Introduction
Peptoniphilus obesi strain ph1T (=CSUR=P187, =DSM =25489) is the type strain of P. obesi sp. nov. This bacterium is a Gram-positive, anaerobic, indole-negative coccus that was isolated from the stool of a 26-year-old woman suffering from morbid obesity and is part of a study aiming at cultivating all species within human feces, individually [1].
Widespread use of gene sequencing, notably 16SrRNA, for the identification of bacteria recovered from clinical specimens, has enabled the description of a great number of bacterial species and genera of clinical importance [2,3]. The recent development of high throughput genome sequencing and mass spectrometric analyses has provided unprecedented access to a wealth of genetic and proteomic information [4].
The current classification of prokaryotes, known as polyphasic taxonomy, relies on a combination of phenotypic and genotypic characteristics [5]. However, as more than 3,000 bacterial genomes have been sequenced [6] and the cost of genomic sequencing is decreasing, we recently proposed to integrate genomic information in addition to their main phenotypic characteristics (habitat, Gram-stain reaction, culture and metabolic characteristics, and when applicable, pathogenicity) in the description of new bacterial species [7–18].
The commensal microbiota of humans and animals consists, in part, of many Gram-positive anaerobic cocci. These bacteria are also commonly associated with a variety of human infections [19]. Extensive taxonomic changes have occurred among this group of bacteria, especially in clinically-important genera such as Finegoldia, Parvimonas, and Peptostreptococcus [20]. Members of genus Peptostreptococcus were divided into three new genera, Peptoniphilus, Anaerococcus and Gallicola by Ezaki [20]. The genus Peptoniphilus currently contains eight species that produce butyrate, are non-saccharolytic and use peptone and amino acids as major energy sources: P. asaccharolyticus, P. harei, P. indolicus, P. ivorii, P. lacrimalis [20], P. gorbachii, P. olsenii, and P. methioninivorax [21,22].
Members of the genus Peptoniphilus have been isolated mainly from various human clinical specimens such as vaginal discharges, ovarian, peritoneal, sacral and lachrymal gland abscesses [23]. In addition, P. indolicus causes summer mastitis in cattle [23].
Here we present a summary classification and a set of features for P. obesi sp. nov. strain ph1T (CSUR=P187, DSM=25489) together with the description of the complete genomic sequence and its annotation. These characteristics support the circumscription of the species P. obesi.
Classification and features
A stool sample was collected from a 26-year-old woman living in Marseille (France), who suffered from morbid obesity: BMI = 48.2 (118.8 kg, 1.57 meter). At the time of stool sample collection, she was not a drug-user and was not on a diet. The patient gave an informed and signed consent, and the agreement of local ethics committee of the IFR48 (Marseille, France) were obtained under agreement 09-022. The fecal specimen was preserved at −80°C after collection. Strain ph1T (Table 1) was isolated in 2011 by anaerobic cultivation on 5% sheep blood-enriched Columbia agar (BioMerieux, Marcy l’Etoile, France) after 26 days of preincubation of the stool sample in an anaerobic blood culture bottle enriched with sterile blood and rumen fluid.
This strain exhibited a 91.0% nucleotide sequence similarity with P. asaccharolyticus and P. indolicus, the phylogenetically closest validated Peptoniphilus species (Figure 1). Among the validly published Peptoniphilus species, the percentage of 16S rRNA sequence similarity ranges from 86.0% (P. ivoriivs. P. olsenii) to 98.5% (P. asaccharolyticus vs. P. indolicus). Despite the fact that strain ph1 exhibited a 16SrRNA sequence similarity lower than the 95.0% cutoff, which is usually regarded as a threshold for the creation of new genus [2], we considered it as a new species within the Peptoniphilus genus.
Different growth temperatures (25, 30, 37, 45°C) were tested. Growth was observed between 30°C and 45°C, with optimal growth at 37°C. Colonies stained gray, transparent, opaque, non-bright and were 0.4 mm in diameter on blood-enriched Columbia agar. Growth of the strain was tested under anaerobic and microaerophilic conditions using GENbag anaer and GENbag microaer systems, respectively (BioMérieux), and in the presence of air, with or without 5% CO2. Optimal growth was achieved anaerobically, but no growth occurred in microaerophilic or aerobic conditions. A motility test was negative. Cells grown on agar are Gram-positive (Figure 2) and diameter ranged from 0.77µm to 0.93 µm with a mean diameter of 0.87 µm by electron microscopy (Figure 3).
Strain ph1T exhibited neither catalase nor oxidase activities. Using the API rapid ID 32A system (BioMérieux), positive reactions were observed for arginine arylamidase and leucine arylamidase. Negative reactions were found for urease, nitrate reduction, arginine dihydrolase, indole production, α-arabinosidase, α-glucosidase, α-fucosidase, β-galactosidase, glutamic acid decarboxylase, 6-phospho-β-galactosidase β-glucosidase, β-glucuronidase, N-acetyl-β-glucosaminidase, D-mannose, D-raffinose, alkaline phosphatase, alanine arylamidase, glutamyl glutamic acid arylamidase, glycine arylamidase, histidine arylamidase, leucyl glycine arylamidase, phenylalanine arylamidase, proline arylamidase, pyroglutamic acid arylamidase, serine arylamidase and tyrosine arylamidase. P. obesi is susceptible to penicillin G, amoxicillin, amoxicillin + clavulanic acid, imipenem, nitrofurantoin, erythromycin, doxycyclin, rifampicine, vancomycin, gentamicin 500, metronidazole and resistant to ceftriaxon, ciprofloxacin, gentamicin 10 and trimetoprim + sulfamethoxazole.
