Project description:Changes in soil properties (e.g. pH, organic matter content, granulometry) can influence chemical toxicity to organisms and act alone as stressors. Previous studies on Enchytraeus albidus showed that changes in soil properties caused effects on reproduction and avoidance behavior and also oxidative stress. In addition, results at the transcritptomic level indicated changes in gene expression profile due to soil properties changes. In this study, E. albidus was exposed to modified versions of the artificial standard OECD soil (different pH, OM and clay content) in different exposure times (2, 4 and 8 days). The gene expression profile was characterized using a class comparison statistical analysis. Results indicated that the transcriptional response was time dependent, with different genes being affected at different time points. Results also showed some genes (and biological functions) being affected in a soil specific way.

Project description:Many trees form ectomycorrhizal symbiosis with fungi. During symbiosis, the tree roots supply sugar to the fungi in exchange for nitrogen, and this process is critical for the nitrogen and carbon cycles in forest ecosystems. However, the extents to which ectomycorrhizal fungi can liberate nitrogen and modify the soil organic matter and the mechanisms by which they do so remain unclear since they have lost many enzymes for litter decomposition that were present in their free-living, saprotrophic ancestors. Using time-series spectroscopy and transcriptomics, we examined the ability of two ectomycorrhizal fungi from two independently evolved ectomycorrhizal lineages to mobilize soil organic nitrogen. Both species oxidized the organic matter and accessed the organic nitrogen. The expression of those events was controlled by the availability of glucose and inorganic nitrogen. Despite those similarities, the decomposition mechanisms, including the type of genes involved as well as the patterns of their expression, differed markedly between the two species. Our results suggest that in agreement with their diverse evolutionary origins, ectomycorrhizal fungi use different decomposition mechanisms to access organic nitrogen entrapped in soil organic matter. The timing and magnitude of the expression of the decomposition activity can be controlled by the below-ground nitrogen quality and the above-ground carbon supply.

Project description:It has long been recognized that species occupy a specific ecological niche within their ecosystem. The ecological niche is defined as the number of conditions and resources that limit species distribution. Within their ecological niche, species do not exist in a single physiological state but in a number of states we call the Natural Operating Range. In this paper we link ecological niche theory to physiological ecology by measuring gene expression levels of collembolans exposed to various natural conditions. The soil-dwelling collembolan Folsomia candida was exposed to 26 natural soils with different soil characteristics (soil type, land use, practice, etc). The animals were exposed for two days and gene expression levels were measured. The main factor found to regulate gene expression was the soil type (sand or clay), in which 18.5% of the measured genes were differentially expressed. Gene Ontology analysis showed animals exposed to sandy soils experience general stress, affecting cell homeostasis and replication. Multivariate analysis linking soil chemical data to gene expression data revealed that soil fertility influences gene expression. Land-use and practice had less influence on gene expression; only forest soils showed a different expression pattern. A variation in gene expression variation analysis showed overall low variance in gene expression. The large difference in response to soil type was caused by the soil physicochemical properties where F. candida experiences clay soils and sandy soils as very different from each other. This collembolan prefers fertile soils with high organic matter content, as soil fertility was found to correlate with gene expression and animals exposed to sandy soils (which, in general, have lower organic matter content) experience more general stress. Finally, we conclude that there is no such thing as a fixed physiological state for animals in their ecological niche and the boundary between the ecological niche and a stressed state depends on the genes/pathways investigated.

Results also showed some genes (and biological functions) being affected in a soil specific way. Fluorescently labelled cDNA, from enchytraeids exposed during 2, 4 and 8 days OECD standard soil (Cy3) and to the different exposure conditions (modified OECD soil) (Cy5), was synthesized for microarray analysis and hybridizations were performed. After scanning (Agilent Microarray Scanner from Agilent Technologies), spots were identified and ratios quantified using Quantarray (Packard Biochip Technologies). Statistical analysis of the microarrays was performed using BRB Array Tools version 3.8.1 Stable Release (http://linus.nci.nih.gov/BRB-ArrayTools.html). After background subtraction, the replicated spots within each array were averaged, and microarrays were normalized using loess method (Smith and Speed, 2003). Statistical class comparison between groups of arrays was performed between each exposure condition and the respective “control” (exposure in OECD standard soil, for each time of exposure) using two-sample T-test and 95% of confidence level for the assessment of differentially expressed genes.

