Complete Genome Sequence of Citrus Huanglongbing Bacterium, ‘Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus’ Obtained Through Metagenomics
Open accessAbstract
Citrus huanglongbing is the most destructive disease of citrus worldwide. It is spread by citrus psyllids and is associated with a low-titer, phloem-limited infection by any of three uncultured species of α-Proteobacteria, ‘Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus’, ‘Ca. L. americanus’, and ‘Ca. L. africanus’. A complete circular ‘Ca. L. asiaticus’ genome has been obtained by metagenomics, using the DNA extracted from a single ‘Ca. L. asiaticus’–infected psyllid. The 1.23-Mb genome has an average 36.5% GC content. Annotation revealed a high percentage of genes involved in both cell motility (4.5%) and active transport in general (8.0%), which may contribute to its virulence. ‘Ca. L. asiaticus’ appears to have a limited ability for aerobic respiration and is likely auxotrophic for at least five amino acids. Consistent with its intracellular nature, ‘Ca. L. asiaticus’ lacks type III and type IV secretion systems as well as typical free-living or plant-colonizing extracellular degradative enzymes. ‘Ca. L. asiaticus’ appears to have all type I secretion system genes needed for both multidrug efflux and toxin effector secretion. Multi-protein phylogenetic analysis confirmed ‘Ca. L. asiaticus’ as an early-branching and highly divergent member of the family Rhizobiaceae. This is the first genome sequence of an uncultured α-proteobacteria that is both an intracellular plant pathogen and insect symbiont.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
