Controlling pathogenic risks of water treatment biotechnologies at the source by genetic editing means - Jie Wu; Dong‐Feng Liu; Hui‐Hui Li; Di Min; Jia‐Qi Liu; Peng Xu; Wen‐Wei Li; Han‐Qing Yu; Yong‐Guan Zhu (Environmental Microbiology, 2021)
Summary Antimicrobial‐resistant pathogens in the environment and wastewater treatment systems, many of which are also important pollutant degraders and are difficult to control by traditional disinfection approaches, have become an unprecedented treat to ecological security and human health. Here, we propose the adoption of genetic editing techniques as a highly targeted, efficient and simple tool to control the risks of environmental pathogens at the source. An ‘all‐in‐one’ plasmid system was constructed in Aeromonas hydrophila to accurately identify and selectively inactivate multiple key virulence factor genes and antibiotic resistance genes via base editing, enabling significantly suppressed bacterial virulence and resistance without impairing their normal phenotype and pollutant‐degradation functions. Its safe application for bioaugmented treatment of synthetic textile wastewater was also demonstrated. This genetic‐editing technique may offer a promising solution to control the health risks of environmental microorganisms via targeted gene inactivation, thereby facilitating safer application of water treatment biotechnologies.

Dynamic evolution of eukaryotic mitochondrial and nuclear genomes: a case study in the gourmet pine mushroom Tricholoma matsutake - Shu Zhang; Xue Bai; Li‐Yuan Ren; Hui‐Hui Sun; Hui‐Ping Tang; Lu‐Min Vaario; Jianping Xu; Yong‐Jie Zhang (Environmental Microbiology, 2021)
Summary Fungi, as eukaryotic organisms, contain two genomes, the mitochondrial genome and the nuclear genome, in their cells. How the two genomes evolve and correlate to each other is debated. Herein, taking the gourmet pine mushroom Tricholoma matsutake as an example, we performed comparative mitogenomic analysis using samples collected from diverse locations and compared the evolution of the two genomes. The T. matsutake mitogenome encodes 49 genes and is rich of repetitive and non‐coding DNAs. Six genes were invaded by up to 11 group I introns, with one cox1 intron cox1P372 showing presence/absence dynamics among different samples. Bioinformatic analyses suggested limited or no evidence of mitochondrial heteroplasmy. Interestingly, hundreds of mitochondrial DNA fragments were found in the nuclear genome, with several larger than 500 nt confirmed by PCR assays and read count comparisons, indicating clear evidence of transfer of mitochondrial DNA into the nuclear genome. Nuclear DNA of T. matsutake showed a higher mutation rate than mitochondrial DNA. Furthermore, we found evidence of incongruence between phylogenetic trees derived from mitogenome and nuclear DNA sequences. Together, our results reveal the dynamic genome evolution of the gourmet pine mushroom.

MmbR , a master transcription regulator that controls fatty acid β‐oxidation genes in Mycolicibacterium smegmatis - Hui Xu; Zhi Su; Weihui Li; Yimin Deng; Zheng‐Guo He (Environmental Microbiology, 2021)
Summary An unusually high lipid content and a complex lipid profile are the most distinctive features of the mycobacterial cell envelope. However, our understanding of the regulatory mechanism underlying mycobacterial lipid metabolism is limited, and the major regulators responsible for lipid homeostasis remain to be characterized. Here, we identified MmbR as a novel master regulator that is essential for maintaining lipid homeostasis in Mycolicibacterium smegmatis . We found that MmbR controls fatty acid β‐oxidation and modulates biofilm formation in Mycolicibacterium smegmatis . Although MmbR possesses the properties of nucleoid‐associated proteins, it acts as a TetR‐like transcription factor, directly regulating and intensively repressing the expression of a group of core genes involved in fatty acid β‐oxidation. Furthermore, both long‐chain acyl‐Coenzyme A and fatty acids appear to regulate the signal molecules modulated by MmbR. The deletion of mmbR led to a significant reduction in intracellular fatty acid content and a decrease in the relative lipid composition of the biofilm. The lack of mmbR led to morphological changes in the mycobacterial colony, defects in biofilm formation and enhanced sensitivity to anti‐tuberculosis drugs. Our study is the first to establish a link between the transcriptional regulation of fatty acid β‐oxidation genes and lipid homeostasis in mycobacteria.

