Groundwater metabolome responds to recharge in fractured sedimentary strata

ABSTRACT:

Understanding biogeochemical conversions of dissolved organic matter (DOM) in aquifers is paramount for the effective management of groundwater supplies. On its passage through the critical zone, DOM is subject to biogeochemical conversions and therefore carries cross-habitat information useful for monitoring and predicting the stability of groundwater ecosystem services. Groundwater metabolomics assesses this information. However, challenges arise from insufficient knowledge on groundwater metabolite composition and dynamics, and the necessity to maintain analytical conditions for long-term monitoring. We explored fractured sedimentary bedrock by 5-year untargeted metabolomics monitoring for oxic perched and anoxic phreatic sites along a hillslope recharge area, to evaluate DOM as groundwater tracer. Dimension reduction by principal component analysis revealed that metabolome dissimilarities between distant wells coincide with transient cross-stratal flow indicated by groundwater levels and environmental tracers. The metabolome was highly variable lacking seasonal patterns, and did not segregate by geographic location of sampling wells thus ruling out surface vegetation or (agricultura) land use as driving factor. The metabolome time series provide detailed insights into subsurface responses to recharge dynamics. Metabolomics monitoring provides information on groundwater flows, and allows concluding about below ground ecology and water quality evolution, required to understand the impact of interannual wet-dry cycles.

Metaprotemic analysis of groundwaters from a coal tar-contaminated aquifer in South Glens Falls, NY: MW37, Shotgun 2

Project description:Deciphering the in situ activities of microorganisms is essential for understanding the biogeochemical processes occurring in complex environments. Here we used environmental metaproteomics to obtain information about the identity and activity of subsurface microbial populations in coal-tar-contaminated groundwater. The present study reports metaproteomic data showing high representation of Candidatus Methylomirabilis oxyfera in our study site’s subsurface microbial community. In addition, eight of the nine proteins of the n-damo pathway were identified—indicating that n-damo is an active process occurring in situ in this habitat.

Dissolved organic matter produced by Thalassiosira pseudonana

Project description:Phytoplankton are significant producers of dissolved organic matter (DOM) in marine ecosystems but the identity and dynamics of this DOM remain poorly constrained. Knowledge on the identity and dynamics of DOM are crucial for understanding the molecular-level reactions at the base of the global carbon cycle. Here we apply emerging analytical and computational tools from metabolomics to investigate the composition of DOM produced by the centric diatom Thalassiosira pseudonana. We assessed both intracellular metabolites within T. pseudonana (the endo-metabolome) and extracellular metabolites released by T. pseudonana (the exo-metabolome). The intracellular metabolites had a more variable composition than the extracellular metabolites. We putatively identified novel compounds not previously associated with T. pseudonana as well as compounds that have previously been identified within T. pseudonana’s metabolic capacity (e.g. dimethylsulfoniopropionate and degradation products of chitin). The resulting information will provide the basis for future experiments to assess the impact of T. pseudonana on the composition of dissolved organic matter in marine environments.

Seasonal variation of primary metabolism in the cambial zone of Eucalyptus grandis

Project description:Wood is formed by the differentiation of cells from the vascular cambium and it is an important source for pulp, paper and bioenergy production. However there is little information about the vascular cambium at the molecular level, particularly in response to seasonality in tropical regions. We used three different molecular approaches: transcripts, proteome and metabolome to characterize the seasonal alterations in the primary metabolism of the eucalyptus cambial zone. Based on 2-DE analysis, 71 proteins were differentially expressed.

Open ocean and coastal strains of the N2-fixing cyanobacterium UCYN-A have distinct transcriptomes

Project description:Although N2 fixation can occur in free-living cyanobacteria, the unicellular endosymbiotic cyanobacterium Candidatus Atelocyanobacterium thalassa (UCYN-A) is considered to be a dominant N2-fixing species in marine ecosystems. Four UCYN-A sublineages are known from partial nitrogenase (nifH) gene sequences. However, few studies have investigated their habitat preferences and regulation by their respective hosts in open-ocean versus coastal environments. Here, we compared UCYN-A transcriptomes from oligotrophic open-ocean versus nutrient-rich coastal waters. UCYN-A1 metabolism was more impacted by habitat changes than UCYN-A2. However, across habitats and sublineages genes for nitrogen fixation and energy production were highly transcribed. Curiously these genes, critical to the symbiosis for the exchange of fixed nitrogen for fixed carbon, maintained the same schedule of diel expression across habitats and UCYN-A sublineages, including UCYN-A3 in the open-ocean transcriptomes. Our results undersore the importance of nitrogen fixation in UCYN-A symbioses across habitats, with consequences for community interaction and global biogeochemical cycles.

Chromatin topology and the timing of enhancer function at the HoxD locus [4C-seq]

Project description:In tetrapods, the HoxD gene cluster is critical for proper limb formation. In the emerging limb buds, different sub-groups of Hoxd genes respond first to a proximal regulatory signal, then to a distal signal that organizes digits. These two regulations emanate from the two TADs flanking HoxD, both containing a range of appropriate enhancer sequences. The telomeric TAD (T-DOM) contains several regulatory elements controlling Hoxd genes, initially in a temporal manner and then in the proximal presumptive forearm. T-DOM is divided into two sub-TADs separated by a CTCF-rich boundary defining two regulatory modules with most limb enhancers concentrated in the more distant module. In order to understand the importance of this regulatory topology to elicit a precise Hoxd gene transcription in time and space, we both deleted or inverted this sub-TAD boundary and eliminated the CTCF binding sites. These perturbations caused a time delay in gene activation, which was subsequently resumed. We then inverted the entire T-DOM to change the respective position of the two sub-TADs, which concomitantly introduced a TAD boundary between HoxD and the inverted T-DOM. This re-arrangement had a stronger impact on the early expression and flattened the Hoxd mRNAs levels. The latter effect was rescued by re-granting access to the enhancers upon deletion of the ectopic boundary. These results highlight the importance of regulatory topologies in the temporal control of gene expression. We also show that, along with time, the affinity of enhancers to find their natural target genes can overcome the presence of both a strong TAD border, and an unfavourable orientation of CTCF sites.

Defense mechanisms against herbivory: expression regulation of spruce gene family members representative of the phenylpropanoid pathway

Project description:A 21.8k spruce EST-spotted microarray was utilized to examine the genetic basis of constitutive defenses against herbivory. From twelve-year-old trees originating from partial diallel pedigree that segregates for resistance against Pissodes strobi, bark tissue of apical leaders was harvested at the onset of seasonal growth and natural weevil activity in the field. Our experimental design is based on a priori known genotype. We identified cross 26 from ♀PG87*♂PG165, cross 27 from ♀PG87*♂PG117, cross 29 from ♀PG21*♂PG165 and cross 32 from ♀PG21*♂PG117, respectively, forming a factorial diallel which showed widest segregation, based on a higher number of segregating SNP loci with genotypes significantly different between the most extreme resistance categories. The distant pair design introduced by ({Fu, 2006}) was modified for outbreds and maximized direct comparisons between different alleles at each locus. Our design resulted in 94 hybridisations profiling 48 individuals in cross 26, 36 in cross 27, and 50 in cross 29 as well as 54 individuals in cross 32. One criterion for identifying positional candidate genes involved that any association between trait variation and genotype variation had to be detected within 10 cM map distances; positional candidate genes for the studied phenotypic trait were then identified by strong collocations of transcript abundance variation and overlap of at least 40% of their expression quantitative trait loci (eQTLs) with phenotypic trait QTLs. 10,000 randomizations were run (p < 0.05).
