| Abstract |
Viruses have the greatest abundance and highest genetic diversity in marine ecosystems. The interactions between viruses and their hosts is one of the hot spots of marine ecology. Besides their important role in various ecosystems, viruses, especially bacteriophages and their gene pool, are of enormous interest for the development of new gene products with high innovation value. Various studies have been conducted in diverse ecosystems to understand microbial diversity and phage–host interactions; however, the Black Sea, especially the Eastern coastal area, remains among the least studied ecosystems in this regard. This study was aimed at to fill this gap by analyzing microbial diversity and bacteriophage–host interactions in the waters of Eastern Black Sea using a metagenomic approach. To this end, prokaryotic and viral metagenomic DNA from two sampling sites, Poti and Gonio, were sequenced on the Illumina Miseq platform and taxonomic and functional profiles of the metagenomes were obtained using various bioinformatics tools. Our metagenomics analyses allowed us to identify the microbial communities, with Proteobacteria, Cyanobacteria, Actinibacteria, and Firmicutes found to be the most dominant bacterial phyla and Synechococcus and Candidatus Pelagibacter phages found to be the most dominant viral groups in the Black Sea. As minor groups, putative phages specific to human pathogens were identified in the metagenomes. We also characterized interactions between the phages and prokaryotic communities by determining clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR), prophage-like sequences, and integrase/excisionase sequences in the metagenomes, along with identification of putative horizontally transferred genes in the viral contigs. In addition, in the viral contig sequences related to peptidoglycan lytic activity were identified as well. This is the first study on phage and prokaryote diversity and their interactions in the Eastern coastal area of the Black Sea using a metagenomic approach. |
