    New Horizons The Microbial Universe of the Global Ocean BIGELOW LABORATORY FOR OCEAN SCIENCES 2012-13 ANNUAL REPORT BIGELOW LABORATORY FOR OCEAN SCIENCES • ANNUAL REPORT 2012–13 1 “Without global ocean color satellite data, humanity loses its capacity to take Earth’s pulse and to explore its unseen world. The fragility of the living Earth and its oceans has been noted by astronaut Sally Ride, who speaks of the changes in land, oceans, and atmosphere systems as witnessed from space, and the challenge that a changing climate presents to our beloved Earth. It is our duty to provide a long-term surveillance system for the Earth, not only to understand and monitor the Earth’s changing climate, but to enable the next generations of students to make new discoveries in our ocean gardens, as well as explore similar features on other planets.” —Dr. Charles S. Yentsch Bigelow Laboratory Founder 1927–2012 2 NEW HORIZONS: THE MICROBIAL UNIVERSE OF THE GLOBAL OCEAN Welcoming the Future A Message from the Chairman of the Board igelow Laboratory has just finished an exceptional and transformative period, a time that has witnessed the accomplishment of an array of Bprojects that will take the organization to new levels of achievement. The most obvious of these has been the completion of the $32 million Bigelow Ocean Science and Education Campus in East Boothbay. Shortly following the dedication of the new facilities in December, all of Bigelow Laboratory’s management, scientists, and staff were on board and operational on the new site, enabling a higher level of scientific and operational efficiency and effectiveness than ever before.

  • Protist Phylogeny and the High-Level Classification of Protozoa
    Europ. J. Protistol. 39, 338–348 (2003) © Urban & Fischer Verlag http://www.urbanfischer.de/journals/ejp Protist phylogeny and the high-level classification of Protozoa Thomas Cavalier-Smith Department of Zoology, University of Oxford, South Parks Road, Oxford, OX1 3PS, UK; E-mail: [email protected] Received 1 September 2003; 29 September 2003. Accepted: 29 September 2003 Protist large-scale phylogeny is briefly reviewed and a revised higher classification of the kingdom Pro- tozoa into 11 phyla presented. Complementary gene fusions reveal a fundamental bifurcation among eu- karyotes between two major clades: the ancestrally uniciliate (often unicentriolar) unikonts and the an- cestrally biciliate bikonts, which undergo ciliary transformation by converting a younger anterior cilium into a dissimilar older posterior cilium. Unikonts comprise the ancestrally unikont protozoan phylum Amoebozoa and the opisthokonts (kingdom Animalia, phylum Choanozoa, their sisters or ancestors; and kingdom Fungi). They share a derived triple-gene fusion, absent from bikonts. Bikonts contrastingly share a derived gene fusion between dihydrofolate reductase and thymidylate synthase and include plants and all other protists, comprising the protozoan infrakingdoms Rhizaria [phyla Cercozoa and Re- taria (Radiozoa, Foraminifera)] and Excavata (phyla Loukozoa, Metamonada, Euglenozoa, Percolozoa), plus the kingdom Plantae [Viridaeplantae, Rhodophyta (sisters); Glaucophyta], the chromalveolate clade, and the protozoan phylum Apusozoa (Thecomonadea, Diphylleida). Chromalveolates comprise kingdom Chromista (Cryptista, Heterokonta, Haptophyta) and the protozoan infrakingdom Alveolata [phyla Cilio- phora and Miozoa (= Protalveolata, Dinozoa, Apicomplexa)], which diverged from a common ancestor that enslaved a red alga and evolved novel plastid protein-targeting machinery via the host rough ER and the enslaved algal plasma membrane (periplastid membrane).

However, despite its size and ubiquity, the phylogeny of the Cercozoa Rhizaria remains unclear as morphological variability between cercozoan species and ambiguity in molecular analyses, Phylogeny including phylogenomic approaches, have produced ambiguous results and raised doubts about the monophyly Phylogenomics of the group. Here we sought to resolve these ambiguities using a 161-gene phylogenetic dataset with data from Single-cell transcriptomics newly available genomes and deeply sequenced transcriptomes, including three new transcriptomes from Aurigamonas solis, Abollifer prolabens, and a novel species, Lapot gusevi n. gen. n. sp. Our phylogenomic analysis strongly supported a monophyletic Cercozoa, and approximately-unbiased tests rejected the paraphyletic topologies observed in previous studies. The transcriptome of L. gusevi represents the first transcriptomic data from the large and recently characterized Aquavolonidae-Treumulida-'Novel Clade 12′ group, and phyloge- nomics supported its position as sister to the cercozoan subphylum, Endomyxa. These results provide insights into the phylogeny of the Cercozoa and the Rhizaria as a whole.

Previous work has divided eukaryotic diversity into a small number of high-level ‘supergroups’, many of which receive strong support in phylogenomic analyses. However, the abundance of data in phylogenomic analyses can lead to highly supported but incorrect relationships due to systematic phylogenetic error. Further, the paucity of major eukaryotic lineages (19 or fewer) included in these genomic studies may exaggerate systematic error and reduces power to evaluate hypotheses.

Here we focused on a unique model for endosymbiosis research, the photosynthetic amoeba Paulinella micropora KR01 (Rhizaria) that underwent a more recent independent primary endosymbiosis about 124 Mya. A total of 149 Gbp of PacBio and 19 Gbp of Illumina data were used to generate the draft assembly that comprises 7,048 contigs with N50=143,028 bp and a total length of 707 Mbp.

Although these protists have been the topic of research since Ernst Haeckel's systematic investigations of samples from the H. M. S. Challenger Expedition, many aspects of their phylogeny and systematics remain poorly resolved. Part of the problem is that the criteria used in systematics of these groups until now has emphasized morphological elements which may be similar due to convergence rather than common ancestry.
