Project description:Increasing atmospheric CO2 concentrations are causing decreased pH over vast expanses of the ocean. This decreasing pH may alter biogeochemical cycling of carbon and nitrogen via the microbial process of nitrification, a key process that couples these cycles in the ocean, but which is often sensitive to acidic conditions. Recent reports indicate a decrease in oceanic nitrification rates under experimentally lowered pH. How composition and abundance of ammonia oxidizing bacteria (AOB) and archaea (AOA) assemblages respond to decreasing oceanic pH, however, is unknown. We sampled microbes from two different acidification experiments and used a combination of qPCR and functional gene microarrays for the ammonia monooxygenase gene (amoA) to assess how acidification alters the structure of ammonia oxidizer assemblages. We show that despite widely different experimental conditions, acidification consistently altered the community composition of AOB by increasing the relative abundance of taxa related to the Nitrosomonas ureae clade. In one experiment this increase was sufficient to cause an increase in the overall abundance of AOB. There were no systematic shifts in the community structure or abundance of AOA in either experiment. These different responses to acidification underscore the important role of microbial community structure in the resiliency of marine ecosystems.

Project description:Microbubbles are micron-sized bubbles generated using a fluidic oscillator. They have the potential to decrease the cost of biotechnology processes through decreasing the energy required for aeration and mixing. However, little is known about microbial physiology when grown on microbubbles. This project compared Saccharomyces Cerevisiae growth and transcriptomic effects when cells were grown with microbubble or regular bubble aeration

Project description:Melanoma patients receiving drugs targeting BRAFV600E and MKK1/2 invariably develop resistance and continue progression, limiting the efficacy of treatment. As an alternative to continuous dosing schedules, intermittent treatment strategies involving intervening periods of drug withdrawal have been proposed to delay resistance. The efficacy of this treatment strategy has been supported by preclinical findings and several clinical case reports. The beneficial effect of intermittent treatment has been attributed to “drug addiction”, in which the cell viability of resistant cells is compromised during periods of drug removal, presumably due to MAPK pathway hyperactivation. However, the cellular and molecular responses to intermittent treatment are still incompletely understood. Here, we investigate effects of intermittent treatment with the BRAFV600E inhibitor, encorafenib, in a metastatic melanoma cell line engineered to express genes conferring resistance to BRAF inhibition. We show that intermittent treatment shows superior growth suppression compared to continuous treatment for resistant cells that substantially reactivate the MAPK pathway. While drug addiction is clearly observable in these cells, it fails to account for the advantageous effects of intermittent treatment. Instead, growth suppression can mainly be explained by resensitization as most cell death is observed upon readdition of drug following periods of drug removal. Gene expression analysis shows that a unique and reversible transcriptional state is induced in intermittently treated cells following periods of drug removal. Thus, we conclude that the beneficial effects of intermittent treatment in our model are best explained by adaptive, non-mutational changes in transcription which confer drug resensitization.

Project description:Nitrification, the oxidation of ammonia via nitrite to nitrate, has always been considered to be a two-step process catalysed by chemolithoautotrophic microorganisms oxidizing either ammonia or nitrite. No known nitrifier carries out both steps, although complete nitrification should be energetically advantageous. This functional separation has puzzled microbiologists for a century. Here we report on the discovery and cultivation of a completely nitrifying bacterium from the genus Nitrospira, a globally distributed group of nitrite oxidizers. The genome of this chemolithoautotrophic organism encodes the pathways both for ammonia and nitrite oxidation, which are concomitantly activated during growth by ammonia oxidation to nitrate. Genes affiliated with the phylogenetically distinct ammonia monooxygenase and hydroxylamine dehydrogenase genes of Nitrospira are present in many environments and were retrieved on Nitrospira contigs in new metagenomes from engineered systems. These findings fundamentally change our picture of nitrification and point to completely nitrifying Nitrospira as key components of nitrogen-cycling microbial communities.
