Hydrogenase‐ and outer membrane c ‐type cytochrome‐facilitated reduction of technetium(VII) by Shewanella oneidensis MR‐1 - Matthew J. Marshall; Andrew E. Plymale; David W.

(Environmental Microbiology, 2008)
Summary Pertechnetate, 99 Tc(VII)O 4 – , is a highly mobile radionuclide contaminant at US Department of Energy sites that can be enzymatically reduced by a range of anaerobic and facultatively anaerobic microorganisms, including Shewanella oneidensis MR‐1, to poorly soluble Tc(IV)O 2(s) . In other microorganisms, Tc(VII)O 4 – reduction is generally considered to be catalysed by hydrogenase. Here, we provide evidence that although the NiFe hydrogenase of MR‐1 was involved in the H 2 ‐driven reduction of Tc(VII)O 4 – [presumably through a direct coupling of H 2 oxidation and Tc(VII) reduction], the deletion of both hydrogenase genes did not completely eliminate the ability of MR‐1 to reduce Tc(VII). With lactate as the electron donor, mutants lacking the outer membrane c ‐type cytochromes MtrC and OmcA or the proteins required for the maturation of c ‐type cytochromes were defective in reducing Tc(VII) to nanoparticulate TcO 2 ·nH 2 O (s) relative to MR‐1 or a NiFe hydrogenase mutant. In addition, reduced MtrC and OmcA were oxidized by Tc(VII)O 4 – , confirming the capacity for direct electron transfer from these OMCs to TcO 4 – . c ‐Type cytochrome‐catalysed Tc(VII) reduction could be a potentially important mechanism in environments where organic electron donor concentrations are sufficient to allow this reaction to dominate.

Covariabilities of spring soil moisture and summertime United States precipitation in a climate simulation - Wanru Wu; Robert E. Dickinson; Hui Wang; Yongqiang Liu; Muhammad Shaikh (International Journal of Climatology, 2007)
This paper explores the space‐time connections between springtime soil moisture and summer precipitation over the continental United States by applying a singular value decomposition (SVD) method to a 50‐year climate simulation. The first two SVD modes were analyzed. The two leading SVD modes account for 43% of the squared covariance between spring soil moisture and summer precipitation. Their corresponding components explain 14% of the soil moisture variance and 19% of the precipitation variance, respectively, which is larger than that contributed by tropical Pacific sea‐surface temperatures (SSTs). The temporal correlations between the two expansion coefficients of each SVD mode are 0.83 and 0.88, respectively, indicating a significant association between spring soil moisture variation and summer precipitation variability. Both positive and negative cross‐correlations exist over different regions of the United States in the two modes. Linear regression relates surface relative humidity and surface air temperature to the soil moisture SVD time series. The patterns revealed by the SVD analysis show where the local soil moisture‐precipitation coupling contributes to the model's simulation of precipitation.

Summary Whole‐genome analysis of gene expression in Geobacter sulfurreducens revealed 474 genes with transcript levels that were significantly different during growth with an electrode as the sole electron acceptor versus growth on Fe(III) citrate. The greatest response was a more than 19‐fold increase in transcript levels for omcS , which encodes an outer‐membrane cytochrome previously shown to be required for Fe(III) oxide reduction. Quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction and Northern analyses confirmed the higher levels of omcS transcripts, which increased as power production increased. Deletion of omcS inhibited current production that was restored when omcS was expressed in trans. Transcript expression and genetic analysis suggested that OmcE, another outer‐membrane cytochrome, is also involved in electron transfer to electrodes. Surprisingly, genes for other proteins known to be important in Fe(III) reduction such as the outer‐membrane c ‐type cytochrome, OmcB, and the electrically conductive pilin ‘nanowires’ did not have higher transcript levels on electrodes, and deletion of the relevant genes did not inhibit power production. Changes in the transcriptome suggested that cells growing on electrodes were subjected to less oxidative stress than cells growing on Fe(III) citrate and that a number of genes annotated as encoding metal efflux proteins or proteins of unknown function may be important for growth on electrodes. These results demonstrate for the first time that it is possible to evaluate gene expression, and hence the metabolic state, of microorganisms growing on electrodes on a genome‐wide basis and suggest that OmcS, and to a lesser extent OmcE, are important in electron transfer to electrodes. This has important implications for the design of electrode materials and the genetic engineering of microorganisms to improve the function of microbial fuel cells.

