Community structure of bacterioplankton and its relationship with environmental factors in the upper reaches of the Heihe River in Qinghai Plateau - Zhang Qian‐Qian; Jian Sheng‐Long; Li Ke‐Mao; Wu Zhen‐Bing; Guan Hong‐Tao; Hao Jin‐Wen; Wang Shu‐Yi; Lin Yao‐Yao; Wang Guo‐Jie; Li Ai‐Hua (Environmental Microbiology, 2021)
Summary Planktonic microorganisms play a key role in the biogeochemical processes of the aquatic system, and they may be affected by many factors. High‐throughput sequencing technology was used in this study to investigate and study the bacterioplankton community of water bodies in the upper reaches of the Heihe River Basin in Qinghai Plateau. Results showed that Proteobacteria, Firmicutes, Bacteroidetes and Actinobacteria are the predominant phyla in this river section, while the main genera are Thiomonas , Acidibacillus , Acidocella , Rhodanobacter , Acidithiobacter and Gallionella , which are autochthonous in the acid‐mine drainage. Additionally, total nitrogen, total phosphorus, permanganate index and pH are significantly correlated with the bacterioplankton abundance and are the main limiting factors for the spatial distribution of the bacterioplankton. PICRUSt inferred that the mainstream microbial assemblages had a higher abundance of KOs belong to metabolism of terpenoids and polyketides, while the tributary had higher abundance of KOs belong to the immune system. The relationship between bacterioplankton community composition and environmental factors in the Heihe River basin was discussed for the first time in this study, which provides a theoretical basis for the healthy, orderly development of the water environment in the Heihe River Basin.

Spinal CCL2 Promotes Pain Sensitization by Rapid Enhancement of NMDA-Induced Currents Through the ERK-GluN2B Pathway in Mouse Lamina II Neurons - Hui Zhang; Sui-Bin Ma; Yong-Jing Gao; Jun-Ling Xing; Hang Xian; Zhen-Zhen Li; Shu-Ning Shen; Sheng-Xi Wu; Ceng Luo; Rou-Gang Xie (Neuroscience Bulletin, 2020)
Previous studies have shown that CCL2 (C–C motif chemokine ligand 2) induces chronic pain, but the exact mechanisms are still unknown. Here, we established models to explore the potential mechanisms. Behavioral experiments revealed that an antagonist of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) inhibited not only CCL2-induced inflammatory pain, but also pain responses induced by complete Freund’s adjuvant. We posed the question of the intracellular signaling cascade involved. Subsequent experiments showed that CCL2 up-regulated the expression of phosphorylated ERK (pERK) and N-methyl D-aspartate receptor [NMDAR] subtype 2B (GluN2B); meanwhile, antagonists of CCR2 and ERK effectively reversed these phenomena. Whole-cell patch-clamp recordings revealed that CCL2 enhanced the NMDAR-induced currents via activating the pERK pathway, which was blocked by antagonists of GluN2B and ERK. In summary, we demonstrate that CCL2 directly interacts with CCR2 to enhance NMDAR-induced currents, eventually leading to inflammatory pain mainly through the CCL2–CCR2–pERK–GluN2B pathway.

Alpine grassland plants grow earlier and faster but biomass remains unchanged over 35 years of climate change - Hao Wang; Huiying Liu; Guangmin Cao; Zhiyuan Ma; Yikang Li; Fawei Zhang; Xia Zhao; Xinquan Zhao; Lin Jiang; Nathan J. Sanders; Aimée T. Classen; Jin‐Sheng He (Ecology Letters, 2020)
Satellite data indicate significant advancement in alpine spring phenology over decades of climate warming, but corresponding field evidence is scarce. It is also unknown whether this advancement results from an earlier shift of phenological events, or enhancement of plant growth under unchanged phenological pattern. By analyzing a 35‐year dataset of seasonal biomass dynamics of a Tibetan alpine grassland, we show that climate change promoted both earlier phenology and faster growth, without changing annual biomass production. Biomass production increased in spring due to a warming‐induced earlier onset of plant growth, but decreased in autumn due mainly to increased water stress. Plants grew faster but the fast‐growing period shortened during the mid‐growing season. These findings provide the first in situ evidence of long‐term changes in growth patterns in alpine grassland plant communities, and suggest that earlier phenology and faster growth will jointly contribute to plant growth in a warming climate.

The Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) Flexible Global Ocean–Atmosphere–Land System (FGOALS-f3-L) model datasets prepared for the sixth phase of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP6) Global Monsoons Model Intercomparison Project (GMMIP) Tier-1 and Tier-3 experiments are introduced in this paper, and the model descriptions, experimental design and model outputs are demonstrated. There are three simulations in Tier-1, with different initial states, and five simulations in Tier-3, with different topographies or surface thermal status. Specifically, Tier-3 contains four orographic perturbation experiments that remove the Tibetan–Iranian Plateau, East African and Arabian Peninsula highlands, Sierra Madre, and Andes, and one thermal perturbation experiment that removes the surface sensible heating over the Tibetan–Iranian Plateau and surrounding regions at altitudes above 500 m. These datasets will contribute to CMIP6’s value as a benchmark to evaluate the importance of long-term and short-term trends of the sea surface temperature in monsoon circulations and precipitation, and to a better understanding of the orographic impact on the global monsoon system over highlands.

Climate warming alters subsoil but not topsoil carbon dynamics in alpine grassland - Juan Jia; Zhenjiao Cao; Chengzhu Liu; Zhenhua Zhang; Li Lin; Yiyun Wang; Negar Haghipour; Lukas Wacker; Hongyan Bao; Thorston Dittmar; Myrna J. Simpson; Huan Yang; et al. (Global Change Biology, 2019)
Subsoil contains more than half of soil organic carbon (SOC) globally and is conventionally assumed to be relatively unresponsive to warming compared to the topsoil. Here, we show substantial changes in carbon allocation and dynamics of the subsoil but not topsoil in the Qinghai‐Tibetan alpine grasslands over 5 years of warming. Specifically, warming enhanced the accumulation of newly synthesized ( 14 C‐enriched) carbon in the subsoil slow‐cycling pool (silt‐clay fraction) but promoted the decomposition of plant‐derived lignin in the fast‐cycling pool (macroaggregates). These changes mirrored an accumulation of lipids and sugars at the expense of lignin in the warmed bulk subsoil, likely associated with shortened soil freezing period and a deepening root system. As warming is accompanied by deepening roots in a wide range of ecosystems, root‐driven accrual of slow‐cycling pool may represent an important and overlooked mechanism for a potential long‐term carbon sink at depth. Moreover, given the contrasting sensitivity of SOC dynamics at varied depths, warming studies focusing only on surface soils may vastly misrepresent shifts in ecosystem carbon storage under climate change.

Widespread occurrence and unexpected diversity of red‐shifted chlorophyll producing cyanobacteria in humid subtropical forest ecosystems - Zhong‐Chun Zhang; Zheng‐Ke Li; Yan‐Chao Yin; Yaqiong Li; Yu Jia; Min Chen; Bao‐Sheng Qiu (Environmental Microbiology, 2019)
Summary Discovery of red‐shifted chlorophyll d and f in cyanobacteria has opened up new avenues to estimate global carbon fixation driven by far‐red light. Shaded habitats in humid subtropical forest ecosystems contain an increased proportion of far‐red light components relative to residual white light. After an extensive survey of shaded ecosystems within subtropical forests, wide occurrence of red‐shifted chlorophyll‐producing cyanobacteria was demonstrated by isolated Chl f ‐producing and Chl d ‐containing cyanobacteria. Chl f ‐producing cyanobacteria were classified into the genera of Aphanocapsa and Chroococcidiopsis and two undescribed genera within Leptolyngbyaceae . Newly isolated Chl d ‐containing Acaryochloris sp. CCNUM4 showed the closest phylogenetic relationship with Acaryochloris species isolated from marine environments. Acaryochloris sp. CCNUM4 produced Chl d as major photopigment, and Chl f ‐producing cyanobacteria use Chl a under white light conditions but Chl a + f under far‐red light conditions. Their habitats are widely distributed in subtropical forest ecosystems and varied from mosses on limestone to macrophyte and freshwater in the streams and ponds. This study presents a significant advance in the knowledge of distribution and diversity of red‐shifted chlorophyll‐producing cyanobacteria in terrestrial ecosystems. The results suggest that Chl f ‐producing and Chl d ‐containing cyanobacteria might be important primary producers in far‐red light dominant niches worldwide.

