Metabolic Potential of As-yet-uncultured Archaeal Lineages of Candidatus Hydrothermarchaeota Thriving in Deep-sea Metal Sulfide Deposits.

Candidatus Hydrothermarchaeota, formally called Marine Benthic Group E, has often been detected in iron- and sulfur-rich marine environments, such as hydrothermal vents and cold seeps. However, their ecology and physiology remain unclear. Cultivated representatives of this group are still lacking and only several metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) and single-amplified genomes (SAGs) are available from two deep-sea hydrothermal areas, the Juan de Fuca Ridge (JdFR) and Guaymas Basin (GB), in the north-east Pacific. We herein report four MAGs of Ca. Hydrothermarchaeota recovered from hydrothermally-inactive metal sulfide deposits at the Southern Mariana Trough (SMT) in the north-west Pacific. A phylogenetic analysis indicated that the MAGs of the SMT were distinct from those of the JdFR and GB at the genus or potentially family level. Ca. Hydrothermarchaeota MAGs from the SMT commonly possessed putative genes for carboxydotrophic and hydrogenotrophic respiration using oxidized chemical species of sulfur as electron acceptors and also for carbon fixation, as reported previously in MAGs/SAGs from the JdFR and GB. This result strongly supports Ca. Hydrothermarchaeota containing anaerobic chemolithoautotrophs using carbon monoxide and/or hydrogen as electron donors. A comparative genome analysis highlighted differences in the capability of nitrogen fixation between MAGs from the SMT and the other fields, which are consistent with environmental differences in the availability of nitrogen sources for assimilation between the fields. Based on the wide distribution in various areas, abundance, and metabolic potential of Ca. Hydrothermarchaeota, they may play a role in the biogeochemical cycling of carbon, nitrogen, sulfur, and iron in marine environments, particularly in deep-sea hydrothermal fields.

This is a list of tools and resources that we have found mentioned in this publication.


eggNOG (tool)

RRID:SCR_002456

A database of orthologous groups of genes. The orthologous groups are annotated with functional description lines (derived by identifying a common denominator for the genes based on their various annotations), with functional categories (i.e derived from the original COG/KOG categories). eggNOG's database currently counts 1.7 million orthologous groups in 3686 species, covering over 7.7 million proteins (built from 9.6 million proteins).

NCBI BioProject (tool)

RRID:SCR_004801

Database of biological data related to a single initiative, originating from a single organization or from a consortium. A BioProject record provides users a single place to find links to the diverse data types generated for that project. It is a searchable collection of complete and incomplete (in-progress) large-scale sequencing, assembly, annotation, and mapping projects for cellular organisms. Submissions are supported by a web-based Submission Portal. The database facilitates organization and classification of project data submitted to NCBI, EBI and DDBJ databases that captures descriptive information about research projects that result in high volume submissions to archival databases, ties together related data across multiple archives and serves as a central portal by which to inform users of data availability. BioProject records link to corresponding data stored in archival repositories. The BioProject resource is a redesigned, expanded, replacement of the NCBI Genome Project resource. The redesign adds tracking of several data elements including more precise information about a project''''s scope, material, and objectives. Genome Project identifiers are retained in the BioProject as the ID value for a record, and an Accession number has been added. Database content is exchanged with other members of the International Nucleotide Sequence Database Collaboration (INSDC). BioProject is accessible via FTP.

QIAGEN (tool)

RRID:SCR_008539

A commercial organization which provides assay technologies to isolate DNA, RNA, and proteins from any biological sample. Assay technologies are then used to make specific target biomolecules, such as the DNA of a specific virus, visible for subsequent analysis.

KEGG (tool)

RRID:SCR_012773

Integrated database resource consisting of 16 main databases, broadly categorized into systems information, genomic information, and chemical information. In particular, gene catalogs in completely sequenced genomes are linked to higher-level systemic functions of cell, organism, and ecosystem. Analysis tools are also available. KEGG may be used as reference knowledge base for biological interpretation of large-scale datasets generated by sequencing and other high-throughput experimental technologies.

Prokka (tool)

RRID:SCR_014732

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on February 28,2023. Software tool for the rapid annotation of prokaryotic genomes. It produces GFF3, GBK and SQN files that are ready for editing in Sequin and ultimately submitted to Genbank/DDJB/ENA. A typical 4 Mbp genome can be fully annotated in less than 10 minutes on a quad-core computer, and scales well to 32 core SMP systems.
