Pan-Genome Analysis Reveals Host-Specific Functional Divergences in <i>Burkholderia gladioli</i>

<i>Burkholderia gladioli</i> has high versatility and adaptability to various ecological niches. Here, we constructed a pan-genome using 14 genome sequences of <i>B. gladioli</i>, which originate from different niches, including gladiolus, rice, humans, and nature. Functional...

description <i>Burkholderia gladioli</i> has high versatility and adaptability to various ecological niches. Here, we constructed a pan-genome using 14 genome sequences of <i>B. gladioli</i>, which originate from different niches, including gladiolus, rice, humans, and nature. Functional roles of core and niche-associated genomes were investigated by pathway enrichment analyses. Consequently, we inferred the uniquely important role of niche-associated genomes in (1) selenium availability during competition with gladiolus host; (2) aromatic compound degradation in seed-borne and crude oil-accumulated environments, and (3) stress-induced DNA repair system/recombination in the cystic fibrosis-niche. We also identified the conservation of the rhizomide biosynthetic gene cluster in all the <i>B. gladioli</i> strains and the concentrated distribution of this cluster in human isolates. It was confirmed the absence of complete CRISPR/Cas system in both plant and human pathogenic <i>B. gladioli</i> and the presence of the system in <i>B. gladioli</i> living in nature, possibly reflecting the inverse relationship between CRISPR/Cas system and virulence.
