Transcriptomic profiling of haloarchaeal denitrification through RNA-Seq analysis.

Appl Environ Microbiol

June 2024

Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, Edaphology and Agricultural Chemistry Department, Faculty of Sciences, Universitat d'Alacant, Alicante, Spain.

Denitrification, a crucial biochemical pathway prevalent among haloarchaea in hypersaline ecosystems, has garnered considerable attention in recent years due to its ecological implications. Nevertheless, the underlying molecular mechanisms and genetic regulation governing this respiration/detoxification process in haloarchaea remain largely unexplored. In this study, RNA-sequencing was used to compare the transcriptomes of the haloarchaeon under oxic and denitrifying conditions, shedding light on the intricate metabolic alterations occurring within the cell, such as the accurate control of the metal homeostasis.

Microorganisms are key contributors of aquatic biogeochemical cycles but their microscale ecology remains largely unexplored, especially interactions occurring between phytoplankton and microorganisms in the phycosphere, that is the region immediately surrounding phytoplankton cells. The current study aimed to provide evidence of the phycosphere taking advantage of a unique hypersaline, hyperalkaline ecosystem, Lake Dziani Dzaha (Mayotte), where two phytoplanktonic species permanently co-dominate: a cyanobacterium, Arthrospira fusiformis, and a green microalga, Picocystis salinarum. To assay phycospheric microbial diversity from in situ sampling, we set up a flow cytometry cell-sorting methodology for both phytoplanktonic populations, coupled with metabarcoding and comparative microbiome diversity.

Double-stranded DNA bears the highest linear negative charge density (2 per base-pair) among all biopolymers, leading to strong interactions with cations and dipolar water, resulting in the formation of a dense 'condensation layer' around DNA. Interactions involving proteins and ligands binding to DNA are primarily governed by strong electrostatic forces. Increased salt concentrations impede such electrostatic interactions - a situation that prevails in oceanic species due to their cytoplasm being enriched with salts.
