08 Adversarial Revisions
Jupyter notebook from the Plant Microbiome Ecotypes project.
08 - Adversarial Revisions¶
This notebook addresses critical issues raised during adversarial review of the plant microbiome ecotype classification (25,660 bacterial species into beneficial / pathogenic / dual-nature / neutral cohorts).
Key concerns tested here:
- T3SS / T6SS sensitivity -- are dual-nature assignments inflated by counting secretion systems as pathogenic?
- PGP vs pathogen score scatter -- visual validation with known organisms
- Marker co-occurrence drivers -- what actually makes species "dual-nature"?
- Plant-filtered genus dossiers -- remove non-plant genera from the top-30
- Genome-size normalization -- do large genomes accumulate markers by chance?
- PERMDISP test -- are cohort differences in marker profiles confounded by dispersion?
- Negative controls -- do non-plant genera get classified as beneficial?
- Family-level phylogenetic control -- do novel OGs survive family-level confounding?
- Predictive classifier -- can markers predict compartment or cohort?
- Pfam pipeline investigation -- do target Pfams exist in the database?
- HGT per-marker transposase co-occurrence
- HGT contig co-location analysis

2. T3SS / T6SS Sensitivity Analysis¶
Concern: The dual-nature finding (60-85% of plant species) may be inflated because T3SS and T6SS are classified as "pathogenic" markers. Many beneficial plant-associated bacteria carry these secretion systems for commensal colonization, not virulence.
We reclassify T3SS, T3SS-product, T6SS, T6SS-product, and T2SS as "colonization" markers and recompute cohort assignments.

4. Marker Co-occurrence Analysis: What Drives Dual-Nature?¶
For all species classified as dual-nature, compute the prevalence of each individual marker. This reveals which specific markers are responsible for the dual classification.
In [4]:
# Identify dual-nature species (original classification)
dual_mask = smm['marker_cohort'] == 'dual_nature'
n_dual = dual_mask.sum()
print(f'Dual-nature species (original): {n_dual}')
# All boolean _present columns
all_present = [c for c in smm.columns if c.endswith('_present')]
# Compute prevalence in dual-nature species
prev = smm.loc[dual_mask, all_present].mean().sort_values(ascending=True)
prev.index = [c.replace('_present', '') for c in prev.index]
# Classify each marker as PGP or pathogenic for coloring
pgp_set = set(PGP_MARKERS)
path_set = set(ORIGINAL_PATHOGENIC)
colors = []
for m in prev.index:
if m in pgp_set:
colors.append('#4CAF50')

Dual-nature species (original): 15474
If T3SS + T6SS are removed from pathogenic classification, 2531/15474 (16.4%) of dual-nature species would be reclassified as PGP-only.
5. Plant-Filtered Genus Dossiers¶
The original top-30 genus dossiers include non-plant genera (e.g., Prevotella, Streptococcus, Bifidobacterium). Here we filter to genera whose primary compartment is a plant or soil compartment.
In [5]:
PLANT_SOIL = {'root', 'rhizosphere', 'phyllosphere', 'endophyte', 'plant_other', 'soil'}
# Try to use primary_compartment from genus_dossiers first
if 'primary_compartment' in gdoss.columns:
plant_genera = gdoss[gdoss['primary_compartment'].isin(PLANT_SOIL)].copy()
else:
# Rebuild from cohort_assignments + species_compartment
coho_comp = coho.merge(
scomp[['gtdb_species_clade_id', 'dominant_compartment']],
on='gtdb_species_clade_id', how='left',
)
# Find genera where majority of species are in plant/soil compartments
genus_comp = coho_comp.groupby('genus')['dominant_compartment'].apply(
lambda x: x.value_counts().idxmax()
).reset_index()
genus_comp.columns = ['genus', 'primary_compartment']
plant_genus_list = genus_comp[genus_comp['primary_compartment'].isin(PLANT_SOIL)]['genus'].tolist()
plant_genera = gdoss[gdoss['genus'].isin(plant_genus_list)].copy()
# Top 30 by species count
if 'n_species' in plant_genera.columns:
top30_plant = plant_genera.nlargest(30, 'n_species')
else:
# Count from cohort_assignments
genus_counts = coho['genus'].value_counts().reset_index()
genus_counts.columns = ['genus', 'n_species_total']
plant_genera = plant_genera.merge(genus_counts, on='genus', how='left')
top30_plant = plant_genera.nlargest(30, 'n_species_total')
display_cols = [c for c in top30_plant.columns if c not in ['dual_assessment']]
print(f'Plant/soil-filtered genus dossiers (top 30 by species count):')
print(top30_plant[display_cols].to_string(index=False))

6. Genome Size Normalization¶
Concern: Larger genomes (more gene clusters) may accumulate more marker genes by chance, inflating dual-nature classification. We test the correlation between genome size and marker count and check whether normalization changes cohort assignments.
In [6]:
# Merge pangenome stats with marker matrix

pstats[['gtdb_species_clade_id', 'no_gene_clusters']],

)
# Correlation

7. PERMDISP Test¶
Test whether between-cohort differences in binary marker profiles could be driven by unequal dispersion (heterogeneity of variance in multivariate space) rather than genuine location shifts. We use a Jaccard distance matrix and compare within-group dispersions.

ADVERSARIAL REVISION SUMMARY
========================================================================
1. T3SS/T6SS Sensitivity Analysis
Original dual-nature: 15474 (60.3%)
Revised dual-nature: 16293 (63.5%)
Change: -819 species reclassified
Plant-species revised dual-nature: 959/1115 (86.0%)
2. Genome Size Effect
Correlation (gene clusters vs markers): r=0.4356, p=0.00e+00
=> Moderate-to-strong correlation; genome size may inflate marker counts.
3. PERMDISP Test
H-statistic=33.12, p=3.04e-07
=> Dispersions differ; some caution needed interpreting cohort differences.
4. Negative Controls
Staphylococcus: 98% beneficial+dual (n=61)
Mycoplasma: 20% beneficial+dual (n=5)
Escherichia: 100% beneficial+dual (n=11)
Salmonella: 100% beneficial+dual (n=5)

Bifidobacterium: 49% beneficial+dual (n=77)
5. Family-Level Phylogenetic Control
0/10 novel OGs remain significant after family-level control.
6. Predictive Classifier
Compartment (root/rhizo/phyllo): 5-fold CV accuracy = 0.644
Cohort: 5-fold CV accuracy = 0.999
7. Pfam Pipeline Investigation

8. HGT Adjacency Findings
Co-located marker-transposase pairs: 498677
Median gene distance: 714
Strongest HGT signal: coronatine_toxin (OR=inf)
9. Interpretation Changes
- The dual-nature fraction decreases when T3SS/T6SS are excluded
from pathogenic classification, supporting the concern that
secretion systems inflate dual-nature assignments.
- Genome size correlation should be reported as a caveat.
- Negative controls help calibrate marker specificity.
- Family-level phylogenetic control tests whether novel OGs
reflect genuine ecological adaptation vs. phylogenetic inertia.
