    Notes: Heterosmilax japonica Kunth is well recognized for its diuretic effects in China. However, little is known about its endophytic fungi. In this study, microbial communities inhabiting the stems of H. japonica in spring and summer were investigated by light microscopy and cultivation-independent approaches, such as RFLP analysis and sequencing of rDNA ITS library. Molecular phylogenetic analysis showed that a broad spectrum of fungi, including Mycosphaerella, Phomopsis, Aureobasidium, Cladosporium, Glomerella, Botryosphaeria, Guignardia, is able to colonize the plants internally. Particularly, several rDNA sequences determined in this study like YJ4-61 are not specifically affiliated with any currently documented fungal sequences in the public database. Several sequence types, such as YJ4-9 and YJ4–70, are significantly similar to some uncultured environmental samples. Furthermore, our result also showed that the samples collected in spring harbored more abundant endophytic populations than that in summer, implying a seasonal fluctuation for the endophytes in H. japonica.

    Notes: A 16S rDNA-based molecular study was performed to determine the nature of the bacterial constituents of the leachate from a closed municipal solid waste landfill. Total community DNA was extracted and bacterial 16S rRNA genes were subsequently amplified and cloned. Recombinant rDNA clones in the library were randomly selected, and they were sequenced for a single run and then grouped. A total of 76 sequence types representing 138 randomly selected nonchimeric clones were identified. Full-length sequencing and phylogenetic analysis of the sequence types revealed that more than 90% of the screened clones were affiliated with low-G + C gram-positive bacteria (38.4%), Proteobacteria (35.5%), the Cytophaga Flexibacter Bacteroides group (11.6%), and Spirochaetes (5.1%). Minor portions were affiliated with Verrucomicrobia (2.9%), candidate division OP11 (2.2%), and the green nonsulfur bacteria, Cyanobacteria and the Deinococcus Thermus group (each 〈1.0%). Although some rDNA sequences clustered with genera or taxa that were classically identified within anaerobic treatment systems and expected with known functions, a substantial fraction of the clone sequences showed relatively low levels of similarity with any other reported rDNA sequences and thus were derived from unknown taxa. These results suggest that bacterial communities in landfill environment are far more complex than previously expected and remain largely unexplored.

    Notes: Population structures and genetic diversity of the small eukaryotic plankton from the coastal waters of the Nansha Islands in China were investigated. Two genes libraries using 18S rDNA of the marine small eukaryotes were constituted, and 323 clones were identified within alveolates (more than 43%), acanthareas, viridiplantaes, and stramenopiles. Many novel clones were detected in the two libraries, including two groups of alveolates and two clades related to both acanthareas and polycystineas. Several sequences unrelated to any other known eukaryotes may represent early branches in the phylogenetic tree. Our results reveal that there is a high diversity and abundance of small eukaryotes in the marine regions of China.

    Notes: Cordyceps sinensis is one of the most valuable medicinal fungi in the Orient. It is naturally distributed in the eastern extension area of the Qinghai–Tibet plateau, at an altitude over 4000 m high. In order to investigate genetic variation and evolutionary relationships of C. sinensis from different geographical regions, 17 isolates of C. sinensis were collected from different provinces and the complete sequences of rDNA ITS were determined. On the basis of 5.8S rDNA and ITS region analysis, it was clearly shown that the ITS sequences within C. sinensis are highly homologous regardless of geographical origin. The distance values between the sequences in this study were lower than 0.03. This implied that C. sinensis from different geographic regions are the same species; they are not different species or a species complex. The results also showed that distance values between C. sinensis and Hirsutella sinensis are of the same order as those within C. sinensis from different geographic regions. This confirmed our previous results that C. sinensis should only have H. sinensis as its asexual stage whatever the geographic region from which the samples were collected. An rDNA ITS clone library was established to obtain further evidence for the interpretation of the fungal community structure from C. sinensis and to confirm the accuracy of the taxonomic identities produced by directly sequencing the rDNA ITS region. The discrimination between intraspecies of C. sinensis might provide additional data for the authentication of medicinal material at the species or intraspecies level.

    Notes: [Auszug] The ten new sequences, as shown in Fig. 1, correspond to the ~450 nucleotides of the 5' end of the cytoplasmic large ribosomal RNA (28S). This molecule can be used as a tracer of the history of the nucleo-cytoplasmic compartment independently of the chloroplast compartment, which is now widely ...

