Abstract
-
Whole genome and metagenome sequencing are powerful
approaches that enable comprehensive cataloging and profiling
of antibiotic resistance genes at scales ranging from a
single clinical isolate to ecosystems. Recent studies deal with
genomic and metagenomic data sets at larger scales; therefore,
designing computational workflows that provide high
efficiency and accuracy is becoming more important. In this
review, we summarize the computational workflows used in
the research field of antibiotic resistome based on genome or
metagenome sequencing. We introduce workflows, software
tools, and data resources that have been successfully employed
in this rapidly developing field. The workflow described in
this review can be used to list the known antibiotic resistance
genes from genomes and metagenomes, quantitatively profile
them, and investigate the epidemiological and evolutionary
contexts behind their emergence and transmission. We also
discuss how novel antibiotic resistance genes can be discovered
and how the association between the resistome and
mobilome can be explored.

Abstract
-
As a nitrogen-fixing bacterium, Bradyrhizobium japonicum
can establish a symbiotic relationship with the soybean plant
(Glycine max). To be a successful symbiont, B. japonicum
must deal with plant defense responses, such as an oxidative
burst. Our previous functional genomics study showed that
carQ (bll1028) encoding extracytoplasmic function (ECF)
sigma factor was highly expressed (107.8-fold induction)
under oxidative stress. Little is known about the underlying
mechanisms of how CarQ responds to oxidative stress. In
this study, a carQ knock-out mutant was constructed using
site-specific mutagenesis to identify the role of carQ in the
oxidative response of B. japonicum. The carQ mutant showed
a longer generation time than the wild type and exhibited
significantly decreased survival at 10 mM H2O2 for 10 min
of exposure. Surprisingly, there was no significant difference
in expression of oxidative stress-responsive genes such as
katG and sod between the wild type and carQ mutant. The
mutant also showed a significant increase in susceptibility to
H2O2 compared to the wild type in the zone inhibition assay.
Nodulation phenotypes of the carQ mutant were distinguishable
compared to those of the wild type, including lower
numbers of nodules, decreased nodule dry weight, decreased
plant dry weight, and a lower nitrogen fixation capability.
Moreover, desiccation of mutant cells also resulted in significantly
lower percent of survival in both early (after 4 h) and
late (after 24 h) desiccation periods. Taken together, this
information will provide an insight into the role of the ECF
sigma factor in B. japonicum to deal with a plant-derived
oxidative burst.
