Illuminating the key biological processes during the blooming period of a marine dinoflagellate by metaproteomics

ABSTRACT: Dinoflagellate blooms are natural phenomena that have drawn global attention due to their huge negative impacts on marine ecosystems, mariculture and human health. Although the understanding of dinoflagellate blooms has been significantly improved over the past half century, little is known about the underlying mechanisms sustaining the high biomass growth rate during the bloom period which is paradoxically characterized by low dissolved CO2 and inorganic nutrients. Here, we compared the metaproteomes of non-bloom, mid-bloom and late-bloom cells of a marine dinoflagellate Prorocentrum donghaiense in the coastal East China Sea, to understand the underlying mechanisms sustaining high biomass growth rate under the typically low CO2 and inorganic nutrient conditions.

Multi-omics analysis reveals concerted molecular responses to heat stress in a “red tide” dinoflagellate

Project description:Harmful algal blooms are induced largely by nutrient enrichment common in warm waters. An increasingly frequent phenomenon is the “red tide”: blooms of dinoflagellate microalgae that accumulate toxins lethal to other organisms in high doses. Here, we present the de novo assembled genome (~4.75 Gbp) of Prorocentrum cordatum, a globally abundant, bloom-forming dinoflagellate, and the associated transcriptome, proteome, and metabolome data from axenic cultures to elucidate the microalgal molecular responses to heat stress. We discovered, in a high-G+C genome with long introns and extensive genetic duplication, a complementary mechanism between RNA editing and exon usage that regulates dynamic expression and functional diversity of genes and proteins, and metabolic profiles that reflect reduced capacities in photosynthesis, central metabolism, and protein synthesis. These results based on multi-omics evidence demonstrate the genomic hallmark of a bloom-forming dinoflagellate, and how the complex gene structures combined with multi-level transcriptional regulation underpin concerted heat-stress responses.

Elucidating colony bloom formation mechanism of a harmful alga Phaeocystis globosa (Prymnesiophyceae) using metaproteomics

Project description:Phaeocystis is a globally distributed Prymnesiophyceae genus and usually forms massive harmful colony blooms, which impact marine ecosystem, mariculture, human health, and even threaten coastal nuclear power plant safety. However, the mechanisms behind the colony formation from the solitary cells remain poorly understood. Here, we investigated metabolic processes of both solitary and non-flagellated colonial cells of Phaeocystis globosa at different colonial bloom stages using a metaproteomic approach. Temperature was significantly correlated with Phaeocystis colony bloom formation, and the flagellated motile solitary cells with abundant flagellum-associated proteins, such as tubulin and dynein, were the exclusive cellular morphotype at the solitary cell stage featured with temperatures ≥ 21℃. When the temperature decreased to <21℃, tiny colonies appeared and the flagellum-associated proteins were identified lower abundances in both solitary and non-flagellated colonial cells, while proteins involved in biosynthesis, chain polymerization and aggregation of glycosaminoglycan (GAG), a key constituent of gelatinous matrix, were identified higher abundances, indicating the central role of active GAG biosynthesis during the colony formation. Furthermore, light utilization, carbon fixation, nitrogen assimilation, and amino acid and protein synthesis were also enhanced to provide sufficient energy and substrates for GAG biosynthesis. This study highlighted that temperature induced re-allocation of energy and substances toward GAG biosynthesis is essential for colony bloom formation of P. globosa.

Proteome analyses of marine particle-associated microbes

Project description:Marine microalgae (phytoplankton) mediate almost half of the worldwide photosynthetic carbon dioxide fixation and therefore play a pivotal role in global carbon cycling, most prominently during massive phytoplankton blooms. Phytoplankton biomass consists of considerable proportions of polysaccharides, substantial parts of which are rapidly remineralized by heterotrophic bacteria. We analyzed the diversity, activity and functional potential of such polysaccharide-degrading bacteria in different size fractions during a diverse spring phytoplankton bloom at Helgoland Roads (southern North Sea) at high temporal resolution using microscopic, physicochemical, biodiversity, metagenome and metaproteome analyses.

Alpha-glucans from bacterial necromass indicate an intra-population loop within the marine carbon cycle

Project description:Phytoplankton blooms provoke bacterioplankton blooms, from which bacterial biomass (necromass) is released via increased zooplankton grazing and viral lysis. While bacterial consumption of algal biomass during blooms is wellstudied, little is known about the concurrent recycling of these substantial amounts of bacterial necromass. We demonstrate that bacterial biomass, such as bacterial alpha-glucan storage polysaccharides, generated from the consumption of algal organic matter, is reused and thus itself a major bacterial carbon source in vitro and during a diatom-dominated bloom. We highlight conserved enzymes and binding proteins of dominant bloom-responder clades that are presumably involved in the recycling of bacterial alpha-glucan by members of the bacterial community. We furthermore demonstrate that the corresponding protein machineries can be specifically induced by extracted alpha-glucan-rich bacterial polysaccharide extracts. This recycling of bacterial necromass likely constitutes a large-scale intra-population energy conservation mechanism that keeps substantial amounts of carbon in a dedicated part of the microbial loop.

