Groundwater metabolome responds to recharge in fractured sedimentary strata

ABSTRACT:

Understanding biogeochemical conversions of dissolved organic matter (DOM) in aquifers is paramount for the effective management of groundwater supplies. On its passage through the critical zone, DOM is subject to biogeochemical conversions and therefore carries cross-habitat information useful for monitoring and predicting the stability of groundwater ecosystem services. Groundwater metabolomics assesses this information. However, challenges arise from insufficient knowledge on groundwater metabolite composition and dynamics, and the necessity to maintain analytical conditions for long-term monitoring. We explored fractured sedimentary bedrock by 5-year untargeted metabolomics monitoring for oxic perched and anoxic phreatic sites along a hillslope recharge area, to evaluate DOM as groundwater tracer. Dimension reduction by principal component analysis revealed that metabolome dissimilarities between distant wells coincide with transient cross-stratal flow indicated by groundwater levels and environmental tracers. The metabolome was highly variable lacking seasonal patterns, and did not segregate by geographic location of sampling wells thus ruling out surface vegetation or (agricultura) land use as driving factor. The metabolome time series provide detailed insights into subsurface responses to recharge dynamics. Metabolomics monitoring provides information on groundwater flows, and allows concluding about below ground ecology and water quality evolution, required to understand the impact of interannual wet-dry cycles.

Metaprotemic analysis of groundwaters from a coal tar-contaminated aquifer in South Glens Falls, NY: MW37, Shotgun 1

Project description:Deciphering the in situ activities of microorganisms is essential for understanding the biogeochemical processes occurring in complex environments. Here we used environmental metaproteomics to obtain information about the identity and activity of subsurface microbial populations in coal-tar-contaminated groundwater. The present study reports metaproteomic data showing high representation of Candidatus Methylomirabilis oxyfera in our study site’s subsurface microbial community. In addition, eight of the nine proteins of the n-damo pathway were identified—indicating that n-damo is an active process occurring in situ in this habitat.

Dissolved organic matter produced by Thalassiosira pseudonana

Project description:Phytoplankton are significant producers of dissolved organic matter (DOM) in marine ecosystems but the identity and dynamics of this DOM remain poorly constrained. Knowledge on the identity and dynamics of DOM are crucial for understanding the molecular-level reactions at the base of the global carbon cycle. Here we apply emerging analytical and computational tools from metabolomics to investigate the composition of DOM produced by the centric diatom Thalassiosira pseudonana. We assessed both intracellular metabolites within T. pseudonana (the endo-metabolome) and extracellular metabolites released by T. pseudonana (the exo-metabolome). The intracellular metabolites had a more variable composition than the extracellular metabolites. We putatively identified novel compounds not previously associated with T. pseudonana as well as compounds that have previously been identified within T. pseudonana’s metabolic capacity (e.g. dimethylsulfoniopropionate and degradation products of chitin). The resulting information will provide the basis for future experiments to assess the impact of T. pseudonana on the composition of dissolved organic matter in marine environments.

Open ocean and coastal strains of the N2-fixing cyanobacterium UCYN-A have distinct transcriptomes

Project description:Although N2 fixation can occur in free-living cyanobacteria, the unicellular endosymbiotic cyanobacterium Candidatus Atelocyanobacterium thalassa (UCYN-A) is considered to be a dominant N2-fixing species in marine ecosystems. Four UCYN-A sublineages are known from partial nitrogenase (nifH) gene sequences. However, few studies have investigated their habitat preferences and regulation by their respective hosts in open-ocean versus coastal environments. Here, we compared UCYN-A transcriptomes from oligotrophic open-ocean versus nutrient-rich coastal waters. UCYN-A1 metabolism was more impacted by habitat changes than UCYN-A2. However, across habitats and sublineages genes for nitrogen fixation and energy production were highly transcribed. Curiously these genes, critical to the symbiosis for the exchange of fixed nitrogen for fixed carbon, maintained the same schedule of diel expression across habitats and UCYN-A sublineages, including UCYN-A3 in the open-ocean transcriptomes. Our results undersore the importance of nitrogen fixation in UCYN-A symbioses across habitats, with consequences for community interaction and global biogeochemical cycles.

