Title in Portuguese
Contexto genômico e expressão de genes envolvidos na redução do sulfato em solos de manguezal
Keywords in Portuguese
Ciclo do enxofre
Fosmideo
Metagenomica
Abstract in Portuguese
Os manguezais compõem um bioma de interface entre o continente e o oceano em regiões intertropicais, ambiente este caracterizado por condições únicas ambientais e uma elevada biodiversidade. Este projeto tem como objetivo estudar, utilizando abordagens de metagenômica e metatranscriptomica, as comunidades microbianas encontradas nos manguezais localizados nos municípios de Bertioga/SP e Cananeia/SP, com enfoque nos genes relacionados ao processo de redução do sulfato. Para tanto, uma biblioteca metagenômica contendo 12.960 clones em vetor fosmídeo foi triada por meio de PCR específico para o gene dsrB, ao mesmo passo que esta foi completamente sequenciada em plataforma Illumina HiSeq2000. Foram obtidos três insertos metagenomicos (23D5, MGV 10001431 e MGV 10016026, com 31, 31 e 34 kb, respectivamente). Estes foram então anotados e analisados mais detalhadamente. A inserção 23D5 foi a única a apresentar genes essenciais para a redução dissimilatória do sulfato (apr, hdr, dsr, sat). A diversidade taxonômica dos grupos relacionados ao ciclo do enxofre demonstrou a predominância dos filos Bacteroidetes e Proteobacteria enquanto a análise filogenética para gene dsrB apresentou diferenças entre os três insertos, afiliando os mesmos a sequências similares a Firmicutes e Deltaproteobacteria e revelando serem diferentes das sequências presentes em base de dados. A análise de metatrascriptomica dos quatro manguezais apresentou um padrão de expressão diferencial para o cluster dsr de acordo com o estado de conservação dos manguezais estudados. Estes resultados compõem o primeiro acesso a fragmentos genômicos e a funcionalidade dos mesmos em microrganismos redutores de sulfato em solos de manguezais.

Abstract in English
Mangrove is a biome composed of the interface between the continent and the ocean in tropical areas, characterizing by unique environmental conditions and high biodiversity. Here, we aimed to study, using metagenomic and metatranscriptomic approaches, the microbial communities identified in the mangroves located in the cities of Bertioga/SP and Cananeia/SP, focusing on genes related to the sulfate reduction process. For this purpose, a metagenomic library containing 12.960 clones in fosmid vector was screened by PCR for the specific dsrB gene, and the whole library was also completely sequenced by the Illumina HiSeq2000 platform. Three metagenomic inserts were obtained (23D5, MGV 10016026 and MGV 10001431, with 31, 31 and 34 kb, respectively), which were recorded and detail analyzed. The insertion 23D5 was the only one that presents essential genes for dissimilatory sulfate reduction (apr, hdr, dsr, sat). The taxonomic diversity of groups related to the sulfur cycle demonstrated the predominance of Bacteroidetes and Proteobacteria phyla, while phylogenetic analysis to dsrB gene showed differences between the three inserts, affiliating them to similar sequences of Firmicutes and Deltaproteobacteria, and revealing differ from the sequences present in the data base. The metatranscriptomic analysis of the four mangroves showed a pattern of differential expression for the DSR cluster according to the conservation status of the studied mangroves. These results constitute the first access of genomic fragments and functionality of the sulfate reducing microorganisms in mangrove soils.
