However, little is known about how short-term changes in environmental conditions may influence microbial and metazoan communities. Microbial processes and para - meters may be used as sensitive indicators of eutrophication. We address the hypothesis that an increase in the concentration of nutrients (in an experiment simulating eutrophication) will affect species richness and abundance of microorganisms and small metazoans and will cause changes in food web structure in different types of peatbogs. The experiments were performed in a Sphag- num peatland and a carbonate fen. Four experimental treatments were established (control and fertilised: +P, +N, P+N). An increase in habitat fertility was found to modify the taxonomic compo- sition and functioning of microbial communities. This was reflected in a decrease in the species richness of testate amoebae and a substantial increase in the abundance of bacteria, flagellates and ciliates in both types of peatbogs. A better understanding of which parameters regulate microbial populations in peatbogs is critical for more accurate prediction of how peatbogs will respond to global change or anthropogenic disturbances.

Read Full License Page 1/27 Abstract Background Over the last decade, intensity and frequency of Sargassum blooms in the Caribbean Sea and central Atlantic Ocean have dramatically increased, causing growing ecological, social and economic concern throughout the entire Caribbean region. These golden-brown tides form an ecosystem that maintains life for a large number of associated species, and their circulation across the Atlantic Ocean support the displacement and maybe the settlement of various species, especially microorganisms. To comprehensively identify the micro- and meiofauna associated to Sargassum, one hundred samples were collected during the 2018 tide events that were the largest ever recorded. Results We investigated the composition and the existence of specic species in three compartments, namely, Sargassum at tide sites, in the surrounding seawater, and in inland seaweed storage sites. Metabarcoding data revealed shifts between compartments in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic communities, and large differences for eukaryotes especially bryozoans, nematodes and ciliates.

  • Biologia Celular – Cell Biology
    Biologia Celular – Cell Biology BC001 - Structural Basis of the Interaction of a Trypanosoma cruzi Surface Molecule Implicated in Oral Infection with Host Cells and Gastric Mucin CORTEZ, C.*1; YOSHIDA, N.1; BAHIA, D.1; SOBREIRA, T.2 1.UNIFESP, SÃO PAULO, SP, BRASIL; 2.SINCROTRON, CAMPINAS, SP, BRASIL. e-mail:[email protected] Host cell invasion and dissemination within the host are hallmarks of virulence for many pathogenic microorganisms. As concerns Trypanosoma cruzi that causes Chagas disease, the insect vector-derived metacyclic trypomastigotes (MT) initiate infection by invading host cells, and later blood trypomastigotes disseminate to diverse organs and tissues. Studies with MT generated in vitro and tissue culture-derived trypomastigotes (TCT), as counterparts of insect- borne and bloodstream parasites, have implicated members of the gp85/trans-sialidase superfamily, MT gp82 and TCT Tc85-11, in cell invasion and interaction with host factors. Here we analyzed the gp82 structure/function characteristics and compared them with those previously reported for Tc85-11. One of the gp82 sequences identified as a cell binding site consisted of an alpha-helix, which connects the N-terminal beta-propeller domain to the C- terminal beta-sandwich domain where the second binding site is nested. In the gp82 structure model, both sites were exposed at the surface. Unlike gp82, the Tc85-11 cell adhesion sites are located in the N-terminal beta-propeller region. The gp82 sequence corresponding to the epitope for a monoclonal antibody that inhibits MT entry into target cells was exposed on the surface, upstream and contiguous to the alpha-helix. Located downstream and close to the alpha-helix was the gp82 gastric mucin binding site, which plays a central role in oral T.