Chromatin topology and the timing of enhancer function at the HoxD locus [4C-seq]

Project description:In tetrapods, the HoxD gene cluster is critical for proper limb formation. In the emerging limb buds, different sub-groups of Hoxd genes respond first to a proximal regulatory signal, then to a distal signal that organizes digits. These two regulations emanate from the two TADs flanking HoxD, both containing a range of appropriate enhancer sequences. The telomeric TAD (T-DOM) contains several regulatory elements controlling Hoxd genes, initially in a temporal manner and then in the proximal presumptive forearm. T-DOM is divided into two sub-TADs separated by a CTCF-rich boundary defining two regulatory modules with most limb enhancers concentrated in the more distant module. In order to understand the importance of this regulatory topology to elicit a precise Hoxd gene transcription in time and space, we both deleted or inverted this sub-TAD boundary and eliminated the CTCF binding sites. These perturbations caused a time delay in gene activation, which was subsequently resumed. We then inverted the entire T-DOM to change the respective position of the two sub-TADs, which concomitantly introduced a TAD boundary between HoxD and the inverted T-DOM. This re-arrangement had a stronger impact on the early expression and flattened the Hoxd mRNAs levels. The latter effect was rescued by re-granting access to the enhancers upon deletion of the ectopic boundary. These results highlight the importance of regulatory topologies in the temporal control of gene expression. We also show that, along with time, the affinity of enhancers to find their natural target genes can overcome the presence of both a strong TAD border, and an unfavourable orientation of CTCF sites.

Microbial community functioning during plant litter decomposition

Project description:<p>Microbial life in soil is fueled by dissolved organic matter (DOM) that leaches from the litter layer. It is well known that decomposer communities adapt to the available litter source, but it remains unclear if they functionally compete or synergistically address different litter types. Therefore, we decomposed beech, oak, pine and grass litter from two geologically distinct sites in a lab-scale decomposition experiment. We performed a correlative network analysis on the results of direct infusion HR-MS DOM analysis and cross-validated functional predictions from 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing and with DOM and metaproteomic analyses. Here we show that many functions are redundantly distributed within decomposer communities and that their relative expression is rapidly optimized to address litter-specific properties. However, community changes are likely forced by antagonistic mechanisms as we identified several natural antibiotics in DOM. As a consequence, the decomposer community is specializing towards the litter source and the state of decomposition (community divergence) but showing similar litter metabolomes (metabolome convergence). Our multi-omics-based results highlight that DOM not only fuels microbial life, but it additionally holds meta-metabolomic information on the functioning of ecosystems.</p>

Transcription profiling of hornyhead turbot collected from polluted and clean coastal waters in southern California and zebrafish treated with estradiol and 4 nonylphenol

Project description:A custom multi-species microarray was used to study gene expression in wild hornyhead turbot (Pleuronichthys verticalis), collected from polluted and clean coastal waters in Southern California and in laboratory male zebrafish (Danio rerio) following exposure to estradiol and 4-nonylphenol. A multi-gene cross species microarray was fabricated as a diagnostic tool to screen the effects of environmental chemicals in fish, for which there is minimal genomic information. The microarray measurement of gene expression in zebrafish, which are phylogenetically distant from turbot, indicates that this multi-species microarray will be useful for measuring endocrine responses in Pleuronectiformes and other fish for which there is minimal genomic sequence information.

Drosophila SWR1 and NuA4 complexes originate from DOMINO splice isoforms [ChIP-seq]

Project description:Histone acetylation and deposition of H2A.Z variant are integral aspects of active transcription. In Drosophila, the single DOMINO chromatin regulator complex is thought to combine both activities via an unknown mechanism. Here we show that two alternative splice isoforms of the DOMINO nucleosome remodeling ATPase, DOM-A and DOM-B, directly specify two distinct multi-subunit complexes. Both complexes are necessary for transcriptional regulation but through different mechanisms. The DOM-B complex incorporates H2A.V (the fly ortholog of H2A.Z) genome-wide in an ATP-dependent manner, like the yeast SWR1 complex. The DOM-A complex, instead, functions as an ATP-independent histone acetyltransferase complex similar to the yeast NuA4, targeting lysine 12 of histone H4. Our work provides an instructive example of how different evolutionary strategies lead to similar functional separation.
