MarFERReT: an open-source, version-controlled reference library of marine microbial eukaryote functional genes

<p>Metatranscriptomics generates large volumes of sequence data about transcribed genes in natural environments. Taxonomic annotation of these datasets depends on availability of curated reference sequences. For marine microbial eukaryotes, current reference libraries are limited by gaps in sequenced organism diversity and barriers to updating libraries with new sequence data, resulting in taxonomic annotation of only about half of eukaryotic environmental transcripts. Here, we introduce version 1.0 of the Marine Functional EukaRyotic Reference Taxa (MarFERReT), an updated marine microbial eukaryotic sequence library with a version-controlled framework designed for taxonomic annotation of eukaryotic metatranscriptomes. We gathered 902 marine eukaryote genomes and transcriptomes from multiple sources and assessed these candidate entries for sequence quality and cross-contamination issues, selecting 800 validated entries for inclusion in the library. MarFERReT v1 contains reference sequences from 800 marine eukaryotic genomes and transcriptomes, covering 453 species- and strain-level taxa, totaling nearly 28 million protein sequences with associated NCBI and PR2 Taxonomy identifiers and Pfam functional annotations. An accompanying MarFERReT project repository hosts containerized build scripts, documentation on installation and use case examples, and information on new versions of MarFERReT.<br><br>MarFERReT is linked to a code repository hosting containerized build scripts, documentation on installation and use case examples, and information on new versions of MarFERReT here:&nbsp;<a href="https://github.com/armbrustlab/marferret">https://github.com/armbrustlab/marferret</a></p> <p>The raw source data for the 902 candidate entries considered for MarFERReT v1.1.1, including the 800 accepted entries, are available for download from their respective online locations.

WARM experiment Soil Microbial Function, RMBL Colorado, 2021

We examined how abiotic (warming), and biotic (presence of dominant plant species) factors interact to affect soil microbial processes in montane meadow ecosystems at high and low elevations at the WaRM experimental sites near the Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory in Colorado in the West Elk range of the southern Rocky Mountains in Colorado, USA, during the summer 2021 growing season. The low elevation site (low site) is at 2740 m elevation (38.715, -106.823) in an open meadow without tree cover, and the dominant plant species is a flowering forb, Wyethia amplexicaulis. The high elevation site (high site) (3460 m, 38.992, -107.067) is also described as open meadow with no tree cover and is dominated by Juncus drummondii, a monocot, grass-like herb. The low and high elevation sites have a mean summertime temperature of 14.9 and 10.9°C respectively, and a mean summertime precipitation of 143 and 151 mm The WaRM experimental design is a 2 × 2 factorial warming × dominant plant species removal experiment deployed at the high elevation site and the low elevation site. Each of the four treatments are replicated 8 times, for total of 32 plots (each of which is 2 × 2 m) at each elevation with warming imposed via transparent hexagonal open-top chambers (OTCs), 1.5 m in diameter, in the center of each warming plot and the dominant plant species (listed above) removed via clipping at soil level within removal plots. Treatments at this site have been deployed each summer (June-August) since 2013. We analyzed multiple soil microbial responses at three times throughout the growing season: pre-growing season [low site; approx. May 26, high site; approx. July 6], peak-growing season [low site; approx. June 23, high site; approx. July 21], and post-growing season [low site; approx. August 18, high site; approx. Sept 14]. We measured edaphic characteristics including volumetric soil water content. We measured soil microbial functions including soil respiration, microbial metabolic

Data collected for: The contrasted impacts of grasshoppers on soil microbial activities in function of ecosystem productivity and herbivore diet

