    Abstract ABSTRACTPink-pigmented facultative methylotrophs of the genera Methylorubrum and Methylobacterium are metabolically versatile bacteria that colonize many diverse environments on earth. Despite their widespread occurrence, the molecular details of how these organisms interact with each other and their environment remain understudied. We analyzed genes encoding N-acylhomoserine lactone (acyl-HSL) quorum sensing signal synthases in the published genomes of these bacteria and determined that the product of the largest family of signal synthases had not been characterized. We identified 3R-OH-5Z-C12:1-HSL as a novel signal produced by these synthases using inverse stable isotopic labeling and structural characterization by mass spectrometry, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and chemical synthesis. We show that in the methylotroph Methylobacterium fujisawaense DSM5686, this signal activates its cognate LuxR-family transcription factor and is produced in a positive feedback loop. We also discover that in this strain, quorum sensing negatively regulates swarming motility by activating the expression of a small protein that binds a predicted transcription factor. These results characterize a previously undescribed, yet widespread quorum sensing system used by pink-pigmented facultative methylotrophs, which helps us understand the chemical ecology of these important bacteria.IMPORTANCEBacteria known as pink-pigmented facultative methylotrophs colonize many diverse environments on earth, play an important role in the carbon cycle, and in some cases promote plant growth. However, little is known about how these organisms interact with each other and their environment. In this work, we identify one of the chemical signals commonly used by these bacteria and discover that this signal controls swarming motility in the pink-pigmented facultative methylotroph Methylobacterium fujisawaense DSM5686. This work provides new molecular details about interactions between these important bacteria and will help scientists predict ...

    Abstract Aims: A natural terroir unit (NTU) can be defined as a unit of land that is characterized by relatively homogenous topography, climate, geological substrate and soil. The mapping of NTUs is the first stage of data acquisition in a terroir study. This study aimed to identify NTUs using a Geographic Information System and to characterize the Stellenbosch Wine of Origin District using existing digital information at the scale of a wine producing district. Methods and results: The study area is bordered by mountains, situated close to the Atlantic Ocean and bisected by the Eerste river valley, resulting in notable spatial variation of all climatic parameters. The geology is complex due to the high degree of tectonic movement and mixing of parent material. Terrain morphological units, altitude, aspect and soil type were used as primary keys/variables for the identification of NTUs. Each of the identified units was further described with respect to the extent of the expected sea breeze effect and, for certain of the soil types, the associated parent material. A total of 1389 NTUs were identified in the Stellenbosch Wine of Origin District. Conclusions: Many of the natural terroir units identified for the Stellenbosch Wine of Origin District are of a size that is not economically or practically viable. Significance and impact of the study: The natural terroir units should be grouped into larger, more manageable and thus more viable terroir units using data relating their viticultural and oenological potential. This task will be addressed in subsequent companion papers.
