    The Use of Photographic Color Information for High-Throughput Phenotyping of Pigment Composition in Agarophyton vermiculophyllum (Ohmi) Gurgel, J.N.Norris & Fredericq (2019)

    Publication Date: 2022-01-31
    Description: Pigment variation within and among algal species may have important ecological consequences because small changes in the concentration and composition of pigments can influence the photosynthetic efficiency and rate as well as the spectra of light utilized. Toward the goal of developing a rapid method for comparing pigment composition among algal thalli, we characterized the relationship between visual color information taken from photographs (e.g., red, green, and blue color values) and photopigment composition in the non-native red alga Agarophyton vermiculophyllum (Ohmi) Gurgel, J.N.Norris & Fredericq. We used a set of 19 thalli, collected from across the known native and non-native range in the Northern Hemisphere, which exhibited substantial color variation at the time of field collection, and sustained this variation after being maintained in a common garden. We identified a set of ecologically interesting pigment traits that are readily predicted by color information, including chlorophyll a and phycobilin concentration. Finally, we demonstrated the repeatability of estimating color phenotypes from photographs of thalli taken under a range of light conditions in order to evaluate the utility of this approach for field studies. We suggest this method could be useful for the rapid, high-throughput phenotyping of photopigments in other red algae as well.

    Detection of Ulva SPP. and related species with better resolution: a tufa metabarcoding approach for Ulvophyceae (2021)
    In:  [Talk] In: 12th International Phycological Congress, 22.-26.03.2021, Puerto Montt, Chile ; p. 64 .
    Details

    Description: Ulva-like green algae are notoriously difficult to distinguish because of their great morphological variability and/or similarity, and DNA barcoding approaches are currently indispensable for their identification. However, such approaches often fail if rare or inapparent species are to be detected in large mixed green algal stands. We therefore developed a detection method based on next generation DNA sequencing, suitable for analysis of DNA traces in conserved water samples. A primer pair was developed that allows for amplification of a 475 bp long section within the tufA marker gene. The primers are relatively group specific, as 79.6 % of all reads obtained after quality filtering represented Ulvophyceae. The relatively short target amplicon still allows for good differentiation of Ulvales and Ulothrichales at the species level. Using a database containing tufA sequences of 879 species – thereof 281 Ulvophyceae – we detected predominantly species that were previously observed in our study area in Northern Germany. However, the number of species detected in single sites was generally higher than in earlier barcoding studies, which may be due to drifting genetic traces: Samples collected offshore appeared influenced by Ulvophyceae present within a radius of up to about 1 km in winter and less than 100 m in summer. Nonetheless, this new approach can be used to detect rare species: In one site an undescribed Blidingia species not yet known from our study area was repeatedly detected. Based on these findings the species was discovered and its identity was confirmed by traditional tufA barcoding.

    Host Promiscuity Promotes Invasiveness of the Rhodophyte Agarophyton Vermiculophyllum (2021)
    In:  [Talk] In: 12th International Phycological Congress, 22.-26.03.2021, Puerto Montt, Chile ; p. 41 .

    Publication Date: 2021-09-08
    Description: Invasive species are holobionts and during the invasion process they are accompanied by associated microbiota. In the course of the introduction process extreme conditions during transport and exposure to different conditions in a novel environment may induce holobiont disturbance. Upon introduction, the macroalgal holobiont interacts with microbiota from the new environment and reconfigures new functional microbial communities. As not all microbes may have survived, microbiota from the new environment may replace certain microbes from the native environment. Therefore, flexibility of the seaweed host towards environmental microbiota –or host promiscuity– may be an important trait in macroalgal invasions. Here, we simulated an introduction event in an experimental setting, using the invasive macroalga Agarophyton vermiculophyllum as a model. Individuals from geographically distant populations were transplanted to a common garden in the lab and subjected to a holobiont disturbance treatment followed by exposure to a new source of microbes. This treatment induced strong changes in associated microbiota, which shifted irreversibly in terms of composition and diversity, but recovered functionally in most respects. Moreover, beta-diversity strongly decreased in treated holobionts, indicating that different populations configured more common microbial communities in the common garden. In non-native populations this decline was more rapid and more pronounced, while microbial communities of native populations remained more similar to communities observed in the field. These results demonstrate that non-native A. vermiculophyllum are more flexible to environmental microbes, suggesting that an intra-specific increase in host promiscuity may have promoted the invasion process of A. vermiculophyllum.

