Project description:Genus Halimeda is a worldwide distributed reef-building organism facilitated by fast growth and a rapid turnover rate in tropical and sub-tropical oceans. It is an excellent candidate for calcareous algae research because its calcification occurs extracellular, which deposits aragonite in the semi-enclosed inter-utricle space. In this study, we sampled the thalli of Halimeda macroloba in Sanya Bay of the South China Sea. The mean winter and summer water temperatures in Sanya Bay were 25.05℃ and 28.72℃, respectively. Additionally, the mean surface and bottom layer water temperatures in summer were 29.61℃ and 27.23℃. In order to simulate the natural temperature range, a factorial experimental design with three treatments (25°C, 28°C, and 31°C) was set. The goal of this study was to decipher the underlying traits that may facilitate H. opuntia to maintain high productivity and active physiology under different temperatures. Here, we employed iTRAQ-based quantitative proteomics and untargeted metabolomics approaches to investigate the protein and metabolite profiles of H. macroloba.

Project description:Microarray technology provides a powerful tool for gene discovery studies, but the development of microarrays for individual species can be expensive and time-consuming. In this study, we test the suitability of a Danio rerio oligonucleotide microarray for application in a species with few genomic resources, the coral reef fish Pomacentrus moluccensis. Coral reef fishes are expected to experience rising sea surface temperatures due to climate change. How well tropical reef fish species will respond to these increased temperatures and which genes are important for resistance and adaptation to elevated temperatures is not known. Microarray technology may help identify candidate genes for thermal stress resistance in coral reef fishes. Results from a comparative genomic DNA hybridisation experiment and direct sequence comparisons indicate that for most genes there is significant sequence similarity between P. moluccensis and D. rerio, suggesting that the D. rerio array is applicable to P. moluccensis. Heterologous microarray experiments on heat-stressed P. moluccensis identified changes in transcript abundance at 120 gene loci, with many genes involved in protein processing, transcription, and cell growth. Changes in transcript abundance for a selection of candidate genes were confirmed by quantitative real-time PCR. We have demonstrated that heterologous microarrays can be successfully employed to study non-model organisms. Such a strategy thus greatly enhances the applicability of microarray technology to the field of environmental and functional genomics and will be useful for investigating the molecular basis of thermal adaptation in coral reef fishes.

Project description:Coral disease is one of the major causes of reef degradation and therefore of concern to management and conservation efforts. Dark Spot Syndrome (DSS) was described in the early 1990’s as brown or purple amorphous areas of tissue on a coral and has since become one of the most prevalent diseases reported on Caribbean reefs. It has been identified in a number of coral species, but there is debate as to whether it is in fact the same disease in different corals. Further, it is questioned whether these macroscopic signs are in fact diagnostic of an infectious disease, since they can also be caused by physical injury in some species. The most commonly affected species in the Caribbean is the massive starlet coral Siderastrea siderea. We sampled this species in two geographic locations, Dry Tortugas National Park and Virgin Islands National Park. Tissue biopsies were collected from both healthy colonies with normal pigmentation and those with dark spot lesions. Microbial-community DNA was extracted from coral samples (mucus, tissue, and skeleton), amplified using bacterial-specific primers, and applied to PhyloChip™ G3 microarrays to examine the bacterial diversity associated with this coral. Samples were also screened for the presence of a fungal ribotype that has recently been implicated as a causative agent of DSS in another coral species, however the amplicon pools were overwhelmed by coral 18S rRNA genes from S. siderea. Unlike a similar study on a white-plague-like disease, S. siderea samples did not cluster consistently based on health state (i.e., normal versus dark spot). Various bacteria, including Cyanobacteria and Vibrios, were observed to have increased relative abundance in the discolored tissue, but the patterns were not consistent across all DSS samples. Overall, our findings do not support the hypothesis that DSS in S. siderea is linked to a bacterial pathogen or pathogens. This dataset provides the most comprehensive overview to date of the bacterial community associated with the healthy scleractinian coral S. siderea. 17 samples, coral tissue punches from healthy and also from dark-spot-affected Siderastrea Siderea coral in the Virgin Islands and the Dry Tortugas National Parks was collected for comparison of associated bacterial communities