  • Deep Sequencing of Subseafloor Eukaryotic Rrna Reveals Active Fungi Across Marine Subsurface Provinces
    Deep Sequencing of Subseafloor Eukaryotic rRNA Reveals Active Fungi across Marine Subsurface Provinces William Orsi1*, Jennifer F. Biddle2, Virginia Edgcomb1 1 Department of Geology and Geophysics, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, Woods Hole, Massachusetts, United States of America, 2 College of Earth, Ocean, and Environment, University of Delaware, Lewes, Delaware, United States of America Abstract The deep marine subsurface is a vast habitat for microbial life where cells may live on geologic timescales. Because DNA in sediments may be preserved on long timescales, ribosomal RNA (rRNA) is suggested to be a proxy for the active fraction of a microbial community in the subsurface. During an investigation of eukaryotic 18S rRNA by amplicon pyrosequencing, unique profiles of Fungi were found across a range of marine subsurface provinces including ridge flanks, continental margins, and abyssal plains. Subseafloor fungal populations exhibit statistically significant correlations with total organic carbon (TOC), nitrate, sulfide, and dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC). These correlations are supported by terminal restriction length polymorphism (TRFLP) analyses of fungal rRNA. Geochemical correlations with fungal pyrosequencing and TRFLP data from this geographically broad sample set suggests environmental selection of active Fungi in the marine subsurface. Within the same dataset, ancient rRNA signatures were recovered from plants and diatoms in marine sediments ranging from 0.03 to 2.7 million years old, suggesting that rRNA from some eukaryotic taxa may be much more stable than previously considered in the marine subsurface.

With the birth of novel genomics/ bioinformatics techniques and the increasing interest in microbiome studies, a further advance of taxonomic discipline appears not only possible but highly desirable. The present work proposes a new approach to modern taxonomy, consisting in the inclusion of novel descriptors in the organism characterization: (1) the presence of associated microorganisms (e.g.: symbionts, microbiome), (2) the mitochondrial genome of the host, (3) the symbiont genome. This approach aims to provide a deeper comprehension of the evolutionary/ecological dimensions of organisms since their very frst description. Particularly interesting, are those complexes formed by the host plus associated microorganisms, that in the present study we refer to as “holobionts”. We illustrate this approach through the description of the ciliate Euplotes vanleeuwenhoeki sp. nov. and its bacterial endosymbiont “Candidatus Pinguicoccus supinus” gen. nov., sp. nov. The endosymbiont possesses an extremely reduced genome (~ 163 kbp); intriguingly, this suggests a high integration between host and symbiont. Taxonomy is the science of defning and naming groups of biological organisms based on shared characteristics and, more recently, based on evolutionary relationships. Classical taxonomy was exclusively based on morpho- logical-comparative techniques requiring a very high specialization on specifc taxa.

  • Evolution of Hydrogenosomes in Anaerobic Ciliates
    Evolution of hydrogenosomes in anaerobic ciliates William H. Lewis Doctor of Philosophy Institute for Cell and Molecular Biosciences March 2017 i Abstract Within ciliates (protozoa of the phylum Ciliophora), anaerobic species are widespread and typically possess organelles which produce H2 and ATP, called hydrogenosomes. Hydrogenosomes are mitochondrial homologues and are a product of evolutionary convergence, having been found in wide-ranging and diverse anaerobic eukaryotes. Ciliates seem to have evolved hydrogenosomes on multiple occasions from the mitochondria of their aerobic ancestors. The hydrogenosomes of the ciliate Nyctotherus ovalis were studied in detail previously but little is known about the hydrogenosomes from other ciliate species. In the present study seven species of ciliate, Cyclidium porcatum, Metopus contortus, Metopus es, Metopus striatus, Nyctotherus ovalis, Plagiopyla frontata and Trimyema sp. were cultured and their hydrogenosomes were investigated using genomic and transcriptomic sequencing from whole genome amplifications from single and small numbers of isolated cells. The data were then used to reconstruct putative hydrogenosome metabolic pathways. Components of these pathways are typically encoded by the ciliate nuclear genomes but Nyctotherus ovalis, Metopus contortus, Metopus es, Metopus striatus and Cyclidium porcatum have also retained mitochondrial (now hydrogenosomal) genomes which were sequenced for the first time. The most complete of these genomes were from Nyctotherus ovalis and Metopus contortus.
