Abstract
A Gram-staining-positive, non-motile, coccus or short-rod-shaped bacterium, designated H1T, was isolated from a humus soil sample in the Detaille Island of Antarctica. The 16S rRNA gene sequence result indicated that strain H1T shared the highest 16S rRNA gene sequence identity with the type strain of Deinococcus alpinitundrae (96.2%). Growth of strain H1T occurred at 4–25 °C, pH 6.0–8.0 and in the presence of 0–1.0% NaCl (w/v). The respiratory quinone was MK-8. The major fatty acids were C16:0, C17:0 cyclo and summed feature 3 (C16:1 ω7c/C16:1 ω6c). The polar lipids were aminoglycophospholipid, aminophospholipid, glycolipid and glycophospholipid. The cell wall peptidoglycan type was A3β. The genomic DNA G + C content was 61.3 mol%. The average nucleotide identity (ANI) between strain H1T and the closely related Deinococcus members was below the cut-off level (95–96%) for species identification. Based on the above results, strain H1T represents a novel species of the genus Deinococcus, for which the name Deinococcus detaillensis sp. nov. is proposed. Type strain is H1T (= CGMCC 1.13938T = JCM 33291T).

Introduction
The genus Deinococcus was first described by Brooks and Murray (1981). They have been isolated from different environments, such as soil (Dong et al. 2015; Joo et al. 2016; Kim et al. 2017), water (Im et al. 2008; Asker et al. 2009), desert (de Groot et al. 2005), hot spring (Ferreira et al. 1997), Antarctic environments (Hirsch et al. 2004), marine flatworm (Lin et al. 2017), car air-conditioning system (Kim et al. 2018), plants (Lai et al. 2006; Li et al. 2018) and even from termite gut (Chen et al. 2012). At the time of writing, the genus includes 78 species (Parte 2018). Members of the genus Deinococcus are aerobic, non-spore-forming, non-motile, coccoid or rod-shaped, pink or red in colour (Brooks and Murray 1981; Dong et al. 2015; Joo et al. 2016; Kim et al. 2017). Most of them have shown remarkable capabilities to resist gamma and UV radiations (Brooks and Murray 1981; de Groot et al. 2005; Hirsch et al. 2004; Zhang et al. 2007). During a study to evaluate the diversity of gamma resistance bacteria, strain designated H1T, was isolated from a humus soil sample in the Detaille Island of Antarctica. The 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis showed that the strain H1T shared low sequence identity with the members of the genus Deinococcus (96.2%) and as a result, we sought to establish its taxonomic position.
Materials and methods
Strain H1T isolation and preservation
Strain H1T was isolated from the humus soil of Detaille Island of Antarctica (66.8667° S, 66.7833° W) by the serial dilution technique. The soil sample was irradiated with 8 kGy of gamma radiation (by a 60Co gamma irradiator) at a dose rate of 2.3831 Gy min−1 at room temperature. The sample was serially diluted and an aliquot was spread on 1/5 trypticase soy agar (TSA) medium (Difco). The plates were incubated at 15 °C for 2 weeks. Pink-pigmented Colonies were picked and re-streaked on the same medium until pure colonies were obtained. Strain H1T was routinely cultivated on 1/5 TSA medium at 15 °C and also stored in glycerol suspensions (30%, v/v) at – 80 °C. Besides, it was preserved in lyophilized form in skimmed milk at room temperature. Deinococcus alpinitundrae LMG 24283T and Deinococcus radiodurans DSM 20539T were obtained from Belgian Co-ordinated Collections of Micro-organisms (BCCM, Belgium) and Deutsche Sammlung von Mikroorganismen und Zellkulturen (DSMZ, Germany), respectively, and were used as a reference strains for comparative studies.
Morphological, physiological and biochemical analysis
Cell morphology and flagella was observed by a light microscope (Olympus, CX22LED) and scanning electron microscope (SEM, Quanta 200; FEI) after 7 days of incubation at 15 °C on 1/5 TSA medium. Gram-staining was performed using the Gram-stain Set S kit (BD Difco) and the Ryunon-staining KOH method (Powers 1995). Growth on tryptone glucose yeast extract (TGY), 1/5 TSA, 1/2 TSA, 1/10 TSA and Reasoner’s 2A agar (R2A) was evaluated. Growth at different temperatures (4, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40 and 50 °C) was measured in 1/5 TSA broth after 7 days of incubation. Salt-tolerance was tested at different concentrations of NaCl (0, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 4 and 6%, w/v) using 1/5 TSA broth at 15 °C incubated for 7 days. The pH range for growth (pH 4.0–10.0 at intervals of 1.0 pH unit) was determined in 1/5 TSA broth adjusted with the buffer systems as described by Narsing Rao et al. (2020). Catalase activity was determined by assessing the production of bubbles on the addition of a drop of 3% (v/v) H2O2 to the bacterial culture. Oxidase activity was determined based on the oxidation of tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine (Kovacs 1956).
