Huanglongbing Alters the Structure and Functional Diversity of Microbial Communities Associated with Citrus Rhizosphere The ISME Journal (2011), 1–21 & 2011 International Society for Microbial Ecology All rights reserved 1751-7362/11 www.nature.com/ismej ORIGINAL ARTICLE Huanglongbing alters the structure and functional diversity of microbial communities associated with citrus rhizosphere Pankaj Trivedi1, Zhili He2,3, Joy D Van Nostrand2,3, Gene Albrigo4, Jizhong Zhou2,3 and Nian Wang1 1Citrus Research and Education Center, Department of Microbiology and Cell Science, University of Florida, Lake Alfred, FL, USA; 2Department of Botany and Microbiology, Institute for Environmental Genomics, University of Oklahoma, Norman, OK, USA; 3Earth Sciences Division, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Berkeley, CA, USA and 4Citrus Research and Education Center, Department of Horticultural Science, University of Florida, Lake Alfred, FL, USA The diversity and stability of bacterial communities present in the rhizosphere heavily influence soil and plant quality and ecosystem sustainability. The goal of this study is to understand how ‘Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus’ (known to cause Huanglongbing, HLB) influences the structure and functional potential of microbial communities associated with the citrus rhizosphere. Clone library sequencing and taxon/group-specific quantitative real-time PCR results showed that ‘Ca. L. asiaticus’ infection restructured the native microbial community associated with citrus rhizosphere. Within the bacterial community, phylum Proteobacteria with various genera typically known as successful rhizosphere colonizers were significantly greater in clone libraries from healthy samples, whereas phylum Acidobacteria, Actinobacteria and Firmicutes, typically more dominant in the bulk soil were higher in ‘Ca. L. asiaticus’-infected samples. A comprehensive functional microarray GeoChip 3.0 was used to determine the effects of ‘Ca. L. asiaticus’ infection on the functional diversity of rhizosphere microbial communities. GeoChip analysis showed that HLB disease has significant effects on various functional guilds of bacteria. Many genes involved in key ecological processes such as nitrogen cycling, carbon fixation, phosphorus utilization, metal homeostasis and resistance were significantly greater in healthy than in the ‘Ca. L. asiaticus’-infected citrus rhizosphere. Our results showed that the microbial community of the ‘Ca. L. asiaticus’-infected citrus rhizosphere has shifted away from using more easily degraded sources of carbon to the more recalcitrant forms. Overall, our study provides evidence that the change in plant physiology mediated by ‘Ca. L. asiaticus’ infection could elicit shifts in the composition and functional potential of rhizosphere microbial communities. In the long term, these fluctuations might have important implications for the productivity and sustainability of citrus- producing agro-ecosystems.

Primary soil characteristics were determined using standard techniques, such as dichromate oxidation (organic matter content), the Kjeldahl method (nitrogen content), the Olsen method (phosphorus content) and a Bernard calcimeter (carbonate content). The Bouyoucos Densimetry method was used to establish textural data. Exchangeable cations (Ca, Mg, K and 10 Na) extracted with 1 M NH 4Cl and exchangeable aluminium extracted with 1 M KCl were determined using atomic absorption/emission spectrophotometry with an AA200 PerkinElmer analyser. The effective cation exchange capacity (ECEC) was calculated as the sum of the values of the last two measurements (sum of the exchangeable cations and the exchangeable Al). Analyses were performed immediately after sampling. 15 Hydrocarbon analysis Extraction (5 g of sample N and Nbs) was performed with dichloromethane:acetone (1:1) using a Soxtherm extraction apparatus (Gerhardt GmbH & Co.

Bacteria belonging to Pseudomonas rRNA group I1 are separated clearly from members of the genus Pseudomonas sensu stricto (Pseudomonasfluorescens rRNA group) on the basis of plant association characteristics, chemotaxonomic characteristics, DNA-DNA hybridization data, rRNA-DNA hy- bridization data, and the sequences of 5s and 16s rRNAs. The transfer of Pseudomonas cepacia, Pseudomonas mallei, Pseudomonas pseudomallei, Pseudomonas caryophylli, Pseudomonas gladioli, Pseudomonas pickettii, and Pseudomonas solanacearum to the new genus Burkholderia is supported; we also propose that Pseudomonas plantarii and Pseudomonas glumae should be transferred to the genus Burkholderia.

