Project description:Prochlorococcus is an obligate marine microorganism which are dominant autotroph in tropical and subtropical central oceans. However, what is the low salinity boundary and how Prochlorococcus would response to low salinity exposure is still unknown. In this study, we first tested the growing salinity range of two Prochlorococcus strains, NATL1A and MED4, and then compared the global transcriptome of their low salinity acclimated cells and cells growing in normal seawater salinity. We found that MED4 could be acclimated in the lowest salinity of 25% and NATL1A could be acclimated in the lowest salinity of 28%. Measurement of the effective quantum yield of PSII photochemistry (Fv/Fm) indicated that both strains were stressed when growing in salinity lower than 34%. The transcriptomic response of NATL1A and MED4 were approximately different, with much more genes having changed transcript abundance in NATL1A than in MED4. To cope with low salinity, NATL1A downregulated the transcript of most genes involved in translation, ribosomal structure and biogenesis, while MED4 upregulated those genes. Moreover, low salinity acclimated NATL1A cells suppressed ATP-producing genes and induced the expression of photosynthesis related genes, while low salinity acclimated MED4 upregulated ATP-producing genes and downregulated photosynthesis related genes. These results indicate that the response to low salinity stress of different Prochlorococcus strains could be distinct. The study provided the first glimpse into the growing salinity range of Prochlorococcus cells and their global gene expression changes due to low salinity stress.

Project description:Background: Salinity is an important abiotic stress that influences the physiological and metabolic activity, reproduction, growth and development of marine fish. It has been suggested that half-smooth tongue sole (Cynoglossus semilaevis), a euryhaline fish species, use a large amount of energy to maintain osmotic pressure balance when exposed to fluctuations in salinity. To delineate the molecular response of C. semilaevis to different levels of salinity, we performed RNA-seq analysis of the liver to identify the genes and molecular and biological processes involved in responding to salinity change. Results: The present study yielded 330.4 million clean reads, of which 83.9% were successfully mapped to the reference genome of C. semilaevis. One hundred twenty-eight differentially expressed genes (DEGs), including 43 up-regulated genes and 85 down-regulated genes, were identified. These DEGs were highly represented in metabolic pathways, steroid biosynthesis, terpenoid backbone biosynthesis, butanoate metabolism, glycerolipid metabolism and the 2-oxocarboxylic acid metabolism pathway. In addition, genes involved in metabolism, osmoregulation and ion transport, signal transduction, immune response and stress response, cytoskeleton remodeling, and apoptosis were affected during acclimation to low salinity. Genes acat2, fdps, hmgcr, hmgcs1, mvk, pmvk, ebp, lss, dhcr7, and dhcr24 were up-regulated and abat, ddc, acy1 were down-regulated in metabolic pathways. Genes aqp10 and slc6a6 were down-regulated in osmoregulation and ion transport. Genes abat, fdps, hmgcs1, mvk, pmvk and dhcr7 were first reported to be associated with salinity adaptation in teleosts. Conclusions: Our results revealed that metabolic pathways, especially lipid metabolism were important for salinity adaptation. The candidate genes identified from this study provide a basis for further studies to investigate the molecular mechanism of salinity adaptation and transcriptional plasticity in marine fish.

Project description:Prochlorococcus genomes harbor a new type of mobile genetic elements named tycheposons. To study the effects on environmental stress on the gene expression and induction of tycheposons, we subjugated cultures of Prochlorococcus strain MIT0604 containing 7 such elements to treatments with mitomycin C and UV stress.

