Kryosfæren giver adgang til bevarede organismer, der varede under tidligere miljøforhold. Selvom den genvundne taxa kan ikke repræsentere den fuldstændige historiske samfund, kan de inddrives fra analyse af glaciale is og permafrost prøver give værdifulde historiske oplysninger om udvalgte tidsperioder 15-16. For eksempel har meningsfuld biologisk information blevet trukket fra is studier undersøger anaerob aktivitet i Grønland indlandsis 20 og permafrost studier der undersøger kulstof cyk...

Den kryosfære (f.eks permafrost jord, is funktioner, iskold sne, firn og is) giver et indblik i, hvilke typer af organismer varede under tidligere miljøforhold. Da disse substrater kan være ti til hundrede tusinder af år gamle, deres mikrobielle samfund, når konserverede frosne siden aflejring, afspejler gamle miljøforhold. For passende analysere disse økosystemer og udtrække meningsfulde biologiske oplysninger frosne jord og is, korrekt indsamling og behandling af de frosne prøver er nødvendig. Dette er af allerstørste betydning, da klima- fremskrivninger for det 21. århundrede viser potentiale for en markant opvarmning i Arktis og subarktiske områder 1. Konkret Interiør Alaska og Grønland forventes at varme ca. 5 ° C og 7 ° C, henholdsvis i 2100 2,3. Dette forventes at få væsentlig indvirkning jorden og vandområder mikrobielle samfund, og derfor relateretbiogeokemiske processer. De varmere temperaturer og ændret nedbør regime forventes at indlede permafrost nedbrydning i mange områder 2-5 kan føre til en tykkere, sæsonmæssigt optøet (aktiv) lag 6,7, optøning af frosne jord, og smeltning af massive is organer såsom jorden is, is kiler, og segregation is 8. Dette ville dramatisk ændre de biogeokemiske attributter ud over den biologiske mangfoldighed af planter og dyr i disse økosystemer. Glacial is og syngenetic permafrost sediment og is funktioner har fanget kemiske og biologiske beviser for et miljø, der repræsenterer, hvad der boede der på det tidspunkt, de funktioner dannet. For eksempel i Interior Alaska, både Illinoisan og Wisconsin alderen permafrost er til stede, og denne permafrost især giver unikke steder stammer fra moderne til 150.000 år før den nuværende (YBP), der indeholder biologiske og geokemiske dokumentation for IMPAct af tidligere klimatiske ændringer på biodiversiteten. Som et resultat, disse sedimenter giver en rekord i biogeokemisk og biodiversitet gennem mange tusinde år. Da området har lav sedimentation satser og har aldrig været isdækkede, uforstyrrede prøver er tilgængelige for indsamling og analyse, enten boring lodret i jorden profil eller boring horisontalt i tunneler. Endnu vigtigere er, findes der omfattende registre, at især fremhæve de unikke biogeokemiske funktioner i permafrost i denne region 9-14. Konkret til anvendelsen af ​​DNA-analyse estimere tilstedeværelse og omfanget af den biologiske mangfoldighed i både bevarede og gamle is og permafrost prøver muliggør udforskning af sammenkædning af gamle miljøforhold og levested til besættelse af særlige organismer. Tidligere undersøgelser har identificeret klimatiske påvirkninger af pattedyr, planter og mikroorganismer fra prøver dating til 50k YBP 11, 15-19, selvom hver undersøgelse brugte en Forskelnt metodologi til at indsamle og rense permafrosten eller iskerner. I nogle tilfælde blev borekerner steriliseret 16, 20-21, selvom den specifikke metode ikke afklare, om fremmede nukleinsyrer blev også slået fra prøverne. I andre undersøgelser bakterielle isolater 15 (fx Serratia marcescens) samt fluorescerende mikrokugler 22 er blevet anvendt til at måle effekten af rensningsprocesser. Dette eksperiment var en del af en større undersøgelse undersøger mikrobielle samfund fra permafrosten prøver dateres tilbage til ca. 40 k YBP. Det specifikke mål med denne del af undersøgelsen var at succes rense is og permafrost kerner. Så vidt vi ved, har ingen metode integreret anvendelse af løsninger designet til at eliminere fremmede nukleinsyrer og associerede nukleaser fra den ydre del af de frosne kerner. Dette er til trods for, at disse løsninger er commonly anvendes til dekontaminering af laboratorieudstyr til molekylære eksperimenter. Når kernerne blev dekontamineret, blev genomisk DNA ekstraheret under anvendelse af de protokoller, der er udviklet af Griffiths et al. 23 og Towe et al. 24, kvantificeret ved anvendelse af et spektrofotometer, og fortyndet med sterilt, DNA-frit vand for at opnå 20 ng per reaktion. Bakterielle 16S rRNA-generne blev forstærket med primere 331F og 797R og sonde BacTaq 25 og arke 16S rRNA-generne blev forstærket med primere Arch 349F og Arch 806R og sonde TM Arch 516F 26 under følgende betingelser: 95 ° C i 600 sek efterfulgt af 45 cykler på 95 ° C i 30 sek, 57 ° C i 60 sek og 72 ° C i 25 sek med endelig ekstension ved 40 ° C i 30 sek. Alle qPCR Reaktionerne blev udført in duplo. De 20 pi reaktionsvolumener inkluderet 20 ng DNA, 10 pM af primerne, 5 pM af sonden, og 10 pi af qPCR reaktionsblandingen. standarder for bakteriel og archaeorganisme qPCR blev fremstillet under anvendelse af genomisk DNA fra Pseudomonas fluorescens og Halobacterium salinarum hhv. Begge blev dyrket til logaritmisk fase. Pladetællinger blev udført, og DNA blev isoleret fra kulturerne. Genomisk DNA blev kvantificeret med et spektrofotometer under antagelse af en og seks kopier af 16S rRNA-genet pr genom for H. salinarum og P. fluorescens, henholdsvis 27-28. Kopier numrene på de bakterielle og arke gener blev beregnet på grundlag af standardkurven, log-transformeret til regnskab for ulige afvigelser mellem behandlingerne, og vurderet af ANOVA. EF-sammensætning blev bestemt ved sekventering af 16S rRNA-genet ved hjælp af flow celler og bro forstærkning teknologier og analysere de samfund med »kvantitative indsigt i mikrobiel økologi&quot; (QIIME) 29. Frem og bak læser blev forenet sammen og derefter sekvenser blev filtreret, indekseret,og repræsentanter af høj kvalitet blev udvalgt til de novo operationelle taksonomiske enheder (OTU) opgave gennem sekvens alignment med en reference-database. Opstillede sekvenser blev sammenlignet med en separat referencedatabase for taksonomisk opgave. En phylum niveau OTU tabel blev oprettet for at bestemme generelle samfund sammensætning.

