Metagenomic insights into the metabolism and evolution of a new Thermoplasmata order ( Candidatus Gimiplasmatales) - Wenzhe Hu; Jie Pan; Bin Wang; Jun Guo; Meng Li; Meiying Xu (Environmental Microbiology, 2021)
Summary Thermoplasmata is a widely distributed and ecologically important archaeal class in the phylum Euryarchaeota. Because few cultures and genomes are available, uncharacterized Thermoplasmata metabolisms remain unexplored. In this study, we obtained four medium‐ to high‐quality archaeal metagenome‐assembled genomes (MAGs) from the filamentous fragments of black‐odorous aquatic sediments (Foshan, Guangdong, China). Based on their 16S rRNA gene and ribosomal protein phylogenies, the four MAGs belong to the previously unnamed Thermoplasmata UBA10834 clade. We propose that this clade (five reference genomes from the Genome Taxonomy Database (GTDB) and four MAGs from this study) be considered a new order, Candidatus Gimiplasmatales. Metabolic pathway reconstructions indicated that the Ca . Gimiplasmatales MAGs can biosynthesize isoprenoids and nucleotides de novo . Additionally, some taxa have genes for formaldehyde and acetate assimilation, and the Wood–Ljungdahl CO 2 ‐fixation pathway, indicating a mixotrophic lifestyle. Sulfur reduction, hydrogen metabolism, and arsenic detoxification pathways were predicted, indicating sulfur‐, hydrogen‐, and arsenic‐transformation potentials. Comparative genomics indicated that the H 4 F Wood–Ljungdahl pathway of both Ca . Gimiplasmatales and Methanomassiliicoccales was likely obtained by the interdomain lateral gene transfer from the Firmicutes. Collectively, this study elucidates the taxonomic and potential metabolic diversity of the new order Ca . Gimiplasmatales and the evolution of this subgroup and its sister lineage Methanomassiliicoccales.

Antibiotic Modulation of Capsular Exopolysaccharide in Pelagicoccus enzymogenes sp. nov. Isolated From Marine Sediment - Xi Feng; Ya Gong; Meng-Qi Ye; Zong-Jun Du (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021)
Although Verrucomicrobia is widely distributed in the marine environment, their physiological or cellular properties are poorly characterized because of the lack of cultured representatives. Under the selective pressure of two antibiotics, ofloxacin and norfloxacin, a Gram-stain-negative, aerobic coccus with exopolysaccharide (EPS) production ability was isolated from the coastal sediment of Xiaoshi Island, Weihai, China. These antibiotics inhibited bacterial growth, giving rise to the relatively slow-growing Verrucomicrobia that formed colonies on the isolation plates. It may be an effective method for the isolation of Puniceicoccaceae . From the taxonomic data obtained in this study, the new marine isolate NFK12 T (=KCTC 72940 T = MCCC 1H00424 T ) is proposed to be placed into a novel species within the genus Pelagicoccus for which the name Pelagicoccus enzymogenes sp. nov. is proposed. The EPS production of the strain NFK12 T and the related strains were investigated and the effect of EPS produced by the strain NFK12 T on the growth of other strains was examined. Besides, the effect of EPS on tolerance to ofloxacin and norfloxacin of the strain NFK12 T was studied by measuring the biomass of the strain NFK12 T . It was deduced that those strains that produced EPS tentatively protected themselves against the inhibitory effects of ofloxacin and norfloxacin.

