Project description:Salt marshes provide many key ecosystem services that have tremendous ecological and economic value. One critical service is the removal of fixed nitrogen from coastal waters, which limits the negative effects of eutrophication resulting from increased nutrient supply. Nutrient enrichment of salt marsh sediments results in higher rates of nitrogen cycling and, commonly, a concurrent increase in the flux of nitrous oxide, an important greenhouse gas. Little is known, however, regarding controls on the microbial communities that contribute to nitrous oxide fluxes in marsh sediments. To address this disconnect, we generated microbial community profiles as well as directly assayed nitrogen cycling genes that encode the enzymes responsible for overall nitrous oxide flux from salt marsh sediments. We hypothesized that communities of microbes responsible for nitrogen transformations will be structured by nitrogen availability. Taxa that respond positively to high nitrogen inputs may be responsible for the elevated rates of nitrogen cycling processes measured in fertilized sediments. Our data show that, with the exception of ammonia-oxidizing archaea, the community composition of organisms responsible for production and consumption of nitrous oxide was altered under nutrient enrichment. These results suggest that elevated rates of nitrous oxide production and consumption are the result of changes in community structure, not simply changes in microbial activity.

Project description:Reforestation is effective in restoring ecosystem functions and enhancing ecosystem services of degraded land. The three most commonly employed reforestation methods of natural reforestation, artificial reforestation with native Masson pine (Pinus massoniana Lamb.), and introduced slash pine (Pinus elliottii Engelm.) plantations were equally successful in biomass yield in southern China. However, it is not known if soil ecosystem functions, such as nitrogen (N) cycling, are also successfully restored. Here, we employed a functional microarray to illustrate soil N cycling. The composition and interactions of N-cycling genes in soils varied significantly with reforestation method. Natural reforestation had more superior organization of N-cycling genes, and higher functional potential (abundance of ammonification, denitrification, assimilatory, and dissimilatory nitrate reduction to ammonium genes) in soils, providing molecular insight into the effects of reforestation.

Project description:Cellulose is the most abundant component of plant litter, which is critical for terrestrial carbon cycling. Nonetheless, it remains unknown how climate changes affect cellulose-decomposing microorganisms. Here, we carried out a multi-year litterbag experiment to examine cellulose decomposition undergoing +3°C warming in an Oklahoma tallgrass prairie, USA. GeoChip 5.0M was employed to detect microbial functional genes.

Project description:We performed genome-wide transcriptome and proteome analyses of the Fusarium fujikuroi wild type and ΔAREA and ΔAREB mutants under nitrogen limitation and excess. Microarray analysis revealed that each transcription factor regulates a total set of about 4200 genes under nitrogen limiting conditions with an enrichment of genes belonging to functional classes of primary/secondary metabolism, transporters, cell defense/virulence and transcription. Under nitrogen excess, AreA is not active as a transcriptional regulator, while AreB affects expression of about 4400 genes. Both transcription factors regulate a common set of about 2100 genes and most of the time work together either as positive or as negative regulators. Our proteomics analysis identified 446 AreA-regulated and 386 AreB-regulated proteins at nitrogen limitation and 138 AreA-regulated and 447 AreB-regulated proteins at nitrogen excess, respectively. Comparison of the proteome and transcriptome data indicates that many post-transcriptional regulations are facilitated by both GATA-factors, for example on enzymes involved in the TCA and glyoxylate cycle and the main glutamate/glutamine cycling.
