- W3206924897 abstract "Ralstonia solanacearum is a destructive plant pathogenic bacterium and the causative agent of bacterial wilt disease, infecting over 200 plant species worldwide. In addition to chromosomal genes, its virulence is mediated by mobile genetic elements including integrated DNA of bacteriophages, i.e. prophages, which may carry fitness-associated auxiliary genes or modulate host gene expression. Although experimental studies have characterised several prophages that shape R. solanacearum virulence, the global diversity, distribution, and wider functional gene content of R. solanacearum prophages is unknown. In this study, prophages were identified in a diverse collection of 192 R. solanacearum draft genome assemblies originating from six continents. Prophages were identified bioinformatically and their diversity investigated using genetic distance measures, gene content, GC, and total length. Prophage distribution was characterised using metadata on R. solanacearum geographic origin and lineage classification (phylotypes), and their functional gene content was assessed by identifying putative prophage-encoded auxiliary genes. In total, 343 intact prophages were identified, forming ten genetically distinct clusters. These included five prophage clusters belonging to the Inoviridae, Myoviridae, and Siphoviridae phage families, and five uncharacterised clusters, possibly representing novel, previously undescribed phages. The prophages had broad geographical distribution being present across multiple continents. However, they were generally host phylogenetic lineage-specific, and overall, prophage diversity was proportional to the genetic diversity of their hosts. The prophages contained a myriad of auxiliary genes involved in metabolism and virulence of both phage and bacteria. Our results show that while R. solanacearum prophages are highly diverse globally, they make lineage-specific contributions to the R. solanacearum accessory genome, which could result from shared coevolutionary history." @default.