Background Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is a crucial medical issue worldwide. The dependence of HBV replication on host cell machineries and their co-evolutionary interactions prompt the codon usage pattern of viral genes to translation selection and mutation pressure. Objective The evolutionary characteristics of HBV and the natural selection effects of the human genome on the codon usage characteristics were analyzed to provide a basis for medication development for HBV infection. Methods The codon usage pattern of sequences from different HBV genotypes of our isolates and reference HBV genome sequences downloaded from the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) database were analyzed by computing the relative synonymous codon usage (RSCU), nucleotide content, codon adaptation index (CAI) and the effective number of codons (ENC). Results The highest ENC values were observed in the C genotypes, followed by the B genotypes. The ENC values indicated a weak codon usage bias (CUB) in HBV genome. The number of codons differentially used between the three genotypes was markedly higher than that of similarly used codons. High CAI values indicated a good adaptability of HBV to its host. The ENC plot indicated the occurrence of mutational pressure in the three genotypes. The mean Ka/Ks ratios in the three genotypes were lower than 1, which indicated a negative selection pressure. The CAI and GC3% plot indicated the existence of CUB in the HBV genome. Conclusions Nucleotide composition, mutation bias, negative selection and mutational pressure are key factors influencing the CUB and phylogenetic diversity in HBV genotypes. The data provided here could be useful for developing drugs for HBV infection.

Identification and validation of reference genes for real-time RT-PCR in Aphelenchoides besseyi - Junyi Li; Zixu Zhang; Chunling Xu; Dongwei Wang; Mei Lv; Hui Xie (Molecular Biology Reports, 2020)
Fragments of four candidate reference genes of Aphelenchoides besseyi , including actin , glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase ( GAPDH ) , ubiquitin conjugating-3 enzyme ( UBC ) and alpha-tubulin ( α-tubulin ) were cloned from the transcriptome database of A . besseyi . The expression level of these four candidate reference genes and a commonly used reference gene of A. besseyi ( 18S rRNA ) in three experimental conditions, including the four life stages (female, male, juvenile and egg) of two populations and the mixed-stage nematodes of four populations with different origins and hosts were analyzed by RT-qPCR. The expression stability of the five candidate reference genes under the three experimental conditions was analyzed by ΔCt, geNorm, NormFinder and RefFinder respectively. The analysis results of ΔCt, geNorm, NormFinder and RefFinder all indicated that UBC was the gene with the highest average ranking of stability. In conclusion, the expression stability of UBC was optimal under the three experimental conditions, indicating that UBC could be used as a suitable reference gene instead of 18S rRNA in the RT-qPCR analysis for A. besseyi.

Potential Genes Related to Levofloxacin Resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis Based on Transcriptome and Methylome Overlap Analysis - Hai-cheng Li; Hui-xin Guo; Tao Chen; Wei Wang; Zhu-hua Wu; Liang Chen; Hui-zhong Wu; Gao-po Xu; Xun-xun Chen; Lin Zhou (Journal of Molecular Evolution, 2020)
Drug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis ( M. tuberculosis ) has become an increasingly serious public health problem and has complicated tuberculosis (TB) treatment. Levofloxacin (LOF) is an ideal anti-tuberculosis drug in clinical applications. However, the detailed molecular mechanisms of LOF-resistant M. tuberculosis in TB treatment have not been revealed. Our study performed transcriptome and methylome sequencing to investigate the potential biological characteristics of LOF resistance in M. tuberculosis H37Rv. In the transcriptome analysis, 953 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified; 514 and 439 DEGs were significantly downregulated and upregulated in the LOF-resistant group and control group, respectively. The KEGG pathway analysis revealed that 97 pathways were enriched in this study. In the methylome analysis, 239 differentially methylated genes (DMGs) were identified; 150 and 89 DMGs were hypomethylated and hypermethylated in the LOF-resistant group and control group, respectively. The KEGG pathway analysis revealed that 74 pathways were enriched in this study. The overlap study suggested that 25 genes were obtained. It was notable that nine genes expressed downregulated mRNA and upregulated methylated levels, including pgi , fadE4 , php , cyp132 , pckA , rpmB1 , pfkB , acg , and ctpF , especially cyp132 , pckA , and pfkB , which were vital in LOF-resistant M. tuberculosis H37Rv. The overlapping genes between transcriptome and methylome could be essential for studying the molecular mechanisms of LOF-resistant M. tuberculosis H37Rv. These results may provide informative evidence for TB treatment with LOF.

