Project description:This project aims to investigate the metabolic pathways expressed by the active microbial community occurring at the deep continental subsurface. Subsurface chemoLithoautotrophic Microbial Ecosystems (SLiMEs) under oligotrophic conditions are supported by H2; however, the overall ecological trophic structures of these communities are poorly understood. Some deep, fluid-filled fractures in the Witwatersrand Basin, South Africa appear to support inverted trophic pyramids wherein methanogens contributing <5% of the total DNA apparently produce CH4 that supports the rest of the community. Here we show the active metabolic relationships of one such trophic structure by combining metatranscriptomic assemblies, metaproteomic and stable isotopic data, and thermodynamic modeling. Four autotrophic β-proteobacteria genera that are capable of oxidizing sulfur by denitrification dominate. They co-occur with sulfate reducers, anaerobic methane oxidizers and methanogens, which each comprises <5% of the total community. Defining trophic levels of microbial chemolithoautotrophs by the number of transfers from the initial abiotic H2-driven CO2 fixation, we propose a top-down cascade influence of the metabolic consumers that enhances the fitness of the metabolic producers to explain the inverted biomass pyramid of a multitrophic SLiME. Symbiotic partnerships are pivotal in the deep biosphere on and potentially beyond the Earth.

Project description:Regulatory small RNAs (sRNAs) represent a major class of regulatory molecules that play large-scale and essential roles in many cellular processes across all domains of life. Microbial sRNAs have been primarily investigated in a few model organisms and little is known about the dynamics of sRNA synthesis in natural environments, and the roles of these short transcripts at the community level. Analyzing the metatranscriptome of a model extremophilic community inhabiting halite nodules (salt rocks) from the Atacama Desert, sampled over two years with different weather conditions, with SnapT – a new sRNA annotation pipeline – we discovered hundreds of intergenic (itsRNAs) and antisense (asRNAs) sRNAs expressed.

Project description:Relentless mining operations have destroyed our environment significantly. Soil inhabiting microbes play a significant role in ecological restoration of these areas. Microbial weathering processes like chemical dissolution of rocks significantly promotes the soil properties and enhances the rock to soil ratio respectively. Earlier studies have reported that bacteria exhibit efficient rock-dissolution abilities by releasing organic acids and other chemical elements from the silicate rocks. However, rock-dissolving mechanisms of the bacterium remain to be unclear till date. Thus, we have performed rock-dissolution experiments followed by genome and transcriptome sequencing of novel Pseudomonas sp.NLX-4 strain to explore the efficiency of microbe-mediated habitat restoration and its molecular mechanisms underlying this biological process. Results obtained from initial rock dissolution experiments revealed that Pseudomonas sp. NLX-4 strain efficiently accelerates the dissolution of silicate rocks by secreting amino acids, exopolysaccharides, and organic acids with elevated concentrations of potassium, silicon and aluminium elements. The rock dissolution experiments of NLX-4 strain exhibited an initial increase in particle diameter variation values between 0-15 days and decline after 15 days-time respectively. The 6,771,445-base pair NLX-4 genome exhibited 63.21 GC percentage respectively with a total of 6041 protein coding genes. Genome wide annotations of NLX-4 strain exhibits 5045-COG, 3996-GO, 5342-InterPro, 4386-KEGG proteins respectively Transcriptome analysis of NLX-4 cultured with/without silicate rocks resulted in 539 (288-up and 251-down) differentially expressed genes (DEGs). Fifteen DEGs encoding for siderophore transport, EPS and amino acids synthesis, organic acids metabolism, and bacterial resistance to adverse environmental conditions were highly up-regulated by cultured with silicate rocks. This study has not only provided a new strategy for the ecological restoration of rock mining areas, but also enriched the applicable bacterial and genetic resources.

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.
