Juxtaposed membranes underpin cellular adhesion and display unilateral cell division of multicellular magnetotactic prokaryotes - Xin‐Xin Qian; Claire‐Lise Santini; Artemis Kosta; Nicolas Menguy; Hugo Le Guenno; Wenyan Zhang; Jinhua Li; Yi‐Ran Chen; Jia Liu; François Alberto; Leon Espinosa; Tian Xiao; et al. (Environmental Microbiology, 2020)
Summary Multicellular magnetotactic prokaryotes (MMPs) exhibit peculiar coordination of swimming along geomagnetic field lines. Approximately 40–80 cells assemble, with a helical geometry or axisymmetry, into spherical or ellipsoidal MMPs respectively. To contribute to a comprehensive understanding of bacterial multicellularity here we took multiple microscopic approaches to study the diversity, assembly, reproduction and motility of ellipsoidal MMPs. Using correlative fluorescence in situ hybridization and scanning electron microscopy analysis, we found an unexpected diversity in populations of ellipsoidal MMPs in the Mediterranean Sea. The high‐pressure freezing/freeze substitution fixation technique allowed us to show, for the first time, that cells adhere via juxtaposed membranes and are held together by a rimming lattice. Fluorescence confocal microscopy and ultrathin section images revealed not only the one‐layer hollow three‐dimensional architecture, but also periphery–core unilateral constriction of constituent cells and unidirectional binary fission of the ellipsoidal MMPs. This finding suggests the evolution toward MMPs multicellularity via the mechanism of incomplete separation of offspring. Remarkably, thousands of flagellar at the periphery surface of cells underpin the coordinated swimming of MMPs in response to mechanical, chemical, magnetic and optical stimuli, including a magnetotactic photokinesis behaviour. Together these results unveil the unique structure and function property of ellipsoidal MMPs.

AUV 3D Path Planning Based on the Improved Hierarchical Deep Q Network - Yushan Sun; Xiangrui Ran; Guocheng Zhang; Hao Xu; Xiangbin Wang (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2020)
This study proposed the 3D path planning of an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) by using the hierarchical deep Q network (HDQN) combined with the prioritized experience replay. The path planning task was divided into three layers, which realized the dimensionality reduction of state space and solved the problem of dimension disaster. An artificial potential field was used to design the positive rewards of the algorithm to shorten the training time. According to the different requirements of the task, this study modified the rewards in the training process to obtain different paths. The path planning simulation and field tests were carried out. The results of the tests corroborated that the training time of the proposed method was shorter than that of the traditional method. The path obtained by simulation training was proved to be safe and effective.

