  • First Description of a Temperate Bacteriophage (Vb Fhim KIRK) of Francisella Hispaniensis Strain 3523

Abstract: Here we present the characterization of a Francisella bacteriophage (vB_FhiM_KIRK) includ- ing the morphology, the genome sequence and the induction of the prophage. The prophage sequence (FhaGI-1) has previously been identified in F. hispaniensis strain 3523. UV radiation induced the prophage to assemble phage particles consisting of an icosahedral head (~52 nm in diameter), a tail of up to 97 nm in length and a mean width of 9 nm. The double stranded genome of vB_FhiM_KIRK contains 51 open reading frames and is 34,259 bp in length. The genotypic and phylogenetic analysis indicated that this phage seems to belong to the Myoviridae family of bacteriophages. Under the Citation: Köppen, K.; Prensa, G.I.; conditions tested here, host cell (Francisella hispaniensis 3523) lysis activity of KIRK was very low, and Rydzewski, K.; Tlapák, H.; Holland, the phage particles seem to be defective for infecting new bacterial cells.

  • Genomic Analysis and Relatedness of P2-Like Phages of the Burkholderia Cepacia Complex Karlene H Lynch1, Paul Stothard2, Jonathan J Dennis1*
    Lynch et al. BMC Genomics 2010, 11:599 http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2164/11/599 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Genomic analysis and relatedness of P2-like phages of the Burkholderia cepacia complex Karlene H Lynch1, Paul Stothard2, Jonathan J Dennis1* Abstract Background: The Burkholderia cepacia complex (BCC) is comprised of at least seventeen Gram-negative species that cause infections in cystic fibrosis patients. Because BCC bacteria are broadly antibiotic resistant, phage therapy is currently being investigated as a possible alternative treatment for these infections. The purpose of our study was to sequence and characterize three novel BCC-specific phages: KS5 (vB_BceM-KS5 or vB_BmuZ-ATCC 17616), KS14 (vB_BceM-KS14) and KL3 (vB_BamM-KL3 or vB_BceZ-CEP511). Results: KS5, KS14 and KL3 are myoviruses with the A1 morphotype. The genomes of these phages are between 32317 and 40555 base pairs in length and are predicted to encode between 44 and 52 proteins. These phages have over 50% of their proteins in common with enterobacteria phage P2 and so can be classified as members of the Peduovirinae subfamily and the “P2-like viruses” genus. The BCC phage proteins similar to those encoded by P2 are predominantly structural components involved in virion morphogenesis. As prophages, KS5 and KL3 integrate into an AMP nucleosidase gene and a threonine tRNA gene, respectively. Unlike other P2-like viruses, the KS14 prophage is maintained as a plasmid. The P2 E+E’ translational frameshift site is conserved among these three phages and so they are predicted to use frameshifting for expression of two of their tail proteins.

The bacterial plant pathogenic Ralstonia species belong to the beta- proteobacteria order and are soil-borne pathogens causing the vascular bacterial wilt disease, affecting a wide range of plant hosts. These bacteria form a heterogeneous group considered as a “species complex”,” gathering three newly defined species. Like many other Gram negative plant pathogens, Ralstonia pathogenicity relies on a type III secretion system, enabling bacteria to secrete/inject a large repertoire of type III effectors into their plant host cells. T3Es are thought to participate in generating a favorable environment for the pathogen (countering plant immunity and modifying the host metabolism and physiology).

  • A Genome-Wide Scan for Genes Under Balancing Selection in the Plant Pathogen Ralstonia Solanacearum José A
    Castillo and Agathos BMC Evolutionary Biology (2019) 19:123 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12862-019-1456-6 RESEARCHARTICLE Open Access A genome-wide scan for genes under balancing selection in the plant pathogen Ralstonia solanacearum José A. Castillo1* and Spiros N. Agathos2 Abstract Background: Plant pathogens are under significant selective pressure by the plant host. Consequently, they are expected to have adapted to this condition or contribute to evading plant defenses. In order to acquire long-term fitness, plant bacterial pathogens are usually forced to maintain advantageous genetic diversity in populations. This strategy ensures that different alleles in the pathogen’s gene pool are maintained in a population at frequencies larger than expected under neutral evolution. This selective process, known as balancing selection, is the subject of this work in the context of a common bacterial phytopathogen. We performed a genome-wide scan of Ralstonia solanacearum species complex, an aggressive plant bacterial pathogen that shows broad host range and causes a devastating disease called ‘bacterial wilt’. Results: Using a sliding window approach, we analyzed 57 genomes from three phylotypes of the R. solanacearum species complex to detect signatures of balancing selection. A total of 161 windows showed extreme values in three summary statistics of population genetics: Tajima’sD,θw and Fu & Li’s D*. We discarded any confounding effects due to demographic events by means of coalescent simulations of genetic data. The prospective windows correspond to 78 genes with known function that map in any of the two main replicons (1.7% of total number of genes). The candidate genes under balancing selection are related to primary metabolism and other basal activities (51.3%) or directly associated to virulence (48.7%), the latter being involved in key functions targeted to dismantle plant defenses or to participate in critical stages in the pathogenic process.
