Isolation and draft genome sequence of <i>Enterobacter asburiae</i> strain i6 amenable to genetic manipulation.

Project description:Enterobacter asburiae is a species of Gram-negative bacteria that is found in soil, water, and sewage. E. asburiae is generally considered to be an opportunistic pathogen, but has also been reported as a plant growth-promoting bacterium (PGPB), which may have beneficial effects on plant growth and development. However, genetic analysis of E. asburiae has been limited, possibly due to its redundant enzymes that digest exogenous DNA in the cell. Here, an E. asburiae strain i6 was isolated from soil in Nara, Japan. This strain was amenable to transformation and the one-step gene inactivation method based on λ Red recombinase. The transformation efficiency of the i6 strain with the 10 kb plasmid DNA pCF430 was at least four orders of magnitude higher than that of the previously sequenced E. asburiae strain ATCC 35953, which could not be transformed with the same plasmid DNA. A draft genome sequence of the i6 strain was determined and deposited into the database, allowing several factors that may determine transformation efficiency to be perturbed and tested. Together with the amenability of the i6 strain to genetic manipulation, the information from the i6 genome will facilitate characterization and fine-tuning of the beneficial and detrimental traits of this species.

Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transformation of the lichen fungus, Umbilicaria muehlenbergii.

Project description:Transformation-mediated mutagenesis in both targeted and random manners has been widely applied to decipher gene function in diverse fungi. However, a transformation system has not yet been established for lichen fungi, severely limiting our ability to study their biology and mechanism underpinning symbiosis via gene manipulation. Here, we report the first successful transformation of the lichen fungus, Umbilicaria muehlenbergii, via the use of Agrobacterium tumefaciens. We generated a total of 918 transformants employing a binary vector that carries the hygromycin B phosphotransferase gene as a selection marker and the enhanced green fluorescent protein gene for labeling transformants. Randomly selected transformants appeared mitotically stable, based on their maintenance of hygromycin B resistance after five generations of growth without selection. Genomic Southern blot showed that 88% of 784 transformants contained a single T-DNA insert in their genome. A number of putative mutants affected in colony color, size, and/or morphology were found among these transformants, supporting the utility of Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transformation (ATMT) for random insertional mutagenesis of U. muehlenbergii. This ATMT approach potentially offers a systematic gene functional study with genome sequences of U. muehlenbergii that is currently underway.

Transposable Elements in the Genome of the Lichen-Forming Fungus <i>Umbilicaria pustulata</i> and Their Distribution in Different Climate Zones along Elevation.

Project description:Transposable elements (TEs) are an important source of genome plasticity across the tree of life. Drift and natural selection are important forces shaping TE distribution and accumulation. Fungi, with their multifaceted phenotypic diversity and relatively small genome size, are ideal models to study the role of TEs in genome evolution and their impact on the host's ecological and life history traits. Here we present an account of all TEs found in a high-quality reference genome of the lichen-forming fungus Umbilicaria pustulata, a macrolichen species comprising two climatic ecotypes: Mediterranean and cold temperate. We trace the occurrence of the newly identified TEs in populations along three elevation gradients using a Pool-Seq approach to identify TE insertions of potential adaptive significance. We found that TEs cover 21.26% of the 32.9 Mbp genome, with LTR Gypsy and Copia clades being the most common TEs. We identified 28 insertions displaying consistent insertion frequency differences between the two host ecotypes across the elevation gradients. Most of the highly differentiated insertions were located near genes, indicating a putative function. This pioneering study of the content and climate niche-specific distribution of TEs in a lichen-forming fungus contributes to understanding the roles of TEs in fungal evolution.