EFFECT OF A ROOT‐ZONE INJECTION IRRIGATION METHOD ON WATER PRODUCTIVITY AND APPLE PRODUCTION IN A SEMI‐ARID REGION IN NORTH‐WESTERN CHINA - Yan‐Ping Wang; Lin‐Sen Zhang; Yan Mu; Wei‐Hong Liu; Fu‐Xing Guo; Tian‐Ran Chang (Irrigation and Drainage, 2020)
Within the Chinese Loess Plateau, water resources are scarce and irrigation efficiency is a challenging issue. Traditional surface drip irrigation (SDI) methods have failed to improve irrigation efficiency and reduce surface evaporation in the region. An easy‐to‐install and practicable root‐zone injection irrigation (RII) method, with a low risk of emitter clogging and which uses subsurface infiltration‐promoting apparatuses (SIPA) to deliver water directly to the root zone, was designed and tested in an apple orchard over 3 years in northern Shaanxi, China. In the 0–0.6 m soil layer (where the apple roots are concentrated), the RII method produced consistently higher soil water content than the SDI method over all three growing seasons. The soil water content was consistently higher than 60% of field capacity, thus meeting the water requirements of fruit‐bearing apple trees. In addition, the RII method alleviated soil desiccation, significantly increased apple yields and improved fruit quality compared with the SDI method using the same volume of irrigation water. Both irrigation efficiency and water‐use efficiency were improved with the RII method. These results provide a theoretical basis for the utilization of the RII irrigation method in apple orchards in semi‐arid regions, which may improve water conservation and the sustainability of apple production. © 2019 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Terrestrial N 2 O emissions and related functional genes under climate change: A global meta‐analysis - Linfeng Li; Zhenzhen Zheng; Weijin Wang; Joel A. Biederman; Xingliang Xu; Qinwei Ran; Ruyan Qian; Cong Xu; Biao Zhang; Fang Wang; Shutong Zhou; Lizhen Cui; et al. (Global Change Biology, 2020)
Nitrous oxide (N 2 O) emissions from soil contribute to global warming and are in turn substantially affected by climate change. However, climate change impacts on N 2 O production across terrestrial ecosystems remain poorly understood. Here, we synthesized 46 published studies of N 2 O fluxes and relevant soil functional genes (SFGs, that is, archaeal amoA , bacterial amoA , nosZ , narG , nirK and nirS ) to assess their responses to increased temperature, increased or decreased precipitation amounts, and prolonged drought (no change in total precipitation but increase in precipitation intervals) in terrestrial ecosystem (i.e. grasslands, forests, shrublands, tundra and croplands). Across the data set, temperature increased N 2 O emissions by 33%. However, the effects were highly variable across biomes, with strongest temperature responses in shrublands, variable responses in forests and negative responses in tundra. The warming methods employed also influenced the effects of temperature on N 2 O emissions (most effectively induced by open‐top chambers). Whole‐day or whole‐year warming treatment significantly enhanced N 2 O emissions, but daytime, nighttime or short‐season warming did not have significant effects. Regardless of biome, treatment method and season, increased precipitation promoted N 2 O emission by an average of 55%, while decreased precipitation suppressed N 2 O emission by 31%, predominantly driven by changes in soil moisture. The effect size of precipitation changes on nirS and nosZ showed a U‐shape relationship with soil moisture; further insight into biotic mechanisms underlying N 2 O emission response to climate change remain limited by data availability, underlying a need for studies that report SFG. Our findings indicate that climate change substantially affects N 2 O emission and highlights the urgent need to incorporate this strong feedback into most climate models for convincing projection of future climate change.

Three-Dimensional Path Tracking Control of Autonomous Underwater Vehicle Based on Deep Reinforcement Learning - Yushan Sun; Chenming Zhang; Guocheng Zhang; Hao Xu; Xiangrui Ran (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2019)
In this paper, the three-dimensional (3D) path tracking control of an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) under the action of sea currents was researched. A novel reward function was proposed to improve learning ability and a disturbance observer was developed to observe the disturbance caused by currents. Based on existing models, the dynamic and kinematic models of the AUV were established. Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient, a deep reinforcement learning, was employed for designing the path tracking controller. Compared with the backstepping sliding mode controller, the controller proposed in this article showed excellent performance, at least in the particular study developed in this article. The improved reward function and the disturbance observer were also found to work well with improving path tracking performance.

The design, control, and implementation of an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) for collecting hydrological information from plateau rivers and lakes are presented in this paper. The hardware and software structures of the control system were previously described. A novel sliding mode controller (SMC) with combinational reaching law of vertical hovering motion is proposed to improve the robustness and stability. The S-plane control, a nonlinear controller with little parameters, is used in the horizontal motion. Besides, the navigation strategy based on the dead-reckoning algorithm, a path tracking based on the light-of-sight (LOS) algorithm, and a control allocation strategy considering saturation are present. Finally, experiments were performed in a tank and in a river in the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau to prove the feasibility and reliability of the AUV system.

