    Reverse methanogenesis: testing the hypothesis with environmental genomics (2004)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2004-09-09
    Description: Microbial methane consumption in anoxic sediments significantly impacts the global environment by reducing the flux of greenhouse gases from ocean to atmosphere. Despite its significance, the biological mechanisms controlling anaerobic methane oxidation are not well characterized. One current model suggests that relatives of methane-producing Archaea developed the capacity to reverse methanogenesis and thereby to consume methane to produce cellular carbon and energy. We report here a test of the "reverse-methanogenesis" hypothesis by genomic analyses of methane-oxidizing Archaea from deep-sea sediments. Our results show that nearly all genes typically associated with methane production are present in one specific group of archaeal methanotrophs. These genome-based observations support previous hypotheses and provide an informed foundation for metabolic modeling of anaerobic methane oxidation.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Hallam, Steven J -- Putnam, Nik -- Preston, Christina M -- Detter, John C -- Rokhsar, Daniel -- Richardson, Paul M -- DeLong, Edward F -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2004 Sep 3;305(5689):1457-62.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute, Moss Landing, CA 95064, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15353801" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Community genomics among stratified microbial assemblages in the ocean's interior (2006)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2006-01-28
    Description: Microbial life predominates in the ocean, yet little is known about its genomic variability, especially along the depth continuum. We report here genomic analyses of planktonic microbial communities in the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre, from the ocean's surface to near-sea floor depths. Sequence variation in microbial community genes reflected vertical zonation of taxonomic groups, functional gene repertoires, and metabolic potential. The distributional patterns of microbial genes suggested depth-variable community trends in carbon and energy metabolism, attachment and motility, gene mobility, and host-viral interactions. Comparative genomic analyses of stratified microbial communities have the potential to provide significant insight into higher-order community organization and dynamics.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉DeLong, Edward F -- Preston, Christina M -- Mincer, Tracy -- Rich, Virginia -- Hallam, Steven J -- Frigaard, Niels-Ulrik -- Martinez, Asuncion -- Sullivan, Matthew B -- Edwards, Robert -- Brito, Beltran Rodriguez -- Chisholm, Sallie W -- Karl, David M -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2006 Jan 27;311(5760):496-503.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, MA 02139, USA. delong@mit.edu〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16439655" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Potential for chemolithoautotrophy among ubiquitous bacteria lineages in the dark ocean (2011)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-09-03
    Description: Recent studies suggest that unidentified prokaryotes fix inorganic carbon at globally significant rates in the immense dark ocean. Using single-cell sorting and whole-genome amplification of prokaryotes from two subtropical gyres, we obtained genomic DNA from 738 cells representing most cosmopolitan lineages. Multiple cells of Deltaproteobacteria cluster SAR324, Gammaproteobacteria clusters ARCTIC96BD-19 and Agg47, and some Oceanospirillales from the lower mesopelagic contained ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase-oxygenase and sulfur oxidation genes. These results corroborated community DNA and RNA profiling from diverse geographic regions. The SAR324 genomes also suggested C(1) metabolism and a particle-associated life-style. Microautoradiography and fluorescence in situ hybridization confirmed bicarbonate uptake and particle association of SAR324 cells. Our study suggests potential chemolithoautotrophy in several uncultured Proteobacteria lineages that are ubiquitous in the dark oxygenated ocean and provides new perspective on carbon cycling in the ocean's largest habitat.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Swan, Brandon K -- Martinez-Garcia, Manuel -- Preston, Christina M -- Sczyrba, Alexander -- Woyke, Tanja -- Lamy, Dominique -- Reinthaler, Thomas -- Poulton, Nicole J -- Masland, E Dashiell P -- Gomez, Monica Lluesma -- Sieracki, Michael E -- DeLong, Edward F -- Herndl, Gerhard J -- Stepanauskas, Ramunas -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2011 Sep 2;333(6047):1296-300. doi: 10.1126/science.1203690.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Bigelow Laboratory for Ocean Sciences, 180 McKown Point Road, Post Office Box 475, West Boothbay Harbor, ME 04575, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21885783" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Transformation and binding of 13C and 14C-labelled atrazine in relation to straw decomposition in soil (2000)

