The complete mitochondrial genome of the hydrozoan jellyfish Turritopsis lata Lendenfeld, 1885 (Cnidaria; Hydrozoa; Anthoathecata) with molecular phylogenetic analysis.

ABSTRACT: In this study, we sequenced and analyzed the complete mitochondrial genome (mtgenome) of the hydrozoan jellyfish Turritopsis lata. The mtgenome was a complete linear form (15,047 bp in length, 30.9% A, 42.1% T, 12.5% C, and 14.5% G), including 13 protein coding genes (PCGs) (cox1, cox2, cox3, atp6, atp8, nad1, nad2, nad3, nad4, nad4L, nad5, nad6, and cytb), 2 tRNAs (tRNA^Met and tRNA^Trp), and 2 rRNAs (12S and 16S rRNA). The genome structure of the T. lata was completely identical to those of other species within the subclass Hydroidolina. In addition, our molecular phylogenetic analysis using 13 PCGs within hydrozoans showed that T. lata was the closest to Turritopsis dohrnii.

The complete mitochondrial genome and phylogenetic analysis of hydrozoan jellyfish Eirene ceylonensis (Cnidaria, Hydrozoa, Eirenidae) in the coastal sea of Qinhuangdao, China.

Project description:Eirene ceylonensis, a hydrozoan jellyfish species with a complex polymorphic life cycle, is widely distributed in the Chinese coastal sea. In this study, we conducted sequencing and analysis of the first complete mitochondrial genome of E. ceylonensis, obtained from the coastal sea of Qinhuangdao, China. The linear mitochondrial genome is 14,997 bp in length with the overall AT content being 72.8%, encoding 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), two transfer RNA (tRNA) genes (tRNA-Met and tRNA-Trp) and two ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes (rrnS and rrnL). Phylogenetic analysis of 13 PCGs suggests that the E. ceylonensis is closely related to Laomedea flexuosa. The availability of the complete mitochondrial genome of E. ceylonensis will be useful for studying the evolutionary relationships of hydrozoan jellyfish species.

Transcriptome Characterization of Reverse Development in Turritopsis dohrnii (Hydrozoa, Cnidaria).

Project description:Medusae of Turritopsis dohrnii undergo reverse development in response to physical damage, adverse environmental conditions, or aging. Senescent, weakened or damaged medusae transform into a cluster of poorly differentiated cells (known as the cyst stage), which metamorphose back into a preceding life cycle stage, the polyp. During the metamorphosis, cell transdifferentiation occurs. The cyst represents the intermediate stage between a reverting medusa and a healthy polyp, during which cell transdifferentiation and tissue reorganization take place. Here we characterize and compare the transcriptomes of the polyp and newborn medusa stages of T. dohrnii with that of the cyst, to identify biological networks potentially involved in the reverse development and transdifferentiation processes. The polyp, medusa and cyst of T. dohrnii were sequenced through Illumina RNA-sequencing and assembled using a de novo approach, resulting in 92,569, 74,639 and 86,373 contigs, respectively. The transcriptomes were annotated and comparative analyses among the stages identified biological networks that were significantly over-and under-expressed in the cyst as compared to the polyp and medusa stages. Biological processes that occur at the cyst stage such as telomerase activity, regulation of transposable elements and DNA repair systems, and suppression of cell signaling pathways, mitotic cell division and cellular differentiation and development may be involved in T. dohrnii's reverse development and transdifferentiation. Our results are the first attempt to understand T. dohrnii's life-cycle reversal at the genetic level, and indicate possible avenues of future research on developmental strategies, cell transdifferentiation, and aging using T. dohrnii as a non-traditional in vivo system.

Species-specific crab predation on the hydrozoan clinging jellyfish Gonionemus sp. (Cnidaria, Hydrozoa), subsequent crab mortality, and possible ecological consequences.

