Complete female-transmitted mitochondrial genomes of two freshwater mussels from the Lake Biwa system in Japan: Nodularia douglasiae and N. nipponensis.

ABSTRACT: We determined the complete mitochondrial sequences of female-transmitted (F) mitogenomes of two unionid specimens from the Lake Biwa system, Japan. Their gene contents and orders agreed with those of the typical F mitogenome of freshwater mussels. Molecular phylogenetic analysis using 20 previously identified partial COI and seven (five previously identified and two newly determined) whole mitogenome sequences revealed that one of the two mitogenomes was that of Nodularia douglasiae, while the other was N. nipponensis.

The complete mitochondrial genome of freshwater mussel Nodularia douglasiae (Unionidae) from Lake Kasumigaura, Japan, and its phylogenetic analysis.

Project description:We have sequenced the female type (F-type) mitochondrial genome of Nodularia douglasiae (Unioninae, Unionidae, Unionida, Bivalvia) from Lake Kasumigaura, Japan, and inferred the Unioninae phylogeny using complete mitochondrial genome sequences. The complete F-type mitochondrial genome (15,779 bp; LC496352) contains 13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNA genes, and 22 tRNA genes. Molecular phylogenetic analyses using complete F-type mitochondrial genomes from 15 Unioninae species including N. douglasiae from China and Korea were performed. This study should be basic data to investigate the genetic diversity of freshwater mussel N. douglasiae.

Complete F mitochondrial genomes of two freshwater mussels from the Lake Biwa system in Japan: Beringiana fukuharai and Sinanodonta tumens.

Project description:We determined the complete mitochondrial sequences of female-transmitted (F) mitogenomes of six unionid specimens from the Lake Biwa system, Japan. Their gene contents and orders agreed with those of the typical F mitogenome of freshwater mussels. Molecular phylogenetic analysis using fifteen previously identified partial COI and 12 (six previously identified and six newly determined) whole mitogenome sequences revealed that five of the six mitogenomes (LC592401, LC592402, LC592403, LC592408, and LC592410) were those of Beringiana fukuharai, while the remaining one (LC592406) was Sinanodonta tumens.

Morphological and phylogenetic characterizations of freshwater Thioploca species from Lake Biwa, Japan, and Lake Constance, Germany.

Project description:Filamentous, gliding, sulfide-oxidizing bacteria of the genus Thioploca were found on sediments in profundal areas of Lake Biwa, a Japanese freshwater mesotrophic lake, and were characterized morphologically and phylogenetically. The Lake Biwa Thioploca resembled morphologically Thioploca ingrica, a brackish water species from a Danish fjord. The diameters of individual trichomes were 3 to 5.6 microm; the diameters of complete Thioploca filaments ranged from 18 to 75 micro m. The cell lengths ranged from 1.2 to 3.8 micro m. In transmission electron microscope specimens stained with uranyl acetate, dense intracellular particles were found, which did not show any positive signals for phosphorus and sulfur in an X-ray analysis. The 16S rRNA gene of the Thioploca from Lake Biwa was amplified by using newly designed Thioploca-specific primers (706-Thioploca, Biwa160F, and Biwa829R) in combination with general bacterial primers in order to avoid nonspecific amplification of contaminating bacterial DNA. Denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) analysis of the three overlapping PCR products resulted in single DGGE bands, indicating that a single 16S rRNA gene had been amplified. With the same method, the Thioploca from Lake Constance was examined. The 16S rRNA sequence was verified by performing fluorescence in situ hybridization targeted at specific motifs of the Lake Biwa THIOPLOCA: Positive signals were obtained with the bacterial probe EUB-338, the gamma-proteobacterial probe GAM42a, and probe Biwa829 targeting the Lake Biwa THIOPLOCA: Based on the nearly complete 16S rRNA sequence and on morphological similarities, the Thioploca from Lake Biwa and the Thioploca from Lake Constance are closely related to T. ingrica and to each other.