<p>Herbivory can have contrasted impacts on soil microbes and nutrient cycling, which has stimulated the development of conceptual frameworks exploring the links between below- and aboveground processes. The "productivity model" predicts that herbivores stimulate microbial activities and accelerate nutrient mineralization in productive ecosystems, while they have an opposite effect in less productive ecosystems. In parallel, the "diet model" predicts that herbivores feeding on conservative plants accelerate nutrient cycling while those feeding on exploitative plants decelerate nutrient cycling, due to changes in litter inputs. Since these two frameworks can lead to conflicting predictions in some cases, experimental evidence combining herbivore diet and productivity is required.</p> <p>During two consecutive years, we conducted an experiment controlling the presence of three grasshopper species consuming either grasses, forbs or both in twelve natural and managed alpine grasslands of contrasted productivities. In order to assess the effects of herbivory on soil microbes, we measured their enzymatic activities, their biomass and the soil potential nitrogen mineralization (PNM). Soil and vegetation characteristics were also determined in order to test if they modulated the effects of herbivory on microbes.</p> <p>Contrary to the predictions of the diet model, the effects of herbivory on microbial characteristics did not depend on the herbivores diet but relied on ecosystem productivity. The most productive sites were characterized by exploitative plant species which depleted N resources in the soil, and by microbes producing relatively few extracellular enzymes, leading to a lower PNM. Herbivory increased microbial biomass and decreased the production of extracellular enzymes in those sites, possibly through the stimulation of root exudates produced by exploitative species. The least productive sites were characterized by conservative plants, which led to the sequestration of soil C, and by microbes having a resource acquisition strategy (more extracellular enzymes, higher PNM). Herbivory decreased microbial biomass and increased the production of extracellular enzymes in those sites. This pattern can be explained by the loss of carbon associated with insect respiration, which increases the need for microbes to acquire resources and by a lower production of root exudates by conservative species. Therefore, the effects of two years of herbivory on soil microbes were at odds with the productivity model, which focuses instead on longer term effects corresponding to herbivory-induced changes in plant species composition. This highlights the multidimensional feature of the impacts of herbivory on ecosystem functioning, both in space and time.</p>

Market forces determine the distribution of a leaky function in a simple microbial community

<p>Many biological functions are leaky, and organisms that perform them contribute some of their products to a community "marketplace" where non-performing individuals may compete for them. Leaky functions are partitioned unequally in microbial communities, and the evolutionary forces determining which species perform them and which become beneficiaries are poorly understood. Here we demonstrate that the market principle of comparative advantage determines the distribution of a leaky antibiotic resistance gene in an environment occupied by two "species" - strains of Escherichia coli growing on mutually exclusive resources and thus occupying separate niches. Communities comprised of antibiotic-resistant cells were rapidly invaded by sensitive cells of both types. While the two phenotypes coexisted stably for 500 generations, in 15/18 replicates, antibiotic sensitivity became fixed in one species. Fixation always occurred in the same species, despite both species being genetically identical except for their niche-defining mutation. In the absence of antibiotic, the fitness cost of resistance was identical in both species. However, the intrinsic resistance of the species that ultimately became the sole helper was significantly lower, and thus its reward for expressing the resistance gene was higher. Opportunity cost of resistance, not absolute cost or efficiency of antibiotic removal, determined which species became helper, consistent with the economic theory of comparative advantage. We present a model that suggests that this market-like dynamic is a general property of Black Queen systems, and in communities dependent on multiple leaky functions, could lead to the spontaneous development of an equitable and efficient division of labor.</p>

Microplastics effects on marine microbial communities and their functioning

<p><span>Microplastics pervade ocean ecosystems. Despite their effects on individuals or populations are well documented, the consequences of microplastics on ecosystem functioning, especially regarding lower trophic levels, are still largely unknown. Here we show how microplastics alter the structure and functioning of pelagic microbial ecosystems. Using experimental pelagic mesocosms, we found that microplastics indirectly affect marine productivity by changing the bacterial and phytoplankton assemblages. Specifically, the addition of microplastics increased phytoplankton biomass and shifted bacterial assemblages' composition. Such changes altered the interactions between heterotrophic and autotrophic microbes and the cycling of ammonia in the water column, which ultimately benefited photosynthetic efficiency. The effects of microplastics on marine productivity were consistent for different microplastic types. This study demonstrates that microplastics affect bacteria and phytoplankton communities and influence marine productivity, which ultimately alters the functioning of the whole ocean ecosystem.</span></p>

Data from: Functional diversity enhances, but exploitative traits reduce tree mixture effects on microbial biomass

