shown increasing support for lower-level phylogenetic clusters (e.g., classes and below), they have also shown the susceptibility of eubacterial phylogeny to biases such as horizontal gene transfer (HGT) (20, 21).
In recent years, three major approaches have been used for studying prokaryote phylogeny with data from complete genomes: (i) combining gene sequences in a single analysis of multiple genes (e.g., 7, 9, 10), (ii) combining trees from individual gene analyses into a single “supertree” (e.g., 22, 23), and (iii) using the presence or absence

While the results of these different approaches have not agreed on many details of relationships, there have been some points of agreement, such as support for the monophyly of all major classes and some phyla (e.g., Proteobacteria and Firmicu tes). 7ese Andings, although criticized by some (e.g., 24, 25),

nal for prokaryotes when using carefully selected genes (e.g., vertically inherited) and appropriate methodologies (e.g., genome-scale data sets).

7e Su perkingdom Eu bacteria (also called “Bacteria,” Fig. 1) is subdivided into 25 recognized phyla1(), although other classiAcations have been proposed (2) and putative lineages await taxonomic assignment (e.g., 3, 4). In contrast to most eukaryotic groups, eubacterial phylogeny has been di1cult to resolve at the highest level (i.e., phyla and class relationships) despite the availability of many complete genome sequences. 7e small subu nit (SSU) ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene has been widely used to study prokaryote phylogeny and Arst revealed the distinction of eubacteria from archaebacteria (Archaea) (5, 6). However, becau se of its limited length and the large genetic distances among prokaryote species, it is also subject to biases such as long-branch attraction, base composition diBerences, and a generally poor resolving power. 7ese issues mostly have been addressed in more recent years by using genome-scale data sets (e.g., multiple genes, gene content, and insertion–deletion events) and increased taxonomic sampling (7–19, 88). While these studies have

For example, cyanobacteria and low GC gram positives (Firmicutes) have been subunits (30), genome trees (31), and gene content analysis (18).

The diversity of the gut bacterial community in early, phloem-feeding larvae is significantly higher than in later, wood-feeding larvae. Many of these associates were assigned into a few taxonomic groups, of which Enterobacteriaceae was the most abundant order. The predominant bacterial genus varied during the five instars of larval development.Erwinia was the most abundant genus in the first and fifth instars,Enterobacter was predominant in the third and fourth instars, and the predominant genus in the second instars was in the Enterobacteriaceae (genus unclassified). Actinobacteria were reported in association with M. alternatus for the first time in this study. Cellulomonadaceae (Actinobacteria) was the second most abundant family in the first instar larvae (10.6%). These data contribute to our understanding of the relationships among gut bacteria and M.

Over the last decade, numerous studies based on 16S rRNA gene amplicon libraries have largely described both the taxonomy and structure of the prokaryotic communities associated with termite guts. Host diet and microenvironmental conditions have emerged as the main factors structuring the microbial assemblages in the different gut compartments. Additionally, these molecular inventories have revealed the existence of termite-specific clusters that indicate coevolutionary processes in numerous prokaryotic lineages. However, for lack of representative isolates, the functional role of most lineages remains unclear. We reconstructed 589 metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) from the different Submitted 29 August 2019 gut compartments of eight higher termite species that encompass 17 prokaryotic

Scientific deep drilling of the Koyna pilot borehole into the continental crust up to a depth of 3000 m below the surface at the Deccan Traps, India, provided a unique opportunity to explore microbial life within the deep granitic bedrock of the Archaean Eon. Microbial communities of the returned drilling fluid (fluid re- turned to the mud tank from the underground during the drilling operation; designated here as DF) sampled during the drilling operation of the Koyna pilot borehole at a depth range of 1681–2908 metres below the surface (m b.s.) were explored to gain a glimpse of the deep biosphere underneath the continental crust. Change of pH 2− to alkalinity, reduced abundance of Si and Al, but enrichment of Fe, Ca and SO4 in the samples from deeper horizons suggested a gradual infusion of elements or ions from the crystalline bedrock, leading to an observed geochemical shift in the DF.

