Phylogeny and Evolution of Gall-Associated Plant Pathogenic Bacteria AN ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION OF Edward W. Davis II for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Molecular and Cellular Biology presented on June 7, 2017. Title: Phylogeny and Evolution of Gall-Associated Plant Pathogenic Bacteria. Abstract approved: ______________________________________________________ Jeff H. Chang Gall-associated phytopathogens have unique evolutionary histories that have shaped both their modes of infection and genomic structures. Pathogenicity of the gall- associated plant pathogens of the Rhodococcus, Agrobacterium, and Rathayibacter genera is mediated by horizontally acquired virulence loci. The relative ease of gain and loss of the virulence loci has confounded accurate characterization of these bacteria, especially those characterizations made prior to the use of molecular markers for genotyping. Work presented in this thesis uses whole genome guided approaches to discern the intra- and inter- species genetic diversity in the three genera described. Rhodococcus fascians is the causal agent of leafy gall disease. We tested the hypothesis that R. fascians is comprised of a single species level group and show that two distinct clades with up to six species level groups are able to cause symptoms consistent with leafy gall disease. These data reveal previously unknown chromosomal diversity within this group of phytopathogenic bacteria. Four lines of evidence that make use of whole genome sequences indicate that the species are acted on by distinct selective pressures and have unique evolutionary histories. Further, a set of horizontally acquired virulence loci is correlated with the pathogenic phenotype, regardless of chromosomal lineage. These data suggest that delimitation of phytopathogenic Rhodococcus isolates requires careful consideration with respect to both the chromosomal genotype as well as the presence of virulence loci. Rathayibacter spp. are vector mediated plant pathogens that infect nematode galls in the seed heads of several grass species. Rathayibacter toxicus, a Select Agent in the U.S., has been shown to produce corynetoxins, nucleoside antibiotics that also cause neurotoxic effects in mammals, when infected by a bacteriophage. As R. toxicus encodes a clustered regularly interspersed short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) system that acts as an adaptive immune system against foreign DNA in bacteria, we studied the CRISPR array evolution for insights into the ecology of bacteria-phage interactions. We predicted that over half of the spacers encoded in R. toxicus are functional in targeting the phage, while the bacteria still show susceptibility to the phage. These data suggest a complex homeostatic interaction whereby neither bacteria nor phage populations are eliminated. Further, our results challenge past conclusions on the efficacy of CRISPR-mediated immunity. Lastly, we generated a set of tools to facilitate comparative genomics research and accurate species and strain identification. Data are integrated into a website (http://gall-id.cgrb.oregonstate.edu/) to facilitate their use by all researchers, regardless of computational proclivity. ©Copyright by Edward W.

Davis II, Author ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I owe so much to so many people; I was certainly very fortunate to receive all of the support that I did throughout my time as a graduate student. I would like to thank my advisor, Jeff Chang, for his guidance, support, and the opportunity to make mistakes. I have gained more insight from Jeff over the past five years than I could have ever imagined. I would also like to thank my committee members Dee Denver, Taifo Mahmud, Tom Sharpton, and Gary DeLander. Thank you to the BPP department, the MCB program and the CGRB. Thank you to Joyce Loper and Tom Wolpert for giving me excellent advice throughout my graduate student career. I need to extend a special thank you to Melodie Putnam and members of the OSU Plant Clinic; I would not have worked on Rhodococcus, Rathayibacter, or Agrobacterium without you. Thank you to Marilyn Miller and Walt Ream; my time working with you on Agrobacterium was an pleasure. Thanks to my lab mates from the Chang lab, past and present: Allie Creason, Elizabeth Savory, Alex Buchanan, Jason Cumbie, Meesha Pena, Alex Weisberg, Chih-Feng Wu, Skylar Fuller, Michael Belcher, Dani Stevens, and others. It was certainly a team effort, and I’m glad to have had your help and friendship. Last, and most importantly, I would like to thank my family. My children, Lexie and Landon, are what keep me going every day. And without my wife, Marie, I would not be here. She is my rock and this is all possible because of her support.

