Abstract:
BACKGROUND:Habitats colonized by acidophiles as an ideal physical barrier may induce genetic exchange of microbial members within the common communities, but little is known about how species in extremely acidic environments diverge and evolve. RESULTS:Using the acidophilic sulfur-oxidizer Acidithiobacillus as a case study, taxonomic reclassifications of many isolates provides novel insights into their phylogenetic lineage. Whole-genome-based comparisons were attempted to investigate the intra- and inter-species divergence. Recent studies clarified that functional and structural specificities of bacterial strains might provide opportunities for adaptive evolution responding to local environmental conditions. Acidophilic microorganisms play a key role in the acidification of natural waters and thus the formation of extremely acidic environments, and the feedbacks of the latter might confer the distinct evolutionary patterns of Acidithiobacillus spp. Varied horizontal gene transfer events occurred in different bacterial strains, probably resulting in the expansion of Acidithiobacillus genomes. Gene loss as another evolutionary force might cause the adaptive phenotypic diversity. A conceptual model for potential community-dependent evolutionary adaptation was thus proposed to illustrate the observed genome differentiation. CONCLUSIONS:Collectively, the findings shed light on the phylogeny and divergent evolution of Acidithiobacillus strains, and provided a useful reference for evolutionary studies of other extremophiles.
