Prevalence, mechanisms and genetic relatedness of the human pathogenic fungus Aspergillus fumigatus exhibiting resistance to medical azoles in the environment of Taiwan - Hsuan‐Chen Wang; Jui‐Chang Huang; Yong‐Hong Lin; Yu‐Hsin Chen; Ming‐I Hsieh; Pui‐Ching Choi; Hsiu‐Jung Lo; Wei‐Lun Liu; Ching‐Shan Hsu; Hsin‐I Shih; Chi‐Jung Wu; Yee‐Chun Chen (Environmental Microbiology, 2018)
Summary Emerging azole resistance in Aspergillus fumigatus poses a serious threat to human health. This nationwide surveillance study investigated the prevalence and molecular characteristics of azole‐resistant A. fumigatus environmental isolates in Taiwan, an island country with increasing use of azole fungicides. Of the 2760 air and soil samples screened from 2014 to 2016, 451 A. fumigatus isolates were recovered from 266 samples and 34 isolates from 29 samples displayed resistance to medical azoles (itraconazole, voriconazole or posaconazole). The resistance prevalence was 10.9% and 7.5% in A. fumigatus ‐positive samples and isolates respectively. Most (29, 85.3%) azole‐resistant isolates harboured TR 34 /L98H mutations, which were widely distributed, clustered genetically with clinical isolates, and had growth rates that were similar to those of the wild‐type isolates. Microsatellite genotyping revealed both the global spread of the TR 34 /L98H isolates and the occurrence of TR 34 /L98H/S297T/F495I isolates belonging to local microsatellite genotypes. AfuMDR3 and atrF , two efflux transporter genes, were constitutively upregulated in two individual resistant isolates without cyp51A mutations, highlighting their potential roles in azole resistance. These results emphasize the need for periodic environmental surveillance at the molecular level in regions in which azole fungicides are applied, and agricultural fungicide management strategies that generate less selective pressure should be investigated.

Co‐existence of distinct Ostreococcus ecotypes at an oceanic front - Sophie Clayton; Yun‐Chi Lin; Michael J. Follows; Alexandra Z. Worden (Limnology and Oceanography, 2017)
Western boundary currents support high primary production and carbon export. Here, we performed a survey of photosynthetic picoeukaryotes in the North Pacific Ocean in four transects crossing the Kuroshio Front. Prasinophyte algae comprised 85% of 18S rRNA gene sequences for photosynthetic taxa in the Micromonas and Ostreococcus comprised 30% and 51% of the total photosynthetic 18S rDNA sequences from five stations. Phylogenetic analysis showed that two Ostreococcus ecotypes, until now rarely found to co‐occur, were both present in the majority of samples. Ostreococcus ecotype OI reached 6,830 ± 343 gene copies mL −1 , while Ostreococcus ecotype OII reached 50,190 ± 971 gene copies mL −1 based on qPCR analysis of the 18S rRNA gene. These values are higher than in studies of other oceanographic regions by a factor of 10 for OII. The data suggest that meso‐ and finer‐scale physical dynamics had a significant impact on the populations at the front, either by mingling ecotypes from different source regions at fine scales (∼10s km) or by stimulating their growth through vertical nutrient injections. We investigate this hypothesis with an idealized diffusion‐reaction model, and find that only a combination of mixing and positive net growth can explain the observed distributions and overlap of the two Ostreococcus ecotypes. Our field observations support larger‐scale numerical ocean simulations that predict enhanced biodiversity at western boundary current fronts, and suggest a strategy for systematically testing that hypothesis.

