Summary: Strain S02(T) was isolated from a sediment sample collected from the Bering Sea, with a wide range of growth temperature and pH. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that this strain belongs to the genus Devosia and showed high sequence similarities with other strains within the genus. A novel species within the genus Devosia, named Devosia beringensis sp. nov., is proposed based on phylogenetic analyses and phenotypic characteristics of strain S02(T).

Summary: The metagenome of fouling from a sulfidic spring in Russia was sequenced, and the dominant microbial community consisted of members of the phyla Gammaproteobacteria, Cyanobacteria, and Campilobacteriota. The complete genomes of two Thiothrix species, Thiothrix sulfatifontis and Thiothrix winogradskyi, were assembled and their taxonomic status was determined. The study also observed the anaerobic growth of Thiothrix in the presence of thiosulfate for the first time.

Summary: The study examined the bacterial microbiota of the skin and ear canals of healthy non-allergic and allergic German shepherd dogs, revealing differences in species richness and community composition between allergic and non-allergic dogs. The microbiome composition was most impacted by the household the dogs came from, followed by sex, host health status, and body site.

Summary: The study identified three potential new species and proposed three new taxa. Additionally, it suggested merging Alteromonas and Salinimonas, reclassifying Salinimonas within Alteromonas, and proposing new combinations for the species. Whole genome comparisons also revealed the unexpected encoding of aromatic hydrocarbon biodegradative compounds.

Summary: Hermetia illucens larvae, also known as black soldier fly larvae (BSFL), are efficient in converting organic waste into high-quality biomass. This study explored the role of gut microbes in this process by culturing members of the core gut microbiota. Two cultivation strategies were employed, dilution-to-extinction cultivation and direct plating, resulting in the isolation of a diverse range of bacterial strains. Phylogenetic analysis identified predominant genera, such as Providencia, Proteus, Morganella, Enterococcus, Bacillus, and members of the family Enterobacteriaceae, which have been previously associated with the BSFL gut microbiota. Genomic fingerprinting provided insights into the genetic diversity of the cultured bacteria that could not be obtained solely through 16S rRNA gene sequencing.
