Abstract

Phytoplankton account for >45% of primary production on Earth, and hence have an enormous impact on aquatic food webs and on the entire Earth System. Their members are found across many of the major clades of the tree of life, including prokaryotes (cyanobacteria) and multiple eukaryotic lineages. Phytoplankton communities are generally studied by PCR amplification of rRNA marker genes from the DNA extracted from environmental samples and high-throughput sequencing of the amplicons. However, our appreciation of phytoplankton abundance or biomass is limited by PCR-amplification biases, rRNA gene copy number variations across taxa and the fact that rRNA do not provide insights into metabolic traits such as photosynthesis (i.e., it is sometimes difficult to distinguish an rRNA sequence of a phytoplanktonic species from a phylogenetically close non-photosynthetic species). In addition, rRNA marker genes fail to capture both cyanobacteria and photosynthetic eukaryotes simultaneously, thus hampering assessment of the entire phytoplankton community. Here, we propose to use the core single-copy photosynthetic gene psbO extracted from metagenomes to circumvent these limitations: the method is PCR-free, and the gene is present in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes, mainly in one copy per genome. We applied and validated this new strategy with the Tara Oceans datasets, and showed in most cases improved correlations with flow cytometry and microscopy than when based on rRNA genes. Furthermore, we revealed unexpected features of the ecology of these organisms, such as the high abundance of picocyanobacterial aggregates and symbionts in the ocean, and the decrease in relative abundance of phototrophs towards the larger size classes of marine communities of dinoflagellates. To facilitate the incorporation of psbO in future molecular-based surveys, we released a curated database including >20,000 unique sequences. Overall, psbO appears to be a promising new gene marker for improving molecular-based evaluations of phytoplankton communities.

Abstract

Aim: Plankton diversity is a pivotal element of marine ecosystem stability and functioning. A major obstacle in the assessment of diversity is the lack of consistency between patterns assessed by molecular and morphological data. This work aims to reconcile the two in a single richness measure, to investigate the environmental drivers affecting this measure, and finally to predict its spatio-temporal patterns. Location and time period: This is a global scale study, based on data collected within the 2009–2013 interval during the Tara Oceans expedition. Major taxa studied: The focus of this study is diatoms. They play an important role in several biogeochemical cycles and within marine food webs, and display high taxonomic and functional richness. Methods: We integrate measures of diatom richness across the global ocean using molecular and morphological approaches, giving particular attention to ‘the rare biosphere’. We then perform a machine-learning-based analysis of these reconciled patterns to extrapolate diatom richness at the global scale and to identify the main environmental processes governing it. Finally, we model the response of diatom richness to climate change. Results: By filtering out 0.3% of the rarest operational taxonomic units, molecular-based richness patterns show the best possible match with the morphological approach. Temperature, phosphate, chlorophyll a and the Lyapunov exponent are the major explainers of these reconciled patterns. Global scale predictions provide a first approximation of the global geography of diatom richness and of the possible impacts of climate change. Main conclusions: Our models suggest that diatom richness is controlled by different processes characteristic of distinct environmental scenarios: lateral mixing in highly dynamic regions, and both nutrient availability and temperature elsewhere. We present herein the effects of these processes on richness and how these same effects differ from other diversity indices because of the main component of richness: the rare biosphere.

Abstract

Sexual reproduction represents a fundamental phase in the life cycle of diatoms, linked to both the production of genotypic diversity and the formation of large-sized initial cells. Only cells below a certain size threshold can be sexualized, but various environmental factors can modulate the success of sexual reproduction. We investigated the role of cell density and physiological conditions of parental strains in affecting the success and timing of sexual reproduction in the marine heterothallic diatom Pseudo-nitzschia multistriata. We also studied the dynamics of the sexual phase in still conditions allowing cell sedimentation and in gently mixed conditions that keep cells in suspension. Our results showed that successful sexual reproduction can only be achieved when crossing parental strains in the exponential growth phase. Evidence was provided for the fact that sexual reproduction is a density-dependent event and requires a threshold cell concentration to start, although this might vary considerably amongst strains. Moreover, the onset of the sexual phase was coupled to a marked reduction in growth of the vegetative parental cells. The crosses carried out in physically mixed conditions produced a significantly reduced number of sexual stages as compared to crosses in still conditions, showing that mixing impairs sexualization. The results of our experiments suggest that the signaling that triggers the sexual phase is favored when cells can accumulate, reducing the distance between them and facilitating contacts and/or the perception of chemical cues. Information on the progression of the sexual phase in laboratory conditions help understanding the conditions at which sex occurs in the natural environment.

