Abstract The trichothecene 3-O-acetyltransferase gene (FgTri101) required for trichothecene production by Fusarium graminearum is located between the phosphate permease gene (pho5) and the UTP-ammonia ligase gene (ura7). We have cloned and sequenced the pho5-to-ura7 regions from three trichothecene nonproducing Fusarium (i.e., F. oxysporum, F. moniliforme, and Fusarium species IFO 7772) that belong to the teleomorph genus Gibberella. BLASTX analysis of these sequences revealed portions of predicted polypeptides with high similarities to the TRI101 polypeptide. While FspTri101 (Fusarium species Tri101) coded for a functional 3-O-acetyltransferase, FoTri101 (F. oxysporum Tri101) and FmTri101 (F. moniliforme Tri101) were pseudogenes. Nevertheless, F. oxysporum and F. moniliforme were able to acetylate C-3 of trichothecenes, indicating that these nonproducers possess another as yet unidentified 3-O-acetyltransferase gene. By means of cDNA expression cloning using fission yeast, we isolated the responsible FoTri201 gene from F. oxysporum; on the basis of this sequence, FmTri201 has been cloned from F. moniliforme by PCR techniques. Both Tri201 showed only a limited level of nucleotide sequence similarity to FgTri101 and FspTri101. The existence of Tri101 in a trichothecene nonproducer suggests that this gene existed in the fungal genome before the divergence of producers from nonproducers in the evolution of Fusarium species.

Background: The analysis of DNA nucleotide sequence similarity among different species is crucial in identifying their functional, structural or evolutionary relationships. The number of bioinformatics tools designed to perform the similarity analysis of nucleotide sequences has been growing rapidly. According to the current literature, alignment-free methods ha-ven’t been performed on nucleotide sequence repeats of different lengths. Objective: To develop a new algorithm for determining sequence characteristics and similarity based on statistically signifi-cant repetitive elements of different lengths, which are located in analyzed sequences. Method: This paper presents Repeats-Position/Frequency method (R-P/F method), for determining nucleotide sequence similarity which takes into consideration statistically significant repetitive parts of analyzed sequences. It is based on infor-mation theory and the fact that both position and frequency of repeated sequences are not expected to occur with the identical presence in a random sequence of the same length. Nucleotide sequences are presented in rn-dimensional vector space and their hierarchy is constructed by applying hierarchical clustering algorithm. Results: R-P/F method has been validated on multiple data sets of nucleotide sequences and compared with results obtained from alignment-based algorithms BLAST and Clustal Omega, and multiple well-established alignment-free dissimilarity measures. Presented method provides results comparable with other commonly used methods focused on resolving the same problem, with the new view on the used repetitive parts of sequences in these calculations. Conclusion: The presented, novel algorithm for calculating sequence similarity measure is effective in discovering relation-ships among the sequences and makes a powerful and complementary addition to existing sequence similarity methods.

ABSTRACT We report the complete genome sequences of 19 cluster CA bacteriophages isolated from environmental samples using Rhodococcus erythropolis as a host. All of the phages are Siphoviridae, have similar genome lengths (46,314 to 46,985 bp) and G+C contents (58.5 to 58.8%), and share nucleotide sequence similarity.

AbstractThe public health importance of Kudoa infection in fish remains unclear. Recently in Japan a Kudoa species, K. septempunctata, was newly implicated as a causative agent of unidentified food poisoning related to the consumption of raw olive flounder. Other marine fishery products are also suspected as causative raw foods of unidentified food poisoning. For this study, we detected kudoid parasites from sliced raw muscle tissues of a young Pacific bluefin and an adult yellowfin tuna. No cyst or pseudocyst was evident in muscles macroscopically, but pseudocysts were detected in both samples histologically. One substitution (within 1100 bp overlap) and ten substitutions (within 753 bp overlap) were found respectively between the partial sequences of 18S and 28S rDNAs from both isolates. Nucleotide sequence similarity searching of 18S and 28S rDNAs from both isolates showed the highest identity with those of K. neothunni from tuna. Based on the spore morphology, the mode of parasitism, and the nucleotide sequence similarity, these isolates from a Pacific bluefin and a yellowfin tuna were identified as K. neothunni. Phylogenetic analysis of the 28S rDNA sequence revealed that K. neothunni is classifiable into two genotypes: one from Pacific bluefin and the other from yellowfin tuna. Recently, an unidentified kudoid parasite morphologically and genetically similar K. neothunni were detected from stocked tuna samples in unidentified food poisoning cases in Japan. The possibility exists that K. neothunni, especially from the Pacific bluefin tuna, causes food poisoning, as does K. septempunctata.

The aim of this study was to identify isolates of Rhizoctonia solani causing hypocotyl rot and foliar blight in soybean (Glycine max) in Brazil by the nucleotide sequences of ITS-5.8S regions of rDNA. The 5.8S rDNA gene sequence (155 bp) was highly conserved among all isolates but differences in length and nucleotide sequence of the ITS1 and ITS2 regions were observed between soybean isolates and AG testers. The similarity of the nucleotide sequence among AG-1 IA isolates, causing foliar blight, was 95.1-100% and 98.5-100% in the ITS1 and ITS2 regions, respectively. The nucleotide sequence similarity among subgroups IA, IB and IC ranged from 84.3 to 89% in ITS1 and from 93.3 to 95.6% in ITS2. Nucleotide sequence similarity of 99.1% and 99.3-100% for ITS1 and ITS2, respectively, was observed between AG-4 soybean isolates causing hypocotyl rots and the AG-4 HGI tester. The similarity of the nucleotide sequence of the ITS-5.8S rDNA region confirmed that the R. solani Brazilian isolates causing foliar blight are AG-1 IA and isolates causing hypocotyl rot symptoms are AG-4 HGI. The ITS-5.8S rDNA sequence was not determinant for the identification of the AG-2-2 IIIB R. solani soybean isolate.

We investigated the genomic properties of a rotavirus A strain isolated from diarrheic pheasant poults in Hungary in 2015. Sequence analyses revealed a shared genomic constellation (G23-P[37]-I4-R4-C4-M4-A16-N10-T4-E4-H4) and close relationship (range of nucleotide sequence similarity: VP2, 88%; VP1 and NSP4, 98%) with another pheasant rotavirus strain isolated previously in Germany.

We describe the genomes of two mycobacteriophages, MosMoris and Gattaca, newly isolated on Mycobacterium smegmatis . The two phages are very similar to each other, differing in 61 single nucleotide polymorphisms and six small insertion/deletions. Both have extensive nucleotide sequence similarity to mycobacteriophage Marvin and together form cluster S.
