1 00:00:00,790 --> 00:00:07,320 [Music] 2 00:00:11,940 --> 00:00:09,260 [Applause] 3 00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:11,950 thank you all for coming there are seats 4 00:00:16,380 --> 00:00:14,290 up front and I want to thank those who 5 00:00:18,870 --> 00:00:16,390 invited me to give this talk which I 6 00:00:21,330 --> 00:00:18,880 cannot give alone as indicated on this 7 00:00:24,240 --> 00:00:21,340 slide so I want to acknowledge at least 8 00:00:26,279 --> 00:00:24,250 some of the people who have helped 9 00:00:29,660 --> 00:00:26,289 educate me so that I can give this talk 10 00:00:33,630 --> 00:00:29,670 and in particular with regards to 11 00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:33,640 virology which is not my training I want 12 00:00:39,060 --> 00:00:36,970 to thank Barry Bloomberg for making it 13 00:00:42,150 --> 00:00:39,070 possible to think about viruses in an 14 00:00:44,430 --> 00:00:42,160 astrobiological context I want to thank 15 00:00:47,220 --> 00:00:44,440 John Barris who might be known for other 16 00:00:49,380 --> 00:00:47,230 things but his dissertation research was 17 00:00:51,180 --> 00:00:49,390 on bacteria phage and genetic exchange 18 00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:51,190 in the cold marine environment which I 19 00:00:55,830 --> 00:00:54,250 found inspirational lead Wells was a 20 00:00:57,600 --> 00:00:55,840 former graduate student of mine who 21 00:00:59,970 --> 00:00:57,610 taught me more about viruses than 22 00:01:02,250 --> 00:00:59,980 anybody and who pushed a lot of lower 23 00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:02,260 temperature and salt limits for viral 24 00:01:07,380 --> 00:01:05,530 production Matt Sullivan is a current 25 00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:07,390 collaborator who keeps me 26 00:01:15,719 --> 00:01:11,770 state-of-the-art I helped to launch the 27 00:01:18,330 --> 00:01:15,729 UW astrobiology program I sit in 28 00:01:19,410 --> 00:01:18,340 oceanography but what grabbed my 29 00:01:21,660 --> 00:01:19,420 attention the most 30 00:01:23,609 --> 00:01:21,670 about this field was that the sites we 31 00:01:25,500 --> 00:01:23,619 have to explore for life are all very 32 00:01:27,899 --> 00:01:25,510 cold and I thought perhaps I could 33 00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:27,909 contribute to this discussion my lab 34 00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:30,250 could contribute through the study of 35 00:01:36,690 --> 00:01:33,570 how microbial life manages in cold ice 36 00:01:38,999 --> 00:01:36,700 today we know or we can think of the 37 00:01:41,039 --> 00:01:39,009 solar system as overflowing with liquid 38 00:01:44,999 --> 00:01:41,049 water because we now know of multiple 39 00:01:48,060 --> 00:01:45,009 oceans in the solar system and so 40 00:01:50,460 --> 00:01:48,070 following the NAI mantra I have been 41 00:01:53,370 --> 00:01:50,470 following the water for most of my 42 00:01:56,730 --> 00:01:53,380 career even before Nai you see a 43 00:01:58,890 --> 00:01:56,740 temperature scale here today I am or in 44 00:02:01,020 --> 00:01:58,900 the last 20 years I have been working on 45 00:02:04,380 --> 00:02:01,030 the lower end of the temperature scale 46 00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:04,390 where salt keeps water from freezing at 47 00:02:09,900 --> 00:02:08,290 lower temperatures I've also been 48 00:02:12,390 --> 00:02:09,910 listening to the Inuit in the north 49 00:02:15,090 --> 00:02:12,400 where I work who I believe are the 50 00:02:17,370 --> 00:02:15,100 original astrobiologists who understand 51 00:02:21,570 --> 00:02:17,380 that ice is actually the natural state 52 00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:23,310 so in fact I've been following the ice 53 00:02:29,130 --> 00:02:25,570 and trying hard at that since we're 54 00:02:31,230 --> 00:02:29,140 losing it on this planet so I tried very 55 00:02:33,330 --> 00:02:31,240 hard always to get funding to go into 56 00:02:35,430 --> 00:02:33,340 the Arctic in the dead of winter which 57 00:02:37,770 --> 00:02:35,440 made me a lonely character with a few 58 00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:37,780 other people helping me but one of the 59 00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:40,450 reasons for this is that saline ice can 60 00:02:45,990 --> 00:02:42,970 get very cold