Pigmented microbial eukaryotes fuel the deep sea carbon pool in the tropical Western Pacific Ocean - Dapeng Xu; Ping Sun; Yizhe Zhang; Ran Li; Bangqin Huang; Nianzhi Jiao; Alan Warren; Lei Wang (Environmental Microbiology, 2018)
Summary Phototrophic microbial eukaryotes dominate primary production over large oceanic regions. Due to their small sizes and slow sinking rates, it is assumed they contribute relatively little to the downward export of organic carbon via the biological pump. Therefore, the community structure of phototrophic cells in the deep ocean has long been overlooked and remains largely unknown. In this study, we used an integrative approach, including epifluorescence microscopy, sequencing of 18S rRNA and photosystem‐II psbA gene transcripts, to investigate phototrophic microbial eukaryotes in samples collected from the tropical Western Pacific Ocean. It was found that: (i) pigmented nano‐sized eukaryotes (PNEs) are ubiquitous in the deep Western Pacific Ocean down to 5000 m depth; (ii) the PNE community is dominated by cells 2–5 μm in size; (iii) their abundance is significant, averaging 4 ± 1 (± s.e.) cells ml −1 in waters below 1000 m which is comparable to that of heterotrophic nanoflagellates; (iv) the active pigmented microbial eukaryotes in the deep waters are highly diverse and dominated by Haptophyta followed by Chlorophyta and Bacillariophyta; (v) PNEs in deep waters were likely transported from surface ocean by various fast‐sinking mechanisms, thus contributing to the biological pump and fuelling the deep‐sea communities by supplying fresh organic carbon.

Aeromonas veronii and aerolysin are important for the pathogenesis of motile aeromonad septicemia in cyprinid fish - Chao Ran; Chubin Qin; Mingxu Xie; Jinxiong Zhang; Jie Li; Yadong Xie; Yibing Wang; Shuning Li; Lihui Liu; Xiaozhe Fu; Qiang Lin; Ningqiu Li; et al. (Environmental Microbiology, 2018)
Summary Aeromonas species are ubiquitous inhabitants of freshwater environments, and are responsible for fish motile aeromonad septicemia (MAS). A. hydrophila is implicated as the primary etiologic agent of MAS. Here, we analysed MAS epidemiological data for cyprinid fish in southern China, and found that A. veronii infections dominated. Consistent with this observation, A. veronii isolates were generally more virulent than A. hydrophila isolates when infecting germ‐free zebrafish larvae via continuous immersion challenge. Through in vivo screening of the transposon library of the A. veronii strain Hm091, aerolysin was identified as the key virulence factor. Further results indicated that A. veronii Hm091 aerolysin disrupts the intestinal barrier of zebrafish, enabling systematic invasion by not only A. veronii Hm091 in a mono‐infection, but also A. hydrophila NJ‐1 in a mixed infection. Moreover, the differences in aerolysin expression and activity were the major contributor to the observed differences between the A. veronii and A. hydrophila strains regarding invasion efficacy via intestine. Together, our results provide new insights into the aetiology and pathogenesis of Aeromonas infections, and highlight the importance of A. veronii ‐targeted treatments in future efforts against MAS.

An ecophysiological perspective on likely giant panda habitat responses to climate change - Yuke Zhang; Paul D. Mathewson; Qiongyue Zhang; Warren P. Porter; Jianghong Ran (Global Change Biology, 2018)
Threatened and endangered species are more vulnerable to climate change due to small population and specific geographical distribution. Therefore, identifying and incorporating the biological processes underlying a species’ adaptation to its environment are important for determining whether they can persist in situ. Correlative models are widely used to predict species’ distribution changes, but generally fail to capture the buffering capacity of organisms. Giant pandas ( Ailuropoda melanoleuca ) live in topographically complex mountains and are known to avoid heat stress. Although many studies have found that climate change will lead to severe habitat loss and threaten previous conservation efforts, the mechanisms underlying panda's responses to climate change have not been explored. Here, we present a case study in Daxiangling Mountains, one of the six Mountain Systems that giant panda distributes. We used a mechanistic model, Niche Mapper, to explore what are likely panda habitat response to climate change taking physiological, behavioral and ecological responses into account, through which we map panda's climatic suitable activity area ( SAA ) for the first time. We combined SAA with bamboo forest distribution to yield highly suitable habitat ( HSH ) and seasonal suitable habitat ( SSH ), and their temporal dynamics under climate change were predicted. In general, SAA in the hottest month (July) would reduce 11.7%–52.2% by 2070, which is more moderate than predicted bamboo habitat loss (45.6%–86.9%). Limited by the availability of bamboo and forest, panda's suitable habitat loss increases, and only 15.5%–68.8% of current HSH would remain in 2070. Our method of mechanistic modeling can help to distinguish whether habitat loss is caused by thermal environmental deterioration or food loss under climate change. Furthermore, mechanistic models can produce robust predictions by incorporating ecophysiological feedbacks and minimizing extrapolation into novel environments. We suggest that a mechanistic approach should be incorporated into distribution predictions and conservation planning.