Abstract Background: The timescale of prokaryote evolution has been difficult to reconstruct because of a limited fossil record and complexities associated with molecular clocks and deep divergences. However, the relatively large number of genome sequences currently available has provided a better opportunity to control for potential biases such as horizontal gene transfer and rate differences among lineages. We assembled a data set of sequences from 32 proteins (~7600 amino acids) common to 72 species and estimated phylogenetic relationships and divergence times with a local clock method. Results: Our phylogenetic results support most of the currently recognized higher-level groupings of prokaryotes.

  • Genes Preferring Non-AUG Start Codons in Bacteria Abstract

    Genes Preferring Non-AUG Start Codons in Bacteria Abstract

    Genes Preferring Non-AUG Start Codons in Bacteria 1,2 2,3,4 Anne Gvozdjak ​ and Manoj P. Samanta ​ ​ 1. Bellevue High School, 10416 SE Wolverine Way, Bellevue, WA 98004 2. Coding for Life Science, Redmond, WA 98053 3. Systemix Institute, Redmond, WA 98053 4. [email protected] Abstract Here we investigate translational regulation in bacteria by analyzing the distribution of start codons in fully assembled genomes. We report 36 genes (infC, rpoC, rnpA, etc.) showing a preference for non-AUG start codons in evolutionarily diverse phyla (“non-AUG genes”). Most of the non-AUG genes are functionally associated with translation, transcription or replication. In E. ​ coli, the percentage of essential genes among these 36 is significantly higher than among all ​ genes. Furthermore, the functional distribution of these genes suggests that non-AUG start codons may be used to reduce gene expression during starvation conditions, possibly through translational autoregulation or IF3-mediated regulation. Introduction Understanding the regulation of gene expression at the transcriptional and translational levels is a key step in deciphering the information contained by genomes. Whereas inexpensive, high-throughput technologies (ChIP-seq, RNAseq) are helping in extensive experimental investigation of transcriptional regulation [1,2], the measurement of translational regulation using ​ ​ high-throughput mass spectroscopy [3] is less widely adopted. Bioinformatics provides another ​ avenue to leverage the rapidly falling cost of DNA sequencing to explore translational regulation. Prior to 2000, computational researchers identified a number of relevant patterns through the comparative analysis of gene sequences [4,5] . With the availability of ~250,000 ​ prokaryotic genomes, thousands of eukaryotic genomes, and additional metagenomic sequences, those patterns can now be studied at a significantly larger scale, and new patterns may also be identified.

    Jag et al. Standards in Genomic Sciences (2017) 12:30 DOI 10.1186/s40793-017-0244-4 SHORT GENOME REPORT Open Access Genome sequencing and description of Oerskovia enterophila VJag, an agar- and cellulose-degrading bacterium Vanessa Jag1*† , Anja Poehlein2†, Frank R. Bengelsdorf1, Rolf Daniel2 and Peter Dürre1 Abstract A nonmotile, Gram-positive bacterium that shows an elongated and branching cell shape was isolated from soil samples from the botanical garden of Ulm University, Ulm, Germany. Here, the isolation procedure, identification, genome sequencing and metabolic features of the strain are described. Phylogenetic analysis allowed to identify the isolated strain as Oerskovia enterophila. The genus Oerskovia belongs to the family Cellulomonadaceae within the order Actinomycetales. The length of cells of O. enterophila ranges from 1 μmto15μm, depending on the growth phase. In the exponential growth phase, cells show an elongated and branching shape, whereas cells break up to round or coccoid elements in the stationary growth phase. The 4,535,074 bp long genome consists of 85 contigs with 3918 protein-coding genes and 57 RNA genes. The isolated strain was shown to degrade numerous complex carbon sources such as cellulose, chitin, and starch, which can be found ubiquitously in nature. Moreover, analysis of the genomic sequence revealed the genetic potential to degrade these compounds. Keywords: Oerskovia, Cellulomonadaceae, Cellulose degradation, Soil bacteria, Phylogenetic analysis Introduction from 51% to more than 70% [5–7]. Actinobacteria are Oerskovia enterophila was formerly characterized as widely distributed in terrestrial as well as in aquatic Promicromonospora enterophila by Jàger et al. in 1983 habitats [8, 9].

To the driven students who graduated early enough before such ideas came to them, thank you for being considerate. To my advisor Mark Borodovsky, who insisted that a lack of community funding for prokaryotic gene finding does not mean that the problem has actually been solved, thank you for continuously pushing for rigorous science that questions accepted beliefs.
