The Species E. coli
Roles of the concept of “species”• Units of taxonomic classification: Units in the
general reference system that microbiologists use to order the isolates
• Units of generalization: Kinds of microorganisms over which explanatory-predictive generalizations can be made
• Units of evolution: Bacterial entities that participate in evolutionary processes and undergo evolutionary change
(Modified from T.A.C. Reydon, Ph.D. Dissertation, Leiden University, 2005)

Diversity at all hierarchical levels
Strain Mutation
Population Clonalization
Community Speciation
Some strains are more mutable than others
Some populations tend to produce more
clones?
Some bacterial groups tend to produce more
species? At any level, the origin of diversity is probably stochastic

The clues of E. coli genetic diversity
• Errors in DNA replication and repair
• Horizontal genetic transfer from other organisms
• Creation of mosaic genes from parts of other genes
• Duplication and divergence of pre-existing genes
• De novo invention of genes from DNA that had previously a non-coding sequence
Modified from Wolfe and Li, Nat. Genet. 33, 2003

Loop sizes
Chiapello et al., BMC Bioinformatics, 6:171, 2005
Small loops may arise from replication errors (small deletions or insertions), or correspond to highly polymorphic regions
Large loops arise from horizontal transfer events
![Page 20: The E. coli Extended Genome](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062322/56814686550346895db3a881/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
The core backbone is not the minimal genome
• The “core backbone” is not the “minimal E. coli genome”, because of high level of gene redundancy.
• A high number of genes are members of gene families (2-30 copies), similar enough to be assigned similar functions (paralogs)
• Such redundancy involves 20-40 % of the E. coli coding sequences (more in the largest genomes)
• “In-silico metabolic phenotype” including all basic functions, predict about 700 genes in minimal genome (Blattner at al., Science
1997, Edwards and Palsson, PNAS 2000)
![Page 21: The E. coli Extended Genome](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062322/56814686550346895db3a881/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
The blue gene, unexpected in the species “C”, might have arisen: i) by horizontal gene transfer; or ii) by an ancient gene duplication followed by differential gene loss.
Gogarden et Townsend, Nature Rev. Mic. (2005)
![Page 22: The E. coli Extended Genome](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062322/56814686550346895db3a881/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
The loops
• The backbone evolves by vertical transfer.
• Large loops are probably acquired by horizontal gene transfer, but also evolve by vertical transfer.
• Loops tend to have a different
codon usage and higher AT % than the backbone.
• Loops tend to contain more frequently
operational genes (actions) than informative
genes (complex regulation) (R. Jain, 1999)
PAIs, islets, phages, plasmids, transposable, repetitive elements...

Excision Modification
More loss in sequences of recent
acquisition*
Insertions and deletions occur more frequently in loops
Overall less loss than acquisition?(Daubin et al., Genome Biol., 4:R57, 2003;
Ochman and Jones, EMBO J., 19:6637, 2000)
![Page 29: The E. coli Extended Genome](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062322/56814686550346895db3a881/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)

As in the case of random mutation, there might be a blind, random uptake and loss of available foreign genetic sequences;
environmental selection and random drift determines the fate of these constructions.

E. coli - where alien genes come from?
• Enterobacteriaceae (56 %) (Klebsiella, Salmonella, Serratia, Yersinia); Aeromonas, Xylella, Ralstonia, Caulobacter, Agrobacterium
• Plasmids (28 %) - about 250 plasmids identified in E. coli. • Phages (10%) + many ORFan genes (64 MG1655-specific)
(Modified from Duphraigne et al., NAR 33, 2005, and Daubin&Ochman, Genome Research, 2004)
The E. coli “Gene Exchange Community” should be better identified!
![Page 31: The E. coli Extended Genome](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062322/56814686550346895db3a881/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
E. coli Recipient Barriers for Horizontal Gene Transfer
• Ecological separation from donor• DNA sequence divergence• Low numbers• Inadequate phage receptors• Inadequate pilus specificity for mating• Contact-killing or inhibition• Surface exclusion• Restriction*; no anti-restriction mechanisms, gene inactivation• Absence of replication of foreign gene, incompatibility• Absence of integration of foreign gene in specific sites• No recombination with host genome (AT/CG), MMR system• Decrease in fitness of recipient after DNA acquisition • No more room for new DNA: Headroom (Maximal Genome?)
*200 enzymes!

Sequence divergence reduces
acquisition of foreign DNA
If the acquisition produce neutral events the tolerance increases
Deleterious events are frequent with high
divergence, but eventual beneficial
events are rare with low divergence rates

Extensive “McFarlane-Burnett” Model and Evolution of Bacterial Pathogenicity
• Every evolutionary element (clones, chromosomal sequences, plasmids, transposons, islands, recombinases, insertion sequences...) is independently submitted to apparently random spontaneous variation.
• Combinations of the variant elements are constantly constructed apparently at random.
• Eventually a given combination is selected and enriched by an unexpected advantage (colonization-pathogenicity) or fixed by drift.
Pre-pathogens are probably constantly constructed; many of them eliminated by immunity and normal microbiota

The opportunity of meeting interesting people: E. coli in the environment
• It has been suggested that one-half of E. coli population resides in primary habitats (warm-blooded hosts) and one-half in soil or water.
• Tropical waters harbor natural populations of E. coli (Carrillo et al., AEM 50:468, 1985)
• In nutrient-rich soils, particularly with cyclic periods of wet and dry weather, E. coli is member of normal microflora (Winfield and Groisman, AEM 69:3687, 2003)

E. coli in the environment
• Land disposal practices of sewage and sewage sludges that result from wastewater treatment.
• More than 3 million gallons of sewage effluent from more than 3,000 land treatment sites and 15 million septic tanks were applied to land every day in 1984 (Keswick, BH. 1984)
• More than 7 million dry tons of sewage sludge are produced anually and 54 % of this is applied to soil

E. coli in the environment
• EPA Class A Biosolids
Less than 103 thermotolerant coliforms/g, for lawns, home gardens, as commercial fertilizer.
• EPA Class B Biosolids
Less than 106 thermotolerant coliforms/g, for land application, forest lands, reclamation sites. During a period, access is limited to public and livestock.

The Extended Genome
A genetic space composed by the sum of:• The sequences corresponding to the maximal
core genome of all clones (ortologs-paralogs), plus • The sequences of all loops that have been
inserted in such a core in the different natural (successful at one time) clones or lineages: ecotypes, geotypes, pathotypes.., plus
• The sequences of all extra-chromosomal elements stably associated with any clone

The Extended E. coli Genome
• Research to increase our interpretative, predictive and preventive capability about Escherichia coli evolutionary biology.
• Catalog of sequences of all evolutionary relevant pieces* in E. coli.
• Network of all interactions between pieces.
• Modelization of combinations that might emerge under particular environmental or clinical conditions.