Milk coagulation and peptonisation and hydrolysis of starch and Tweens (20, 40, 60 and 80) were determined as described by Gonzalez et al. (1978). Other tests were performed using the API ZYM (BioMerieux) and GEN III Micro Plate (Biolog) assays according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
16S rRNA gene amplification and phylogenetic analysis
Strain H1T genomic DNA extraction and PCR amplification of the 16S rRNA gene sequence was performed as described by Narsing Rao et al. (2020). The obtained 16S rRNA gene sequence was compared with available sequences of cultured species at EZBioCloud server (Yoon et al. 2017). Phylogenetic trees were constructed by three tree-making algorithms, neighbor-joining (Saitou and Nei 1987), maximum-likelihood (Felsenstein 1981), and maximum-parsimony (Fitch 1971), using MEGA version 7.0 (Kumar et al. 2016). Multiple sequences alignments were performed using the CLUSTAL_X (Thompson et al. 1997). Evolutionary distance matrices were calculated according to Kimura’s two-parameter model (Kimura 1980) with 1000 bootstrap replications (Felsenstein 1985).
Chemotaxonomic characterization
Biomass for chemotaxonomic studies were harvested from 1/5 TSA broth incubated at 15 °C for 7 days. Cell-wall peptidoglycan was prepared as described by Komagata and Suzuki (1987) and analyzed by using ultra-performance liquid chromatography. Polar lipids were extracted according to the methods described by Minnikin et al. (1979) and analyzed by the two-dimensional thin-layer chromatography (TLC) (Collins and Jones 1980). The fatty acids were saponified, methylated, extracted and analyzed using the standard Microbial Identification system (Sherlock, version 6.2B; MIDI database: TSBA6) (Sasser 1990). Quinones were extracted and purified as described by Collins et al. (1977) and analyzed by HPLC (Kroppenstedt 1982).
Genome sequencing and comparison
The genome sequencing of strain H1T and D. alpinitundrae LMG 24283T was performed using a paired-end sequencing method with a Hiseq 2000 platform (Illumina). Reads of each data set were filtered, and high-quality reads were assembled using SOAPdenovo2 (Luo et al. 2012) and SPAdes (Bankevich et al. 2012). Genome quality was estimated by CheckM (Parks et al. 2015). Gene prediction was performed using Glimmer (Delcher et al. 1999). The predicted coding sequences translated and searched against COG (Tatusov et al. 2003) and KEGG (Moriya et al. 2007) databases. The rRNAs and tRNAs were predicted using RNAmmer (Lagesen et al. 2007) and tRNAscan-SE, respectively (Lowe et al. 1997). Pan-genome analysis was carried out via the Anvi’o tool (Eren et al. 2015) using NCBI blast and MCL flag (Buchfink et al. 2015, van Dongen et al. 2012). The average nucleotide identity (ANIb) value was determined using pyani (Pritchard et al. 2016).
Detection of gamma and UV radiation tolerance
To detect the gamma and UV radiation tolerance limit of the strain H1T, it was cultured to exponential growth phase in 1/5 TSA broth. The culture was centrifuged at 12,000 rpm for 10 min at 4 °C. The biomass was collected, washed and re-suspended in saline solution (0.9% NaCl, w/v). The biomass concentration was adjusted to 1 × 107–108 CFU ml−1. The gamma radiation doses were set from 0 to 15.0 kGy with a subsequent increase of 2.5 kGy in each step. Treated samples were plated onto 1/5 TSA agar plates and incubated at 15 °C for one week. Similarly, strain H1T after treatment as above was exposed to a 254 nm UV light for the desired dose and incubated at 15 °C for a week. D. radiodurans DSM 20539T and E. coli DH5α were tested simultaneously as positive and negative controls. The final survival results were compared with unirradiated cultures.
