Reconciliation of sequence data and updated annotation of the genome of Agrobacterium tumefaciens C58, and distribution of a linear chromosome in the genus Agrobacterium.

چکیده
Two groups independently sequenced the Agrobacterium tumefaciens C58 genome in 2001. We report here consolidation of these sequences, updated annotation, and additional analysis of the evolutionary history of the linear chromosome, which is apparently limited to the biovar I group of Agrobacterium.

Theoretical Prediction and Experimental Verification of Protein-Coding Genes in Plant Pathogen Genome Agrobacterium tumefaciens Strain C58
Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain C58 is a Gram-negative soil bacterium capable of inducing tumors (crown galls) on many dicotyledonous plants. The genome of A. tumefaciens strain C58 was re-annotated based on the Z-curve method. First, all the 'hypothetical genes' were re-identified, and 29 originally annotated 'hypothetical genes' were recognized to be non-coding open reading frames (ORFs). Th...
متن کاملThe genome of the natural genetic engineer Agrobacterium tumefaciens C58.
The 5.67-megabase genome of the plant pathogen Agrobacterium tumefaciens C58 consists of a circular chromosome, a linear chromosome, and two plasmids. Extensive orthology and nucleotide colinearity between the genomes of A. tumefaciens and the plant symbiont Sinorhizobium meliloti suggest a recent evolutionary divergence. Their similarities include metabolic, transport, and regulatory systems t...
متن کاملCombined genetic and physical map of the complex genome of Agrobacterium tumefaciens.
A combined genetic and physical map of the Agrobacterium tumefaciens A348 (derivative of C58) genome was constructed to address the discrepancy between initial single-chromosome genetic maps and more recent physical mapping data supporting the presence of two nonhomologous chromosomes. The combined map confirms the two-chromosome genomic structure and the correspondence of the initial genetic m...
متن کاملGenomic Species Are Ecological Species as Revealed by Comparative Genomics in Agrobacterium tumefaciens
The definition of bacterial species is based on genomic similarities, giving rise to the operational concept of genomic species, but the reasons of the occurrence of differentiated genomic species remain largely unknown. We used the Agrobacterium tumefaciens species complex and particularly the genomic species presently called genomovar G8, which includes the sequenced strain C58, to test the h...
متن کاملUnconventional genomic organization in the alpha subgroup of the Proteobacteria.
Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis was used to analyze the genomic organization of 16 bacteria belonging or related to the family Rhizobiaceae of the alpha subgroup of the class Proteobacteria. The number and sizes of replicons were determined by separating nondigested DNA. Hybridization of an rrn gene probe was used to distinguish between chromosomes and plasmids. Members of the genus Agrobacter...
