Why so hard for Classical Marine Biologists and
Microbiologists?
• Enormous # and diversity of microorganisms,
• Difficult to culture and study in the lab, etc.

Discoverynth
1,500 liters of water
• 1.045 x 109 new bp of non-redundant sequence,• >1,800 new “species”,• ~148 new bacterial phylotypes,• 1.2 x 106 new protein sequences,
– ~70,000 novel (no match in the database),
• etc."We chose the Sargasso seas because it was supposed to be a marine " says Venter wryly. "The assumption was low diversity there because of the desert, extremely low nutrients.” - Venter (Bio-IT World, 4/16/04)

Points to Ponder
What about Unitigs, and the assembly of an environmental sample?
All data went to Genbank.

Detection of Viruses in the OceanProblems
• Large viruses (0.1 µm–0.22 µm) get caught in the filters because of their size and geometric shape,
• Small free living phages flow through the filter,
• When filtrating large volumes, biomass accumulates on the filter and viruses get caught,
• Most viruses found within the aquatic microbial communities studies seemed to be in the lytic infection cycle.
![Page 18: Why so hard for Classical Marine Biologists and Microbiologists?](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56814446550346895db0e415/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Lytic vs Lysogenic
viral DNA isincorporated intothe host genome.

Metagenomic Assembly
Unitigs using 98% or 94% homology for overlap
Scaffolding
Consensus sequence
![Page 24: Why so hard for Classical Marine Biologists and Microbiologists?](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56814446550346895db0e415/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
New uses for shotgun sequencing and assembly;• Multiple organisms at once,
• Likely novel organisms.
Metagenomic Assembly
Problems?• Mate-pair data relied on more heavily, since overlap coverage is low or unknown,
• Need verification of assembly somehow?

• Phylogeny trees generated– Multiple sequence alignments CLUSTALW– Used only long, fairly homologous samples
• PHYLIP used to build trees– Based on difference matrix

Identification of Viral Sequences
• Data from microbial fraction of water samples was examined
• Looked for viral sequences by comparison to the NCBI non-redundant protein database
• 154,662 viral peptide sequences were identified
• Approximately 3% of predicted proteins were identified as viral sequences
• Number of viral sequences thought to be largely underestimated
![Page 33: Why so hard for Classical Marine Biologists and Microbiologists?](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56814446550346895db0e415/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Classification through Protein Clustering
• Of 154,662 viral peptide sequences, 117,123 or 76% fell within 380 protein clusters containing at least 20 proteins
• Remaining sequences fell within clusters containing less than 20 proteins
• Average cluster size contained 258 peptide sequences

All viral gene families were positively correlated with water temperature
Some viral gene families were correlated with salinity, water depth, and calculated trophic status indices
Different environmental pressures may influence acquisition of these genes by viruses
Table S7 shows the correlations between viral gene families and environmental parameters
![Page 38: Why so hard for Classical Marine Biologists and Microbiologists?](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56814446550346895db0e415/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Neighbor Functional Linkage Analysis
• Used to verify that they were on viral instead of pro-viral regions of bacterial genomes
• Proportion of viral same-scaffold ORFs range from 32% to 92% for the metabolic gene families studied
• Occurrence of viral neighbors on same scaffolds as host-derived viral genes supports hypothesis that sources of the sequences are viruses rather than bacterial
![Page 39: Why so hard for Classical Marine Biologists and Microbiologists?](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56814446550346895db0e415/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Viruses with Metabolic Genes
• Through lateral gene transfer, metabolic genes can be acquired from the host
• Acquisition, retention, and expression of metabolic genes may increase fitness
• Key metabolic processes and pathways running during infection allows maximum replication
• Previous studies on host-derived metabolic viral genes has been on the photosynthesis genes psbA and psbD of a cyanophage
• Previous studies did not focus on abundance or distribution of these genes in the oceans
![Page 40: Why so hard for Classical Marine Biologists and Microbiologists?](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56814446550346895db0e415/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Host-Derived Metabolic Gene Families
• In aquatic viral communities sampled, host-derived genes were found widely distributed in significant proportions
• Quantitative PCR of the these genes confirmed high abundance
• Not known if these genes were expressed at the time of sampling
• Unlikely to see these genes in high abundance if they:– Were not expressed– Did not have a fitness advantage
![Page 41: Why so hard for Classical Marine Biologists and Microbiologists?](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56814446550346895db0e415/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
“Suggests that viruses may play a more substantial role in
environmentally relevant metabolic processes than previously
recognized such as the conversion of light to energy, photoadaptation, phosphate acquisition, and carbon
metabolism”
![Page 42: Why so hard for Classical Marine Biologists and Microbiologists?](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56814446550346895db0e415/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Discussion
• Most studies have focused on the filtered viral fraction of the data
• This is the first study to focus on the viral components in the microbial fraction of the data
• Strong evidence for abundance and distribution of environmentally important host-derived viral gene families
• Distribution patterns of host-derived viral families over environmental gradients
• Evidence of interactions between bacteriophage and host organisms
![Page 43: Why so hard for Classical Marine Biologists and Microbiologists?](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56814446550346895db0e415/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Potential Evolutionary Viral-Host Relationships
• The study of the cyanophage found that the host-derived genes undergo higher mutation rates than their cyanobacterial nucleotide counterpart
• After phage acquisition, the genes could diversify
• Mutated viral genes could form gene reservoirs for the host
• Through horizontal gene transfer, viruses could promote diversity and distribution
![Page 44: Why so hard for Classical Marine Biologists and Microbiologists?](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56814446550346895db0e415/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Prochlorococcus –P-SSM4-like Phage
• Prochlorococcus is one of the most widespread picophytoplankton in the ocean
• P-SSM4-like phage may influence the abundance, diversity, and distribution of Prochlorococcus
• Statistically significant relationship between the Prochlorococcus and the P-SSM4-like phage
![Page 45: Why so hard for Classical Marine Biologists and Microbiologists?](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56814446550346895db0e415/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Metagenomic Viral-Microbial Interactions
• This study of viral-microbial association between communities was coincidental
• Horizontal transfer of metabolic genes
• More studies necessary on the viral-microbial diversity and genetic complement– Community relationships– Evolutionary relationships
