    Abstract: The impact of methodological choices on the reliability and reproducibility of DNA metabarcoding need to be well understood to allow successful implementation in routine monitoring frameworks. For macrobenthos communities, the metabarcoding protocol focuses on a fragment of the mitochondrial COI gene and depending on the primer set used for amplification of COI, different taxa can be detected. To identify the primer set that allows the best diversity estimates for macrobenthos in the North Sea region, we sampled four distinct and well characterised communities and identified macrobenthos using traditional morpho-taxonomy before molecular processing. Of the five primer sets tested, the Leray primer set yielded the highest number of non-chimeric reads, detected the highest number of macrobenthos species and best recovered beta diversity patterns. Despite the availability of a nearly complete reference database, 19 out of the 59 morphological species were not picked up with DNA metabarcoding. Next to primer choice, the DNA source used in metabarcoding studies can affect whether or not a species is detected. DNA can be extracted from bulk specimens or from the ethanol preservative in which the macrobenthos sample was preserved. The latter DNA source would greatly speed up processing time of samples in the laboratory. We therefore compared species detection in bulk DNA and eDNA from the ethanol preservative from the four macrobenthos communities in the North Sea. Our results show that community composition differed significantly between bulk DNA and eDNA samples, but both sample types are able to differentiate the four macrobenthos communities from the North Sea. Of the 49 species that are detected in both sample types, 27 are also found in the morphological dataset. The 14 species that are exclusively detected in the ethanol preservative are mainly pelagic species. In view of the low read numbers allocated to these species (at most 153 reads) they most likely represent “contaminant” DNA molecules that are attached to the specimens or the organic debris. To better understand the different results between bulk DNA and eDNA from the ethanol preservative, we investigated the importance of four categorical traits in explaining the probability of detecting a species in the two sample types: body, larval stage (benthic or pelagic), longevity and body skeleton (chitin, CaCO 3 or soft tissue). A generalized linear mixed effects model approach shows that the probability of detecting a species in the eDNA from the ethanol preservative is significantly lower than for bulk DNA for macrobenthos species having small to medium body size and for species having chitine or CaCO 3 in their skeleton. In contrast, detection in the bulk DNA samples is not affected by the investigated traits. Although the ethanol preservative can be used to characterize beta diversity patterns, our results show that monitoring of macrobenthos species will be most robust when using bulk DNA as template for metabarcoding.

    Abstract: DNA metabarcoding is a promising method to increase cost and time efficiency of marine monitoring. While substantial evidence exists that bulk DNA samples adequately reflect diversity patterns of marine macrobenthos, the potential of eDNA in the ethanol preservative of benthic samples for biodiversity monitoring remains largely unexplored. We investigated species detection in bulk DNA and eDNA from the ethanol preservative in samples from four distinct macrobenthic communities in the North Sea. Bulk DNA and eDNA were extracted with different extraction kits and five COI primer sets were tested. Despite the availability of a nearly complete reference database, at most 22% of the amplicon sequence variants (ASVs) were assigned taxonomy at the phylum level. However, the unassigned ASVs represented only a small fraction of the total reads (13%). The Leray primer set outperformed the four other primer sets in the number of non-chimeric reads and species detected, and in the recovery of beta diversity patterns. Community composition differed significantly between bulk DNA and eDNA samples, but both sample types were able to differentiate the four communities. The probability of detecting a species in the eDNA from the ethanol preservative was significantly lower than for bulk DNA for macrobenthos species having small to medium body size and for species having chitine or CaCO 3 in their cuticula. Detection in the bulk DNA samples was not affected by the investigated morphological traits, indicating that monitoring of macrobenthos species will be most robust when using bulk DNA as template for metabarcoding.

    Abstract: In the present study, we investigated whether reducing the particle size of wheat bran affects the colonizing microbial community using batch fermentations with cecal inocula from seven different chickens. We also investigated the effect of in-feed administration of regular wheat bran (WB; 1,690 μm) and wheat bran with reduced particle size (WB280; 280 μm) on the cecal microbial community composition of broilers. During batch fermentation, WB280 was colonized by a lactic acid-producing community ( Bifidobacteriaceae and Lactobacillaceae ) and by Lachnospiraceae that contain lactic acid-consuming butyric acid-producing species. The relative abundances of the Enterobacteriaceae decreased in the particle-associated communities for both WB and WB280 compared to that of the control. In addition, the community attached to wheat bran was enriched in xylan-degrading bacteria. When administered as a feed additive to broilers, WB280 significantly increased the richness of the cecal microbiota and the abundance of bacteria containing the butyryl-coenzyme A (CoA):acetate CoA-transferase gene, a key gene involved in bacterial butyrate production, while decreasing the abundances of Enterobacteriaceae family members in the ceca. Particle size reduction of wheat bran thus resulted in the colonization of the bran particles by a very specific lactic acid- and butyric acid-producing community and can be used to steer toward beneficial microbial shifts. This can potentially increase the resilience against pathogens and increase animal performance when the reduced-particle-size wheat bran is administered as a feed additive to broilers. IMPORTANCE Prebiotic dietary fibers are known to improve the gastrointestinal health of both humans and animals in many different ways. They can increase the bulking capacity, improve transit times, and, depending on the fiber, even stimulate the growth and activity of resident beneficial bacteria. Wheat bran is a readily available by-product of flour processing and is a highly concentrated source of (in)soluble dietary fiber. The intake of fiber-rich diets has been associated with increased Firmicutes and decreased Proteobacteria numbers. Here, we show that applying only 1% of a relatively simple substrate which was technically modified using relatively simple techniques reduces the concentration of Enterobacteriaceae . This could imply that in future intervention studies, one should take the particle size of dietary fibers into account.