Genomics of hybrid poplar ( Populus trichocarpa × deltoides ) interacting with forest tent caterpillars ( Malacosoma disstria ): normalized and full‐length cDNA libraries, expressed sequence tags, and a cDNA microarray for the study of insect‐induced defences in poplar - STEVEN RALPH; CLAIRE ODDY; DAWN COOPER; HESTHER YUEH; SHARON JANCSIK; NATALIA KOLOSOVA; RYAN N. PHILIPPE; DANA AESCHLIMAN; RICK WHITE; DEZENE HUBER; CAROL E. RITLAND; FRANÇOIS BENOIT; et al. (Molecular Ecology, 2006)
As part of a genomics strategy to characterize inducible defences against insect herbivory in poplar, we developed a comprehensive suite of functional genomics resources including cDNA libraries, expressed sequence tags (ESTs) and a cDNA microarray platform. These resources are designed to complement the existing poplar genome sequence and poplar ( Populus spp.) ESTs by focusing on herbivore‐ and elicitor‐treated tissues and incorporating normalization methods to capture rare transcripts. From a set of 15 standard, normalized or full‐length cDNA libraries, we generated 139 007 3′‐ or 5′‐end sequenced ESTs, representing more than one‐third of the c. 385 000 publicly available Populus ESTs. Clustering and assembly of 107 519 3′‐end ESTs resulted in 14 451 contigs and 20 560 singletons, altogether representing 35 011 putative unique transcripts, or potentially more than three‐quarters of the predicted c. 45 000 genes in the poplar genome. Using this EST resource, we developed a cDNA microarray containing 15 496 unique genes, which was utilized to monitor gene expression in poplar leaves in response to herbivory by forest tent caterpillars ( Malacosoma disstria ). After 24 h of feeding, 1191 genes were classified as up‐regulated, compared to only 537 down‐regulated. Functional classification of this induced gene set revealed genes with roles in plant defence (e.g. endochitinases, Kunitz protease inhibitors), octadecanoid and ethylene signalling (e.g. lipoxygenase, allene oxide synthase, 1‐aminocyclopropane‐1‐carboxylate oxidase), transport (e.g. ABC proteins, calreticulin), secondary metabolism [e.g. polyphenol oxidase, isoflavone reductase, (–)‐germacrene D synthase] and transcriptional regulation [e.g. leucine‐rich repeat transmembrane kinase, several transcription factor classes (zinc finger C3H type, AP2/EREBP, WRKY, bHLH)]. This study provides the first genome‐scale approach to characterize insect‐induced defences in a woody perennial providing a solid platform for functional investigation of plant–insect interactions in poplar.

Fuzzy Classification of Ecological Habitats from FIA Data - Lianjun Zhang; Chuangmin Liu; Craig J. Davis; Dale S. Solomon; Thomas B. Brann; Lawrence E. Caldwell (Forest Science, 2004)
Fuzzy c-mean classification (FCM), multi-layer perceptron neural network (MLP), fuzzy ARTMAP, and linear discriminant analysis (LDA) were used to classify Forest Inventory and Analysis (FIA) plots into six ecological habitats in the U.S. Northeast. Among the four classifiers, both FCM and MLP produced “soft” classifications based on fuzzy membership values. In contrast, fuzzy ARTMAP and LDA generated only “hard” classifications in which a plot is assigned to the dominant habitat class, based on binary logic, without considering any coexisting classes. The error matrix and several accuracy indices were calculated to assess the classification accuracy of the methods and to test the differences among the four classifiers. The classification accuracies of FCM and MLP were 98% and 97%, respectively, for overall classification, while fuzzy ARTMAP and LDA had an overall classification accuracy of 92% and 85%, respectively. The χ2 test showed that there was no significant difference between the FCM and MLP methods in classification accuracy. But they were significantly better than both fuzzy ARTMAP and LDA methods at a significant level of α = 0.05. This study showed that the fuzzy classifiers such as FCM and MLP were preferable in the classification of ecological habitats using FIA plots, especially for the classification of ambiguous plots with mixed overstory and understory species compositions.

