“…In the first version of our annotation, the S. turonicum Tab4c T genome contains 1,066 protein-coding genes and eight pseudogenes. Finally, the annotation of gene name and product description in this newly reported S. turonicum genome is more consistent with the majority of published Spiroplasma genomes ( 7 – 15 ).…”

“…In this work, we took advantage of the recent improvement in taxon sampling of available Spiroplasma genomes ( Ku et al 2014 ; Lo, Gasparich, et al 2015 ; Lo, Lai, et al 2015 ; Lo, Liu, et al 2015 ; Paredes et al 2015 ; Lo, Gasparich, et al 2016 ) to conduct a fine scale analysis of gene content evolution. Furthermore, we utilized strand-specific RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) to compare the gene expression of S. diminutum and S. taiwanense under different conditions of glucose availability.…”

Genetic differentiation among symbiotic bacteria is important in shaping biodiversity. The genus Spiroplasma contains species occupying diverse niches and is a model system for symbiont evolution. Previous studies have established that two mosquito-associated species have diverged extensively in their carbohydrate metabolism genes despite having a close phylogenetic relationship. Notably, although the commensal Spiroplasma diminutum lacks identifiable pathogenicity factors, the pathogenic Spiroplasma taiwanense was found to have acquired a virulence factor glpO and its associated genes through horizontal transfer. However, it is unclear if these acquired genes have been integrated into the regulatory network. In this study, we inferred the gene content evolution in these bacteria, as well as examined their transcriptomes in response to glucose availability. The results indicated that both species have many more gene acquisitions from the Mycoides-Entomoplasmataceae clade, which contains several important pathogens of ruminants, than previously thought. Moreover, several acquired genes have higher expression levels than the vertically inherited homologs, indicating possible functional replacement. Finally, the virulence factor and its functionally linked genes in S. taiwanense were up-regulated in response to glucose starvation, suggesting that these acquired genes are under expression regulation and the pathogenicity may be a stress response. In summary, although differential gene losses are a major process for symbiont divergence, gene gains are critical in counteracting genome degradation and driving diversification among facultative symbionts.

Mol.li.cu'tes. L. adj. mollis soft, pliable; L. fem. n. cutis skin; N.L. fem. pl. n. Mollicutes class with pliable cell boundary. Tenericutes / Mollicutes Within the phylum Tenericutes the class Mollicutes accommodates small wall‐less prokaryotes with small (usually 0.5–1.5 Mb) genomes and low (usually 25–30 mol%) G + C DNA . The genomes of more than 65 species have been completely sequenced and annotated to date. These bacteria are distributed among the orders Mycoplasmatales , Entomoplasmatales , Acholeplasmatales , and Anaeroplasmatales according to polyphasic taxonomic standards established and refined over many years by the International Committee on Systematics of Prokaryotes' Subcommittee on the Taxonomy of Mollicutes . The class is best known for its members in the genus Mycoplasma and related organisms that are commensals or parasites of humans, animals, insects, or plants. A number of “ Candidatus ” species have been proposed but not yet cultivated axenically. In the distant past, there was some risk of confusing mollicutes with wall‐less variants of other bacteria, but simple PCR ‐based analyses of 16S rRNA or other gene sequences now obviate that problem. Members of the Erysipelothrix line of descent, formerly grouped with the Mollicutes as “walled relatives,” are now assigned to the class Erysipelotrichi in the phylum Firmicutes . The proliferation in recent years of new names appearing in the literature to accommodate alleged novel taxa of mollicutes whose existence has been inferred principally from singular DNA sequences in metagenomic studies is a current concern.
