Discovering Fossilized Microbes in Antarctic Ice Cores With Manuel Martinez Garcia

Manuel Martinez Garcia, Ph.D., a professor of microbiology in the Physiology, Genetics and Microbiology Department at the University of Alicante in Spain, paints a picture of what microbial life looked like thousands of years ago by analyzing microbial genomic signatures within ice cores collected from the Antarctic ice shelves in the 1990s.  Links for the Episode  New avenues for potentially seeking microbial responses to climate change beneath Antarctic ice shelves – mSphere paper.  Viruses under the Antarctic Ice Shelf are active and potentially involved in global nutrient cycles – Nature communications article.  Manuel Martinez Garcia's Lab website.  How stable is the West Antarctic Ice Shelf? – Press Release from Alfred Wegener Institute. Take the MTM listener survey! Watch this episode: https://youtu.be/CHCMO74_gIY Ashley's Biggest Takeaways There is a unique habitat beneath Antarctic ice shelves, where microbes live without light and rely on unusual energy sources.  Ice cores from these Antarctic ice shelves can preserve fossilized genomic records of microbial life from long ago.  Comparing past and present samples can help us understand how microbial life is responding to environmental stressors, like temperature changes and acidification, over time. It can also provide key insights to changes in biodiversity. Featured Quotes:  Motivation for the Research Ice shelves are like massive floating ice that are in Antarctica, mainly. They can be as big as, for example, France, the country. So, they are super big—they are enormous. And they can be as thick as, let's say, 1000 meters. So, this is a massive [piece of] ice that we have in our planet.   And beneath that massive ice, we can have a very peculiar and a special habitat in which microbes live without light. They have to manage, to thrive and reproduce, without using a standard energy like we have on the surface of the sea or in the forest, where we have light that is driving and providing the energy for the ecosystem. But in this case, these ecosystems are totally different.  [The ice shelves] are deep and interconnected. Basically, there are different oceanic currents, for example, there is one Circumpolar Current that surrounds Antarctica, and there are also other currents that basically go from the bottom to the surface, moving, you know, all the water masses.  The interesting part of this story is that every single second in our lives, this sea that is beneath the platform, the ice shelf, is frozen over and over, and then we have different layers of antiquity that preserve the microbes that are living in the ocean. So, for example, let's say, 1000 years ago, the sea water was frozen, and then we can find a layer beneath the Antarctica ice shelf, where these microbes are preserved and frozen. Basically, it's like a record—a library of microbes, fossil records of microbes—from the past ocean, from 1000 years ago until present, more or less.  And then we can go to these records, to these layers of frozen sea water, and pick these samples to somehow recover the genetic material of the microbes that were preserved and frozen 1000 years ago or 500 years ago, in the way that we can somehow reconstruct or build the genetic story of the microbes from the past, for example, pre-industrial revolution to present.  We need to think that microbes sustain the rest of the food web. So, they sustain of the rest of life in the ocean. They provide carbon for the rest of organisms, the fishes, whales [and other] big animals that we have in our oceans. And if the microbes are responding in a way that is not satisfactory, or in the way that we think can maintain the food web, this is kind of scary. And this is what we are trying to do: we are trying to go back to the past and see how the microbes are changing [genetically].  Sample Collection We didn't collect the samples. [They were collected] back in the 90s, so, 40 years ago, by a German group led by the Alfred Wegener Institute, which is probably one of the most famous polar institutes in the world. They, basically, led an expedition, I think it was in 92, and they decided to go to this ice shelf in Antarctica, in the Filchner–Ronne Ice Shelf to collect these ice cores.   And then the surprise was when they were progressing in the drilling, they realized that on the top part of the ice core was fresh water, meteoric snow that was compacted forming the ice. But they realized that below that part, there was a sea water that was frozen. And then they thought that these samples were very interesting, because they somehow store material from the past, and they shipped these samples to Alfred Werner Institute in Bremerhaven in Germany.   And half of the samples were stored for 40 years until I decided to contact the Institute and to propose this research. And I basically contacted the director of the Institute, and also the group of Frank Wilhelm, to propose the idea. And basically, I said, ‘Hey, I think what you have in your research is a valuable material that that can provide interesting answers for climate change and microbiology.' And they say, ‘Well, that's interesting. And we never thought about that.' And then we started a collaboration to dig into these questions.  Shipping the Ice Cores We had a meeting after one of the first pandemic lockdowns, when they allow [me] to travel. I went to Bremerhaven to have a personal meeting with the team. And we decided to ship some samples to Spain.   They arrived frozen and very well packaged and preserved in an isolated container. But it was really surprising to see that that they were delivered in the same compartment with a dry ham. That was a that was a funny story!  Sample Preparation When we received the samples, the first thing was to basically decontaminate the surface of the [ice]. Because when you unpackage, you have an ice core, pieces like a half meter. And then, we have to think that this ice core has been manipulated by different groups, different people. And you have to decontaminate the surface of the ice core in order to just have the center of the ice core for the for the investigation.  And basically, we adapted a protocol in order to make sure that we didn't have cross contamination from the rest of the from the surface.  So, what we did was we melted the center of the core—well, in fact, different parts of the core with different ages, from 1000 years old to 200 years old—and we melted in a very dedicated laminar flow hood that we have in a clean room. And then, we extracted the DNA from that piece. And in our case, the amount of DNA was so little that we had to amplify with some molecular techniques in order to have [enough] copies of this genetic material to do sequencing.  Sample Analysis I will say that we are in the middle of the project. We had, like, 2 years ongoing for the project.  The most surprising was 2 things. One, in the sea water, beneath the Antarctic, we discovered a very autoctonos (indigenous) viral community that was quite different from the rest of the world, I will say, from the rest of the ocean. So, I think this viral community is quite adapted to infect the microbes that are living in this peculiar environment beneath the Antarctica ice shelf.  And these viruses were carrying some genes that we think are very important for microbes. We call these genes auxiliary metabolic genes. And these genes are very important because somehow the viruses provide these pieces of information, of DNA material, to microbes that are driving important ecological roles, like, for example, carbon fixation.  It's very important, because carbon fixation is probably the primary step in all ecosystems—to provide food for the rest of the organisms. And if this is altering, or we are altering it with different factors—like temperature increase, like melting of the ice—its going to change these patterns and the rate of carbon fixation. This is going to produce a deep impact for the rest of organisms.  We are still investigating, but we think that it's interesting to think that microbes that live in our ocean now are responding to stressing factors like increasing temperature and also acidification by different ways. In fact, it is unclear—it is a very hot topic and a very hot question—because we don't know for sure what the fate of these microbes in our oceans is going to be. For example, people think that we are going to lose biodiversity. There are some hypotheses that say that heterotrophy is going to be more predominant in the sea water. But it's unclear, because we don't really have fossil records that can compare the past to the present, and this is what we can provide, or at least potentially provide. We can say, ‘Hey, we can go before the industrial revolution, before the CO2 increase, and try to compare series of different samples until the present in order to see if, for example, heterotrophy, or microbes that are heterotrophs, are more predominant in modern samples compared to unseen samples.

