Detailed transcriptome analysis of the plant growth promoting Paenibacillus riograndensis SBR5 by using RNA-seq technology.

ABSTRACT: The plant growth promoting rhizobacterium Paenibacillus riograndensis SBR5 is a promising candidate to serve as crop inoculant. Despite its potential in providing environmental and economic benefits, the species P. riograndensis is poorly characterized. Here, we performed for the first time a detailed transcriptome analysis of P. riograndensis SBR5 using RNA-seq technology.RNA was isolated from P. riograndensis SBR5 cultivated under 15 different growth conditions and combined together in order to analyze an RNA pool representing a large set of expressed genes. The resultant total RNA was used to generate 2 different libraries, one enriched in 5'-ends of the primary transcripts and the other representing the whole transcriptome. Both libraries were sequenced and analyzed to identify the conserved sequences of ribosome biding sites and translation start motifs, and to elucidate operon structures present in the transcriptome of P. riograndensis. Sequence analysis of the library enriched in 5'-ends of the primary transcripts was used to identify 1082 transcription start sites (TSS) belonging to novel transcripts and allowed us to determine a promoter consensus sequence and regulatory sequences in 5' untranslated regions including riboswitches. A putative thiamine pyrophosphate dependent riboswitch upstream of the thiamine biosynthesis gene thiC was characterized by translational fusion to a fluorescent reporter gene and shown to function in P. riograndensis SBR5.Our RNA-seq analysis provides insight into the P. riograndensis SBR5 transcriptome at the systems level and will be a valuable basis for differential RNA-seq analysis of this bacterium.

Project description:Anopheles funestus is one of the primary vectors of human malaria, which causes a million deaths each year in sub-Saharan Africa. Few scientific resources are available to facilitate studies of this mosquito species and relatively little is known about its basic biology and evolution, making development and implementation of novel disease control efforts more difficult. The An. funestus genome has not been sequenced, so in order to facilitate genome-scale experimental biology, we have sequenced the adult female transcriptome of An. funestus from a newly founded colony in Burkina Faso, West Africa, using the Illumina GAIIx next generation sequencing platform.We assembled short Illumina reads de novo using a novel approach involving iterative de novo assemblies and "target-based" contig clustering. We then selected a conservative set of 15,527 contigs through comparisons to four Dipteran transcriptomes as well as multiple functional and conserved protein domain databases. Comparison to the Anopheles gambiae immune system identified 339 contigs as putative immune genes, thus identifying a large portion of the immune system that can form the basis for subsequent studies of this important malaria vector. We identified 5,434 1:1 orthologues between An. funestus and An. gambiae and found that among these 1:1 orthologues, the protein sequence of those with putative immune function were significantly more diverged than the transcriptome as a whole. Short read alignments to the contig set revealed almost 367,000 genetic polymorphisms segregating in the An. funestus colony and demonstrated the utility of the assembled transcriptome for use in RNA-seq based measurements of gene expression.We developed a pipeline that makes de novo transcriptome sequencing possible in virtually any organism at a very reasonable cost ($6,300 in sequencing costs in our case). We anticipate that our approach could be used to develop genomic resources in a diversity of systems for which full genome sequence is currently unavailable. Our An. funestus contig set and analytical results provide a valuable resource for future studies in this non-model, but epidemiologically critical, vector insect.

Project description:The role of microbial volatile organic compounds (MVOCs) in promoting plant growth has received much attention. We isolated Paenibacillus peoriae from mangrove rhizosphere soil, which can produce VOCs to promote the growth of Arabidopsis thaliana seedlings, increase the aboveground biomass of A. thaliana, and increase the number of lateral roots of A. thaliana. The effects of different inoculation amounts and different media on the composition of MVOCs were studied by solid-phase microextraction/gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (SPME/GC-MS) and headspace sampler/GC-MS. We found that the growth medium influences the function and composition of MVOCs. To survey the growth-promoting functions, the transcriptome of the receptor A. thaliana was then determined. We also verified the inhibitory effect of the soluble compounds produced by P. peoriae on the growth of 10 pathogenic fungi. The ability of P. peoriae to produce volatile and soluble compounds to promote plant growth and disease resistance has shown great potential for application in the sustainability of agricultural production. IMPORTANCE Microbial volatile organic compounds (MVOCs) have great potential as "gas fertilizers" for agricultural applications, and it is a promising research direction for the utilization of microbial resources. This study is part of the field of interactions between microorganisms and plants. To study the function and application of microorganisms from the perspective of VOCs is helpful to break the bottleneck of traditional microbial application. At present, the study of MVOCs is lacking; there is a lack of functional strains, especially with plant-protective functions and nonpathogenic application value. The significance of this study is that it provides Paenibacillus peoriae, which produces VOCs with plant growth-promoting effects and broad-spectrum antifungal activity against plant-pathogenic fungi. Our study provides a more comprehensive, new VOC component analysis method and explains how MVOCs promote plant growth through transcriptome analysis. This will greatly increase our understanding of MVOC applications as a model for other MVOC research.