Project description:Prochlorococcus contributes significantly to ocean primary productivity. The link between primary productivity and iron in specific ocean regions is well established and iron limitation of Prochlorococcus cell division rates in these regions has been shown. However, the extent of ecotypic variation in iron metabolism among Prochlorococcus and the molecular basis for differences is not understood. Here, we examine the growth and transcriptional response of Prochlorococcus strains, MED4 and MIT9313, to changing iron concentrations. During steady state, MIT9313 sustains growth at an order-of-magnitude lower iron concentration than MED4. To explore this difference, we measured the whole-genome transcriptional response of each strain to abrupt iron starvation and rescue. Only four of the 1159 orthologs of MED4 and MIT9313 were differentially expressed in response to iron in both strains. However, in each strain, the expression of over a hundred additional genes changed, many of which are in labile genomic regions, suggesting a role for lateral gene transfer in establishing diversity of iron metabolism among Prochlorococcus. Furthermore, we found that MED4 lacks three genes near the iron-deficiency-induced gene (idiA) that are present and induced by iron stress in MIT9313. These genes are interesting targets for studying the adaptation of natural Prochlorococcus assemblages to local iron conditions as they show more diversity than other genomic regions in environmental metagenomic databases.

Project description:Low salinity is one of the main factors limiting the distribution and survival of marine species. As estuarine species, Crassostrea hongkongensis can live in relative low salinity. Through Illumina sequencing, we generated two transcriptomes with samples taken from gills of oysters exposed to the low salinity seawater versus the optimal seawater. By RNAseq technology, we found 13550 up-regulation genes and 9914 down-regulation genes that may regulate osmotic stress in C. hongkongensis. As blasted by GO annotation and KEGG pathway mapping, functional annotation of the genes recovered diverse biological functions and processes. The genes regulated significantly were dominated in structural molecule activity, intracellular,cytoplasm protein metabolism, biosynthesis,cell and transcription regulator activity according to GO annotation. The study aimed to compare the expression data of the two transcriptomes to provide some useful insights into signal transduction pathways in oysters and offer a number of candidate genes as potential markers of tolerance to hypoosmotic stress for oysters. In addition, the characterization of C. hongkongensis transcriptome will facilitate research into biological processes underlying physiological adaptations to hypoosmotic shock for marine invertebrates. Twelve oysters were exposed in low salinity (8‰) seawater and in optimal salinity (25‰) seawater,respectively. Gills from six oysters in each condition were balanced mixed respectively. The transcriptomes of two samples were generated by deep sequencing, using Illumina HiSeq2000

Project description:Carbon fixation plays a central role in determining cellular redox poise, increasingly understood to be a key parameter in cyanobacterial physiology. In the cyanobacterium Prochlorococcus--—the most abundant phototroph in the oligotrophic oceans--—the carbon-concentrating mechanism (CCM) is reduced to the bare essentials. Given the ability of Prochlorococcus populations to grow under a wide range of oxygen concentrations in the ocean, we wondered how carbon and oxygen physiology intersect in this minimal phototroph. We monitored genome-wide transcription in cells shocked with acute limitation of CO2, O2, or both. O2 limitation produced much smaller transcriptional changes than the broad suppression seen under CO2 limitation and CO2/O2 co-limitation. Strikingly, the transcriptional responses evoked by both CO2 limitation conditions were initially similar to that previously seen in high light stress, but at later timepoints we observed O2-dependent recovery of photosynthesis-related transcripts. These results suggest that oxygen plays a protective role in Prochlorococcus when carbon fixation is not a sufficient sink for light energy. Two biological replicates of timecourses under four conditions: medium bubbled with air (control) or three experimental gases (low CO2; low O2; or low CO2 and low O2)

Project description:In estuaries and coastal areas, salinity regimes vary with river discharge, seawater evaporation, morphology of the coastal waterways, and dynamics of marine water mixing. Therefore, microalgae have to respond to salinity variations at various time scales, from daily to annual cycling. They might also adapt to physical alteration that might induce loss of connectivity and enclosure of water bodies. Here we integrate physiological-based assays, morphological plasticity with functional genomics approach to examine the regulatory change that occur during the acclimation to salinity in an estuary diatom, Thalassiosira weissflogii. We found that this diatom respond to salinity (i.e. 21, 28 and 35 psu) with minute adjustments of its physiology (i.e., carbon and silicon metabolisms, pigments concentration and photosynthetic parameters). In contrast after short- (~ 5 generations) or long-term (~ 700 generations) culture at the different salinity we found a large transcriptome reprogramming. With most of the genes being down-regulated in long-term, and only a few genes in common between short and long term experiments.
