A phylogenetic framework to investigate the microsporidian communities through metabarcoding and its application to lake ecosystems

Résumé

Microsporidia are obligate intracellular eukaryotic parasites known to parasitize many species of the animal kingdom as well as some protists. However, their diversity is underestimated, in part as a consequence of the failure of ‘universal’ primers to detect them in metabarcoding studies. Besides, due to the inconsistency between taxonomy and phylogenetic data, available databases may assign incorrectly sequences obtained with high-throughput sequencing. In this work, we developed a comprehensive reference database which positions microsporidian SSU rRNA gene sequences within a coherent ranked phylogenetic framework. We used this phylogenetic framework to study the microsporidian diversity in lacustrine ecosystems, focusing on < 150 μm planktonic size fractions. Our analysis shows a high diversity of Microsporidia, with the identification of 1531 OTUs distributed within seven clades, of which 76% were affiliated to clade IV2 and 20% to clade I (nomenclature presented hereby). About a quarter of the obtained sequences shared less than 85% identity to the closest known species, which might represent undescribed genera or families infecting small hosts. Variations in the abundance of Microsporidia were recorded between the two lakes sampled and across the sampling period, which might be explained by spatio-temporal variations of their potential hosts such as microeukaryotes and metazooplankton.
