Draft Genome Sequences of Four Parasaccharibacter apium Strains Isolated from Honey Bees
نویسندگان
چکیده
Parasaccharibacter apium displays multiple ecological strategies in its honey bee host. We sequenced the genomes of four strains found in larvae and the adult gut in order to better understand its ecology and relationship to other Acetobacteraceae The P. apium genome consists of 2,009,892 bp and 1,830 protein-coding genes.

The honey bee, Apis mellifera L., is host to a variety of microorganisms. The bacterial community that occupies the adult worker gut contains a core group of approximately seven taxa, while the hive environment contains its own distribution of bacteria that is in many ways distinct from the gut. Parasaccharibacter apium, gen. nov., sp. nov., is a hive bacterium found in food stores and in larva...
متن کاملOrigin and effect of Alpha 2.2 Acetobacteraceae in honey bee larvae and description of Parasaccharibacter apium gen. nov., sp. nov.
The honey bee hive environment contains a rich microbial community that differs according to niche. Acetobacteraceae Alpha 2.2 (Alpha 2.2) bacteria are present in the food stores, the forager crop, and larvae but at negligible levels in the nurse and forager midgut and hindgut. We first sought to determine the source of Alpha 2.2 in young larvae by assaying the diversity of microbes in nurse cr...
متن کاملDraft Genome Sequences of Saccharibacter sp. Strains 3.A.1 and M18 Isolated from Honey and a Honey Bee (Apis mellifera) Stomach
The annotated draft genome sequences of two recent Saccharibacter sp. strains isolated from honey and a honey bee stomach in 2014 are reported here. Currently, two Saccharibacter whole-genome sequences are available in databases; thus, the sequences of our new isolates will contribute to a better understanding of Saccharibacter genomes.
متن کاملTwo Draft Genome Sequences of Sphingobacterium sp. Strains Isolated from Honey
Here, we report two annotated draft genome sequences of Sphingobacterium sp. strains isolated from honey. The genomes of strains 1.A.4 and 1.A.5 show a limited similarity to each other and to genomes of other Sphingobacterium species, indicating that these isolates may represent new species.
متن کاملDraft genome sequences of two Bifidobacterium sp. from the honey bee (Apis mellifera)
BACKGROUND Widely considered probiotic organisms, Bifidobacteria are common inhabitants of the alimentary tract of animals including insects. Bifidobacteria identified from the honey bee are found in larval guts and throughout the alimentary tract, but attain their greatest abundance in the adult hind gut. To further understand the role of Bifidobacteria in honey bees, we sequenced two strains ...
