Climate sensitivity of Equatorial Pacific nutrient limitation

ABSTRACT: Projected responses of ocean net primary productivity (NPP) to climate change are highly uncertain. The climate sensitivity of phytoplankton nutrient limitation in the low-latitude Pacific plays a crucial role, but field measurements are insufficient to provide suitable constraints. Here we quantify two decades of nutrient limitation in the Equatorial Pacific with satellite observations. Using field nutrient addition experiments, proteomics, and above-water hyperspectral radiometry, we demonstrate that physiological responses of phytoplankton to iron limitation led to ~3-fold increases in chlorophyll-normalized phytoplankton fluorescence. Extension to the >18-year satellite fluorescence record showed that Equatorial Pacific iron limitation was robust to changes in physical forcing through multiple El Niño–Southern Oscillation cycles, despite coherent fluctuations in limitation strength. In contrast, these iron limitation changes were overestimated 2-fold by a state-of-the-art climate model. Such synoptic constraints provide a powerful new approach for benchmarking the realism of model NPP projections to climate changes.

Two novel zinc and cobalt-responsive proteins in marine eukaryotic phytoplankton and implications for Zn scarcity in the surface oceans

Project description:Observations of scarce surface ocean concentrations of dissolved zinc (Zn) have raised the possibility that Zn may co-limit the growth of oceanic phytoplankton, yet testing this hypothesis has been difficult because Zn is highly prone to contamination. Biomarkers of micro-nutrient stress can serve as an alternate means to assay, though biomarker proteins for Zn stress in marine algae are currently uncharacterized. In this study we identified two Zn-responsive proteins in four marine diatom species that became abundant under Zn and Co limitation, but were scarce or undetectable in replete conditions. We refer to these proteins as ZCRP-A and ZCRP-B (Zn/Co Responsive Protein A and B). Sequence similarity of ZCRP-A to the Escherichia coli model COG0523 protein YjiA suggests a Zn2+ binding capability using conserved metal binding sites. Cellular localization by fluorescent tagging and overexpression of these proteins showed that ZCRP-B is part of a membrane-bound transport complex and that ZCRP-A serves as a Zn/Co chaperone with a chloroplastic target. These results imply that ZCRP-A and ZCRP-B are important in intracellular Zn trafficking and high-affinity transport, respectively. Metaproteomic detection of ZCRP-A and ZCRP-B homologs in a variety of eukaryotic protists along a South Pacific Ocean transect demonstrated that both proteins were more abundant in the euphotic zone (0-200m) where dZn and dCo were scarce. These findings describe widely distributed marine algal proteins linked to Zn and Co metabolism that together contribute to our understanding of Zn homeostasis in important marine phytoplankton.

Chromatin immunopreciptiation of mouse hepatocytes to validate deep-sequencing libraries

Project description:Chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by ultra-high throughput (UHTP) sequencing (ChIP-seq) is a powerful tool to establish protein-DNA interactions genome-wide, and the primary limitation of its broad application at present is the often-limited access to sequencers. Here, we report a protocol, Mab-Seq, to generate preliminary quality evaluations and single-chromosome data for deep-sequencing libraries. We show that commercially available genomic microarrays can be used to maximize the efficiency of library creation, quickly generate preliminary data on a chromosomal scale, and help establish the depth to which novel libraries will require deep sequencing.

Phytoplankton transcriptomic and physiological responses to fixed nitrogen in the California Current System

Project description:In summer 2014, we conducted experiments to determine the effects of different N substrates on phytoplankton communities in the North Pacific Ocean and in the transition zone of the California Current and gyre (Shilova, Mills et al., 2017). Samples were incubated with nitrate, ammonium, urea, and filtered deep water (FDW) for 48 hours (T48). Two treatments added iron, alone (Fe) or with a mix of N substrates (N+Fe), to determine the effects of Fe on the utilization of N substrates. All treatments resulted in changes in phytoplankton cell abundances and photosynthetic activity at both locations, with differences between phytoplankton groups. Prochlorococcus had large increases in biomass in response to ammonium and urea, while both eukaryotic phytoplankton and Synechococcus had only modest biomass increases in response to N+Fe and FDW. Moreover, distinct physiological responses were observed within sub-populations of Prochlorococcus and Synechococcus. In order to understand the variable responses to N substrates among phytoplankton groups and sub-populations in the California Current transition zone, the present work examines transcriptional changes that occurred 24 h after the substrates were added. Specifically, we hypothesize that transcription changes at 24 h indicate which phytoplankton taxa are N-limited, and thus help explain changes in cell abundances and photosynthetic activity by individual phytoplankton groups observed at 48 h. Furthermore, we hypothesize that the diversity in physiological responses within Prochlorococcus and Synechococcus are evident in the transcriptional responses measured at sub-population resolution.

