Project description:Vibrio species represent one of the most diverse genera of marine bacteria known for their ubiquitous presence in natural aquatic systems. Several members of this genus including Vibrio harveyi are receiving increasing attention lately because they are becoming a source of health problems, especially for some marine organisms widely used in sea food industry. To learn about adaptation changes triggered by V. harveyi during its long-term persistence at elevated temperatures, we studied adaptation of this marine bacterium in sea water microcosms at 30 oC that closely mimicks the upper limits of sea surface temperatures recorded around the globe.

Project description:Thermal adaptation in closely related virbios
| PRJNA325804 | ENA
Project description:Here, we investigate the genetic mechanisms that underlie thermal specialization of closely-related vibrios isolated from coastal water at the Beaufort Inlet (Beaufort, NC, USA). This location experiences large seasonal temperature fluctuations (annual range of ~20°C), and a clear seasonal shift in vibrio diversity has been observed (Yung et al. 2015). This previous study suggested that the mechanisms of thermal adaptation apparently differ based on evolutionary timescale: shifts in the temperature of maximal growth occur between deeply branching clades but the shape of the thermal performance curve changes on shorter time scales (Yung et al. 2015). The observed thermal specialization in vibrio populations over relatively short evolutionary time scales indicates that few genes or cellular processes may contribute to the differences in thermal performance between populations. In order to understand the molecular mechanisms that underlie adaptation to local thermal regimes in environmental vibrio populations, we employ genomic and transcriptomic approaches to examine transcriptomic changes that occur within strains grown at their thermal optima and under heat and cold stress. Moreover, we compare two closely-related strains with different laboratory thermal preferences to identify in situ evolutionary responses to different thermal environments in genome content and alleles as well as gene expression.

Project description:Osmotic changes are common challenges for marine microorganisms. Bacteria developed numerous ways of dealing with this stress, including reprogramming of global cellular processes, however, many molecular details were obtained only for the model bacteria. In this work we asked what is the basis of the adjustment to prolonged salinity challenges at the proteome level. The objects of our studies were three representatives of bacteria inhabiting various marine environments, Shewanella baltica, Vibrio harveyi and Aliivibrio fischeri. The proteomic studies were performed with bacteria cultivated in increased and decreased salinity, followed by proteolytic digestion of samples which were then subjected to liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry analysis. We show that bacteria adjust at all levels of their biological processes, from DNA topology through gene expression regulation and proteasome assembly, to transport and cellular metabolism. Finding that many similar adaptation strategies were observed for both, low and high salinity conditions, is particularly interesting. The results show that adaptation to salinity challenge involves accumulation of DNA-binding proteins and increased polyamine uptake, and we hypothesize that their function is to coat and protect the nucleoid to counteract adverse changes in the DNA topology due to ionic shifts.

Project description:Background: Ocean temperatures are projected to increase over the coming century, with dramatic consequences for the marine biosphere. Diatoms are important contributors to marine primary production and the ocean carbon cycle, yet the molecular mechanisms that regulate their acclimation and adaptation to temperature are poorly understood. Method: Here we use a transcriptomic approach to identify the molecular mechanisms associated with temperature acclimation and adaptation in closely related colder- and warmer-adapted diatom species. Results: We find contrasting patterns of differential expression at sub- and supra-optimal temperatures across the two species, which may be due to adaptive changes in baseline expression. Frontloaded and divested pathways indicate protein processing machinery, membrane structure, and the balance between temperature-independent photosynthesis and temperature-dependent metabolism are key elements of adaptation to temperature changes. Conclusions: Our findings suggest that transcriptional frontloading and divestment may provide a framework to interpret diatom acclimation and adaptation to temperature and success under future warming.

Project description:Microbial communities respond to temperature with physiological adaptation and compositional turnover. Whether thermal selection of enzymes explains marine microbiome plasticity in response to temperature remains unresolved. By quantifying the thermal behaviour of seven functionally-independent enzyme classes (esterase, extradiol dioxygenase, phosphatase, beta-galactosidase, nuclease, transaminase, and aldo-keto reductase) in native proteomes of marine sediment microbiomes from the Irish Sea to the southern Red Sea, we record a significant effect of the mean annual temperature (MAT) on enzyme’s response (R2, 0.51–0.80, p < 0.01 in all cases). Activity and stability profiles of 228 esterases and 5 extradiol dioxygenases from sediment and seawater across 70 locations worldwide (latitude 62.2°S–16°N, MAT –1.4ºC–29.5ºC) validate this thermal pattern. Modelling the esterase phase transition temperature as a measure of structural flexibility, confirm the observed relationship with MAT. Furthermore, when considering temperature variability in sites with non-significantly different MATs, the broadest range of enzyme thermal behaviour and the highest growth plasticity of the enriched heterotrophic bacteria occur in samples with the widest annual thermal variability. These results indicate that temperature-driven enzyme selection shapes microbiome thermal plasticity and that thermal variability finely tunes such processes and should be considered alongside MAT in forecasting microbial community thermal response

Project description:Thermal exposure of sessile marine animals inhabiting estuarine intertidal regions is a matter of serious concern. The Hong Kong oyster, Crassostrea hongkongensis is one of the dominant sessile inhabitants of marine intertidal region which undergoes large seasonal temperature fluctuations every year. The oyster has developed several adaptation mechanisms to cope with acute thermal stress. However, the genetic basis of these mechanisms remain largely unclear. To better understand how acute thermal exposure affects the biology of the oyster, two cDNA libraries obtained from the gill of oysters exposed to thermal stress and ambient temperature were sequenced using the Digital Gene Expression (DGE) tag profiling strategy. In total, 5.9 and 6.2 million reads were obtained for thermal stress and control libraries respectively, with approximately 74.25% and 75.02 % of the reads mapping to the C. hongkongensis reference sequence. A total of 605 differentially expressed transcripts could be detected in the thermal stress group as compared to the control group, of which 378 are up-regulated and 227 are down-regulated. Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analysis indicated that these Differentially Expressed Genes (DEGs) were enriched with a broad spectrum of biological processes and pathways, including those associated with chaperones, antioxidants, immunity, apoptosis and cytoskeletal reorganization. Among these significantly enriched pathways, protein processing in the endoplasmic reticulum was the most affected metabolic pathway, which plays an important role in the unfolded protein response (UPR) and ER-associated degradation (ERAD) processes. Our results demonstrate the complex multi-modal cellular response to thermal stress in C. hongkongensis.

Project description:Vibrio parahaemolyticus is a Gram-negative marine bacterium. Strain RIMD 2210633, the wild type strain of the organism, causes acute gastroenteritis in humans. Human intestinal factor bile often affects the global gene regulation in some species of enteropathogenic bacteria. To determine the genes in V. parahaemolyticus that respond to bile, we investigated the differences in the transcriptomes of the wild type strain and the vtrA-null strain grown in Luria-Bertani medium cultivated with or without 0.04% crude bile. The vtrA gene encodes the previously identified T3SS2 regulator. Our goal is to demonstrate bile regulon controlled by VtrA in V. parahaemolyticus.