  • Developing a Genetic Manipulation System for the Antarctic Archaeon, Halorubrum Lacusprofundi: Investigating Acetamidase Gene Function

Liao1, T. J. Williams1, J. C. Walsh2,3, M. Ji1, A. Poljak4, P. M. G. Curmi2, I. G. Duggin3 & R. Cavicchioli1 No systems have been reported for genetic manipulation of cold-adapted Archaea. Halorubrum lacusprofundi is an important member of Deep Lake, Antarctica (~10% of the population), and is amendable to laboratory cultivation. Here we report the development of a shuttle-vector and targeted gene-knockout system for this species. To investigate the function of acetamidase/formamidase genes, a class of genes not experimentally studied in Archaea, the acetamidase gene, amd3, was disrupted. The wild-type grew on acetamide as a sole source of carbon and nitrogen, but the mutant did not. Acetamidase/formamidase genes were found to form three distinct clades within a broad distribution of Archaea and Bacteria. Genes were present within lineages characterized by aerobic growth in low nutrient environments (e.g. haloarchaea, Starkeya) but absent from lineages containing anaerobes or facultative anaerobes (e.g. methanogens, Epsilonproteobacteria) or parasites of animals and plants (e.g. Chlamydiae). While acetamide is not a well characterized natural substrate, the build-up of plastic pollutants in the environment provides a potential source of introduced acetamide. In view of the extent and pattern of distribution of acetamidase/formamidase sequences within Archaea and Bacteria, we speculate that acetamide from plastics may promote the selection of amd/fmd genes in an increasing number of environmental microorganisms.

ME121 and non-motile Kaistia sp. 32K, isolated from the same soil sample, displayed accelerated motility of strain ME121 due to an extracellular polysaccharide (EPS) produced by strain 32K. Since EPS is a major component of biofilms, we aimed to investigate the biofilm formation in cocultures of the two strains. The extent of biofilm formation was measured by a microtiter dish assay with the dye crystal violet. A significant increase in the amount of biofilm was observed in the coculture of the two strains, as compared to that of the monocultures, which could be due to a metabolite produced by strain 32K. However, in the coculture with strain 32K, using Escherichia coli or Pseudomonas aeruginosa, there was no difference in the amount of biofilm formation as compared with the monoculture. Elevated biofilm formation was also observed in the coculture of strain ME121 with Kaistia adipata, which was isolated from a different soil sample.

    REVIEWS Melioidosis: insights into the pathogenicity of Burkholderia pseudomallei W. Joost Wiersinga*, Tom van der Poll*, Nicholas J. White‡§, Nicholas P. Day‡§ and Sharon J. Peacock‡§ Abstract | Burkholderia pseudomallei is a potential bioterror agent and the causative agent of melioidosis, a severe disease that is endemic in areas of Southeast Asia and Northern Australia. Infection is often associated with bacterial dissemination to distant sites, and there are many possible disease manifestations, with melioidosis septic shock being the most severe. Eradication of the organism following infection is difficult, with a slow fever-clearance time, the need for prolonged antibiotic therapy and a high rate of relapse if therapy is not completed. Mortality from melioidosis septic shock remains high despite appropriate antimicrobial therapy. Prevention of disease and a reduction in mortality and the rate of relapse are priority areas for future research efforts. Studying how the disease is acquired and the host–pathogen interactions involved will underpin these efforts; this review presents an overview of current knowledge in these areas, highlighting key topics for evaluation. Melioidosis is a serious disease caused by the aerobic, rifamycins, colistin and aminoglycosides), but is usually Gram-negative soil-dwelling bacillus Burkholderia pseu- susceptible to amoxicillin-clavulanate, chloramphenicol, domallei and is most common in Southeast Asia and doxycycline, trimethoprim-sulphamethoxazole, ureido- Northern Australia. Melioidosis is responsible for 20% of penicillins, ceftazidime and carbapenems2,4. Treatment all community-acquired septicaemias and 40% of sepsis- is required for 20 weeks and is divided into intravenous related mortality in northeast Thailand. Reported cases are and oral phases2,4. Initial intravenous therapy is given likely to represent ‘the tip of the iceberg’1,2, as confirmation for 10–14 days; ceftazidime or a carbapenem are the of disease depends on bacterial isolation, a technique that drugs of choice.