Further reading: Elaborate Komodo dragon armor defends against other dragons Giant killer lizard fossil shines new light on early Australians A New Origin for Dragon Folklore? The Wyvern of Wonderland The Komodo dragon: The beautiful tree goanna: The perentie: Fossilized scale tree bark looks like reptile scales: Show transcript: Welcome to Strange Animals Podcast. I'm your host, Kate Shaw. This week we're going to revisit a popular topic we talked about back in episode 53. That episode was about dragons, including the Komodo dragon. Since then, Bowie has requested to learn more about the Komodo dragon and Eilee and Pranav both suggested an updated dragon episode. We also have a related suggestion from Yuzu, who wants to learn more about goannas in general. We'll start with the Komodo dragon, which gets its name because it's a huge and terrifying monitor lizard. It can grow over 10 feet long, or 3 meters, which means it's the biggest lizard alive today. It has serrated teeth that can be an inch long, or 2.5 cm, and its skin is covered with bony osteoderms that make it spiky and act as armor. Since the Komodo dragon is the apex predator in its habitat, it only needs armor to protect it from other Komodo dragons. Fortunately for people who like to hike and have picnics in nature, the Komodo dragon only lives on four small islands in Indonesia in southeast Asia, including the island of Komodo. Young Komodo dragons have no armor and spend most of the time in trees, where they eat insects and other small animals. As the dragon gets older and heavier, it spends more and more time on the ground. Its armor develops at that point and is especially strong on the head. The only patches on the head that don't have osteoderms are around the eyes and nostrils, the edges of the mouth, and over the pineal eye. That's an organ on the top of the head that can sense light. Yes, it's technically a third eye! The Komodo dragon is an ambush predator. When an animal happens by, the dragon jumps at it and gives it a big bite from its serrated teeth. Not only are its teeth huge and dangerous, its saliva contains venom. It's very good at killing even a large animal like a wild pig quickly, but if the animal gets away it often dies from venom, infection, and blood loss. Like a lot of reptiles, the Komodo dragon can swallow food that's a lot bigger than its mouth. The bones of its jaws are what's called loosely articulated, meaning the joints can flex to allow the dragon to swallow a goat whole, for instance. Its stomach can also expand to hold a really big meal all at once. After a dragon has swallowed as much as it can hold, it lies around in the sun to digest its food. After its food is digested, which can take days, it horks up a big wad of whatever it can't digest. This includes hair or feathers, horns, hooves, teeth, and so on, all glued together with mucus. A Komodo dragon eats anything it can catch, and the bigger the dragon is, the bigger the animals it can catch. One thing Komodo dragons are just fine with eating are other Komodo dragons. As we mentioned a few minutes ago, the Komodo dragon is a type of monitor lizard, and there are lots of monitor lizards that live throughout much of the warmest parts of the earth, including Australia. Yuzu suggested we talk about the goanna, which is the term for monitor lizards in the genus Varanus, although it's also a term sometimes used for all monitor lizards. Goannas are more closely related to snakes than to other types of lizard. Like the Komodo dragon, the goanna will eat pretty much any animal it can catch, and will also scavenge already dead animals. Smaller goannas mostly eat insects, especially the tiny goanna often called the short-tailed pygmy monitor or just the pygmy monitor.

