Salmonella Pullorum strain SPullorum-YN-07 from dead embryos of Yanjin black-bone chickens: Complete genome with IncFII(S) and Col(pVC) plasmids and pathogenicity.

Salmonella Pullorum is a host-adapted pathogen that causes Pullorum disease in chickens and can be vertically transmitted via eggs, leading to embryonic mortality. The susceptibility and vertical transmission of S. Pullorum may vary among chicken breeds, yet genomic characterization of strains from dead embryos of indigenous breeds remains limited. This study isolated and characterized a Gram-negative short rod, designated Salmonella Pullorum strain SPullorum-YN-07, from dead embryos of Yanjin black-bone chickens, a native breed in Yunnan, China. The strain formed colorless colonies on MacConkey agar and red, non-H2S colonies on XLD agar, with biochemical reactions consistent with the genus Salmonella. Whole-genome sequencing using Illumina and PacBio platforms generated a complete genome consisting of one circular chromosome and four circular plasmids; plasmid replicon types IncFII(S) and Col(pVC) were identified in two of the plasmids. On the chromosome, a total of 340 virulence-associated genes were detected, including those involved in secretion systems, adhesion, motility, and immune modulation. Resistance gene analysis identified the acquired aminoglycoside resistance gene aac(6')-Iaa, alongside multiple intrinsic resistance determinants related to efflux pumps and target alteration. Multilocus sequence typing (MLST) assigned the strain to sequence type ST92, and core-genome phylogenetic analysis confirmed its clustering within the Salmonella Pullorum lineage. In a chick infection model, the strain induced depression, white diarrhea, and growth retardation, with clinical scores peaking at 10 days post-infection and a mortality rate of 10%. Bacterial colonization was highest in the cecum, and histopathological lesions were observed in the liver, spleen, and cecum. This study provides the first complete genomic characterization and pathogenicity assessment of an S. Pullorum strain isolated from dead embryos of Yanjin black-bone chickens, offering a foundation for understanding host-pathogen interactions in indigenous breeds and assessing cross-transmission risks to commercial poultry populations.

The first complete genome sequence of Ammi majus latent virus from the new natural host culantro.

A potyvirus (isolate AMLV-CQ) infecting culantro (Eryngium foetidum L.) imported from Vietnam was identified by RT-PCR. The complete genome sequence of AMLV-CQ was determined to be 9,549 nucleotides in length. It contains a large open reading frame encoding a 3,082-amino-acid putative polyprotein, flanked by 5´ and 3´ untranslated regions (UTRs) of 77 and 226 nt, respectively. AMLV-CQ is closely related to five other completely sequenced potyviruses, sharing 68-69% nucleotide and 69-70% amino acid sequence identity. However, the coat protein (CP) gene shares 89% nucleotide and 93% amino acid sequence identity with that of a partially sequenced potyvirus, Ammi majus latent virus (isolate AMLV-WF17). These results suggest that AMLV-CQ and AMLV-WF17 are isolates of the same species. To our knowledge, this is the first report of a complete genome sequence of an AMLV isolate, and culantro was identified as a new natural host for this virus. In addition, a one-step RT-PCR assay was developed that provides a rapid, robust, and highly sensitive approach for the detection of AMLV.

Complete genomes from a xenic Dolichospermum flosaquae FBCC-A233 culture reveal genome-inferred metabolic asymmetry with associated bacteria.