    Notes: The diversity and structure of the archaeal community in the effluent leachate from a full-scale recirculating landfill was characterized by direct 16S rRNA gene (16S rDNA) retrieval. Total-community DNA was extracted from the microbial assemblages in the landfill leachate, and archaeal 16S rDNAs were amplified with a universally conserved primer and an Archaea-specific primer. The amplification product was then used to construct a 16S rDNA clone library, and 70 randomly selected archaeal clones in the library were grouped by restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis. Sequencing and phylogenetic analysis of representatives from each unique RFLP type showed that the archaeal library was dominated by methanogen-like rDNAs. Represented in the kingdom of Euryarchaeota were phylotypes highly similar to the methanogenic genera Methanoculleus, Methanosarcina, Methanocorpusculum, Methanospirillum and Methanogenium, where the clone distribution was 48, 11, 3, 1 and 1, respectively. No sequences related to known Methanosaeta spp. were retrieved. Four rDNA clones were not affiliated with the known methanogenic Archaea, but instead, they were clustered with the uncultured archaeal sequences recently recovered from anaerobic habitats. Two chimeric sequences were identified among the clones analyzed.

    Notes: We analyzed the phylogenetic composition of bacterial community in the effluent leachate of a full-scale recirculating landfill using a culture-independent molecular approach. 16S rRNA genes were amplified directly from leachate DNA with universally conserved and Bacteria-specific rDNA primers and cloned. The clone library was screened by restriction fragment length polymorphism, and representative rDNA sequences were determined. Many bacterial sequences displaying relatively low levels of similarity to any other hitherto reported rDNA sequences were retrieved. A total of 103 bacterial sequence types were found in 195 analyzed clones. Roughly 90% of the sequence types were affiliated with low-G + C gram-positive bacteria, the Chlamydiae/Verrucomicrobia group and with the Cytophaga–Flexibacter–Bacteroides group, where the clone distribution was 53%, 21% and 19%, respectively. The other 10 sequence types represented 7% of the total clones, and they were either affiliated with well-recognized bacterial divisions Planctomycetes, Spirochaetes, Proteobacteria and Actinobacteria, or grouped within two recently proposed candidate divisions OP9 and OP11. The most frequent sequence type represented less than 10% of the total bacterial 16S rRNA gene sequences, and the 15 more frequent sequence types accounted for at least 47% of these sequences. Some rRNA gene sequences clustered with genera or taxa that were classically identified within anaerobic treatment systems. These results indicate that, despite recent expansion, our knowledge on the microbial diversity in anaerobic treatment systems is still limited.

    Notes: Cultivation-independent molecular approaches were used to investigate the phylogenetic composition of Archaea and the relative abundance of phylogenetically defined groups of methanogens in the leachate of a closed municipal solid waste landfill. Cloning and phylogenetic analysis of archaeal 16S rRNA gene sequences (16S rDNA) revealed that the landfill leachate harbored a diverse Archaea community, with sequence types distributed within the two archaeal kingdoms of the Euryarchaeota and the Crenarchaeota. Of the 80 clones examined, 51 were phylogenetically associated with well-defined methanogen lineages covering two major methanogenic phenotypes; 20 were related to Thermoplasma and were grouped with some novel archaeal rRNA gene sequences recently recovered from various anaerobic habitats; finally, five belonged to Crenarchaeota and were not closely related to any hitherto cultivated species. Most of the methanogen-like clones were affiliated with the hydrogenotrophic Methanomicrobiales and the methylotrophic and acetoclastic Methanosarcinales. Quantitative oligonucleotide hybridization experiments showed that methanogens in the leachate accounted for only a very small fraction of the total community (approximately 2%) and that Methanomicrobiales and Methanosarcinales constituted the majority of the total methanogenic population.

    Notes: Summary Due to their high information content and their particular mode of variation, large rRNA molecules potentially represent powerful indicators of phylogenetic relationships. Even partial sequences may suffice to generate reliable estimations, provided they correspond to well-chosen portions of the molecule. We have systematically analyzed a specific portion of the large rRNA (the region extending over nearly 400 nucleotides from the 5′ end) as a general index of eucaryotic phylogeny. By means of fast and direct rRNA sequencing, we have determined the sequence of this region for 20 additional eucaryotes, including several representatives of each vertebrate class, an invertebrate metazoan (mussel), a fungus (Schizosaccharomyces pombe), and three higher plants. Comparative treatment of these new data and previously reported rRNA sequences shows that this region can serve as an indicator of eucaryotic phylogeny for evaluating both long-range and short-range relationships. Its conservative domains appear to possess a rather uniform rate of nucleotide changes in all the eucaryotic lineages analyzed and the phylogenetic tree we derived agrees with classical views.
