Project description:Photosystem II (PSII) is the most thermally sensitive component of photosynthesis. Thermal acclimation of this complex activity is likely to be critically important to the ability of photosynthetic organisms to tolerate temperature changes in the environment. We have analysed gene expression using whole-genome microarrays and monitored alterations in physiology during acclimation of PSII to elevated growth temperature in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803. PSII acclimation is complete within 480 minutes of exposure to elevated temperature and is associated with a highly dynamic transcriptional response. 176 genes were identified and classified into seven distinct response profile groups. Response profiles suggest the existence of an early transient phase and a sustained phase to the acclimation response. The early phase was characterised by induction of general stress response genes, including heat shock proteins, which are likely to influence PSII thermal stability. The sustained phase consisted of acclimation-specific alterations that are involved in other cellular processes. Sustained responses included genes involved in phycobillisome structure and modification, photosynthesis, respiration, lipid metabolism and motility. Approximately 60% of genes with sustained altered expression levels have no known function. The potential role of differentially expressed genes in thermotolerance and acclimation is discussed. We have characterised the acclimation physiology of selected gene ‘knockouts’ to elucidate possible gene function in the response. All mutants show lower PSII rates under normal growth conditions. Basal PSII thermotolerance was affected by mutations in clpB1, cpcC2, hspA, htpG and slr1674. Final PSII thermotolerance was affected by mutations in cpcC2, hik34, hspA and hypA1, suggesting that these gene products play roles in long-term thermal acclimation of PSII.

Gene expression levels were compared during a time-course (up to 8 hours) of thermal acclimation (from 25C to 38C) of a wild-type strain grown under continuous illumination and bubbled with CO2 -enriched air. Up to four independent biological replicates were generated and analysed. Each array: replicate matched time-point vs. 0hr control.

Project description:Iron is an essential cofactor in many metabolic reactions. Mechanisms controlling iron homeostasis need to respond to changes in extracellular conditions, but must also keep the concentration of intracellular iron under strict control, as free ferrous iron (Fe2+) can lead to the generation of reactive oxygen species. Due to its role as redox carrier in photosynthesis, the iron quota in cyanobacteria is about 10 times higher than in model enterobacteria, but the molecular details how such high quota is tightly regulated have remained obscure. Here, we measured time-resolved gene expression changes after iron depletion in the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 using a comprehensive microarray platform monitoring both protein-coding and non-coding transcripts. In total, 644 protein-coding genes were differentially expressed during the first 72h. Many of these proteins are associated with iron transport, photosynthesis or ATP synthesis. Comparing our data with three previous studies, we identified a core set of 28 genes involved in the iron stress response. Among them were genes encoding proteins important for assimilation of inorganic carbon, suggesting a previously unknown link between the carbon and iron regulatory networks. Nine of the 28 genes are of unknown function and constitute key targets for detailed functional analysis. Applying identical statistical and clustering criteria as for the protein-coding fraction, we also identified 10 small RNAs, 62 anti-sense RNAs, four 5M-bM-^@M-^YUTRs and 7 intergenic elements as likely to be involved in the iron regulatory network. Hence, our genome-wide profiling results indicate an unprecedented complexity in the iron-related regulatory network of cyanobacteria. We monitored iron limitation stress induced gene expression changes in the cyanobacterial model organism Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803. We included a control sample without iron-stress (0h) and 5 samples from timepoints after stress induction (3h, 12h, 24h, 48h, 72h). Each timepoint was sampled from two independent biological replicates.

Project description:Stress represents a major factor negatively affecting fish welfare in aquaculture. The objective of the present study was to identify and evaluate informative indicators for the welfare of maraena whitefish (Coregonus maraena) exposed to inconvenient temperatures. The present study compares the physiological impact of either acute or gradual temperature rise from 18 °C to 24 °C on maraena whitefish in aquaculture. We analysed microarray-based transcriptome profiles in liver, spleen and kidney and identified a common set of diagnostic biomarkers each indicating thermal stress induced by acute or gradual temperature rise in the selected tissues. We identified common and unique tissue- and stress mode-specific pathways reflecting metabolic, cell signalling and immunologic crossroads to cope with thermal stress.

Project description:Here, we investigate the genetic mechanisms that underlie thermal specialization of closely-related vibrios isolated from coastal water at the Beaufort Inlet (Beaufort, NC, USA). This location experiences large seasonal temperature fluctuations (annual range of ~20°C), and a clear seasonal shift in vibrio diversity has been observed (Yung et al. 2015). This previous study suggested that the mechanisms of thermal adaptation apparently differ based on evolutionary timescale: shifts in the temperature of maximal growth occur between deeply branching clades but the shape of the thermal performance curve changes on shorter time scales (Yung et al. 2015). The observed thermal specialization in vibrio populations over relatively short evolutionary time scales indicates that few genes or cellular processes may contribute to the differences in thermal performance between populations. In order to understand the molecular mechanisms that underlie adaptation to local thermal regimes in environmental vibrio populations, we employ genomic and transcriptomic approaches to examine transcriptomic changes that occur within strains grown at their thermal optima and under heat and cold stress. Moreover, we compare two closely-related strains with different laboratory thermal preferences to identify in situ evolutionary responses to different thermal environments in genome content and alleles as well as gene expression.

Project description:In this work, we describe the transcriptional profiles of adapted and non-adapted one-month-old Baikal whitefish juveniles after heat shock exposure. Preadapted fish were exposed to a repeated thermal rise of 6 °C above control temperature every 3 days throughout embryonic development. One month after hatching, preadapted and non-adapted larvae were either maintained at control temperatures (12 °C) or exposed to an acute thermal stress (TS) of 12 °C above control temperature. The information on transcriptional profiles will contribute to further understanding of the mechanisms of adaptation of whitefish to the environment.

Project description:Photoautotrophic cyanobacteria assimilate the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide as their sole carbon source for producing useful bioproducts. However, harvesting the cells from their liquid media is a major bottleneck in the process. Thus, an easy-to-harvest method, such as auto-flocculation, is desirable. Here, we found that cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 co-flocculated with a natural fungal contamination in the presence of the antibiotic erythromycin (EM) but not without EM. The fungi in the co-flocculated biomass were isolated and found to consist of five species with the filamentous Purpureocillium lilacinum and Aspergillus protuberus making up 71% of the overall fungal population. The optimal co-cultivation for flocculation was an initial 5 mg (fresh weight) of fungi, an initial cell density of Synechocystis of 0.2 OD730, 10 µM EM, and 14 days of cultivation in 100 mL of BG11 medium with no organic compound. This yielded 248 ± 28 mg/L of the Synechocystis-fungi flocculated biomass from 560 ± 35 mg/L of total biomass, a 44 ± 2 % biomass flocculation efficiency. Furthermore, the EM treated Synechocystis cells in the Synechocystis-fungi flocculate had a normal cell color and morphology, while those in the axenic suspension exhibited strong chlorosis. Thus, the occurrence of the Synechocystis-fungi flocculation was mediated by EM, and the co-flocculation with the fungi helped Synechocystis to alleviate the negative effect of EM. Transcriptomic analysis of suspended and flocculated (with the fungi) Synechocystis cells suggested that the EM-mediated co-flocculation was a result of down-regulation of the minor pilin genes and up-regulation of several genes including the chaperone gene for pilin regulation, the S-layer protein genes, the exopolysaccharide-polymerization gene, and the genes for signaling proteins involved in cell attachment and abiotic-stress responses. The EM treatment may be applied in the co-culture between other cyanobacteria and fungi to mediate cell bio-flocculation.
