sp. ME121 was isolated from soil as a mixed single colony with
sp. 32K during our screening of L-glucose-utilizing microorganisms, and its growth was enhanced by coculture. It was expected that genomic analysis of this bacterium would provide novel information on coculture-dependent growth enhancement. The genomic information of symbiotic bacteria could be of use for studying the molecular mechanisms underlying microbial symbiosis. The draft genome sequence of
sp. ME121 is 7,096,979 bp in total length and comprises 197 large contigs (
500 bp) that was deposited at DDBJ/EMBL/GenBank under the accession number BBUX00000000. The draft genome sequence shows that
sp. ME121 has some genes that encode putative methanol/ethanol family PQQ-dependent dehydrogenases involved in methylotrophy. Some unknown factor provided by the coculture may contribute to increase the growth of
sp. ME121.

Calcium-dependent sp. strain TCA20 was isolated from a water sample of a hot spring containing a high concentration of calcium ions. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of this bacterium, which may be the basis for the research of calcium ion homeostasis. The draft genome sequence of
sp. strain TCA20 totals 5,631,463 bp in length and is composed of 33 large contigs (
500 bp) that was deposited at DDBJ/EMBL/Genbank under the accession no. BBIW00000000. The annotation of the draft genome sequence shows that
sp. strain TCA20 has a calcium-specific calcium/proton antiporter, ChaA, and a P-type calcium-transporting ATPase, YloB, was identified as calcium transporters. These transporters may also be important for the growth of
sp. strain TCA20 under the high concentration of calcium ions.

The potassium-dependent alkaliphilic sp. strain TS-2 was isolated from the mashed extract of a jumping spider, and its draft genome sequence was obtained. Comparative genomic analysis with a previously sequenced sodium-dependent alkaliphilic
species may reveal potassium-dependent alkaline adaptation mechanisms. The draft genome sequence of
sp. strain TS-2 was 4,360,646 bp in total length, comprised 58 large contigs (
500 bp) that was deposited at DDBJ/EMBL/Genbank under the accession number BAWL00000000. In the draft genome sequence of
sp. strain TS-2, two sets of
genes, which encode multisubunit secondary cation/proton antiporter-3 family proteins, were annotated. The Mrp complex acts as an Na
/H
antiporter in typical alkaliphilic
species and plays a critical role in the sodium-dependent alkaline adaptation mechanism.

In this study, we investigated mutant frequencies of two different antibiotic-resistant mutants for carbon ion beams in and identified the mutation sites in the streptomycin-resistant (Sm
) mutants. The Sm
mutant frequencies increased depending on radiation dose. It seems that this dose range is the best dose to generate the mutants of interest for research and breeding purpose. Four kinds of mutation sites at the
locus were determined from 8 Sm
mutants. These mutations cause amino acid substitutions at position 43 (Lys to Thr or Arg) and 88 (Lys to Glu or Arg) in the S12 protein, respectively. The two hot spots at Lys43 and Lys88 in the S12 protein might be a binding target of streptomycin or adjacent to the center of streptomycin interaction with the ribosome.

Alkaliphilic sp. strain TS-1, newly isolated from the jumping spider, showed Na

-independent alkaline adaptation mechanisms. The draft genome sequence of
sp. strain TS-1 was 3,396,165 bp in total length and comprised 3 large contigs (2,699,404 bp, 691,278 bp, and 5,483 bp) that was deposited at DDBJ/ EMBL/GenBank under the accession number BASQ00000000. The annotation of the draft genome sequence indicated that this bacterium has 3 sets of

イオンビーム変異誘発研究グループでは、放射線抵抗性細菌の代表選手であるの著しく高い放射線耐性の原因を解明する研究に携わってきた。2011年3月の東京電力福島第一原子力発電所の事故により放出された放射性物質が表層土壌に降下した。表層土や汚泥に含まれる主たる放射性核種はセシウムである。セシウムは土壌に強く吸着しているので、今後の放射性物質の除染の必要性を考えた場合、表層土や汚泥からセシウムを選択的に取り出す技術の確立が急務とされている。このような土の除染対策に微生物を直接利用することは現実的ではないにせよ、大量の放射性廃棄物を別途保管しなければならないことを考えると、土からセシウムを回収する何らかの技術が確立された後、二次的にセシウムを濃縮・回収し、保管する放射性廃棄物の量をなるべく減らすことが必要となってくる。この二次的なセシウム濃縮に微生物を利用することを、さまざまな方法の中の選択肢のひとつとして考えることは可能であろう。二次濃縮ともなれば、被曝量は微生物の致死線量には至らずとも、突然変異を高頻度に誘発することになる。濃縮効率,低コスト,安全性などを勘案すると、放射線抵抗性細菌は、二次的な放射性セシウム濃縮のための宿主として有望かも知れないと考えている。

DSM11300 is an extremely radiation resistant, moderately thermophilic bacterium closely related to the mesophilic
. It has been reported that the
genome was comprised of a chromosome (2.47 Mb) and two plasmids (574 kb and 206 kb). In this study, we discovered that the
genome contained a small cryptic plasmid pGEC1 (1,957 bp) that had not been reported so far. pGEC1 possessed two open reading frames, one encoding 78 amino acid residues (pGEC Orf1) and the other encoding 298 amino acid residues (pGEC Orf2). The predicted amino acid sequence encoded by pGEC Orf1 exhibited similarity to the N-terminal region of hypothetical proteins upstream of the replication initiation factor encoded by plasmids of
species. On the other hand, the predicted amino acid sequence encoded by pGEC1 Orf2 exhibited weak homology to replication initiation factors encoded by plasmids of thermophilic
sp. TK015 and
sp. PCC6803.