Summary Magnetotactic multicellular prokaryotes (MMPs) consist of unique microorganisms formed by genetically identical Gram‐negative bacterial that live as a single individual capable of producing magnetic nano‐particles called magnetosomes. Two distinct morphotypes of MMPs are known: spherical MMPs (sMMPs) and ellipsoidal MMPs (eMMPs). sMMPs have been extensively characterized, but less information exists for eMMPs. Here, we report the ultrastructure and organization as well as gene clusters responsible for magnetosome and flagella biosynthesis in the magnetite magnetosome producer eMMP Candidatus Magnetananas rongchenensis. Transmission electron microscopy and focused ion beam scanning electron microscopy (FIB‐SEM) 3D reconstruction reveal that cells with a conspicuous core‐periphery polarity were organized around a central space. Magnetosomes were organized in multiple chains aligned along the periphery of each cell. In the partially sequenced genome, magnetite‐related mamAB gene and mad gene clusters were identified. Two cell morphologies were detected: irregular elliptical conical ‘frustum‐like’ (IECF) cells and H‐shaped cells. IECF cells merge to form H‐shaped cells indicating a more complex structure and possibly a distinct evolutionary position of eMMPs when compared with sMMPs considering multicellularity.

Significant alteration of soil bacterial communities and organic carbon decomposition by different long‐term fertilization management conditions of extremely low‐productivity arable soil in S outh C hina - Weibing Xun; Jun Zhao; Chao Xue; Guishan Zhang; Wei Ran; Boren Wang; Qirong Shen; Ruifu Zhang (Environmental Microbiology, 2016)
Summary Different fertilization managements of red soil, a kind of Ferralic Cambisol, strongly affected the soil properties and associated microbial communities. The association of the soil microbial community and functionality with long‐term fertilization management in the unique low‐productivity red soil ecosystem is important for both soil microbial ecology and agricultural production. Here, 454 pyrosequencing analysis of 16S recombinant ribonucleic acid genes and GeoC hip4‐NimbleGen‐based functional gene analysis were used to study the soil bacterial community composition and functional genes involved in soil organic carbon degradation. Long‐term nitrogen‐containing chemical fertilization‐induced soil acidification and fertility decline and significantly altered the soil bacterial community, whereas long‐term organic fertilization and fallow management improved the soil quality and maintained the bacterial diversity. Short‐term quicklime remediation of the acidified soils did not change the bacterial communities. Organic fertilization and fallow management supported eutrophic ecosystems, in which copiotrophic taxa increased in relative abundance and have a higher intensity of labile‐ C ‐degrading genes. However, long‐term nitrogen‐containing chemical fertilization treatments supported oligotrophic ecosystems, in which oligotrophic taxa increased in relative abundance and have a higher intensity of recalcitrant‐ C ‐degrading genes but a lower intensity of labile‐ C ‐degrading genes. Quicklime application increased the relative abundance of copiotrophic taxa and crop production, although these effects were utterly inadequate. This study provides insights into the interaction of soil bacterial communities, soil functionality and long‐term fertilization management in the red soil ecosystem; these insights are important for improving the fertility of unique low‐productivity red soil.