removal of exogenous materials from the outer portion of frozen cores to investigate the ancient biological communities harbored inside

The cryosphere offers access to preserved organisms that persisted under past environmental conditions. In fact, these frozen materials could reflect conditions over vast time periods and investigation of biological materials harbored inside could provide insight of ancient environments. To appropriately analyze these ecosystems and extract meaningful biological information from frozen soils and ice, proper collection and processing of the frozen samples is necessary. This is especially critical for microbial and DNA analyses since the communities present may be so uniquely different from modern ones. Here, a protocol is presented to successfully collect and decontaminate frozen cores. Both the absence of the colonies used to dope the outer surface and exogenous DNA suggest that we successfully decontaminated the frozen cores and that the microorganisms detected were from the material, rather than contamination from drilling or processing the cores.

I denne procedure kunne anvendes til dekontaminering frosne prøver indsamlet fra forskellige kryosfære miljøer, fra gletscheris til permafrost. Her præsenteres data specifikt indsamlet fra is og permafrost prøver indsamlet fra Engineering Research og Development Center - Cold Regioner Research and Engineering Laboratory (ERDC-CRREL) Permafrost Tunnel beliggende i Fox, AK (figur 1A og 1B). Den Permafrost Tunnel forlænger ca. 110 m ind i siden af Gol...

Removal of Exogenous Materials from the Outer Portion of Frozen Cores to Investigate the Ancient Biological Communities Harbored Inside

Kryosfæren giver adgang til bevarede organismer, der varede under tidligere miljøforhold. En protokol præsenteres til at indsamle og rense permafrost kerner af jord og is. Fravær af exogene kolonier og DNA tyder på, at mikroorganismer detekteret repræsenterer materialet, snarere end forurening fra boring eller forarbejdning.
