  1. 1. Endosymbiosis of Frankia cluster-2

    Författare :Fede Berckx; Katharina Pawlowski; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; root nodule endosymbiosis; Frankia; Datisca glomerata; nitrogen fixation; actinorhizal; peptidoglycan; RT-qPCR;

    Sammanfattning : Actinobacteria of the genus Frankia engage in root endosymbiosis with actinorhizal plants belonging to the Fagales, Cucurbitales and Rosales. The genus Frankia consists of four different clades. Strains belonging to cluster-1, -2, and -3 exhibit host-specificity which plants they can nodulate, while cluster-4 strains do not engage in symbiosis. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Culture-independent methods and high-throughput sequencing applied to evolutionary microbial genomics

    Författare :Anders E. Lind; Thijs JG Ettema; Purificación López-García; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Single cell genomics; metagenomics; amplicon; archaea; haloarchaea; endosymbiosis; ciliate; hydrogenosome; tree reconciliation;

    Sammanfattning : Culture-independent methods allow us to better understand the diversity of microorganisms on earth. By omitting the culturing step, we can gain access to species previously out of our reach.To better capture and understand the diversity of microorganisms, we have developed an alternative to 16S amplicon sequencing.

  4. 3. Exploration of microbial diversity and evolution through cultivation independent phylogenomics

    Författare :Joran Martijn; Thijs J.G. Ettema; Andrew Roger; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; cultivation independent genomics; metagenomics; single-cell genomics; metagenomic binning; phylogenetics; phylogenomics; phylogenetic artefacts; comparative genomics; gene tree-species tree reconciliation; rRNA amplicon sequencing; Tara Oceans; origin of mitochondria; Alphaproteobacteria; Rickettsiales; Haloarchaea; endosymbiosis; Biologi med inriktning mot molekylär evolution; Biology with specialization in Molecular Evolution;

    Sammanfattning : Our understanding of microbial evolution is largely dependent on available genomic data of diverse organisms. Yet, genome-sequencing efforts have mostly ignored the diverse uncultivable majority in favor of cultivable and sociologically relevant organisms. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Expanding the Chlamydiae tree : Insights into genome diversity and evolution

    Författare :Jennah E. Dharamshi; Thijs J. G. Ettema; Alexander Probst; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; PVC superphylum; Chlamydiae; chlamydia; intracellular; symbiosis; endosymbiont; pathogen; marine sediment; sponge microbiome; metagenomics; uncultured microbial diversity; phylogenomics; microbial evolution; eukaryote evolution; Biologi med inriktning mot molekylär evolution; Biology with specialization in Molecular Evolution;

    Sammanfattning : Chlamydiae is a phylum of obligate intracellular bacteria. They have a conserved lifecycle and infect eukaryotic hosts, ranging from animals to amoeba. Chlamydiae includes pathogens, and is well-studied from a medical perspective. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Mitochondrial Evolution : Turning Bugs into Features

    Författare :Olof Karlberg; Siv Andersson; Michael Gray; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Biology; Biologi; Biology; Biologi;

    Sammanfattning : The bacterial origin of mitochondria from an ancient endosymbiosis is now widely accepted and the mitochondrial ancestor is generally believed to belong to the bacterial subdivision α-proteobacteria. The high fraction of mitochondrial proteins encoded in the nucleus has commonly been explained with a massive transfer of genes from the genome of the ancestral mitochondrion. LÄS MER