1. Soil microorganisms play key roles in terrestrial biodiversity and ecosystem functions. Despite recent progress in elucidating the association between plant diversity and soil microorganisms, it remains unclear whether the functional properties of plant mixtures might alter this association. 2. We examined whether the effects of tree species mixtures on soil microbial biomass were impacted by the functional diversity (FD) and community-weighted-mean (CWM) of tree mixtures, by conducting a global meta-analysis involving 123 paired observations of tree mixtures and the corresponding monocultures from 38 studies in forests. 3. We found that the tree mixture effect on microbial biomass increased with the FD of specific leaf area (SLA), leaf N and P content, as well as the FD based on all of these traits plus leaf dry matter content. Meanwhile, the responses of microbial biomass to tree mixtures decreased with the CWM of SLA, leaf N, and P content. The effects of FD and CWM remained consistent, despite variable tree species richness, stand age and climatic factors. 4. Our results provide a new insight that the functional properties of plants may alter the magnitude of the association between plant diversity and soil microorganisms.

Data from: Do temperate tree species diversity and identity influence soil microbial community function and composition?

Studies of biodiversity-ecosystem function in treed ecosystems have generally focused on aboveground functions. The present study investigates inter-trophic links between tree diversity and soil microbial community function and composition.We examined how microbial communities in surface mineral soil responded to experimental gradients of tree species richness (SR), functional diversity (FD), community-weighted mean trait value (CWM) and tree identity. The site was a 4-yr-old common garden experiment near Montreal, Canada, consisting of deciduous and evergreen tree species mixtures. Microbial community composition, community-level physiological profiles (CLPP) and respiration were evaluated using phospholipid fatty acid (PLFA) analysis and the MicroRespTM system, respectively. The relationship between tree species richness and glucose induced respiration (GIR), basal respiration (BR), metabolic quotient (qCO2) followed a positive but saturating shape. Microbial communities associated with species mixtures were more active (basal respiration (BR)), with higher biomass (glucose induced respiration (GIR)), and used a greater number of carbon sources than monocultures. Communities associated with deciduous tree species used a greater number of carbon sources than those associated with evergreen species, suggesting a greater soil carbon storage capacity. There were no differences in microbial composition (PLFA) between monocultures and SR mixtures. The FD and the CWM of several functional traits affected both BR and GIR. In general, the CWM of traits had stronger effects than did FD, suggesting that certain traits of dominant species have more effect on ecosystem processes than does FD. Both the functions of GIR and BR were positively related to aboveground tree community productivity. Both tree diversity (SR) and identity (species and functional identity – leaf habit) affected soil microbial community respiration, biomass and composition. For the first time, we identified functional traits related to life history strategy, as well as root traits that influence another trophic level, soil microbial community function, via effects on BR and GIR.

Climate regulates the effect of land-use change on the diversity of soil microbial functional groups and soil multifunctionality

<p>Although studies have explored how soil microbial diversity and soil multifunctionality respond to land-use change at local scales, they have rarely been explored at larger scales and across different climatic and soil environmental conditions.</p> <p>By sampling 40 paired sites of land-use change from natural forests to agricultural lands (including croplands and orchards) along the middle and lower Yangtze River, combined with a global meta-analysis, we investigated the effects of land-use change and climate on the alpha and beta diversity of soil bacterial and fungal functional groups (FGs) and their associated soil multifunctionality at a regional scale.</p> <p>Our results showed that land-use change strongly changed the diversity of soil bacterial and fungal FGs and decreased multifunctionality, which was supported by our meta-analysis at a global scale. Direct effects of land-use change and climate and their interaction, together with changes in soil environmental variables, were the main determinants of the land-use change-induced changes in the diversity of soil bacterial or fungal FGs. The land-use change-induced decrease in multifunctionality was mainly associated with the direct effect of forest conversion, soil fertility, and diversity of fungal FGs. Furthermore, climate also regulated the effects of land-use change on multifunctionality by affecting soil fertility and fungal FGs diversity along the Yangtze River.</p> <p><em>Synthesis and applications</em>. Taken together, our findings highlight the important effects of land-use change, climate, and their interactions on microbial diversity and multifunctionality, and suggest that effective land-use management and climate change mitigation strategies should be adopted to protect biodiversity and ecosystem function in the Yangtze River Basin.</p>
