Title: Metagenome-Assembled Genome of USCα AHI, a Potential High-Affinity Methanotroph from Axel Heiberg Island, Canadian High Arctic

Abstract

Metagenomic sequencing of active-layer cryosols from the Canadian High Arctic has yielded a nearly complete genome for an atmospheric CH ₄ -oxidizing bacterium belonging to upland soil cluster α (USCα). This genome contains genes involved in CH ₄ metabolism, H ₂ metabolism, and multiple carbon assimilation pathways.

Thaumarchaea Genome Sequences from a High Arctic Active Layer

Journal Article Sun, Emily Wei-Hsin ; Hajirezaie, Sassan ; Dooner, Mackenzie ; ... - Microbiology Resource Announcements

ABSTRACT The role of archaeal ammonia oxidizers often exceeds that of bacterial ammonia oxidizers in marine and terrestrial environments but has been understudied in permafrost, where thawing has the potential to release ammonia. Here, three thaumarchaea genomes were assembled and annotated from metagenomic data sets from carbon-poor Canadian High Arctic active-layer cryosols.

The Impact of Global Warming on the Carbon Cycle of Arctic Permafrost: An Experimental and Field Based Study

Technical Report Onstott, Tullis C ; Pffifner, Susan M ; Chourey, Karuna

Our results to date indicate that CO2 and CH4 fluxes from organic poor, Arctic cryosols on Axel Heiberg Island are net CH4 sinks and CO2 emitters in contrast to organic-rich peat deposits at sub-Arctic latitudes. This is based upon field observations and a 1.5 year long thawing experiment performed upon one meter long intact cores. The results of the core thawing experiments are in good agreement with field measurements. Metagenomic, metatranscriptomic and metaproteomic analyses indicate that high affinity aerobic methanotrophs belong to the uncultivated USCalpha are present in <1% abundance in these cryosols are are active in the field duringmore »« less

Elucidating Syntrophic Butyrate-Degrading Populations in Anaerobic Digesters Using Stable-Isotope-Informed Genome-Resolved Metagenomics

Journal Article Ziels, Ryan M. ; Nobu, Masaru K. ; Sousa, Diana Z. - mSystems

Linking the genomic content of uncultivated microbes to their metabolic functions remains a critical challenge in microbial ecology. Resolving this challenge has implications for improving our management of key microbial interactions in biotechnologies such as anaerobic digestion, which relies on slow-growing syntrophic and methanogenic communities to produce renewable methane from organic waste. In this study, we combined DNA stable-isotope probing (SIP) with genome-centric metagenomics to recover the genomes of populations enriched in¹³C after growing on [¹³C]butyrate. Differential abundance analysis of recovered genomic bins across the SIP metagenomes identified two metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) that were significantly enriched in heavy [¹³C]DNA.

Methanotrophy across a natural permafrost thaw environment

Journal Article Singleton, Caitlin M. ; McCalley, Carmody K. ; Woodcroft, Ben J. ; ... - The ISME Journal

The fate of carbon sequestered in permafrost is a key concern for future global warming as this large carbon stock is rapidly becoming a net methane source due to widespread thaw. Methane release from permafrost is moderated by methanotrophs, which oxidise 20-60% of this methane before emission to the atmosphere. Despite the importance of methanotrophs to carbon cycling, these microorganisms are under-characterised and have not been studied across a natural permafrost thaw gradient. Here, we examine methanotroph communities from the active layer of a permafrost thaw gradient in Stordalen Mire (Abisko, Sweden) spanning three years, analysing 188 metagenomes and 24more »« less

An active atmospheric methane sink in high Arctic mineral cryosols

Journal Article Lau, Maggie C.Y. ; Stackhouse, B. ; Layton, Alice C. ; ... - The ISME Journal

The transition of Arctic carbon-rich cryosols into methane (CH₄)-emitting wetlands due to global warming is a rising concern. However, the spatially predominant mineral cryosols and their CH₄ emission potential are poorly understood. Fluxes measured in situ and estimated under laboratory conditions coupled with -omics analysis indicate (1) mineral cryosols in the Canadian high Arctic contain atmospheric CH₄-oxidizing bacteria; (2) the atmospheric CH⁺ uptake flux increases with ground temperature; and, as a result, (3) the atmospheric CH₄ sink strength will increase by a factor of 5-30 as the Arctic warms by 5-15 °C over a century. We demonstrated that acidic mineralmore »« less
