Folsomia candida is a model in soil biology, belonging to the family of Isotomidae, subclass Collembola. It reproduces parthenogenetically presence Wolbachia, and exhibits remarkable physiological adaptations stress. To better understand these features life soil, we studied its genome context parthenogenetic lifestyle.We applied Pacific Bioscience sequencing assembly generate reference for F. 221.7 Mbp, comprising only 162 scaffolds. The complete endosymbiont was also assembled turned out be...
Collembola (springtails) are detritivorous hexapods that inhabit the soil and its litter layer. The ecology of springtail Orchesella cincta is extensively studied in context adaptation to anthropogenically disturbed areas. Here, we present a draft genome an O. reference strain with estimated size 286.8 Mbp, containing 20,249 genes. In total, 446 gene families expanded 1,169 evolved specific this lineage. Besides these involved general biological processes, observe clusters participating...
The springtail Folsomia candida is an important model organism for soil ecology, ecotoxicology and ecogenomics. decomposer activities of invertebrates like depend on their relationship with microbial communities including gut symbionts. In this paper, we apply high-throughput sequencing to provide a detailed characterization the bacterial community associated parthenogenetic F. candida. First, evaluated method suppress amplification DNA from endosymbiont Wolbachia, prevent it interfering...
Horizontal transfer of genes is widespread among prokaryotes, but less common between microorganisms and animals. Here, we present evidence for the presence a gene encoding functional isopenicillin N synthase, an enzyme in β-lactam antibiotics biosynthesis pathway, genome soil-living collembolan species, Folsomia candida (FcIPNS). At present, this only known from bacteria fungi, as capacity to produce antibiotics. The FcIPNS was located on two genomic contigs, physically linked predicted...
Abstract Beta‐lactam biosynthesis was thought to occur only in fungi and bacteria, but we recently reported the presence of isopenicillin N synthase a soil‐dwelling animal, Folsomia candida . However, it has remained unclear whether this gene is part larger beta‐lactam pathway how widespread occurrence penicillin among animals. Here, analysed distribution genes throughout animal kingdom identified cluster genome F. (Collembola), consisting ( IPNS ), δ‐(L‐α‐aminoadipoyl)‐L‐cysteinyl‐D‐valine...
ABSTRACT Recently, an active set of beta-lactam biosynthesis genes was reported in the genome arthropod springtail Folsomia candida (Collembola). Evidence provided that these were acquired through horizontal gene transfer. However, successful integration fungal- or bacterial-derived into metabolism animal requires precursor L-α-aminoadipic acid and a phosphopantetheinyl transferase for activation first enzyme pathway, δ-(L-α-aminoadipoyl)-L-cysteinyl-D-valine synthetase (ACVS). In this...
