Unitig level assembly graph based metagenome-assembled genome refiner (UGMAGrefiner): A tool to increase completeness and resolution of metagenome-assembled genomes.

Project description:De novo assembly of next generation metagenomic reads is widely used to provide taxonomic and functional information of genomes in a microbial community. As strains are functionally specific, recovery of strain-resolved genomes is important but still a challenge. Unitigs and assembly graphs are mid-products generated during the assembly of reads into contigs, and they provide higher resolution for sequences connection information. In this study, we propose a new approach UGMAGrefiner (a unitig level assembly graph-based metagenome-assembled Genome refiner), which uses the connection and coverage information from unitig level assembly graphs to recruit unbinned unitigs to MAGs, adjust binning result, and infer unitigs shared by multiple MAGs. In two simulated datasets (Simdata and CAMI data) and one real dataset (GD02), it outperforms two state-of-the-art assembly graph-based binning refine tools in the refinement of MAGs' quality by stably increasing the completeness of genomes. UGMAGrefiner can identify genome specific clusters of genomes with below 99% average nucleotide identity for homologous sequences. For MAGs mixed with 99% similarity genome clusters, it could distinguish 8 out of 9 genomes in Simdata and 8 out of 12 genomes in CAMI data. In GD02 data, it could identify 16 new unitig clusters representing genome specific regions of mixed genomes and 4 unitig clusters representing new genomes from total 135 MAGs for further functional analysis. UGMAGrefiner provides an efficient way to obtain more complete MAGs and study genome specific functions. It will be useful to improve taxonomic and functional information of genomes after de novo assembly.

Comparative Metagenome-Assembled Genome Analysis of "Candidatus Lachnocurva vaginae", Formerly Known as Bacterial Vaginosis-Associated Bacterium-1 (BVAB1).

Project description:Bacterial vaginosis-associated bacterium 1 (BVAB1) is an as-yet uncultured bacterial species found in the human vagina that belongs to the family Lachnospiraceae within the order Clostridiales. As its name suggests, this bacterium is often associated with bacterial vaginosis (BV), a common vaginal disorder that has been shown to increase a woman's risk for HIV, Chlamydia trachomatis, and Neisseria gonorrhoeae infections as well as preterm birth. BVAB1 has been further associated with the persistence of BV following metronidazole treatment, increased vaginal inflammation, and adverse obstetrics outcomes. There is no available complete genome sequence of BVAB1, which has made it difficult to mechanistically understand its role in disease. We present here a circularized metagenome-assembled genome (cMAG) of BVAB1 as well as a comparative analysis including an additional six metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) of this species. These sequences were derived from cervicovaginal samples of seven separate women. The cMAG was obtained from a metagenome sequenced with long-read technology on a PacBio Sequel II instrument while the others were derived from metagenomes sequenced on the Illumina HiSeq platform. The cMAG is 1.649 Mb in size and encodes 1,578 genes. We propose to rename BVAB1 to "Candidatus Lachnocurva vaginae" based on phylogenetic analyses, and provide genomic and metabolomic evidence that this candidate species may metabolize D-lactate, produce trimethylamine (one of the chemicals responsible for BV-associated odor), and be motile. The cMAG and the six MAGs are valuable resources that will further contribute to our understanding of the heterogeneous etiology of bacterial vaginosis.

Metagenome-assembled genome (MAG) of Oceancaulis alexandrii NP7 isolated from Mediterranean Sea polluted marine sediments and its bioremediation potential.

Project description:Oceanicaulis alexandrii strain NP7 is a marine bacterium which belongs to the Hyphomonadaceae family and was isolated from sediments highly contaminated with metals and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons released for decades by industrial activities in the Gulf of Naples (Mediterranean Sea). Here, we report the partial genome sequence and annotation of O. alexandrii strain NP7 that contains a chromosome of 2,954,327 bp and encodes for 2914 predicted coding sequences (CDSs) and 44 RNA-encoding genes. Although the presence of some CDSs for genes involved in hydrocarbon degradation processes (e.g., alkB) have already been described in the literature associated with the Oceanicaulis, this is the first time that more than 100 genes involved in metal detoxification processes and hydrocarbon degradation are reported belonging to this genus. The presence of a heterogeneous set of genes involved in stress response, hydrocarbon degradation, heavy metal resistance, and detoxification suggests a possible role for O. alexandrii NP7 in the bioremediation of these highly contaminated marine sediments.

Metagenome-assembled genomes of deep-sea sediments: changes in microbial functional potential lag behind redox transitions.

Project description:Hadal sediments are hotspots of microbial activity in the deep sea and exhibit strong biogeochemical gradients. But although these gradients are widely assumed to exert selective forces on hadal microbial communities, the actual relationship between biogeochemistry, functional traits, and microbial community structure remains poorly understood. We tested whether the biogeochemical conditions in hadal sediments select for microbes based on their genomic capacity for respiration and carbohydrate utilization via a metagenomic analysis of over 153 samples from the Atacama Trench region (max. depth = 8085 m). The obtained 1357 non-redundant microbial genomes were affiliated with about one-third of all known microbial phyla, with more than half belonging to unknown genera. This indicated that the capability to withstand extreme hydrostatic pressure is a phylogenetically widespread trait and that hadal sediments are inhabited by diverse microbial lineages. Although community composition changed gradually over sediment depth, these changes were not driven by selection for respiratory or carbohydrate degradation capability in the oxic and nitrogenous zones, except in the case of anammox bacteria and nitrifying archaea. However, selection based on respiration and carbohydrate degradation capacity did structure the communities of the ferruginous zone, where aerobic and nitrogen respiring microbes declined exponentially (half-life = 125-419 years) and were replaced by subsurface communities. These results highlight a delayed response of microbial community composition to selective pressure imposed by redox zonation and indicated that gradual changes in microbial composition are shaped by the high-resilience and slow growth of microbes in the seafloor.
