An endo β-1,4-xylanase (XynE15) from a culture broth of a deep subseafloor microorganism, Microcella alkaliphila JAM-AC0309, was purified to homogeneity. The molecular mass of XynE15 was approximately 150 kDa as judged by SDS-PAGE. The optimal pH and temperature for hydrolysis of xylan were pH 8 and 65 °C. The enzyme was stable to incubation for 30 min at up to 75 °C, and the half-life at 50 °C was 48 h. XynE15 hydrolyzed arabinoxylan, oat spelt xylan, and birchwood xylan well, but not avicel, carboxymethylcellulose, or arabinan. Xylooligosaccharides were hydrolyzed to mainly xylobiose from higher than xylotetraose. The genome sequencing analysis of strain JAM-AC03039 revealed that XynE15 was composed of 1,319 amino acids with one catalytic domain and three carbohydrate-binding domains belonging to glycoside hydrolase (GH) family 10 and carbohydrate-binding module (CBM) family 4, respectively.

Microbiota can influence the occurrence, development, and therapeutic response of a wide variety of cancer types by modulating immune responses to tumors. Recent studies have demonstrated the existence of intratumor bacteria inside ovarian cancer (OV). However, whether intratumor microbes are associated with tumor microenvironment (TME) and prognosis of OV still remains unknown.

A novel Gram-staining positive, aerobic, rod-shaped, non-motile and yellow-pigmented actinobacterium, designated strain WY83, was isolated from a marine sediment of Indian Ocean. Strain WY83 grew optimally at 30-35 °C, pH 7-8 and with 0-3% (w/v) NaCl. The predominant menaquinones were MK-10, MK-11 and MK-12, and the major fatty acids were C ω9c/C19:1 ω11c, anteiso-C, C 3OH, and iso-C.

Here we report the complete genome sequence of Microcella alkaliphila JAM-AC0309, which was newly isolated from the deep subseafloor core sediment from offshore of the Shimokita Peninsula of Japan. An array of genes related to utilization of xylan in this bacterium was identified by whole genome analysis.

A high-G+C-content Gram-positive bacterium, designated as strain AC4r(T), was isolated from a highly alkaline, non-saline groundwater environment (pH 11.4). This organism formed small rod-shaped cells, was aerobic, heterotrophic, catalase-positive and oxidase-negative and had an optimum growth temperature of 35 degrees C and an optimum pH of 9.
