Project description:Thermophilic AnMBR at high salinity
| PRJEB38467 | ENA
Project description:Ambient salinity is one of the crucial abiotic factors that poses substantial impacts on fish growth, development and reproduction. Greater amberjack (Seriola dumerili) is of high economic value because, and its reproduction and survival are sensitive to water salinity. To better understand the molecular adaptive mechanism to salinity fluctuations in greater amberjack, we performed comparative transcriptome analysis for gill and kidney between the optimum salinity (30 ppt, CK) and undesired regimes (10 and 40 ppt). For the gill, the skeletal development was provoked upon either hypo- or hyper-salinity stimuli, and the development of pronephros, as well as vascular endothelial cells and cortisol-mediated mitochondria-rich cell, was activated in response to the salinity alterations in kidney. These enhancements may encourage the maintenance of the gill and kidney structures and alleviate the salinity-induced damage. Ion channels NKCC1 and CFTR and the transporters for ammonium and other substances were highly upregulated in the gills and kidney, respectively, which act important roles in the osmoregulation of greater amberjack. More important, undesirable alterations of ambient salinity were found to pose adverse impacts on the immune function of greater amberjack, which may increase the risk of pathogen infection and reduce the security and yield of aquaculture of greater amberjack. In addition, deviation from the optimum salinity condition may result in undesirable uptake and accumulation of environmental toxins in greater amberjack, which attracts further attention to the food safety. Collectively, these novel findings advance our knowledge on adaptative mechanisms to ambient salinity oscillations in greater amberjack and provide a theoretical guidance for the optimal breeding mode for the aquaculture of greater amberjack.

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:Populations that tolerate extreme environmental conditions with frequent fluctuations can give valuable insights into physiological limits and adaptation. In some estuarine and marine ecosystems, organisms must adapt to extreme and fluctuating salinities, but not much is known how varying salinities impact local adaptation across a wide geographic range. We used eight geographically and genetically divergent populations of the intertidal copepod Tigriopus californicus to test if northern populations have greater tolerance to low salinity stresses, as they experience greater precipitation and less evaporation. We used a common garden experiment approach and exposed all populations to acute low (1, 3ppt) and high (110, 130ppt) salinities for 24 hours, and a fluctuation between baseline salinity and moderate low (7ppt) and high (80ppt) salinities over 49 hours. We also performed RNA-sequencing at several time points during the fluctuation between baseline and 7ppt to understand the molecular basis of divergence between two populations with differing physiological responses. We present these novel findings: 1) acute low salinity conditions caused more deaths than high salinity, 2) molecular processes that elevate proline levels increased in 7ppt, which contrasts with other T. californicus studies that mainly associated accumulation of proline with hyperosmotic stress. We also find that 3) tolerance to a salinity fluctuation did not follow a latitudinal trend, but was instead governed by a complex interplay of factors including population and the duration of salinity stress. This highlights the importance of including a wider variety of environmental conditions in empirical studies to understand local adaptation.

Project description:Freshwater salinization is an escalating global environmental issue that threatens freshwater biodiversity, including fish populations. This study aims to uncover the molecular basis of salinity physiological responses in a non-native minnow species (Phoxinus septimaniae x P. dragarum) exposed to saline effluents from potash mines in the Llobregat River, Barcelona, Spain. Employing high-throughput mRNA sequencing and differential gene expression analyses, brain, gills, and liver tissues collected from fish at two stations (upstream and downstream of saline effluent discharge) were examined. Salinization markedly influenced global gene expression profiles, with the brain exhibiting the most differentially expressed genes, emphasizing its unique sensitivity to salinity fluctuations. Pathway analyses revealed the expected enrichment of ion transport and osmoregulation pathways across all tissues. Furthermore, tissue-specific pathways associated with stress, reproduction, growth, immune responses, methylation, and neurological development were identified in the context of salinization. Rigorous validation of RNA-seq data through quantitative PCR (qPCR) underscored the robustness and consistency of our findings across platforms. This investigation unveils intricate molecular mechanisms steering salinity physiological response in non-native minnows confronting diverse environmental stressors. This comprehensive analysis sheds light on the underlying genetic and physiological mechanisms governing fish physiological response in salinity-stressed environments, offering essential knowledge for the conservation and management of freshwater ecosystems facing salinization.

Project description:The salinity gradient separating marine and freshwater environments is a major ecological divide, and the mechanisms by which most organisms adapt to new salinity environments are poorly understood. Diatoms are a lineage of ancestrally marine microalgae that have repeatedly colonized and diversified in freshwaters. Cyclotella cryptica is a euryhaline diatom that naturally tolerates a broad range of salinities, thus providing a powerful system for understanding the genomic mechanisms for mitigating and acclimating to low salinity. To understand how diatoms mitigate acute hypoosmotic stress, we abruptly shifted C. cryptica from seawater to freshwater and performed transcriptional profiling at 8 time points across 10 hours. We found substantial remodeling of the transcriptome, with over half of the genome differentially expressed in at least one time point. The peak response occurred within 1 hour, with strong repression of genes involved in functions related to cell growth and osmolyte production, and strong induction of genes implicated in stress defense such as scavenging reactive oxygen species and maintaining osmotic balance. Notably, transcripts largely returned to baseline levels within 4–10 hours, with growth resuming shortly thereafter, suggesting that gene expression dynamics may be useful for predicting acclimation. Moreover, comparison to a study of expression profiling following months-long acclimation of C. cryptica to freshwater revealed little overlap between the genes and processes differentially expressed in cells exposed to acute stress versus fully acclimated conditions. Altogether, this study highlights the power of time-resolved transcriptomics to reveal fundamental insights into how cells dynamically respond to an acute environmental shift and provides new insights into how diatoms mitigate natural salinity fluctuations and have successfully diversified across freshwater habitats worldwide.