and still have a liquid 61 00:02:48,030 --> 00:02:46,000 habitable environment within it so these 62 00:02:50,010 --> 00:02:48,040 are a series of panels I'm going to show 63 00:02:52,290 --> 00:02:50,020 you a little primer on sea ice if you 64 00:02:54,630 --> 00:02:52,300 haven't thought about it very much 30 65 00:02:56,850 --> 00:02:54,640 millimeter panels here the black area 66 00:03:05,370 --> 00:02:56,860 that you see is the liquid fraction of 67 00:03:07,620 --> 00:03:05,380 the ice with a 20% porosity so 20 68 00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:07,630 percent of this ice is liquid habitable 69 00:03:12,270 --> 00:03:10,570 space and an average pore is over 2 70 00:03:16,140 --> 00:03:12,280 millimeters in size so this is a 71 00:03:17,820 --> 00:03:16,150 Waterworld for microbes but you just 72 00:03:19,980 --> 00:03:17,830 have to chill the ice down a little bit 73 00:03:22,470 --> 00:03:19,990 before you begin to narrow up these 74 00:03:26,460 --> 00:03:22,480 spaces and when you get to wintertime 75 00:03:30,449 --> 00:03:26,470 ice you close up considerably and in the 76 00:03:32,850 --> 00:03:30,459 process concentrate the salt that was 77 00:03:38,670 --> 00:03:32,860 present in the source waters so at minus 78 00:03:40,740 --> 00:03:38,680 30 degrees woops sorry at minus 30 79 00:03:44,940 --> 00:03:40,750 degrees you have very small pore space 80 00:03:46,740 --> 00:03:44,950 2% liquid volume in here 24 percent salt 81 00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:46,750 in those brines conditions that would 82 00:03:50,699 --> 00:03:48,250 normally we would think would shut down 83 00:03:54,510 --> 00:03:50,709 life I'm here to tell you that is not 84 00:03:56,430 --> 00:03:54,520 the case but one important factor here 85 00:03:58,800 --> 00:03:56,440 or the important factor here is the 86 00:04:01,080 --> 00:03:58,810 brine concentrating factor whatever 87 00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:01,090 salts were in the source fluid get 88 00:04:05,790 --> 00:04:03,250 concentrated in these small spaces as a 89 00:04:07,500 --> 00:04:05,800 function of temperature and anything 90 00:04:11,210 --> 00:04:07,510 else that was in that source water also 91 00:04:12,870 --> 00:04:11,220 gets concentrated to demonstrate this 92 00:04:14,850 --> 00:04:12,880 concentration effect which is 93 00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:14,860 temperature driven I'm going to show you 94 00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:17,890 the temperature range across sea ice so 95 00:04:21,840 --> 00:04:19,930 here is an ice core that has just been 96 00:04:24,630 --> 00:04:21,850 pulled out onto the surface of the ice 97 00:04:26,820 --> 00:04:24,640 and the next slide shows you an infrared 98 00:04:29,909 --> 00:04:26,830 camera image of this so you can actually 99 00:04:32,100 --> 00:04:29,919 see the temperature gradient so here's 100 00:04:33,270 --> 00:04:32,110 the very cold ice at the top that was 101 00:04:35,700 --> 00:04:33,280 exposed to the 102 00:04:39,060 --> 00:04:35,710 Monsieur and the warm ice at the bottom 103 00:04:41,070 --> 00:04:39,070 that's bathed by ocean water so sea ice 104 00:04:43,980 --> 00:04:41,080 functions as a wonderful natural 105 00:04:45,870 --> 00:04:43,990 laboratory for all sorts of gradients in 106 00:04:49,170 --> 00:04:45,880 the cockle lab it would be multiple 107 00:04:50,970 --> 00:04:49,180 extremes all at once so here's the 108 00:04:54,510 --> 00:04:50,980 temperature range getting to the 109 00:04:56,220 --> 00:04:54,520 eutectic of seawater where all of the 110 00:05:00,629 --> 00:04:56,230 salt precipitates out and you no longer 111 00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:00,639 have liquid the salinity range here goes 112 00:05:05,490 --> 00:05:03,370 to very high until all the salts are 113 00:05:08,070 --> 00:05:05,500 precipitated out the liquid volume 114 00:05:10,650 --> 00:05:08,080 fraction reduces to zero under those 115 00:05:13,290 --> 00:05:10,660 extreme conditions but most importantly 116 00:05:16,050 --> 00:05:13,300 for this talk is that the colder the ice 117 00:05:17,790 --> 00:05:16,060 the higher the contact rate between 118 00:05:22,050 --> 00:05:17,800 particles or anything that's 119 00:05:24,570 --> 00:05:22,060 concentrated in those pockets so that 120 00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:24,580 includes microbial life