CD40 induces an antimicrobial response against the intracellular pathogen Streptococcus agalactiae in Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus - Hongli Xia; Huimin Fan; Meng Long; Jun Cheng; Wenjie Chen; Dapeng Yu; Liqun Xia; Yishan Lu (Journal of Fish Diseases, 2021)
Streptococcus agalactiae is a Gram‐positive facultative intracellular bacterium that leads to severe economic loss of tilapia worldwide. Previous studies demonstrated that CD40 contributes to host protection against intracellular injection. In this study, CD40 was characterized from Nile tilapia ( Oreochromis niloticus ), named OnCD40. Sequence analysis showed that open reading frame of OnCD40 was 933 bp, containing a single peptide, a transmembrane domain and four cysteine‐rich domains. The qRT‐PCR revealed that OnCD40 was expressed in all examined tissues with the most abundant ones in spleen and thymus. After S. agalactiae stimulation, the expression of OnCD40 was significantly induced in most of the detected organs. Moreover, OnCD40‐overexpressing fish elicited significant protection against subsequent S. agalactiae challenge; approximately 10000‐fold fewer bacteria were detected in spleen of OnCD40‐overexpressing fish in comparison with control fish. Thus, CD40 had protecting function in Nile tilapia against intracellular pathogens.

Uncertainties in simulating central Asia: Sensitivity to physical parameterizations using Weather Research and Forecasting model - Yongli Wang; Jinming Feng; Meng Luo; Jun Wang; Yuan Qiu (International Journal of Climatology, 2020)
The Weather Research and Forecasting model (WRF) comprises a number of parameterization schemes, and therefore the different combined physical parameterization schemes should be discussed before determining optimal configurations. The regional climate of central Asia is simulated from 2003 to 2008 using the WRFv4.0.1 with nine physical combinations (microphysics [MP], cumulus [CU], planetary boundary layer [PBL]) on a 25‐km horizontal grid. The goal is to identify a reasonable configuration assemble of physical parameterization schemes for long‐term simulations through the sensitivity experiments of regional climate respond to microphysics, convection, and boundary layer processes. Compared to the observation data, all the groups mostly simulate the daily and seasonal variations of precipitation but with a shift from wet bias to dry bias based on the daily precipitation categories of the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM). The large‐scale precipitation caused by the microphysics schemes is 3–4 times the amount of precipitation caused by the subscale precipitation generated by the cumulus schemes. The simulated difference of the vertical temperature shows results similar to those of the surface air temperature. The microphysics schemes play the dominant role among the three physical options, and the Thompson scheme addresses better precipitation and surface temperature simulations in contrast to the WDM6 scheme. By combining with the bias, correlation and root‐mean‐square error (RMSE) between the reproduced temperature and precipitation, it can be concluded that the best optimal physical schemes combination is the Thompson–Tiedtke–YSU, which can be used for long‐term simulations.

Effects of Antibiotics on the Bacterial Community, Metabolic Functions and Antibiotic Resistance Genes in Mariculture Sediments during Enrichment Culturing - Meng-Qi Ye; Guan-Jun Chen; Zong-Jun Du (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2020)
The effect of antibiotics on the diversity and functioning of indigenous microorganisms in the environment has attracted much attention. In this study, effects of exposure to six different antibiotics on the bacterial community, metabolic functions and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in marine sediments during enrichment culturing were investigated. Classical culture-dependent method and high-throughput 16S rRNA gene sequencing method were both applied. In the culture-dependent analysis, the obtained 1549 isolates belonged to four phyla (Proteobacteria, Firmicutes, Bacteroidetes and Actinobacteria) and 155 genera. Proteobacteria and Firmicutes were the dominant phyla. The diversity and abundance of obtained bacteria after antibiotic processing exhibited different degrees of decrease. Enrichment culturing for different time could also affect the bacterial community composition. Some genera of bacteria were not isolated in the control group, but they could be isolated in the antibiotic-treated groups. In high-throughput 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing analyses, all the effective reads were clustered into 2822 OTUs at 97% similarity cutoff; they were annotated to 49 phyla, 103 class, 220 orders, 347 families, 624 genera and 1122 species. An alpha diversity analysis indicated that the community diversity and richness decreased under antibiotic exposure. The changes at the genus level were much more obvious. Only 48 genera of 129 genera were shared by all the samples. A total of 29 genera which were not detected in the initial control sample could be detected in at least one antibiotic-treated group. SIMPER analysis showed that OTU2543 and OTU1450 were the most common taxa to the dissimilarity of bacterial community between antibiotic-treated groups and the control group. OTU2034 and OUT2543 were the most contributive taxa to dissimilarity of groups incubating for different time. Metabolism was the predominant bacterial function. A total of 30 ARGs were detected in the samples. This study mainly focused on the changes of microbiota under the selective pressure of antibiotics for different time and the results demonstrated that the antibiotic could affect the bacterial diversity and richness in the marine ecosystem.

