  The advent of affordable sequencing technology provides for a new generation of explorers who probe the world's microbial diversity. Projects such as Tara Oceans, Moorea Biocode Project and Gut Microbiome rely on sequencing technologies to probe community diversity. Either targeted gene surveys (also known as community surveys) or complete metagenomes are evaluated. The former, being the less costly of the two methods, relies on the identification of specific genomic regions, which can be used as a proxy to estimate genetic distance between related species in a Phylum. For instance, 16 S ribosomal RNA gene surveys are used to probe bacterial communities while internal transcribed spacer surveys, for example, can be used for probing fungal communities. With the explosion of projects and frenzy to explore new domains of life, scientists in the field have issued guidelines to report minimal information (following a checklist), ensuring that information is contextualized in a meaningful way. Yet the semantics of a checklist are not explicit. We demonstrate here how a tabular template can be used to collect information on microbial diversity using an explicit representation in the Resource Description Framework that is consistent with community agreed-upon knowledge representation patterns found in the Ontology for Biomedical Investigations.

  PMID: 21552244;PMCID: PMC3367316;Abstract: Here we present a standard developed by the Genomic Standards Consortium (GSC) for reporting marker gene sequences-the minimum information about a marker gene sequence (MIMARKS). We also introduce a system for describing the environment from which a biological sample originates. The 'environmental packages' apply to any genome sequence of known origin and can be used in combination with MIMARKS and other GSC checklists. Finally, to establish a unified standard for describing sequence data and to provide a single point of entry for the scientific community to access and learn about GSC checklists, we present the minimum information about any (x) sequence (MIxS). Adoption of MIxS will enhance our ability to analyze natural genetic diversity documented by massive DNA sequencing efforts from myriad ecosystems in our ever-changing biosphere.

  PMID: 20718845;Abstract: Ecology Letters (2010)The Janzen-Connell hypothesis is a leading explanation for plant-species diversity in tropical forests. It suggests that specialized natural enemies decrease offspring survival at high densities beneath parents, giving locally rarer species an advantage. This mechanism, in its original form, assumes that density dependence is overcompensating: mortality must be disproportionately high at the highest densities, with few offspring recruiting below their parents. We tested this assumption using parallel shadehouse and field density-series experiments on seedlings of a tropical tree, Pleradenophora longicuspis. We found strong, overcompensating mortality driven by fungal pathogens, causing 90% (shadehouse) or 100% (field) mortality within 4 weeks of germination, and generating a negative relationship between initial and final seedling densities. Fungicide treatment led to much lower, density-independent, mortality. Overcompensating mortality was extremely rapid, and could be missed without detailed monitoring. Such dynamics may prevent dead trees from being replaced by conspecifics, promoting coexistence as envisioned by the Janzen-Connell hypothesis. © 2010 Blackwell Publishing Ltd/CNRS.

  Abstract: 1. Species differences in susceptibility to pathogens acting at early life history stages may strongly influence the abundance and distribution of tropical trees. Here, we test the susceptibility of 10 congeners of the pioneer genus Cecropia to fungal seed and seedling pathogens and compare interspecific differences in intrinsic seed defences with survival. 2. Pathogens were experimentally removed through fungicide addition and/or autoclave sterilization of forest soil to determine the relative importance of fungal versus other microbial pathogens. Treatments were applied during a 4-month seed incubation (pre-emergence) phase or during an 8-week germination phase to distinguish between seed and seedling mortality. 3. Overall, seedling emergence after incubation in fungicide-treated, autoclaved soil was twice that in live soil, with significant positive effects of fungicide for six of 10 species. Pathogen infection occurred while seeds were quiescent in soil; fungicide addition during germination had no effect on emergence. Seedling emergence after burial ranged from 6 to 58%, indicating large interspecific variation in the capacity for Cecropia seeds to persist in the seed bank. Neither interspecific variation in survivorship, nor the relative strength of fungicide effects on survivorship was correlated with seed defence traits. 4. For four species, measurements of fungicide effects on emergence were coupled with direct measurements of the fungal and bacterial infection of seeds and seedlings. For two species, fungicide addition resulted in lower fungal infection rates and higher emergence success. However, Cecropia peltata, the species with the highest overall emergence success, also had the highest fungal infection rate. This suggests that either C. peltata was infected by a different suite of fungi than other congeners, or that fungi had low pathogenicity when colonizing this host species. 5. Synthesis. Our study shows strong interspecific variation in seed survival and susceptibility to fungal infection among congeneric tree species with similar life history. These differences are likely to influence recruitment success from the soil seed bank and may play a role in species coexistence. © 2009 British Ecological Society.

  PMID: 21304728;PMCID: PMC3035312;Abstract: This report details the outcome the first meeting of the Earth Microbiome Project to discuss sample selection and acquisition. The meeting, held at the Argonne National Laboratory on Wednesday October 6 th 2010, focused on discussion of how to prioritize environmental samples for sequencing and metagenomic analysis as part of the global effort of the EMP to systematically determine the functional and phylogenetic diversity of microbial communities across the world.

  More info

  Among several soil forming factors, climate and lithology may be thought of as co-evolving controllers of soil type that act on the system from the top-down and the bottom-up, respectively. The downward hydraulic forcings from precipitation events give rise to dissolution-precipitation reactions and subsequent translocation of secondary minerals, which are typically more fine-grained than the minerals from which they were derived. Chemical enrichment-depletion patterns (a.k.a., “tau plots”) are commonly used to assess the extent of alteration of a geochemical weathering profile, and these enrichment patterns are generally controlled by the distribution of soil minerals. Depletion of large primary mineral particles enriched in mobile elements and accumulation of smaller secondary mineral particles enriched in less mobile elements is commonly observed but few studies have provided direct correlation of geochemical and mineralogical datasets. Varying levels of agreement between mineral assemblage and associated chemical enrichment may convey key process linkages that could be further elucidated with particle size analysis (PSA). In addition to helping define size ranges of well-characterized soil mineral particles, full spectrum PSA, as conducted with laser diffractometry, can reveal spikes along the particle size distribution at specific depths indicative of mineral precipitation patterns, which are hypothesized to have a distinct chemical signature (e.g., Al and Si enrichment). We collected PSA, tau plot, and quantitative mineralogical data for two catenas on the same lithology but subject to different climates in the Santa Catalina Mountains. We postulated that differences in soil development in 2-dimensional cross-sections were dependent on effective precipitation and hillslope hydrology. Differences in particle size down the soil profile and along each catena sequence was found to be largely controlled by variation in moisture content: more moisture (in the toeslope and higher in elevation) resulted in a smaller average particle size. These variations in full spectrum PSA were related to correlated variation in mineralogical composition and chemical enrichment-depletion patterns.