Test animals were exposed to 26 natural soils + 2 control soils. 4 biological replicates per soil containing 25 grams of soil and 30 23-day-old animals per replicate, RNA was isolated after two days of exposure. for the micro-array hybridization design we made use of an interwoven loop design. from the four replicates per soil two were labeled with Cy3 and 2 with Cy5. It was made sure that now two replicates of the same soil were ever hybridized against the same soil.

Project description:The spread of antibiotic resistance genes (ARG) into agricultural soils, products, and foods severely limits the use of organic fertilizers in agriculture. In this study, experimental land plots were fertilized, sown, and harvested for two consecutive agricultural cycles using either mineral or three types of organic fertilizers: sewage sludge, pig slurry, or composted organic fraction of municipal solid waste. The analysis of the relative abundances of more than 200,000 ASV (Amplicon Sequence Variants) allowed the identification of a small, but significant (<10%) overlap between soil and fertilizer microbiomes, particularly in soils sampled the same day of the harvest (post-harvest soils). Loads of clinically relevant ARG were significantly higher (up to 100 fold) in fertilized soils relative to the initial soil. The highest increases corresponded to post-harvest soils treated with organic fertilizers, and they correlated with the extend of the contribution of fertilizers to the soil microbiome. Edible products (lettuce and radish) showed low, but measurable loads of ARG (sul1 for lettuces and radish, tetM for lettuces). These loads were minimal in mineral fertilized soils, and strongly dependent on the type of fertilizer. We concluded that at least part of the observed increase on ARG loads in soils and foodstuffs were actual contributions from the fertilizer microbiomes. Thus, we propose that adequate waste management and good pharmacological and veterinarian practices may significantly reduce the potential health risk posed by the presence of ARG in agricultural soils and plant products.

Project description:The melting of permafrost and its potential impact on greenhouse gas emissions is a major concern in the context of global warming. The fate of the carbon trapped in permafrost will largely depend on soil physico-chemical characteristics, among which are the quality and quantity of organic matter, pH and water content, and on microbial community composition. In this study, we used microarrays and real-time PCR (qPCR) targeting 16S rRNA genes to characterize the bacterial communities in three different soil types representative of various Arctic settings. The microbiological data were linked to soil physico-chemical characteristics and CO2 production rates. Microarray results indicated that soil characteristics, and especially the soil pH, were important parameters in structuring the bacterial communities at the genera/species levels. Shifts in community structure were also visible at the phyla/class levels, with the soil CO2 production rate being positively correlated to the relative abundance of the Alphaproteobacteria, Bacteroidetes, and Betaproteobacteria. These results indicate that CO2 production in Arctic soils does not only depend on the environmental conditions, but also on the presence of specific groups of bacteria that have the capacity to actively degrade soil carbon. Three different soil types from the Canadian high Arctic were sampled at two depths within the active layer of soil and at two sampling dates (winter and summer conditions), for a total of 20 samples.

Project description:There is inadequate understanding of the environmental fate and effects of engineered nanoparticles, including nanoceria. Also, knowledge about the influence of environmental factors on the bioavailability of these particles and resulting impacts on the nutritional quality of crops is limited. Alterations in mineral and macromolecular composition of some grains and fruits under nanoceria exposure have been reported recently; however, the cellular mechanisms associated with the effects are unknown. Here, we show that the impact of nanoceria at 62.5 to 500 mg/kg soil on kidney bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) productivity and seed quality are influenced by soil organic matter content. Seeds obtained from plants exposed to nanoceria at 125 mg/kg showed unique and contrasting response in terms of nutritional quality under varying soil organic matter content. Additionally, quantitative proteomic analysis provides evidence for dose-dependent down-regulation of some major proteins associated with nutrient storage and carbohydrate metabolism, including phaseolin and lectins in the exposed seeds. This study suggests that nCeO2 exposure negatively impacts the nutritional quality of kidney beans. This altered seed quality may have significant implications for food production and human health.
