Project description:Functional redundancy in bacterial communities is expected to allow microbial assemblages to survive perturbation by allowing continuity in function despite compositional changes in communities. Recent evidence suggests, however, that microbial communities change both composition and function as a result of disturbance. We present evidence for a third response: resistance. We examined microbial community response to perturbation caused by nutrient enrichment in salt marsh sediments using deep pyrosequencing of 16S rRNA and functional gene microarrays targeting the nirS gene. Composition of the microbial community, as demonstrated by both genes, was unaffected by significant variations in external nutrient supply, despite demonstrable and diverse nutrient–induced changes in many aspects of marsh ecology. The lack of response to external forcing demonstrates a remarkable uncoupling between microbial composition and ecosystem-level biogeochemical processes and suggests that sediment microbial communities are able to resist some forms of perturbation.

Project description:Diazotrophs provide the main source of reactive nitrogen to the ocean, sustaining primary productivity and CO2 uptake. Climate change is raising temperatures, decreasing pH and reducing nutrient availability. How microbes respond to these changes is largely unexplained. Similarly, the role of DOM in the growth and survival of certain diazotrophic organisms is poorly understood. Moreover, growing evidence indicates some diazotrophs are capable of utilizing distinct DOM compounds via osmotrophy providing them with additional metabolic plasticity and ecological advantages compared to other non-diazotrophic microbes. We aimed to understand how osmotrophy could modify carbon uptake and alleviate energy stress in diazotrophs under ongoing climate change perturbations. We hypothesized that Crocosphaera preferentially uses DOM when labile as a carbon source in present pH conditions, as compared to future more acidic scenarios with higher access to inorganic carbon. Alternatively, the lower pH may cause Crocosphaera to be energy limited when trying to maintain intracellular homeostasis which would favour DOM uptake as an extra source of energy.

Project description:Metagenomic approaches have revealed unprecedented genetic diversity within microbial communities across vast expanses of the world’s oceans. Linking this genetic diversity with key metabolic and cellular activities of microbial assemblages is a fundamental challenge. Here we report on a collaborative effort to design MicroTOOLs (Microbiological Targets for Ocean Observing Laboratories), a high-density oligonucleotide microarray that targets functional genes of diverse taxa in pelagic and coastal marine microbial communities. MicroTOOLs integrates nucleotide sequence information from disparate data types: genomes, PCR-amplicons, metagenomes, and metatranscriptomes. It targets 19 400 unique sequences over 145 different genes that are relevant to stress responses and microbial metabolism across the three domains of life and viruses. MicroTOOLs was used in a proof-of-concept experiment that compared the functional responses of microbial communities following Fe and P enrichments of surface water samples from the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre. We detected transcription of 68% of the gene targets across major taxonomic groups, and the pattern of transcription indicated relief from Fe limitation and transition to N limitation in some taxa. Prochlorococcus (eHLI), Synechococcus (sub-cluster 5.3) and Alphaproteobacteria SAR11 clade (HIMB59) showed the strongest responses to the Fe enrichment. In addition, members of uncharacterized lineages also responded. The MicroTOOLs microarray provides a robust tool for comprehensive characterization of major functional groups of microbes in the open ocean, and the design can be easily amended for specific environments and research questions.

Project description:Diel cycle is of enormous biological importance in that it imposes temporal structure on ecosystem productivity. In the world oceans, microorganisms form complex communities that carry out about half of photosynthesis and the bulk of life-sustaining nutrient cycling. Within these natural microbial assemblages, photoautotrophs, such as Cyanobacteria, display diel rhythmicity in gene expression. To what extent autotrophs and heterotrophs are impacted by light and dark oscillations and how this collectively influences community structure and functionality remains poorly documented. In this study, we compared eight day/night metaproteome profiles of Cyanobacteria and both free-living and attached bacterial fractions from picoplanktonic communities sampled over two consecutive days from the surface north-west Mediterranean Sea. Our results showed similar taxonomic structure in both free-living and particle-attached bacteria, dominated by Alphaproteobacteria and Gammaproteobacteria. Temporal rhythmicity in protein expression was observed in both Synechococcales and Rhodobacterales in light-dependent processes such as photosynthesis or UV-stress response. Other biological processes, such as phosphorus or amino acid metabolisms, were also found to cycle in phototrophs. In contrast, proteins from the ubiquitous Pelagibacterales remained stable independently of the day/night oscillations. This work integrated for the first time diel comparative metaproteomics on both free-living and particle attached bacterial fractions in coastal oligotrophic environment. Our findings demonstrated a taxa-specific response to diel cycle with a more controlled protein regulation for phototrophs. This study provided additional evidences that timekeeping mechanisms might be widespread among Bacteria, broadening our knowledge on diel microbial assemblage dynamics.

Project description:Development of cereal crops with high nitrogen-use efficiency (NUE) is a priority for worldwide agriculture. In addition to conventional plant breeding and genetic engineering, the use of the plant microbiome offers another approach to improve crop NUE. To gain insight into the bacterial communities associated with sorghum lines that differ in NUE, a field experiment was designed comparing 24 diverse sorghum lines under sufficient and deficient nitrogen (N). Amplicon sequencing and untargeted gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) were used to characterize the bacterial communities and the root metabolome associated with sorghum genotypes varying in sensitivity to low N. We demonstrated that N stress and sorghum type (energy, sweet, and grain sorghum) significantly impacted the root-associated bacterial communities and root metabolite composition of sorghum. We found a positive correlation between sorghum NUE and bacterial richness and diversity in the rhizosphere. The greater alpha diversity in high NUE lines was associated with the decreased abundance of a dominant bacterial taxa, Pseudomonas. Multiple strong correlations were detected between root metabolites and rhizosphere bacterial communities in response to low-N stress. This indicates that the shift in the sorghum microbiome due to low-N is associated with the root metabolites of the host plant. Taken together, our findings suggest that host genetic regulation of root metabolites plays a role in defining the root-associated microbiome of sorghum genotypes differing in NUE and tolerance to low-N stress.

Project description:Marine snow plays a central role in carbon cycling. It consists of organic particles and particle-associated (PA) microbMarine snow plays a central role in carbon cycling. It consists of organic particles and particle-associated (PA) microbial communities that are embedded in a sugary matrix. Metaproteomic analysis offers the unique opportunity to gain unprecedented insight into the microbial community composition and biomolecular activity of environmental samples. In order to realize this potential for marine PA microbial communities, new methods of protein extraction must be developed. In this study, we used 1D-SDS-PAGEs and LC-MS/MS to compare the efficiency of six established protein extraction protocols for their applicability of metaproteomic analyses of the PA microbial community in the North Sea. A combination of SDS-buffer extraction and bead beating resulted in the greatest number of identified protein groups. As expected, a metagenomic database of the same environmental sample increased the number of protein identification by approximately 50%. To demonstrate the application of our established protocol, particulate bacterioplankton samples collected during spring phytoplankton bloom in 2009 near the island Helgoland, were analysed by a GeLC-MS/MS-based metaproteomic approach. Our results indicated that there are only slight differences in the taxonomical distribution between free-living (FL) and PA bacteria but that the abundance of protein groups involved in polysaccharide degradation, motility and particle specific stress (oxygen limitation, nutrient limitation, heavy metal stress) is higher in the PA fractions. ial communities that are embedded in a sugary matrix.
