Depending on the degree of environmental pressure and the combined effect of other factors, haloalkalitolerant and haloalkaliphilic bacterial communities will be selected. These bacteria play a potential role in the maintenance and restoration of salt-affected soils; however, until recently, only a limited number of studies have simultaneously studied the bacterial diversity and activity of saline–sodic soils. Soil samples were collected to analyse and compare the taxonomic composition and metabolic activity of bacteria from four distinct natural plant communities at three soil depths corresponding to a salinity‒sodicity gradient. Bacterial diversity was detected using 16S rRNA gene Illumina MiSeq amplicon sequencing. Community-level physiological profiles (CLPPs) were analysed using the MicroResp™ method. The genus-level bacterial composition and CLPPs differed significantly in soils with different alkaline vegetation. The surface soil samples also significantly differed from the intermediate and deep soil samples. The results showed that the pH, salt content, and Na + content of the soils were the main edaphic factors influencing both bacterial diversity and activity. With salinity and pH, the proportion of the phylum Gemmatimonadota increased, while the proportions of Actinobacteriota and Acidobacteriota decreased.}, year = {2024}, eissn = {2045-2322}, orcid-numbers = {Mucsi, Márton/0000-0001-6226-0607; Kériné Borsodi, Andrea/0000-0002-3738-7937; Megyes, Melinda/0000-0002-7178-5883; Szili Kovács, Tibor/0000-0002-8354-0656} } @{MTMT:34599627, title = {Exploring the highest Atacama: Where the desert meets the tundra-water-related processes in the cold-dry environment}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/34599627}, author = {Nagy, Balázs and Pereira, SR and Kovács, József and Kériné Borsodi, Andrea and Kern, Zoltán and Mihajlik, Gábor and Ignéczi, Ádám}, booktitle = {Advances in Environmental Research.

Due to their excellent water tightness and strength, cementitious materials are used to build WWTPs. However, the performance of these materials is affected by aggressive environments. There are few in situ experiments in the literature regarding the deterioration of cementitious materials in WWTPs. This paper investigates their deterioration mechanisms in a sewage pumping station and a sand-trap structure of a WWTP. In situ experiment was conducted by exposing cement specimens in both locations for 1, 2, 3 and 7 months. The physical and morphological changes of the specimens were examined using stereo microscopy and scanning electron microscopy, whereas the mineralogical/solid phase changes were examined using X-ray diffraction. The results showed that the specimens from the pumping station formed colored surface products, which were confirmed to be secondary minerals (i.e., gypsum and ettringite), whereas there were no colored surface products in the sand-trap structure. The results demonstrated that cementitious materials subjected to wastewater vapors (in a pumping station) had higher deterioration effects than those subjected to wastewater liquid (in a sand-trap structure), suggesting that the wastewater vapors are more aggressive toward cementitious materials than wastewater liquids.}, year = {2024}, eissn = {2504-477X}, orcid-numbers = {Kashaija, Nedson T./0009-0004-3913-4169; Krett, Gergely/0000-0003-1145-4852; Szabó, Csaba/0000-0002-1580-6344; M Tóth, Erika/0000-0001-9048-5758; Szabó-Krausz, Zsuzsanna/0000-0002-4454-8700} } @article{MTMT:34560277, title = {Calcium carbonate precipitating extremophilic bacteria in an Alpine ice cave}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/34560277}, author = {Lange-Enyedi, Nóra and Németh, Péter and Kériné Borsodi, Andrea and Spötl, C and Makk, Judit}, doi = {10.1038/s41598-024-53131-y}, journal-iso = {SCI REP}, journal = {SCIENTIFIC REPORTS}, volume = {14}, unique-id = {34560277}, issn = {2045-2322}, abstract = {Extensive research has provided a wealth of data on prokaryotes in caves and their role in biogeochemical cycles. Ice caves in carbonate rocks, however, remain enigmatic environments with limited knowledge of their microbial taxonomic composition. In this study, bacterial and archaeal communities of the Obstans Ice Cave (Carnic Alps, Southern Austria) were analyzed by next-generation amplicon sequencing and by cultivation of bacterial strains at 10 °C and studying their metabolism. The most abundant bacterial taxa were uncultured Burkholderiaceae and Brevundimonas spp. in the drip water, Flavobacterium, Alkanindiges and Polaromonas spp. in the ice, Pseudonocardia, Blastocatella spp., uncultured Pyrinomonadaceae and Sphingomonadaceae in carbonate precipitates, and uncultured Gemmatimonadaceae and Longimicrobiaceae in clastic cave sediments. These taxa are psychrotolerant/psychrophilic and chemoorganotrophic bacteria. On a medium with Mg2+/Ca2+ = 1 at 21 °C and 10 °C, 65% and 35% of the cultivated strains precipitated carbonates, respectively. The first ~ 200 µm-size crystals appeared 2 and 6 weeks after the start of the cultivation experiments at 21 °C and 10 °C, respectively. The crystal structure of these microbially induced carbonate precipitates and their Mg-content are strongly influenced by the Mg2+/Ca2+ ratio of the culture medium. These results suggest that the high diversity of prokaryotic communities detected in cryogenic subsurface environments actively contributes to carbonate precipitation, despite living at the physical limit of the presence of liquid water.