Observed spatio‐temporal changes of winter snow albedo over the north‐west Himalaya - H. S. Negi; P. Datt; N. K. Thakur; A. Ganju; V. K. Bhatia; G. Vinay Kumar (International Journal of Climatology, 2017)
This study presents the spatio‐temporal winter snow albedo analysis over different mountain ranges of north‐west Himalaya ( NWH ) for a period of approximately 24 years. Here we assess the temporal albedo variations in past two decades (1991–2010) in comparison to the recent 14 years (2000–2014). The field collected manual data of two representative observatories of Lower Himalaya ( LH ) and Great Himalaya ( GH ), and six automatic weather stations in LH , GH and Karakoram Himalaya ( KH ) were analysed. Satellite derived MODIS albedo data (MOD10A1) over these stations between 2001 and 2014 were analysed. A good correlation ( r = 0.59) was observed between monthly average MODIS retrieved albedo and field collected albedo for GH with a relative error of 11%. In past two decades, a statistically significant (99%) decreasing rate of −0.011 per year in winter snow albedo was observed over GH (1993–2010), while in recent decade (2001 onward), no statistically significant increasing trend was observed. The change in albedo of GH is attributed to winter mean air temperature, which shows a significant rise in the past two decades, but there has been a hiatus in winter mean air temperature rise in recent decade. The higher winter mean air temperature above 0 °C since beginning of the study period (1991 onward) kept albedo of moist/wet snow approximately stable in LH . Further, insignificant increasing trend of albedo was observed over KH range in recent decade, and it is attributed to persistent very low temperatures and an increase in the frequency of snowfall days. This albedo study over NWH supports the recently reported findings on Himalayan snow cover and glacier variations during different durations.

Govindakrishnan; Dieudonne Harahagazwe; et al. (Global Change Biology, 2017)
A potato crop multimodel assessment was conducted to quantify variation among models and evaluate responses to climate change. Nine modeling groups simulated agronomic and climatic responses at low‐input (Chinoli, Bolivia and Gisozi, Burundi)‐ and high‐input (Jyndevad, Denmark and Washington, United States) management sites. Two calibration stages were explored, partial (P1), where experimental dry matter data were not provided, and full (P2). The median model ensemble response outperformed any single model in terms of replicating observed yield across all locations. Uncertainty in simulated yield decreased from 38% to 20% between P1 and P2. Model uncertainty increased with interannual variability, and predictions for all agronomic variables were significantly different from one model to another ( P ET ), nitrogen uptake, and water use efficiency as compared to dry matter. A minimum of five partial, or three full, calibrated models was required for an ensemble approach to keep variability below that of common field variation. Model variation was not influenced by change in carbon dioxide (C), but increased as much as 41% and 23% for yield and ET , respectively, as temperature (T) or rainfall (W) moved away from historical levels. Increases in T accounted for the highest amount of uncertainty, suggesting that methods and parameters for T sensitivity represent a considerable unknown among models. Using median model ensemble values, yield increased on average 6% per 100‐ppm C, declined 4.6% per °C, and declined 2% for every 10% decrease in rainfall (for nonirrigated sites). Differences in predictions due to model representation of light utilization were significant ( P

SecReT6 : a web‐based resource for type VI secretion systems found in bacteria - Jun Li; Yufeng Yao; H. Howard Xu; Limin Hao; Zixin Deng; Kumar Rajakumar; Hong‐Yu Ou (Environmental Microbiology, 2015)
Summary SecReT6 ( http://db‐mml.sjtu.edu.cn/SecReT6/ ) is an integrated database providing comprehensive information on type VI secretion systems ( T6SSs ) in bacteria. T6SSs are a class of sophisticated cell contact‐dependent apparatuses involved in mediating antagonistic or synergistic communications between bacteria and/or bacteria and eukaryotes. These apparatuses have recently been found to be widely distributed among G ram‐negative bacterial species. SecReT6 offers a unique, readily explorable archive of known and putative T6SSs , and cognate effectors found in bacteria. It currently contains data on 11 167 core T6SS components mapping to 906 T6SSs found in 498 bacterial strains representing 240 species, as well as a collection of over 600 directly relevant references. Also collated and archived were 1340 diverse candidate secreted effectors which were experimentally shown and/or predicted to be delivered by T6SSs into target eukaryotic and/or prokaryotic cells as well as 196 immunity proteins. A broad range of T6SS gene cluster detection and comparative analysis tools are readily accessible via SecReT6 , which may aid identification of effectors and immunity proteins around the T6SS core components. This database will be regularly updated to ensure its ongoing maximal utility and relevance to the scientific research community.

clpC operon regulates cell architecture and sporulation in Bacillus anthracis - Lalit K.