Transcriptomic profiling of an oceanic diatom adapted to Cu deficiency

Project description:Enhanced vertical stratification brought about by warming of the ocean surface is expected to reduce vertical circulation and nutrient input with knock-on effects for phytoplankton. Increased nutrient limitation is one predicted outcome, but the response of phytoplankton is uncertain because long-term adaptation to nutrient limitation has not been studied. We used Cu as a model catalytic nutrient to explore the adaptive response of an oceanic diatom to continuous nutrient deprivation. Thalassiosira oceanica was maintained under Cu-limiting and sufficient conditions for more than 2000 generations and the evolved populations evaluated for physiological traits in a reciprocal transplant experiment. Adaptation to low Cu concentration increased Cu use efficiency, so that under Cu-limiting conditions T. oceanica maintained significantly faster rates of net C assimilation and growth than the control and ancestral populations.

Chronic iron limitation induces resistance to ROS

Project description:Diatoms are single celled photosynthetic bloom-forming algae that are responsible for at least 20% of global primary production. Nevertheless, more than 30% of the oceans are considered “ocean deserts” due to iron limitation. We used the diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum as a model system to explore diatom’s response to iron limitation and its interplay with susceptibility to oxidative stress. By analyzing physiological parameters and proteome profiling, we defined two distinct phases: short-term (< 3 days, phase I) and chronic (> 5 days, phase II) iron limitation. While at phase I no changes in physiological parameters were observed, molecular markers for iron starvation, such as ISIP and flavodoxin, were highly upregulated. At phase II, down regulation of numerous iron-containing proteins was detected in parallel to reduction in growth rate, chlorophyll content, photosynthetic activity, respiration rate and antioxidant capacity. Intriguingly, while application of oxidative stress to phase I and II iron limited cells similarly oxidized the GSH pool, phase II iron limitation exhibited transient resistance to oxidative stress, despite the down regulation of many antioxidant proteins. By comparing proteomic profiles of P. tricornutum under iron limitation and metatranscriptomic data of an iron enrichment experiment conducted in the Pacific Ocean, we propose that iron limited cells in the natural environment resemble the phase II metabolic state. These results provide insights into the trade-off between maximal growth rate and susceptibility to oxidative stress as a possible key determinant in the response of diatoms to iron quota in the marine environment.

Short-term acidification promotes diverse iron acquisition and conservation mechanisms in upwelling-associated phytoplankton

Project description:Coastal upwelling regions are among the most productive marine ecosystems but may be threatened by amplified ocean acidification. Increased acidification is hypothesized to reduce iron bioavailability for phytoplankton thereby expanding iron limitation and impacting primary production. Here we show from community to molecular levels that phytoplankton in an upwelling region respond to short-term acidification exposure with iron uptake pathways and strategies that reduce cellular iron demand. A combined physiological and multi-omics approach was applied to trace metal clean incubations that introduced 1200 ppm CO2 for up to four days. Although variable, molecular-level responses indicate a prioritization of iron uptake pathways that are less hindered by acidification and reductions in iron utilization. Growth, nutrient uptake, and community compositions remained largely unaffected suggesting that these mechanisms may confer short-term resistance to acidification; however, we speculate that cellular iron demand is only temporarily satisfied, and longer-term acidification exposure without increased iron inputs may result in increased iron stress.

Response of Prochlorococcus to varying CO2:O2 ratios

Project description:Carbon fixation plays a central role in determining cellular redox poise, increasingly understood to be a key parameter in cyanobacterial physiology. In the cyanobacterium Prochlorococcus--—the most abundant phototroph in the oligotrophic oceans--—the carbon-concentrating mechanism (CCM) is reduced to the bare essentials. Given the ability of Prochlorococcus populations to grow under a wide range of oxygen concentrations in the ocean, we wondered how carbon and oxygen physiology intersect in this minimal phototroph. We monitored genome-wide transcription in cells shocked with acute limitation of CO2, O2, or both. O2 limitation produced much smaller transcriptional changes than the broad suppression seen under CO2 limitation and CO2/O2 co-limitation. Strikingly, the transcriptional responses evoked by both CO2 limitation conditions were initially similar to that previously seen in high light stress, but at later timepoints we observed O2-dependent recovery of photosynthesis-related transcripts. These results suggest that oxygen plays a protective role in Prochlorococcus when carbon fixation is not a sufficient sink for light energy. Two biological replicates of timecourses under four conditions: medium bubbled with air (control) or three experimental gases (low CO2; low O2; or low CO2 and low O2)