Project description:Here we report a unique trophic interaction between the cryptogenic and sometimes highly toxic hydrozoan clinging jellyfish Gonionemus sp. and the spider crab Libinia dubia. We assessed species-specific predation on the Gonionemus medusae by crabs found in eelgrass meadows in Massachusetts, USA. The native spider crab species L. dubia consumed Gonionemus medusae, often enthusiastically, but the invasive green crab Carcinus maenus avoided consumption in all trials. One out of two blue crabs (Callinectes sapidus) also consumed Gonionemus, but this species was too rare in our study system to evaluate further. Libinia crabs could consume up to 30 jellyfish, which was the maximum jellyfish density treatment in our experiments, over a 24-hour period. Gonionemus consumption was associated with Libinia mortality. Spider crab mortality increased with Gonionemus consumption, and 100% of spider crabs tested died within 24 h of consuming jellyfish in our maximum jellyfish density containers. As the numbers of Gonionemus medusae used in our experiments likely underestimate the number of medusae that could be encountered by spider crabs over a 24-hour period in the field, we expect that Gonionemus may be having a negative effect on natural Libinia populations. Furthermore, given that Libinia overlaps in habitat and resource use with Carcinus, which avoids Gonionemus consumption, Carcinus populations could be indirectly benefiting from this unusual crab-jellyfish trophic relationship.

Ontogeny reversal and phylogenetic analysis of Turritopsis sp.5 (Cnidaria, Hydrozoa, Oceaniidae), a possible new species endemic to Xiamen, China.

Project description:Ontogeny reversal, as seen in some cnidarians, is an unprecedented phenomenon in the animal kingdom involving reversal of the ordinary life cycle. Three species of Turritopsis have been shown to be capable of inverted metamorphosis, a process in which the pelagic medusa transforms back into a juvenile benthic polyp stage when faced with adverse conditions. Turritopsis sp.5 is a species of Turritopsis collected from Xiamen, China which presents a similar ability, being able to reverse its life cycle if injured by mechanical stress. Phylogenetic analysis based on both 16S rDNA and cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) genetic barcodes shows that Turritopsis sp.5 is phylogenetically clustered in a clade separate from other species of Turritopsis. The genetic distance between T. sp.5 and the Japanese species T. sp.2 is the shortest, when measured by the Kimura 2-Parameter metric, and the distance to the New Zealand species T. rubra is the largest. An experimental assay on the induction of reverse development in this species was initiated by cutting medusae into upper and lower parts. We show, for the first time, that the two dissected parts have significantly different potentials to transform into polyps. Also, a series of morphological changes of the reversed life cycle can be recognised, including medusa stage, contraction stage I, contraction stage II, cyst, cyst with stolons, and polyp. The discovery of species capable of reverse ontogeny caused by unfavorable conditions adds to the available systems with which to study the cell types that contribute to the developmental reversal and the molecular mechanisms of the directional determination of ontogeny.

Towards a phylogenetic classification of Leptothecata (Cnidaria, Hydrozoa).

Project description:Leptothecata are hydrozoans whose hydranths are covered by perisarc and gonophores and whose medusae bear gonads on their radial canals. They develop complex polypoid colonies and exhibit considerable morphological variation among species with respect to growth, defensive structures and mode of development. For instance, several lineages within this order have lost the medusa stage. Depending on the author, traditional taxonomy in hydrozoans may be either polyp- or medusa-oriented. Therefore, the absence of the latter stage in some lineages may lead to very different classification schemes. Molecular data have proved useful in elucidating this taxonomic challenge. We analyzed a super matrix of new and published rRNA gene sequences (16S, 18S and 28S), employing newly proposed methods to measure branch support and improve phylogenetic signal. Our analysis recovered new clades not recognized by traditional taxonomy and corroborated some recently proposed taxa. We offer a thorough taxonomic revision of the Leptothecata, erecting new orders, suborders, infraorders and families. We also discuss the origination and diversification dynamics of the group from a macroevolutionary perspective.

The complete mitochondrial genome of the mauve stinger jellyfish Pelagia noctiluca Forskal, 1775 (Cnidaria, Scyphozoa, Semaeostomeae) with phylogenetic analysis.

Project description:This study determined the complete mitochondrial genome of the jellyfish Pelagia noctiluca (Scyphozoa, Semaeostomeae) for the first time. The genome was a linear molecule of 16,390 bp in length and 59.3% AT. It comprised of 13 typical protein-coding genes (cox1-3, nd1-6, nd4L, atp6, atp8, and cytB), two ribosomal RNAs (16S and 12S rRNA), and two tRNAs (trnM and trnW). In addition, we detected two additional open reading frames (polB and ORF314) at one end of the genome. The gene-coding structures were identical to those of other scyphozoans. Based on a molecular phylogeny constructed using 13 protein-coding genes, P. noctiluca has the closest genetic relationship with the genus Chrysaora (Semaeostomeae).
