Project description:Three-day metatranscriptome of surface gravel plain soils from the Central Namib Desert. Samples were collected at four times (6:00, 12:00, 18:00 and 24:00h) on each day (n=12). rRNA-depleted RNA was used to construct stranded libraries with the ScriptSeq v2 complete kit (Epicentre) adding unique barcodes in TruSeq adapters (ScriptSeq Index PCR primers, set 1, Epicentre). Libraries were single-end sequenced in a NextSeq 500 v2 sequencer, with read length of 75bp.

Project description:Desert microbial communities live in a pulsed ecosystem shaped by isolated and rare precipitation events. The Namib desert is one of the oldest continuously hyperarid ecosystems on Earth. In this study, surface microbial communities of open soils (without sheltering features like rocks, vegetation or biological soil crusts) are analysed. We designed an artificial rainfall experiment where a 7x7 (3.5 x 3.5 m) plot remained dry while an adjacent one received a 30 mm simulated rain. Samples were taken randomly in parallel from both plots at 10 min, 1 h, 3 h, 7 h, 24 h and 7 days after the watering moment. Duplicate libraries were generated from total (rRNA depleted) RNA and sequenced 2x150 bp in an Illumina Hiseq 4000 instrument.

Project description:This study began with 72 male 4-week-old BALB/c mice. The mice were split evenly into one of four cohorts: Control, River, Pine, and Road. The control mice were raised with standard corn cob bedding whereas the remaining mice were raised with clean bedding amended with 300 mL of one of three different types of soil. The soil exposure continued throughout the experiment, with 300 mL of new soil added with bi-weekly cage changes. The soils used to amend the cage bedding were previously characterized as having high (Pine), medium (River), and low (Road) diversity. The River and Pine soil were collected from Duke Forest and the Road soil was collected adjacent to Highway 15-501 in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. All mice were given a standard diet and the cages were distributed reverse osmosis treated water through a centralized Lixit® system that was fed to each cage in parallel. After 32 days of standard rearing with amended soils, the mice were exposed via oropharyngeal aspiration to either live influenza A (PR8) virus or heat inactivated (HI) virus.

Project description:Because of severe abiotic limitations, Antarctic soils represent simplified ecosystems, where microorganisms are the principle drivers of nutrient cycling. This relative simplicity makes these ecosystems particularly vulnerable to perturbations, like global warming, and the Antarctic Peninsula is among the most rapidly warming regions on the planet. However, the consequences of the ongoing warming of Antarctica on microorganisms and the processes they mediate are unknown. Here, using 16S rRNA gene pyrosequencing and qPCR, we report a number of highly consistent changes in microbial community structure and abundance across very disparate sub-Antarctic and Antarctic environments following three years of experimental field warming (+ 0.5-2°C). Specifically, we found significant increases in the abundance of fungi and bacteria and in the Alphaproteobacteria-to-Acidobacteria ratio. These alterations were linked to a significant increase in soil respiration. Furthermore, the shifts toward generalist or opportunistic bacterial communities following warming weakened the linkage between bacterial diversity and functional diversity. Warming also increased the abundance of some organisms related to the N-cycle, detected as an increase in the relative abundance of nitrogenase genes via GeoChip microarray analyses. Our results demonstrate that soil microorganisms across a range of sub-Antarctic and Antarctic environments can respond consistently and rapidly to increasing temperatures, thereby potentially disrupting soil functioning. We conducted in situ warming experiments for three years using open-top chambers (OTCs) at one sub-Antarctic (Falkland Islands, 52ºS) and two Antarctic locations (Signy and Anchorage Islands, 60ºS and 67ºS respectively) (see Supplementary Fig. 1 for a map). OTCs increased annual soil temperature by an average of 0.8°C (at a depth of 5 cm), resulting in 8-43% increase in positive-degree days annually and a decrease in freeze-thaw cycle frequency by an average of 15 cycles per year (8). At each location, we included densely vegetated and bare fell-field soils in the experimental design for a total of six environments. Densely vegetated and bare environments represent two contrasting environments for Antarctic soil microorganisms, with large differences in terms of C and N inputs to soils. Massively parallel pyrosequencing (Roche 454 GS FLX Titanium) of 16S rRNA gene amplicons was used to follow bacterial diversity and community composition [GenBank Accession Numbers: HM641909-HM744649], and functional gene microarrays (GeoChip 2.0)(11) were used to assess changes in functional gene distribution. Bacterial and fungal communities were also quantified using real-time PCR.