Viral infection of algal blooms leaves a unique metabolic footprint on the dissolved organic matter in the ocean

Project description:Algal blooms are hotspots of primary production in the ocean, forming the basis of the marine food web and fueling the dissolved organic matter (DOM) pool. Marine viruses are key players in controlling algal bloom demise, thereby diverting algal biomass from higher trophic levels to the DOM pool, a process termed the ‘viral shunt’. To decode the metabolic footprint of the ‘viral shunt’ in the marine environment, we induced a bloom of Emiliania huxleyi and followed its succession using an untargeted exometabolomics approach. Here, we show that algal bloom succession induces dynamic changes in the exometabolic landscape. We discovered a set of novel chlorine-iodine-containing metabolites that were induced by viral infection and released during bloom demise. These metabolites were further detected in virus-infected oceanic E. huxleyi blooms. Therefore, we propose that halogenation with both chlorine and iodine is a distinct hallmark of the virus-induced DOM of E. huxleyi, providing insights into the metabolic consequences of the ‘viral shunt’ for marine DOM.

Microbial processing of jellyfish detritus in the ocean

Project description:When jellyfish blooms decay, sinking jellyfish detrital organic matter (jelly-OM), rich in proteins and characterized by a low C : N ratio, becomes a significant source of OM for marine microorganisms. Yet, the key players and the process of microbial jelly-OM degradation and the consequences for marine ecosystems remain unclear. We simulated the scenario potentially experienced by the coastal pelagic microbiome after the decay of a bloom of the cosmopolitan Aurelia aurita s.l.. We show that about half of the jelly-OM is instantly available as dissolved organic matter and thus, exclusively and readily accessible to microbes. During a typical decay of an A. aurita bloom in the northern Adriatic Sea about 100 mg of jelly-OM L-1 becomes available, about 44 µmol L-1 as dissolved organic carbon (DOC), 13 µmol L-1 as total dissolved nitrogen, 11 µmol L-1 of total hydrolysable dissolved amino acids (THDAA) and 0.6 µmol L-1 PO43-. The labile jelly-OM was degraded within 1.5 days (> 98% of proteins, ~ 70% of THDAA (and within ~97% of DFAA) and entire DOC pool) by a consortium of Pseudoalteromonas, Alteromonas and Vibrio. These bacteria accounted for > 90% of all metabolically active jelly-OM degraders, exhibiting high bacterial growth efficiencies. This implies that a major fraction of the detrital jelly-OM is rapidly incorporated into biomass by opportunistic bacteria. Microbial processing of jelly-OM resulted in the accumulation of DON compounds (within some DFAA species, but mostly DCAA) and inorganic nutrients, with possible implications for biogeochemical cycles.

De novo transcriptome of the cosmopolitan dinoflagellate Amphidinium carterae to identify genes with biotechnological interests

Project description:Dinoflagellates are phytoplanktonic organisms found in both freshwater and marine habitats. They are often studied because related to harmful algal blooms responsible for impacts on ecosystem functioning, economic damages for aquaculture and fishery industries and/or deleterious impacts for human health. In addition they are also known to produce bioactive compounds, such as for the treatment of cancer or beneficial effects for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. The dinoflagellate Amphidinium sp. is a cosmopolitan dinoflagellate species known to produce both cytotoxic and beneficial compounds. However, several studies reported that environmental changes (e.g. nutrient starvation, UV radiation and ocean acidification) may alter this production. The aim of this study was to sequence the full transcriptome of the dinoflagellate Amphidinium carterae in both nitrogen- starved and -repleted culturing conditions (1) to evaluated its response to nitrogen starvation, (2) to look for possible polyketide synthases (PKSs), involved in the synthesis of various compounds, in this studied clone, (3) if present, to evaluate if nutrient starvation can influence PKS activity, (4) to test strain cytotoxicity on human cells and (5) to look for other possible enzymes/proteins of biotechnological interest.

First viruses infecting the marine diatom Guinardia delicatula

Project description:The marine diatom Guinardia delicatula is a cosmopolitan species that dominates seasonal blooms in the English Channel and the North Sea. Several eukaryotic parasites are known to induce the mortality of this key-stone species. Here, we report the isolation and the characterization of the first viruses that infect G. delicatula. Viruses were isolated from the Western English Channel (SOMLIT-ASTAN station) during the late summer bloom decline of G. delicatula. A combination of laboratory approaches revealed that these lytic viruses (GdelRNAV) are small untailed particles of 35-38 nm in diameter that replicated in the host cytoplasm where both unordered particles and crystalline arrays were formed. GdelRNAV displayed a linear single-stranded RNA genome of ~9 kb, including two open reading frames encoding for replication and structural polyproteins. Phylogenetic relationships based on the RNA-dependent-RNA-polymerase gene marker showed that GdelRNAV were new members of the Bacillarnavirus, a monophyletic genus belonging to the order Picornavirales. GdelRNAV were specific to several strains of G. delicatula, they were produced rapidly (< 12h) and in numbers (9.34 x 104 virions per host cell). We recorded a substantial delay (72 h) between virions release and host cell lysis. Our analysis points to variable viral susceptibilities of the host during the early exponential growth phase. Interestingly, we consistently failed to isolate viruses during spring and early summer while G. delicatula developed rapid and massive blooms. While our study suggests that viruses do contribute to the decline of G. delicatula late summer bloom, they may not be the primary mortality agents during the remaining blooms at SOMLIT-ASTAN. Future studies should focus on the relative contribution of the viral and eukaryotic pathogens to the control of Guinardia blooms to understand the fate of these prominent organisms in marine systems.
