The O-antigen variation-determined serotype is an important characteristic of <i>Y. enterocolitica</i>, allowing intraspecies classification for diagnosis and epidemiology purposes. Among the 11 serotypes associated with human yersiniosis, O:3, O:5,27, O:8, and O:9 are the most prevalent, and their O-antigen gene clusters have been well defined. In addition to the O-antigen, several virulence factors are involved in infection and pathogenesis of <i>Y. enterocolitica</i> strains, and these are closely related to their biotypes, reflecting pathogenic properties. In this study, we identified the O-AGC of a <i>Y. enterocolitica</i> strain WL-21 of serotype O:10, and confirmed its functionality in O-antigen synthesis. Furthermore, we analyzed <i>in silico</i> the putative O-AGCs of uncommon serotypes, and found that the O-AGCs of <i>Y. enterocolitica</i> were divided into two genetic patterns: (1) O-AGC within the <i>hemH-gsk</i> locus, possibly synthesizing the O-antigen via the Wzx/Wzy dependent pathway, and (2) O-AGC within the <i>dcuC-galU-galF</i> locus, very likely assembling the O-antigen via the ABC transporter dependent pathway. By screening the virulence genes against genomes from GenBank, we discovered that strains representing different serotypes were grouped according to different virulence gene profiles, indicating strong links between serotypes and virulence markers and implying an interaction between them and the synergistic effect in pathogenicity.

Presented is the first genomic perspective on sucrose utilization and the levan biosynthesis pathway in this bacterium. Regarding sequence annotation, the putative levansucrase operon responsible for β-2,6-linked fructan was identified in the genome of strain HL12, and comprises sacB levansucrase gene belonging to GH68, located adjacent to levB endo-levanase gene, which belongs to GH32. Importantly, sugars related with the levan biosynthesis pathway are proposed to be transported via 3 types of transportation systems, including multiple ABCSugar and glucose/H+ transporters, as well as glucoseand fructose-specific PTS systems. Based on product profile analysis, the HL12 strain exhibited high efficiency in levan production from high sucrose concentration (300 g/l), achieving the highest yield of 127 g/l (equivalent to 55% conversion based on sucrose consumption), together with short-chain L-FOSs (DP3-5) and long-chain L-FOSs with respective size larger than DP6 after 48 h incubation.
