RESUMO
Draft genome sequences of 9 strains of known and putative new species of Microbacteriaceae isolated from insect- and nematode-damaged plants were generated using Illumina technology. The data obtained will contribute to the development of the genome-based prokaryote taxonomy and the knowledge on the biology of the microbial group investigated.
RESUMO
Draft genome sequences of 28 strains of Microbacteriaceae from plants infested by plant-parasitic nematodes were obtained using Illumina technology. The sequence data will provide useful baseline information for the development of comparative genomics and systematics of Microbacteriaceae and facilitate understanding of molecular mechanisms involved in interactions between plants and nematode-associated bacterial complexes.
RESUMO
Draft genome sequences of 11 bacteria belonging to the family Microbacteriaceae were obtained using Illumina technology. The genomes of these strains have sizes from 3.14 to 4.30 Mb with their genomic DNA characterized as having high G+C contents (above 65%). These genomic data will be useful for natural taxonomy and comparative genomic studies of bacterial strains of the family Microbacteriaceae.
RESUMO
A draft genome sequence of Rathayibacter sp. strain VKM Ac-2630 was derived using Ion Torrent sequencing technology. The genome size of this strain is 3.88 Mb, with an average G+C content of 72.0%. Genomic evidence of an aerobic mode of respiration and a heterotrophic lifestyle of this bacterium was obtained.
RESUMO
Phylogenetic relationships among gall-forming plant parasitic nematodes of the subfamily Anguininae are reconstructed by maximum parsimony and maximum likelihood analyses. Sequences of the ITS of rDNA from 53 populations and species of gall-forming nematodes and five populations of the Ditylenchus dipsaci species complex were analysed. The phylogenetic trees strongly support monophyly of the genus Anguina and show nonmonophyly for the genera Mesoanguina and Heteroanguina. Morphological and biological characters are generally congruent with the anguinid groups identified in the rDNA phylogeny. Analyses of evolution of different gall types among anguinids reveal that there are apparent evolutionary trends in gall evolution: from abnormal swelling and growth of infested plant organs toward small localised galls, and from infestation of vegetative toward generative organs. Our study demonstrates that the main anguinid groups are generally associated with host plants belonging to the same or related systematic groups. The comparison of the ITS phylogenies of anguinids parasitising Poaceae and their host grasses shows a high level of cospeciation events.
