Two Gram-negative, non-pigmented, motile bacteria were isolated from a sea water sample collected at St. Kilda Beach, Port Philip Bay, Victoria, Australia. The two strains were found to grow between 4 and 40 °C, pH 5-10 and tolerate up to 10 % NaCl. A phylogenetic study, based on a 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis indicated that strains NP 3b2(T) and H 94 belong to the genus Thalassospira. The sequence similarity of the 16S rRNA gene between the two new isolates is 99.8 % and between these strains and all validly named Thalassospira species was found to be in the range of 95-99.4 %. The DNA-DNA relatedness between the two strains was found to be 80.2 %, while relatedness with other validly named species of the genus Thalassospira was between 53 and 65 %. The average nucleotide identity (ANI) and the in silico genome-to-genome distance (GGD) between the two bacteria and T. profundimaris WP0211(T), T. xiamenensis M-5(T), 'T. permensis' NBRC 106175(T) and T. lucentensis QMT2(T) was 76-82 % and 21-25 %, respectively. The results of phylogenetic and genomic analysis, together with physiological and biochemical properties, indicated that the two strains represent a new species of the genus Thalassospira. Based on these data, a new species, Thalassospira australica, is proposed with strain NP 3b2(T) (=KMM 6365(T) = JCM 31222(T)) as the type strain.

Aims: Artificial reefs play a vital role in restoring and creating new habitats for marine species by providing suitable substrates, especially in areas where natural substrates have been degraded or lost due to declining water quality, destructive fishing practices, and coral diseases. Artificial reef restoration aimed at coral larval settlement is gaining prominence and initially depends on the development of biofilms on reef surfaces. In this study, we hypothesized that different artificial reef materials selectively influence the composition of biofilm bacterial communities, which in turn affected coral larval settlement and the overall success of coral rehabilitation efforts.

Article Synopsis
- The experiment examined how different diets affect the microbiota in the rumen, vagina, and uterus of beef heifers using a controlled design with varying grass and corn concentrate ratios.
- Results indicated that as the concentrate in the diet increased, the rumen pH decreased, but there were no significant changes in vaginal or uterine pH.
- Bacteroidetes was the predominant phylum in the rumen and decreased with more concentrate; however, vagina and uterus microbiota, primarily Firmicutes, remained stable despite dietary changes, while specific genera like Prevotella showed varying responses across different areas.

The marine bacterial genus has often been identified as an abundant member of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH)-exposed microbial communities. However, despite their potential usability for biotechnological applications, functional genes that are conserved in their genomes have barely been investigated. Thus, the goal of this study was to comprehensively examine the functional genes that were potentially responsible for aromatic hydrocarbon biodegradation in the genomes available from databases, including a new isolate of , strain GO-4, isolated from a phenanthrene-enriched marine bacterial consortium.

The genus has often been studied as a potential major contributing member of aromatic hydrocarbon-exposed microbial communities. Here, the complete genome sequence of a new isolate of , strain GO-4, was obtained and was confirmed to possess functional genes that are responsible for its metabolism of phthalic acid.

In the process of marine oil spill remediation, adding highly efficient oil degrading microorganisms can effectively promote oil degradation. However, in practice, the effect is far less than expected due to the inadaptability of microorganisms to the environment and their disadvantage in the competition with indigenous bacteria for nutrients. In this article, four strains of oil degrading bacteria were isolated from seawater in Jiaozhou Bay, China, where a crude oil pipeline explosion occurred seven years ago.
