Amphibian skin bacteria contain a wide repertoire of genes linked to their antifungal capacities

World Journal of Microbiology and Biotechnology - Emerging diseases caused by fungi are a serious threat to wildlife biodiversity. The widespread fungal pathogen Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd)...

En resumen, proponemos un conjunto de grupos de genes que pueden sintetizar compuestos antifúngicos, lo que los convierte en candidatos prometedores para estudios futuros.

Y sugerimos que la gran diversidad de grupos de genes biosintéticos codificados en estas bacterias podría explicar las propiedades antifúngicas del microbioma protector de la piel de los anfibios.

And, we suggest that the vast diversity of biosynthetic gene clusters encoded in these bacteria could explain the antifungal properties of the protective skin microbiome of amphibians.

By mining the genomes of these bacteria, we found specialized metabolic pathways and genes likely involved in the observed antifungal activity.

We found that the type of habitat had the most significant effect on the diversity of the microbiotas. The phylogenetic distance between hosts, particularly the structure of bacterial communities, also played are associated. Climate did have an impact but to a lesser extent.

In summary, all of this indicates that the phylogeny of the salamanders is also important in determining the diversity of their bacterial microbiota. In simpler terms, this suggests that closely related species will have a similar microbiota.

Y encontramos que el tipo de hábitat (acuático o terrestre) es la que más peso tenía en la diversidad de sus microbiotas, pero también la cercanía filogenética entre las salamandras, sobre todo en la estructura de las comunidades. En la jerarquía, el clima si influye pero menos.

En resumen, todo esto indica que la filogenia de las salamandras también tiene peso importante en la diversidad de su microbiota bacteriana. En simples palabras, se sugiere que especies cercanas “primas” tienen una microbiota similar.
