Hindgut Nasutitermes (Costa Rica)

Fungus-growing Termite worker from South Africa

The beetles bore through pine bark to eat and lay their eggs; the fungus spreads inside the bark and « pre-digests » the

wood. SAMPLING: GALLERIESMountain Pine Beetle from McBride, British Columbia, Canada

Xyleborus affinis (Coleoptera, Curculionidae) from Bern, Switzerland,

Dendroctonus frontalis (Coleoptera, Curculionidae) from Southern Mississipi

Food: dead plant material (wood,fungi growing on dead leaves). SAMPLING:HINDGUT

MICROFLORA ASSOCIATED WITH WOOD-FEEDING INSECTS

METADATA NOT DETAILED ENOUGH

Our Questions● Phylogenetic diversity

● Who are there?

● Is there a core set of taxa?

● Genes/Pathways of interest

● Cellulose degradation enzymes in action??

● Nitrogen fixation genes in play?

● Who is there?





Phylogenetic analysis based on • % identity: 30-59%• estimated gene copies that fall within each category

-> only Coleoptera genome in the database ;-)

55% genes match with Coleoptera, Tenebrionidae, Tribolium castaneum = not the right bug!!

Very little eukaryotic DNA contamination

0.54% = Methanomicrobia (Methanocellales, Methanomicrobiales, Methanosarcinales

0.16% = Methanomicrobia (Methanocellales, Methanomicrobiales, Methanosarcinales

uncl. Spirochaeta and Treponema, N2-fixing organisms, acetogens (CO2, H2 -> acetate)

All Fibrobacter succinogenes: cellulolytic anaerobic bacterium (not in other termite)

13.4%= anaerobic, fermentative bacteria (Clostridium sp., Acetivibrio cellulolyticus, Lachnospiraceae, Ruminococcaceae etc.)

Bacteroidiia (Bacteroides sp. = carbohydrate fermenters) and Sphingobacteriia (Mucilaginibacter= facultative aerobic, xylan, pectin-degrading)

Sphingobacteriia (Sphingobacterium spiritivorum = facultative aerobe, alcohol-oxidizing <- HMP)

Desulfo-xx (not in beetle samples)

Comamonadaceae + Burkholderiaceae (beetles)

Termites:1) Enterobacteriales(E.coli, Klebsiella, Salmonella sp.) – 2) Pseudomonadales (Pseudomonas spp.)+ Nasutitermes: Alteromonadales (Shewanella sp.)

?

Beetles : 1) Pseudomonadales (Pseudomonas spp.)- 2) Enterobacteriales(E.coli, Klebsiella, Salmonella sp.)

● In the termite hindgut (yellow), most are contributions from

● Gammaproteobacteria

● Actinobacteria

● Spirochaetes

● Unclassified

● K03737 (putative pyruvate-flavodoxin oxidoreductase) is present in all metagenomes

Summary - perspectives● Phylogenetic diversity

● Consistent with host lifestyle

● Is there a core set of taxa? TBD (+ phylogenetic COG markers?)


● PFAMs for cellulose degradation enzymes were found

● Nitrogen fixation genes present

● Suggestions● More meta data!!

● Compatibility of file system datasets (Bankia)

● More time for data analysis (great collective exercise, but 1 day is not enough)

Thank you!!