Responses of soil moisture to regional climate change over the Three Rivers Source Region on the Tibetan Plateau - Mingshan Deng; Xianhong Meng; Zhaoguo Li; Yaqiong Lyv; Huajin Lei; Lin Zhao; Shengnan Zhao; Jun Ge; Hui Jing (International Journal of Climatology, 2020)
In this study, soil moisture data from two reanalysis datasets (ERA‐Interim, ERA5), a satellite soil moisture product from the European Space Agency (ESA) and three assimilation datasets from the Global Land Data Assimilation System (GLDAS), that is, GLADS‐NOAH025, GLADS‐NOAH10, and GLDAS‐CLM were compared with the observed soil moisture data in Maqu and Maduo stations over the Three Rivers Source Region (TRSR) on the Tibetan Plateau in China. Comparative statistical parameters between the soil moisture observations and the products, including the root mean square error, correlation coefficient ( R ), and standard deviation ratio were calculated to evaluate the products in different seasons. It was found that most products overestimated the soil moisture values, among which GLADS‐NOAH025 had relatively good consistency with the observations in the surface soil layer (0–10 cm), whereas GLDAS‐CLM agreed well with the observations in the 10–40 cm layer. Both ERA5 and ERA‐interim soil moisture overestimated soil moisture at all levels. The responses of soil moisture to regional climate change over the TRSR were also investigated by using the GLDAS‐NOAH025 soil moisture product, the ESA soil moisture product, and the observations during the nonfreezing period. The results show that the trends of soil moisture are consistent with the precipitation changes in the main central part of the TRSR. A significant positive correlation was found between soil moisture and precipitation in most regions of the TRSR, which indicates that soil moisture increases with the increase of precipitation, except in the northwest TRSR, where the variation of soil moisture was possibly influenced by both the precipitation changes and the increase of evapotranspiration.

Finger Tapping Task Activation vs. TMS Hotspot: Different Locations and Networks - Jue Wang; Hai-Jiang Meng; Gong-Jun Ji; Ying Jing; Hong-Xiao Wang; Xin-Ping Deng; Zi-Jian Feng; Na Zhao; Yu-Feng Zang; Jian Zhang (Brain Topography, 2020)
Both functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) have been used to non-invasively localize the human motor functional area. These locations can be clinically used as stimulation target of TMS treatment. However, it has been reported that the finger tapping fMRI activation and TMS hotspot were not well-overlapped. The aim of the current study was to measure the distance between the finger tapping fMRI activation and the TMS hotspot, and more importantly, to compare the network difference by using resting-state fMRI. Thirty healthy participants underwent resting-state fMRI, task fMRI, and then TMS hotspot localization. We found significant difference of locations between finger tapping fMRI activation and TMS hotspot. Specifically, the finger tapping fMRI activation was more lateral than the TMS hotspot in the premotor area. The fMRI activation peak and TMS hotspot were taken as seeds for resting-state functional connectivity analyses. Compared with TMS hotspot, finger tapping fMRI activation peak showed more intensive functional connectivity with, e.g., the bilateral premotor, insula, putamen, and right globus pallidus. The findings more intensive networks of finger tapping activation than TMS hotspot suggest that TMS treatment targeting on the fMRI activation area might result in more remote effects and would be more helpful for TMS treatment on movement disorders.

