The Asian citrus psyllid (D. citri Kuwayama or ACP) is host to 7+ bacterial endosymbionts and is the insect vector of Ca. liberibacter asiaticus (Las), causal agent of citrus greening. To gain a better understanding of endosymbiont and pathogen ecology and develop improved detection strategies for Las, DNA from D. citri was sequenced to 108X coverage. Initial analyses have focused on Wolbachia, an alpha-proteobacterial primary endosymbiont typically found in the reproductive tissues of ACP and other arthropods. The metagenomic sequences were mined for wACP reads using BLAST and 4 sequenced Wolbachia genomes as bait. Putative wACP reads were then assembled using Velvet and MIRA3 assemblers over a range of parameter settings. The resulting wACP contigs were annotated using the RAST pipeline and compared to Wolbachia endosymbiont of Culex quinquefasciatus (wPip). MIRA3 was able to reconstruct a majority of the wPip CDS regions and was selected for scaffolding with Minimus2, SSPACE and SOPRA using large insert mate-pair libraries. The wACP scaffolds were compared to wPip using Abacas and Mauve contig mover to orient and order the contigs. The functional annotation of scaffolds was evaluated by comparing it to wPip genome using RAST. The draft assembly was verified using an OrthoMCL based comparison to the 4 sequenced Wolbachia genomes. We expanded the scope of endosymbiont characterization beyond wACP using 16S rDNA and partial 23S rDNA analysis as a guide. Results will be presented regarding endosymbionts, their potential interactions and their impact on the disease of citrus greening.