Results and discussion
Morphological, physiological and biochemical analysis
Strain H1T was coccus or short-rod-shape (0.6–0.7 × 1.1–1.4 µm) and non-flagellated (Supplementary Fig. S1). Strain H1T growth on R2A was negative but the growth of D. alpinitundrae LMG 24283T was positive. Strain H1T was positive for the hydrolysis of Tween 40 but D. alpinitundrae LMG 24283T was negative. Strain H1T was positive for lipase (C14) and esterase lipase (C8) but negative for alkaline phosphatase whereas D. alpinitundrae LMG 24283T was negative for lipase (C14) and esterase lipase (C8) but positive for alkaline phosphatase. Detailed differentiating features between strain H1T and reference strains are shown in Table 1.
16S rRNA gene amplification and phylogenetic analysis
Strain H1T shared the highest 16S rRNA gene sequence identity with the type strain of D. alpinitundrae (96.2%) and less than 95% sequence identity with the other members of the genus Deinococcus. In ML tree (Fig. 1), strain H1T clade with the members of the genus Deinococcus. The tree was further found to be stable when reconstructed using NJ (Supplementary Fig. S2) and MP (Supplementary Fig. S3) methods.
Chemotaxonomic characteristics
The cell-wall peptidoglycan of strainH1T contained lysine, glycine, alanine, aspartic and ornithine, and according to the classification by Schleifer and Kandler (1972) the peptidoglycan type was A3β. The polar lipids of strain H1T were aminoglycophospholipid (AGPL), aminophospholipid (APL), glycolipid (GL) and glycophospholipid (GPL) (Supplementary Fig. S4). The polar lipids of D. alpinitundrae were GL, APL, APGL and GPL (Calleganet al. 2008). The major cellular fatty acids of strain H1T were summed feature 3 (composed of C16:1 ω7c / C16:1 ω6c, 58.5%), C16:0 (20%) and C17:0 cyclo (11.9%). The major fatty acids of strain H1T were consistent with D. alpinitundrae LMG 24283T but their proportions varied (Table S1). The menaquinone of strain H1T was MK-8 which was similar to that of the other members of the genus Deinococcus (Dong et al. 2015; Joo et al. 2016; Calleganet al. 2008).
Genome sequencing and comparison
Assembling of shotgun reads of strain H1T generated 93 contigs, giving a genome size of 4,007,733 bp. Strain H1T genome was 97.8% complete and had 1.6% contamination suggesting a good quality genome (Parks et al. 2015). Two rRNAs and 51 tRNAs were predicted. A total of 3883 genes were predicted of which 3491 and 3232 genes could be assigned to the COG and KEGG databases, respectively. The genomic DNA G + C content of strain H1T was 61.3%. Fig. S5 shows the pangenome analysis result along with total genome length, number of the gene cluster, number of the singleton gene cluster, genomic DNA G + C content, ANI value information, etc. The total number of the gene cluster and singleton gene clusters were higher in strain H1T when compared with other Deinococcus members (Supplementary Fig. S5). The ANIb value between strain H1T and D. alpinitundrae LMG 24283T was 79.3% while with other Deinococcus members the ANIb value was below 79.0% (Table. 2, Supplementary Fig. S5). These values were below the cut-off level (95–96%) recommended as the ANI criterion for interspecies identity (Richter and Rosselló-Móra 2009; Goris et al. 2007).
Gamma and UV radiation resistance
The survival rate of strain H1T on exposure to increasing doses of gamma and UV radiation was analyzed in comparison with that of D. radiodurans DSM 20539T and E. coli DH5α. No growth was observed for E. coli DH5α under the gamma radiation dose of 5.0 kGy. However, strain H1T and D. radiodurans DSM 20539T grew well under the same condition. At a dose of 15.0 kGy, a few colonies of strain H1T and D. radiodurans DSM 20539T were observed (Supplementary Fig. S6a). Strain H1T exhibited a D10 value of 4.8 kGy, similar to the closely related species D. alpinitundtrae LMG 24283T which showed a D10 value of 4.8 kGy (Callegan et al. 2008). The lethal dose of UV radiation for E. coli DH5α was 65 J m−2, whereas strain H1T could grow at the highest dose of 750 J m−2 (Supplementary Fig. S6b).
Taxonomic conclusion
Based on phenotypic, phylogenetic, chemotaxonomic and genome analysis strain H1T represents a novel species of the genus Deinococcus, for which the name Deinococcus detaillensis sp. nov. is proposed.
