A single-cell view on alga-virus interactions reveals sequential transcriptional programs and infection states

ABSTRACT: We performed single-cell transcriptome analysis (using MARS-seq) for the worldwide-distributed microalga Emiliania huxleyi during infection by its specific coccolithovirus. Our results provide insights into the expression programs and infection strategies of the large virus, and highlight the potential of single-cell RNA-sequencing for microbial eukaryotes in the lab and in the field.

The Role of Vitamin D in Emiliania huxleyi: A Microalgal Perspective on UV-B Exposure

Project description:An essential interaction between sunlight and eukaryotes involves the production of vitamin D through exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation. While extensively studied in vertebrates, the role of vitamin D in non-animal eukaryotes like microalgae remains unclear. To investigate the potential involvement of vitamin D in the response of microalgae to UV, we focus on Emiliania huxleyi, a microalga found in shallow ocean depths that are exposed to UV radiation. Our results show that E. huxleyi algae produce vitamin D2 and D3 in response to UV irradiation. We further demonstrate that E. huxleyi algae respond to external administration of vitamin D at the transcriptional level, regulating the expression of protective mechanisms that are also regulated in response to UV. Our data reveal that addition of vitamin D enhances the algal photosynthetic performance while reducing harmful reactive oxygen species buildup. This study contributes to understanding the function of vitamin D in E. huxleyi and sheds light on its role in non-animal eukaryotes, as well as its potential importance in marine ecosystems.

Cell-to-cell heterogeneity drives host-virus coexistence in a bloom-forming alga

Project description:Algal blooms drive global biogeochemical cycles of key nutrients in the oceans and serve as hotspots for biological interactions. The massive spring blooms of the cosmopolitan coccolithophore Emiliania huxleyi (E. huxleyi) are often infected by the lytic Emiliania huxleyi specific virus (EhV) which is a major mortality agent triggering bloom demise. Nonetheless, the multi-annual 'boom and bust' pattern of E. huxleyi suggests that mechanisms of coexistence are essential for these host-virus dynamics. To investigate host-virus coexistence, we developed a new model system from an E. huxleyi culture which recovered from viral infection. The recovered population coexists with the virus, as host cells continue to grow in parallel to viral production. By applying a single-molecule fluorescence in situ hybridization (smFISH) approach to quantify the fraction of infected cells and assessing infection-specific lipid biomarkers, we identified a small subpopulation (5-7% of cells) that was infected and produced new virions, whereas the majority of the host population could resist infection. To further assess population heterogeneity, we generated monoclonal strain collections using single-cell sorting and subsequently phenotyped their susceptibility to EhV infection. This unraveled a substantial cell-to-cell heterogeneity across a continuum of susceptibility to resistance, suggesting that infection outcomes may vary depending on the individual cell. These results add a new dimension to our understanding of the complexity of host-virus interactions that are commonly assessed in bulk and described by binary definitions of resistance or susceptibility. We propose that phenotypic heterogeneity drives E. huxleyi-EhV coexistence and may potentially provide the coexisting strain an ecological advantage by killing competing susceptible strains.

Unveiling the transcriptional features associated with coccolithovirus infection of natural Emiliania huxleyi blooms.

Project description:Lytic viruses have been implicated in the massive cellular lysis observed during algal blooms, through which they assume a prominent role in oceanic carbon and nutrient flows. Despite their impact on biogeochemical cycling, the transcriptional dynamics of these important oceanic events is still poorly understood. Here, we employ an oligonucleotide microarray to monitor host (Emiliania huxleyi) and virus (coccolithovirus) transcriptomic features during the course of E. huxleyi blooms induced in seawater-based mesocosm enclosures. Host bloom development and subsequent coccolithovirus infection was associated with a major shift in transcriptional profile. In addition to the expected metabolic requirements typically associated with viral infection (amino acid and nucleotide metabolism, as well as transcription- and replication-associated functions), the results strongly suggest that the manipulation of lipid metabolism plays a fundamental role during host-virus interaction. The results herein reveal the scale, so far massively underestimated, of the transcriptional domination that occurs during coccolithovirus infection in the natural environment.