    Notes: As a source of organic matter, crop residues affect the behaviour of pesticides in agricultural soils. The fate of [U-ring-13C] and [U-ring-14C] atrazine (6-chloro-N-ethyl-N-isopropyl-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-diamine) was investigated during laboratory incubation under controlled conditions in a loamy soil amended with wheat straw at two different states of decomposition: no preliminary decomposition or 6 months’ preliminary decomposition. After 3 months, non-extractable, so-called ‘bound’, 13C-atrazine residues were recovered in three particle-size fractions (〉 200, 50–200 and 〈 50 μm), and investigated with solid-state 13C-NMR spectroscopy. Parallel incubations with [U-ring-14C] atrazine were carried out to quantify the bound residues as well as the extractable and mineralized fractions. The effect of straw residues on atrazine behaviour depended on whether they had been previously decomposed or not. When straw was decomposed for 6 months prior to incubation, atrazine mineralization was enhanced to 50% of the initial 14C in contrast to 15% of the initial 14C in soil alone and soil amended with fresh straw. In parallel, atrazine bound residues were formed in greater amount representing up to 20% of the initial 14C. CP/MAS 13C-NMR on soil size fractions of soil–straw mixtures after incubation with 13C-atrazine showed that bound residues contained mostly triazinic C, corresponding to atrazine or primary metabolites. Non-humified organic materials recovered in size fractions 〉 200 and 50–200 μm contained significant amounts of bound residues, especially when straw was added to the soil. CP/MAS 13C-NMR analysis of humic acids obtained from 〈 50-μm fractions was difficult due to overlapping of the native carboxyl 13C signal with the 13C-atrazine signal.

    Notes: Summary Two humic and one fulvic acid were hydrolyzed with hot 6M HCl and a combination of 12M and 0.5M H2SO4. Effects of acid hydrolysis on the chemical structures of the humic materials were assessed by comparing liquid-state13C NMR spectra of hydrolyzed with those of unhydrolyzed humic substances. Hydrolysis with 6M HCl was found to be more efficient for removing ptoteinaceous materials and carbohydrates than was hydrolysis with 12M-0.5M H2SO4. The latter appeared to better preserve the structural integrity of the humic materials, especially in the lower aliphatic region (0–50 ppm). Hydrolysis with the two acids increased the aromaticity of the humic materials, in part by removing proteinaceous components and carbohydrates. It also lowered the CO2H content of two out of three humic preparations, probably because of acid decarboxylation. The data presented demonstrate the great potential of13C NMR spectroscopy for structural research on humic materials.

    Notes: Abstract Organic matter in the soil profile under a young Douglas-fir stand in coastal British Columbia was characterized by examining intact samples of fresh litterfall and organic horizons (LF, H), and fractions (floatables, humic acid [HA], fulvic acid [FA], humin [HU]) from the three mineral horizons (Ae, Bm, BC). Some 30–40% of the carbon in the mineral horizons was found in poorly-decomposed plant material floatable in water, a fraction whose characteristics changed little with depth, and which contained over 1% Fe. The proportion of soil C in HA plus FA was approximately 8%, but the ratio of C in FA/HA increased with depth. Solid-state 13C NMR spectra of litterfall, LH and H samples showed effects of decomposition, in particular a decrease in 0-alkyl C from litterfall to LH to H, and degradation of resolution from LF to H. For the mineral soil fractions, both floatables and de-ashed HU (‘HUd’ prepared by HCl/HF treatment) indicated high levels of the original plant biopolymers, including a large alkyl component. Solution 13C spectra of the HAs from mineral horizons showed little difference with depth, except that peaks due to lignin were more pronounced for the Bm HA. The NMR spectra of FAs were high in 0-alkyl and carboxyl C. Pyrolysis-field ionization mass spectrometry confirmed and extended the results from NMR and chemical analyses, in particular demonstrating the accumulation of suberin in some fractions and the leaching and decomposition of lignin components with increasing depth in the mineral horizons. The general features of the HA, FA and HUd from this forest soil, and the effects of decomposition and pedogenesis were similar to those widely found for agricultural and forest soils. However, the accumulation of suberin, and the leaching and decomposition of lignin are particularly associated with forest soils. The low proportion of soil C in HA and FA, and the high proportion in poorly decomposed, iron-rich plant fragments suggest that decomposition is somewhat limited at this site, which is classified as having low fertility. The high accumulations of alkyl C from suberin may also indicate, or contribute to inhibition of decomposition.

