Transposon sequencing reveals the essential gene set and genes enabling gut symbiosis in the insect symbiont Caballeronia insecticola

Résumé

Abstract Caballeronia insecticola is a bacterium belonging to the Burkholderia genus sensu lato , able to colonize multiple environments like soils and the gut of the bean bug Riptortus pedestris . To identify the essential genome of a bacterium is a first step in the understanding of its lifestyles. We constructed a saturated Himar1 mariner transposon library and revealed by transposon-sequencing (Tn-seq) that 498 protein-coding genes constitute the essential genome of C. insecticola for growth in free-living conditions. By comparing essential gene sets of C. insecticola and seven related Burkholderia s.l. strains, only 120 common genes were identified indicating that a large part of the essential genome is strain-specific. In order to reproduce specific nutritional conditions that are present in the gut of R. pedestris , we grew the mutant library in minimal media supplemented with candidate gut nutrients and identified several condition-dependent fitness-defect genes by Tn-seq. To validate the robustness of the approach, insertion mutants in six fitness genes were constructed and their growth-deficiency in media supplemented with the corresponding nutrient was confirmed. The mutants were further tested for their efficiency in R. pedestris gut colonization, confirming that gluconeogenic carbon sources, taurine and inositol, are nutrients consumed by the symbiont in the gut.