They're in shallow boxes covering every surface and filling up shelves, cabinets and drawers. She's a leading expert in the fossils, known as coprolites. They delight her because of all they reveal about the ancient eating habits and food webs of dinosaurs — rare insights for the paleontology world. This episode, she talks with Short Wave co-host Aaron Scott about the lessons scientists can learn from ancient poopetrators.Interested in learning more ancient or scatological mysteries of science?

As you walk through the white gypsum sands of White Sands National Park in southern New Mexico, your footprints will likely be quickly erased by shifting winds. So it's somewhat of a phenomenon of nature that the oldest footprints ever discovered in North America are not only found here — in perfect form, having withstood time and weather — but show that ancient humans lived here much earlier than previously believed.  A research team from the U-S Geological Survey earlier this month strengthened their findings released in 2021 that dated these footprints to as much as 23,000 years old. That finding erased previous theories that humans first arrived in North America some 11,000 years ago, after the end of the last Ice Age.  This week the Traveler's Lynn Riddick talks with key researchers from the U.S. Geological Survey team about their initial analysis of the footprints as well as their follow-up study that confirmed the age dating…and what it all means to our long-sought understanding of human colonization on this continent.

Our podcast today is with Gary Toranzos a microbiologist from the University of Puerto Rico. Gary's Paleobiology research has uncovered how ancient human poop, known as coprolites, can reveal intriguing insights about ancient diets, migration and trade among ancient people of the Caribbean, South America and Mesoamerica.Gary and his research colleagues from Puerto Rico, Minnesota, and California discovered something unexpected when examining a 1500-year-old coprolite sample from Vieques, Puerto Rico. The samples contained remnants of monkey meat, tomato, cotton and tobacco. These discoveries raised questions about the trade and dietary habits of the Huecoid and Saladoid cultures, who inhabited Puerto Rico before Columbus's arrival. Through the analysis of the microbiology of caprolites researchers aim to reconstruct the migration and diets of these ancient cultures. Listen in to HealthCare UnTold as we explore with Gary about the wealth of knowledge that can be gleaned from ancient coprolites and how this knowledge provides a scientific history of our ancestors' lives on a whole new level.

Suggested on facebook, and voted on by patreon!   Do Dinosaurs still roam the earth? Let's find out!   Check out all of our great stuff on the Linktree: https://linktr.ee/allts   Dinosaurs were a diverse group of reptiles that lived millions of years ago during the Mesozoic Era, which lasted from approximately 252 million years ago to about 66 million years ago. They were characterized by a range of physical features and behaviors. Here are some key characteristics and aspects of dinosaurs: Diverse Species: Dinosaurs came in various shapes and sizes. They ranged from small, bird-like creatures to massive, long-necked sauropods and fearsome carnivores like Tyrannosaurus rex. Bipedal and Quadrupedal: Dinosaurs could be bipedal, walking on two legs, or quadrupedal, walking on all fours. The transition from a quadrupedal to bipedal stance occurred in several dinosaur lineages. Terrestrial: Most dinosaurs were terrestrial, meaning they lived on land. Some, like the sauropods, were adapted for a herbivorous lifestyle, while others were carnivorous predators. Egg Layers: Dinosaurs laid eggs, which is a characteristic they shared with modern birds and some reptiles. Fossilized dinosaur eggs have been discovered in various parts of the world. Scales and Feathers: Some dinosaurs had scales, while others had feathers. Recent discoveries suggest that many non-avian dinosaurs, especially theropods, had feathers, which could have served various purposes, including insulation and display. Extinct: The non-avian dinosaurs went extinct approximately 66 million years ago at the end of the Cretaceous period, likely due to a catastrophic event, such as an asteroid impact, volcanic activity, or climate change. Birds as Living Descendants: Birds are considered the living descendants of dinosaurs, specifically theropods. They share many anatomical and genetic similarities with their dinosaur ancestors, which is why they are classified as avian dinosaurs. Social Behavior: Some dinosaur species are believed to have exhibited social behavior, living in groups or herds. This behavior could have provided benefits like protection from predators or improved hunting efficiency. Herbivorous and Carnivorous: Dinosaurs had a wide range of diets. Some were herbivorous, primarily feeding on plants, while others were carnivorous, preying on other animals. Temporal Range: Dinosaurs existed for a vast span of time, with different groups appearing and disappearing over millions of years. The Mesozoic Era is often referred to as the "Age of Dinosaurs" because they were the dominant terrestrial animals during this time. Fossils: Our understanding of dinosaurs is primarily based on fossil evidence. Paleontologists have discovered a wealth of dinosaur fossils, including bones, tracks, and imprints, which have allowed them to reconstruct the appearance, behavior, and ecology of these ancient creatures. Dinosaurs continue to captivate the imagination of people around the world, and ongoing research and discoveries provide new insights into their biology and evolution.