}, year = {2024}, eissn = {2045-2322}, orcid-numbers = {Németh, Péter/0000-0001-5592-5877; Kériné Borsodi, Andrea/0000-0002-3738-7937; Makk, Judit/0000-0001-5768-7622} } @article{MTMT:34560238, title = {Linking Antibiotic Resistance Gene Patterns with Advanced Faecal Pollution Assessment and Environmental Key Parameters along 2300 km of the Danube River}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/34560238}, author = {Schachner-Groehs, Iris and Koller, Michael and Leopold, Melanie and Kolm, Claudia and Linke, Rita B and Jakwerth, Stefan and Kolarević, Stoimir and Kračun-Kolarević, Margareta and Kandler, Wolfgang and Sulyok, Michael and Vierheilig, Julia and Toumi, Marwene and Farkas, Rózsa and M Tóth, Erika and Kittinger, Clemens and Zarfel, Gernot and Farnleitner, Andreas H and Kirschner, Alexander KT}, doi = {10.1016/j.watres.2024.121244}, journal-iso = {WATER RES}, journal = {WATER RESEARCH}, unique-id = {34560238}, issn = {0043-1354}, year = {2024}, eissn = {1879-2448}, orcid-numbers = {M Tóth, Erika/0000-0001-9048-5758} } @article{MTMT:34490882, title = {Acidovorax benzenivorans sp. nov., a novel aromatic hydrocarbon-degrading bacterium isolated from a xylene-degrading enrichment culture}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/34490882}, author = {Bedics, Anna and Táncsics, András and Banerjee, Sinchan and M Tóth, Erika and Harkai, Péter and Gottschall , Gerda Georgina and Bóka, Károly and Kriszt, Balázs}, doi = {10.1099/ijsem.0.006219}, journal-iso = {INT J SYST EVOL MICR}, journal = {INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SYSTEMATIC AND EVOLUTIONARY MICROBIOLOGY}, volume = {74}, unique-id = {34490882}, issn = {1466-5026}, abstract = {A Gram-stain-negative strain, designated as D2M1 T was isolated from xylene-degrading enrichment culture and characterized using a polyphasic approach to determine its taxonomic position. The 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis revealed that strain D2M1 T belongs to the genus Acidovorax , with the highest 16S rRNA gene similarity to Acidovorax delafieldii DSM 64 T (99.93 %), followed by Acidovorax radicis DSM 23535 T (98.77 %) and Acidovorax kalamii MTCC 12652 T (98.76 %). The draft genome sequence of strain D2M1 T is 5.49 Mb long, and the G+C content of the genome is 64.2 mol%. Orthologous average nucleotide identity and digital DNA–DNA hybridization relatedness values between strain D2M1 T and its closest relatives were below the threshold values for species demarcation confirming that strain D2M1 T is distinctly separated from its closest relatives. The whole genome analysis of the strain revealed a phenol degradation gene cluster, encoding a multicomponent phenol hydroxylase (mPH) together with a complete meta -cleavage pathway including an I.2.C-type catechol 2,3-dioxygenase (C23O) gene. The strain was able to degrade benzene and ethylbenzene as sole sources of carbon and energy under aerobic and microaerobic conditions. Cells were facultatively aerobic rods and motile with a single polar flagellum. The predominant fatty acids (>10 % of the total) of strain D2M1 T were summed feature 3 (C 16 : 1 ω 7 c /C 16 : 1 ω 6 c ), C 16 : 0 and summed feature 8 (C 18 : 1 ω 7 c /C 18 : 1 ω 6 c ). The major ubiquinone of strain D2M1 T was Q8, while the major polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylethanolamine. Based on polyphasic data, it is concluded that strain D2M1 T represents a novel species of the genus Acidovorax , for which the name of Acidovorax benzenivorans sp. nov. is proposed.

The temperature optimum of its photosynthetic performance was tested by oxygen yield measurements and pulse-amplitude-modulated fluorescence, which were completed by determination of specific growth rates at different temperatures, from 10 to 40 °C. In addition, we also evaluated the brassinosteroid (BR) content of these cultures. Our results indicated that the studied microalga is capable of growing from 10 to 40 °C, with a 20–25 °C temperature optimum; these findings were in accordance with the observed hormone levels. Regarding photosynthetic performance, the oxygen yield and chlorophyll fluorescence measurements showed maxima at 30–40 °C and 35–40 °C, respectively.