    Notes: Abstract Decomposition is influenced by a wide array of factors including macroclimate, microclimate, soil biota, soil nutrients, substrate piece size and substrate quality. To separate the influence of some of these factors a 10-year study, the Canadian Intersite Decomposition Experiment, was established in 1992 to measure the decay of 11 standard litter types on a range of forest types at 21 sites across Canada. As part of the study we analysed the initial elemental contents (N, P, S, K, Ca, Mg) and carbon (C) fractions (extractables, cellulose, hemicellulose, lignin) by13C NMR and wet chemical proximate analysis in a total of 37 primarily foliar litter types representative of the range of species found at the different CIDET sites. Litter types especially non-conifer species varied greatly in their qualities. Principal component analyses showed that the litter types could be distinguished by the elemental macronutrient contents through the ratio of N+P+K:S, by proximate chemical analyses through the ratio of water soluble:acid fractions, and by NMR through the ratio of O-alkyl:alkyl C. Litter quality data was used in three simple models of litter decay to predict how the mass loss of the different litter types could vary. Two models using a linear or single exponential decay equation and litter lignin and N content predicted a 2–5 fold difference in total mass loss for the different litter types. A third model using a summed exponential decay equation for three chemical fractions and a ligno-cellulose index predicted that for all but one litter type, variation in mass loss between types would be less than a 20%.

    The effect of copper applications on the movement of copper and other elements in organic soils (1984)

    Notes: Abstract Copper concentrations should be maintained at 100 ppm (gg Cu g−1 dry soil) in the surface layers of undecomposed peat soils, and 400 ppm in humified muck soils. The Cu supports plant nutrition, and inhibits enzymes that degrade the organic soils (Histosols). The required or extravagant applications of Cu may threaten groundwater quality if the Cu, or elements displaced by the Cu, moves downwards in the soils. To test this, powdered CUSO4.5H2O was applied to the top 15 cm of replicated microplots of organic soils to increase their Cu concentrations by 0, 150, 500, and 1500 ppm at field sites A (peat) and B (muck) in May 1978 and by 0, 100, 300, and 800 ppm at field site C (mucky peat) in 1979. Duplicate cores of up to 50 cm depth were taken in the spring of 1981 from each of the 56 microplots and analyzed. At all sites, none of the Cu additions caused significant displacement and downward movement of Ca, Mg, K, Fe, Mn, or Zn. There was a leaching of small fractions of the applied Cu down to 40 cm depth only when 1500 ppm of Cu was added to the humus-poor, acidic peat at site A. Some of the Cu applied at the 500 ppm rate at site A and 1500 ppm rate at site B was found in the 20 to 30 cm zone. At site C, none of the applied Cu moved from the top 20 cm (plow layer).

    Notes: Abstract Although a high proportion of fertilizer N may be immobilized in organic forms in the soil, no studies have examined the long-term availability of residual fertilizer 15N in forestry situations. We investigated this by growing lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta) seedlings in surface (0–10 cm) soil sample eight years after application of 15N-urea, 15NH4NO3 and NH4 15NO3 to lodgepole pine in interior British Columbia. After nine months of growth in the greenhouse, seedlings took up an average of 8.5% of the 15N and 4.6% of the native N per pot. Most of the mineral N in the pots without seedlings was in the form of nitrate, while pots with seedlings had very low levels of mineral N. In contrast to the greenhouse study, there was no significantuptake of 15N by trees in the field study after the first growing season, although half of the soil organic 15N was lost between one and eight years after fertilization. This indicates the need to understand the mechanisms which limit the uptake of mineral N by trees in the field, and the possible mismatch of tree demand and mineral N availability.

    Trichuris muris: Structure and formation of the egg polar plugs (1985)

    Notes: Abstract The structure and development of the polar plugs ofTrichuris muris eggs were observed by light and electron microscopy. Initial stages in plug formation commenced in the spermatheca of the adult female where two polar papillae became delimited from the remainder of the oocyte cytoplasm. These papillae exhibited a discrete PAS positive reaction and were regarded as prospective plug regions from which cytoplasmic granules were absent. Glycogen rosettes, initially concentrated in these prospective areas, were later transformed into an irregular fine network of chitin-protein microfibrils. This arrangement of microfibrils was in contrast to that of the surrounding collar region which displayed a distinct lamellate organization. The fully developed polar plug was of lower electron density than the shell. Each plug was covered externally by the vitelline layer and lined internally by the lipid layer of the eggshell.
