We carried out a detailed investigation of PL7 alginate lyases across the Zobellia genus. The main findings were obtained using the methods of comparative genomics and spatial structure modeling, as well as a phylogenomic approach. Initially, in order to elucidate the alginolytic potential of Zobellia, we calculated the content of polysaccharide lyase (PL) genes in each genome. The genus-specific PLs were PL1, PL6, PL7 (the most abundant), PL14, PL17, and PL40. We revealed that PL7 belongs to subfamilies 3, 5, and 6. They may be involved in local and horizontal gene transfer and gene duplication processes. Most likely, an individual evolution of PL7 genes promotes the genetic variability of the Alginate Utilization System across Zobellia. Apparently, the PL7 alginate lyases may acquire a sub-functionalization due to diversification between in-paralogs.

AbstractAmmonia-oxidising archaea of the phylum Thaumarchaeota are keystone species in global nitrogen cycling. However, only three of the six known families of the terrestrially ubiquitous order Nitrososphaerales possess representative genomes. Here we provide genomes for the three remaining families and examine the impact of gene duplication, loss and transfer events across the entire phylum. Much of the genomic divergence in this phylum is driven by gene duplication and loss, but we also detected early lateral gene transfer that introduced considerable proteome novelty. In particular, we identified two large gene transfer events into Nitrososphaerales. The fate of gene families originating on these branches was highly lineage-specific, being lost in some descendant lineages, but undergoing extensive duplication in others, suggesting niche-specific roles within soil and sediment environments. Overall, our results suggest that lateral gene transfer followed by gene duplication drives Nitrososphaerales evolution, highlighting a previously under-appreciated mechanism of genome expansion in archaea.

Here, we present the complete genome sequence of the Wolbachia endosymbiont wAna, isolated from Drosophila ananassae and derived from Oxford Nanopore and Illumina sequencing. We anticipate that this will aid in Wolbachia comparative genomics and the assembly of D. ananassae specifically in regions containing extensive lateral gene transfer events.