The complete mitochondrial genome of a freshwater mussel Nodularia douglasiae (Bivalvia: Unionidae).

Project description:The circular F-type mitochondrial genome (15,761 bp) was completely sequenced for a Korean freshwater mussel Nodularia douglasiae (synonym Unio douglasiae; Unionidae, Unionida, Bivalvia). It contains 13 PCGs, two rRNA genes, and 22 tRNA genes, as generally shown in metazoan mitochondrial genomes. Its gene order is identical to that of F-type mitochondrial genomes observed in other freshwater mussels. With nucleotide and amino acid sequences of the complete F-type mitochondrial genomes obtained from 38 unionid species reported so far, phylogenetic analyses were done and discussed. The present study may give valuable helps to explore genetic diversity and population structures of other freshwater mussels as well as N. douglasiae.

Seasonal Variation in Viral Infection Rates and Cell Sizes of Infected Prokaryotes in a Large and Deep Freshwater Lake (Lake Biwa, Japan).

Project description:As viruses regulate prokaryotic abundance and the carbon cycle by infecting and lysing their prokaryotic hosts, the volume of infected prokaryotes is an important parameter for understanding the impact of viruses on aquatic environments. However, literature regarding the seasonal and spatial variations in the cell volume of infected prokaryotes is limited, despite the volume of the prokaryotic community varying dynamically with season and water column depth. Here, we conducted a field survey for two annual cycles in a large and deep freshwater lake (Lake Biwa, Japan), where large prokaryotes inhabit the deeper layer during the stratified period. We used transmission electron microscopy to reveal the seasonal and spatial variation in the frequency of viral infection and cell volume of infected prokaryotes. We found that the viral infection rate in the surface layer increased when estimated contact rates increased during the middle of the stratified period, whereas the infection rate in the deeper layer increased despite low estimated contact rates during the end of the stratified period. In addition, in the deeper layer, the fraction of large prokaryotes in the total and infected prokaryotic communities increased progressively while the number of intracellular viral particles increased. We suggest different ways in which the viral abundance is maintained in the two water layers. In the surface layer, it is speculated that viral abundance is supported by the high viral infection rate because of the high activity of prokaryotes, whereas in the deeper layer, it might be supported by the larger number of intracellular viral particles released from large prokaryotes. Moreover, large prokaryotes could contribute as important sources of organic substrates via viral lysis in the deeper layer, where labile dissolved organic matter is depleted.

Seasonal distribution of cyprinid herpesvirus 3 in Lake Biwa, Japan.

Project description:The seasonal distribution of the cyprinid herpesvirus 3 (CyHV-3) in Lake Biwa, Japan, was investigated. CyHV-3 was distributed all over the lake 5 years after the first outbreak. The mean concentration of CyHV-3 in water showed annual oscillation, with a peak in the summer and a trough in winter. Our results suggested that CyHV-3 is present at high density in reductive environments, such as reed zones and turbid or eutrophic water.

Recent lake expansion triggered the adaptive radiation of freshwater snails in the ancient Lake Biwa.

Project description:Lake expansion that leads to the formation of new habitats has potential to drive intralacustrine diversification. The ancient Lake Biwa in central Japan has historically experienced substantial changes in the lake size, and it provides a useful system for evaluating the role of lake-size fluctuations in the diversification of endemic fauna. Here, we used genome-wide DNA analyses and reconstructed the diversification history of the endemic freshwater snails belonging to the subgenus Biwamelania with respect to the geological history of Lake Biwa. We found that two genetically distinct snail lineages independently colonized Lake Biwa and they concurrently and rapidly radiated into 15 extant Biwamelania species. A combination of paleontological evidence and molecular dating technique demonstrated that the radiation of Biwamelania was tightly linked to the latest enlargement of the lake about 0.4 million years ago and suggested that increased ecological opportunity associated with the lake expansion drove the rapid adaptive radiation. We propose that the Biwamelania snails in Lake Biwa offer a promising new system for understanding the association between the geological history of the lake and rapid intralacustrine diversification.
