Project description:Because of severe abiotic limitations, Antarctic soils represent simplified ecosystems, where microorganisms are the principle drivers of nutrient cycling. This relative simplicity makes these ecosystems particularly vulnerable to perturbations, like global warming, and the Antarctic Peninsula is among the most rapidly warming regions on the planet. However, the consequences of the ongoing warming of Antarctica on microorganisms and the processes they mediate are unknown. Here, using 16S rRNA gene pyrosequencing and qPCR, we report a number of highly consistent changes in microbial community structure and abundance across very disparate sub-Antarctic and Antarctic environments following three years of experimental field warming (+ 0.5-2°C). Specifically, we found significant increases in the abundance of fungi and bacteria and in the Alphaproteobacteria-to-Acidobacteria ratio. These alterations were linked to a significant increase in soil respiration. Furthermore, the shifts toward generalist or opportunistic bacterial communities following warming weakened the linkage between bacterial diversity and functional diversity. Warming also increased the abundance of some organisms related to the N-cycle, detected as an increase in the relative abundance of nitrogenase genes via GeoChip microarray analyses. Our results demonstrate that soil microorganisms across a range of sub-Antarctic and Antarctic environments can respond consistently and rapidly to increasing temperatures, thereby potentially disrupting soil functioning. We conducted in situ warming experiments for three years using open-top chambers (OTCs) at one sub-Antarctic (Falkland Islands, 52ºS) and two Antarctic locations (Signy and Anchorage Islands, 60ºS and 67ºS respectively) (see Supplementary Fig. 1 for a map). OTCs increased annual soil temperature by an average of 0.8°C (at a depth of 5 cm), resulting in 8-43% increase in positive-degree days annually and a decrease in freeze-thaw cycle frequency by an average of 15 cycles per year (8). At each location, we included densely vegetated and bare fell-field soils in the experimental design for a total of six environments. Densely vegetated and bare environments represent two contrasting environments for Antarctic soil microorganisms, with large differences in terms of C and N inputs to soils. Massively parallel pyrosequencing (Roche 454 GS FLX Titanium) of 16S rRNA gene amplicons was used to follow bacterial diversity and community composition [GenBank Accession Numbers: HM641909-HM744649], and functional gene microarrays (GeoChip 2.0)(11) were used to assess changes in functional gene distribution. Bacterial and fungal communities were also quantified using real-time PCR.

Project description:The response of soil microbial community to climate warming through both function shift and composition reorganization may profoundly influence global nutrient cycles, leading to potential significant carbon release from the terrain to the atmosphere. Despite the observed carbon flux change in northern permafrost, it remains unclear how soil microbial community contributes to this ecosystem alteration. Here, we applied microarray-based GeoChip 4.0 to investigate the functional and compositional response of subsurface (15~25cm) soil microbial community under about one year’s artificial heating (+2°C) in the Carbon in Permafrost Experimental Heating Research site on Alaska’s moist acidic tundra. Statistical analyses of GeoChip signal intensities showed significant microbial function shift in AK samples. Detrended correspondence analysis and dissimilarity tests (MRPP and ANOSIM) indicated significant functional structure difference between the warmed and the control communities. ANOVA revealed that 60% of the 70 detected individual genes in carbon, nitrogen, phosphorous and sulfur cyclings were substantially increased (p<0.05) by heating. 18 out of 33 detected carbon degradation genes were more abundant in warming samples in AK site, regardless of the discrepancy of labile or recalcitrant C, indicating a high temperature sensitivity of carbon degradation genes in rich carbon pool environment. These results demonstrated a rapid response of northern permafrost soil microbial community to warming. Considering the large carbon storage in northern permafrost region, microbial activity in this region may cause dramatic positive feedback to climate change, which is important and necessary to be integrated into climate change models.

Project description:The bundle sheath cells (BSCs) layer – a presumed control point for radial transport of water and solutes between the vasculature and the leaf mesophyll cells (MCs) – is still largely understudied. Using isolated protoplasts, we found that 45% of the 90 genes differentially expressed in BSCs vs. MCs are membrane related and 20% are transport related, suggesting unique functionality of membrane transport in the BSCs, supported also by functional assays (electrophysiology and fluorescence imaging). A tight control of long distance transport is required for the optimization of the hydro-mineral homeostasis of organs in plants under fluctuating ambient conditions. The mechanism of ion selectivity and absorption from the xylem to the leaf is still poorly understood. The bundle sheath (BS), tightly enwrapping the leaf vasculature, has been suggested as a part of this mechanism, acting as a selective barrier which regulates the radial transport of water and solutes from the xylem to leaf cells. This suggestion relies on the anatomy, as well as on the recent physiological transport assays of the BS and its cells (BSCs). We hypothesized that the unique transport functionality of the BSCs is manifested in its transcriptome. To test this, we compared the transcriptomes of individually hand-picked protoplasts of GFP-labeled BSCs and non-labeled mesophyll cells (MCs) of Arabidopsis thaliana leaves. Indeed, in conformation of our hypothesis, 45% of the 90 genes differentially expressed in BSCs vs. MCs are membrane related and 20% are transport related, with the proton-pump AHA2 as a prominent example. Moreover, fluorescence imaging using the potentiometric dye (di-8 ANEPPS) revealed a more negative membrane potential of the BSCs protoplasts compared to those of MCs, and electrophysiological assays (patch-clamp) showed that the major, AKT2-like, membrane K+ conductances of BSCs and MCs had different voltage dependency ranges. Combined, these differences are compatible with an expected possibility of simultaneous but oppositely directed transmembrane K+ fluxes in BSCs and MCs in otherwise similar conditions.