Reduced redox‐dependent mechanism and glucose‐mediated reversal in gentamicin‐resistant Vibrio alginolyticus - Song Zhang; Jie Wang; Ming Jiang; Di Xu; Bo Peng; Xuan‐xian Peng; Hui Li (Environmental Microbiology, 2019)
Summary Strategy of managing antibiotic‐resistant Vibrio alginolyticus , a bacterial pathogen that threatens human health and animal farming, is not available due to the lack of knowledge about the underlying mechanism of antibiotic resistance. Here, we showed that gentamicin‐resistant V . alginolyticus (VA‐R GEN ) has four mutations on metabolism and one mutation on a two‐component system by whole‐genome and PCR‐based sequencing, indicating the metabolic shift in VA‐R GEN. Thus, metabolic profile was investigated by GC–MS based metabolomics. Glucose was identified as a crucial biomarker, whose abundance was decreased in VA‐R GEN . Further analysis with iPath, and gene expression and enzyme activity of the pyruvate cycle (the P cycle) demonstrated a global depressed metabolic pathway network in VA‐R GEN . Consistently, NADH, sodium‐pumping NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase (Na(+)‐NQR) system, membrane potential and intracellular gentamicin were decreased in VA‐R GEN . These findings indicate that the reduced redox state contributes to antibiotic resistance. Interestingly, exogenous glucose potentiated gentamicin to efficiently kill VA‐R GEN through the promotion of the P cycle, NADH, membrane potential and intracellular gentamicin. The potentiation was further confirmed in a zebrafish model. These results indicate that the gentamicin resistance reduces the P cycle and Na(+)‐NQR system and thereby decreases redox state, membrane potential and gentamicin uptake, which can be reversed by exogenous glucose.

At the end of the rainy season in 2016 and at the end of the dry season in 2017, we conducted a floristic study of marine macrophytic algae in the intertidal and subtidal zones in moderately and heavily polluted areas at Luhuitou reef, Sanya Bay, Hainan Island, China. A total of 109 species of marine macrophytes were found during these samplings. At the end of the rainy season, 72 species of macrophytes (50% reds, 19% browns, and 31% greens) were found. At the end of the dry season, we found and identified 92 species of macrophytes (46% reds, 20% browns, and 34% greens). Seasonal changes in species diversity, species composition, and the structure of algal communities at differently polluted sites exhibited common features as well as specific characteristics. By the end of the dry season, the diversity of macroalgal species was increased, and the composition of dominant and accompanying species of macrophytes in polydominant communities was changed in moderately and heavily polluted areas. Seasonal changes in the marine flora of differently polluted areas were characterized by specific features as follows: Less changes in species diversity of heavily polluted area compared with moderately polluted area during the change from the rainy season to the dry season; significant increase in the biomass of green algae and their projective coverage in the middle and low intertidal zones of heavily polluted sites in the dry season; and the increase in the numbers of mono- and bidominant communities in the middle and low intertidal zones of heavily polluted sites by the end of the dry season.

Tropopause trend across China from 1979 to 2016: A revisit with updated radiosonde measurements - Xinyan Chen; Jianping Guo; Jinfang Yin; Yong Zhang; Yucong Miao; Yuxing Yun; Lin Liu; Jian Li; Hui Xu; Kaixi Hu; Panmao Zhai (International Journal of Climatology, 2019)
The long‐term trend in tropopause has profound implications for the expansion of tropical zone and the variation of large‐scale circulation. However, the changes of tropopause in China have not been explicitly investigated as yet. In this study, the trend of lapse rate tropopause (LRT) height over China has been comprehensively revisited for the period of 1979–2016, using the newly released quality‐controlled radiosonde data from China Meteorological Administration. Results show that the LRT height in most parts of China shows a significant upwards trend with a rate of 370 m/decade, most likely due to global warming. The fastest increase occurs in northwest region, followed by the low‐latitude regions (15°–25°N), while the slowest increase occurs in the high‐latitude regions (45°–55°N). Overall, the LRT height varies with latitudes, exhibiting a “south high and north low” pattern. In particular, high LRT height over low latitudes is found to be expanding rapidly polewards in recent years, in contrast to almost constant LRT height over mid and high latitudes. In terms of the seasonality, tropopause height reaches the peak in summer and bottom in winter. The frequency distribution in the vertical direction exhibits a bimodal pattern with the major peak mostly occurring at around 15 km and a secondary peak occurring between 8 and 12 km. This bimodal distribution is similar to the findings revealed in previous studies. Our findings offer important circumstantial observational evidence for the polewards expansion of the Tropics under global warming.

