Sequencing the World of Possibilities for Energy & Environment

Metagenomics with spatial resolution

When doing metagenomics, we take a sample from a

community and homogenise

The structure and complexityof a community are ignored

What about layers in microbial communities?

Introduction

• Hypersaline mat, Guerrero Negro, Baja California

– ~6cm thick

• The most diverse community on Earth

– Probably :)– Tens of thousands of microbial species– Dozens of novel phyla

• Steep physico/chemical gradients with depth

– O2, H2S, light

• Highly stratified (layered) community

– Cyanobacteria on top– Cloroflexi, proteobacteria,

bacteroides below

Sequencing the World of Possibilities for Energy & Environment

• Sequenced 10 layers of the mat

• Samples are taken: 1mm top layers, 3mm lower layers

• A parallel project is aimed to identify the diversity, deep sequencing of 16S is under way in the Norm Pace’ lab.

• Sequencing, from each layer:– ~13,000 reads (between 11,574 and 15,663)– Assembly gives contigs less than 10kb, all analysis

done with reads– ~13,600 proteins (between 12,012 and 15,984) – Loaded into IMG/M`

Sequencing strategy

The questions

• How does the mat live?– Metabolism, interactions, chemotaxis

• Are there gradients observable from the data?– Species– Protein families– Functional families– Other characteristics?

• What is special about the mat as compared to other environments?

– Adaptations similar across many layers?– Adaptations that cross phylogenetic

boundaries?

• Stress management– Salinity– Heat

Unifying features?

• Layers are different– Phylogenetically– Functionally

• Anything common to all layers– Hypersalinity is common– Adaptations to hypersalinity?– K/Na exchange, increasing intracellular K

• In Archaea• Salinibacter Ruber• In the mat?
