Complete mitochondrial genome of the harmful algal bloom species Thalassiosira nordenskioeldii (Mediophyceae, Bacillariophyta) from the east China sea.

ABSTRACT: Thalassiosira nordenskioeldii is a common harmful algal bloom (HAB) species with worldwide distribution. Although barcode sequences of this ecologically important species have been published, no genome data have been published for T. nordenskioeldii. In this study, we constructed the complete mitochondrial genome (mtDNA) of a T. nordenskioeldii strain isolated from the East China Sea. The T. nordenskioeldii mtDNA is circular and has a length of 47,038 bp and a GC content of 30.84%. The mtDNA encodes 69 genes, including 40 protein-coding (PCGs), 27 tRNA and two rRNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis using concatenated amino acid sequences of 31 shared PCGs from 37 diatom mtDNAs revealed that the mtDNA of T. nordenskioeldii was fully resolved in a clade with that of Thalassiosira profunda. The mtDNA of T. nordenskioeldii showed high collinearity with those of T. profunda and Skeletonema marinoi with only minor rearrangements. The completion of Thalassiosira mtDNAs will facilitate evolutionary studies on species of the order Thalassiosirales and the class Mediophyceae.

Project description:Recently, harmful algal bloom (HAB), also termed "red tide", has been recognized as a serious problem in marine environments according to climate changes worldwide. Many novel materials or methods to prevent HAB have not yet been employed except for clay dispersion, in which can the resulting sedimentation on the seafloor can also cause alteration in marine ecology or secondary environmental pollution. In the current study, we investigated that antimicrobial peptide have a potential in controlling HAB without cytotoxicity to harmless marine organisms. Here, antimicrobial peptides are proposed as new algicidal compounds in combating HAB cells. HPA3 and HPA3NT3 peptides which exert potent antimicrobial activity via pore forming action in plasma membrane showed that HPA3NT3 reduced the motility of algal cells, disrupted their plasma membrane, and induced the efflux of intracellular components. Against raphidoflagellate such as Heterosigma akashiwo, Chattonella sp., and C. marina, it displayed a rapid lysing action in cell membranes at 1~4 µM within 2 min. Comparatively, its lysing effects occurred at 8 µM within 1 h in dinoflagellate such as Cochlodium polykrikoides, Prorocentrum micans, and P. minimum. Moreover, its lysing action induced the lysis of chloroplasts and loss of chlorophyll a. In the contrary, this peptide was not effective against Skeletonema costatum, harmless algal cell, even at 256 µM, moreover, it killed only H. akashiwo or C. marina in co-cultivation with S. costatum, indicating to its selective algicidal activity between harmful and harmless algal cells. The peptide was non-hemolytic against red blood cells of Sebastes schlegeli, the black rockfish, at 120 µM. HAB cells were quickly and selectively lysed following treatment of antimicrobial peptides without cytotoxicity to harmless marine organisms. Thus, the antibiotic peptides examined in our study appear to have much potential in effectively controlling HAB with minimal impact on marine ecology.

Project description:Mount Xianbei is one of the largest shallow seamounts located in the middle of the South China Sea (SCS), which might play a role in shaping the biodiversity of surrounding continental coastal waters, particularly the diversity of phytoplankton species causing frequent harmful algal blooms (HABs) in northern SCS. However, the diversity, composition, and distribution of phytoplankton species in the seamount regions of Xianbei remain largely unexplored. In this study, samples around and outside the seamount regions were collected during a late summer cruise of 2021 to test whether seamounts play a role in HAB species propagation. In total, we identified 19 HAB species across all samples using the ASV-based DNA metabarcoding approach, 6 of which had not been reported previously in the SCS, suggesting a diverse HAB species in the SCS. Specifically, 16 HAB species were found in the seamount region of Xianbei, and 5 of them were also found in the coastal waters, indicating a close connection between seamount and coastal waters. This study was the first attempt to explore HAB species' spatial diversity and vertical distribution in the seamount region of Xianbei at single-nucleotide resolution, which provides a novel explanation for the coastal HAB occurrence in the northern SCS. IMPORTANCE There are a number of seamounts under the water of the South China Sea (SCS). The seamounts might play a role in shaping the biodiversity of surrounding continental coastal waters. However, there is no direct evidence revealing the relationship of the biodiversity of phytoplankton between seamounts and coastal waters in the SCS, especially those species having the potential to form harmful algal blooms (HABs). Some HAB species might proliferate in certain geographic locations, while others may be broadly distributed across oceanic provinces. In this study, we provided a detailed analysis of phytoplankton composition and molecular detection of HAB species from seamount to coastal waters in the SCS, which suggested a strong interaction in the HAB species between the two areas. This finding provides new insights into the diversity and distribution of HABs in seamounts and their role in shaping the composition and the occurrence of HABs in coastal water.