    The Rhodoexplorer Platform for Red Algal Genomics and Whole Genome Assemblies for Several Gracilaria Species (2023)
    Oxford University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-02-07
    Description: Macroalgal (seaweed) genomic resources are generally lacking as compared to other eukaryotic taxa, and this is particularly true in the red algae (Rhodophyta). Understanding red algal genomes is critical to understanding eukaryotic evolution given that red algal genes are spread across eukaryotic lineages from secondary endosymbiosis and red algae diverged early in the Archaeplastids. The Gracilariales is a highly diverse and widely distributed order including species that can serve as ecosystem engineers in intertidal habitats and several notorious introduced species. The genus Gracilaria is cultivated worldwide, in part for its production of agar and other bioactive compounds with downstream pharmaceutical and industrial applications. This genus is also emerging as a model for algal evolutionary ecology. Here, we report new whole genome assemblies for two species (G. chilensis and G. gracilis), a draft genome assembly of G. caudata, and genome annotation of the previously published G. vermiculophylla genome. To facilitate accessibility and comparative analysis, we integrated these data in a newly created web-based portal dedicated to red algal genomics (https://rhodoexplorer.sb-roscoff.fr). These genomes will provide a resource for understanding algal biology and, more broadly, eukaryotic evolution.

    Draft genome and description of Waterburya agarophytonicola gen. nov. sp. nov. (Pleurocapsales, Cyanobacteria): a seaweed symbiont (2021)
    Springer
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-02-07
    Description: This work introduces Waterburya agarophytonicola Bonthond and Shalygin gen. nov., sp. nov, a baeocyte producing cyanobacterium that was isolated from the rhodophyte Agarophyton vermiculophyllum (Ohmi) Gurgel et al., an invasive seaweed that has spread across the northern hemisphere. The new species genome reveals a diverse repertoire of chemotaxis and adhesion related genes, including genes coding for type IV pili assembly proteins and a high number of genes coding for filamentous hemagglutinin family (FHA) proteins. Among a genetic basis for the synthesis of siderophores, carotenoids and numerous vitamins, W. agarophytonicola is potentially capable of producing cobalamin (vitamin B-12), for which A. vermiculophyllum is an auxotroph. With a taxonomic description of the genus and species and a draft genome, this study provides as a basis for future research, to uncover the nature of this geographically independent association between seaweed and cyanobiont.

    Intraspecific diversity and genetic structure in the widespread macroalga Agarophyton vermiculophyllum (2021)
    Wiley
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-02-07
    Description: Single-gene markers, such as the mitochondrial cox1, microsatellites, and single-nucleotide polymorphisms are powerful methods to describe diversity within and among taxonomic groups and characterize phylogeographic patterns. Large repositories of publicly-available, molecular data can be combined to generate and evaluate evolutionary hypotheses for many species, including algae. In the case of biological invasions, the combination of different molecular markers has enabled the description of the geographic distribution of invasive lineages. Here, we review the phylogeography of the widespread invasive red macroalga Agarophyton vermiculophyllum (synonym Gracilaria vermiculophylla). The cox1 barcoding provided the first description of the invasion history and hinted at a strong genetic bottleneck during the invasion. Yet, more recent microsatellite and SNP genotyping has not found evidence for bottlenecks and instead suggested that genetically diverse inocula arose from a highly diverse source population, multiple invasions, or some mix of these processes. The bottleneck evident from cox1 barcoding likely reflects the dominance of one mitochondrial lineage, and one haplotype in particular, in the northern source populations in Japan. Recent cox1 sequencing of A. vermiculophyllum has illuminated the complexity of phylogeographic structure in its native range of the northwest Pacific Ocean. For example, the western coast of Honshu in the Sea of Japan displays spatial patterns of haplotypic diversity with multiple lineages found together at the same geographic site. By consolidating the genetic data of this species, we clarify the phylogenetic relationships of a well-studied macroalga introduced to virtually every temperate estuary of the Northern Hemisphere.

