  • Phylogenomic Networks Reveal Limited Phylogenetic Range of Lateral Gene Transfer by Transduction
    The ISME Journal (2017) 11, 543–554 OPEN © 2017 International Society for Microbial Ecology All rights reserved 1751-7362/17 www.nature.com/ismej ORIGINAL ARTICLE Phylogenomic networks reveal limited phylogenetic range of lateral gene transfer by transduction Ovidiu Popa1, Giddy Landan and Tal Dagan Institute of General Microbiology, Christian-Albrechts University of Kiel, Kiel, Germany Bacteriophages are recognized DNA vectors and transduction is considered as a common mechanism of lateral gene transfer (LGT) during microbial evolution. Anecdotal events of phage- mediated gene transfer were studied extensively, however, a coherent evolutionary viewpoint of LGT by transduction, its extent and characteristics, is still lacking. Here we report a large-scale evolutionary reconstruction of transduction events in 3982 genomes. We inferred 17 158 recent transduction events linking donors, phages and recipients into a phylogenomic transduction network view. We find that LGT by transduction is mostly restricted to closely related donors and recipients. Furthermore, a substantial number of the transduction events (9%) are best described as gene duplications that are mediated by mobile DNA vectors. We propose to distinguish this type of paralogy by the term autology. A comparison of donor and recipient genomes revealed that genome similarity is a superior predictor of species connectivity in the network in comparison to common habitat. This indicates that genetic similarity, rather than ecological opportunity, is a driver of successful transduction during microbial evolution. A striking difference in the connectivity pattern of donors and recipients shows that while lysogenic interactions are highly species-specific, the host range for lytic phage infections can be much wider, serving to connect dense clusters of closely related species.

  • Management of Animal Botulism Outbreaks: from Clinical Suspicion to Practical Countermeasures to Prevent Or Minimize Outbreaks

DOI: 10.1089/bsp.2012.0089 Management of Animal Botulism Outbreaks: From Clinical Suspicion to Practical Countermeasures to Prevent or Minimize Outbreaks Fabrizio Anniballi, Alfonsina Fiore, Charlotta Lo¨fstro¨m, Hanna Skarin, Bruna Auricchio, Ce´dric Woudstra, Luca Bano, Bo Segerman, Miriam Koene, Viveca Ba˚verud, Trine Hansen, Patrick Fach, Annica Tevell A˚berg, Mikael Hedeland, Eva Olsson Engvall, and Dario De Medici Botulism is a severe neuroparalytic disease that affects humans, all warm-blooded animals, and some fishes. The disease is caused by exposure to toxins produced by Clostridium botulinum and other botulinum toxin–producing clostridia. Botulism in animals represents a severe environmental and economic concern because of its high mortality rate. Moreover, meat or other products from affected animals entering the food chain may result in a publichealthproblem.Tothisend,earlydiagnosisiscrucialto define and apply appropriate veterinary public health measures. Clinical diagnosis is based on clinical findings eliminating other causes of neuromuscular disorders and on the absence of internal lesions observed during postmortem examination. Since clinical signs alone are often insufficient to make a definitive diagnosis, laboratory confirmation is required. Botulinum antitoxin administration and supportive therapies are used to treat sick animals. Once the diagnosis has been made, euthanasia is frequently advisable. Vaccine administration is subject to health authorities’ permission, and it is restricted to a small number of animal species. Several measures can be adopted to prevent or minimize outbreaks. In this article we outline all phases of management of animal botulism outbreaks occurring in wet wild birds, poultry, cattle, horses, and fur farm animals.

  • Lysogeny and Prophage Induction in Coastal and Offshore Bacterial Communities

Weinbauerl, Curtis A. Suttle2.* 'National Research Centre for Biotechnology, Division of Microbiology, Mascheroder Weg 1. D-38124 Braunschweig, Germany 'Departments of Earth and Ocean Sciences (Oceanography). Botany and Microbiology & Immunology, University of British Columbia, 6270 University Boulevard, Vancouver, British Columbia V6T 124, Canada ABSTRACT: The influence of solar radiation and hydrogen peroxide on induction of lysogens, and the resulting effect on bacteriophage production and bacterial mortality was investigated for coastal and oceanic manne bacterial conlmunities at 6 stations in the western Gulf of Mexico. The percentage of lysogenic cells induced by mitomycin C was also determined. Solar radiation and hydrogen peroxide were not as effective as mitomycin C at inducing phage production. The burst size of cells induced by mitomycin C was estimated by transmission electron microscopy, assuming that cells completely filled with viral particles were on the verge of bursting. The smallest estimates of burst size were associated with oligotrophic oceanic stations and ranged from 15 to 28 viruses produced per lyhc event, whde in more productive coastal waters the estimated burst sizes ranged from 33 to 64. The mitomycin C- induced phage production and burst size were used to estimate the number of lysogenic bacterial cells. On average, the percentage of inducible lysogens was higher at offshore (1.5 to 11.4 %) than at coastal (0.8 to 2.2 %) stations. However, with the exception of 1 station, less than 5 % of the bacteria could be induced to produce phage, suggesting that lysogens only occasionally comprised a significant compo- nent of these bacterial communities.