    Abstract: Industrial chicory ( Cichorium intybus var. sativum ) and witloof ( C. intybus var. foliosum ) are crops with an important economic value, mainly cultivated for inulin production and as a leafy vegetable, respectively. Both crops are rich in nutritionally relevant specialized metabolites with beneficial effects for human health. However, their bitter taste, caused by the sesquiterpene lactones (SLs) produced in leaves and taproot, limits wider applications in the food industry. Changing the bitterness would thus create new opportunities with a great economic impact. Known genes encoding enzymes involved in the SL biosynthetic pathway are GERMACRENE A SYNTHASE (GAS), GERMACRENE A OXIDASE (GAO) , COSTUNOLIDE SYNTHASE (COS) and KAUNIOLIDE SYNTHASE ( KLS ). In this study, we integrated genome and transcriptome mining to further unravel SL biosynthesis. We found that C. intybus SL biosynthesis is controlled by the phytohormone methyl jasmonate (MeJA). Gene family annotation and MeJA inducibility enabled the pinpointing of candidate genes related with the SL biosynthetic pathway. We specifically focused on members of subclade CYP71 of the cytochrome P450 family. We verified the biochemical activity of 14 C . intybus CYP71 enzymes transiently produced in Nicotiana benthamiana and identified several functional paralogs for each of the GAO , COS and KLS genes, pointing to redundancy in and robustness of the SL biosynthetic pathway. Gene functionality was further analyzed using CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing in C. intybus . Metabolite profiling of mutant C. intybus lines demonstrated a successful reduction in SL metabolite production. Together, this study increases our insights into the C. intybus SL biosynthetic pathway and paves the way for the engineering of C. intybus bitterness.

    Abstract: High-throughput sequencing (HTS) technologies have become indispensable tools assisting plant virus diagnostics and research thanks to their ability to detect any plant virus in a sample without prior knowledge. As HTS technologies are heavily relying on bioinformatics analysis of the huge amount of generated sequences, it is of utmost importance that researchers can rely on efficient and reliable bioinformatic tools and can understand the principles, advantages, and disadvantages of the tools used. Here, we present a critical overview of the steps involved in HTS as employed for plant virus detection and virome characterization. We start from sample preparation and nucleic acid extraction as appropriate to the chosen HTS strategy, which is followed by basic data analysis requirements, an extensive overview of the in-depth data processing options, and taxonomic classification of viral sequences detected. By presenting the bioinformatic tools and a detailed overview of the consecutive steps that can be used to implement a well-structured HTS data analysis in an easy and accessible way, this paper is targeted at both beginners and expert scientists engaging in HTS plant virome projects.

    Abstract: Microorganisms are not only indispensable to ecosystem functioning, they are also keystones for emerging technologies. In the last 15 years, the number of studies on environmental microbial communities has increased exponentially due to advances in sequencing technologies, but the large amount of data generated remains difficult to analyze and interpret. Recently, metabarcoding analysis has shifted from clustering reads using Operational Taxonomical Units (OTUs) to Amplicon Sequence Variants (ASVs). Differences between these methods can seriously affect the biological interpretation of metabarcoding data, especially in ecosystems with high microbial diversity, as the methods are benchmarked based on low diversity datasets. Results In this work we have thoroughly examined the differences in community diversity, structure, and complexity between the OTU and ASV methods. We have examined culture-based mock and simulated datasets as well as soil- and plant-associated bacterial and fungal environmental communities. Four key findings were revealed. First, analysis of microbial datasets at family level guaranteed both consistency and adequate coverage when using either method. Second, the performance of both methods used are related to community diversity and sample sequencing depth. Third, differences in the method used affected sample diversity and number of detected differentially abundant families upon treatment; this may lead researchers to draw different biological conclusions. Fourth, the observed differences can mostly be attributed to low abundant (relative abundance 〈  0.1%) families, thus extra care is recommended when studying rare species using metabarcoding. The ASV method used outperformed the adopted OTU method concerning community diversity, especially for fungus-related sequences, but only when the sequencing depth was sufficient to capture the community complexity. Conclusions Investigation of metabarcoding data should be done with care. Correct biological interpretation depends on several factors, including in-depth sequencing of the samples, choice of the most appropriate filtering strategy for the specific research goal, and use of family level for data clustering.
