Draft Genome Sequence of “Candidatus Hepatoplasma crinochetorum” Ps, a Bacterial Symbiont in the Hepatopancreas of the Terrestrial Isopod Porcellio scaber
نویسندگان
چکیده
"Candidatus Hepatoplasma crinochetorum" Ps is an extracellular symbiont residing in the hepatopancreas of the terrestrial isopod Porcellio scaber. Its genome is highly similar to that of the close relative "Ca. Hepatoplasma crinochetorum" Av from Armadillidium vulgare. However, instead of a clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat (CRISPR)-Cas system, it encodes a type I restriction modification system.

Phylogenomics of “Candidatus Hepatoplasma crinochetorum,” a Lineage of Mollicutes Associated with Noninsect Arthropods
Bacterial gut communities of arthropods are highly diverse and tightly related to host feeding habits. However, our understanding of the origin and role of the symbionts is often hindered by the lack of genetic information. "Candidatus Hepatoplasma crinochetorum" is a Mollicutes symbiont found in the midgut glands of terrestrial isopods. The only available nucleotide sequence for this symbiont ...
متن کاملBacterial communities in the hepatopancreas of different isopod species
This study aims to describe animal bacterial associations with culture independent methods. Bacterial communities in the hepatopancreas of the following 7 species of isopods (Pericaridea, Crustacea, Arthropoda) from 3 habitat types were investigated: 2 subtidal species Idotea baltica (IB) and I. wosnesenskii (IG); 2 intertidal species Ligia occidentalis (LO) and L. pallasii (LP), and 3 terrestr...
متن کاملTransformations of mercury in the terrestrial isopod Porcellio scaber (Crustacea).
The biological cycle of mercury in the terrestrial isopod Porcellio scaber was investigated. Testing the possibility of in vivo Hg(2+) methylation was divided into two methodologically different parts. Firstly, concentrations of total mercury and MeHg in isopods P. scaber and their environment from a Hg-unpolluted area were measured by the use of validated methods (CV AAS, CV AFS). The data obt...

Bacterial symbionts represent essential drivers of arthropod ecology and evolution, influencing host traits such as nutrition, reproduction, immunity, and speciation. However, the majority of work on arthropod microbiota has been conducted in insects and more studies in non-model species across different ecological niches will be needed to complete our understanding of host-microbiota interacti...
متن کاملPyrene Metabolites in the Hepatopancreas and Gut of the Isopod Porcellio Scaber, a New Biomarker for Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon Exposure in Terrestrial Ecosystems
The object of this study was to investigate the formation of pyrene metabolites by the isopod Porcellio scaber as a possible tool in the environmental risk assessment of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) exposure in terrestrial ecosystems. The formation of pyrene metabolites was studied after either pulse exposure to a single high dose, or prolonged exposure (14 d) to a lower dosage. Exposu...
