    Abstract: Three phylogenetically and phenotypically distinct CO-oxidizing thermophiles (Alicyclobacillus macrosporangiidus CPP55 (Firmicutes), Meiothermus ruber PS4 (Deinococcus-Thermus) and Thermogemmatispora carboxidovorans PM5T (Chloroflexi)) and one CO- ... ...

    Abstract Three phylogenetically and phenotypically distinct CO-oxidizing thermophiles (Alicyclobacillus macrosporangiidus CPP55 (Firmicutes), Meiothermus ruber PS4 (Deinococcus-Thermus) and Thermogemmatispora carboxidovorans PM5T (Chloroflexi)) and one CO-oxidizing mesophile (Paraburkholderia paradisi WAT (Betaproteobacteria)) isolated from volcanic soils were used to assess growth responses and CO uptake rates during incubations with constant temperatures (25 °C and 55 °C) and during multi-day incubations with a temperature regime that cycled between 20 °C and 55 °C on a diurnal basis (alternating mesophilic and thermophilic temperatures, AMTT). The results were used to test a conjecture that some thermophiles can survive in mesothermal habitats that experience occasional thermophilic temperatures. Meiothermus ruber PS4, which does not form spores, was able to grow and oxidize CO under all conditions, while the spore-forming Alicyclobacillus macrosporangiidus CPP55 grew and oxidized CO during the AMTT regime and at 55 °C, but was not active at 25 °C. Thermogemmatispora carboxidovorans PM5T, also a spore former, only grew at 55 °C but oxidized CO during AMTT and 55 °C incubations. In contrast, the non-sporing mesophile, Paraburkholderia paradisi WAT, was only able to grow and oxidize CO at 25 °C; growth and CO uptake ceased during the AMTT incubations after exposure to the initial round of thermophilic temperatures. Collectively, these results suggest that temporary, periodic exposure to permissive growth temperatures could help maintain populations of thermophiles in mesothermal habitats after deposition from the atmosphere or other sources.

    Abstract Even though thermophiles are best known from geothermal and other heated systems, numerous studies have demonstrated that they occur ubiquitously in mesothermal and permanently cold soils and sediments. Cultivation based studies of the latter have revealed that the thermophiles within them are mostly spore-forming members of the Firmicutes. Since the geographic distribution of spores is presumably unconstrained by transport through the atmosphere, similar communities (composition and diversity) of thermophiles might be expected to emerge in mesothermal habitats after they are heated. Alternatively, thermophiles might experience environmental selection before or after heating leading to divergent communities. After demonstrating the ubiquity of anaerobic thermophiles and CO uptake in a variety of mesothermal habitats and two hot springs, we used high throughput sequencing of 16S rRNA genes to assess the composition and diversity of populations that emerged after incubation at 60°C with or without headspace CO concentrations of 25%. Anaerobic Firmicutes dominated relative abundances at most sites but anaerobic thermophilic members of the Acidobacteria and Proteobacteria were also common. Nonetheless, compositions at the amplicon sequence variant (ASV) level varied among the sites with no convergence resulting from heating or CO addition as indicated by beta diversity analyses. The distinctions among thermophilic communities paralleled patterns observed for unheated "time zero" mesothermal soils and sediments. Occupancy analyses showed that the number of ASVs occupying each of

    Abstract Enteropneusts are widely distributed marine invertebrates that accumulate high concentrations of halogenated aromatics. Some of these compounds affect benthic biogeochemistery (e.g., denitrification and ammonia oxidation), but little is known about interactions between enteropneusts and their associated microbial communities. Even less is known about enteropneust host-microbe relationships in the digestive tract. More generally, microbial community composition and diversity in intertidal sediments have received little attention. In this study, high throughput sequence analyses of 16S rRNA genes extracted from microbial communities associated with sediment-free whole individuals of

