Abstract Ecosystems across the globe are threatened by climate change and human activities. New rapid survey approaches for monitoring biodiversity would greatly advance assessment understanding of these threats. Taking advantage next‐generation DNA sequencing, we tested an approach call metabarcoding: high‐throughput simultaneous taxa identification based on a very short (usually <100 base pairs) but informative fragment. Short fragments allow use degraded from environmental samples. All...

Here, we sequenced the 5,419,609 bp circular genome of an Enterobacter aerogenes clinical isolate that killed a patient and was resistant to almost all current antibiotics (except gentamicin) commonly used treat Enterobacterial infections, including colistin. Genomic phylogenetic analyses explain discrepancies this bacterium show its core originates from another genus, Klebsiella. Atypical characteristics (i.e., motility, presence ornithine decarboxylase, lack urease activity) are attributed...
Biogeographical studies have traditionally focused on readily visible organisms, but recent technological advances are enabling analyses of the large-scale distribution microscopic whose biogeographical patterns long been debated. Here we assessed global structure plankton geography and its relation to biological, chemical, physical context ocean (the ‘seascape’) by analyzing metagenomes communities sampled across oceans during Tara Oceans expedition, in light environmental data current...
Wolbachia are intracellular bacteria known to be facultative reproductive parasites of numerous arthropod hosts. Apart from these manipulations, recent findings indicate that may also modify the host's physiology, notably its immune function. In parasitoid wasp, Asobara tabida, is necessary for oogenesis completion, and aposymbiotic females unable produce viable offspring. The absence egg production associated with an increase in programmed cell death ovaries females, suggesting a mechanism...
Abstract Background Wolbachia are vertically transmitted bacteria known to be the most widespread endosymbiont in arthropods. They induce various alterations of reproduction their host, including feminization genetic males isopod crustaceans. In pill bug Armadillidium vulgare , presence is also associated with detrimental effects on host fertility and lifespan. Deleterious have been demonstrated hemocyte density, phenoloxidase activity, natural hemolymph septicemia, suggesting that infected...
