Dominant coral-associated Endozoicomonas bacteria species are hypothesized to play a role in the coral sulfur cycle by metabolizing dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP) into dimethylsulfide (DMS); however, no sequenced genome date harbors genes for this process. In study, we assembled high-quality (>95% complete) draft genomes of strains recently added acroporae (Acr-14
Bacteria commonly form aggregates in a range of coral species [termed coral-associated microbial (CAMAs)], although these structures remain poorly characterized despite extensive efforts studying the microbiome. Here, we comprehensively characterize CAMAs associated with Stylophora pistillata and quantify their cell abundance. Our analysis reveals that multiple Endozoicomonas phylotypes coexist inside single CAMA. Nanoscale secondary ion mass spectrometry imaging revealed cells were enriched...
The coral microbiome has been known to play a crucial role in host health. In recent years, we have that the changes response external stressors and hosts structure their host-specific manner.
Abstract Bacteria contribute to many physiological functions of coral holobionts, including responses bleaching. The bacterial genus, Endozoicomonas, dominates the microbial flora species and its abundance appears be correlated with However, evidences for decoupling bleaching Endozoicomonas changes have also been reported. In 2020, a severe event was recorded at reefs in Taiwan, providing unique opportunity re-examine bleaching-Endozoicomonas association using multiple stony corals natural...
Abstract Background Endozoicomonas is a widely distributed genus of marine bacteria, associated with various organisms, and recognized for its ecological importance in host health, nutrient cycling, disease dynamics. Despite significance, genomic features remain poorly characterized due to limited availability high-quality genome assemblies. Results In this study, we sequenced 5 novel strains re-sequenced 1 known strain improve resolution. By integrating these 6 genomes 31 others that were...
Endozoicomonas are often predominant bacteria and prominently important in coral health. Their role dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP) degradation has been a subject of discussion for over decade. A previous study found that degraded DMSP through the dddD pathway. This process releases dimethyl sulfide, which is vital corals coping with thermal stress. However, little known about related gene regulation metabolic abilities metabolism Endozoicomonadaceae. In this study, we isolated novel...
This study aimed to characterize the plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance (PMQR) in fluoroquinolone nonsusceptible E. coli (FQNSEC) isolated from patients with urinary tract infections (UTIs) 2019-2010 and 2020.A total of 844 isolates were collected UTI at National Cheng Kung University Hospital. The antimicrobial susceptibility 21 antibiotics was determined by disk diffusion tests. distribution phylogenetic groups, virulence factor, PMQR genes PCR. Conjugation assays performed investigate...
Abstract Bacteria in the coral microbiome play a crucial role determining health and fitness, host often restructures its composition response to external factors. An important but neglected factor this restructuring is capacity of members adapt new environment. To address issue, we examined how structure Acropora muricata corals changed over 9 months following reciprocal transplant experiment. Using combination metabarcoding, genomics, comparative genomics approaches, found that colonies...
Endozoicomonas euniceicola EF212T and gorgoniicola PS125T were isolated from soft corals (Eunicea fusca Plexaura sp., respectively) sequenced using a PacBio Sequel IIe sequencer. This is the first report of genome sequences culturable octocoral-isolated strains.
