Project description:Sequencing the metatranscriptome can provide information about the response of organisms to varying environmental conditions. We present a methodology for obtaining random whole-community mRNA from a complex microbial assemblage using Pyrosequencing. The metatranscriptome had, with minimum contamination by ribosomal RNA, significant coverage of abundant transcripts, and included significantly more potentially novel proteins than in the metagenome. Keywords: metatranscriptome, mesocosm, ocean acidification This experiment is part of a much larger experiment. We have produced 4 454 metatranscriptomic datasets and 6 454 metagenomic datasets. These were derived from 4 samples. The experiment is an ocean acidification mesocosm set up in a Norwegian Fjord in 2006. We suspended 6 bags containing 11,000 L of sea water in a Coastal Fjord and then we bubbled CO2 through three of these bags to simulate ocean acidification conditions in the year 2100. The other three bags were bubbled with air. We then induced a phytoplankton bloom in all six bags and took measurements and performed analyses of phytoplankton, bacterioplankton and physiochemical characteristics over a 22 day period. We took water samples from the peak of the phytoplankton bloom and following the decline of the phytoplankton bloom to analyses using 454 metagenomics and 454 metatranscriptomics. Day 1, High CO2 Bag and Day 1, Present Day Bag, refer to the metatranscriptomes from the peak of the bloom. Day 2, High CO2 Bag and Day 2, Present Day Bag, refer to the metatranscriptomes following the decline of the bloom. Obviously High CO2 refers to the ocean acidification mesocosm and Present Day refers to the control mesocosm. Raw data for both the metagenomic and metatranscriptomic components are available at NCBI's Short Read Archive at ftp://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sra/Studies/SRP000/SRP000101

Project description:In this research we present a transcriptomics analysis of the physiological response of a marine calcifier, Strongylocentrotus purpuratus, to ocean acidification, a decline in ocean pH that results from the absorption of anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2). Larvae were raised from fertilization to prism stage in seawater with elevated CO2 conditions based upon IPCC emissions scenario B1 (540ppm CO2) and A1FI (1020ppm CO2).

Project description:The filamentous diazotrophic cyanobacteria Trichodesmium spp. supply fixed nitrogen (N) to the N-depleted oligotrophic oceans where their growth is often limited by the low availability of phosphorus(P) and/or iron. Previous studies have mostly been focused on the effects of ocean acidification on Trichodesmium under nutrient sufficient or iron-limited conditions. Only a few studies have examined the impacts of ocean acidification on Trichodesmium grown at low P concentrations using non-steady-state batch cultures. Here we cultured Trichodesmium using P-limited continuous cultures (chemostat) to mimic steady-state oceanic low P condition, and used comparative NGS-derived Trichodesmium transcriptome profiling (RNA-seq) analysis to find differentially expressed genes and cellular pathways in response to acidification.

Project description:The effects of ocean acidification (OA) on nitrous oxide (N2O) production and on the community composition of ammonium oxidising archaea (AOA) were examined in the northern and southern sub-polar and polar Atlantic Ocean. Two research cruises were performed during June 2012 between the North Sea and Arctic Greenland and Barent Seas, and in January-February 2013 to the Antarctic Scotia Sea. Seven stations were occupied in all during which shipboard experimental manipulations of the carbonate chemistry were performed through additions of NaHCO3- + HCl in order to examine the impact of short- term (48 hour for N2O and between 96 and 168 hour for AOA) exposure to control and elevated conditions of OA. During each experiment, triplicate incubations were performed at ambient conditions and at 3 lowered levels of pH which varied between 0.06 and 0.4 units according to the total scale and which were targeted at CO2 partial pressures of ~500, 750 and 1000 μatm. The AOA assemblage in both Arctic and Antarctic regions was dominated by two major archetypes that represent the marine AOA clades most often detected in seawater. There were no significant changes in AOA assemblage composition between the beginning and end of the incubation experiments. N2O production was sensitive to decreasing pHT at all stations and decreased by between 2.4 and 44% with reduced pHT values of between 0.06 and 0.4. The reduction in N2O yield from nitrification was directly related to a decrease of between 28 and 67% in available NH3 as a result of the pH driven shift in the NH3:NH4+ equilibrium. The maximum reduction in N2O production at conditions projected for the end of the 21st century was estimated to be 0.82 Tg N y-1.

Project description:In this study we investigated how changes in pH and ocean chemistry consistent with the scenarios of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) drive major changes in gene expression, respiration, photosynthesis and symbiosis of the coral, Acropora millepora, long before they affect biomineralization. Changes in gene expression were consistent with metabolic suppression, an increase in oxidative stress, apoptosis and symbiont loss. Other expression patterns demonstrated up-regulation of membrane transporters, as well as the regulation of genes involved in membrane cytoskeletal interactions and cytoskeletal remodeling. These widespread changes in gene expression emphasize the need to expand future studies of ocean acidification to include a wider spectrum of cellular processes, many of which may occur well before impacts on calcification. We applied a reference microarray design for the experiment outlined in the study, which was a three condition experiment of ocean acidification: control pH 8.0-8.2, medium pH 7.8-7.9 and high pH 7.6-7.7, and across three time points: time zero, day 1 and day 28. Samples from time zero and control treatments were used to generate the reference sample for the microarray hybridization experiments. A total of 27 microarrays were used in the entire experiment, 3 biological replicates per treatment and timepoint. Reference samples in each array was labeled with Cy3, and the actual experimental samples with Cy5.

Project description:In recent years, increasing levels of dissolved carbon dioxide in seawater have led to an increase of ocean acidification (OA), which constitutes a major threat to marine ecosystems. As an important economically marine bivalve, Mactra veneriformis is highly susceptible to ocean acidification. In this study, we recorded and observed the mortality rate, oxygen consumption rate and ammonia excretion rate of different shell colour groups of M. veneriformis under the stress of ocean acidification (pH=7.6), and conducted transcriptome analysis of the mantle tissues of M. veneriformis with white and purple shell colours in the acidified group (pH=7.6) and the control group (pH=8.1) under the two conditions, which showed that there was a significant difference in mortality rate between the acidified group and the control group at day 30, but there was a significant difference in mortality rate between the white colors group and the purple colors group at day 30, which was not significant. The results showed that there was a significant difference in mortality between the acidified and control groups at day 30, but the difference in mortality between the white and purple shell colour groups at day 30 was not significant. In the transcriptome analysis, fatty acid synthase gene was up-regulated in two shell colours of M. veneriformis under acidification stress, which may be a molecular compensatory mechanism to reduce the susceptibility of organisms to oxidative damage of lipids; tyrosinase gene was up-regulated, which may be a compensatory mechanism of Tyr's regulatory mechanism to the formation of shell damages under acidification; carbonic anhydrase gene was up-regulated in the purple group of M. veneriformis under acidification stress, which may be a compensatory mechanism for the acidity of M. veneriformis to cope with environmental stress; the white group of M. veneriformis under acidification stress was up-regulated. The carbonic anhydrase gene was up-regulated in the purple group under acidification stress, which may be an acidity compensation mechanism of M. veneriformis in response to the environmental stress.