Cyanobacteria form phycosphere communities with associated bacteria, but genome-resolved resources are needed to formulate testable hypotheses about their metabolic interactions. Here, we reconstructed three complete circular genomes from a unialgal xenic culture, including Dolichospermum flosaquae FBCC-A233 and two associated alphaproteobacterial genomes assigned to Sphingorhabdus sp. and Brevundimonas sp. Genome-wide read mapping and genome-quality assessment supported the three recovered genomes as high-quality circular reconstructions. Comparative genome analysis placed the cyanobacterial genome within the Dolichospermum flosaquae species cluster under the GTDB framework, while the associated bacterial genomes represented Sphingorhabdus sp. and a putative undescribed Brevundimonas species-level lineage. Genome architecture analysis indicated reduced genome size and gene content in Brevundimonas relative to genus-level references although additional metrics did not support a strong conclusion of classical genome streamlining. Selected KEGG module and KO-level reconstructions indicated genome-inferred metabolic asymmetries across the consortium. FBCC-A233 encoded photosynthesis- and nitrogen-related modules and a BioU-mediated de novo biotin biosynthesis route, whereas the associated bacteria lacked complete de novo biotin biosynthesis but retained biotin-dependent carboxylase genes. FBCC-A233 also encoded extensive anaerobic corrinoid biosynthesis potential; however, canonical DMB-containing cobalamin completion, cobamide identity, and complete transporter systems were not resolved. Together, these complete genomes provide a genome-resolved resource for investigating genome-inferred metabolic differentiation and ecological interactions in cyanobacteria-associated bacterial consortia.IMPORTANCEPhycosphere interactions between cyanobacteria and associated bacteria can shape aquatic microbial communities, but many proposed interactions remain difficult to evaluate without genome-resolved resources. This study provides three complete circular genomes from a unialgal xenic Dolichospermum flosaquae culture, capturing the cyanobacterium and two co-maintained bacterial associates. Our analysis identifies genome-inferred metabolic asymmetries, particularly in biotin- and cobamide-related pathways. D. flosaquae FBCC-A233 encoded candidate de novo biotin and corrinoid biosynthesis capacity, whereas the associated bacteria lacked complete de novo pathways but retained cofactor-dependent enzymes. These findings nominate cofactor-related dependencies as experimentally testable hypotheses while emphasizing unresolved uptake, export, cobamide identity, and growth-dependence mechanisms. The complete genomes and KO-level reconstructions generated here provide a resource for future studies of cyanobacteria-associated consortia.

Discovery and characterization of complete genomes of 38 head-tailed proviruses in four predominant phyla of archaea.

Archaea play a significant role in natural ecosystems and the human body. Archaeal viruses exert a considerable influence on the structure and composition of archaeal communities and their associated ecological environments. The present study revealed the complete genomes of 38 archaeal head-tailed proviruses through comprehensive data mining. The hosts of these proviruses were identified as belonging to the following four dominant phyla: Halobacteriota, Thermoplasmatota, Thermoproteota, and Nanoarchaeota. In addition to the 14 proviruses of halophilic archaea related to the Graaviviridae family, the remaining proviruses exhibited limited genetic similarities to known (pro)viruses, suggesting the existence of 14 potential novel families. Of the 38 archaeal proviruses, 30 have the potential to lyse host cells. Eleven proviruses contain genes linked to antiviral defense mechanisms, including those involved in restriction modification (RM), clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat (CRISPR)-associated (CRISPR-Cas) nucleases, defense island system associated with restriction-modification (DISARM), and DNA degradation (Dnd). Moreover, auxiliary metabolic genes were identified in the proviruses of Bathyarchaeia and Halobacteriota archaea, including those involved in carbohydrate and amino acid metabolism. Our findings indicate the diversity of archaeal viruses, their interactions with archaeal hosts, and their roles in the adaptation of the host.IMPORTANCEThe field of archaeal virology has seen a rapid expansion through the use of metagenomics, yet the diversity of these viruses remains largely uncharted. In this study, the complete genomes of 38 novel archaeal proviruses were identified for the following four dominant phyla: Halobacteriota, Thermoplasmatota, Thermoproteota, and Nanoarchaeota. Two families and six genera of Archaea were the first to be identified as hosts for viruses. The proviruses were found to contain diverse genes that were involved in distinct adaptation strategies of viruses to hosts. Our findings contribute to the expansion of the lineages of archaeal viruses and highlight their intricate interactions and essential roles in enabling host survival and adaptation to diverse environmental conditions.