Patterns and processes of free‐living and particle‐associated bacterioplankton and archaeaplankton communities in a subtropical river‐bay system in South China - Yongming Wang; Jie Pan; Jun Yang; Zhichao Zhou; Yueping Pan; Meng Li (Limnology and Oceanography, 2020)
Free‐living and particle‐associated microbial communities play critical roles in nutrient cycles in aquatic systems. However, little is known about their assembly process, function, and interactions. Here, by using 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing of size‐fractionated samples collected during the wet and dry seasons, we investigated the assembly processes and co‐occurrence patterns of bacterial and archaeal communities in the Shenzhen River‐Bay system, South China. The bacterial and archaeal communities showed specific distribution patterns according to the size fraction (free‐living vs. particle‐associated), habitat (river vs. estuary), and seasonality (wet vs. dry season). Neutral modeling revealed that the stochastic pattern was more pronounced for bacteria than archaea, although both deterministic and stochastic processes significantly influenced the assembly of bacterial and archaeal communities. Homogeneous selection had a relatively higher importance in structuring bacterioplankton in free‐living fractions, while this process was more important in structuring archaeaplankton in particle‐associated fractions. Aquatic microbial community composition and assembly processes were most strongly associated with salinity and water temperature. Network analysis for each size fraction of the plankton revealed higher connectivity in the particle‐associated communities than the free‐living communities for intra‐bacteria, inter‐bacteria/archaea, and intra‐archaea associations, accordingly, when nonlinear associations were considered. These findings expand the current understanding of the ecological mechanisms and Archaea‐Bacteria interactions, underlying the size‐fractionated plankton dynamics in the river‐bay system.

Climate‐related trends of actual evapotranspiration over the Tibetan Plateau (1961–2010) - Tangtang Zhang; Mekonnen Gebremichael; Xianhong Meng; Jun Wen; Mudassar Iqbal; Dongyu Jia; Ye Yu; Zhenchao Li (International Journal of Climatology, 2018)
Actual evapotranspiration (ET a ) is an important component of the hydrologic cycle. In this study, ET a on the Tibetan Plateau (TP) is calculated using the advection‐aridity model (AA model) with data from 86 meteorological stations during the period from 1961 to 2010. Results show that the mean annual ET a over the TP was 543 mm and range from 147 to 687 mm, with higher values in the southern part and lower values in the northern part of the TP. During 1961–2010, annual and seasonal mean ET a show statistically increasing trend at most all stations. Annual ET a in area‐averaged over the TP changed +1.01 mm year −1 . Among the four seasons, the changes were most pronounced in March, April, May (MAM) and June, July, August (JJA). ET a variation is significantly and positively correlated with a drought index, defined as the difference between precipitation ( P ) and potential evapotranspiration (ET p ), i.e. P − ET p , showing that the ET a increases over the TP tend to be affected by an increasing soil water supply associated with global warming, such as the retreat of permafrost, increase in P , and decline of ET p .

Key message A comprehensive linkage atlas for seed yield in rapeseed. Abstract Most agronomic traits of interest for crop improvement (including seed yield) are highly complex quantitative traits controlled by numerous genetic loci, which brings challenges for comprehensively capturing associated markers/genes. We propose that multiple trait interactions underlie complex traits such as seed yield, and that considering these component traits and their interactions can dissect individual quantitative trait loci (QTL) effects more effectively and improve yield predictions. Using a segregating rapeseed ( Brassica napus ) population, we analyzed a large set of trait data generated in 19 independent experiments to investigate correlations between seed yield and other complex traits, and further identified QTL in this population with a SNP-based genetic bin map. A total of 1904 consensus QTL accounting for 22 traits, including 80 QTL directly affecting seed yield, were anchored to the B. napus reference sequence. Through trait association analysis and QTL meta-analysis, we identified a total of 525 indivisible QTL that either directly or indirectly contributed to seed yield, of which 295 QTL were detected across multiple environments. A majority (81.5%) of the 525 QTL were pleiotropic. By considering associations between traits, we identified 25 yield-related QTL previously ignored due to contrasting genetic effects, as well as 31 QTL with minor complementary effects. Implementation of the 525 QTL in genomic prediction models improved seed yield prediction accuracy. Dissecting the genetic and phenotypic interrelationships underlying complex quantitative traits using this method will provide valuable insights for genomics-based crop improvement.