    Abstract Carbon monoxide (CO) occurs naturally in the atmosphere where it plays a critical role in tropospheric chemistry. Atmospheric CO uptake by soils has been well documented as an important CO sink and has been attributed to a group of aerobic bacteria that possess a molybdenum-dependent CO dehydrogenase (Mo-CODH). CO can also be oxidized by obligate Ni-dependent anaerobes (Ni-COX) that possess nickel-dependent CODHs (Ni-CODH) but relatively little is known about their ecology or their potential to contribute to CO dynamics within soils and sediments or to soil-atmosphere CO exchanges. Results from a series of assays undertaken with diverse soils and sediments and CO concentrations of 10 ppm and 25% with incubation temperatures of 10, 25, and 60°C revealed anaerobic uptake rates with 10 ppm CO that were comparable to those measured under oxic conditions; further, anaerobic CO uptake occurred without a lag and at atmospheric and sub-atmospheric CO concentrations. Assays with 25% CO revealed previously undocumented activity at 10°C and showed extensive activity at 25°C. Results from prior studies with isolates and soils suggest that anaerobic uptake at both 10 ppm and 25% CO concentrations might be attributed to Ni-COX. Collectively the results considerably expand the ecological range for Ni-COX and indicate that they could play previously unsuspected roles in soil CO dynamics.

    Abstract About this Podcast: The data revolution is upon us. It's said that in the last two years, more data has been created than has ever been created before. And in two years' time, we'll be able to say the same thing. For Gary King, the Albert J. Weatherhead III University Professor and director of the Institute for Quantitative Social Science at Harvard University, it is not the growth in the volume of data which is changing the world, it is the ability to use it. King describes big data as "the change in the world in which lots of things produce data." This data itself is not inherently useful; the question is whether you can make it useful.In this conversation King uses text analysis as an example of big data analytics. Social media has likely brought with it the largest increase in the expressive capacity of the human race in the history of the world. Roughly 650 million social media messages are produced every day. So, to someone trying to make statements about what those messages contain, would having 750 million messages make anything better? "Having bigger data," King says, "only makes things more difficult." The real innovation is in the ways of analysing those data.King goes on to discuss the development of a sophisticated technique for analysing social media posts according to the needs of social scientists, valuing the trend of what people are saying over individual categorisations. He describes how a "mathematically similar" project, which utilised a database of Chinese social media posts, led to an insight into the how and why of Chinese government censorship, and to a further surprising revelation.After discussing the supposed failure of polls in predicting Trump's presidency, King concludes with a rumination on big data's characterisation as a democratising, or manipulative, force.

    Abstract The Sustainable Development Goals include a target to reduce the global maternal mortality ratio (MMR) to less than 70 maternal deaths per 100,000 live births by 2030, with no individual country exceeding 140. However, on current trends the goals are unlikely to be met. We used the empirically calibrated Global Maternal Health microsimulation model, which simulates individual women in 200 countries and territories to evaluate the impact of different interventions and strategies from 2022 to 2030. Although individual interventions yielded fairly small reductions in maternal mortality, integrated strategies were more effective. A strategy to simultaneously increase facility births, improve the availability of clinical services and quality of care at facilities, and improve linkages to care would yield a projected global MMR of 72 (95% uncertainty interval (UI) = 58-87) in 2030. A comprehensive strategy adding family planning and community-based interventions would have an even larger impact, with a projected MMR of 58 (95% UI = 46-70). Although integrated strategies consisting of multiple interventions will probably be needed to achieve substantial reductions in maternal mortality, the relative priority of different interventions varies by setting. Our regional and country-level estimates can help guide priority setting in specific contexts to accelerate improvements in maternal health.

    Abstract Maternal mortality is a major global health challenge. Although progress has been made globally in reducing maternal deaths, measurement remains challenging given the many causes and frequent underreporting of maternal deaths. We developed the Global Maternal Health microsimulation model for women in 200 countries and territories, accounting for individual fertility preferences and clinical histories. Demographic, epidemiologic, clinical and health system data were synthesized from multiple sources, including the medical literature, Civil Registration Vital Statistics systems and Demographic and Health Survey data. We calibrated the model to empirical data from 1990 to 2015 and assessed the predictive accuracy of our model using indicators from 2016 to 2020. We projected maternal health indicators from 1990 to 2050 for each country and estimate that between 1990 and 2020 annual global maternal deaths declined by over 40% from 587,500 (95% uncertainty intervals (UI) 520,600-714,000) to 337,600 (95% UI 307,900-364,100), and are projected to decrease to 327,400 (95% UI 287,800-360,700) in 2030 and 320,200 (95% UI 267,100-374,600) in 2050. The global maternal mortality ratio is projected to decline to 167 (95% UI 142-188) in 2030, with 58 countries above 140, suggesting that on current trends, maternal mortality Sustainable Development Goal targets are unlikely to be met. Building on the development of our structural model, future research can identify context-specific policy interventions that could allow countries to accelerate reductions in maternal deaths.
