Project description:Giant panda are carnivorous bears which feed almost exclusively on plant biomass (i.e. bamboo). The potential contribution of its gut microbiome to lignocellulose degradation has been mostly investigated with cultivation-independent approaches. Recently, we reported on the first lab-scale cultivation of giant panda gut microbiomes and described their actual fermentation capacity. Fermentation of bamboo leaf using green dung resulted in a neutral pH, the main products being ethanol, lactate and H2. Fermentation of bamboo pith using yellow dung resulted in an acidic pH, the main product being lactate. Here, we cultivated giant panda gut microbiomes to test 1) the impact of mixed dung as inoculum; 2) the fermentation capacity of solid lignocellulose as opposed to organics-rich biofluids in the dung; 3) the artificial shift of pH from neutral to acidic on bamboo leaf fermentation. Our results indicate that i) gut microbiomes fermentation of solid lignocellulose contributes up to a maximum of 1/3 even in the presence of organics-rich biofluids; ii) alcohols are an important product of bamboo leaf fermentation at neutral pH; iii) aside hemicellulose, gut microbiomes may degrade plant cell membranes to produce glycerol; iv) pH, rather than portion of bamboo, ultimately determines fermentation profiles and gut microbiome assemblage.

Project description:In UV sexual systems, sex is determined during the haploid phase of the life cycle and males have a V chromosome whereas females have a U chromosome. Previous work in the model Ectocarpus revealed that the V chromosome has a dominant role in male sex determination and the female developmental program being a ‘default’ program, triggered in the absence of the male master sex determination gene(s). Here, we describe the identification of a genetically male giant kelp strain presenting phenotypic features typical of a female, despite lacking the U-specific region. The conversion to the female developmental program is however incomplete, because gametes of this feminised male are unable to produce the sperm-attracting pheromone lamoxiren. We identify the transcriptomic pathways underlying the male and female specific developmental programs and show that the phenotypic feminisation of the variant strain is associated with both feminisation and de-masculinisation of gene expression patterns. Importantly, the feminisation phenotype was associated with the dramatic downregulation of two V-specific genes including a candidate sex-determining gene on the V-specific region. Our results reveal the transcriptional changes associated with sexual differentiation in a UV system with extensive sexual dimorphism, disentangling the role of sex-linked genes and autosomal gene expression in the initiation of the male and female developmental programs. Overall, the data presented here imply that the U-specific region in the giant kelp is not required to initiate the female developmental program, but is critical to produce fully functional eggs, arguing against the idea that female is the ‘default’ sex in this species.

Project description:GCMS datasets for the soil depth manuscript
Abstract
Two factors that are well-known to influence soil microbiomes include the depth of the soil as well as the level of moisture. Previous works have demonstrated that climate change will increase the incidence of drought in soils, but it is unknown how fluctuations in moisture availability affect soil microbiome composition and functioning down the depth profile. Here, we investigated soil and wheatgrass rhizosphere microbiomes in a common field setting under four different irrigation regimes and three depths. We demonstrated that there is a significant interactive effect, where fluctuations in soil moisture more strongly influence soil microbiomes at the surface layer than in deeper layers, including for soil community composition, diversity, and for functional profiles. Meanwhile, in rhizosphere communities the influence of irrigation was similar across the different depths, although there were slight discrepancies between the two cultivars of wheatgrass used. The lessened response of deeper soil microbiomes to changes in irrigation may be due to higher incidence of slow-growing, stress-resistant microbes.

Project description:Kelp are the largest photosynthetic organisms in the ocean with tissue differentiation and complex life cycles. Other multicellular organisms with similar complexity such as plants and animals are well known to posses epigenetic mechanisms such as DNA methylation to control development and morphogenesis. Despite plant-like body plans and the presence of different life-cycle stages, the kelp species Saccharina japonica has only a very low level of DNA methylation, yet we have found strong evidence for differential methylation of regulatory elements and protein-coding genes which seem to contribute to the formation of life-cycle stages, tissue differentiation, growth and halogen metabolism. Thus, DNA methylation seems to play an important role in kelp, which has not been reported before.
