Leaf-Associated Shifts in Bacterial and Fungal Communities in Response to Chicken Rearing Under Moso Bamboo Forests in Subtropical China

However, little is known regarding the effect of this integration on the bamboo leaf-associated microbiome, which can be very important for disease control and nutrient turnover. In the present study, we compared the leaf-associated bacterial and fungal communities of moso bamboo (Phyllostachys edulis) in a BCF system and an adjacent moso bamboo forest (MBF). The results showed that Cyanobacteria and Ascomycota were the predominant microbial phyla associated with bamboo leaves. Chicken farming under the bamboo forest significantly increased the bacterial and fungal alpha diversity (observed operational taxonomic units (OTUs) and Simpson’s index) associated with bamboo leaves. Principal components analysis (PCoA) further confirmed the shifts in the bacterial and fungal communities caused by chicken farming. -
Serial Horizontal Transfer of Vitamin-Biosynthetic Genes Enables the Establishment of New Nutritional Symbionts in Aphids’ Di-Symbiotic Systems
The ISME Journal (2020) 14:259–273 https://doi.org/10.1038/s41396-019-0533-6 ARTICLE Serial horizontal transfer of vitamin-biosynthetic genes enables the establishment of new nutritional symbionts in aphids’ di-symbiotic systems 1 1 1 2 2 Alejandro Manzano-Marıń ● Armelle Coeur d’acier ● Anne-Laure Clamens ● Céline Orvain ● Corinne Cruaud ● 2 1 Valérie Barbe ● Emmanuelle Jousselin Received: 25 February 2019 / Revised: 24 August 2019 / Accepted: 7 September 2019 / Published online: 17 October 2019 © The Author(s) 2019. This article is published with open access Abstract Many insects depend on obligate mutualistic bacteria to provide essential nutrients lacking from their diet. Most aphids, whose diet consists of phloem, rely on the bacterial endosymbiont Buchnera aphidicola to supply essential amino acids and B vitamins. However, in some aphid species, provision of these nutrients is partitioned between Buchnera and a younger bacterial partner, whose identity varies across aphid lineages. Little is known about the origin and the evolutionary stability of these di-symbiotic systems. It is also unclear whether the novel symbionts merely compensate for losses in Buchnera or 1234567890();,: 1234567890();,: carry new nutritional functions. Using whole-genome endosymbiont sequences of nine Cinara aphids that harbour an Erwinia-related symbiont to complement Buchnera, we show that the Erwinia association arose from a single event of symbiont lifestyle shift, from a free-living to an obligate intracellular one. This event resulted in drastic genome reduction, long-term genome stasis, and co-divergence with aphids. Fluorescence in situ hybridisation reveals that Erwinia inhabits its own bacteriocytes near Buchnera’s. Altogether these results depict a scenario for the establishment of Erwinia as an obligate symbiont that mirrors Buchnera’s. -

Bacterial Community Structure in High-Arctic Snow and Freshwater As Revealed by Pyrosequencing of 16S Rrna Genes and Cultivation Annette K
RESEARCH/REVIEW ARTICLE Bacterial community structure in High-Arctic snow and freshwater as revealed by pyrosequencing of 16S rRNA genes and cultivation Annette K. Møller,1 Ditte A. Søborg,1 Waleed Abu Al-Soud,2 Søren J.

The bacterial community structures in High-Arctic snow over sea ice and an ice-covered freshwater lake were examined by pyrosequencing of 16S rRNA Correspondence genes and 16S rRNA gene sequencing of cultivated isolates. Both the Niels Kroer, pyrosequence and cultivation data indicated that the phylogenetic composition Department of Environmental Science, of the microbial assemblages was different within the snow layers and between Aarhus University, snow and freshwater. The highest diversity was seen in snow. In the middle Frederiksborgvej 399, and top snow layers, , and dominated, DK-4000 Roskilde, Denmark. Proteobacteria Bacteroidetes Cyanobacteria E-mail: [email protected] although Actinobacteria and Firmicutes were relatively abundant also. High numbers of chloroplasts were also observed. In the deepest snow layer, large percentages of Firmicutes and Fusobacteria were seen. In freshwater, Bacter- oidetes, Actinobacteria and Verrucomicrobia were the most abundant phyla while relatively few Proteobacteria and Cyanobacteria were present. Possibly, light intensity controlled the distribution of the Cyanobacteria and algae in the snow while carbon and nitrogen fixed by these autotrophs in turn fed the heterotrophic bacteria. In the lake, a probable lower light input relative to snow resulted in low numbers of Cyanobacteria and chloroplasts and, hence, limited input of organic carbon and nitrogen to the heterotrophic bacteria. -
