Project description:Few aerobic hyperthermophiles degrade polysaccharides. We describe the genome-enabled enrichment and isolation of an aerobic hyperthermophile, Fervidibacter sacchari, which was originally ascribed to candidate phylum Fervidibacteria. F. sacchari uses polysaccharides and monosaccharides as sole carbon sources from 65-87.5 °C, and its genome encodes 117 glycoside hydrolases (GHs) spanning 49 GH families, including 31 homologs of understudied GH109, GH177, and GH179 domains. Here, we analyzed the transcriptomes of F. sacchari cells grown on eight different sole carbon and energy sources (beta-glucan, chondroitin sulfate, corn stover, gellan gum, locust bean gum, starch, xanthan gum, and xyloglucan) to link glycoside hydrolase substrate to function, as well as identify potential regulatory mechanisms. These data will provide preliminary characterization of novel carbohydrate-active enzymes at high temperatures.

Project description:Most aphids are highly specialized on one or two related plant species and generalist species often include sympatric populations adapted to different host plants. Our aim was to test the hypothesis of the existence of host specialized lineages of the aphid Melanaphis sacchari in Reunion Island. To this end, we investigated the genetic diversity of the aphid and its association with host plants by analyzing the effect of wild sorghum Sorghum bicolor subsp. verticilliflorum or sugarcane as host plants on the genetic structuring of populations and by performing laboratory host transfer experiments to detect trade-offs in host use. Genotyping of 31 samples with 10 microsatellite loci enabled identification of 13 multilocus genotypes (MLG). Three of these, Ms11, Ms16 and Ms15, were the most frequent ones. The genetic structure of the populations was linked to the host plants. Ms11 and Ms16 were significantly more frequently observed on sugarcane, while Ms15 was almost exclusively collected in colonies on wild sorghum. Laboratory transfer experiments demonstrated the existence of fitness trade-offs. An Ms11 isofemale lineage performed better on sugarcane than on sorghum, whereas an Ms15 lineage developed very poorly on sugarcane, and two Ms16 lineages showed no significant difference in performances between both hosts. Both field and laboratory results support the existence of host plant specialization in M. sacchari in Reunion Island, despite low genetic differentiation. This study illustrates the ability of asexual aphid lineages to rapidly undergo adaptive changes including shifting from one host plant to another.

Project description:The sugarcane aphid, Melanaphis sacchari, is an agricultural pest that causes damage to plants in the Poaceae (the grasses) family, such as sorghum and sugarcane. In this study, we used nanopore long reads and a high-throughput chromosome conformation capture chromatin interaction maps to generate a chromosome-level assembly with a total length of 356.1 Mb, of which 85.5% (304.6 Mb) is contained within the 3 autosomes and the X chromosome. Repetitive sequences accounted for 16.29% of the chromosomes, and a total of 12,530 protein-coding genes were annotated, achieving 95.8% Benchmarking Universal Single-Copy Ortholog gene completeness. This offered a substantial improvement compared with previous low-quality genomic resources. A phylogenomic analysis by comparing M. sacchari with 24 published aphid genomes representing 3 aphid tribes revealed that M. sacchari belonged to the tribe Aphidini and maintained a conserved chromosome structure with other Aphidini species. The high-quality genomic resources reported in this study are useful for understanding the evolution of aphid genomes and studying pest management of M. sacchari.
