    Abstract Hydrogenotrophic denitrifiers are important bacteria for nitrate removal in wastewater and aquifers. Here, we report the complete genome sequences of three hydrogenotrophic denitrifiers, namely, Dechloromonas denitrificans strain D110, Ferribacterium limneticum strain F76, and Hydrogenophaga taeniospiralis strain H3, all of which were isolated from a nitrate-polluted aquifer in Bavaria (Germany).

    Abstract Gnotobiotic murine models are important to understand microbiota-host interactions. Despite the role of bacteriophages as drivers for microbiome structure and function, there is no information about the structure and function of the gut virome in gnotobiotic models and the link between bacterial and bacteriophage/prophage diversity. We studied the virome of gnotobiotic murine Oligo-MM12 (12 bacterial species) and reduced Altered Schaedler Flora (ASF, three bacterial species). As reference, the virome of Specific Pathogen-Free (SPF) mice was investigated. A metagenomic approach was used to assess prophages and bacteriophages in the guts of 6-week-old female mice. We identified a positive correlation between bacteria diversity, and bacteriophages and prophages.

    Abstract Stimulating litho‐autotrophic denitrification in aquifers with hydrogen is a promising strategy to remove excess NO₃⁻, but it often entails accumulation of the cytotoxic intermediate NO₂⁻ and the greenhouse gas N₂O. To explore if these high NO₂⁻ and N₂O concentrations are caused by differences in the genomic composition, the regulation of gene transcription or the kinetics of the reductases involved, we isolated hydrogenotrophic denitrifiers from a polluted aquifer, performed whole‐genome sequencing and investigated their phenotypes. We therefore assessed the kinetics of NO₂⁻, NO, N₂O, N₂ and O₂ as they depleted O₂ and transitioned to denitrification with NO₃⁻ as the only electron acceptor and hydrogen as the electron donor. Isolates with a complete denitrification pathway, although differing intermediate accumulation, were closely related to Dechloromonas denitrificans, Ferribacterium limneticum or Hydrogenophaga taeniospiralis. High NO₂⁻ accumulation was associated with the reductases' kinetics. While available, electrons only flowed towards NO₃⁻ in the narG‐containing H. taeniospiralis but flowed concurrently to all denitrification intermediates in the napA‐containing D. denitrificans and F. limneticum. The denitrification regulator RegAB, present in the napA strains, may further secure low intermediate accumulation. High N₂O accumulation only occurred during the transition to denitrification and is thus likely caused by delayed N₂O reductase expression.

    Abstract Montane grasslands in Europe are exposed to increasing temperatures twice as fast as the global average. Changes in climatic conditions are possibly accompanied by an increase in land use intensity, caused by a prolongation of the vegetation period and the need to improve productivity. Therefore, the investigation of combined effects of climate change and land use intensity is needed to further implement agricultural management strategies. Here we present results from a study performed in the pre-alpine region of southern Germany, where intact plant-soil mesocosms from grasslands, were translocated along an altitudinal gradient, resulting in an increase in soil temperature (moderate treatment: +0.5 K; strong treatment: +1.9 K warming) during the experimental period. Additionally, we applied an extensive or intensive agricultural management (two vs. five times of mowing and slurry application) on the transplanted mesocosms. After an exposure of one year, we measured plant growth and soil properties and quantified abundances of soil microorganisms catalyzing key steps in the nitrogen (N) cycle. Our data indicate, significant interactions between climate change and management. For example, microbial biomass was significantly reduced (−47.7% and −49.8% for Cₘᵢc and Nₘᵢc respectively), which was further accompanied by lower abundances of N₂-fixing bacteria (up to −89,3%), as well as ammonia oxidizing bacteria (−81.4%) under intensive management, whereas N-mineralizing bacteria increased in abundance (up to +139.8%) under extensive management. Surprisingly, the abundances of denitrifying bacteria as well as mean N₂O emissions were not affected by the treatments. Overall, our data suggest pronounced shifts in the abundance of microbes driving the N cycle in soil as a result of combined climate change and land use intensification already after a short simulation period of one year.

    Abstract Although climate change is expected to increase the extent of drylands worldwide, the effect of drought on the soil microbiome is still insufficiently understood as for dominant but little characterized phyla like the Acidobacteria. In the present study the active acidobacterial communities of Namibian soils differing in type, physicochemical parameters, and land use were characterized by high-throughput sequencing. Water content, pH, major ions and nutrients were distinct for sandy soils, woodlands or dry agriculture on loamy sands. Soils were repeatedly sampled over a 2-year time period and covered consecutively a strong rainy, a dry, a normal rainy and a weak rainy season. The increasing drought had differential effects on different soils. Linear modeling of the soil water content across all sampling locations and sampling dates revealed that the accumulated precipitation of the preceding season had only a weak, but statistically significant effect, whereas woodland and irrigation exerted a strong positive effect on water content. The decrease in soil water content was accompanied by a pronounced decrease in the fraction of active Acidobacteria (7.9-0.7%) while overall bacterial community size/cell counts remained constant. Notably, the strongest decline in the relative fraction of Acidobacteria was observed after the first cycle of rainy and dry season, rather than after the weakest rainy season at the end of the observation period. Over the 2-year period, also the β-diversity of soil Acidobacteria changed. During the first year this change in composition was related to soil type (loamy sand) and land use (woodland) as explanatory variables. A total of 188 different acidobacterial sequence variants affiliated with the "

    Abstract The mucosal immunity is crucial for restricting SARS-CoV-2 at its entry site. Intramuscularly applied vaccines against SARS-CoV-2 stimulate high levels of neutralizing Abs in serum, but the impact of these intramuscular vaccinations on features of mucosal immunity is less clear. Here, we analyzed kinetic and functional properties of anti-SARS-CoV-2 Abs in the saliva after vaccination with BNT162b2. We analyzed a total of 24 healthy donors longitudinally for up to 16 months. We found that specific IgG appeared in the saliva after the second vaccination, declined thereafter and reappeared after the third vaccination. Adjusting serum and saliva for the same IgG concentration revealed a strong correlation between the reactivity in these two compartments. Reactivity to VoCs correlated strongly as seen by ELISAs against RBD variants and by live-virus neutralizing assays against replication-competent viruses. For further functional analysis, we purified IgG and IgA from serum and saliva. In vaccinated donors we found neutralizing activity towards authentic virus in the IgG, but not in the IgA fraction of the saliva. In contrast, IgA with neutralizing activity appeared in the saliva only after breakthrough infection. In serum, we found neutralizing activity in both the IgA and IgG fractions. Together, we show that intramuscular mRNA vaccination transiently induces a mucosal immunity that is mediated by IgG and thus differs from the mucosal immunity after infection. Waning of specific mucosal IgG might be linked to susceptibility for breakthrough infection.
