Draft Genome Sequences of Eight Isolates of Beauveria bassiana of Neotropical Origin.

ABSTRACT: Beauveria bassiana, a well-known entomopathogenic fungus, has a worldwide distribution; however, genomes of isolates from the Neotropical region are scarce. Here, we report the draft genome sequences of eight B. bassiana isolates from Costa Rica, Puerto Rico, and Honduras.

Draft genome sequences of eight bacterial isolates from Pisum sativum leaf surfaces.

Project description:Bacterial communities in the phyllosphere, the above-ground parts of plants, are diverse yet understudied. These bacteria are important for plant health and also for inter-kingdom interactions with beneficial and pest insect species. Here, we present draft genomes of eight culturable bacterial isolates from leaf surfaces in the Pisum sativum phyllosphere.

Computational identification and characterization of chitinase 1 and chitinase 2 from neotropical isolates of Beauveria bassiana.

Project description:BackgroundThe fungus Beauveria bassiana is widely used for agronomical applications, mainly in biological control. B. bassiana uses chitinase enzymes to degrade chitin, a major chemical component found in insect exoskeletons and fungal cell walls. However, until recently, genomic information on neotropical isolates, as well as their metabolic and biotechnological potential, has been limited.MethodsEight complete B. bassiana genomes of Neotropical origin and three references were studied to identify chitinase genes and its corresponding proteins, which were curated and characterized using manual curation and computational tools. We conducted a computational study to highlight functional differences and similarities for chitinase proteins in these Neotropical isolates.ResultsEleven chitinase 1 genes were identified, categorized as chitinase 1.1 and chitinase 1.2. Five chitinase 2 genes were identified but presented a higher sequence conservation across all sequences. Interestingly, physicochemical parameters were more similar between chitinase 1.1 and chitinase 2 than between chitinase 1.1 and 1.2.ConclusionChitinases 1 and 2 demonstrated variations, especially within chitinase 1, which presented a potential paralog. These differences were observed in their physical parameters. Additionally, CHIT2 completely lacks a signal peptide. This implies that CHIT1 might be associated with infection processes, while CHIT2 could be involved in morphogenesis and cellular growth. Therefore, our work highlights the importance of computational studies on local isolates, providing valuable resources for further experimental validation. Intrinsic changes within local species can significantly impact our understanding of complex pathogen-host interactions and offer practical applications, such as biological control.

Mycoviral Population Dynamics in Spanish Isolates of the Entomopathogenic Fungus Beauveria bassiana.

Project description:The use of mycoviruses to manipulate the virulence of entomopathogenic fungi employed as biocontrol agents may lead to the development of novel methods to control attacks by insect pests. Such approaches are urgently required, as existing agrochemicals are being withdrawn from the market due to environmental and health concerns. The aim of this work is to investigate the presence and diversity of mycoviruses in large panels of entomopathogenic fungi, mostly from Spain and Denmark. In total, 151 isolates belonging to the genera Beauveria, Metarhizium, Lecanicillium, Purpureocillium, Isaria, and Paecilomyces were screened for the presence of dsRNA elements and 12 Spanish B. bassiana isolates were found to harbor mycoviruses. All identified mycoviruses belong to three previously characterised species, the officially recognised Beauveria bassiana victorivirus 1 (BbVV-1) and the proposed Beauveria bassiana partitivirus 2 (BbPV-2) and Beauveria bassiana polymycovirus 1 (BbPmV-1); individual B. bassiana isolates may harbor up to three of these mycoviruses. Notably, these mycovirus species are under distinct selection pressures, while recombination of viral genomes increases population diversity. Phylogenetic analysis of the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase gene sequences revealed that the current population structure in Spain is potentially a result of both vertical and horizontal mycovirus transmission. Finally, pathogenicity experiments using the Mediterranean fruit fly Ceratitis capitata showed no direct correlation between the presence of any particular mycovirus and the virulence of the B. bassiana isolates, but illustrated potentially interesting isolates that exhibit relatively high virulence, which will be used in more detailed virulence experimentation in the future.