Paleoenvironments of the evolving P liocene to early P leistocene foreland basin in northwestern T aiwan: An example from the D ahan R iver section - Tsun‐You Pan; Andrew Tien‐Shun Lin; Wen‐Rong Chi (Island Arc, 2015)
The overriding of the L uzon volcanic arc atop the underlying C hinese rifted‐continental margin has caused the formation of the T aiwan mountain belts and a peripheral foreland basin west of the orogen since the late Miocene. In this study, lithofacies analysis and calcareous nannofossil biostratigraphic investigations of the Dahan River section in northwestern ( NW ) T aiwan were performed. Our results offer insights into the temporal evolution of the sedimentary environments and the competing effects of the sedimentation and basin tectonics of the NW T aiwan foreland basin from the P liocene to early P leistocene. Nannofossil biostratigraphic studies showed that the upper K ueichulin F ormation and the overlying C hinshui S hale can be assigned to the NN 15 biozone of the P liocene age, and the C holan F ormation pertains to NN 16– NN 18 of the early P leistocene. The NN 15– NN 16 boundary coincides roughly with the boundary of the C hinshui S hale and C holan F ormation. We recognized three major sedimentary environments in the studied foreland succession comprising the upper K ueichulin F ormation, C hinshui S hale, C holan F ormation and Y angmei F ormation, in ascending order. During the deposition of the upper K ueichulin Formation in the early P liocene, the dominant environment was a wave‐ and tide‐influenced open marine setting. During the late P liocene, the environment deepened to an outer‐offshore setting when the sediments of C hinshui Shale were accumulated. In the P leistocene, the environment then shallowed to wave‐dominated estuaries during the deposition of the lower C holan F ormation, and the basin was rapidly filled, generating a meandering and sandy braided river environment during the deposition of the upper C holan to the Y angmei Formation. In summary, the evolution of sedimentary environments in the studied succession shows a deepening then a shallowing and coarsening upward trend during the period from the Pliocene to the Pleistocene, spanning the age from approximately 4 to 1 Ma.

Interplay of RsbM and RsbK controls the σ B activity of Bacillus cereus - Lei‐Chin Chen; Jung‐Chi Chen; Jwu‐Ching Shu; Chien‐Yen Chen; Ssu‐Ching Chen; Shu‐Hwa Chen; Chun‐Yen Lin; Chi‐Yu Lu; Chien‐Cheng Chen (Environmental Microbiology, 2012)
Summary The alternative transcription factor σ B of Bacillus cereus controls the expression of a number of genes that respond to environmental stress. Four proteins encoded in the sigB gene cluster, including RsbV, RsbW, RsbY (RsbU) and RsbK, are known to be essential in the σ B ‐mediated stress response. In the context of stress, the hybrid sensor kinase RsbK is thought to phosphorylate the response regulator RsbY, a PP2C serine phosphatase, leading to the dephosphorylation of the phosphorylated RsbV. The unphosphorylated RsbV then sequesters the σ B antagonist, RsbW, ultimately liberating σ B . The gene arrangement reveals an open reading frame, bc1007 , flanked immediately downstream by rsbK within the sigB gene cluster. However, little is known about the function of bc1007 . In this study, the deletion of bc1007 resulted in high constitutive σ B expression independent of environmental stimuli, indicating that bc1007 plays a role in σ B regulation. A bacterial two‐hybrid analysis demonstrated that BC1007 interacts directly with RsbK, and autoradiographic studies revealed a specific C 14 ‐methyl transfer from the radiolabelled S‐adenosylmethionine to RsbK when RsbK was incubated with purified BC1007. Our data suggest that BC1007 (RsbM) negatively regulates σ B activity by methylating RsbK. Additionally, mutagenic substitution was employed to modify 12 predicted methylation residues in RsbK. Certain RsbK mutants were able to rescue σ B activation in a rsbK ‐deleted bacterial strain, but RsbK E439A failed to activate σ B , and RsbK E446A only moderately induced σ B . These results suggest that Glu439 is the preferred methylation site and that Glu446 is potentially a minor methylation site. Gene arrays of the rsbK orthologues and the neighbouring rsbM orthologues are found in a wide range of bacteria. The regulation of sigma factors through metylation of RsbK‐like sensor kinases appears to be widespread in the microbial world.
