Draft genome sequence of the Antarctic green alga Chlamydomonas sp. UWO241.

Project description:Antarctica is home to an assortment of psychrophilic algae, which have evolved various survival strategies for coping with their frigid environments. Here, we explore Antarctic psychrophily by examining the ∼212 Mb draft nuclear genome of the green alga Chlamydomonas sp. UWO241, which resides within the water column of a perennially ice-covered, hypersaline lake. Like certain other Antarctic algae, UWO241 encodes a large number (≥37) of ice-binding proteins, putatively originating from horizontal gene transfer. Even more striking, UWO241 harbors hundreds of highly similar duplicated genes involved in diverse cellular processes, some of which we argue are aiding its survival in the Antarctic via gene dosage. Gene and partial gene duplication appear to be an ongoing phenomenon within UWO241, one which might be mediated by retrotransposons. Ultimately, we consider how such a process could be associated with adaptation to extreme environments but explore potential non-adaptive hypotheses as well.

New molecular insights on the response of the green alga Tetraselmis suecica to nitrogen starvation.

Project description:Microalgae are currently considered one of the most promising resources for biofuel production, aquaculture feedstock and new pharmaceuticals. Among them, green algae of the genus Tetraselmis are extensively studied for their lipid accumulation in nutrient-starvation conditions. In this paper, we present the full-transcriptome of Tetraselmis suecica and differential expression analysis between nitrogen-starved and -repleted conditions (at stationary phase) focusing not only on lipid metabolism but giving new insights on nutrient starvation responses. Transcripts involved in signal transduction pathways, stress and antioxidant responses and solute transport were strongly up-regulated when T. suecica was cultured under nitrogen starvation. On the contrary, transcripts involved in amino acid synthesis, degradation of sugars, secondary metabolite synthesis, as well as photosynthetic activity were down-regulated under the same conditions. Among differentially expressed transcripts, a polyketide synthase and three lipoxygenases (involved in the synthesis of secondary metabolites with antipredator, anticancer and anti-infective activities) were identified, suggesting the potential synthesis of bioactive compounds by this microalga. In addition, the transcript for a putative nitrilase, enzyme used in nitrile bioremediation, is here reported for the first time for T. suecica. These findings give new insights on T. suecica responses to nutrient starvation and on possible biotechnological applications for green algae.

Tsv-N1: A Novel DNA Algal Virus that Infects Tetraselmis striata.

Project description:Numbering in excess of 10 million per milliliter of water, it is now undisputed that aquatic viruses are one of the major factors shaping the ecology and evolution of Earth's microbial world. Nonetheless, environmental viral diversity and roles remain poorly understood. Here we report the first thorough characterization of a virus (designated TsV) that infects the coastal marine microalga Tetraselmis striata. Unlike previously known microalgae-infecting viruses, TsV is a small (60 nm) DNA virus, with a 31 kb genome. From a range of eight different strains belonging to the Chlamydomonadaceae family, TsV was only able to infect T. striata. Gene expression dynamics revealed an up-regulation of viral transcripts already 1 h post-infection (p.i.). First clear signs of infection were observed 24 h p.i., with the appearance of viral factories inside the nucleus. TsV assembly was exclusively nuclear. TsV-N1 genome revealed very different from previously known algae viruses (Phycodnaviridae). Putative function and/or homology could be resolved for only 9 of the 33 ORFs encoded. Among those was a surprising DNA polymerase type Delta (only found in Eukaryotes), and two genes with closest homology to genes from human parasites of the urogenital tract. These results support the idea that the diversity of microalgae viruses goes far beyond the Phycodnaviridae family and leave the door open for future studies on implications of microalgae viruses for human health.

Recombinant Expression of Thrombolytic Agent Reteplase in Marine Microalga Tetraselmis subcordiformis (Chlorodendrales, Chlorophyta).

Project description:Tetraselmis subcordiformis, a unicellular marine green alga, is used widely in aquaculture as an initial feeding for fish, bivalve mollusks, penaeid shrimp larvae, and rotifers because of its rich content of amino acids and fatty acids. A stable nuclear transformation system using the herbicide phosphinothricin (PPT) as a selective reagent was established previously. In this research, the recombinant expression in T. subcordiformis was investigated by particle bombardment with the rt-PA gene that encodes the recombinant human tissue-type plasminogen activator (Reteplase), which is a thrombolytic agent for acute myocardial infarction treatment. Transgenic algal strains were selected by their resistance to PPT, and expression of rt-PA was validated by PCR, Southern blotting, and Western blotting, and bioactivity of rt-PA was confirmed by the fibrin agarose plate assay for bioactivity. The results showed that rt-PA was integrated into the genome of T. subcordiformis, and the expression product was bioactive, indicating proper post-transcriptional modification of rt-PA in T. subcordiformis. This report contributes to efforts that take advantage of marine microalgae as cell factories to prepare recombinant drugs and in establishing a characteristic pathway of oral administration in aquaculture.
