Project description:The association with photosymbiotic algae is crucial for the proliferation of many coral reef organisms, but increases their sensitivity to environmental changes. Large benthic foraminifera (LBF) are a diverse group of carbonate producers harboring algal photosymbionts. They act as key ecological engineers and are widely used as bioindicators. As in corals, elevated temperatures and light intensities are known to induce bleaching in LBF, but the combined effects of ocean acidification and warming remain unclear. To shed light into the adaptive physiology of LBF, we linked the assessment of the holobiont and photosymbiont physiological condition (mortality, growth, coloration, and chlorophyll a) to a bottom-up proteomics approach that allows the examination of cellular responses of host and symbionts simultaneously. In a two-months experiment, we exposed Amphistegina lobifera to the combined effects of ocean acidification (400, 1000 and 2800 ppm pCO2) and warming (28-control and 31°C). More than 1,000 proteins were identified by label-free mass spectrometry-based whole proteome analysis and assigned to the host or photosymbionts. Photopigment concentrations declined in response to elevated pCO2, visible by discoloration. These indicate the reduction of photosymbiont densities under ocean acidification, despite the fertilizing effects suggested for high inorganic carbon availability, and imply metabolic adjustments. Increases of proteolytic proteins suggest active host regulation of photosymbiont density in order to maintain homeostasis with its algal photosymbionts. Growth rates, however, were unaffected by elevated pCO2 levels at control temperatures, but high pCO2 levels (2800 ppm, pH 7.52) combined with thermal stress (31°C) impaired growth, though mortality and shell dissolution was negligible. While growth was unaffected by intermediate pCO2 levels (1000 ppm, pH 7.98) combined with ocean warming, this treatment induced the most distinct proteome responses. These include the regulation of ion transporters and host cytoplasmic proteins that likely abet calcification under ocean acidification. This study reveals a highly complex cellular response in both the host and the photosymbiont, which appears to facilitate a high resilience potential of A. lobifera to end of the century ocean conditions. Nevertheless, our results imply that when pCO2 levels rise above 1000 ppm during persistent ocean warming or extreme heating events these adaptive mechanisms become disrupted.

Project description:We report on differences in the transcriptome of larvea of Gadus morhua at age 6,13 and 36 days post hatch after exposure to predicted end-of-centrury pCO2 levels during embryonic and larval stage. Number of DE genes increases with age. At 6 and 13 dph, 3 and 16 genes are DE, while 1314 are DE at 36dph, most likely caused by divergent development in response to increased pCO2

Project description:To investigate the effects of ocean acidification (OA) and their energy-dependent modulation in the life-cycle stages of E.huxleyi, diploid and haploid cells were acclimated to present and future CO2 partial pressures (pCO2; 38.5 Pa vs. 101.3 Pa CO2) under low and high light (50 vs. 300 M-5mol photons m-2 s-1). Microarray-based transcriptome profiling was used to screen for cellular processes that underlie the physiological OA-responses observed earlier (Rokitta & Rost 2012)

Project description:We sequenced complementary DNA created from white muscle messenger RNA in juvenile blue rockfish and performed a differential gene expression analysis to describe the fishes' responses to the global change-related stressors of high pCO2 (low pH) and hypoxia (low dissolved oxygen, DO). To examine gene expression over ecologically realistic timescales that emulate the duration of spring upwelling events in the California Current ecosystem, we collected and sequenced samples after 12 h, 24 h and two weeks of exposure to four treatments: control (pH≈8.0, pCO2≈400μatm, DO≈8 mg/L), high pCO2 (pH≈7.6, pCO2≈1200μatm, DO≈8 mg/L), hypoxic (pH≈8.0, pCO2≈400μatm, DO≈4 mg/L), and combined high pCO2/hypoxic (pH≈7.6, pCO2≈1200μatm, DO≈4 mg/L).

Project description:Increasing atmospheric CO2 concentrations are causing decreased pH over vast expanses of the ocean. This decreasing pH may alter biogeochemical cycling of carbon and nitrogen via the microbial process of nitrification, a key process that couples these cycles in the ocean, but which is often sensitive to acidic conditions. Recent reports indicate a decrease in oceanic nitrification rates under experimentally lowered pH. How composition and abundance of ammonia oxidizing bacteria (AOB) and archaea (AOA) assemblages respond to decreasing oceanic pH, however, is unknown. We sampled microbes from two different acidification experiments and used a combination of qPCR and functional gene microarrays for the ammonia monooxygenase gene (amoA) to assess how acidification alters the structure of ammonia oxidizer assemblages. We show that despite widely different experimental conditions, acidification consistently altered the community composition of AOB by increasing the relative abundance of taxa related to the Nitrosomonas ureae clade. In one experiment this increase was sufficient to cause an increase in the overall abundance of AOB. There were no systematic shifts in the community structure or abundance of AOA in either experiment. These different responses to acidification underscore the important role of microbial community structure in the resiliency of marine ecosystems.

Environmental DNA sequences (fluoresced with Cy3) within 15% of the 70-mer conjugated to a 20-mer oligo (fluoresced with Cy5) complementary to the universal standard will bind to the oligo probes on the array. Signal is the ratio of Cy3 to Cy5.
