- W3154340039 abstract "Approaches for recovering and analyzing genomes belonging to novel, hitherto-unexplored bacterial lineages have provided invaluable insights into the metabolic capabilities and ecological roles of yet-uncultured taxa. The phylum Acidobacteria is one of the most prevalent and ecologically successful lineages on Earth, yet currently, multiple lineages within this phylum remain unexplored. Here, we utilize genomes recovered from Zodletone Spring, an anaerobic sulfide and sulfur-rich spring in southwestern Oklahoma, as well as from multiple disparate soil and nonsoil habitats, to examine the metabolic capabilities and ecological role of members of family UBA6911 (group 18) Acidobacteria. The analyzed genomes clustered into five distinct genera, with genera Gp18_AA60 and QHZH01 recovered from soils, genus Ga0209509 from anaerobic digestors, and genera Ga0212092 and UBA6911 from freshwater habitats. All genomes analyzed suggested that members of Acidobacteria group 18 are metabolically versatile heterotrophs capable of utilizing a wide range of proteins, amino acids, and sugars as carbon sources, possess respiratory and fermentative capacities, and display few auxotrophies. Soil-dwelling genera were characterized by larger genome sizes, higher numbers of CRISPR loci, an expanded carbohydrate active enzyme (CAZyme) machinery enabling debranching of specific sugars from polymers, possession of a C1 (methanol and methylamine) degradation machinery, and a sole dependence on aerobic respiration. In contrast, nonsoil genomes encoded a more versatile respiratory capacity for oxygen, nitrite, sulfate, and trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) respiration, as well as the potential for utilizing the Wood-Ljungdahl (WL) pathway as an electron sink during heterotrophic growth. Our results not only expand our knowledge of the metabolism of a yet-uncultured bacterial lineage but also provide interesting clues on how terrestrialization and niche adaptation drive metabolic specialization within the Acidobacteria. IMPORTANCE Members of the Acidobacteria are important players in global biogeochemical cycles, especially in soils. A wide range of acidobacterial lineages remain currently unexplored. We present a detailed genomic characterization of genomes belonging to family UBA6911 (also known as group 18) within the phylum Acidobacteria. The genomes belong to different genera and were obtained from soil (genera Gp18_AA60 and QHZH01), freshwater habitats (genera Ga0212092 and UBA6911), and an anaerobic digestor (genus Ga0209509). While all members of the family shared common metabolic features, e.g., heterotrophic respiratory abilities, broad substrate utilization capacities, and few auxotrophies, distinct differences between soil and nonsoil genera were observed. Soil genera were characterized by expanded genomes, higher numbers of CRISPR loci, a larger carbohydrate active enzyme (CAZyme) repertoire enabling monomer extractions from polymer side chains, and methylotrophic (methanol and methylamine) degradation capacities. In contrast, nonsoil genera encoded more versatile respiratory capacities for utilizing nitrite, sulfate, TMAO, and the WL pathway, in addition to oxygen as electron acceptors. Our results not only broaden our understanding of the metabolic capacities within the Acidobacteria but also provide interesting clues on how terrestrialization shaped Acidobacteria evolution and niche adaptation." @default.
