  • Spaceflight Imposes Numerous Adaptive Challenges for Terrestrial Life
    Astrobiology Science Conference 2017 (LPI Contrib. No. 1965) 3032.pdf Transcriptomic changes in an animal-bacterial symbiosis under modeled microgravity conditions. Giorgio Casaburi1, Irina Goncharenko-Foster1 and Jamie S. Foster1, 1Department of Microbiology and Cell Science, University of Florida, Space Life Science Lab, Merritt Island, FL, USA. Introduction: Spaceflight imposes numerous adaptive challenges for terrestrial life. The reduction in gravity, or microgravity, represents a novel environ- ment that can disrupt homeostasis of many physiologi- cal processes. Additionally, it is becoming increasingly clear that an organism’s microbiome is critical for host health and examining its resiliency in microgravity represents a new frontier for space biology research. In this study, we examine the impact of microgravity on the interactions between the squid Euprymna scolopes and its beneficial symbiont Vibrio fischeri, which form a highly specific binary mutualism. First, animals in- oculated with V. fischeri aboard the space shuttle showed effective colonization of the host light organ, the site of the symbiosis, during space flight. Second, RNA-Seq analysis of squid exposed to modeled mi- crogravity conditions exhibited extensive differential gene expression in the presence and absence of the symbiotic partner. Transcriptomic analyses revealed in the absence of the symbiont during modeled micro- gravity there was an enrichment of genes and pathways associated with the innate immune and oxidative stress response. The results suggest that V. fischeri may help modulate the host stress responses under modeled mi- crogravity. This study provides a window into the adaptive responses that the host animal and its symbi- ont use during modeled microgravity. .

DOI: 10.1111/ivb.12223 Vascular architecture in the bacteriogenic light organ of Euprymna tasmanica (Cephalopoda: Sepiolidae) Anthony J. Patelunas and Michele K. Nishiguchia Department of Biology, New Mexico State University, Las Cruces, New Mexico 88003-8001, USA Abstract. Symbiosis between southern dumpling squid, Euprymna tasmanica (Cephalopoda: Sepiolidae), and its luminescent symbiont, the bacterium Vibrio fischeri, provides an experi- mentally tractable system to examine interactions between the eukaryotic host and its bacte- rial partner. Luminescence emitted by the symbiotic bacteria provides light for the squid in a behavior termed “counter-illumination,” which allows the squid to mask its shadow amidst downwelling moonlight. Although this association is beneficial, light generated from the bacteria requires large quantities of oxygen to maintain this energy-consuming reaction. Therefore, we examined the vascular network within the light organ of juveniles of E. tas- manica with and without V. fischeri. Vessel type, diameter, and location of vessels were measured. Although differences between symbiotic and aposymbiotic squid demonstrated that the presence of V. fischeri does not significantly influence the extent of vascular branch- ing at early stages of symbiotic development, these finding do provide an atlas of blood ves- sel distribution in the organ. Thus, these results provide a framework to understand how beneficial bacteria influence the development of a eukaryotic closed vascular network and provide insight to the evolutionary developmental dynamics that form during mutualistic interactions.

  • Glossary for Hawaiian and Other Polynesian Terms
    Glossary for Hawaiian and Other Polynesian Terms Pronunciation Hawaiian vowels are as in English: a, e, i, o, and u. But with respect to pronunciation, the letter “a” is pronounced as the soft ah sound in papa; “e” as the ā sound in play; “i” as the ē sound in need; “o” as used in bowl; and “u” as the ew sound in tune. Diacritical marks are used to indicate stress on particular vowels, and as glottal stops. Te macron (called kahakō in Hawaiian) is used to stress and elongate any of the vowel sounds. For example, the ā sound in pāhoe- hoe (sheet lava) is stressed and lengthened, as in pahh-ho-ay-ho-ay. Te reverse apostrophe (called an okina in Hawaiian) is used as a glot- tal stop, as in the closed throat sound that should precede formation of the word ‘ahi (pronounced ah-hee), or between sounds, as in Punalu‘u (pronounced poo-nah-lew-ew). Certain vowel combinations (diph- thongs) are also pronounced in a manner dissimilar to the way they are pronounced in English, with stress on the frst vowel. For instance, the “ou” sound in Hawaiian is pronounced with stress on the o, as in pouli © Te Editor(s) (if applicable) and Te Author(s), under exclusive license 247 to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2019 E.

Japetus Steenstrup (1857) Abstract. The subfamily Sepiolinae (Mollusca: Cephalopoda: Sepiolidae), currently containing the genera Sepiola Leach, 1817, Euprymna Steenstrup, 1887, Inioteuthis Verrill, 1881, Rondeletiola Naef, 1921 and Sepietta Naef, 1912, is characterized by the hectocotylization of the left dorsal arm, i.e., its transformation into a copulatory organ thanks to modifications of sucker/pedicel elements. The hectocotylus morphology varies to a great extent across genera and species. In particular, one to several pedicels in its proximal third lose their sucker and become highly and diversely modified in shape to constitute a copulatory apparatus. An evolutionary gradient was observed in the copulatory apparatus morphology, from the simple modification into a papilla of just one pedicel from the third element of the ventral sucker row (some nominal species of Euprymna) to a quite complex structure involving several variously modified pedicels from both the ventral and dorsal sucker rows (Inioteuthis).

  • Immune Protein Orchestrates Daily Rhythm of Squid-Bacteria Symbiotic Relationship 19 October 2020, by Marcie Grabowski
    Immune protein orchestrates daily rhythm of squid-bacteria symbiotic relationship 19 October 2020, by Marcie Grabowski National Academy of Sciences, could provide important clues on factors affecting human microbiome rhythms, as the MIF protein is also found in abundance in mammalian symbiotic tissues. To survive, the nocturnal Hawaiian bobtail squid depends on V. fischeri, which gives it the ability to mimic moonlight on the surface of the ocean and deceive monk seals and other predators, as it forages for food. The symbiotic bacteria also require nutrition, especially at night when they are more numerous and their light is required for the squid's camouflage. The research team, led by Eric Koch, who was a graduate researcher at the Pacific Biosciences Research Center (PBRC) in the UH Manoa School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology (SOEST) at the time of the study, determined the squid regulates production of MIF as a way to A 63x magnification image showing the 4-week-old light control the movement of specialized immune cells, organ during the day showing EsMIF (magenta) called hemocytes, which provide chitin for bacteria surrounding the crypt spaces.

Ruby* University of Wisconsin—Madison, Department of Medical Microbiology and Immunology, 1550 Linden Drive, Madison, Wisconsin 53706-1521 Received 3 August 2008/Accepted 27 October 2008 We resolved the intraspecific diversity of Vibrio fischeri, the bioluminescent symbiont of the Hawaiian sepiolid squid Euprymna scolopes, at two previously unexplored morphological and geographical scales. These scales ranged from submillimeter regions within the host light organ to the several kilometers encompassing Downloaded from two host populations around Oahu. To facilitate this effort, we employed both novel and standard genetic and phenotypic assays of light-organ symbiont populations. A V. fischeri-specific fingerprinting method and five phenotypic assays were used to gauge the genetic richness of V. fischeri populations; these methods confirmed that the symbiont population present in each adult host’s light organ is polyclonal. Upon statistical analysis of these genetic and phenotypic population data, we concluded that the characteristics of symbiotic populations were more similar within individual host populations than between the two distinct Oahu populations of E. scolopes, providing evidence that local geographic symbiont population structure exists. Finally, to better understand the genesis of symbiont diversity within host light organs, the process of symbiosis initiation in newly hatched juvenile squid was examined both experimentally and by mathematical modeling.
