Shotgun Metagenomic Survey of Maize Soil Rhizobiome.

ABSTRACT: The plant soil rhizobiome induces critical functions in the plant proximal environment. Linkages between soil microbiota and primary functional attributes are underexplored. Here, we present the metagenomes of maize soil rhizosphere organisms with functional diversity associated with farms at two different municipalities in North West and Gauteng provinces of South Africa. We describe a plenteous and diverse microbial community.

Shotgun metagenomic data of root endophytic microbiome of maize (Zea mays L.).

Project description:This dataset represents the root endophytic microbial community profile of maize (Zea mays L.), one of the largest food crops in South Africa, using a shotgun metagenomic approach. To the best of our understanding, this is the first account showcasing the endophytic microbial diversity in maize plants via the shotgun metagenomics approach. High throughput sequencing of the whole DNA from the community was carried out using NovaSeq 6000 system (Illumina). The data obtained consists of 10,915,268 sequences accounting for 261,906,948 bps with an average length of 153 base pairs and 43% Guanine+Cytosine content. The metagenome data can be accessed at the National Centre for Biotechnology Information SRA registered with the accession number PRJNA607664. Community analysis was done using an online server called MG-RAST, which showed that 0.12% of the sequences were archaeal associated, eukaryotes were 15.06%, while 84.77% were classified as bacteria. A sum of 28 bacterial, 22 eukaryotic and 4 archaeal phyla were identified. The predominant genera were Bacillus (16%), Chitinophaga (12%), Flavobacterium (4%), Chryseobacterium (4%), Paenibacillus (4%), Pedobacter (3%) and Alphaproteobacteria (3%). Annotation using Cluster of Orthologous Group (COG) revealed that 41.47% of the sequenced data were for metabolic function, 24.10% for chemical process and signaling, while 17.43% of the sequences were in the poorly characterized group. Annotation using the subsystem method showed that 18% of the sequences were associated with carbohydrates, 9% were for clustering-based subsystems, and 9% contain genes coding for amino acids and derivatives, which might be beneficial in plant growth and health improvement.

Metagenomic Survey of Tomato Rhizosphere Microbiome Using the Shotgun Approach.

Project description:Food sustainability, e.g., fruit and vegetables, is a major agricultural problem that requires monitoring. Rhizosphere microbiomes' abundance and functionality are essential in promoting tomato plants' growth and health. We selected farms in South Africa's North West Province and present the metagenomes of their tomato rhizospheres and associated functional potentials.

Metabolic regulation of the maize rhizobiome by benzoxazinoids.

Project description:The rhizobiome is an important regulator of plant growth and health. Plants shape their rhizobiome communities through production and release of primary and secondary root metabolites. Benzoxazinoids (BXs) are common tryptophan-derived secondary metabolites in grasses that regulate belowground and aboveground biotic interactions. In addition to their biocidal activity, BXs can regulate plant-biotic interactions as semiochemicals or within-plant defence signals. However, the full extent and mechanisms by which BXs shape the root-associated microbiome has remained largely unexplored. Here, we have taken a global approach to examine the regulatory activity of BXs on the maize root metabolome and associated bacterial and fungal communities. Using untargeted mass spectrometry analysis in combination with prokaryotic and fungal amplicon sequencing, we compared the impacts of three genetic mutations in different steps in the BX pathway. We show that BXs regulate global root metabolism and concurrently influence the rhizobiome in a root type-dependent manner. Correlation analysis between BX-controlled root metabolites and bacterial taxa suggested a dominant role for BX-dependent metabolites, particularly flavonoids, in constraining a range of soil microbial taxa, while stimulating methylophilic bacteria. Our study supports a multilateral model by which BXs control root-microbe interactions via a global regulatory function in root secondary metabolism.

HOME-BIO (sHOtgun MEtagenomic analysis of BIOlogical entities): from reads to pathogens. A specific and exhaustive pipeline for handling metagenomic shotgun sequencing data.

Project description:Next-Generation-Sequencing (NGS) technologies have led to important improvement in the detection of new or unrecognized infective agents, related to infectious diseases. In this context, NGS high-throughput technology can be used to achieve a comprehensive and unbiased sequencing of the nucleic acids present in a clinical sample (i.e. tissues). Metagenomic shotgun sequencing has emerged as powerful high-throughput approaches to analyze and survey microbial composition in the field of infectious diseases. By directly sequencing millions of nucleic acid molecules in a sample and matching the sequences to those available in databases, pathogens of an infectious disease can be inferred. Despite the large amount of metagenomic shotgun data produced, there is a lack of a comprehensive and easy-use pipeline for data analysis that avoid annoying and complicated bioinformatics steps. Here we present HOME-BIO, a modular and exhaustive pipeline for analysis of biological entity estimation, specific designed for shotgun sequenced clinical samples. HOME-BIO analysis provides comprehensive taxonomy classification by querying different source database and carry out main steps in metagenomic investigation. HOME-BIO is a powerful tool in the hand of biologist without computational experience, which are focused on metagenomic analysis. Its easy-to-use intrinsic characteristic allows users to simply import raw sequenced reads file and obtain taxonomy profile of their samples.

Project description:BackgroundNext-Generation-Sequencing (NGS) enables detection of microorganisms present in biological and other matrices of various origin and nature, allowing not only the identification of known phyla and strains but also the discovery of novel ones. The large amount of metagenomic shotgun data produced by NGS require comprehensive and user-friendly pipelines for data analysis, that speed up the bioinformatics steps, relieving the users from the need to manually perform complex and time-consuming tasks.ResultsWe describe here HOME-BIO (sHOtgun MEtagenomic analysis of BIOlogical entities), an exhaustive pipeline for metagenomics data analysis, comprising three independent analytical modules designed for an inclusive analysis of large NGS datasets.ConclusionsHOME-BIO is a powerful and easy-to-use tool that can be run also by users with limited computational expertise. It allows in-depth analyses by removing low-complexity/ problematic reads, integrating the analytical steps that lead to a comprehensive taxonomy profile of each sample by querying different source databases, and it is customizable according to specific users' needs.

WGSQuikr: fast whole-genome shotgun metagenomic classification.

Project description:With the decrease in cost and increase in output of whole-genome shotgun technologies, many metagenomic studies are utilizing this approach in lieu of the more traditional 16S rRNA amplicon technique. Due to the large number of relatively short reads output from whole-genome shotgun technologies, there is a need for fast and accurate short-read OTU classifiers. While there are relatively fast and accurate algorithms available, such as MetaPhlAn, MetaPhyler, PhyloPythiaS, and PhymmBL, these algorithms still classify samples in a read-by-read fashion and so execution times can range from hours to days on large datasets. We introduce WGSQuikr, a reconstruction method which can compute a vector of taxonomic assignments and their proportions in the sample with remarkable speed and accuracy. We demonstrate on simulated data that WGSQuikr is typically more accurate and up to an order of magnitude faster than the aforementioned classification algorithms. We also verify the utility of WGSQuikr on real biological data in the form of a mock community. WGSQuikr is a Whole-Genome Shotgun QUadratic, Iterative, K-mer based Reconstruction method which extends the previously introduced 16S rRNA-based algorithm Quikr. A MATLAB implementation of WGSQuikr is available at: http://sourceforge.net/projects/wgsquikr.
