Hybrid Nanopore-Illumina Genome Assembly of a Drosophila suzukii Gut Bacterial Symbiont, Gluconobacter cerinus FLW-1.

ABSTRACT: Gluconobacter is a genus of acetic acid bacteria (AAB) whose members have been shown to function as insect symbionts. Here, we report the complete genome sequence of Gluconobacter cerinus, isolated from field-collected Drosophila suzukii using a hybrid assembly approach. The data provide essential insights into the metabolic functions of the symbiont to the host.

Project description:BackgroundSome of the most widely recognized coral reef fishes are clownfish or anemonefish, members of the family Pomacentridae (subfamily: Amphiprioninae). They are popular aquarium species due to their bright colours, adaptability to captivity, and fascinating behavior. Their breeding biology (sequential hermaphrodites) and symbiotic mutualism with sea anemones have attracted much scientific interest. Moreover, there are some curious geographic-based phenotypes that warrant investigation. Leveraging on the advancement in Nanopore long read technology, we report the first hybrid assembly of the clown anemonefish (Amphiprion ocellaris) genome utilizing Illumina and Nanopore reads, further demonstrating the substantial impact of modest long read sequencing data sets on improving genome assembly statistics.ResultsWe generated 43 Gb of short Illumina reads and 9 Gb of long Nanopore reads, representing approximate genome coverage of 54× and 11×, respectively, based on the range of estimated k-mer-predicted genome sizes of between 791 and 967 Mbp. The final assembled genome is contained in 6404 scaffolds with an accumulated length of 880 Mb (96.3% BUSCO-calculated genome completeness). Compared with the Illumina-only assembly, the hybrid approach generated 94% fewer scaffolds with an 18-fold increase in N50 length (401 kb) and increased the genome completeness by an additional 16%. A total of 27 240 high-quality protein-coding genes were predicted from the clown anemonefish, 26 211 (96%) of which were annotated functionally with information from either sequence homology or protein signature searches.ConclusionsWe present the first genome of any anemonefish and demonstrate the value of low coverage (∼11×) long Nanopore read sequencing in improving both genome assembly contiguity and completeness. The near-complete assembly of the A. ocellaris genome will be an invaluable molecular resource for supporting a range of genetic, genomic, and phylogenetic studies specifically for clownfish and more generally for other related fish species of the family Pomacentridae.

Project description:BackgroundWe benchmarked the hybrid assembly approaches of MaSuRCA, SPAdes, and Unicycler for bacterial pathogens using Illumina and Oxford Nanopore sequencing by determining genome completeness and accuracy, antimicrobial resistance (AMR), virulence potential, multilocus sequence typing (MLST), phylogeny, and pan genome. Ten bacterial species (10 strains) were tested for simulated reads of both mediocre- and low-quality, whereas 11 bacterial species (12 strains) were tested for real reads.ResultsUnicycler performed the best for achieving contiguous genomes, closely followed by MaSuRCA, while all SPAdes assemblies were incomplete. MaSuRCA was less tolerant of low-quality long reads than SPAdes and Unicycler. The hybrid assemblies of five antimicrobial-resistant strains with simulated reads provided consistent AMR genotypes with the reference genomes. The MaSuRCA assembly of Staphylococcus aureus with real reads contained msr(A) and tet(K), while the reference genome and SPAdes and Unicycler assemblies harbored blaZ. The AMR genotypes of the reference genomes and hybrid assemblies were consistent for the other five antimicrobial-resistant strains with real reads. The numbers of virulence genes in all hybrid assemblies were similar to those of the reference genomes, irrespective of simulated or real reads. Only one exception existed that the reference genome and hybrid assemblies of Pseudomonas aeruginosa with mediocre-quality long reads carried 241 virulence genes, whereas 184 virulence genes were identified in the hybrid assemblies of low-quality long reads. The MaSuRCA assemblies of Escherichia coli O157:H7 and Salmonella Typhimurium with mediocre-quality long reads contained 126 and 118 virulence genes, respectively, while 110 and 107 virulence genes were detected in their MaSuRCA assemblies of low-quality long reads, respectively. All approaches performed well in our MLST and phylogenetic analyses. The pan genomes of the hybrid assemblies of S. Typhimurium with mediocre-quality long reads were similar to that of the reference genome, while SPAdes and Unicycler were more tolerant of low-quality long reads than MaSuRCA for the pan-genome analysis. All approaches functioned well in the pan-genome analysis of Campylobacter jejuni with real reads.ConclusionsOur research demonstrates the hybrid assembly pipeline of Unicycler as a superior approach for genomic analyses of bacterial pathogens using Illumina and Oxford Nanopore sequencing.

Project description:BackgroundThe prevalence of multidrug-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae is increasingly being implicated worldwide in a variety of infections with high mortalities. Here, we report the complete genome sequence of K. pneumoniae strain KP58, a pandrug-resistant K. pneumoniae strain that exhibits high levels of resistance to colistin and tigecycline in China.MethodsThe K. pneumoniae strain KP58 was recovered from a urine sample of a female patient hospitalized in a tertiary hospital in Hangzhou, China. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was performed and the minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) were determined. Whole-genome sequencing was performed using Illumina and Oxford nanopore sequencing technologies. Genomic features, antimicrobial resistance genes and virulence genes were comprehensively analysed by various bioinformatics approaches. In addition, genomic epidemiological and phylogenetic analyses of K. pneumoniae KP58 and closely related isolates were performed using the core genome multilocus sequence typing (cgMLST) analysis in BacWGSTdb, an online bacterial whole-genome sequence typing and source tracking database.ResultsK. pneumoniae KP58 was resistant to all antimicrobial agents tested, including tigecycline and colistin. Combining the two sequencing technologies allowed a high-quality complete genome sequence of K. pneumoniae KP58 comprising one circular chromosome and five circular plasmids to be obtained. This strain harbours a variety of acquired antimicrobial resistance and virulence determinants. It also carried an ISKpn26-like insertion in the disrupted mgrB gene, which confers colistin resistance. The tigecycline resistance was associated with overexpression of the AcrAB efflux system. The closest relative of K. pneumoniae KP58 was another clinical isolate recovered from Hangzhou that differed by only 10 cgMLST loci.ConclusionThe dataset presented in this study provides essential insights into the evolution of antimicrobial-resistant K. pneumoniae in hospital settings and assists in the development of effective control strategies. Appropriate surveillance and control measures are essential to prevent its further dissemination.
