Exploration of the genomic diversity and core genome of the Bifidobacterium adolescentis phylogenetic group by means of a polyphasic approach.

ABSTRACT: In the current work, we describe genome diversity and core genome sequences among representatives of three bifidobacterial species, i.e., Bifidobacterium adolescentis, Bifidobacterium catenulatum, and Bifidobacterium pseudocatenulatum, by employing a polyphasic approach involving analysis of 16S rRNA gene and 16S-23S internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequences, pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE), and comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) assays.

Genomic diversity of Bifidobacterium adolescentis group

Project description:Bifidobacteria have been described as a key component of the human gut microbiota, and recently significant efforts have been made to investigate their genome contents and assess the genetic variability at inter- and intra-species level. In the current work we investigated genome diversity among representatives of bifidobacterial species, i.e., Bifidobacterium adolescentis. These analyses were performed with comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) experiments and they revealed the existence of a strictly conserved set of 685 gene families. Furthermore, CGH analyses showed that genetic regions of diversity included mobile elements and putative genomic life-style adaptation islands, such as loci that encode pili and capsular polysaccharides, and genes involved in carbohydrate metabolism. CGH analysis was performed with microarrays that were based on the genome sequences of B. adolescentis ATCC15703 (NC_008618) . A total of 39,249 probes of 35 bp in length were designed using OligoArray 2.1 software. Oligos were synthesized in triplicate on a 2 × 40-k CombiMatrix array (CombiMatrix, Mulkiteo, USA). Replicates were distributed on the chip at random, non-adjacent positions. A set of 74 negative control probes designed on phage and plant sequences was also included on the chip. Seventeen micrograms of purified genomic DNA was labeled with Cy5-ULS using the Kreatech ULS array CGH Labeling kit (Kreatech Diagnostics) according to the supplier’s instructions. Hybridization of labeled test DNA to these microarrays was performed according to CombiMatrix protocols.

Genomic characterization and transcriptional studies of the starch-utilizing strain Bifidobacterium adolescentis 22L.

Project description:Bifidobacteria are members of the gut microbiota, but the genetic basis for their adaptation to the human gut is poorly understood. The analysis of the 2,203,222-bp genome of Bifidobacterium adolescentis 22L revealed a nutrient acquisition strategy that targets diet/plant-derived glycans, in particular starch and starch-like carbohydrates. Starch-like carbohydrates were shown to support the growth of B. adolescentis 22L. Transcriptome profiling of 22L cultures grown under in vitro conditions or during colonization of the murine gut by RNA sequencing and quantitative real-time PCR assays revealed the expression of a set of chromosomal loci responsible for starch metabolism as well as for pilus production. Such extracellular structures include so-called sortase-dependent and type IVb pili, which may be involved in gut colonization of 22L through adhesion to extracellular matrix proteins.

Evaluation of genetic diversity among strains of the human gut commensal Bifidobacterium adolescentis.

Project description:Bifidobacteria are members of the human gut microbiota, being numerically dominant in the colon of infants, while also being prevalent in the large intestine of adults. In this study, we determined and analyzed the pan-genome of Bifidobacterium adolescentis, which is one of many bacteria found in the human adult gut microbiota. In silico analysis of the genome sequences of eighteen B. adolescentis strains isolated from various environments, such as human milk, human feces and bovine rumen, revealed a high level of genetic variability, resulting in an open pan-genome. Compared to other bifidobacterial taxa such as Bifidobacterium bifidum and Bifidobacterium breve, the more extensive B. adolescentis pan-genome supports the hypothesis that the genetic arsenal of this taxon expanded so as to become more adaptable to the variable and changing ecological niche of the gut. These increased genetic capabilities are particularly evident for genes required for dietary glycan-breakdown.

Antiviral activity of Bifidobacterium adolescentis SPM1605 against Coxsackievirus B3.

Project description:Bifidobacteria are considered one of the most beneficial probiotics and have been widely studied for their effects against specific pathogens. The present study investigated the antiviral activity of probiotics isolated from Koreans against Coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3). The effect of probiotic isolates against CVB3 was measured by the plaque assay and cellular toxicity of bifidobacteria in HeLa cells was measured using 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. Among 13 probiotic isolates, 3 Bifidobacterium adolescentis, 2 Bifidobacterium longum and 1 Bifidobacterium pseudocatenulatum had an antiviral effect against CVB3, while the others did not show such effect. B. adolescentis SPM1605 showed the greatest inhibitory properties against CVB3. When the threshold cycle (CT) values for the treated B. adolescentis SPM1605 samples were compared to the results for the non-treated samples, it was shown that the amplified viral sequences from the CVB3 had their copy number lowered by B. adolescentis SPM1605. Moreover, the gene expression in infected HeLa cells was also inhibited by 50%. The results suggest that B. adolescentis SPM1605 suppresses CVB3 and could be used as an alternative therapy against infectious diseases caused by coxsackieviruses.
