Bacteria Belonging to Pseudomonas typographisp. nov. from the Bark Beetle Ips typographus Have Genomic Potential to Aid in the Host Ecology

Original language description

Simple Summary European Bark Beetle (Ips typographus)is a pest that affects dead and weakened spruce trees. Under certain environmental conditions, it has massive outbreaks, resulting in attacks of healthy trees, becoming a forest pest. It has been proposed that the bark beetle's microbiome plays a key role in the insect's ecology, providing nutrients, inhibiting pathogens, and degrading tree defense compounds, among other probable traits. During a study of bacterial associates fromI. typographus, we isolated three strains identified asPseudomonasfrom different beetle life stages. In this work, we aimed to reveal the taxonomic status of these bacterial strains and to sequence and annotate their genomes to mine possible traits related to a role within the bark beetle holobiont. Our study indicates that these bacteria constitute a new species for which the name ofPseudomonas typographisp. nov. is proposed. Moreover, their genome analysis suggests different metabolic pathways possibly related to the beetle's ecology. Finally, in vitro tests conclude the capability of these bacteria to inhibit beetle's fungal pathogens. Altogether, these results suggest thatP. typographiaidsI. typographinutrition and resistance to fungal pathogens. These findings might be of interest in the development of integrated methods for pest control. European Bark BeetleIps typographusis a secondary pest that affects dead and weakened spruce trees (Piceagenus). Under certain environmental conditions, it has massive outbreaks, resulting in the attacks of healthy trees, becoming a forest pest. It has been proposed that the bark beetle's microbiome plays a key role in the insect's ecology, providing nutrients, inhibiting pathogens, and degrading tree defense compounds, among other probable traits yet to be discovered. During a study of bacterial associates fromI. typographus, we isolated three strains identified asPseudomonasfrom different beetle life stages.
