Abstract
Biogeographic variations in the gut microbiota are pivotal to understanding the global pattern of host-microbiota interactions in prevalent lifestyle-related diseases. Pakistani adults, having an exceptionally high prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D), are one of the most understudied populations in microbiota research to date. The aim of the present study is to examine the gut microbiota across individuals from Pakistan and other populations of non-industrialized and industrialized lifestyles with a focus on T2D. The fecal samples from 94 urban-dwelling Pakistani adults with and without T2D were profiled by bacterial 16S ribosomal RNA gene and fungal internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region amplicon sequencing and eubacterial qPCR, and plasma samples quantified for circulating levels of lipopolysaccharide-binding protein (LBP) and the activation ability of Toll-like receptor (TLR)-signaling. Publicly available datasets generated with comparable molecular methods were retrieved for comparative analysis of the bacterial microbiota. Overall, urbanized Pakistanis' gut microbiota was similar to that of transitional or non-industrialized populations, depleted in Akkermansiaceae and enriched in Prevotellaceae (dominated by the non-Westernized clades of Prevotella copri). The relatively high proportion of Atopobiaceae appeared to be a unique characteristic of the Pakistani gut microbiota. The Pakistanis with T2D had elevated levels of LBP and TLR-signaling in circulation as well as gut microbial signatures atypical of other populations, e.g., increased relative abundance of Libanicoccus/Parolsenella, limiting the inter-population extrapolation of gut microbiota-based classifiers for T2D. Taken together, our findings call for a more global representation of understudied populations to extend the applicability of microbiota-based diagnostics and therapeutics.

Abstract
Two strictly anaerobic, Gram-stain-positive, non-motile bacteria (strains OPF53T and TOC12T) were isolated from mouse intestines. Strains OPF53T and TOC12T grew at pH 5.5–9.0 and 5.0–9.0, respectively, and at temperatures of 30–45 °C. The cell morphologies of these strains were short rods and rods, respectively, and the cells possessed intracellular granules. The major cellular fatty acids of OPF53T were C18 : 1
cis 9 and C18 : 1
cis 9 dimethyl acetal, whereas those of TOC12T were C18 : 0 and C18 : 1
cis 9. In OPF53T, the main end-products of modified peptone–yeast extract–glucose (PYG) fermentation were lactate, formate and butyrate, whereas, in addition to these acids, TOC12T also produced hydrogen. The genomes of OPF53T and TOC12T were respectively 2.2 and 2.0 Mbp in size with a DNA G+C contents of 69.1 and 58.7 %. The 16S rRNA gene sequences of OPF53T and TOC12T showed the highest similarity to members of the family
Atopobiaceae
, namely,
Olsenella phocaeensis
Marseille-P2936T (94.3 %) and
Olsenella umbonata
KCTC 15140T (93.2 %), respectively. Phylogenetic analyses revealed that both isolates formed distinct lineages from other genera of the family
Atopobiaceae
. In addition, the two strains were characterized by relatively low 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity (93.4 %) and can be distinguished by their distinctive traits (including cell shape, DNA G+C content, and major fatty acids profiles). On the basis of their polyphasic taxonomic properties, these isolates represent two noel species of two novel genera within the family
Atopobiaceae
, for which the names Granulimonas faecalis gen. nov., sp. nov. (OPF53T=JCM 35015T=KCTC 25474T) and Leptogranulimonas caecicola gen. nov., sp. nov. (TOC12T=JCM 35017T=KCTC 25472T) are proposed.

Species-specific genomic sequences for classification of bacteria. Comput Biol Med 2020; 123:103874. [PMID: 32658789 DOI: 10.1016/j.compbiomed.2020.103874] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/19/2020] [Revised: 06/04/2020] [Accepted: 06/20/2020] [Indexed: 02/04/2023]
Abstract
Modern bacterial classification relies on genomic relatedness. Genetic variation in bacterial populations present a big challenge for taxonomic classification and recently several bacterial species have been reclassified based on the intra-species genome comparison. These were facilitated by next generation sequencing technologies and advances in genome comparison approaches which led to the rearrangement of diverse bacterial species and revolution in the microbial classification system. One of the outcome of these studies is the development of suitable DNA barcodes as reliable and cost-effective method for identifying various bacterial genera. Towards refining this further, we have applied a genome comparison approach in 1104 bacterial genome assemblies (excluding plasmids) to identify unique genomic segments among intra-species genome assemblies. Using extensive bioinformatics analysis, we have identified species-specific genomic regions and designed unique primers for 100 different species (belonging to 62 genera) which includes 62 pathogenic and 13 opportunistic pathogenic bacterial species and built a database (http://slsdb.manipal.edu/bact/). These species-specific genomic regions will have a major impact on in silico and molecular methods aimed at bacterial classification and identification. These may also serve as better DNA barcodes than the markers currently used for delineation of bacteria and may also find application in various translational research programs.

Abstract
Genome analysis is one of the main criteria for description of new taxa. Availability of genome sequences for all the actinobacteria with a valid nomenclature will, however, require another decade's works of sequencing. This paper describes the rearrangement of the higher taxonomic ranks of the members of the phylum 'Actinobacteria', using the phylogeny of 16S rRNA gene sequences and supported by the phylogeny of the available genome sequences. Based on the refined phylogeny of the 16S rRNA gene sequences, we could arrange all the members of the 425 genera of the phylum 'Actinobacteria' with validly published names currently in use into six classes, 46 orders and 79 families, including 16 new orders and 10 new families. The order Micrococcales Prévot 1940 (Approved Lists 1980) emend. Nouioui et al. 2018 is now split into 11 monophyletic orders: the emended order Micrococcales and ten proposed new orders Aquipuribacterales, Beutenbergiales, Bogoriellales, Brevibacteriales, Cellulomonadales, Demequinales, Dermabacterales, Dermatophilales, Microbacteriales and Ruaniales. Further, the class 'Actinobacteria' Stackebrandt et al. 1997 emend. Nouioui et al. 2018 was described without any nomenclature type, and therefore the name 'Actinobacteria' is deemed illegitimate. In accordance to Rule 8 of the International Code of Nomenclature of Prokaryotes, Parker et al. 2019, we proposed the name Actinomycetia which is formed by using the stem of the name Actinomycetales Buchanan 1917 (Approved Lists 1980) emend. Zhi et al. 2009, to replace the name 'Actinobacteria'. The nomenclature type of the proposed new class Actinomycetia is the order Actinomycetales Buchanan 1917 (Approved Lists 1980) emend. Zhi et al. 2009.
