基于16S rRNA基因序列对织纹螺属的分子系统学分析

研究利用线粒体16S rRNA基因序列片段,对织纹螺属6亚属11种动物进行分子系统学分析。结果显示,种内遗传距离(0～0.007)与种间遗传距离(0.019～0.088)无重叠,这表明线粒体16S rRNA基因能较好地反映织纹螺种间的亲缘关系; 而亚属内遗传距离(0.018～0.031)与亚属间遗传距离(0.028～0.083)存在重叠,表明线粒体16S rRNA基因不能对一些贝壳形态相似的亚属进行区分。同时,确定了疑难种灰白织纹螺Nassarius(Zeuxis)canaliculatum的分类地位,并与相似种西格织纹螺N.(Z.)siquijorensis进行了对比; 确认了秀丽织纹螺Nassarius(Hima)festivus应属于Hima亚属;建议保留单型亚属Varicinassa的有效性。

小鲵科线粒体16S rRNA基因序列分析及其系统发育

To study the phylogeny of Hynobiidae, we amplified DNA fragments of 470 bp 16S ribosomal RNA (16S rRNA) gene on mitochondrial DNA from Ranodon sibiricus and Ranodon tsinpaensis. PCR products were cloned into PMD18 T vector after purification. These sequences were determined and deposited in the GenBank (accession numbers: AY373459 for Ranodon sibiricus, AY372534 for Ranodon tsinpaensis). By comparing the nucleotide differences of 16S ribosomal RNA sequences among Liua shihi, Pseudohynobius flavomaculatus and Batrachuperus genus from GenBank database, we analyzed the divergences and base substitution among these sequences with the MEGA software. The molecular results support that B. tibetanus, B. pinchonii and B. karlschmidti are classified into three valid species. Liua shihi has closer phylogenetic relationships to Ranodon tsinpaensis than to other species. More our results reveal that Pseudohynobius flavomaculatus is not a synonym of Ranodon tsinpaensis.

中国沙塘鳢属鱼类线粒体12S rRNA基因序列分析

沙塘鳢属鱼类为东亚特有的小型淡水经济鱼类,中国产沙塘鳢属鱼类分类问题长期存在争议。本文测定了中国产沙塘鳢属鱼类全部种类的线粒体12S rRNA基因部分序列,结合GenBank中下载的2种日本沙塘鳢属鱼类和塘鳢科鱼类同源序列,探讨中国产4种沙塘鳢属鱼类的物种有效性,分析沙塘鳢属鱼类的系统发育关系。作者所使用的同源序列长度为690bp,其中变异位点258个,简约信息位点201个,包括插入/缺失位点34个,转换/颠换平均值为3.0,表明12S rRNA基因是研究沙塘鳢属鱼类系统发育关系的合适分子标记。基于p-distance模型的6种沙塘鳢属鱼类种内遗传距离为0.000—0.024,种间遗传距离为0.058—0.064,支持暗色沙塘鳢和中华沙塘鳢为不同种,中国产沙塘鳢属鱼类包括中华沙塘鳢、河川沙塘鳢、海丰沙塘鳢、鸭绿江沙塘鳢4个种的观点;至于中国还有没有新的沙塘鳢属鱼类,尚有待进一步研究。系统发育分析表明海丰海塘鳢是河川沙塘鳢的姐妹群,暗色沙塘鳢与O.hikimius的亲缘关系最为密切,而同属其余类群之间的系统发育关系则由于自展数据支持率较低而尚不明确。中国产沙塘鳢和日本产沙塘鳢并未单独分群,推测沙塘鳢属鱼类的共同原始祖先可能广泛分布于中国、朝鲜和日本等东亚地区,约在4.9—6.5百万年前的上新世开始分化,系统发育过程比较适合离散假说。

为探讨柳蚕Actias selene Hübner与鳞翅目昆虫的系统发育关系,本研究利用PCR扩增获得了柳蚕核糖体18S rRNA和线粒体16S rRNA基因的部分序列,长度分别为391bp和428bp。并采用邻近距离法(NJ)、最大简约法(MP)、类平均聚类法(UPGMA)构建系统进化树。结果表明,柳蚕线粒体16SrRNA基因序列与大蚕蛾科昆虫的16SrRNA基因序列均表现出偏好于碱基AT的倾向。柳蚕与所研究的其它蚕类的遗传距离介于0.016至0.140之间,其中与温带柞蚕Antheraea roylii的遗传距离最小,与野桑蚕Bombyx mandarina的遗传距离最大。而基于鳞翅目昆虫18S rRNA基因部分序列的进化分析显示,柳蚕与柞蚕Antheraea pernyi之间的遗传距离最小(0.010),与蓖麻蚕Samia ricini的遗传距离最大(0.017)。     

Assessing the genetic diversity and population structure of Culter alburnus in China based on mitochondrial 16S rRNA and COI gene sequences

The genetic diversity and population genetic structure of Culter alburnus were investigated using mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) and ribosomal 16S subunit (16S rRNA) gene sequences. A total of 89 individuals from four localities were included in the analysis. Overall, 12 polymorphic sites were observed and 10 haplotypes were defined. The C. alburnus populations were characterized by high haplotype diversity (0.587 ± 0.047) and low nucleotide diversity (0.00197 ± 0.00073). Pairwise fixation index (F_ST) analysis indicated significant genetic differentiation among different populations. The hierarchical analysis of molecular variance (AMOVA) analysis also showed significant genetic divergence (φ_ST = 0.3792, P < 0.01) among these populations. The present results suggest that subdivisions exist among four C. alburnus populations, and should be considered as different management unit for effective conservation and management purposes. This study provides new information for genetic assessment and will be crucial for establishing fisheries management and strategies for this species.