Comparison of Neural Networks and Statistical Methods in Classification of Ecological Habitats Using FIA Data - Chuangmin Liu; Lianjun Zhang; Craig J. Davis; Dale S. Solomon; Thomas B. Brann; Lawrence E. Caldwell (Forest Science, 2003)
Two artificial neural networks (ANN) and three traditional statistical classification methods are used to classify Forest Inventory and Analysis (FIA) plots into six ecological habitats in the U.S. Northeast. Four variables (overstory and understory species composition, hardwood basal area percentage, and current FIA forest type) are identified from a list of available stand variables as the most important discriminating variables for habitat classification. The error matrix and accuracy indices are used to assess the classification accuracy of the models and to test the differences between the five classifiers. The ANN models (MLP and RBF) are superior to the traditional statistical methods such as linear discriminant analysis and minimum-distance classification. The classification accuracy of the ANN models is 90% or higher for overall classification, and exceeds 92% in five of the six habitat categories. The K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN) method classifies the six ecological habitats as accurately as the two neural network models. This study shows that the ANN models and KNN method have a great potential for the classification of ecological habitats using FIA data, due to their flexibility of modeling algorithms and robustness to the problems in FIA data such as non-Gaussian distributions, nonlinear relationships, outliers and noise in the data.

Aircraft images were collected near Lee Stocking Island (LSI), Bahamas, with wavelike features for bright sand bottoms during times when solar zenith angles were large. The image contrast between leading and trailing wave facets approached a 10–15% difference because of algae accumulations in wave troughs or topographic variations of the bottom. Reflectance contrast for blue light was greater than for red and green wavelengths when algae or detritus was present in the troughs. However, the contrast at green and red wavelengths was greater than at blue wavelengths when caused by the interplay between bottom topography and oblique illumination. A three‐dimensional backwards Monte Carlo (BMC) model was developed to evaluate the effect of oblique illumination on wavelike topographic features for various values of water clarity and bottom albedo. An inverse optical modeling approach, previously developed for flat, horizontally homogeneous bottoms, was applied to the BMC results. Bathymetric estimates for bright facets tilted 10° toward the sun were slightly smaller than actual depths, whereas shaded facet depth estimates were too high by about 5%. Larger errors were associated with albedo retrievals, where shaded facets produced albedo estimates up to 15% lower than actual values. Errors increased with tilt angles up to 20° but decreased with sea and sky turbidity. Averaging sunlit and shaded pixels before running the inverse model reduced the uncertainty of bathymetric and albedo estimates to about 2 and 5%, respectively, comparable to previous field evaluations of the inversion model.

Palaeovegetation of China: a pollen data‐based synthesis for the mid‐Holocene and last glacial maximum - G. Yu; X. Chen; J. Ni; R. Cheddadi; J. Guiot; H. Han; S. P. Harrison; C. Huang; M. Ke; Z. Kong; S. Li; W. Li; et al. (Journal of Biogeography, 2000)
Pollen data from China for 6000 and 18,000 14 C yr bp were compiled and used to reconstruct palaeovegetation patterns, using complete taxon lists where possible and a biomization procedure that entailed the assignment of 645 pollen taxa to plant functional types. A set of 658 modern pollen samples spanning all biomes and regions provided a comprehensive test for this procedure and showed convincing agreement between reconstructed biomes and present natural vegetation types, both geographically and in terms of the elevation gradients in mountain regions of north‐eastern and south‐western China. The 6000 14 C yr bp map confirms earlier studies in showing that the forest biomes in eastern China were systematically shifted northwards and extended westwards during the mid‐Holocene. Tropical rain forest occurred on mainland China at sites characterized today by either tropical seasonal or broadleaved evergreen/warm mixed forest. Broadleaved evergreen/warm mixed forest occurred further north than today, and at higher elevation sites within the modern latitudinal range of this biome. The northern limit of temperate deciduous forest was shifted c. 800 km north relative to today. The 18,000 14 C yr bp map shows that steppe and even desert vegetation extended to the modern coast of eastern China at the last glacial maximum, replacing today’s temperate deciduous forest. Tropical forests were excluded from China and broadleaved evergreen/warm mixed forest had retreated to tropical latitudes, while taiga extended southwards to c . 43°N.
