A source of isotopically light organic carbon in a low-pH anoxic marine zone.

ABSTRACT: Geochemical and stable isotope measurements in the anoxic marine zone (AMZ) off northern Chile during periods of contrasting oceanographic conditions indicate that microbial processes mediating sulfur and nitrogen cycling exert a significant control on the carbonate chemistry (pH, A_T, DIC and pCO₂) of this region. Here we show that in 2015, a large isotopic fractionation between DIC and POC, a DIC and N deficit in AMZ waters indicate the predominance of in situ dark carbon fixation by sulfur-driven autotrophic denitrification in addition to anammox. In 2018, however, the fractionation between DIC and POC was significantly lower, while the total alkalinity increased in the low-pH AMZ core, suggesting a predominance of heterotrophic processes. An isotope mass-balance model demonstrates that variations in the rates of sulfur- and nitrogen-mediated carbon fixation in AMZ waters contribute ~7-35% of the POC exported to deeper waters. Thus, dark carbon fixation should be included in assessments of future changes in carbon cycling and carbonate chemistry due to AMZ expansion.

Operation mode of a step-feed anoxic/oxic process with distribution of carbon source from anaerobic zone on nutrient removal and microbial properties.

Project description:This study investigated the operation mode of a step-feed anoxic/oxic (A/O) process with distribution of the carbon source from the anaerobic zone in terms of the treatment effects on sewage with low carbon and high nitrogen and phosphorus. After seven phases of operation, an optimal flow distribution ratio of 75%:25% was obtained from the anaerobic zone, and the concentrations of chemical oxygen demand, ammonia nitrogen, total nitrogen, and total phosphorous in the effluent were 20.8, 0.64, 14.2, and 0.89?mg/L, respectively. The presence of an internal reflux system in the deaeration zone improved the treatment. 16S rRNA high-throughput sequencing revealed that the microbial communities in aerobic zone I(O1) of the first-step A/O sludge were different from those in aerobic zone I (O2) of the second-step A/O sludge, whereas microbial communities of the seed sludge were similar to those in O2 of the second-step A/O sludge. The richness and diversity of microbial communities in O1 of the first-step A/O sludge samples were higher than those in O2 of the second-step A/O and seed sludge. At the optimal flow distribution ratio, the microbial abundance and treatment removal efficiency were the highest.

Visible-Light-Driven Water Oxidation on Self-Assembled Metal-Free Organic@Carbon Junctions at Neutral pH.

Project description:Sustainable water oxidation requires low-cost, stable, and efficient redox couples, photosensitizers, and catalysts. Here, we introduce the in situ self-assembly of metal-atom-free organic-based semiconductive structures on the surface of carbon supports. The resulting TTF/TTF•+@carbon junction (TTF = tetrathiafulvalene) acts as an all-in-one highly stable redox-shuttle/photosensitizer/molecular-catalyst triad for the visible-light-driven water oxidation reaction (WOR) at neutral pH, eliminating the need for metallic or organometallic catalysts and sacrificial electron acceptors. A water/butyronitrile emulsion was used to physically separate the photoproducts of the WOR, H+ and TTF, allowing the extraction and subsequent reduction of protons in water, and the in situ electrochemical oxidation of TTF to TTF•+ on carbon in butyronitrile by constant anode potential electrolysis. During 100 h, no decomposition of TTF was observed and O2 was generated from the emulsion while H2 was constantly produced in the aqueous phase. This work opens new perspectives for a new generation of metal-atom-free, low-cost, redox-driven water-splitting strategies.

Genomic potential for nitrogen assimilation in uncultivated members of Prochlorococcus from an anoxic marine zone.

Project description:Cyanobacteria of the genus Prochlorococcus are the most abundant photosynthetic marine organisms and key factors in the global carbon cycle. The understanding of their distribution and ecological importance in oligotrophic tropical and subtropical waters, and their differentiation into distinct ecotypes, is based on genetic and physiological information from several isolates. Currently, all available Prochlorococcus genomes show their incapacity for nitrate utilization. However, environmental sequence data suggest that some uncultivated lineages may have acquired this capacity. Here we report that uncultivated low-light-adapted Prochlorococcus from the nutrient-rich, low-light, anoxic marine zone (AMZ) of the eastern tropical South Pacific have the genetic potential for nitrate uptake and assimilation. All genes involved in this trait were found syntenic with those present in marine Synechococcus. Genomic and phylogenetic analyses also suggest that these genes have not been aquired recently, but perhaps were retained from a common ancestor, highlighting the basal characteristics of the AMZ lineages within Prochlorococcus.

