Identification of a novel protein promoting the colonization and survival of Finegoldia magna, a bacterial commensal and opportunistic pathogen

Anaerobic bacteria dominate the human normal microbiota, but strikingly little is known about these commensals. Finegoldia magna is a Gram-positive anaerobe found in the skin and at other non-sterile body surfaces, but it is also an opportunistic pathogen. This study describes a novel protein designated FAF (F. magna adhesion factor) and expressed by more than 90% of F. magna isolates. The protein is present in substantial quantities at the F. magna surface but is also released from the surface. FAF forms large protein aggregates in solution and surface-associated FAF causes bacterial clumping. In skin F. magna bacteria were localized to the epidermis, where they adhere to basement membranes. FAF was found to mediate this adhesion via interactions with BM-40, a basement membrane protein. The biological significance of FAF is further underlined by the observation that it blocks the activity of LL-37, a major human antibacterial peptide. Altogether, the data demonstrate that FAF plays an important role in colonization and survival of F. magna in the human host.     

Neuronal connectivity patterns in the compound eyes of Artemia salina and Daphnia magna (Crustacea: Branchiopoda)

The neuronal types and patterns in the visual system of the species Artemia salina and Daphina magna have been studied with the Golgi method and electron microscopy. The lamina contains five classes of neurons: photoreceptor axons, monopolar, centrifugal, tangential and amacrine neurons. The terminals of the receptor axons are distributed in two (A. salina) or three (D. magna) layers. The dilated terminals have an extensive and wide array of fine branches. One axon from each ommatidium bypasses the lamina and terminates in the medula in A. salina. A. salina has four types of monopolar neurons, two of which are stratified, whereas in D. magna only two types are found, one of which is bistratified. Tangential T-neurons connect the lamina with the protocerebrum. D. magna has in addition one tangential T-neuron connecting both the lamina and the medulla with the protocerebrum. In both species monopolar-type centrifugal neurons connect the medulla and the lamina, whereas that of A. salina has a wide laminar distribution. Both species also have amacrine cells in the lamina. The medulla contains, besides those shared with the lamina, transmedullary neurons (two types in A. salina), amacrine cells and neurons originating in the protocerebrum. "Cartridge"-type synaptic compartments are lacking in the investigated species, although a periodic arrangement is discernible in the distal portion of the lamina of A. salina. The receptors from three types of specialized contacts in Artemia, one of which involves a dyad. D. magna has only one-to-one synapses. Neurosecretory fibres are absent in A. salina.

Low Genetic Diversity In Willaertia Magna From Wide Geographical Sources, and Characterisation of Willaertia Minor N. Sp. (Heterolobosea, Vahlkampfidae)

ABSTRACT. Twelve isolates assigned to Willaertia magna by morphological and physiological criteria, including the type material, were characterised at 23 enzyme-encoding loci. Isolates from Australia, Bangladesh, Belgium, England, France, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Madagascar and Papua New Guinea showed fixed alleles at 18 loci and polymorphism at Acp, Lap, Me, 6Pgd and Pgm 1. the maximum difference in pairwise comparisons was 8.7%, consistent with intra-specific variation in the related genus Naegleria. an additional isolate, assigned to Willaertia by features of its flagellate and cyst stages, represents a new species. Willaertia minor n. sp. shares alleles with W. magna at only three loci, has a maximum growth temperature of 38°C and is significantly smaller in all stages than W. magna. Flagellates appear to divide only once and fail to replace the lost flagella, producing biflagellate daughter cells. Cysts and trophozoites are more readily mistaken for Naegleria , but lack perinuclear granules, as do the mature cysts of W. magna.     

