Project description:Untargeted proteomics from a 5,000 km+ transect across the central Pacific Ocean from Hawaii to Tahiti. The expedition crossed multiple biogeochemical provinces, inlcuding the oligotrophic North Pacific Subtropical Gyre, the extremety of the Eastern Tropical North Pacific Oxygen Deficient Zone, and the relatively productive equatorial region associated with upwelling. This dataset focuses on the microbial fraction (0.2-3.0 micrometer filter size) and the microbial community dynamics across these biogeochemical provinces, from the surface oceance to the mesopelagic (1,250 m depth maximum).

Project description:The diazotroph Trichodesmium is an important contributor to marine dinitrogen (N2) fixation, supplying so-called new N to phytoplankton in typically N-limited ocean regions. Identifying how iron (Fe) and phosphorus (P) influence Trichodesmium activity and biogeography is an ongoing area of study, where predicting patterns of resource stress is complicated in part by the uncertain bioavailability of organically complexed Fe and P. Here, a comparison of 26 metaproteomes from picked Trichodesmium colonies identified significantly different patterns between three ocean regions: the western tropical South Pacific, the western North Atlantic, and the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre. Trichodesmium metaproteomes across these regions significantly differed in KEGG submodule signals, and vector fitting showed that dissolved Fe, phosphate, and temperature significantly correlated with regional proteome patterns. Populations in the western tropical South Pacific appeared to modulate their proteomes in response to both Fe and P stress, including a comparatively low relative abundance of the N2 fixation marker protein, NifH. Significant increases in the relative abundance of both Fe and P stress marker proteins previously validated in culture studies suggested that Trichodesmium populations in the western North Atlantic and North Pacific were P-stressed and Fe-stressed, respectively. These patterns recapitulate established regional serial and co-limitation patterns of resource stress on phytoplankton communities. Evaluating community stress patterns may therefore predict resource controls on diazotroph biogeography. These data highlight how Trichodesmium modulates its metabolism in the field and provide an opportunity to more accurately constrain controls on Trichodesmium biogeography and N2 fixation.

Project description:The global significance of marine non-cyanobacterial diazotrophs, notably heterotrophic bacterial diazotrophs (HBDs), has become increasingly clear. Understanding N2 fixation rates for these largely uncultured organisms poses a challenge due to uncertain growth requirements and complex nitrogenase regulation. We identified Candidatus Thalassolituus haligoni as an Oceanospirillales member, closely related to other significant γ-proteobacterial HBDs. Pangenome analysis reinforces this classification, indicating the isolate belongs to the same species as the uncultured metagenome-assembled genome Arc-Gamma-03. Analysis of the nifH gene in amplicon sequencing libraries reveals the extensive distribution of Cand. T. haligoni across the Pacific, Atlantic and Arctic Oceans. Through combined proteomic analysis and N2 fixation rate measurements, we confirmed the isolate’s capacity for nitrate independent N2 fixation, although a clear understanding of nitrogenase regulation remains unclear. Overall, our study highlights the significance of Cand. T. haligoni as the first globally distributed, cultured model species within the understudied group of Oceanospirillales, and γ-HBDs in general.

Project description:Diazotrophs provide the main source of reactive nitrogen to the ocean, sustaining primary productivity and CO2 uptake. Climate change is raising temperatures, decreasing pH and reducing nutrient availability. How microbes respond to these changes is largely unexplained. Similarly, the role of DOM in the growth and survival of certain diazotrophic organisms is poorly understood. Moreover, growing evidence indicates some diazotrophs are capable of utilizing distinct DOM compounds via osmotrophy providing them with additional metabolic plasticity and ecological advantages compared to other non-diazotrophic microbes. We aimed to understand how osmotrophy could modify carbon uptake and alleviate energy stress in diazotrophs under ongoing climate change perturbations. We hypothesized that Crocosphaera preferentially uses DOM when labile as a carbon source in present pH conditions, as compared to future more acidic scenarios with higher access to inorganic carbon. Alternatively, the lower pH may cause Crocosphaera to be energy limited when trying to maintain intracellular homeostasis which would favour DOM uptake as an extra source of energy.

Project description:Dataset from a shipboard incubation experiment of an ocean surface-water microbial community sampled at 25m depth at Station ALOHA in the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre. Incubations were amended with ammonium, glutamate, leucine, nitrate and urea, in two isotopic variants: 15N (to track incorporation by various community members) and 14N (for quantitation of abundance changes by diDO-IPTL).