The phylogenetic position of Hydrogenobacter acidophilus based on 16S rRNA sequence analysis

Abstract Hydrogenobacter acidophilus strain 3H-1 is a thermoacidophilic, obligately chemolithoautotrophic, hydrogen-oxidizer isolated from a Japanese solfataric field. Strain 3H-1 requires elemental sulfur for growth. We used PCR to amplify the 16S rRNA gene of strain 3H-1, and sequenced the amplification product directly. Phylogenetic analyses show strain 3H-1 is closely related to Aquifex pyrophilus and may be located in the deepest branch within the eubacterial phylogenetic tree. Sulfur-dependency of the ancestral eubacterium is also discussed.

为了更好地了解拟诺卡氏菌属(Nocardiopsis)各物种间的系统发育关系,该属现有有效描述种的gyrB,sod和rpoB基因的部分序列被测定,结合16S rRNA基因,对拟诺卡氏菌属进行了系统发育重建。研究发现拟诺卡氏菌属gyrB,sod和rpoB基因的平均相似性分别为87.7%、87.3%和94.1%,而16S rRNA基因的平均相似性则达到96.65%,3个看家基因均比16S rRNA具有更高的分歧度。比较基于不同基因的系统树发现,由gyrB基因得到的系统树拓扑结构与16S rRNA得到的结构在亚群上基本一致。因此,gyrB基因在拟诺卡氏菌属的系统分类上比16S rRNA基因更具优越性。     

Bacterial phylogeny based on 16S and 23S rRNA sequence analysis

Abstract: Molecular phylogeny increasingly supports the understanding of organismal relationships and provides the basis for the classification of microorganisms according to their natural affiliations. Comparative sequence analysis of ribosomal RNAs or the corresponding genes currently is the most widely used approach for the reconstruction of microbial phylogeny. The highly and less conserved primary and higher order structure elements of rRNAs document the history of microbial evolution and are informative for definite phylogenetic levels. An optimal alignment of the primary structures and a careful data selection are prerequisites for reliable phylogenetic conclusions. rRNA based phylogenetic trees can be reconstructed and the significance of their topologies evaluated by applying distance, maximum parsimony and maximum likelihood methods of phylogeny inference in comparison, and by fortuitous or directed resampling of the data set. Phylogenetic trees based on almost equivalent data sets of bacterial 23S and 16S rRNAs are in good agreement and their overall topologies are supported by alternative phylogenetic markers such as elongation factors and ATPase subunits. Besides their phylogenetic information content, the differently conserved primary structure regions of rRNAs provide target sites for specific hybridization probes which have been proven to be powerful tools for the identification of microbes on the basis of their phylogenetic relationships.     

Evaluation of different partial 16S rRNA gene sequence regions for phylogenetic analysis of microbiomes

Operational taxonomic units (OTUs) are conventionally defined at a phylogenetic distance (0.03—species, 0.05—genus, 0.10—family) based on full-length 16S rRNA gene sequences. However, partial sequences (700 bp or shorter) have been used in most studies. This discord may affect analysis of diversity and species richness because sequence divergence is not distributed evenly along the 16S rRNA gene. In this study, we compared a set each of bacterial and archaeal 16S rRNA gene sequences of nearly full length with multiple sets of different partial 16S rRNA gene sequences derived therefrom (approximately 440-700 bp), at conventional and alternative distance levels. Our objective was to identify partial sequence region(s) and distance level(s) that allow more accurate phylogenetic analysis of partial 16S rRNA genes. Our results showed that no partial sequence region could estimate OTU richness or define OTUs as reliably as nearly full-length genes. However, the V1-V4 regions can provide more accurate estimates than others. For analysis of archaea, we recommend the V1-V3 and the V4-V7 regions and clustering of species-level OTUs at 0.03 and 0.02 distances, respectively. For analysis of bacteria, the V1-V3 and the V1-V4 regions should be targeted, with species-level OTUs being clustered at 0.04 distance in both cases.     

16S rRNA analysis and the phylogenetic position of Wolinella succinogenes

The 16S ribosomal RNA of Wolinella succinogenes ATCC29543 was analyzed by the RNase T1 oligonucleotide cataloguing approach. In contrast to its present classification, W. succinogenes is related neither to members of the genus Bacteroides nor to any other genus of the family Bacteroidaceae. As derived from the similarity coefficients (S_AB values) calculated on the basis of more than 350 eubacterial species, W. succinogenes appears to be a distantly related member of the division of purple photosynthetic bacteria and their relatives; however, S_AB values do not indicate that this species is preferentially related to any representative of the 4 subdivisions.
