    The fungus Colletotrichum lindemuthianum is the causal agent of anthracnose in the common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris), and anthracnose is one of the most devastating diseases of this plant species. However, little is known about the proteins that are essential for the fungus-plant interactions. Knowledge of the fungus’ arsenal of effector proteins is of great importance for understanding this pathosystem. In this work, we analyzed for the first time the arsenal of Colletotrichum lindemuthianum effector candidates (ClECs) and compared them with effector proteins from other species of the genus Colletotrichum, providing a valuable resource for studying the infection mechanisms of these pathogens in their hosts. Isolates of two physiological races (83.501 and 89 A2 2-3) of C. lindemuthianum were used to predict 353 and 349 ClECs, respectively. Of these ClECs, 63% were found to be rich in cysteine, have repetitive sequences of amino acids, and/or possess nuclear localization sequences. Several conserved domains were found between the ClECs. We also applied the effector prediction to nine species in the genus Colletotrichum, and the results ranged from 247 predicted effectors in Colletotrichum graminicola to 446 in Colletotrichum orbiculare. Twelve conserved domains were predicted in the effector candidates of all analyzed species of Colletotrichum. An expression analysis of the eight genes encoding the effector candidates in C. lindemuthianum revealed their induction during the biotrophic phase of the fungus on the bean.

    Development of new molecular markers for the Colletotrichum genus using RetroCl1 sequences
    (World Journal of Microbiology and Biotechnology, 2011-10-01) Santos, Leandro Vieira dos; Queiroz, Marisa Vieira de; Santana, Mateus Ferreira; Soares, Marcos Antonio; Barros, Everaldo Goncalves de; Araujo, Elza Fernandes de; Langin, Thierry
    A nonautonomous element of 624 bp, called RetroCl1 (Retroelement Colletotrichum lindemuthianum 1), was identified in the plant pathogenic fungus Colletotrichum lindemuthianum. RetroCl1 contains terminal direct repeats (223 bp) that are surrounded by CTAGT sequences. It has a short internal domain of 178 bp and shows characteristics of terminal-repeat retrotransposon in miniature (TRIM) family. We used RetroCl1 sequence to develop molecular markers for the Colletotrichum genus. IRAP (Inter-Retrotransposon Amplified Polymorphism) and REMAP (Retrotransposon-Microsatellite Amplified Polymorphism) markers were used to analyze the genetic diversity of C. lindemuthianum. Fifty-four isolates belonging to different races were used. A total of 45 loci were amplified. The Nei index showed significant differences among the populations divided according to race, indicating that they are structured according to pathotype. No clear correlation between IRAP and REMAP markers with pathogenic characterization was found. C. lindemuthianum has high genetic diversity, and the analysis of molecular variance showed that 51% of variability is found among the populations of different races. The markers were also tested in different Colletotrichum species. In every case, multiple bands were amplified, indicating that these markers can be successfully used in different species belonging to the Colletotrichum genus.

    Análise comparativa do genoma mitocondrial do fungo Colletotrichum lindemuthianum, agente causal da antracnose em feijão comum
    (Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology, 2018-02-16) Queiroz, Casley Borges de; Santana, Mateus Ferreira; Vidigal, Pedro M. Pereira; Queiroz, Marisa Vieira de
    Fungi of the genus Colletotrichum are economically important and are used as models in plant-pathogen interaction studies. In this study, the complete mitochondrial genomes of two Colletotrichum lindemuthianum isolates were sequenced and compared with the mitochondrial genomes of seven species of Colletotrichum. The mitochondrial genome of C. lindemuthianum is a typical circular molecule 37,446 bp (isolate 89 A2 2-3) and 37,440 bp (isolate 83.501) in length. The difference of six nucleotides between the two genomes is the result of a deletion in the ribosomal protein S3 (rps3) gene in the 83.501 isolate. In addition, substitution of adenine for guanine within the rps3 gene in the mitochondrial genome of the 83.501 isolate was observed. Compared to the previously sequenced C. lindemuthianum mitochondrial genome, an exon no annotated in the cytochrome c oxidase I (cox1) gene and a non-conserved open reading frame (ncORF) were observed. The size of the mitochondrial genomes of the seven species of Colletotrichum was highly variable, being attributed mainly to the ncORF, ranging from one to 10 and also from introns ranging from one to 11 and which encode a total of up to nine homing endonucleases. This paper reports for the first time by means of transcriptome that then ncORFs are transcribed in Colletotrichum spp. Phylogeny data revealed that core mitochondrial genes could be used as an alternative in phylogenetic relationship studies in Colletotrichum spp. This work contributes to the genetic and biological knowledge of Colletotrichum spp., which is of great economic and scientific importance.