Hess; Bao‐Sheng Qiu (Environmental Microbiology, 2019)
Summary The cyanobacterium Nostoc flagelliforme is an extremophile that thrives under extraordinary desiccation and ultraviolet (UV) radiation conditions. To investigate its survival strategies, we performed whole‐genome sequencing of N. flagelliforme CCNUN1 and transcriptional profiling of its field populations upon rehydration in BG11 medium. The genome of N. flagelliforme is 10.23 Mb in size and contains 10 825 predicted protein‐encoding genes, making it one of the largest complete genomes of cyanobacteria reported to date. Comparative genomics analysis among 20 cyanobacterial strains revealed that genes related to DNA replication, recombination and repair had disproportionately high contributions to the genome expansion. The ability of N. flagelliforme to thrive under extreme abiotic stresses is supported by the acquisition of genes involved in the protection of photosynthetic apparatus, the formation of monounsaturated fatty acids, responses to UV radiation, and a peculiar role of ornithine metabolism. Transcriptome analysis revealed a distinct acclimation strategy to rehydration, including the strong constitutive expression of genes encoding photosystem I assembly factors and the involvement of post‐transcriptional control mechanisms of photosynthetic resuscitation. Our results provide insights into the adaptive mechanisms of subaerial cyanobacteria in their harsh habitats and have important implications to understand the evolutionary transition of cyanobacteria from aquatic environments to terrestrial ecosystems.

Aim To examine the contribution of large‐diameter trees to biomass, stand structure, and species richness across forest biomes. Location Global. Time period Early 21st century. Major taxa studied Woody plants. Methods We examined the contribution of large trees to forest density, richness and biomass using a global network of 48 large (from 2 to 60 ha) forest plots representing 5,601,473 stems across 9,298 species and 210 plant families. This contribution was assessed using three metrics: the largest 1% of trees ≥ 1 cm diameter at breast height (DBH), all trees ≥ 60 cm DBH, and those rank‐ordered largest trees that cumulatively comprise 50% of forest biomass. Results Averaged across these 48 forest plots, the largest 1% of trees ≥ 1 cm DBH comprised 50% of aboveground live biomass, with hectare‐scale standard deviation of 26%. Trees ≥ 60 cm DBH comprised 41% of aboveground live tree biomass. The size of the largest trees correlated with total forest biomass ( r 2 = .62, p r 2 = .45, p r 2 = .33, p r 2 = .17, p = .002). The concentration of biomass in the largest 1% of trees declined with increasing absolute latitude ( r 2 = .46, p r 2 = .31, p r 2 = .26, p Main conclusions Because large‐diameter trees constitute roughly half of the mature forest biomass worldwide, their dynamics and sensitivities to environmental change represent potentially large controls on global forest carbon cycling. We recommend managing forests for conservation of existing large‐diameter trees or those that can soon reach large diameters as a simple way to conserve and potentially enhance ecosystem services.

The key gluconeogenic gene PCK1 is crucial for virulence of Botrytis cinerea via initiating its conidial germination and host penetration - Jian‐Kang Liu; Hao‐Wu Chang; Yue Liu; Yu (Haity) Qin; Yu‐Han Ding; Lan Wang; Yue Zhao; Ming‐Zhe Zhang; Sheng‐Nan Cao; Le‐Tao Li; Wei Liu; Gui‐Hua Li; et al. (Environmental Microbiology, 2018)
Summary The process of initiation of host invasion and survival of some foliar phytopathogenic fungi in the absence of external nutrients on host leaf surfaces remains obscure. Here, we demonstrate that gluconeogenesis plays an important role in the process and nutrient‐starvation adaptation before the pathogen host invasion. Deletion of phosphoenolpyruvate c arboxy k inase gene BcPCK1 in gluconeogenesis in Botrytis cinerea , the causative agent of grey mould, resulted in the failure of the Δ Bcpck1 mutant conidia to germinate on hard and hydrophobic surface and penetrate host cells in the absence of glucose, reduction in conidiation and slow conidium germination in a nutrient‐rich medium. The wild‐type and Δ Bcpck1 conidia germinate similarly in the presence of glucose (higher concentration) as the sole carbon source. Conidial glucose‐content should reach a threshold level to initiate germination and host penetration. Infection structure formation by the mutants displayed a glucose‐dependent fashion, which corresponded to the mutant virulence reduction. Exogenous glucose or complementation of BcPCK1 completely rescued all the developmental and virulence defects of the mutants. Our findings demonstrate that BcPCK1 plays a crucial role in B. cinerea pathogenic growth and virulence, and provide new insights into gluconeogenesis mediating pathogenesis of plant fungal pathogens via initiation of conidial germination and host penetration.

