On-line monitoring of cell concentration of Perilla frutescens in a bioreactor

This article demonstrates the successful in situ real-time monitoring of the cell concentration of Perilla frutescens in a bioreactor by using a laser turbidimeter. It was found that turbidity measurements at 780 nm with the laser sensor were hardly affected by the red color of the anthocyanin produced by P. frutescens cells, nor by the aeration rate or agitation speed within the ranges investigated. There was an excellent linear relationship, with a correlation coefficient (r(2)) higher than 0.99, between the sensor's response and the cell concentration. The whole growth stage of the cells, i.e., lag, logarithmic, and stationary phases, in bioreactor cultivations, could be satisfactorily estimated on-line by means of the in situ turbidimeter. However, during the declining phase of the cells, an apparent deviation was observed between the on-line estimations and off-line measurements of cell concentrations by dry cell weight, while the wet cell weight could be estimated by the same turbidimeter system. We found that this deviation was caused by a decrease in the cell density due to an increase of the individual cell volume and a decrease of the cell dry weight during the declining phase.

The distribution of coastal fish eDNA sequences in the Anthropocene

Aim

Coastal fishes have a fundamental role in marine ecosystem functioning and contributions to people, but face increasing threats due to climate change, habitat degradation and overexploitation. The extent to which human pressures are impacting coastal fish biodiversity in comparison with geographic and environmental factors at large spatial scale is still under scrutiny. Here, we took advantage of environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding to investigate the relationship between fish biodiversity, including taxonomic and genetic components, and environmental but also socio-economic factors.

Location

Tropical, temperate and polar coastal areas.

Time period

Present day.

Major taxa studied

Marine fishes.

Methods

We analysed fish eDNA in 263 stations (samples) in 68 sites distributed across polar, temperate and tropical regions. We modelled the effect of environmental, geographic and socio-economic factors on α- and β-diversity. We then computed the partial effect of each factor on several fish biodiversity components using taxonomic molecular units (MOTU) and genetic sequences. We also investigated the relationship between fish genetic α- and β-diversity measured from our barcodes, and phylogenetic but also functional diversity.

Results

We show that fish eDNA MOTU and sequence α- and β-diversity have the strongest correlation with environmental factors on coastal ecosystems worldwide. However, our models also reveal a negative correlation between biodiversity and human dependence on marine ecosystems. In areas with high dependence, diversity of all fish, cryptobenthic fish and large fish MOTUs declined steeply. Finally, we show that a sequence diversity index, accounting for genetic distance between pairs of MOTUs, within and between communities, is a reliable proxy of phylogenetic and functional diversity.

Main conclusions

Together, our results demonstrate that short eDNA sequences can be used to assess climate and direct human impacts on marine biodiversity at large scale in the Anthropocene and can further be extended to investigate biodiversity in its phylogenetic and functional dimensions.     

The vacuolar H+-ATPase of Saccharomyces cerevisiae is required for efficient copper detoxification,mitochondrial function,and iron metabolism

Mutations in the GEF2 gene of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae have pleiotropic effects. The gef2 mutants display a petite phenotype. These cells grow slowly on several different carbon sources utilized exclusively or primarily by respiration. This phenotype is suppressed by adding large amounts of iron to the growth medium. A defect in mitochondrial function may be the cause of the petite phenotype: the rate of oxygen consumption by intact gef2 cells and by mitochondrial fractions isolated from gef2 mutants was reduced 60%–75% relative to wild type. Cytochrome levels were unaffected in gef2 mutants, indicating that heme accumulation is not significantly altered in these strains. The gef2 mutants were also more sensitive than wild type to growth inhibition by several divalent cations including Cu. We found that the cup5 mutation, causing Cu sensitivity, is allelic to gef2 mutations. The GEF2 gene was isolated, sequenced, and found to be identical to VMA3, the gene encoding the vacuolar H ⁺-ATPase proteolipid subunit. These genetic and biochemical analyses demonstrate that the vacuolar H ⁺-ATPase plays a previously unknown role in Cu detoxification, mitochondrial function, and iron metabolism.
