Journal ArticleDOI

Yoshihiro Fujiwara,Masaru Kawato,Tomoko Yamamoto,Toshiro Yamanaka,Waka Sato-Okoshi,Chikayo Noda,Chikayo Noda,Shinji Tsuchida,Tomoyuki Komai,Sherine Sonia Cubelio,Sherine Sonia Cubelio,Takenori Sasaki,Karen Jacobsen,Kaoru Kubokawa,Katsunori Fujikura,Tadashi Maruyama,Yasuo Furushima,Kenji Okoshi,Hiroshi Miyake,Masayuki Miyazaki,Yuichi Nogi,Akiko Yatabe,Akiko Yatabe,Takashi Okutani +23 more
TL;DR: Benthic communities were similar across all the carcasses studied, although the body sizes of the whales were very different, and the succession of epifaunal communities was relatively rapid and the sulphophilic stage was considerably shorter than that of other known whale falls.
Journal ArticleDOI
Culture-Dependent and -Independent Characterization of Microbial Communities Associated with a Shallow Submarine Hydrothermal System Occurring within a Coral Reef off Taketomi Island, Japan
Hisako Hirayama,Michinari Sunamura,Ken Takai,Takuro Nunoura,Takuro Noguchi,Hanako Oida,Yasuo Furushima,Hiroyuki Yamamoto,Tamotsu Oomori,Koki Horikoshi +9 more
TL;DR: There are unique microbial communities that are sustained by active chemosynthetic primary production rather than by photosynthetic production in a shallow hydrothermal system where sunlight is abundant, according to cultivation-based and molecular techniques.
Journal ArticleDOI
Methylomarinum vadi gen. nov., sp. nov., a methanotroph isolated from two distinct marine environments.
Hisako Hirayama,Hiroyuki Fuse,Mariko Abe,Masayuki Miyazaki,Takamichi Nakamura,Takuro Nunoura,Yasuo Furushima,Hiroyuki Yamamoto,Ken Takai +8 more
TL;DR: Phylogenies based on 16S rRNA gene sequences and deduced partial PmoA sequences, and the physiological and chemotaxonomic characteristics revealed that strains IT-4(T) and T2-1 represent a novel species of a new genus in the family Methylococcaceae, for which the name Methylomarinum vadi gen. nov. is proposed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Isolation and Characterization of a Thermophilic, Obligately Anaerobic and Heterotrophic Marine Chloroflexi Bacterium from a Chloroflexi-dominated Microbial Community Associated with a Japanese Shallow Hydrothermal System, and Proposal for Thermomarinilinea lacunofontalis gen. nov., sp. nov.
Takuro Nunoura,Miho Hirai,Masayuki Miyazaki,Hiromi Kazama,Hiroko Makita,Hisako Hirayama,Yasuo Furushima,Hiroyuki Yamamoto,Hiroyuki Imachi,Ken Takai +9 more
TL;DR: A novel marine thermophilic and heterotrophic Anaerolineae bacterium in the phylum Chloroflexi, strain SW7T, was isolated from an in situ colonization system deployed in the main hydrothermal vent of the Taketomi submarine hot spring field located on the southern part of Yaeyama Archipelago, Japan.
Journal ArticleDOI
Methylomarinovum caldicuralii gen. nov., sp. nov., a moderately thermophilic methanotroph isolated from a shallow submarine hydrothermal system, and proposal of the family Methylothermaceae fam. nov.
Hisako Hirayama,Mariko Abe,Masayuki Miyazaki,Takuro Nunoura,Yasuo Furushima,Hiroyuki Yamamoto,Ken Takai +6 more
TL;DR: A novel methane-oxidizing bacterium, strain IT-9(T), was isolated from a shallow submarine hydrothermal system occurring in a coral reef in Japan and represents a novel species of a new genus, for which the name Methylomarinovum caldicuralii gen. nov. is proposed.