Actinobacteria of the genus Rhodococcus, typical soil and aquatic biotope inhabitants, are characterized by high ecological plasticity and a wide range of oxidized organic substrates, including hydrocarbons and their derivatives. Their cell adaptations, such as the ability of adhering and colonizing surfaces, a complex life cycle, formation of resting cells and capsule-like structures, diauxotrophy, and a rigid cell wall, developed against the negative effects of anthropogenic pollutants are discussed and the risks of possible pathogenization of free-living saprotrophic Rhodococcus species are proposed. Due to universal adaptation features, Rhodococcus species are among the candidates, if further anthropogenic pressure increases, to move into the group of potentially pathogenic organisms with “unprofessional” parasitism, and to join an expanding list of infectious agents as facultative or occasional parasites.

  • Actinotalea Ferrariae Sp. Nov., Isolated from an Iron Mine, and Emended Description of the Genus Actinotalea
    %paper no. ije048512 charlesworth ref: ije048512& New Taxa - Actinobacteria International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology (2013), 63, 000–000 DOI 10.1099/ijs.0.048512-0 Actinotalea ferrariae sp. nov., isolated from an iron mine, and emended description of the genus Actinotalea Yanzhi Li, Fang Chen, Kun Dong and Gejiao Wang Correspondence State Key Laboratory of Agricultural Microbiology, College of Life Science and Technology, Gejiao Wang Huazhong Agricultural University, Wuhan, Hubei 430070, PR China [email protected] or [email protected] ; A Gram-stain-positive, aerobic, non-motile, rod-shaped bacterium, designated strain CF5-4T, was isolated from iron mining powder. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis grouped strain CF5-4T in a single cluster with Actinotalea fermentans DSM 3133T (97.6 % similarity). The major fatty acids T (.5 %) of strain CF5-4 were anteiso-C15 : 0, anteiso-C15 : 1 A, C16 : 0, iso-C16 : 0, iso-C15 : 0 and anteiso-C17 : 0. The predominant respiratory quinone was MK-10(H4) and the genomic DNA G+C content was 74.7 mol%. The major polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol and one unidentified phosphoglycolipid. The peptidoglycan type of strain CF5-4T was A4b, containing L-Orn–D-Ser–D-Asp. The cell-wall sugars were rhamnose, fucose, mannose and galactose. The results of DNA–DNA hybridization in combination with the comparison of phenotypic and phylogenetic characteristics among strain CF5-4T and related micro-organisms revealed that the isolate represents a novel species of the genus Actinotalea, for which the name Actinotalea ferrariae sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is CF5-4T (5KCTC 29134T5CCTCC AB2012198T).

  • Adaptive Differentiation and Rapid Evolution of a Soil Bacterium Along a Climate Gradient
    Adaptive differentiation and rapid evolution of a soil bacterium along a climate gradient Alexander B. Chasea,b,1, Claudia Weihea, and Jennifer B. H. Martinya aDepartment of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, University of California, Irvine, CA 92697; and bCenter for Marine Biotechnology and Biomedicine, Scripps Institution of Oceanography, University of California, San Diego, CA 92093 Edited by James M. Tiedje, Michigan State University, East Lansing, MI, and approved March 30, 2021 (received for review January 29, 2021) Microbial community responses to environmental change are largely shifts are due to adaptive differentiation among taxa as a result associated with ecological processes; however, the potential for of past evolutionary divergence. Concurrently, the same selective microbes to rapidly evolve and adapt remains relatively unexplored forces can also shift the abundance of conspecific strains and in natural environments. To assess how ecological and evolutionary alter the allele frequencies of preexisting genetic variation, which processes simultaneously alter the genetic diversity of a microbiome, at this genetic scale is defined as an evolutionary process (14). we conducted two concurrent experiments in the leaf litter layer of Finally, evolution through de novo mutation can provide a new soil over 18 mo across a climate gradient in Southern California. In the source of genetic variation that may allow for further adaptation first experiment, we reciprocally transplanted microbial communities to environmental change. from five sites to test whether ecological shifts in ecotypes of the In this study, we aimed to capture this continuum of ecological abundant bacterium, Curtobacterium, corresponded to past adaptive and evolutionary processes that together produce the response differentiation.
