Phylogenetic position and in situ identification of ectosymbiotic spirochetes on protists in the termite gut.
Phylogenetic relationships, diversity, and in situ identification of spirochetes in the gut of the termite Neotermes koshunensis were examined without cultivation, with an emphasis on ectosymbionts attached to flagellated protists. Spirochetes in the gut microbial community investigated so far are related to the genus Treponema and divided into two phylogenetic clusters. In situ hybridizations ...
متن کاملComprehensive Phylogenetic Diversity of [FeFe]-Hydrogenase Genes in Termite Gut Microbiota
Phylogenetic diversity of [FeFe]-hydrogenase (HydA) in termite guts was assessed by pyrosequencing PCR amplicons obtained using newly designed primers. Of 8,066 reads, 776 hydA phylotypes, defined with 97% nucleotide sequence identity, were recovered from the gut homogenates of three termite species, Hodotermopsis sjoestedti, Reticulitermes speratus, and Nasutitermes takasagoensis. The phylotyp...
متن کاملRNA-Seq and microfluidic digital PCR identification of transcriptionally active spirochetes in termite gut microbial communities
CO2-reductive acetogenesis in termite hindguts is a bacterial process with significant impact on the nutrition of wood-feeding termites. Acetogenic spirochetes have been identified as key mediators of acetogenesis. Here, we use high-throughput, short transcript sequencing (RNA-Seq) and microfluidic, multiplex digital PCR to identify uncultured termite gut spirochetes transcribing genes for hydr...
متن کاملPhylogenetic foundation of spirochetes.
The spirochetes are free-living or host-associated, helical bacteria, some of which are pathogenic to man and animal. Comparisons of 16S rRNA sequences demonstrate that the spirochetes represent a monophyletic phylum within the bacteria. The spirochetes are presently classified in the Class Spirochaetes in the order Spirochetales and are divided into three major phylogenetic groupings, or famil...
