MICROFLORA ASSOCIATED WITH WOOD-FEEDING INSECTS HindgutNasutitermes (Costa Rica) Food: dead plant material (wood,fungigrowing on deadleaves). SAMPLING:HINDGUT METADATA NOT DETAILED ENOUGH Fungus-growing Termite workerfrom South Africa Dendroctonusfrontalis (Coleoptera, Curculionidae) fromSouthern Mississipi The beetles bore through pine bark to eat and laytheireggs; the fungusspreadsinside the bark and « pre-digests » the wood. SAMPLING: GALLERIES Xyleborusaffinis (Coleoptera, Curculionidae) from Bern, Switzerland, Mountain Pine Beetlefrom McBride, British Columbia, Canada

Phylogeneticanalysisbased on • % identity: 30-59% • estimatedgene copies thatfallwithineachcategory
Verylittleeukaryotic DNA contamination 55% genes match withColeoptera, Tenebrionidae, Triboliumcastaneum= not the right bug!! -> onlyColeopteragenome in the database ;-)
0.16% = Methanomicrobia (Methanocellales, Methanomicrobiales, Methanosarcinales 0.54% = Methanomicrobia (Methanocellales, Methanomicrobiales, Methanosarcinales
uncl. Spirochaeta and Treponema, N2-fixing organisms, acetogens (CO2, H2 -> acetate) 13.4%= anaerobic, fermentative bacteria (Clostridiumsp., Acetivibriocellulolyticus, Lachnospiraceae, Ruminococcaceae etc.) All Fibrobactersuccinogenes: cellulolyticanaerobicbacterium (not in other termite) Bacteroidiia (Bacteroidessp. = carbohydrate fermenters) and Sphingobacteriia(Mucilaginibacter= facultative aerobic, xylan, pectin-degrading) Sphingobacteriia (Sphingobacteriumspiritivorum = facultative aerobe, alcohol-oxidizing <- HMP)
Comamonadaceae + Burkholderiaceae(beetles) ? Desulfo-xx (not in beetlesamples) Termites:1) Enterobacteriales(E.coli, Klebsiella, Salmonellasp.) – 2) Pseudomonadales (Pseudomonasspp.) + Nasutitermes: Alteromonadales (Shewanellasp.) Beetles : 1) Pseudomonadales (Pseudomonasspp.)- 2) Enterobacteriales(E.coli, Klebsiella, Salmonellasp.) ?

Nitrogen Fixation-related Genes In the termite hindgut (yellow), most are contributions from Gammaproteobacteria Actinobacteria Spirochaetes Unclassified K03737 (putative pyruvate-flavodoxinoxidoreductase) is present in all metagenomes
Summary - perspectives Phylogenetic diversity Consistent with host lifestyle Is there a core set of taxa? TBD (+ phylogenetic COG markers?) Genes/Pathways of interest PFAMs for cellulose degradation enzymes were found Nitrogen fixation genes present Suggestions More meta data!! Compatibility of file system datasets (Bankia) More time for data analysis (great collective exercise, but 1 day is not enough)