The relative importance of space compared to topography increases from rare to common tree species across latitude - Yue‐Hua Hu; Daniel J. Johnson; Xiang‐Cheng Mi; Xu‐Gao Wang; Wan‐Hui Ye; Yi‐De Li; Ju‐Yu Lian; Min Cao (Journal of Biogeography, 2018)
Aim Understanding how spatial distributions of rare and common species are associated with environmental and spatial processes is essential to understanding community assembly. We addressed the following questions: (a) does the relative importance of space and topography vary from rare to common tree species? (b) Are the contributions of topography and space equal? (c) Are the variances explained by topography or space correlated with elevational ranges (ER) at the local scale? (d) Does cell‐size influence those postulated associations? Location China and the Americas. Major taxa studied Tree species. Methods We partitioned the variation in species richness and composition of rare and common tree species by topography and space across a range of extents and grain sizes in eight communities. We calculated contribution ratio ( CR ) between space and topography to quantify their relative importance. We employed Kendall's rank correlation to determine the relation between CR and commonness. Mixed effect models were used to identify the influence of cell‐size on the results. Results The majority of CR values were positively related to increasing commonness, especially for composition. The explained variances by space were always higher than that by topography regardless of commonness. At local scale, variances explained by space or topography were not correlated with ER. Main conclusions Our results indicate that the relative importance of space compared to topography increases from rare to common species across forests. We suggest that future studies of community assembly need to account for both space and topography to adequately describe differences in rare and common species assembly mechanisms at range of spatial extents and grain sizes.

Survival rate and population size of Indo‐Pacific humpback dolphins ( Sousa chinensis ) in Xiamen Bay, China - Bingyao Chen; Huili Gao; Thomas A. Jefferson; Yi Lu; Lin Wang; Shanshan Li; Hui Wang; Xinrong Xu; Guang Yang (Marine Mammal Science, 2018)
The survival rate and population size of Indo‐Pacific humpback dolphins ( Sousa chinensis ) in Xiamen, China, were estimated from vessel‐based surveys during 2007–2010. Over the course of 202 d (881.1 observation hours), 76 groups were observed, and 52 dolphins were successfully identified. The Cormack‐Jolly‐Seber model estimated a constant apparent survival of 0.948 (95% CI: 0.922–0.966). Based on the open/POPAN model, the population size was estimated at 70 individuals (95% CI: 63–88). To explore the effect of uneven yearly survey effort, we pooled the data with seven sampling occasions with similar effort. This data set generated similar results of a constant survival of 0.957 (95% CI: 0.918–0.978) and population size of 72 (95% CI: 65–88). The small population size of the Xiamen humpback dolphins satisfies the Critically Endangered criterion of IUCN (D), and emphasizes urgency of the need for protection of the population. Improved monitoring efforts should be focused on enhancing our understanding of current status and evaluating impacts of all anthropogenic activities. A conservation plan for the population should also be drawn up.

Declining hailstorm frequency in China during 1961–2015 and its potential influential factors - Wenhui Zhao; Jianping Guo; Zhanyu Yao; Yuxing Yun; Shuo Jia; Weijian Wang; Pei Zhang; Hui Xu; Huan Liu; Liangshu Gao; Yanluan Lin; Mingxin Li; et al. (International Journal of Climatology, 2018)
Based on 55 years (from 1961 to 2015) of ground‐based hailstorm and atmospheric sounding observations, the climatological characteristics of hailstorms in China, along with potential influencing factors, were analysed. We found that hailstorms exhibit large spatial and temporal variability, with the peak occurring in spring in south China, and in summer in north China. The Tibetan Plateau (TTP) is a region with high hailstorm frequency. Overall, the frequency of hailstorms has decreased over the 55 years, although there was an increase from 1961 to 1985. In terms of diurnal variability, while hailstorm frequency peaks in the afternoon in most of China, it peaks during the night or early morning in southwest China. The magnitude of the peak increased during the 1960s and 1970s, and then decreased afterwards. Hailstorms are negatively correlated with daily mean temperature but are positively correlated with diurnal temperature range, convective available potential energy (CAPE) and totals–totals index. The increase of hailstorms during the period from 1961 to 1985 is mainly correlated with the increase in CAPE over the TTP region, while the decrease of hailstorms afterwards is correlated with all four convective parameters. The finding has significant implications for the potential impact of increasing greenhouse gases on climatological changes in hailstorm.

Global importance of large‐diameter trees - James A. Lutz; Tucker J. Furniss; Daniel J. Johnson; Stuart J. Davies; David Allen; Alfonso Alonso; Kristina J. Anderson‐Teixeira; Ana Andrade; Jennifer Baltzer; Kendall M. L. Becker; Erika M. Blomdahl; Norman A. Bourg; et al. (Global Ecology and Biogeography, 2018)
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.
