Project description:Brown algae (Phaeophyceae) are complex photosynthetic organisms with a very different evolutionary history to green plants, to which they are only distantly related. These seaweeds are the dominant species in rocky coastal ecosystems and they exhibit many interesting adaptations to these, often harsh, environments. The brown algae are also important because they are one of only a very small number of eukaryotic lineages that have evolved complex multicellularity. This work used whole genome tiling array approach to generate a comprehensive transcriptome map of the filamentous seaweed Ectocarpus siliculosus (Dillwyn) Lyngbye, a model organism for the brown algae. Keywords: high-resolution tiling array, brown algae, ectocarpus The slides were hybridised with two, labelled samples: 1) a mixture of labelled cDNA corresponding to RNA samples from mature sporophytes and gametophytes and from immature sporophytes stressed either in high salt medium or by addition of hydrogen peroxide and 2) genomic DNA as a control.

Project description:Non-starch soluble polysaccharides (NSPs) produced by yeasts are used in animal nutrition to improve health and performance. However, the magnitude of the effect may be dependent upon the quantity and the composition of the polysaccharides. As seaweeds are attractive sources of NSPs, this study was set up to evaluate their potential to improve intestinal health. The effect of NSP extracts prepared from Saccharomyces cerevisiae containing β-glucan and mannan (PSY1, positive control) or a mixture of mannanoligosaccharides (PSY2, positive control), micro algae containing β-glucan (PSA1), brown macro algae containing fucoidan and laminarin (PSA2), and green macro algae containing ulvan (PSA3) on intestinal porcine epithelial cells J2 (IPEC-J2) was studied in the presence and absence of the enterotoxigenic bacterium Escherichia coli k99 strain (ETEC) as an in vitro challenge. The E.coli-k99 strain with adhesion factor F41 (41/32) was isolated from a mastitis-infected udder. In addition, a mixed extract prepared from vegatal orgin supplemented with phenolic compounds from vegetal origin, zinc and selenium (9631), and ZnO were tested to compare responses to NSP extracts. Gene expression was measured in IPEC-J2 cells after 2 and 6 hours of incubation using “whole genome” porcine microarrays (submission as a conference paper at the SEAGRICULTURE 2017 6th International Seaweed Conference).

Project description:Seaweeds in the upper intertidal zone experience extreme desiccation during low tide, followed by rapid rehydration during high tide. Porphyra sensu lato are typical upper intertidal seaweeds. Thus, it is valuable to investigate the adaptive conditions and mechanisms of seaweed to desiccation-rehydration stress.

Project description:The study of macroalgae capacity to acclimate and recover in environments contaminated with Cu and Cd could prove a promising way to understand the tolerance mechanisms of these seaweeds against different pollutants. This study used as a model organism Gracilaria tenuistipitata (Rhodophyta), a macroalga with economic and ecological importance. The partial transcriptome of G. tenuistipitata was profiled using cDNA microarrays in the sixth day of exposition to EC50 metals. Genes involved in Cu and Cd chronic stress belonging to various functional categories suffered shallow modifications. This possibly indicates that G. tenuistipitata would be in the acclimatization process. In addition, the expression of nine stress genes accompanied by analysis of the photosynthetic rate of seaweed to both metals in three different time frames was analyzed. Genetic variation linked to the mechanism of resistance of the algae, determined from EC50 culture conditions established for two metals, occurred in the early hours of treatment. It was found that G. tenuistipitata was able to accumulate these two metals and to resist and acclimate to the negative effects produced by these elements. The temporal analysis from the nine specific genes showed some specific transcriptional responses of the G. tenuistipitata, exposed to Cu and Cd. Three-condition experiment, control cells cultivated in seawater enriched with von Stosch solution vs. copper and cadmium (indepedent) treated cells. Biological replicates: 4 control, 2 copper treated, 2 cadmium treated. All independently grown and harvested. Four replicates per array.

Project description:The evolution of complex multicellularity has been one of the major transitions in the history of life. In contrast to simple multicellular aggregates of cells, it has evolved only in a handful of lineages, including the animals, embryophytes, red and brown algae and fungi. Despite being a key step towards the evolution of complex organisms, the evolutionary origins and the genetic underpinnings of complex multicellularity are incompletely known. We constructed a reference atlas of mushroom formation based on developmental transcriptome data of six species and comparisons of >200 whole genomes, to elucidate the core genetic program of complex multicellularity and fruiting body development in mushroom-forming fungi (Agaricomycetes). Nearly 300 conserved gene families and >70 functional groups contained developmentally regulated genes from five to six species, covering functions related to fungal cell wall (FCW) remodeling, targeted protein degradation, signal transduction, adhesion and small secreted proteins (including effector-like orphan genes). Several of these families, including F-box proteins, expansin-like proteins, protein kinases, and transcription factors, showed expansions in Agaricomycetes, with from which many convergently expandedwere identified in multicellular plants and/or animals too, assuming convergent solutions to genetic hurdles imposed by complex multicellularity among independently evolved lineages. This study provides a novel entry point to studying mushroom development and complex multicellularity in one of the largest clades of complex eukaryotic organisms.
