Epidemiological studies require accurate taxonomic classification of isolates with enough resolution to distinguish clonal complexes. Unfortunately, 16 S rRNA molecular analysis and phenotypic characterization cannot distinguish all species and do not offer enough resolution to assess intraspecific diversity. Other approaches, such as Multilocus Sequence Tagging, provide higher resolution; however, they have been developed for Staphylococcus aureus and a few other species. Here, we developed a set of genus-targeted primers using five orthologous genes (pta, tuf, tpi, groEs, and sarA) to identify all Staphylococcus species within the genus. The primers were initially evaluated using 20 strains from the Collection of Microorganisms of Interest in Animal Health from AGROSAVIA (CMISA), and their amplified sequences were compared to a set of 33 Staphylococcus species. This allowed the taxonomic identification of the strains even on close species and the establishment of intraspecies diversity. To enhance the scope and cost-effectiveness of the proposed strategy, we customized the primer sets for an Illumina paired-end amplicon protocol, enabling gene multiplexing. We assessed five genes across 177 strains, generating 880 paired-end libraries from the CMISA. This approach significantly reduced sequencing costs, as all libraries can be efficiently sequenced in a single MiSeq run at a fraction (one-fourth or less) of the cost associated with Sanger sequencing. In summary, this method can be used for precise identification and diversity analysis of Staphylococcus species, offering an advancement over traditional techniques in both resolution and cost-effectiveness.</p>","PeriodicalId":23703,"journal":{"name":"World journal of microbiology & biotechnology","volume":"40 11","pages":"333"},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11447098/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142366665","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The samples were analyzed for their physicochemical properties, including the presence of metals, petroleum hydrocarbons, and aromatic compounds. A total of 264 fungal isolates were analyzed and categorized into eight groups of Aspergillus (194 isolates) and four groups of Penicillium (70 isolates). The potential of these fungal groups to grow in oil or its derivatives was investigated. Two isolates, Aspergillus tubingensis FA-KSU5 and A. niger FU-KSU69, were utilized in two remediation experiments-one targeting wastewater and the other focusing on polluted soil.

Even though there are many effective conventional methods for controlling plant diseases, new methods that are also effective, environmentally safe, and cost-effective are required. While plant breeding has traditionally been used to manipulate the plant genome to develop resistant cultivars for controlling plant diseases, the emergence of genetic engineering has introduced a completely new approach to render plants resistant to bacteria, nematodes, fungi, and viruses. The RNA interference (RNAi) approach has recently emerged as a potentially useful tool for mitigating the inherent risks associated with the development of conventional transgenics. These risks include the use of specific transgenes, gene control sequences, or marker genes. Utilizing RNAi to silence certain genes is a promising solution to this dilemma as disease-resistant transgenic plants can be generated within a legislative structure. Recent investigations have shown that using target double stranded RNAs via an effective vector system can produce significant silencing effects. Both dsRNA-containing crop sprays and transgenic plants carrying RNAi vectors have proven effective in controlling plant diseases that threaten commercially significant crop species.

The isolates displayed great variability in these phenotypic traits, which play an important role in the survival of yeast populations in agroecosystems.
