Project description:<p>Aquatic insects are well-adapted to freshwater environments, but metabolic mechanisms of such adaptations, particularly to primary environmental factors (e.g., hypoxia, water pressure, dark light and abundant microbes), are poorly known. Most firefly species (Coleoptera: Lampyridae) are terrestrial, but the larvae of a few species are aquatic. We generated 24 global metabolomic profiles of larvae and adults of <em>Aquatica leii</em> (freshwater) and <em>Lychnuris praetexta</em> (terrestrial) to identify freshwater adaptation-related metabolites (AARMs). We identified 110 differentially abundant metabolites (DAMs) in <em>A. leii</em> (adults vs aquatic larvae) and 183 DAMs in <em>L. praetexta</em> (adults vs terrestrial larvae). Furthermore, 100 DAMs specific to aquatic <em>A. leii</em> larvae were screened as AARMs via interspecific comparisons (<em>A. leii</em> vs <em>L. praetexta</em>), which were primarily involved in antioxidant activity, immune response, energy production and metabolism, and chitin biosynthesis. They were assigned to six categories/superclasses (e.g., lipids and lipid-like molecules, organic acids and derivatives, and organoheterocyclic compound). Finally, ten metabolic pathways shared between KEGG terms specific to aquatic fireflies and enriched by AARMs were screened as aquatic adaptation-related pathways (AARPs). These AARPs were primarily involved in energy metabolism, xenobiotic biodegradation, protection of oxidative/immune damage, oxidative stress response and sense function (e.g., glycine, serine and threonine metabolism, drug metabolism-cytochrome P450 and taste transduction), and certain aspects of morphology (e.g., steroid hormone biosynthesis). These results provide evidence suggesting that abundance changes in metabolomes contribute to freshwater adaptation of fireflies. The metabolites identified here may be vital targets for future work to determine the mechanism of freshwater adaptation in insects.</p>

Project description:Abrupt environment changes can elicit an array of genetic effects. However, many of these effects can be overlooked by functional genomic studies conducted in static laboratory conditions. We studied the transcriptomic responses of Caenorhabditis elegans under single generation exposures to drastically different culturing conditions. In our experimental scheme, P0 worms were maintained on terrestrial environments (agar plates), F1 in aquatic cultures, and F2 back to terrestrial environments. The laboratory N2 strain and the wild isolate AB1 strain were utilized to examine how the genotype contributes to the transcriptome dynamics. Significant variations were found in the gene expressions between the “domesticated” laboratory strain and the wild isolate in the different environments. The results showed that 20% - 27% of the transcriptional responses to the environment changes were transmitted to the subsequent generation. In aquatic conditions, the domesticated strain showed differential gene expression particularly for the genes functioning in the reproductive system and the cuticle development. In accordance with the transcriptomic responses, phenotypic abnormalities were detected in the germline and cuticle of the domesticated strain. Further studies showed that distinct groups of genes are exclusively expressed under specific environmental conditions, and many of these genes previously lacked supporting biochemical evidence.

Project description:Analysis of microbial gene expression in response to physical and chemical gradients forming in the Columbia River, estuary, plume and coastal ocean was done in the context of the environmental data base. Gene expression was analyzed for 2,234 individual genes that were selected from fully sequenced genomes of 246 prokaryotic species (bacteria and archaea) as related to the nitrogen metabolism and carbon fixation. Seasonal molecular portraits of differential gene expression in prokaryotic communities during river-to-ocean transition were created using freshwater baseline samples (268, 270, 347, 002, 006, 207, 212). Total RNA was isolated from 64 filtered environmental water samples collected in the Columbia River coastal margin during 4 research cruises (14 from August, 2007; 17 from November, 2007; 18 from April, 2008; and 16 from June, 2008), and analyzed using microarray hybridization with the CombiMatrix 4X2K format. Microarray targets were prepared by reverse transcription of total RNA into fluorescently labeled cDNA. All samples were hybridized in duplicate, except samples 212 and 310 (hybridized in triplicate) and samples 336, 339, 50, 152, 157, and 199 (hybridized once). Sample location codes: number shows distance from the coast in km; CR, Columbia River transect in the plume and coastal ocean; NH, Newport Hydroline transect in the coastal ocean at Newport, Oregon; AST and HAM, Columbia River estuary locations near Astoria (river mile 7-9) and Hammond (river mile 5), respectively; TID, Columbia River estuary locations in the tidal basin (river mile 22-23); BA, river location at Beaver Army Dock (river mile 53) near Quincy, Oregon; UP, river location at mile 74.

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.

Project description:Light is a source of energy and an environmental cue that is available in excess in most surface environments. In prokaryotic systems, conversion of light to energy by photoautotrophs and photoheterotrophs is well understood, but the conversion of light to information and the cellular response to that information has been characterized in only a few species. Our goal was to explore the response of freshwater Actinobacteria, which are ubiquitous in illuminated aquatic environments, to light. We found that Actinobacteria without functional photosystems grow faster in the light, likely because sugar transport and metabolism are upregulated in the light, while protein synthesis is upregulated in the dark. Based on the action spectrum of the growth effect, and comparisons of the genomes of three Actinobacteria with this growth rate phenotype, we propose that the photosensor in these strains is a putative CryB-type cryptochrome. The ability to sense light and upregulate carbohydrate transport during the day could allow these cells to coordinate their time of maximum organic carbon uptake with the time of maximum organic carbon release by primary producers.

Project description:Alkalinity stress is considered to be one of the major stressors for fish in saline-alkali water. Thus, it is of great significance from both aquaculture and physiological viewpoint to understand the molecular genetic response of aquatic organisms to alkalinity stress. The objective of this study is to determine genome-wide gene expression profiles to better understand the physiology response of medaka (Oryzias latipes) to high carbonate alkalinity stress. In lab-based cultures, adult fish were exposed to freshwater and high carbonate alkalinity water .We designed a microarray containing 26429 oligonucleotides and describe our experimental results for measuring gene expression changes in the gill of carbonate alkalinity stress exposed fish. The fish were exposed to freshwater (FW) and high carbonate alkalinity water (AW) for 96h, each with three replicates.

Project description:Recent body of evidence demonstrates that extracellular vesicles (EVs) represent the first language of cell-cell communication emerged during evolution. In aquatic environments, transferring signals between cells by EVs offer protection against degradation, allowing delivering of chemical information in high local concentrations to the target cells. The packaging of multiple signals, including those of hydrophobic nature, ensures target cells to receive the same EV-conveyed messages, and the coordination of a variety of physiological processes across cells of a single organisms, or at the population level, i.e. mediating the population´s response to changing environmental conditions. Here, we purified EVs from the medium of the freshwater invertebrate Hydra vulgaris, and the molecular profiling by proteomic and transcriptomic analyses revealed multiple markers of the exosome EV subtype. Moreover, positive and negative regulators of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway, the major developmental pathway acting in body axial patterning, were identified. Functional analysis on amputated polyps revealed EV ability to interfere with both head and foot regeneration, suggesting an active role in setting up tissue gradients and oro-aboral polarity through delivery of short and long-distance signals. Our results open the path to unravel EV biogenesis and function in all cnidarian species, tracing back the origin of the cell-cell, cross-species or cross-kingdom communication in aquatic ecosystems