When compared with Peptoniphilus grossensis strain ph5T, P. obesi sp. nov strain ph1T exhibited phenotypic differences as no endospore formation, no indole, no tyrosine arylamidase, no histidine arylamidase production and this strain did not fermented D-mannose. P. obesi sp. nov strain ph1T differed from Peptoniphilus timonensis strain JC401T by endospore formation, catalase, indole, α-galactosidase, leucine arylamidase, tyrosine arylamidase, histidine arylamidase and serine arylamidase production. P. obesi sp. nov strain ph1T differed from Peptoniphilus gorbachii strain WAL 10418 T by glutamyl glutamic acid, phenylalanine arylamidase, tyrosine arylamidase and glycine arylamidase production (Table 2).
Matrix-assisted laser-desorption/ionization time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) MS protein analysis was carried out as previously described [34]. Briefly, a pipette tip was used to pick one isolated bacterial colony from a culture agar plate, and to spread it as a thin film on a MTP 384 MALDI-TOF target plate (Bruker Daltonics, Leipzig, Germany). Twelve distinct deposits were made for strain ph1T from twelve isolated colonies. Each smear was overlaid with 2 µL of matrix solution (saturated solution of alpha-cyano-4-hydroxycinnamic acid) in 50% acetonitrile, 2.5% tri-fluoracetic-acid, and allowed to dry for five minutes. Measurements were performed with a Microflex spectrometer (Bruker). Spectra were recorded in the positive linear mode for the mass range of 2,000 to 20,000 Da (parameter settings: ion source 1 (IS1), 20 kV; IS2, 18.5 kV; lens, 7 kV). A spectrum was obtained after 675 shots at a variable laser power. The time of acquisition was between 30 seconds and 1 minute per spot. The twelve ph1T spectra were imported into the MALDI BioTyper software (version 2.0, Bruker) and analyzed by standard pattern matching (with default parameter settings) against the main spectra of 3,769 bacteria including spectra from 8 of the 11 validly published species of Peptoniphilus, that are part of the reference data contained in the BioTyper database. The method of identification included the m/z from 2,000 to 20,000 Da For every spectrum, 100 peaks at most were taken into account and compared with spectra in the database. A score enabled the identification, or not, from the tested species: a score > 2 with a validly published species enabled the identification at the species level, a score > 1.7 but < 2 enabled the identification at the genus level; and a score < 1.7 did not enable any identification. For strain ph1T, the maximal obtained score was 1.25, thus suggesting that our isolate was not a member of a known species. We added the spectrum from strain ph1T to our database for future reference (Figure 4). Finally, the gel view allows us to highlight the spectra differences with other of Peptoniphilus genera members (Figure 5).
Genome sequencing and annotation
Genome project history
The organism was selected for sequencing on the basis of its phylogenetic position and 16S rRNA similarity to other members of the genus Peptoniphilus, and is part of a study of the human digestive flora aiming at isolating all bacterial species within human feces. It was the seventh genome of a Peptoniphilus species and the first genome of P. obesi sp. nov. A summary of the project information is shown in Table 3. The Genbank accession number is CAHB00000000 and consists of 32 contigs arranged in 5 scaffolds. Table 3 shows the project information and its association with MIGS version 2.0 compliance.
Growth conditions and DNA isolation
P. obesi sp. nov. strain ph1T(CSUR=P187, =DSM=25489), was grown anaerobically on 5% sheep blood-enriched BHI agar at 37°C. Four petri dishes were spread and resuspended in 3x500 µl of TE buffer and stored at 80°C. Then, 500 µl of this suspension were thawed, centrifuged for 3 minutes at 10,000 rpm and resuspended in 3×100µL of G2 buffer (EZ1 DNA Tissue kit, Qiagen). A first mechanical lysis was performed by glass powder on the Fastprep-24 device (Sample Preparation system, MP Biomedicals, USA) using 2×20 seconds cycles. DNA was then treated with 2.5 µg/µL lysozyme (30 minutes at 37°C) and extracted using the BioRobot EZ1 Advanced XL (Qiagen). The DNA was then concentrated and purified using the Qiamp kit (Qiagen). The yield and the concentration was measured by the Quant-it Picogreen kit (Invitrogen) on the Genios Tecan fluorometer at 37.2 ng/µl.
