Project description:Microalgae remain an important feedstock for the production of biofuels and bioproducts. Discovery of new species drives innovation for biotransformation, where bioengineering and other technological advances can significantly optimize performance. Production is predicated on deep knowledge of algal behavior predicted from genomic and phenotypic studies. However, prediction and manipulation of behavior, particularly for scale up, remains a challenge. Understanding the contribution of epigenetic processes to algal function provides another piece of this complex puzzle for achieving bioeconomy goals. Utilizing Nannochloropsis species as a model, we provide a methodological framework for investigating epigenetic processes, specifically DNA methylation, in new species and demonstrate best practices for discerning novel epigenetic modifications. We demonstrate specific forms of DNA methylation can be overlooked by traditional epigenetic analysis strategies. Using high-throughput, lower cost techniques, we provide evidence demonstrating Nannochloropsis gaditana and N. salina lack the most ubiquitous forms of eukaryotic DNA methylation (5mC and 5hmC) and instead employ N6-adenine methylation (6mA), commonly found in bacteria, in their genomes.

Project description:A mutualistic relationship between reef-building corals and endosymbiotic algae (Symbiodinium spp.) forms the basis for the existence of coral reefs. Genotyping tools for Symbiodinium spp. have added a new level of complexity to studies concerning cnidarian growth, nutrient acquisition, and stress. For example, the response of the coral holobiont to thermal stress is connected to the host-Symbiodinium genotypic combination, as different partnerships can have different bleaching susceptibilities. If, and to what extent, differences in algal symbiont clade contents can exert effects on the coral host transcriptome is currently unknown. In this study, we monitored algal physiological parameters and profiled the coral host transcriptional responses in acclimated, thermally stressed, and recovered coral fragments using a custom cDNA gene expression microarray. Combining these analyses with results from algal and host genotyping revealed a striking symbiont effect on both the acclimated coral host transcriptome and the magnitude of the thermal stress response. This is the first study that links coral host transcriptomic patterns to the clade content of their algal symbiont community. Our data provide a critical step to elucidating the molecular basis of the apparent variability seen among different coral-algal partnerships.

Project description:Aspergillus flavus and A. oryzae represent two unique species predicted to have spent centuries in vastly different environments. A. flavus is an important opportunistic plant pathogen known for contaminating crops with the carcinogenic mycotoxin, aflatoxin and A. oryzae is a domesticated fungus used in food fermentations. Remarkably, the genomes of these two species are still nearly identical. We have used the recently sequenced genomes of A. oryzae RIB40 and A. flavus NRRL3357 along with array based comparative genome hybridization (CGH) as a tool to compare genomes across several strains of these two species. A comparison of three strains from each species by CGH revealed only 42 and 129 genes unique to A. flavus and A. oryzae, respectively. Further, only 709 genes were identified as being polymorphic between the species. Despite the high degree of similarity between these two species, correlation analysis among all data from the CGH arrays for all strains used in this study reveals a species split. However, this view of species demarcation becomes muddled when focused on only those genes for secondary metabolism.

Project description:Chemostat experiments: Predator-prey dynamics were followed in four replicate chemostats (continuous-flow aquatic culture vessels) supplied with nitrogen-limited sterile medium that was otherwise sufficient in all nutrient constituents (Yoshida et al. 2003; Becks et al. 2010). Three chemostats contained 380 mL of medium, while the fourth, used for our algal gene expression study, contained 3000 mL so as to provide sufficient material for genetic analysis. Brachionus calyciflorus was isolated originally from Milwaukee harbor, Wisconsin, and provided by M. Boraas. Chlamydomonas reinhardtii was obtained from the University of Texas algal culture collection (UTEX 89). Both species reproduced asexually in our chemostat system. Though B. calyciflorus is naturally cyclically parthenogenetic, the rotifers in our stock culture have evolved not to produce males because the bubbling in our chemostats prevents mating; we used only one mating type of Chlamydomonas. Absence of sexual reproduction does not preclude the processes of microevolution (Bell 2009) that we study, and it is commonly accepted that asexual species can evolve (Lenski et al. 1991; Barrett et al. 2005). We used a Chlamydomonas lineage, founded from our original Chlamydomonas stock and then exposed continuously to Brachionus predation for six months in chemostat culture prior to this study during which Chlamydomonas evolved to form clumps (the 'grazed Chlamydomonas' lineage in Becks et al. 2010). We tracked changes in Chlamydomonas gene expression throughout two complete cycles of algal and rotifer abundance and concurrent cycles in algal defense. Algal samples were taken from one chemostat at intervals of approximately every ten days (8 dates total), chosen to capture critical transitions in cell clumping. A sample taken at the start of the experiment from the culture that was used to inoculate the chemostat was the standard against which algae from later samples were compared (i.e., the M-^Sgrazed ChlamydomonasM-^T). To obtain sufficient material for microarray analysis, ca. 1 - 1.5 L algal samples were collected and filtered through a 10-um mesh to exclude rotifers and rotifer eggs. The algal samples of ca. 100 ml of chemostat medium were concentrated by centrifugation and frozen. Samples were shock frozen in liquid nitrogen and transferred to -80C.
