Plateforme GenoSol : une structure logistique d'appui à la recherche sur la microbiologie des sols et de l'environnement
EA SPE GenoSol EcolDur CT3; Les communautés microbiennes du sol sont difficiles à caractériser. Ceci s’explique par une accessibilité plus ou moins importante des populations au sein d’une matrice hétérogène et structurée mais aussi par leur densité et diversité très importante qui rend difficile à résoudre l’information obtenue. Toutefois, grâce aux avancées méthodologiques qui ont eu lieu depuis une quinzaine d’années, les études d’écologie microbienne bénéficient maintenant d’une automatisation des outils moléculaires (extraction d’ADN, caractérisation du polymorphisme de l’ADN, séquençage haut débit, métagénomique, métaprotéomique…) permettant la caractérisation des ressources génétique…
Platform GenoSol: a new tool for conserving and exploring soil microbial diversity
International audience; Soils are the principal reservoirs of microbial diversity and represent a core component of terrestrial ecosystems. There is an increasing demand for assessing the impact of agricultural and industrial practices on the environment at large scales in a context of global change. To address this demand, taxonomic and functional diversity of soil microbial communities, and their stability over time need to be characterized for predicting soil quality upon human activities, the evolution of this quality being expected to affect environment quality and public health. Recent methodological progresses have led to the development and automation of molecular biological tools (…
GnS-PIPE: an optimized bionformatic pipeline to efficiently assess microbial taxonomic diversity of complex environments using high throughput sequencing technologies
International audience; The rRNA genes (16S, 18S, ITS) are widely used to study microbial communities in soils, as they can be easily amplified from metagenomic DNA. Moreover, the recent development of high-throughput sequencing technologies allows the assessment of millions of sequences from a single metagenomic DNA. Some pipelines are already available (e.g. QIIME or Mothur) to efficiently treat such data. However, the development of bioinformatic tools must now be validated by various biological tests. This was particularly true for key steps to appraise microbial diversity and richness. Here, we present a new pipeline named GnS-PIPE, a software application performing bacterial, archaeal…
