Genetic diversity of mycosphaerella fijiensis in brazil analyzed using an ERIC-...

The Enterobacterial repetitive intergenic consensus (ERIC) marker was used to analyze the genetic variability of Mycosphaerella fijiensis, the causative agent of Black Sigatoka disease in banana plants. A total of 123 isolates were used, which were divided into populations based on their original hosts and collection sites in Brazil. A total of 9 loci were amplified, 77.8% of which were found to be polymorphic....

Comparative analysis of the mitochondrial genome of the fungus Colletotrichum l...

Fungi of the genus Colletotrichum are economically important and are used as models in plant-pathogen interaction studies. In this study, the complete mitochondrial genomes of two Colletotrichum lindemuthianum isolates were sequenced and compared with the mitochondrial genomes of seven species of Colletotrichum. The mitochondrial genome of C. lindemuthianum is a typical circular molecule 37,446 bp (isolate 89 A...

Screening and characterization of prophages in Desulfovibrio genomes

Bacteria of the genus Desulfovibrio belong to the group of Sulphate Reducing Bacteria (SRB). SRB generate significant liabilities in the petroleum industry, mainly due to their ability to microbiologically induce corrosion, biofilm formation and H2S production. Bacteriophages are an alternative control method for SRB, whose information for this group of bacteria however, is scarce. The present study developed a...

The repertoire of effector candidates in Colletotrichum lindemuthianum reveals ...

The fungus Colletotrichum lindemuthianum is the causal agent of anthracnose in the common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris), and anthracnose is one of the most devastating diseases of this plant species. However, little is known about the proteins that are essential for the fungus-plant interactions. Knowledge of the fungus’ arsenal of effector proteins is of great importance for understanding this pathosystem. In this...

Desulfovibrio alaskensis prophages and their possible involvement in the horizo...

Desulfovibrio alaskensis is a Gram-negative bacterial species that belongs to the group of Sulphate Reducing Bacteria (SRB) and presents prophages in genomes, a common characteristic of the genus Desulfovibrio. Genetic material can be transported by outer membrane vesicles, however, no data regarding the production of these vesicles has been reported for D. alaskensis. To verify the expression of D. alaskensis ...

Development of molecular markers based on retrotransposons for the analysis of ...

Moniliophthora perniciosa is a fungus that causes witches’ broom disease (WBD) in the cacao tree (Theobroma cacao). The M. perniciosa genome contains different transposable elements; this prompted an evaluation of the use of its retrotransposons as molecular markers for population studies. The inter-retrotransposon amplified polymorphism (IRAP) and retrotransposon-microsatellite amplified polymorphism (REMAP) t...

Development of new molecular markers for the Colletotrichum genus using RetroCl...

A nonautonomous element of 624 bp, called RetroCl1 (Retroelement Colletotrichum lindemuthianum 1), was identified in the plant pathogenic fungus Colletotrichum lindemuthianum. RetroCl1 contains terminal direct repeats (223 bp) that are surrounded by CTAGT sequences. It has a short internal domain of 178 bp and shows characteristics of terminal-repeat retrotransposon in miniature (TRIM) family. We used RetroCl1 ...

Fungi of the genus Colletotrichum are economically important and are used as models in plant-pathogen interaction studies. In this study, the complete mitochondrial genomes of two Colletotrichum lindemuthianum isolates were sequenced and compared with the mitochondrial genomes of seven species of Colletotrichum.

Terminal repeat retrotransposons as DNA markers in fungi

In this study, we demonstrate that ClIRAP primers designed using the transposable element RetroCl1 sequence from Colletotrichum lindemuthianum can be used to generate an efficient IRAP (inter‐retrotransposon amplified polymorphism) molecular marker to study intra‐ and inter‐species diversity in fungi. It has been previously demonstrated that primers generated from this TRIM‐like element can be used in the Colle...
