Genome Sequences of Lactobacillus sp. Strains wkB8 and wkB10, Members of the Firm-5 Clade, from Honey Bee Guts
نویسندگان
چکیده
We sequenced two strains from the Lactobacillus Firm-5 clade, a dominant group of symbionts in the guts of honey bees and other social bees. The genome of strain wkB8, comprising a 1.93-Mb chromosome and a 6.4-kb plasmid, was fully closed, while strain wkB10 was assembled into 32 contigs. These genomes will provide insights into how gut symbionts evolve and interact with their host species.

Draft genome sequences of two Bifidobacterium sp. from the honey bee (Apis mellifera)
BACKGROUND Widely considered probiotic organisms, Bifidobacteria are common inhabitants of the alimentary tract of animals including insects. Bifidobacteria identified from the honey bee are found in larval guts and throughout the alimentary tract, but attain their greatest abundance in the adult hind gut. To further understand the role of Bifidobacteria in honey bees, we sequenced two strains ...
متن کاملDraft Genome Sequences of Saccharibacter sp. Strains 3.A.1 and M18 Isolated from Honey and a Honey Bee (Apis mellifera) Stomach
The annotated draft genome sequences of two recent Saccharibacter sp. strains isolated from honey and a honey bee stomach in 2014 are reported here. Currently, two Saccharibacter whole-genome sequences are available in databases; thus, the sequences of our new isolates will contribute to a better understanding of Saccharibacter genomes.
متن کاملGenome sequencing and analysis of the first complete genome of Lactobacillus kunkeei strain MP2, an Apis mellifera gut isolate.
Background. The honey bee (Apis mellifera) is the most important pollinator in agriculture worldwide. However, the number of honey bees has fallen significantly since 2006, becoming a huge ecological problem nowadays. The principal cause is CCD, or Colony Collapse Disorder, characterized by the seemingly spontaneous abandonment of hives by their workers. One of the characteristics of CCD in hon...
متن کاملMicrobial Gut Diversity of Africanized and European Honey Bee Larval Instars
The first step in understanding gut microbial ecology is determining the presence and potential niche breadth of associated microbes. While the core gut bacteria of adult honey bees is becoming increasingly apparent, there is very little and inconsistent information concerning symbiotic bacterial communities in honey bee larvae. The larval gut is the target of highly pathogenic bacteria and fun...
متن کاملTwo Draft Genome Sequences of Sphingobacterium sp. Strains Isolated from Honey
Here, we report two annotated draft genome sequences of Sphingobacterium sp. strains isolated from honey. The genomes of strains 1.A.4 and 1.A.5 show a limited similarity to each other and to genomes of other Sphingobacterium species, indicating that these isolates may represent new species.
