“…There is also evidence that they take part in the detoxification of plant allelochemicals ( Hammer and Bowers, 2015 ). The relationship between the genus Erwinia and B. oleae has been studied extensively as it is a prime example of the coevolution between an insect and its gut microbiome ( Capuzzo et al, 2005 ; Ben-Yosef et al, 2014 , 2015 ; Estes et al, 2014 ; Blow et al, 2016 ; Pavlidi et al, 2017 ). It is hypothesized that the close relationship with this bacterium allows B. oleae to exploit olives as a food source by detoxifying plant defense compounds ( Ben-Yosef et al, 2015 ) and providing additional nutrition ( Ben-Yosef et al, 2014 ).…”

Comparative Microbiomics of Tephritid Frugivorous Pests (Diptera: Tephritidae) From the Field: A Tale of High Variability Across and Within Species

et al. 2020

The family Tephritidae includes some of the most notorious insect pests of agricultural and horticultural crops in tropical and subtropical regions. Despite the interest in the study of their gut microbiome, our present knowledge is largely based on the analysis of laboratory strains. In this study, we present a first comparative analysis of the gut microbiome profiles of field populations of ten African and Mediterranean tephritid pests. For each species, third instar larvae were sampled from different locations and host fruits and compared using 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing and a multi-factorial sampling design. We observed considerable variation in gut microbiome diversity and composition both between and within fruit fly species. A "core" microbiome, shared across all targeted species, could only be identified at most at family level (Enterobacteriaceae). At genus level only a few bacterial genera (Klebsiella, Enterobacter, and Bacillus) were present in most, but not all, samples, with high variability in their relative abundance. Higher relative abundances were found for seven bacterial genera in five of the fruit fly species considered. These were Erwinia in Bactrocera oleae, Lactococcus in B. zonata, Providencia in Ceratitis flexuosa, Klebsiella, and Rahnella in C. podocarpi and Acetobacter and Serratia in C. rosa. With the possible exception of C. capitata and B. dorsalis (the two most polyphagous species considered) we could not detect obvious relationships between fruit fly dietary breadth and microbiome diversity or abundance patterns. Similarly, our results did not suggest straightforward differences between the microbiome profiles of species belonging to Ceratitis and the closely related Bactrocera/Zeugodacus. These results provide a first comparative analysis of the gut microbiomes of field populations of multiple economically relevant tephritids and provide base line information for future studies that will further investigate the possible functional role of the observed associations.

“…Due to a lack of phenotypic data, the nature of these interactions is not understood. However, the draft genome sequence of Stenotrophomonas maltophilia SBo1 presented here will aid future investigations into the mechanisms that underlie insect-microbe interactions and will contribute to a community-level examination of the B. oleae microbiota ( 11 ).…”

Conservation of Erwinia amylovora pathogenicity-relevant genes among Erwinia genomes

et al. 2017

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The Erwinia genus comprises species that are plant pathogens, non-pathogen, epiphytes, and opportunistic human pathogens. Within the genus, Erwinia amylovora ranks among the top 10 plant pathogenic bacteria. It causes the fire blight disease and is a global threat to commercial apple and pear production. We analyzed the presence/absence of the E. amylovora genes reported to be important for pathogenicity towards Rosaceae within various Erwinia strains genomes. This simple bottom-up approach, allowed us to correlate the analyzed genes to pathogenicity, host specificity, and make useful considerations to drive targeted studies.

Draft Genome Sequence of the Bactrocera oleae Symbiont “ Candidatus Erwinia dacicola”

Abstract: “Candidatus Erwinia dacicola” is a Gammaproteobacterium that forms a symbiotic association with the agricultural pest Bactrocera oleae. Here, we present a 2.1-Mb draft hybrid genome assembly for “Ca. Erwinia dacicola” generated from single-cell and metagenomic data.
