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:Our paper presents the results of a study in which we used whole genome bisulfite sequencing (WGBS), RNA-Seq (i.e. transcriptomics), high-CO2 physiology experiments, and spatiotemporally separated samples isolated in situ (i.e. directly from the ocean) to examine the metabolic potential of genome-wide cytosine (5mC) methylation (i.e. epigenomics), its potential impacts to transcriptional dynamics under both present-day and future ocean acidification conditions, and its biogeographic conservation in the globally-significant, biogeochemically-critical marine cyanobacterium Trichodesmium.

Project description:This project presents field metaproteomics data from Trichodesmium colonies collected from the surface ocean. Most were collected from the tropical and subtropical Atlantic ocean, but there is also data from the long term Bermuda Atlantic Time Series and Hawaii Ocean Time Series. Trichodesmium is a globally important marine microbe and its growth and nitrogen fixation activity is limited by nutrient availability in the surface ocean. This dataset was generated to answer questions about limitations on Trichodesmium's growth and activity in the nature.

Project description:The marine cyanobacterium Trichodesmium is unusual in its genomic architecture as 40% of the genome is occupied by non-coding DNA. Although the majority of it is transcribed into RNA, it is not well understood why such a large non-coding genome fraction is maintained. Mobile genetic elements can contribute to genome expansion. Many bacteria harbor introns whereas twintrons, introns-in-introns, are rare and not known to interrupt protein-coding genes in bacteria. Here we show the sequential in vivo splicing of a 5400 nt long group II twintron interrupting a highly conserved gene that is associated with RNase HI in some cyanobacteria, but free-standing in others, including Trichodesmium erythraeum. We show that twintron splicing results in a putatively functional mRNA. The full genetic arrangement was found conserved in two geospatially distinct metagenomic datasets supporting its functional relevance. We further show that splicing of the inner intron yields the free intron as a true circle. This reaction requires the spliced exon reopening (SER) reaction to provide a free 5' exon. The fact that Trichodesmium harbors a functional twintron fits in well with the high intron load of these genomes, and suggests peculiarities in its genetic machinery permitting such arrangements.

Project description:Our paper presents the results of a study in which we used Illumina RNA-Seq (i.e. transcriptomics) and high-CO2 nutrient limitation experiments to examine transcriptional variation of iron-limited, phosphorus-limited, and iron-phosphorus co-limited cultures following long-term (~7 years) low- (380 µatm CO2) and high-CO2 (750 µatm CO2) selection. Hence, we describe the molecular physiology of the globally-significant, biogeochemically-critical marine cyanobacterium Trichodesmium.
