| 论文摘要： | Ralstonia spp. are highly adaptable bacteria that are widely distributed across diverse environments. Here, we isolated four Ralstonia pickettii (R. pickettii) genomes from cultures of Dolichospermum spp., and using a comparative genomic framework of 228 Ralstonia genomes. We performed phylogenetic analyses that grouped them into water, soil, plant, and human-associated clades based on their predominant isolation habitats. Fluorescence in situ hybridization revealed minimal physical interactions between R. pickettii and cyanobacterial cells, indicating a commensal or independent ecological relationship. Distinct differences in carbohydrate-active enzymes (CAZymes) and secondary metabolite profiles were observed between water and human-associated dominant groups compared to plant-associated dominant groups, highlighting potential niche-specific adaptations. The water-associated dominant groups harbored antibiotic resistance genes, including CeoB and OXA-type beta-lactamase genes. These genes are typically linked to human-associated strains, suggesting potential horizontal gene transfer or shared selective pressures, and the gene content of T3SS is reduced. Notably, water-associated dominant groups exhibited a unique pyrimidine degradation pathway, potentially enabling the utilization of exogenous pyrimidines to support survival in nutrient-limited aquatic environments. We propose that the gene content loss of T3SS and the acquisition of specialized metabolic pathways reflect adaptive strategies of Ralstonia spp. for thriving in aquatic free-living niches. |
