Project description:White sea picoplankton Metagenome

Project description:Coral reef sponges efficiently take up particulate and dissolved organic matter (DOM) from the water column and release compounds such as nucleosides, amino acids, and other dissolved metabolites to the surrounding reef via their exhalent seawater, but the influence of this process on reef picoplankton and nutrient processing is relatively unexplored. Here we examined the impact of sponge exhalent on the reef picoplankon community and subsequent alterations to the reef dissolved metabolite pool. We exposed reef picoplankton communities to a sponge exhalent water mixture (Niphates digitalis and Xestospongia muta) or filtered reef seawater (control) in closed, container-based dark incubations. We used 16S rRNA gene sequencing and flow cytometry-based cell counts to examine the picoplankton community and metabolomics and other analyses to examine the dissolved metabolite pool. The initial sponge exhalent was enriched in adenosine, inosine, chorismate, humic-like and amino acid-like components, and ammonium. Following 48 h of exposure to sponge exhalent, the picoplankton differed in composition, were reduced in diversity, showed doubled (or higher) growth efficiencies, and harbored increased copiotrophic and denitrifying taxa (Marinomonas, Pontibacterium, Aliiroseovarius) compared to control, reef-water based incubations. Alongside these picoplankton alterations, the sponge treatments, relative to seawater controls, had decreased adenosine, inosine, tryptophan, and ammonium, metabolites that may support the observed higher picoplankton growth efficiencies. Sponge treatments also had a net increase in several monosaccharides and other metabolites including anthranilate, riboflavin, nitrite, and nitrate. Our work demonstrates a link between sponge exhalent-associated metabolites and the picoplankton community, with exhalent water supporting an increased abundance of efficient, copiotrophic taxa that catabolize complex nutrients. The copiotrophic taxa were often different from those observed in previous algae and coral studies. These results have implications for better understanding the multifaceted role of sponges on picoplankton biomass with subsequent potential impacts to coral and other planktonic feeders in oligotrophic reef environments.

Project description:The progress of next-generation sequencing has lead to the availability of massive data sets used by a wide range of applications in biology and medicine. This has sparked significant interest in using modern Big Data technologies to process this large amount of information in distributed memory clusters of commodity hardware. Several approaches based on solutions such as Apache Hadoop or Apache Spark, have been proposed. These solutions allow developers to focus on the problem while the need to deal with low level details, such as data distribution schemes or communication patterns among processing nodes, can be ignored. However, performance and scalability are also of high importance when dealing with increasing problems sizes, making in this way the usage of High Performance Computing (HPC) technologies such as the message passing interface (MPI) a promising alternative. Recently, MetaCacheSpark, an Apache Spark based software for detection and quantification of species composition in food samples has been proposed. This tool can be used to analyze high throughput sequencing data sets of metagenomic DNA and allows for dealing with large-scale collections of complex eukaryotic and bacterial reference genome. In this work, we propose MetaCache-MPI, a fast and memory efficient solution for computing clusters which is based on MPI instead of Apache Spark. In order to evaluate its performance a comparison is performed between the original single CPU version of MetaCache, the Spark version and the MPI version we are introducing. Results show that for 32 processes, MetaCache-MPI is 1.65× faster while consuming 48.12% of the RAM memory used by Spark for building a metagenomics database. For querying this database, also with 32 processes, the MPI version is 3.11× faster, while using 55.56% of the memory used by Spark. We conclude that the new MetaCache-MPI version is faster in both building and querying the database and uses less RAM memory, when compared with MetaCacheSpark, while keeping the accuracy of the original implementation.

Project description:Surface waters of the vast subtropical ocean gyres are poor in nutrients such as nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), iron (Fe) and zinc (Zn). Ocean warming is predicted to intensify and expand these low nutrient gyres, but we have limited knowledge on how natural assemblages of marine microbes acquire nutrients. While detecting regions where the lack of N and/or Fe limits biological activity appears straightforward, it is problematic for P due to divergent results from different approaches used. Using natural zonal gradients in nutrient resources and biological activity, we investigated the nutrient acquisition strategies of Prochlorococcus and Synechococcus, with a specific focus on phosphorus since Fe and Zn may constrain the activity of the metalloenzyme, alkaline phosphatase, used by microbes to access dissolved organic phosphorus (DOP) when phosphate is scarce. Analyses of proteins indicative of nutrient acquisition and stress, termed ‘biomarkers’ alongside high-resolution biogeochemical measurements and nutrient bioassays concur on more intense phosphorus limitation in the western compared to the eastern subtropical Atlantic. However, we found sparse evidence of trace metal control of alkaline phosphatase by Fe or Zn or cobalt. Instead, zonal gradients as well as the bioassays involving the addition of Fe, Zn and DOP stimulated different responses in protein production in Prochlorococcus and Synechococcus, implying these picocyanobacteria may have different biomarkers indicative of nutrient stress, which has implications for the interpretation of trends in protein, as well as different strategies to acquire essential nutrients. The divergence in acquisition strategies alongside the asynchronous zonal gradients in Prochlorococcus and Synechococcus in the subtropical North Atlantic are likely driven by other processes such as nitrogen fixation, atmospheric and upwelled delivery of nutrients and competition for resources.

Project description:BACKGROUND:All-Food-Sequencing (AFS) is an untargeted metagenomic sequencing method that allows for the detection and quantification of food ingredients including animals, plants, and microbiota. While this approach avoids some of the shortcomings of targeted PCR-based methods, it requires the comparison of sequence reads to large collections of reference genomes. The steadily increasing amount of available reference genomes establishes the need for efficient big data approaches. RESULTS:We introduce an alignment-free k-mer based method for detection and quantification of species composition in food and other complex biological matters. It is orders-of-magnitude faster than our previous alignment-based AFS pipeline. In comparison to the established tools CLARK, Kraken2, and Kraken2+Bracken it is superior in terms of false-positive rate and quantification accuracy. Furthermore, the usage of an efficient database partitioning scheme allows for the processing of massive collections of reference genomes with reduced memory requirements on a workstation (AFS-MetaCache) or on a Spark-based compute cluster (MetaCacheSpark). CONCLUSIONS:We present a fast yet accurate screening method for whole genome shotgun sequencing-based biosurveillance applications such as food testing. By relying on a big data approach it can scale efficiently towards large-scale collections of complex eukaryotic and bacterial reference genomes. AFS-MetaCache and MetaCacheSpark are suitable tools for broad-scale metagenomic screening applications. They are available at https://muellan.github.io/metacache/afs.html (C++ version for a workstation) and https://github.com/jmabuin/MetaCacheSpark (Spark version for big data clusters).
