Genome sequence of the free-living aerobic spirochete Turneriella parva type strain (HT), and emendation of the species Turneriella parva

چکیده
Turneriella parva Levett et al. 2005 is the only species of the genus Turneriella which was established as a result of the reclassification of Leptospira parva Hovind-Hougen et al. 1982. Together with Leptonema and Leptospira, Turneriella constitutes the family Leptospiraceae, within the order Spirochaetales. Here we describe the features of this free-living aerobic spirochete together with the complete genome sequence and annotation. This is the first complete genome sequence of a member of the genus Turneriella and the 13(th) member of the family Leptospiraceae for which a complete or draft genome sequence is now available. The 4,409,302 bp long genome with its 4,169 protein-coding and 45 RNA genes is part of the G enomic E ncyclopedia of Bacteria and Archaea project.

Systematics of leptospiraceae.
Leptospires are spirochetes that may be free-living saprophytes found in freshwater or may cause acute or chronic infection of animals. The family Leptospiraceae comprises three genera: Leptospira Leptospira Leptonema Leptonema, and Turneriella Turneriella. Within the genus Leptospira, three clades can be distinguished, of pathogens, nonpathogens, and an intermediate group. Leptospires are furt...

Marine animals are among the most important sources of natural products with biological activities because of their secondary metabolites. Many compounds were extracted, purified, identified and studied for their antioxidant, cytotoxic, anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effects from sea cucumber However, very few investigations are available on Persian Gulf sea cucumbers. The antioxidant act...

Population structure of sea cucumber Holothuria parva in the coasts of Bushehr and Halileh from Persian Gulf was determined by 16S rRNA of mitochondrial genome sequencing in autumn and winter seasons of 2019. In Bushehr and Halileh populations, 2 and 4 haplotypes were identified out of 374 nucleotide sites, respectively, and haplotype 2 was the most abundant in Bushehr population and was observ...
متن کاملA Babesia bovis gene syntenic to Theileria parva p67 is expressed in blood and tick stage parasites.
Completion of the Babesia bovis (T2Bo strain) genome provides detailed data concerning the predicted proteome of this parasite, and allows for a bioinformatics approach to gene discovery. Comparative genomics of the hemoprotozoan parasites B. bovis and Theileria parva revealed a highly conserved syntenic block of genes flanking the p67 gene of T. parva, a sporozoite stage-specific vaccine candi...

Despite having different cell tropism, the pathogenesis and immunobiology of the diseases caused by Theileria parva and Theileria annulata are remarkably similar. Live vaccines have been available for both parasites for over 40 years, but although they provide strong protection, practical disadvantages have limited their widespread application. Efforts to develop alternative vaccines using defi...
