Comparative Plastid Genomics of Non-Photosynthetic Chrysophytes: Genome Reduction and Compaction.
Comparative Plastid Genomics of Non-Photosynthetic Chrysophytes: Genome Reduction and Compaction. Front Plant Sci. 2020;11:572703 Authors: Kim JI, Jeong M, Archibald JM, Shin W Abstract Spumella-like heterotrophic chrysophytes are important eukaryotic microorganisms that feed on bacteria in aquatic and soil environments. They are characterized by their lack of pigmentation, naked cell surface, and extremely small size. …

Putative genome features of relic green alga-derived nuclei in dinoflagellates and future perspectives as model organisms
Nucleomorphs, relic endosymbiont nuclei, have been studied as a model to elucidate the evolutionary process of integrating a eukaryotic endosymbiont into a host cell organelle. Recently, we reported two new dinoflagellates possessing nucleomorphs, and proposed them as new models in this research field based on the following findings: genome integration processes are incomplete, and the origins of the endosymbiont lineages were pinpointed. Here, we focused on the nucleomorph genome features in…

Assessing the Variation within the Oral Microbiome of Healthy Adults. mSphere. 2020 Sep 30;5(5): Authors: Nearing JT, DeClercq V, Van Limbergen J, Langille MGI Abstract More than 1,000 different species of microbes have been found to live within the human oral cavity, where they play important roles in maintaining both oral and systemic health. Several …

Metagenome-assembled genome binning methods with short reads disproportionately fail for plasmids and genomic Islands.
Metagenome-assembled genome binning methods with short reads disproportionately fail for plasmids and genomic Islands. Microb Genom. 2020 Oct 01;: Authors: Maguire F, Jia B, Gray KL, Lau WYV, Beiko RG, Brinkman FSL Abstract Metagenomic methods enable the simultaneous characterization of microbial communities without time-consuming and bias-inducing culturing. Metagenome-assembled genome (MAG) binning methods aim to reassemble …

Differential expression of <em>Exaiptasia pallida</em> GIMAP genes upon induction of apoptosis and autophagy suggests a potential role in cnidarian symbiosis and disease
Coral reefs, one of the world’s most productive and diverse ecosystems, are currently threatened by a variety of stressors that result in increased prevalence of both bleaching and disease. Therefore, understanding the molecular mechanisms involved in these responses is critical to mitigate future damage to the reefs. One group of genes that is potentially involved in cnidarian immunity and symbiosis is GTPases of immunity associated proteins (GIMAP). In vertebrates, this family of proteins is…

Limnobacter alexandrii sp. nov., a thiosulfate-oxidizing, heterotrophic and EPS-bearing Burkholderiaceae isolated from cultivable phycosphere microbiota of toxic Alexandrium catenella LZT09
A novel Gram-negative, aerobic, motile and short rod-shaped bacterium with exopolysaccharides production, designated as LZ-4^(T), was isolated from cultivable phycosphere microbiota of harmful algal blooms-causing marine dinoflagellate Alexandrium catenella LZT09 which produces paralytic shellfish poisoning toxins. Strain LZ-4^(T) was able to use thiosulfate (optimum concentration 10 mM) as energy source for bacterial growth. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that…
