helicase, in the compost-derived strains may accelerate their sensitivity to cold shock. In conclusion, we speculate that the specific phenotypic and genotypic characteristics of sludge-derived strains are responsible for their unusual ecological distribution at ambient temperatures.続きを見る
