Project description:Metagenome data from soil samples were collected at 0 to 10cm deep from 2 avocado orchards in Channybearup, Western Australia, in 2024. Amplicon sequence variant (ASV) tables were constructed based on the DADA2 pipeline with default parameters.
Project description:Metagenome sequencing All specimens were collected and immediately stored in a -80 freezer. All BALF samples were subjected to MS. DNA was extracted from BALF using the TIANamp Micro DNA kit (DP316, Tiangen Biotech). DNA libraries were constructed with the end-repair method and then sequenced on the BGI Sequencer platform (BGI Genomics, Shenzhen, China). Bioinformatic pipeline analysis Low-quality and short (<35 bp) reads were removed from raw data using fastp [10]. Remaining reads were mapped to the human reference genome (hg19) using the Burrows-Wheeler method to remove sequences of human origin. Filtered reads were classified with RefSeq, downloaded from NCBI (ftp://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/genomes/).
Project description:Nanosynbacter lyticus type strain TM7x was the first cultivated member of the broadly prevelent, but poorly udnerstood Candidate Phylum Radiation super-phylum. TM7x was shown to be an obligate epibiont with a host range including Schaalia odontolyticus strain XH001. The process of infecting a naive host goes through multiple phases, from an initial binding and interaction phase we call the initial encounter, to a rapid die off of infected host cells, killing phase, followed by regrowth of the host cells, regrowth phase, and finally a stable symbiosis between the species, stable symbiosis.To obtain a better understanding of the process by which these species establish a stable symbiosis, we measured the transcriptome using RNA sequencing across the course of infection. We sampled infected host, XH001/TM7x, during the initial interaction, regrowth, and after attaining stable symbiosis, as well as naive host controls grown under the same culture conditions.
