The Hidden World of Rickettsiales Symbionts: “Candidatus Spectririckettsia obscura,” a Novel Bacterium Found in Brazilian and Indian Paramecium caudatum

Abstract: Symbioses between bacteria and eukaryotes are widespread and may have significant impact on the evolutionary history of symbiotic partners. The order Rickettsiales is a lineage of intracellular Alphaproteobacteria characterized by an obligate association with a wide range of eukaryotic hosts, including several unicellular organisms, such as ciliates and amoebas. In this work, we characterized the Rickettsiales symbionts associated with two different genotypes of the freshwater ciliate Paramecium caudatum origi… Show more

“…In recent years, an increasing amount of research was produced on neglected members of the order Rickettsiales (e.g. [24,38,41,74,75,101,102]), which, contrarily to those thoroughly studied in the past, are not of direct medical or veterinary concern. Such investigations represented a major contribution to understand the phylogenetic and genomic diversity of Rickettsiales and are gradually reshaping our interpretation of their evolution.…”

“…Furthermore, we included the 16S rDNA sequences of endosymbiont of X. muta and bacteria noted in other marine hosts: Porites compressa Dana, 1846 and Hippocampus guttulatus Cuvier, 1829. In order to make the data comprehensive, we applied in the analysis also the sequences of other bacteria published in similar works (Hess et al 2016;Lanzoni et al 2016;Szokoli et al 2016a, b;Castelli et al 2018b;Potekhin et al 2018;Schrallhammer et al 2018;Tashyreva et al 2018;Fokin et al 2019) using Rickettsiales sequences as an outgroup. The bacterial sequences used in the analysis were presented in the Fig.…”

“…We conducted phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rDNA sequences of the bacterium from A. coleoptrata and endosymbionts of other host that showed sequence identity by BLASTn. Additional sequence data were included in the analysis according to literature data (Boscaro et al 2013;Schulz et al 2014;Hess et al 2016;Lanzoni et al 2016;Szokoli et al 2016a, b;Castelli et al 2018b;Potekhin et al 2018;Schrallhammer et al 2018;Tashyreva et al 2018).…”