Mycobacterium tuberculosis transcriptional responses to acidic pH and carbon source

Project description:The purpose of this study was to examine how Mtb integrates acidic pH and available carbon sources as environmental cues to regulate its metabolism and growth rate. RNA-seq transcriptional profiling of M. tuberculosis growing at acidic or neutral pH, in pyruvate or glycerol, was examined. These studies identified carbon source-dependent and -independent pH-dependent adaptations. Mtb strain CDC1551 was grown in standing T-75 flasks in 40 mL of medium seeded an initial OD of 0.1. We examined medium in four conditions pH 7.0 10 mM glycerol, pH 5.7 10 mM glycerol, pH 7.0 10 mM pyruvate, pH 5.7 10 mM pyruvate. Following 3 days of incubation at 37C, RNA was isolated from the bacterial cultures and used for RNA-seq.

Anthropogenic dissolved organic carbon and marine microbiomes.

Project description:Thousands of synthetic chemicals and hydrocarbons are released to the marine environment composing the anthropogenic dissolved organic carbon (ADOC). Most ADOC is disproportionally hydrophobic, and consequently, its concentrations in the cell membranes are between a thousand and hundred million fold higher than those in the dissolved phase. Marine microorganisms respond to ADOC by multiple strategies ranging from ADOC degradation to detoxifying metabolisms. We argue that the increasing concentrations of ADOC in the oceans deriving from rivers, atmospheric deposition, and plastic leachates can have an effect on the health of the oceans and influence the major biogeochemical cycles, thus influencing the Earth system during the Anthropocene.

Aspergillus niger exposed to combinations of carbon source, nitrogen source, nitrogen concentration, and culture pH

Project description:Microarray analysis of Aspergillus niger under conditions with differing combinations of carbon source, nitrogen source, nitrogen concentration, and culture pH Fermentor cultures were grown in minimal medium (MM) at a constant temperature of 30 ± 0.5 ºC and with differing combinations of carbon source (either 277.5 mM glucose or 333.0 mM xylose), nitrogen source (NH4Cl or NaNO3) and nitrogen concentration (4x: 282.4 mM; 8x: 564.8 mM), and pH (pH4 or pH5) of the medium (M. Braaksma, A.K. Smilde, M.J. van der Werf, P.J. Punt, submitted for publication). At different time points samples were collected, quenched immediately in methanol at -45 ºC and centrifuged at -20 ºC to remove supernatant. Part of the biomass was frozen into liquid nitrogen and stored at -80 ºC for microarray analysis. For each of the 16 culture conditions one sample was selected for microarray analysis; samples were collected either around the time point carbon source depleted or a considerable time (~24 h) after carbon souce depletion. In addition some technical duplicates were included. 20 samples were analyzed from 16 different fermentation conditions. The fermentation conditions were varied according to a full factorial design of four factors tested at two levels. From one fermentation two different time samples were analyzed, from another fermentation four samples, two technical replicates of two different time samples, were analyzed. Samples were collected either around the time point carbon source depleted or a considerable time (~24 h) after carbon souce depletion.

The chemical succession in anoxic lake waters as source of molecular diversity of organic matter.

Project description:The aquatic networks that connect soils with oceans receive each year 5.1 Pg of terrestrial carbon to transport, bury and process. Stagnant sections of aquatic networks often become anoxic. Mineral surfaces attract specific components of organic carbon, which are released under anoxic conditions to the pool of dissolved organic matter (DOM). The impact of the anoxic release on DOM molecular composition and reactivity in inland waters is unknown. Here, we report concurrent release of iron and DOM in anoxic bottom waters of northern lakes, removing DOM from the protection of iron oxides and remobilizing previously buried carbon to the water column. The deprotected DOM appears to be highly reactive, terrestrially derived and molecularly distinct, generating an ambient DOM pool that relieves energetic constraints that are often assumed to limit carbon turnover in anoxic waters. The Fe-to-C stoichiometry during anoxic mobilization differs from that after oxic precipitation, suggesting that up to 21% of buried OM escapes a lake-internal release-precipitation cycle, and can instead be exported downstream. Although anoxic habitats are transient and comprise relatively small volumes of water on the landscape scale, our results show that they may play a major role in structuring the reactivity and molecular composition of DOM transiting through aquatic networks and reaching the oceans.