The pre‐rRNA processing factor Nop53 regulates fungal development and pathogenesis via mediating production of reactive oxygen species - Sheng‐Nan Cao; Ye Yuan; Yu (Haity) Qin; Ming‐Zhe Zhang; Paul de Figueiredo; Gui‐Hua Li; Qing‐Ming Qin (Environmental Microbiology, 2018)
Summary Botrytis cinerea is a necrotrophic plant fungal pathogen that annually causes enormous economic losses worldwide. The ribosome is an organelle for cellular protein biosynthesis. However, little is known about how the ribosome operates as a machine to mediate microbial pathogenesis. Here, we demonstrate that Nop53, a late‐acting factor for 60S ribosomal subunit maturation, is crucial for the pathogen's development and virulence. BcNop53 is functionally equivalent to yeast nop53p. Complementation of BcNOP53 completely restored the growth defect of the yeast Δ nop53 mutant. BcNop53 is located in nuclei and disruption of BcNOP53 also dramatically impaired pathogen growth. Deletion of BcNOP53 blocked infection structure formation and abolished virulence of the pathogen, possibly due to reduced production of reactive oxygen species. Moreover, loss of BcNOP53 impaired pathogen conidiation and stress adaptation, altered conidial and sclerotial morphology, retarded conidium and sclerotium germination as well as reduced the activities of cell‐wall degradation‐associated enzymes. Sclerotium production was, however, increased. Complementation with the wild‐type BcNOP53 allele rescued defects found in the Δ Bcnop53 mutant. Our work establishes a systematic elucidation of Nop53 in regulating microbial development and pathogenesis, provides novel insights into ribosomal processes that regulate fungal pathogenesis, and may open up new targets for addressing fungal diseases.

Summary The small‐molecule sunscreen compounds, mycosporine‐like amino acids (MAAs), have strong ultraviolet (UV) absorption and can protect cyanobacteria against UV‐B damage. However, the molecular mechanism underlying UV‐B signaling and MAA chemical diversity remain largely unclear. Here, we identified a five‐gene cluster for MAA biosynthesis in the solar radiation and desiccation tolerant cyanobacterium Nostoc flagelliforme . A LuxR family protein OrrA was identified as a positive UV‐B responsive regulator binding to the promoter region of this gene cluster. OrrA functions as an activator mediating the UV‐B induced MAA biosynthesis. Overexpression of orrA strengthened its UV‐B tolerance during desiccation, and enhanced the photosynthetic recovery upon rehydration. Heterologous expression of this gene cluster in Anabaena PCC 7120 produces the same MAA as that in field samples of N . flagelliforme . The MAA structure is assigned as mycosporine‐2‐(4‐deoxygadusolyl‐ornithine) with a molecular weight of 756 Da, the structurally unique MAA compound reported to date. This MAA was catalyzed by mysD‐mysC2‐mysC1 encoding proteins from 4‐deoxygadusol, which was synthesized through the catalysis of mysA‐mysB products. Thus, we elucidated the transcriptional mechanism for a novel type MAA biosynthesis in solar radiation and desiccation tolerant cyanobacteria, which shed light on the identification of other components for UV‐B signaling in cyanobacteria.

Molecular adaptation in the world's deepest‐living animal: Insights from transcriptome sequencing of the hadal amphipod Hirondellea gigas - Yi Lan; Jin Sun; Renmao Tian; Douglas H. Bartlett; Runsheng Li; Yue Him Wong; Weipeng Zhang; Jian‐Wen Qiu; Ting Xu; Li‐Sheng He; Harry G. Tabata; Pei‐Yuan Qian (Molecular Ecology, 2017)
The Challenger Deep in the Mariana Trench is the deepest point in the oceans of our planet. Understanding how animals adapt to this harsh environment characterized by high hydrostatic pressure, food limitation, dark and cold is of great scientific interest. Of the animals dwelling in the Challenger Deep, amphipods have been captured using baited traps. In this study, we sequenced the transcriptome of the amphipod Hirondellea gigas collected at a depth of 10,929 m from the East Pond of the Challenger Deep. Assembly of these sequences resulted in 133,041 contigs and 22,046 translated proteins. Functional annotation of these contigs was made using the go and kegg databases. Comparison of these translated proteins with those of four shallow‐water amphipods revealed 10,731 gene families, of which 5659 were single‐copy orthologs. Base substitution analysis on these single‐copy orthologs showed that 62 genes are positively selected in H. gigas , including genes related to β‐alanine biosynthesis, energy metabolism and genetic information processing. For multiple‐copy orthologous genes, gene family expansion analysis revealed that cold‐inducible proteins (i.e., transcription factors II A and transcription elongation factor 1) as well as zinc finger domains are expanded in H. gigas . Overall, our results indicate that genetic adaptation to the hadal environment by H. gigas may be mediated by both gene family expansion and amino acid substitutions of specific proteins.

