Rare biosphere. Official definition Analysis of species distribution patterns usually indicates that while a significant fraction of bacterial biomass belongs to a relatively small number of species, the majority of bacterial species within a complex microbial community are present in extremely low numbers. • Elshahed et al. 2008.

Role of the rare biosphere ? • Genes can be strongly expressed (numerous examples in the literature) • Rare taxa can become dominant when environmental conditions change • Rare taxa are a reservoir of transferable genetic information

The right definition of the « Rare biosphere » in soil ? Rare bacteria or/and inaccessible bacteria or DNA? Metagenome DNA extraction : • Soil heterogeneity • In situ lysis • Bacteria extraction (Nycodenz) • Cell lysis • DNA adsorption • DNA degradation • Cloning bias • PCR bias • Sequencing bias Rare, protected, lysis recalcitrant bacteria?
Number of colonies increased with the stringency of the lysis treatment!! Recovery of added lambda phage DNA? Max. recovery: 25% Most treatments and soils: less than 10% The clay soil « A black hole »
Rare biosphere in soil ? • Rare taxa ? • Inaccessible bacteria, unavailable DNA ?
What is the rare biosphere ?? DNA extraction: critical bias !!!! Not only to determine the extent of the rare biosphere but this of bacterial diversity.
What is the rare biosphere ?? What can we expect from sequencing? « METAGENOMICS «
Genomics: “core-genome” : the genes existing in all strains “dispensable genome” : genes present in two or more strains and genes unique to single strains “pan-genome” : “core-genome” + “dispensable genome” Given that the number of unique genes is vast, the pan-genome of a bacterial species might be orders of magnitude larger than any single genome.

SOIL MICROFLORA Abundant/Rare taxa ? The right question ? Extent of the Soil Bacterial Diversity ….independently of the species distribution ?
Extent of the soil bacterial diversity? How to get it? • Genes can be strongly expressed (numerous examples in the literature) • Rare (or unavailable) taxa can become dominant (or accessible) when environmental conditions change • Rare taxa are a reservoir of transferable genetic information
INTRODUCTION Conceptual approach: Provide new developing conditions to soil bacterial communities Bacterial community extracted from soil A Soil A Sterilized Soil B or Diversity in soil A
Nine soils selected Brévil TalmontSt-Hilaire Chinon CSA Montrond Martinique New Caledonia Kenya: Embu Congo: Black Point
CONCEPTUALAPPROACH 1. Extractionof the 9 bacterial communities Nycodenz density gradient 2. Inoculation of each bacterial community into the nine sterilized soils 3. Incubation at RT for 1 day, 2 months, 6 months 4. Monitoring of bacterial community structure evolution (direct DNA extraction, PCR and phylochip)
Two questions: • Are new developing community structures different from the donor ones and from these of the recipient soils? • Are new taxa detected?
Are new developing community structures different from the original donor one and from the one of the recipient soil? Yes: With both a recipient soil and an inoculated community structuring effect. Inoculated Community Recipient Soil • « inoculated community » stronger effect than « recipient soil » • « RecipientSoilsS7 and S9 »: strongereffect
Are new taxa detected? • A bacterialcommunityinoculatedinto new (sterilized) soilsrevealsbacteriageneraundetected in the original inoculum • Eachinoculatedcommunity: Extent of the diversityincreaseswhenconsidering the differentrecipientsoils.
Cumulative percentage of newly detected genera (Nmax = 1475 = Ngenera/chip) CS1 CS2 CS3 CS5 T2 = 6 months
Cumulative percentage of newly detected genera (Nmax = 1475 = Ngenera/chip) S1 S2 S4 S7 S9 T2 = 6 months T2 = 6 months
Cumulative percentage of newly detected genera (Nmax = 1475 = Ngenera/chip) T2 = 6 months 55% (max) of the characterized genera detected (9 soils) Rarefaction curves show a limit Conclusion: Diversity in the rare biosphere very limited?
Cumulative percentage of newly detected genera (Nmax = 1475 = Ngenera/chip) T2 = 6 months However: Diversity of conditions offered by the recipient sterilized soils?
Cumulative percentage of genera detected at T0 + T1 + T2 CS: Extracted (and inoculated) community T0: 1 day T1: 2 months T2: 6 months T0 + T1 +T2 T2 only Genera detected in CS and not later Genera detected at T0, T1, T2 and not in CS Genera detected only at T1
Cumulative percentage of newly detected genera All soil communities (n=4) All sampling times (n=3) Individual communities 1 sampling time (6 months)
Rothamsted soil phylochip saturation curve 15 DNA extraction approaches (about 99% of probes) One DNA extraction approach (~40% of probes)
Are new taxa detected? • A bacterialcommunityinoculatedinto new (sterilized) soilsrevealsbacteriageneraundetected in the original inoculum • Eachinoculatedcommunity: Extent of the diversityincreaseswhenconsideringthe differentrecipientsoils the different incubation times the different extraction techniques… the different DNA analysis methods…
Italian forest soil /Rothamsted soil (UK) Paolo Nannipieri Maria-Teresa Ceccherini Giacomo Pietramellara Davide Francioli Tom Delmont Dipartimento di Scienza del Suolo e Nutrizione della Pianta, Universita` degli Studi di Firenze, Firenze, Italy • Identification of « Italy » and « Rothamsted » specific bacteria. • (Taxonomic microarrays/454/Illumina)
Extent of the bacterial (soil) diversity / extent of the soil (rare) biosphere? Combination of conceptual and methodological approaches. Conceptual approach: Increase the range of conditions offered to developing communities Methodological approach: Phylogenetic microarrays: Limited by the number of probes and specificity /sensitivity of hybridization. Pyrosequencing approaches required.
Conclusion Diversity of Bacteria (rare and abundant) : Huge Attainable if • Collaboration at the international level • Focus on one « reference » soil
