Draft Genome Sequence of Pseudoalteromonas sp. Strain NW 4327 (MTCC 11073, DSM 25418), a Pathogen of the Great Barrier Reef Sponge Rhopaloeides odorabile
نویسندگان
چکیده
To date, only one marine sponge pathogen (Pseudoalteromonas sp. strain NW 4327) has fulfilled Koch's postulates. We report the 4.48-Mbp draft genome sequence of this strain, which is pathogenic to the Great Barrier Reef sponge Rhopaloeides odorabile. The sequence provides valuable information on sponge-pathogen interactions, including the mode of transmission and associated virulence factors.

Purification and Characterization of a Collagenolytic Enzyme from a Pathogen of the Great Barrier Reef Sponge, Rhopaloeides odorabile
BACKGROUND In recent years there has been a global increase in reports of disease affecting marine sponges. While disease outbreaks have the potential to seriously impact on the survival of sponge populations, the ecology of the marine environment and the health of associated invertebrates, our understanding of sponge disease is extremely limited. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS A collagenolyt...

In sessile marine invertebrates, larval settlement is fundamental to population maintenance and persistence. Cues contributing to the settlement choices and metamorphosis of larvae have important implications for the success of individuals and populations, but cues mediating larval settlement for many marine invertebrates are largely unknown. This study assessed larval settlement in two common ...

We present here the draft genome sequence of Pseudoalteromonas sp. strain PAB 2.2, isolated from water of Parcel de Abrolhos coral reef (17°57'32.7″; 38°30'20.3″), on Abrolhos Bank, at a depth of 12 m. The assembly consists of 4,434,635 bp and contains 40 contigs, with a G+C content of 41.60%.
متن کاملStrict thermal threshold identified by quantitative PCR in the sponge Rhopaloeides odorabile
In light of increasing sea surface temperatures, quantifying the expression of stressinducible genes in coastal organisms is imperative to identify early biomarkers of thermal stress. In the present study we developed a quantitative PCR (qPCR) assay to test the molecular response to heat stress in the Great Barrier Reef sponge Rhopaloeides odorabile. Suitable reference genes (coding for α-tubul...
متن کاملSponge-Microbe Associations Survive High Nutrients and Temperatures
Coral reefs are under considerable pressure from global stressors such as elevated sea surface temperature and ocean acidification, as well as local factors including eutrophication and poor water quality. Marine sponges are diverse, abundant and ecologically important components of coral reefs in both coastal and offshore environments. Due to their exceptionally high filtration rates, sponges ...