    Non‐native hosts of an invasive seaweed holobiont have more stable microbial communities compared to native hosts in response to thermal stress (2023)
    Wiley
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-02-07
    Description: Seaweeds are colonized by a microbial community, which can be directly linked to their performance. This community is shaped by an interplay of stochastic and deterministic processes, including mechanisms which the holobiont host deploys to manipulate its associated microbiota. The Anna Karenina principle predicts that when a holobiont is exposed to suboptimal or stressful conditions, these host mechanisms may be compromised. This leads to a relative increase of stochastic processes that may potentially result in the succession of a microbial community harmful to the host. Based on this principle, we used the variability in microbial communities (i.e., beta diversity) as a proxy for stability within the invasive holobiont Gracilaria vermiculophylla during a simulated invasion in a common garden experiment. Independent of host range, host performance declined at elevated temperature (22°C) and disease incidence and beta diversity increased. Under thermally stressful conditions, beta diversity increased more in epibiota from native populations, suggesting that epibiota from non-native holobionts are thermally more stable. This pattern reflects an increase in deterministic processes acting on epibiota associated with non-native hosts, which in the setting of a common garden can be assumed to originate from the host itself. Therefore, these experimental data suggest that the invasion process may have selected for hosts better able to maintain stable microbiota during stress. Future studies are needed to identify the underlying host mechanisms.

    The role of host promiscuity in the invasion process of a seaweed holobiont (2021)
    Nature Research
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-02-07
    Description: Invasive species are co-introduced with microbiota from their native range and also interact with microbiota found in the novel environment to which they are introduced. Host flexibility toward microbiota, or host promiscuity, is an important trait underlying terrestrial plant invasions. To test whether host promiscuity may be important in macroalgal invasions, we experimentally simulated an invasion in a common garden setting, using the widespread invasive macroalga Agarophyton vermiculophyllum as a model invasive seaweed holobiont. After disturbing the microbiota of individuals from native and non-native populations with antibiotics, we monitored the microbial succession trajectories in the presence of a new source of microbes. Microbial communities were strongly impacted by the treatment and changed compositionally and in terms of diversity but recovered functionally by the end of the experiment in most respects. Beta-diversity in disturbed holobionts strongly decreased, indicating that different populations configure more similar –or more common– microbial communities when exposed to the same conditions. This decline in beta-diversity occurred not only more rapidly, but was also more pronounced in non-native populations, while individuals from native populations retained communities more similar to those observed in the field. This study demonstrates that microbial communities of non-native A. vermiculophyllum are more flexibly adjusted to the environment and suggests that an intraspecific increase in host promiscuity has promoted the invasion process of A. vermiculophyllum. This phenomenon may be important among invasive macroalgal holobionts in general.

    Fungal endophytes vary by species, tissue type, and life cycle stage in intertidal macroalgae (2022)
    Wiley
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-02-07
    Description: Whereas fungal symbionts of terrestrial plants are among the most widespread and well-studied symbioses, relatively little is known about fungi that are associated with macroalgae. To fill the gap in marine fungal taxonomy, we combined simple culture methods with amplicon sequencing to characterize the fungal communities associated with three brown (Sargassum muticum, Pelvetia canaliculata, Himanthalia elongata) and two red (Mastocarpus stellatus, Chondrus crispus) macroalgae from one intertidal zone. In addition to characterizing novel fungal diversity, we tested three hypotheses: fungal diversity and community composition vary (i) among species distributed at different tidal heights, (ii) among tissue types (apices, mid-thallus, and stipe), and (iii) among ‘isomorphic’ C. crispus life cycle stages. Almost 70% of our reads were classified as Ascomycota, 29% as Basidiomycota, and 1% that could not be classified to phylum. Thirty fungal isolates were obtained, 18 of which were also detected with amplicon sequencing. Fungal communities differed by host and tissue type. Interestingly, P. canaliculata, a fucoid at the extreme high intertidal, did not show differences in fungal diversity across the thallus. As found in filamentous algal endophytes, fungal diversity varied among the three life cycle stages in C. crispus. Female gametophytes were also compositionally more dispersed as compared to the less variable tetrasporophytes and male gametophytes. We demonstrate the power of combining relatively simple cultivation and sequencing approaches to characterize and study macroalgal-fungal associations and highlight the need to understand the role of fungi in near-shore marine ecosystems.
