Multilocus Sequence Analysis (MLSA) of ‘Rickettsiella agriotidis’, an Intracellular Bacterial Pathogen of Agriotes Wireworms

Abstract	Wireworms, the polyphagous larvae of click beetles belonging to the genus Agriotes (Coleoptera: Elateridae) are severe and widespread agricultural pests that affect numerous crops globally. A new bacterial specimen identified in diseased wireworms had previously been shown by microscopy and 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene-based phylogenetic reconstruction to belong to the taxonomic genus Rickettsiella (Gammaproteobacteria) that comprises intracellular bacteria associated with and typically pathogenic for a wide range of arthropods. Going beyond these earlier results obtained from rRNA phylogenies, multilocus sequence analysis (MLSA) using a four marker scheme has been employed in the molecular taxonomic characterization of the new Rickettsiella pathotype, referred to as ‘Rickettsiella agriotidis’. In combination with likelihood-based significance testing, the MLSA approach demonstrated the close phylogenetic relationship of ‘R. agriotidis’ to the pathotypes ‘Rickettsiella melolonthae’ and ‘Rickettsiella tipulae’, i.e., subjective synonyms of the nomenclatural type species, Rickettsiella popilliae. ‘R. agriotidis’ forms, therefore, part of a Rickettsiella pathotype complex that most likely represents the species R. popilliae. As there are currently no genetic data available from the R. popilliae type strain, the respective assignment cannot be corroborated directly. However, an alternative taxonomic assignment to the species Rickettsiella grylli has been positively ruled out by significance testing. MLSA has been shown to provide a more powerful tool for taxonomic delineation within the genus Rickettsiella as compared to 16S rRNA phylogenetics. However, the limitations of the present MLSA scheme for the sub-species level classification of ‘R. agriotidis’ and further R. popilliae synonyms has been critically evaluated.