Genome sequencing and assembly
DNA (5 µg) was mechanically fragmented on a Hydroshear device (Digilab, Holliston, MA, USA) with an enrichment size of 3–4kb. DNA fragmentation was visualized through an Agilent 2100 BioAnalyzer on a DNA labchip 7500 with an optimal size of 3.287kb. The library was constructed according to the 454 GS FLX Titanium paired-end protocol. Circularization and nebulization were performed and generated a pattern with an optimum at 665 bp. After PCR amplification through 15 cycles followed by double size selection, the single stranded paired end library was then quantified on the Quant-it Ribogreen kit (Invitrogen) on the Genios Tecan fluorometer at 72 pg/µL. The library concentration equivalence was calculated as 1.99E+08 molecules/µL. The library was stored at −20°C until further use.
The shotgun library was clonally amplified with 0.5 cpb and 1 cpb in 2 SV-emPCR reactions per condition, with the GS Titanium SV emPCR Kit (Lib-L) v2 (Roche). The yield of the emPCR was 9.2% for 0.5 cpb and 12% for 1 cpb in the range of 5 to 20% from the Roche procedure. Approximately 790,000 beads were loaded on 1/4 region of a GS Titanium PicoTiterPlate PTP Kit 70×75 and sequenced with the GS FLX Titanium Sequencing Kit XLR70 (Roche). The run was performed overnight and then analyzed on the cluster through the gsRunBrowser and Newbler assembler (Roche). A total of 228,882 passed filter wells were obtained and generated 76.8Mb of DNA sequence with a average length of 336 bp. The global passed filter sequences were assembled using Newbler with 90% identity and 40 bp as overlap. The final assembly identified 5 scaffolds and 32 large contigs (>1,500 bp) generating a genome size of 1.7 Mb.
Genome annotation
Open Reading Frames (ORFs) were predicted using Prodigal [35] with default parameters but the predicted ORFs were excluded if they spanned a sequencing gap region. The predicted bacterial protein sequences were searched against the GenBank database [36] and the Clusters of Orthologous Groups (COG) databases using BLASTP. The tRNAScanSE tool [37] was used to find tRNA genes, whereas ribosomal RNAs were found by using RNAmmer [38] and BLASTN against the GenBank database. Signal peptides and numbers of transmembrane helices were predicted using SignalP [39] and TMHMM [40], respectively. ORFans were identified if their BLASTP E-value was lower than 1e-03 for alignment length greater than 80 amino acids. If alignment lengths were smaller than 80 amino acids, we used an E-value of 1e-05. To estimate the mean level of nucleotide sequence similarity at the genome level between Peptoniphilus obesi and other members of the Peptoniphilus genera, we compared genomes two by two and determined the mean percentage of nucleotide sequence identity among orthologous ORFs using BLASTn Orthologous genes were detected using the Proteinortho software [41].
Genome properties
The genome is 1,774,150 bp long (1 chromosome, but no plasmid) with a 30.10% G+C content (Table 4 and Figure 6). Of the 1,718 predicted genes, 1,689 were protein-coding genes and 29 were RNAs. A total of 1,278 genes (74.39%) were assigned a putative function. ORFans represented 4.9% (84 genes) of the predicted genes. The remaining genes were annotated as hypothetical proteins. The distribution of genes into COGs functional categories is presented in Table 5 and Figure 6. The properties and the statistics of the genome are summarized in Tables 4 and 5.
Comparison with the genomes from other Peptoniphilus species
Here, we compared the genome sequence of P. obesi strain ph1T with those of P. harei strain ACS-146-V-Sch2b, P. lacrimalis strain 315-B, Peptoniphilus senegalensis JC140T, Peptoniphilus timonensis JC401T, Peptoniphilus grossensis ph5 T and Peptoniphilus indolicus strain ATCC BAA-1640.
The draft genome sequence of P. obesi strain ph1T has a larger size than that of P. lacrimalis (1.69Mb) and P. timonensis (1.76Mb), but a smaller size than that of P. harei (1.83Mb), P. grossensis (2.10Mb), P. senegalensis (1.84Mb) and P. indolicus (2.20Mb). The G+C content of P. obesi is comparable to that of P. lacrimalis and P. timonensis (30.10%, 29.91% and 30.70% respectively) but less than that of P. harei (34.44%), P. grossensis (33.90%), P. senegalensis (32.20%) and P. indolicus (32.29%) P. obesi has more predicted ORFs than P. lacrimalis, (1,718 vs 1,586) but fewer than P. harei, P. senegalensis, P. timonensis, P. grossensis and P. indolicus (1,725, 1744, 1922, 2041 and 2262, respectively). In addition, P. obesi shared 931, 957, 967, 1019, 1055, 1077 orthologous genes with P. indolicus, P. timonensis, P. lacrimalis, P. senegalensis, P. harei and P. grossensis, respectively. The average nucleotide sequence identity ranged from 69,14% to 87,28% among Peptoniphilus species, and from 71,04 to 71.80% between P. obesi and other species, thus confirming its new species status. Table 6 summarizes the numbers of orthologous genes and the average percentage of nucleotide sequence identity between the different genomes studied.
Conclusion
On the basis of phenotypic (Table 2), phylogenetic and genomic analyses (Table 6), we formally propose the creation of Peptoniphilus obesi sp. nov. that contains the strain ph1T. This strain has been found in Marseille, France.