Two eisosome proteins play opposite roles in autophagic control and sustain cell integrity, function and pathogenicity in Beauveria bassiana - Long‐Bin Zhang; Li Tang; Sheng‐Hua Ying; Ming‐Guang Feng (Environmental Microbiology, 2017)
Summary Pil1A and Pil1B are two core eisosome proteins that are homologous to yeast Pil1/Lsp1 or filamentous fungal Pil1A/Pil1B but have been unexplored in entomopathogenic fungi. Here we examined subcellular localization and functions of Pil1A and Pil1B in Beauveria bassiana , a fungal insect pathogen. Either localization or co‐localization experiments of the two proteins demonstrated that Pil1A and Pil1B were simultaneously localized at the periphery of hyphal cells for formation of stable, punctuate spots in B. bassiana . This is different from a reliance of proper Lsp1/Pil1B localization upon Pil1/Pil1A in other fungi. Deletions of pil1A and pil1B caused opposite changes in expression of many autophagy‐related genes and formation of intravacuolar autophagosomes. Such opposite changes were restored to nearly normal status by exogenous rapamycin, implicating a link of Pil1A/B to the target of rapamycin signalling pathway. All single/double deletion mutants of pil1A and pil1B lost almost all pathogenicity due to reduced ability to secrete Pr1 proteases for cuticle degradation. They also showed differential changes in cell wall integrity and multiple stress responses. These findings unveil opposite roles for Pil1A and Pil1B in autophagic regulation and an essentiality of both for cell integrity, function and pathogenicity of the fungal entomopathogen.

The chimeric nature of the genomes of marine magnetotactic coccoid‐ovoid bacteria defines a novel group of P roteobacteria - Boyang Ji; Sheng‐Da Zhang; Wei‐Jia Zhang; Zoe Rouy; François Alberto; Claire‐Lise Santini; Sophie Mangenot; Séverine Gagnot; Nadège Philippe; Nathalie Pradel; Lichen Zhang; Sébastien Tempel; et al.

Summary Magnetotactic bacteria (MTB) are a group of phylogenetically and physiologically diverse Gram‐negative bacteria that synthesize intracellular magnetic crystals named magnetosomes. MTB are affiliated with three classes of Proteobacteria phylum, Nitrospirae phylum, Omnitrophica phylum and probably with the candidate phylum Latescibacteria. The evolutionary origin and physiological diversity of MTB compared with other bacterial taxonomic groups remain to be illustrated. Here, we analysed the genome of the marine magneto‐ovoid strain MO‐1 and found that it is closely related to Magnetococcus marinus MC‐1. Detailed analyses of the ribosomal proteins and whole proteomes of 390 genomes reveal that, among the Proteobacteria analysed, only MO‐1 and MC‐1 have coding sequences (CDSs) with a similarly high proportion of origins from Alphaproteobacteria , Betaproteobacteria , Deltaproteobacteria and Gammaproteobacteria . Interestingly, a comparative metabolic network analysis with anoxic network enzymes from sequenced MTB and non‐MTB successfully allows the eventual prediction of an organism with a metabolic profile compatible for magnetosome production. Altogether, our genomic analysis reveals multiple origins of MO‐1 and M. marinus MC‐1 genomes and suggests a metabolism‐restriction model for explaining whether a bacterium could become an MTB upon acquisition of magnetosome encoding genes.

Genomic characterization of symbiotic mycoplasmas from the stomach of deep‐sea isopod bathynomus sp - Yong Wang; Jiao‐Mei Huang; Shao‐Lu Wang; Zhao‐Ming Gao; Ai‐Qun Zhang; Antoine Danchin; Li‐Sheng He (Environmental Microbiology, 2016)
Deep‐sea isopod scavengers such as Bathynomus sp. are able to live in nutrient‐poor environments, which is likely attributable to the presence of symbiotic microbes in their stomach. In this study we recovered two draft genomes of mycoplasmas, Bg1 and Bg2, from the metagenomes of the stomach contents and stomach sac of a Bathynomus sp. sample from the South China Sea (depth of 898 m). Phylogenetic trees revealed a considerable genetic distance to other mycoplasma species for Bg1 and Bg2. Compared with terrestrial symbiotic mycoplasmas, the Bg1 and Bg2 genomes were enriched with genes encoding phosphoenolpyruvate‐dependent phosphotransferase systems (PTSs) and sodium‐driven symporters responsible for the uptake of sugars, amino acids and other carbohydrates. The genome of mycoplasma Bg1 contained sialic acid lyase and transporter genes, potentially enabling the bacteria to attach to the stomach sac and obtain organic carbons from various cell walls. Both of the mycoplasma genomes contained multiple copies of genes related to proteolysis and oligosaccharide degradation, which may help the host survive in low‐nutrient conditions. The discovery of the different types of mycoplasma bacteria in the stomach of this deep‐sea isopod affords insights into symbiotic model of deep‐sea animals and genomic plasticity of mycoplasma bacteria.
