Transcriptome analysis reveals global regulation in response to CO2 supplementation in oleaginous microalga Coccomyxa subellipsoidea C-169

ABSTRACT: The microalga Coccomyxa subellipsoidea C-169 possesses some features that may be valuable for lipid production, and, as demonstrated in this study, can be greatly induced to produce a high amount of fatty acid by CO2 supplementation. Here we have compared the transcriptome of air group (AG, cells cultured under 0.04% CO2) and CO2-supplemented group (CG, cells cultured under 2% CO2), and found that dramatic and collaborative regulation in central metabolic pathways as well as biochemical processes occured in response to CO2 supplementation. This study gains a broad understanding of how CO2 stress regulates gene expression and eventually reveals a fine-tuned strategy adopted by C-169 to sustain rapid cell growth and lipid production, which will be helpful for the implementation of biofuels production from oleaginous microalgae. Transcriptomic profiles of Coccomyxa subellipsoidea C-169 cultured for 4 days under two CO2 levels (0.04% and 2%, v/v) were generated by digital gene expression (DGE) analysis, in triplicate, using Illumina Hiseq2000.

Project description:169 ddm1-derived epigenetic recombinant inbred lines (epiRILs) were obtained from the Versailles Arabidopsis Stock center of INRA (http://publiclines.versailles.inra.fr/) and they were propagated in a fully automatic phenotyping facility for small plants at the Leibniz Institute of Plant Genetics and Crop Plant Research (IPK). Whole Genome Bisulphite Sequencing was performed at the Beijing Genome Institute.
Project description:Expression profiling of the three clonotypic lineages dominating T. gondii populations in North America and Europe provides a first comprehensive view of the parasite transcriptome. Prugniaud, RH, and VEG strain parasites were cultured in human foreskin fibroblast (HFF) cells as previously described (Roos, Donald et al. 1994). Prior to host cell rupture, cells were scraped from the flask and spun at 300g for 9 min. The resultant pellet was lysed with Buffer RLT from the Qiagen RNeasy Mini Kit (Valencia, CA) and RNA was extracted according to the manufacturerâs instructions. Labeled cRNA was created using the One-Cycle Labeling protocol in the Affymetrix GeneChip® IVT Labeling Kit (Santa Clara, CA). Hybridization, washing, and scanning of arrays was performed using standard Affymetrix instrumentation and protocols for 11 micron, 169 format arrays. Biological triplicates were generated for each strain and expression values computed using the RMA implementation (default parameters) in the affy package from Bioconductor (Gentleman, Carey et al. 2004).
