T1  - Novosphingobium fuchskuhlense sp nov., isolated from the north-east basin of Lake Grosse Fuchskuhle
JF  - International journal of systematic and evolutionary microbiology
N2  - A yellow pigmented, Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium designated FNE08-7(T) was isolated from subsurface water of the north-east basin of the bog lake Grosse Fuchskuhle (Brandenburg, Germany). A first analysis of the nearly full-length 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis including environmental 16S rRNA gene sequences derived from freshwater ecosystems showed that strain FNE08-7(T) is the first cultured representative, to our knowledge, of the freshwater tribe Novo-A2. Further analysis indicates highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities to the type strains of Novosphingobium stygium (98.0%) and Novosphingobium taihuense (97.4%) and between 94.0% and 96.9% sequence similarity to other members of the genus Novosphingobium. Reconstruction of phylogenetic trees showed that strain FNE08-7(T) formed a distinct cluster with the type strains of N. stygium and N. taihuense supported by high bootstrap values. DNA DNA hybridization of strain FNE08-7(T) with N. stygium SMCC B0712(T) and N. taihuense DSM 17507(T) revealed low similarity values of 18.4% (reciprocal: 11.4%) and 23.1% (reciprocal: 54.2%), respectively. The predominant fatty acid of the isolate is C-18:1 omega 7c (56.4%) and two characteristic 2-hydroxy fatty acids, C-14:0 2-OH (16.5%) and C-15:0 2-OH (3.3%) occur. Ubiquinone Q-10 is the major respiratory quinone. The predominant polar lipids are phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylmethylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, sphingoglycolipid, phosphatidylcholine and minor amounts of diphosphatidylglycerol. Spermidine is the predominant polyamine. Characterization by genotypic, chemotaxonomic and phenotypic analysis indicate that strain FNE08-7(T) represents a novel species of the genus Novosphingobium within the Alphaproteobacteria. Therefore, we propose the species Novosphingobium fuchskuhlense sp. nov., with FNE08-7(T) (=DSM 25065(T)=CCM 7978(T)=CCUG 61508(T)) as the type strain.

T1  - Interannual variation in land-use intensity enhances grassland multidiversity
JF  - Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America
N2  - Although temporal heterogeneity is a well-accepted driver of biodiversity, effects of interannual variation in land-use intensity (LUI) have not been addressed yet. Additionally, responses to land use can differ greatly among different organisms; therefore, overall effects of land-use on total local biodiversity are hardly known. To test for effects of LUI (quantified as the combined intensity of fertilization, grazing, and mowing) and interannual variation in LUI (SD in LUI across time), we introduce a unique measure of whole-ecosystem biodiversity, multidiversity. This synthesizes individual diversity measures across up to 49 taxonomic groups of plants, animals, fungi, and bacteria from 150 grasslands. Multidiversity declined with increasing LUI among grasslands, particularly for rarer species and aboveground organisms, whereas common species and belowground groups were less sensitive. However, a high level of interannual variation in LUI increased overall multidiversity at low LUI and was even more beneficial for rarer species because it slowed the rate at which the multidiversity of rare species declined with increasing LUI. In more intensively managed grasslands, the diversity of rarer species was, on average, 18% of the maximum diversity across all grasslands when LUI was static over time but increased to 31% of the maximum when LUI changed maximally over time. In addition to decreasing overall LUI, we suggest varying LUI across years as a complementary strategy to promote biodiversity conservation.
