Tec-help info 3. Web Seminar training 4. Presentation 5. Evaluation 6. Chat with the presenter Al Byers Assistant Executive Director NSTA Susan Hurstcalderone Science Teacher Volunteer Chat Moderator Jeff Layman Tech Support 703-312-9384 [email protected] NSTA Screenshot We would like to know more about you… How many web seminars have you attended? A. 1-3 B. 4-5 C. More than 5 D. This is my first web seminar. E. I don’t know what is a web seminar. Use the letters A-E located at the top left of your actual screen to answer the poll Where are you now? What grade level do you teach? A. Elementary School, K-5. B. Middle School, 6-8. C. High School, 9-12. D. I teach college students (undergrad and/or grad students). E. I am an Informal Educator LIVE INTERACTIVE LEARNING @ YOUR DESKTOP IPY/NSTA Web Seminar: Impact of Polar Climate Change on Living Systems Thursday, June 14, 2007 7:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. Eastern time Cold Microbes: From Global Cycles to Genomes David Kirchman College of Marine and Earth Studies University of Delaware Lewes, Delaware CO2 in atmosphere Greenhouse gases like CO2 are increasing in the atmosphere Year How much has the average global temperature changed due to greenhouse gases and human activity? A. Not at all. B. Not at all yet, but may in the future. C. About 1oC so far, may be as high as 6oC by the year 2100. D. About 2oC so far, may be as high as 10oC by the year 2100. Arctic Ocean will be free of ice by 2040?! 2040? 2004 Microbes consume and produce many greenhouse gases, especially CO2 Phytoplankton and other plants Autotrophs CO2 Organic Matter + O2 Heterotrophs Bacteria and animals Seawater after staining for DNA Heterotrophic bacteria (about 0.5 mm) How many bacteria are in the oceans? Cells per ml 100 1,000 100,000 1,000,000 What is your estimate? Fate of plant (primary) production in the oceans CO2 Larger grazers Protist grazers Bacteria Detritus CO2 Phytoplankton (plants) 50% in warm oceans Are bacteria and other microbes as “active” in the Arctic as elsewhere? CO2 Larger grazers Protist grazers Bacteria Detritus CO2 Phytoplankton (plants) What fraction goes this route in the Arctic? Weak, inactive bacteria strong classical food chains Pomeroy and Diebel (1986) [M. Webber-USFWS] Why microbes may not be so active in the Arctic: It’s cold up there! -1.7- +5oC in water -20oC in sea ice (salinity = 20%) Polar bear swim by Kirchman Are bacteria and other microbes as “active” in the Arctic as elsewhere? True False How many cells are growing and are active in taking up organic material? Microautoradiography 1. Incubate with 3H-organic material 2. Fix and filter 3. Embed into photographic film emulsion 4. Develop and analyze Microautoradiography: single cell assay for organic material use 3H-amino acids Bacterium 3H Photographic film emulsion Cells stained for DNA (0.5 mm) Silver grains, indicating uptake of 3H amino acids Arctic bacteria are active, even in freezing water!! 70-100% of cells detectable by FISH 70 % of total bacteria 60 50 40 30 20 10 0 Arctic Ocean N. Atlantic Ocean Global Average Questions? What have you learned? Microbes both produce and consume greenhouse gases, like CO2 and methane (CH4). True False What have you learned? The biomass (weight) of whales is greater than that of bacteria in the oceans. True False What types (“species”) of marine bacteria are in the Arctic Ocean and in the global carbon cycle? Answers from genomics ge·nom ic (je’ nom’ ik) adj.The study of the structure and function of large numbers of genes simultaneously. Many genomes are now sequenced. >200 marine microbes now being sequenced Draft of human genome 2007 Metagenomics (environmental genomics) Genes isolated directly from microbial communities without culturing in the lab. icophyto S plankto oeo yne ch n oco ba ct e ccu rv sP iol CC ace 63 0 us 1 Fi br D ob a ei no cter co su cc cc in o us ge ra ne di od s ur an s 4 32 AR marine P iae on um e m pn su us la ino phil hi sp o op n m d m biu s li my la cro yce yi lid a mi Ch m pal co ncto stale u era rr a l ula a l e h V P rel sp Iso Pi Gl S B/ A/SAR406 e rioform ilis up ro lop hilu Lactococcus lactis Bacillus subtili s tica ga ly rag eG Ge ob ac te r Bd me ello v tal lir ibri sm ed o e u t h ce bac Rho y lo ns te dofe trop r io rax h us ferm vo enta ru ns s thy Marine Group lopha es f iu m vib Chloro b C ellu id tero Bac in ar M Me Bacteria a” utum vicell min x p ar ium b o rothri Atop atus “Mic id Cand Actinobacteria SAR86 Bathymodiolus thermoph ilus gill sym.

Microbes are important because of their abundance and their role in consuming and producing greenhouse gases. Data about genomes help us understand microbes in the Arctic and other natural environments. What is going to happen to our climate and the biosphere??