Abstract

The toxic benthic dinoflagellate Ostreopsis cf. ovata has considerably expanded its distribution range in the last decade, posing risks to human health. Several aspects of this species are still poorly known. We studied ultrastructural features of cultivated and natural populations of Ostreopsis cf. ovata from the Gulf of Naples (Mediterranean Sea) using confocal laser scanning, and scanning and transmission electron microscopy. New information on the morphology and location of several sulcal plates was gained and a new plate designation is suggested that better fits the one applied to other Gonyaulacales. The microtubular component of the cytoskeleton, revealed using an anti-β-tubulin antibody, consisted of a cortical layer of microtubules arranged asymmetrically in the episome and in the hyposome, complemented by a complex inner microtubular system running from the sulcal area towards the internal part of the cell. The conspicuous canal was delimited by two thick, burin-shaped lobes ending in a tubular ventral opening. The canal was surrounded by mucocysts discharging their content into it. A similar structure has been reported in other benthic and planktonic dinoflagellates and may be interpreted as an example of convergent evolution in species producing large amounts of mucus.

Abstract

The planktonic diatom Fragilariopsis kerguelensis plays an important role in the biogeochemical cycles of the Southern Ocean, where remains of its frustules form the largest deposit of biogenic silica anywhere in the world. We assessed the genetic identity of 26 strains, from cells collected at various sites in the Southern Ocean, using three molecular markers, LSU and ITS rDNA and rbcL. The LSU sequences were identical among the tested strains, ITS sequences were highly similar, and only one base pair difference was detected among the rbcL sequences. These results, together with a large number of successful mating experiments demonstrated that the strains belong to a single biological species. We investigated the mating system and life cycle traits of F. kerguelensis. Cell size diminished gradually in clonal strains. Gamete formation only occurred when strains of opposite mating type – within a cell size range of 7–36 µm – were mixed together. Two binucleate gametes were formed in each gametangium and ga...

Abstract

The genus Ostreopsis includes several species capable of producing various palytoxin-like compounds which have harmful effects on humans and marine fauna. Species in this genus are regular members of the epiphytic community in tropical seas but their geographic range have shown an apparent expansion towards temperate regions in recent years. This is the case of the Mediterranean Sea, where Ostreopsis cf. ovata is responsible for intense blooms in summer and autumn. With the aim of describing the growth performances of O. cf. ovata, we carried out a multifactorial experiment in which strains isolated from 3 locations along the Italian coast were grown at different combinations of temperature, daylength and irradiance encompassing different seasonal conditions. Temperature constrained growth of O. cf. ovata within a window of 18–30 °C, while best performances were recorded at 22 and 26 °C. Growth was maximum at 12 h daylength, whereas it was limited by photon flux density at short daylength (9 h) and often showed photosaturation at the longest daylength (15 h). Cells with anomalous shape were found during the exponential phase at the lowest and highest temperatures, while cells with a reduced size were produced at all conditions except 18 °C. Total toxin concentration varied between the different environmental conditions and between exponential and post-exponential growth phases without a clear pattern, whereas toxin composition was less variable. Our results suggest that O. cf. ovata is adapted to intermediate temperatures and daylength conditions such as those recorded in the natural environment at the beginning of summer and/or at the beginning of autumn, when this dinoflagellate builds up its biomass along the coast of the Mediterranean Sea. Photosaturation instead occurs at the highest temperature and irradiance conditions, thus supporting the observations of generally lower cell abundances in late July–August.

Abstract

A rapid, high resolution liquid chromatography coupled with ElectroSpray Ionization Time-Of-Flight Mass Spectrometry (ESI/TOF/MS) method was developed for the determination of the toxin pattern in cultured cells of Ostreopsis cf. ovata from the Mediterranean Sea. The samples were separated on a Phenomenex Luna 3μ HILIC 200A (150 × 2.00 mm) and analyzed by LC/TOF/MS with electrospray ionization (ESI) interface in positive ion mode. The method developed here provides the capability for a fully automated analysis, which requires relatively easy sample preparation and gives clean and simple chromatograms. The method was successfully applied to the determination of ovatoxin-a, mascarenotoxin-a and four new palytoxins in O. cf. ovata. Another new palytoxin was detected in the standard material from Palythoa tuberculosa provided by Wako Chemicals.

Abstract

Villar, Emilie ... et. al.-- 11 pages, 8 figures, supplementary materials www.sciencemag.org/content/348/6237/1261447/suppl/DC1, Agulhas rings provide the principal route for ocean waters to circulate from the Indo-Pacific to the Atlantic basin. Their influence on global ocean circulation is well known, but their role in plankton transport is largely unexplored. We show that, although the coarse taxonomic structure of plankton communities is continuous across the Agulhas choke point, South Atlantic plankton diversity is altered compared with Indian Ocean source populations. Modeling and in situ sampling of a young Agulhas ring indicate that strong vertical mixing drives complex nitrogen cycling, shaping community metabolism and biogeochemical signatures as the ring and associated plankton transit westward. The peculiar local environment inside Agulhas rings may provide a selective mechanism contributing to the limited dispersal of Indian Ocean plankton populations into the Atlantic. © 2015, American Association for the Advancement of Science.