Methane and nitrous oxide emissions under no‐till farming in China: a meta‐analysis - Xin Zhao; Sheng‐Li Liu; Chao Pu; Xiang‐Qian Zhang; Jian‐Fu Xue; Ran Zhang; Yu‐Qiao Wang; Rattan Lal; Hai‐Lin Zhang; Fu Chen (Global Change Biology, 2016)
No‐till ( NT ) practices are among promising options toward adaptation and mitigation of climate change. However, the mitigation effectiveness of NT depends not only on its carbon sequestration potential but also on soil‐derived CH 4 and N 2 O emissions. A meta‐analysis was conducted, using a dataset involving 136 comparisons from 39 studies in China, to identify site‐specific factors which influence CH 4 emission, CH 4 uptake, and N 2 O emission under NT . Comparative treatments involved NT without residue retention ( NT 0), NT with residue retention ( NTR ), compared to plow tillage ( PT ) with residue removed ( PT 0). Overall, NT 0 significantly decreased CH 4 emission by ~30% ( P 0.05) compared to PT 0 with an average emission 218.8 kg ha −1 for rice paddies. However, the increase in N 2 O emission could partly offset the benefits of the decrease in CH 4 emission under NT compared to PT 0. NTR significantly enhanced N 2 O emission by 82.1%, 25.5%, and 20.8% ( P 0.05) compared to PT 0 for rice paddies, acid soils, and the first 5 years of the experiments, respectively. The results from categorical meta‐analysis indicated that the higher N 2 O emission could be mitigated by adopting NT within alkaline soils, for long‐term duration, and with less N fertilization input when compared to PT 0. In addition, the natural log (lnR) of response ratio of CH 4 and N 2 O emissions under NT correlated positively (enhancing emission) with climate factors (temperature and precipitation) and negatively (reducing emission) with experimental duration, suggesting that avoiding excess soil wetness and using NT for a long term could enhance the benefits of NT . Therefore, a thorough understanding of the conditions favoring greenhouse gas(es) reductions is essential to achieving climate change mitigation and advancing food security in China.

MAPK cascade‐mediated regulation of pathogenicity, conidiation and tolerance to abiotic stresses in the entomopathogenic fungus M etarhizium robertsii - Xiaoxuan Chen; Chuan Xu; Ying Qian; Ran Liu; Qiangqiang Zhang; Guohong Zeng; Xin Zhang; Hong Zhao; Weiguo Fang (Environmental Microbiology, 2016)
Summary M etarhizium robertsii has been used as a model to study fungal pathogenesis in insects, and its pathogenicity has many parallels with plant and mammal pathogenic fungi. MAPK (Mitogen‐activated protein kinase) cascades play pivotal roles in cellular regulation in fungi, but their functions have not been characterized in M . robertsii . In this study, we identified the full complement of MAPK cascade components in M . robertsii and dissected their regulatory roles in pathogenesis, conidiation and stress tolerance. The nine components of the Fus3, Hog1 and Slt2‐ MAPK cascades are all involved in conidiation. The Fus3‐ and Hog1‐ MAPK cascades are necessary for tolerance to hyperosmotic stress, and the Slt2‐ and Fus3‐ MAPK cascades both mediate cell wall integrity. The Hog1 and Slt2‐ MAPK cascades contribute to pathogenicity; the Fus3‐ MAPK cascade is indispensable for fungal pathogenesis. During its life cycle, M . robertsii experiences multiple microenvironments as it transverses the cuticle into the haemocoel. RNA ‐seq analysis revealed that MAPK cascades collectively play a major role in regulating the adaptation of M . robertsii to the microenvironmental change from the cuticle to the haemolymph. The three MAPKs each regulate their own distinctive subset of genes during penetration of the cuticle and haemocoel colonization, but they function redundantly to regulate adaptation to microenvironmental change.

