  • Succession and Persistence of Microbial Communities and Antimicrobial Resistance Genes Associated with International Space Stati
    Singh et al. Microbiome (2018) 6:204 https://doi.org/10.1186/s40168-018-0585-2 RESEARCH Open Access Succession and persistence of microbial communities and antimicrobial resistance genes associated with International Space Station environmental surfaces Nitin Kumar Singh1, Jason M. Wood1, Fathi Karouia2,3 and Kasthuri Venkateswaran1* Abstract Background: The International Space Station (ISS) is an ideal test bed for studying the effects of microbial persistence and succession on a closed system during long space flight. Culture-based analyses, targeted gene-based amplicon sequencing (bacteriome, mycobiome, and resistome), and shotgun metagenomics approaches have previously been performed on ISS environmental sample sets using whole genome amplification (WGA). However, this is the first study reporting on the metagenomes sampled from ISS environmental surfaces without the use of WGA. Metagenome sequences generated from eight defined ISS environmental locations in three consecutive flights were analyzed to assess the succession and persistence of microbial communities, their antimicrobial resistance (AMR) profiles, and virulence properties. Metagenomic sequences were produced from the samples treated with propidium monoazide (PMA) to measure intact microorganisms. Results: The intact microbial communities detected in Flight 1 and Flight 2 samples were significantly more similar to each other than to Flight 3 samples. Among 318 microbial species detected, 46 species constituting 18 genera were common in all flight samples. Risk group or biosafety level 2 microorganisms that persisted among all three flights were Acinetobacter baumannii, Haemophilus influenzae, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Salmonella enterica, Shigella sonnei, Staphylococcus aureus, Yersinia frederiksenii,andAspergillus lentulus.EventhoughRhodotorula and Pantoea dominated the ISS microbiome, Pantoea exhibited succession and persistence. K. pneumoniae persisted in one location (US Node 1) of all three flights and might have spread to six out of the eight locations sampled on Flight 3.

Shotgun sequencing at low genome coverage is a common approach for isolating high-copy DNA, such as the plastid or mitochondrial genomes, and ribosomal DNA. These sequence data, however, are also rich in repetitive elements that are often discarded. Such data include a variety of repeats present throughout the nuclear genome in high copy number. It has recently been shown that the abundance of repetitive elements has phylogenetic signal and can be used as a continuous character to infer tree topologies. In the present study, we evaluate repetitive DNA data in tomatoes (Solanum section Lycopersicon)to explore how they perform at the inter- and intraspecific levels, utilizing the available data from the 100 Tomato Genome Sequencing Consortium.

They also promoted the evolution of human, animals, and the planet earth. Despite the numerous advances in genome reports or sequencing technologies, no review covers all the released angiosperm genomes and the genome databases for data sharing. Based on the rapid advances and innovations in the database reconstruction in the last few years, here we provide a comprehensive Edited by: review for three major types of angiosperm genome databases, including databases Santosh Kumar Upadhyay, Panjab University, India for a single species, for a specific angiosperm clade, and for multiple angiosperm Reviewed by: species. The scope, tools, and data of each type of databases and their features Sumit Kumar Bag, are concisely discussed. The genome databases for a single species or a clade of National Botanical Research Institute species are especially popular for specific group of researchers, while a timely-updated (CSIR), India Xiyin Wang, comprehensive database is more powerful for address of major scientific mysteries at North China University of Science and the genome scale.

  • Effect of Non-Pathogenic Bacteria on Plant Pathogen Virulence and The
    Effect of non-pathogenic bacteria on plant pathogen virulence and the plant immune system Thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Masters of Science in Microbiology at The University of Canterbury by Renji Jiang August 2020 Abstract The development of so-called biocontrol agents is in the spotlight to solve agricultural losses caused by foliar pathogens. Biocontrol agents can protect plants via direct antagonistic interactions or by modulating host immune networks to induce plant resistance indirectly. The focus of this thesis lies on screening potential microbial biocontrol agents against model pathogens and dissecting the underlying mechanisms behind such protection. I have employed an in planta assay to inoculate gnotobiotic Arabidopsis with individual strains from a diverse set of bacteria prior to infection with either the model biotrophic pathogen Pseudomonas syringae DC3000 or the model necrotrophic pathogen Botrytis cinerea. The protective ability of each bacterial strain was determined by examining the plant phenotype. The direct antagonistic interactions were suggested on a bacterial population level. In addition, a protoplast-based assay was established to investigate the potential link between the reduction in disease phenotype and the potential modulation of the plant immune responses to bacteria. As a result, Acidovorax sp. leaf 84, Pedobacter sp. leaf 194, Plantibacter sp. leaf 1 and Pseudomonas citronellolis P3B5 in addition to Sphingomonas species showed a striking ability to protect plants from developing severe disease symptoms caused by biotrophic pathogen Pseudomonas syringae DC3000 infection.
