Acidobacteria is a phylum of bacteria. Its members are physiologically diverse and ubiquitous, especially in soils, but are under-represented in culture.[2][3][4]
Description
Members of this phylum are physiologically diverse, and can be found in a variety of environments including soil, decomposing wood,[5] hot springs, oceans, caves, and metal-contaminated soils.[6] The members of this phylum are particularly abundant in soil habitats representing up to 52% of the total bacterial community.[7] Environmental factors such as pH and nutrients have been seen to drive Acidobacteria dynamics.[8][9][10] Many Acidobacteria are acidophilic, including the first described member of the phylum, Acidobacterium capsulatum.[11]
Other notable species are Holophaga foetida,[12] Geothrix fermentans,[13] Acanthopleuribacter pedis[14] and Bryobacter aggregatus.[15] Since they have only recently been discovered and the large majority have not been cultured, the ecology and metabolism of these bacteria is not well understood.[3] However, these bacteria may be an important contributor to ecosystems, since they are particularly abundant within soils.[16] Members of subdivisions 1, 4, and 6 are found to be particularly abundant in soils.[17]
As well as their natural soil habitat, unclassified subdivision 2 Acidobacteria have also been identified as a contaminant of DNA extraction kit reagents, which may lead to their erroneous appearance in microbiota or metagenomic datasets.[18]
Members of subdivision 1 have been found to dominate in low pH conditions.[19][8] Additionally, Acidobacteria from acid mine drainage have been found to be more adapted to acidic pH conditions (pH 2-3) compared to Acidobacteria from soils,[20] potentially due to cell specialization and enzyme stability.[8]
The G+C content of Acidobacteria genomes are consistent within their subdivisions - above 60% for group V fragments and roughly 10% lower for group III fragments.[3]
The majority of Acidobacteria are considered aerobes.[21][22] There are some Acidobacteria that are considered anaerobes within subdivision 8[13] and subdivision 23.[23] It has been found that some strains of Acidobacteria originating from soils have the genomic potential to respire oxygen at atmospheric and sub-atmospheric concentrations.[22]
Members of the Acidobacteria phylum have been considered oligotrophic bacteria due to high abundances in low organic carbon environments.[8] However, the variation in this phylum may indicate that they may not have the same ecological strategy.[8]
History
The first species, Acidobacterium capsulatum, of this phylum was discovered in 1991.[24] However, Acidobacteria were not recognized as a novel division until 1997,[11] and were not recognized as a phylum until 2012.[25] First genome was sequenced in 2007.[26]
Metabolism
Carbon
Some members of subdivision 1 are able to use D-glucose, D-xylose, and lactose as carbon sources,[8] but are unable to use fucose or sorbose.[27] Members of subdivision 1 also contain enzymes such as galactosidases used in the breakdown of sugars.[8] Members of subdivision 4 have been found to use chitin as a carbon source.[28][29][8]
Nitrogen
There has been no clear evidence that Acidobacteria are involved in nitrogen-cycle processes such as nitrification, denitrification, or nitrogen fixation.[8] However, Geothrix fermantans was shown to be able to reduce nitrate and contained the norB gene.[8] The NorB gene was also identified in Koribacter verstailis and Solibacter usitatus.[30][8] In addition, the presence of the nirA gene has been observed in members of subdivision 1.[8] Additionally, to date, all genomes have been described to directly uptake ammonium via ammonium channel transporter family genes.[22][8] Acidobacteria can use both inorganic and organic nitrogen as their nitrogen sources.
Taxonomy
The currently accepted taxonomy is based on the List of Prokaryotic names with Standing in Nomenclature (LSPN)[31] and the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI).[32]
