Our study represents the first isolation of a prasinovirus in the South China Sea and the only one to infect the globally distributed genus Mantoniella. We conducted a comparative analysis with previously identified viral relatives, encompassing morphological characteristics, host specificity, marker-based phylogenetic placement, and whole-genome sequence comparisons. Although it shares morphological and genetic similarities with established prasinoviruses, this novel virus showed distinct genetic traits, confining its infection to the species Mantoniella tinhauana. We also explored the global biogeography of this prasinovirus and its host by mapping metagenomic data and analysing their relationship with various environmental parameters. Our results demonstrate a pronounced link between the virus and its host, both found predominantly in higher latitudes in the surface ocean. By gaining an increased understanding of the relationships between viruses, hosts, and environments, researchers can better make predictions and potentially implement measures to mitigate the consequences of climate change on oceanic processes.","PeriodicalId":163,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Microbiology Reports","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2024-10-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/1758-2229.70020","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142398826","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Past disturbances can alter microbial community structure and their response to subsequent disturbance events, but it remains unclear if the same recovery patterns persist after long-term exposure to stress. Here, we compare bacterial community composition in a community that experienced 2 years of monthly salinity addition disturbances with a community that has not experienced salinity additions. We then track the response and recovery to an additional salinity addition based on past disturbance exposure. We tested the following hypotheses: first, communities with a repeated disturbance history will have a different community composition than communities without a disturbance history; second, communities exposed to repeated disturbances will undergo a different recovery trajectory than communities experiencing a novel disturbance. We find that repeated disturbances alter community composition and affect community response and recovery to a subsequent disturbance after 2 years, primarily through increased resistance. This work enhances our understanding of microbial temporal dynamics and suggests that novel disturbances may pose a threat to microbial community structure and function.","PeriodicalId":163,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Microbiology Reports","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2024-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/1758-2229.70022","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142404527","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Compared to the ambient river water, biofilms grown for 6, 12, and 18 months in the River Rhine contained up to 10 times more MPs. Between 70% and 78% of all MPs were smaller than 50 μm. In laboratory experiments, clay tiles covered with 1-month-old naturally grown biofilm retained 6–12 times more MPs than clay tiles without biofilm coverage. Furthermore, the ingestion of MPs of 6 and 10 μm by the ciliate Stentor coeruleus was confirmed, and a positive correlation between ingestion rates and ambient MP concentrations was found. The results are relevant for particle transport models in riverine systems, risk assessment of MPs regarding their distribution and fate in the aquatic environment, and the effects of MPs on micro- and macroorganisms.","PeriodicalId":163,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Microbiology Reports","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2024-10-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/1758-2229.70016","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142386736","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, most marine microorganisms lack the complete biosynthetic pathway for this compound and must acquire thiamin, or precursor molecules, from the dissolved pool. The most common version of Vitamin B1 auxotrophy is for thiamin's pyrimidine precursor moiety, 4-amino-5-hydroxymethyl-2-methylpyrimidine (HMP). Frequent HMP auxotrophy in plankton and vanishingly low dissolved concentrations (approximately 0.1–50 pM) suggest that high-affinity HMP uptake systems are responsible for maintaining low ambient HMP concentrations. We used tritium-labelled HMP to investigate HMP uptake mechanisms and kinetics in cell cultures of Candidatus Pelagibacter st. HTCC7211, a representative of the globally distributed and highly abundant SAR11 clade. A single protein, the sodium solute symporter ThiV, which is conserved across SAR11 genomes, is the likely candidate for HMP transport. Experimental evidence indicated transport specificity for HMP and mechanistically complex, high-affinity HMP uptake kinetics. Km values ranged from 9.5 pM to 1.2 nM and were dramatically lower when cells were supplied with a carbon source. These results suggest that HMP uptake in HTCC7211 is subject to complex regulation and point to a strategy for high-affinity uptake of this essential growth factor that can explain natural HMP levels in seawater.","PeriodicalId":163,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Microbiology Reports","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2024-10-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11452348/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142374749","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While it is well established that polymicrobial infections can impact disease outcomes, we know little about how pathogens interact and affect each other's behaviour and fitness. Here, we used a microscopy approach to explore interactions between Pseudomonas aeruginosa and six human opportunistic pathogens that often co-occur in polymicrobial infections: Acinetobacter baumannii, Burkholderia cenocepacia, Escherichia coli, Enterococcus faecium, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Staphylococcus aureus. When following growing microcolonies on agarose pads over time, we observed a broad spectrum of species-specific ecological interactions, ranging from mutualism to antagonism. For example, P. aeruginosa engaged in a mutually beneficial interaction with E. faecium but suffered from antagonism by E. coli. While we found little evidence for active directional growth towards or away from cohabitants, we observed that some pathogens increased growth in double layers in response to competition and that physical forces due to fast colony expansion had a major impact on fitness. Overall, our work provides an atlas of pathogen interactions, highlighting the diversity of potential species dynamics that may occur in polymicrobial infections. We discuss possible mechanisms driving pathogen interactions and offer predictions of how the different ecological interactions could affect virulence.","PeriodicalId":163,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Microbiology Reports","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2024-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11445780/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142360823","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