Bacterial artificial chromosome library of Finegoldia magna ATCC 29328 for genetic mapping and comparative genomics

We constructed a bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) library of Finegoldia magna ATCC 29328 DNA to facilitate further genome analysis of F. magna. The BAC library contained 385 clones with an average insert size of 55 kb, representing a 10.1-fold genomic coverage. Repeated DNA hybridization using primer sets designed on the basis of BAC-end sequences yielded nine contigs covering 95% of the chromosome and two contigs covering 98% of the plasmid. The contigs were localized on the physical map of F. magna ATCC 29328 DNA. A total of 121 BAC-end sequences revealed 103 unique genes, which had not been previously reported for F. magna. The homolog ORF of albumin-binding protein (urPAB), one of the known virulence factors from F. magna, was sequenced and localized on the physical map. Homology analysis of 121 BAC-end sequences revealed that F. magna is most closely related to clostridia, particularly Clostridium tetani. This close relationship is consistent with the recent classification of peptostreptococci based on 16S rRNA sequence analysis. The BAC library constructed here will be useful for the whole genome sequencing project and other postgenomic applications.     

六盘山地区石鸡和大石鸡间的渐渗杂交

在六盘山地区发现鹑类的两种鸟类石鸡和大石鸡进行杂交,本实验采用PCR和RFLP的方法,分析了六盘山西侧20个大石鸡和东侧36个石鸡的mtDNA基因,发现宁夏海原5个和甘肃庄浪8个的大石鸡具有石鸡的基因型,说明这可能是雌性石鸡与雄性大石鸡杂交的结果,在六盘山东侧石鸡种群中没有发现大石鸡的基因型,其基因是从石鸡到大石鸡的单向流动。杂交后代的形态与大石鸡相似且体型比双亲都大。这种渐渗杂交可能是杂交个体与雄性大石鸡回交的结果。根据分子钟推测,这种不对称的基因流动,可能是由于冰期隔离后次级相遇形成的。杂交种可与雄性大石鸡回交。虽然还需要加大样本量来进一步研究这种不对称基因流动,但是持续的渐渗杂交会导致大石鸡基因的灭绝     

Periphyton as alternative food source for the filter-feeding cladoceran Daphnia magna

1.  Daphnia magna , a well-studied primary consumer, is mainly known as a filter feeder. In this study, we investigated the ability of D. magna to use periphyton as an alternative food source to phytoplankton. We examined the development of laboratory populations fed with different food sources ( Desmodesmus subspicatus and/or periphyton or neither) over a period of 42 days, and observed the behaviour of the daphnids.
2.  The addition of periphyton to phytoplankton food led to an increase of daphnid population biomass. When fed with periphyton as the only food source, a small but stable D. magna population developed.
3.  The behaviour of daphnids fed with both food sources revealed a preference for feeding on D. subspicatus . Only below a concentration of D. subspicatus of approximately 0.05 mg C L⁻¹ (0.4 × 10⁷ cells L⁻¹) did D. magna use periphyton as an alternative food source.
4.  Periphyton showed distinct reactions to grazing by D. magna . The thickness of the periphyton layer was reduced from about 4 to 1 mm and we observed a change in species composition due to grazing.
5.  The ability of D. magna to graze on periphyton could serve to stabilize its population density and reinforce its competitive advantage over other cladocerans. By switching between food sources, D. magna can act as a coupler between pelagic and benthic habitats and food webs.

DNA-based identification of a hepatic trematode in an elk calf

Liver fluke infection was identified as a probable cause of clinical disease in an approximately 6-mo-old elk (Cervus elaphus) in coastal Oregon. Clinical pathology and necropsy findings are described. The alcohol-fixed flukes that were submitted for identification were similar in size to Fasciola hepatica, but their shape resembled Fascioloides magna in that they lacked a distinctive anterior cone. A few structures consistent with the eggs of F. magna were observed in liver lesions, suggesting that at least some of the worms were sexually maturing. Due to difficulties in morphologic identification associated with improper fixation technique, DNA analysis was used to compare small subunit (SSU) and internal transcribed spacer 2 ribosomal RNA gene sequences of the recovered parasites with those of F. hepatica and F. magna, confirming these small, but sexually mature flukes were F. magna. This is the first publication of the SSU gene sequence for F. magna. Phylogenetic analysis showed that it is related to, but is an outlier, to the genus Fasciola. Due to the high mortality rate associated with this disease outbreak, the overall significance of trematodiasis in the herd is unclear.
