Project description:Human activities are rapidly changing the structure and function of coastal marine ecosystems. Large-scale replacement of kelp forests and coral reefs with turf algal mats is resulting in homogenous habitats that have less ecological and human value. Ocean acidification has strong potential to substantially favour turf algae growth, which led us to examine the mechanisms that stabilise turf algal states. Here we show that ocean acidification promotes turf algae over corals and macroalgae, mediating new habitat conditions that create stabilising feedback loops (altered physicochemical environment and microbial community, and an inhibition of recruitment) capable of locking turf systems in place. Such feedbacks help explain why degraded coastal habitats persist after being initially pushed past the tipping point by global and local anthropogenic stressors. An understanding of the mechanisms that stabilise degraded coastal habitats can be incorporated into adaptive management to better protect the contribution of coastal systems to human wellbeing.

Project description:One-third of global CO2 fixation is mediated by eukaryotic algae. Nearly all algae enhance their carbon assimilation by operating a CO2 concentrating mechanism (CCM), built around a mysterious organelle called the pyrenoid. Here, we leveraged new tools to determine the localizations of 146 candidate CCM proteins in the model alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. Twelve of the tagged proteins localized to the pyrenoid in six distinct sub-pyrenoid localizations: matrix, membrane tubules, plates, a mesh layer, and two punctate layers. Many stromal proteins can access the pyrenoid matrix. The proteins with access to the matrix tend to be small, suggesting that the pyrenoid may show protein size selectivity. Contrary to current models, the carbonic anhydrase CAH6 is in the flagella. Affinity purification mass spectrometry of 38 CCM-related proteins reveals dozens of additional components, including novel Rubisco interacting proteins, photosystem I assembly factor candidates and inorganic carbon flux components. Together, our spatial interactome reveals new protein components, sub-compartments and biophysical characteristics that open doors to a detailed molecular characterization of the algal CCM.

Project description:Cyanobacteria are oxygenic photoautotrophs notable for their ability to utilize atmospheric CO2 as the major source of carbon. The prospect of using cyanobacteria in converting solar energy and high concentrations of CO2 (e.g. flue gas from coal power plants) efficiently into biomass and renewable energy sources is of interest to many research fields. In order to guide further advances in this area, a better understanding about the metabolic changes that occur under conditions of high CO2 is important. The objective of this study is to utilize genome-wide microarray expression profiling in the unicellular diazotrophic cyanobacterium Cyanothece 51142 grown in 8% CO2-enriched air and to determined the impact of high CO2 on cyanobacterial cell physiology and growth.

Project description:Sargassum is one of the most diverse brown algal genus with more than 150 known species, mostly benthic and few pelagic species. They contribute significantly to global primary production and serve as important habitat for wide range of marine organisms. Sargassum vulgare is one of the dominant habitat forming species along Mediterranean coast. Despite their huge ecological importance, it is relatively unknown how they will respond under future global climate change scenario. This work used de novo transcriptome sequencing approach to understand the molecular response of S. vulgare to chronic acidification at the shallow underwater volcanic CO2 vents off Ischia Island, Italy. Keywords: brown algae, Sargassum, de novo transcriptome, ocean acidification, CO2 vents.

Project description:P. tricornutum (Bacillariophyta, Pennatae, NEPCC640) was obtained from the Algal Center of the Institute of Oceanology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. The cells were cultured in a modified f/2 medium (Guillard, 1975) at 20 +/- 1C, and illuminated with 120 umol photon m-2 s-1 under a 12:12 light: dark cycle. Flasks were shaken by the researchers twice a day at the fixed times. Experiments were conducted in triplicate in 3L sterilized and acid-washed Erlenmeyer flask containing 2L medium. The equipment used in this study is similar to the ones used in previous ocean acidification research (Fu et al., 2007; Hutchins et al., 2007; Wu et al., 2010). Prior to inoculation, the mediums were treated by different CO2 concentrations. The low CO2 medium was bubbled with ambient air of about 400 ppmv (low CO2, LC) and the high CO2 medium was bubbled with pre-mixed air-CO2 mixtures (1000 ppmv; high CO2, HC) from a plant growth CO2 chamber (HP400G-D, Ruihua Instrument & Equipment Ltd, Wuhan, China) with a variation of less than 5%. Semi-continuous cultures were used to maintain the pH stability during P. tricornutum growth in the present study, All the cultures were diluted to 1x104 cells mL-1 with fresh medium and pre-acclimated to the desired CO2 level every 24 h to maintain an exponential growth phase and minimize pH fluctuations of the cells. Cultures were harvested after 8 months of semi-continuous incubation. Significant differences between the carbonate systems in different cultures.

Project description:Six weeks old Arabidopsis plants were transferred to a low CO2 (100 ppm) environment during 24 hours and compared to control plants kept under ambient CO2 conditions. Limited CO2 availability will cause higher rates of photorespiration and affect the plant redox homeostasis. We studied the transcriptomic impact of exposing plants to a lower CO2 environment to further eliculidate the signaling pathways during photorespiratory stress.

Project description:Unicellular algae, termed phytoplankton, greatly impact the marine environment by serving as the basis of marine food webs and by playing central roles in biogeochemical cycling of elements. The interactions between phytoplankton and heterotrophic bacteria affect the fitness of both partners. It is becoming increasingly understood that metabolic exchange determines the nature of such interactions, but the underlying molecular mechanisms remain underexplored. Here, we investigated the molecular and metabolic basis for the bacterial lifestyle switch, from coexistence to pathogenicity, in Sulfitobacter D7 during interactions with Emiliania huxleyi, a cosmopolitan bloom-forming phytoplankter. The interaction displays two distinct phases: first, there is a coexisting phase in which the alga grows exponentially and the bacterium grows as well. The interaction shifts to pathogenic when the virulence of Sulfitobacter D7 towards E. huxleyi is invoked upon exposure to high concentrations of algal dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP), which occurs when the algae reach stationary growth or when DMSP is applied exogenously to algae in exponential growth. We aimed to unravel the response of Sulfitobacter D7 to the pathogenicity-inducing compound, DMSP, and to different algae-derived infochemicals that affect the lifestyle of the bacterium. We grew Sulfitobacter D7 in conditioned media (CM) derived from algal cultures at the different growth phases, exponential and stationary (Exp-CM and Stat-CM, respectively), in which DMSP concentration is low and high, respectively. This enabled us to separate between different phases of the interaction with E. huxleyi, i.e., Exp-CM representing the coexisting phase, and Stat-CM representing the pathogenic phase. An additional pathogenicity-inducing treatment was Exp-CM supplemented with 100 µM DMSP (herein Exp-CM+DMSP). This condition mimicked co-cultures to which we added DMSP exogenously and thus induced Sulfitobacter D7 pathogenicity, which lead to death of exponentially growing E. huxleyi. In order to identify bacterial genes that are specifically responsive to DMSP, and are not affected by other algae-derived factors, we grew Sulfitobacter D7 in defined minimal medium (MM), lacking algal metabolites, supplemented with 100 µM DMSP (herein MM+DMSP), and examined the transcriptional response. After 24 h of Sulfitobacter D7 growth in all 5 media, triplicates were taken for transcriptomic analysis. Altogether, this experimental design allowed to expand our understanding on the bacterial response to DMSP, algal infochemicals and which of these are essential for coexistence and pathogenicity.
