Abstract:
:Metarhizium robertsii is a fungus with two lifestyles; it is a plant root symbiont and an insect pathogen. A spontaneously phenotypically degenerated strain of M. robertsii strain ARSEF 2575 (M. robertsii lc-2575; lc = low conidiation) showed a reduction in conidiation and fungal virulence after successive subculturing on agar medium. In order to recover conidiation, we experimentally passaged M. robertsii lc-2575 through plant (soldier bean and switchgrass) root or insect (Galleria mellonella) larvae. After five passages, the resultant strains had significantly increased conidial yields on agar and increased virulence in insect bioassays. Concomitantly, DNA methyltransferase, MrDIM-2 expression was downregulated in BR5 (a strain after 5 bean root passages) and isolates after switchgrass and insect passages. Bisulfite sequencing showed little difference in overall genomic DNA methylation levels (~ 0.37%) between M. robertsii lc-2575 and BR5. However, a finer comparison of the different methylated regions (DMRs) showed that DMRs of BR5 were more abundant in the intergenic regions (69.32%) compared with that of M. robertsii lc-2575 (33.33%). The addition of DNA methyltransferase inhibitor, 5-azacytidine, to agar supported the role of DNA methyltransferases and resulted in an increase in conidiation of M. robertsii lc-2575. Differential gene expression was observed in selected DMRs in BR5 when compared with M. robertsii lc-2575. Here we implicated epigenetic regulation in the recovery of conidiation through the effects of DNA methyltransferase and that plant passage could be used as a method to recover fungal conidiation and virulence in a phenotypically degenerated M. robertsii. KEY POINTS: • Passage of Metarhizium through plant root or insect results in increased conidiation. • DNA methyltransferase is downregulated after host passage. • Bisulfite sequencing identified potentially methylated genes involved in conidiation.