(Environmental Microbiology, 2015)
Summary The clpC operon is known to regulate several processes such as genetic competence, protein degradation and stress survival in bacteria. Here, we describe the role of clpC operon in B acillus anthracis . We generated knockout strains of the clpC operon genes to investigate the impact of CtsR , McsA , McsB and ClpC deletion on essential processes of B . anthracis. We observed that growth, cell division, sporulation and germination were severely affected in mcsB and clpC deleted strains, while none of deletions affected toxin secretion. Growth defect in these strains was pronounced at elevated temperature. The growth pattern gets restored on complementation of mcsB and clpC in respective mutants. Electron microscopic examination revealed that mcsB and clpC deletion also causes defect in septum formation leading to cell elongation. These vegetative cell deformities were accompanied by inability of mutant strains to generate morphologically intact spores. Higher levels of polyhydroxybutyrate granules accumulation were also observed in these deletion strains, indicating a defect in sporulation process. Our results demonstrate, for the first time, the vital role played by McsB and ClpC in physiology of B . anthracis and open up further interest on this operon, which might be of importance to success of B . anthracis as pathogen.

High diversity and widespread occurrence of mitotic spore mats in ectomycorrhizal Pezizales - R. A. Healy; M. E. Smith; G. M. Bonito; D. H. Pfister; Z. ‐W. Ge; G. G. Guevara; G. Williams; K. Stafford; L. Kumar; T. Lee; C. Hobart; J. Trappe; et al. (Molecular Ecology, 2013)
Fungal mitospores may function as dispersal units and/ or spermatia and thus play a role in distribution and/or mating of species that produce them. Mitospore production in ectomycorrhizal (EcM) Pezizales is rarely reported, but here we document mitospore production by a high diversity of EcM Pezizales on three continents, in both hemispheres. We sequenced the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) and partial large subunit (LSU) nuclear rDNA from 292 spore mats (visible mitospore clumps) collected in Argentina, Chile, China, Mexico and the USA between 2009 and 2012. We collated spore mat ITS sequences with 105 fruit body and 47 EcM root sequences to generate operational taxonomic units (OTUs). Phylogenetic inferences were made through analyses of both molecular data sets. A total of 48 OTUs from spore mats represented six independent EcM Pezizales lineages and included truffles and cup fungi. Three clades of seven OTUs have no known meiospore stage. Mitospores failed to germinate on sterile media, or form ectomycorrhizas on Quercus, Pinus and Populus seedlings, consistent with a hypothesized role of spermatia. The broad geographic range, high frequency and phylogenetic diversity of spore mats produced by EcM Pezizales suggests that a mitospore stage is important for many species in this group in terms of mating, reproduction and/or dispersal.

Establishment of medium for laboratory cultivation and maintenance of F redericella sultana for in vivo experiments with T etracapsuloides bryosalmonae ( M yxozoa) - G Kumar; A Abd‐Elfattah; H Soliman; M El‐Matbouli (Journal of Fish Diseases, 2013)
The freshwater bryozoan F redericella sultana ( B lumenbach) is the most common invertebrate host of the myxozoan parasite T etracapsuloides bryosalmonae , the causative agent of proliferative kidney disease in salmonid fish. Culture media play an important role in hatching of statoblasts and maintaining clean bryozoan colonies for M alacosporea research. We developed a novel culture medium, B ryozoan M edium C ( BMC ), for the cultivation and maintenance of F . sultana under laboratory conditions. Statoblasts of F . sultana were successfully hatched to produce transparent‐walled, specific pathogen‐free ( SPF ) colonies that were maintained >12 months in BMC at pH 6.65. T etracapsuloides bryosalmonae was successfully transmitted from infected brown trout, S almo trutta L ., to newly hatched F . sultana colonies in BMC , then from the infected bryozoan to SPF brown trout. This study demonstrated the utility of BMC ( pH 6.65) for hatching statoblasts, long‐term cultivation of clean and transparent bryozoan colonies and maintenance of the T etracapsuloides bryosalmonae life cycle in the laboratory for molecular genetic research and other studies such as host–parasiteinteraction.