Project description:This experiment assessed the natural gene expression variation present between colonies of the Indo-Pacific reef-building coral Acropora millepora, and additionally explored whether gene expression differed between two different intron haplotypes according to intron 4-500 in a carbonic anhydrase homolog. This study found no correspondence between host genotype and transcriptional state, but found significant intercolony variation, detecting 488 representing unique genes or 17% of the total genes analyzed. Such transcriptomic variation could be the basis upon which natural selection can act. Underlying variation could potentially allow reef corals to respond to different environments. Whether this source of variation and the genetic responses of corals and its symbionts will allow coral reefs to cope to the rapid pace of global change remains unknown. A. millepora colonies were brought to a common garden in the reef lagoon, i.e. under the same environmental conditions. This common garden combined with acclimatization removes environmental effects on the physiology of the coral colonies. For the comparison of the two intron haplotypes, we applied a multiple dye-swap microarray design for the two groups of coral colonies (N=3 per group) defined based on the two genotypes resolved with the use of intron 4-500 (Fig. 1). To also examine the intra-haplotype variation we added a loop design nested to the above multiple dye-swap design, where three samples per colony were included. Colonies 1, 2, and 3 are of intron 4-500 haplotype 1; colonies 4, 5, and 6 are haplotype 2.

Project description:Abstract Ocean warming elevates metabolic rates in marine ectotherms but often constrains energetic resources, causing an imbalance between supply and demand. Transient hypoxia is near-ubiquitous across the world’s coral reefs and may exacerbate this imbalance, yet its effects on the energetics of reef fishes remain poorly understood. In this study, we assess the metabolic costs incurred by a cryptobenthic reef fish exposed to oxygen fluxes measured on the world’s hottest coral reefs in the Arabian/Persian Gulf. Hypoxia-exposure induced an 8.67% increase in aerobic metabolic rate over the six hours following reoxygenation, and resulted in an estimated 2.87% increase in total daily metabolic rate (mg O2 kg -1 day-1). This energetic cost did not coincide with detectable changes in anaerobic metabolism but was accompanied by increased activity during reoxygenation and a strong, acute transcriptomic response in genes related to oxygen-sensing. Oxygen availability on the reefs declined below the threshold for inducing such energetic costs on over half (56.04%) of the days throughout the summer, potentially leading to substantial cumulative costs. Such energetic costs represent an additional and previously under-appreciated consequence of hypoxia in coral reef environments that may exacerbate the temperature-induced mismatches between energy supply and demand, a key balance affecting growth and fitness.

Project description:Acclimatization through phenotypic plasticity represents a more rapid response to environmental change than adaptation and is vital to optimize organisms’ performance in different conditions. Generally, animals are less phenotypically plastic than plants, but reef-building corals exhibit plant-like properties. They are light-dependent with a sessile and moddular construction that facilitates rapid morphological changes within their lifetime. We induced phenotypic changes by altering light exposure in a reciprocal transplant experiment and found that coral plasticity is a colony trait emerging from comprehensive morphological and physiological changes within the colony. Plasticity in skeletal features optimized coral light harvesting and utilization and paralleled with significant methylome and transcriptome modifications. Network-associated responses resulted in the identification of hub genes and clusters associated to the change in phenotype: inter-partner recognition and phagocytosis, soft tissue growth and biomineralization. Furthermore, we identified hub genes putatively involved in animal photoreception-phototransduction. These findings fundamentally advance our understanding of how reef-building corals repattern the methylome and adjust a phenotype, revealing an important role of light sensing by the coral animal to optimize photosynthetic performance of the symbionts.