Eurasian origin, boreotropical migration and transoceanic dispersal in the pantropical fern genus Diplazium (Athyriaceae) - Ran Wei; Qiaoping Xiang; Harald Schneider; Michael A. Sundue; Michael Kessler; Peris W. Kamau; Arief Hidayat; Xianchun Zhang (Journal of Biogeography, 2015)
Aim Gondwanan vicariance, boreotropical migration and long‐distance dispersal have been posited as alternative hypotheses explaining the tropical distribution patterns and diversifications in many fern groups. Here, the historical biogeography of Diplazium is reconstructed to evaluate the impact of these biogeographical processes in shaping the modern tropical disjunctions. Location World‐wide with a focus on tropical forest habitats. Methods Divergence times were estimated by analysing nucleotide sequences of seven plastid DNA regions ( atp A, atp B, mat K, rbc L, rps 4, rps 4– trn S and trn L–F) from 123 species of Diplazium and its allied genera, using a Bayesian relaxed clock method and three fossil calibrations. The ancestral areas were reconstructed using the likelihood dispersal–extinction–cladogenesis ( DEC ) approach. Results The crown group of Diplazium was estimated to have originated in Eurasia and undergone an initial diversification in the Northern Hemisphere around 41.7 Ma [95% highest posterior density ( HPD ): 34–49 Ma] during the Eocene. Two disjunct events between the Old and New World were identified: one in subgenus Diplazium around the Eocene–Oligocene boundary (31.2 Ma, 95% HPD : 25–38 Ma), and the other in subgenus Callipteris during the middle Miocene (12.6 Ma, 95% HPD : 15–23 Ma). Furthermore, Palaeotropical disjunctions in subgenus Callipteris are indicative of multiple dispersal events during the Miocene. Main conclusions The evolutionary history of Diplazium involves a variety of biogeographical scenarios. Early diversification of Diplazium in the Northern Hemisphere during the Eocene corresponds with the migration from Eurasia to North America over land bridges as a member of the boreotropical flora. The current tropical amphi‐Pacific disjunctions in subgenus Diplazium can be better explained by the disruption of boreotropical belt, however, long‐distance dispersal between Eurasia and tropical America cannot be ruled out. Island‐hopping and trans‐Pacific dispersals followed by speciation characterize the disjunctions and diversifications of subgenus Callipteris during the Neogene. Gondwanan vicariance is not supported by any of our results.

A novel species of ellipsoidal multicellular magnetotactic prokaryotes from L ake Y uehu in C hina - Yi‐Ran Chen; Rui Zhang; Hai‐Jian Du; Hong‐Miao Pan; Wen‐Yan Zhang; Ke Zhou; Jin‐Hua Li; Tian Xiao; Long‐Fei Wu (Environmental Microbiology, 2015)
Summary Two morphotypes of multicellular magnetotactic prokaryotes ( MMPs ) have been identified: spherical (several species) and ellipsoidal (previously one species). Here, we report novel ellipsoidal MMPs that are ∼ 10 × 8 μm in size, and composed of about 86 cells arranged in six to eight interlaced circles. Each MMP was composed of cells that synthesized either bullet‐shaped magnetite magnetosomes alone, or both bullet‐shaped magnetite and rectangular greigite magnetosomes. They showed north‐seeking magnetotaxis, ping‐pong motility and negative phototaxis at a velocity up to 300 μm s −1 . During reproduction, they divided along either their long‐ or short‐body axes. For genetic analysis, we sorted the ellipsoidal MMPs with micromanipulation and amplified their genomes using multiple displacement amplification. We sequenced the 16 S r RNA gene and found 6.9% sequence divergence from that of ellipsoidal MMPs , Candidatus Magnetananas tsingtaoensis and > 8.3% divergence from those of spherical MMPs . Therefore, the novel MMPs belong to different species and genus compared with the currently known ellipsoidal and spherical MMPs respectively. The novel MMPs display a morphological cell differentiation, implying a potential division of labour. These findings provide new insights into the diversity of MMPs in general, and contribute to our understanding of the evolution of multicellularity among prokaryotes.
