Phylogeny and classification of based on multilocus sequence analysis Free

Abstract

Bacterial heart rot of pineapple reported in Hawaii in 2003 and reoccurring in 2006 was caused by an undetermined species of . Classification of the bacterial strains isolated from infected pineapple to one of the recognized species and their phylogenetic relationships with were determined by a multilocus sequence analysis (MLSA), based on the partial gene sequences of , , , and . Individual and concatenated gene phylogenies revealed that the strains form a clade with reference sp. isolated from pineapple in Malaysia and are closely related to ; however, previous DNA–DNA reassociation values suggest that these strains do not meet the genomic threshold for consideration in , and require further taxonomic analysis. An analysis of the markers used in this MLSA determined that was the best overall marker for resolution of species within . Differential intraspecies resolution was observed with the other markers, suggesting that marker selection is important for defining relationships within a clade. Phylogenies produced with gene sequences from the sequenced genomes of strains Ech586, Ech703 and Ech1591 did not place the sequenced strains with members of other well-characterized members of their respective species. The average nucleotide identity (ANI) and tetranucleotide frequencies determined for the sequenced strains corroborated the results of the MLSA that Ech586 and Ech703 should be reclassified as Ech586 and Ech703, respectively, whereas Ech1591 should be reclassified as Ech1591.