and viral life 121 00:05:31,500 --> 00:05:27,690 or viruses depending on your definition 122 00:05:33,780 --> 00:05:31,510 so generally in this gradient here you 123 00:05:36,090 --> 00:05:33,790 can think about microbial growth easily 124 00:05:38,219 --> 00:05:36,100 happening under these conditions then 125 00:05:40,170 --> 00:05:38,229 reducing to metabolism and finally the 126 00:05:43,950 --> 00:05:40,180 strategies have to be about surviving 127 00:05:46,409 --> 00:05:43,960 and enzymes and quorum signaling signals 128 00:05:49,500 --> 00:05:46,419 like we just heard about or involved in 129 00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:49,510 all of this at these high contact rates 130 00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:52,450 we have lots of free DNA and phage and 131 00:05:58,590 --> 00:05:56,289 this is where I'll focus coming along XO 132 00:06:00,779 --> 00:05:58,600 polymers are central to the whole story 133 00:06:03,450 --> 00:06:00,789 I'll talk a bit more about that please 134 00:06:05,460 --> 00:06:03,460 go see max show Walters poster this 135 00:06:08,250 --> 00:06:05,470 evening he can tell you a lot more about 136 00:06:09,930 --> 00:06:08,260 this side of the story and Zac Cooper in 137 00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:09,940 a poster tonight can tell you all about 138 00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:12,250 the hosts that we are finding in these 139 00:06:17,490 --> 00:06:15,610 extreme environments the first thing we 140 00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:17,500 had to do was to figure out how to look 141 00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:20,770 into unfrozen sea ice so what you're 142 00:06:25,740 --> 00:06:23,410 seeing here with no stain is a brine 143 00:06:28,170 --> 00:06:25,750 pocket this is solid ice crystal maestra 144 00:06:31,020 --> 00:06:28,180 matrix around it you can see a few 145 00:06:32,370 --> 00:06:31,030 diatoms here with a DNA stain you can 146 00:06:36,330 --> 00:06:32,380 see all of the bacteria that are 147 00:06:38,670 --> 00:06:36,340 concentrated in there with another stain 148 00:06:40,500 --> 00:06:38,680 you can see these EXO polymers as we 149 00:06:42,230 --> 00:06:40,510 call them they're polysaccharides that 150 00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:42,240 function 151 00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:44,970 anti-freeze for these organisms and you 152 00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:46,650 don't even need a stain to see the goo 153 00:06:53,690 --> 00:06:49,410 penis of of them because they fill every 154 00:06:55,610 --> 00:06:53,700 pore in sea-ice you can grow artificial 155 00:06:58,490 --> 00:06:55,620 sea ice from seawater with and without 156 00:06:59,900 --> 00:06:58,500 this EXO polymeric material and you get 157 00:07:02,390 --> 00:06:59,910 a completely different physical 158 00:07:04,070 --> 00:07:02,400 structure you get Euclidean pores here 159 00:07:06,290 --> 00:07:04,080 which are disconnected from each other 160 00:07:08,180 --> 00:07:06,300 you get fractal pores here that are 161 00:07:10,910 --> 00:07:08,190 connected very important for the life 162 00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:10,920 living in there and you can increase the 163 00:07:17,540 --> 00:07:13,890 porosity you can increase the habitable 164 00:07:20,660 --> 00:07:17,550 space of this ice in the presence of 165 00:07:22,730 --> 00:07:20,670 these organic polymers so to emphasize 166 00:07:25,250 --> 00:07:22,740 to you that these little pore spaces in 167 00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:25,260 here under extreme conditions are not 168 00:07:30,290 --> 00:07:28,290 dead spaces here is our model organism 169 00:07:32,590 --> 00:07:30,300 happily swimming away at minus 10 170 00:07:35,090 --> 00:07:32,600 degrees in an EXO polymer rich solution 171 00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:35,100 we've also demonstrated this in the 172 00:07:39,890 --> 00:07:38,010 field using a digital holographic 173 00:07:42,650 --> 00:07:39,900 microscope but I don't have time to show 174 00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:42,660 you that so we've emerged from years of 175 00:07:48,350 --> 00:07:44,850 work with this image of what's going on 176 00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:48,360 in a sea ice pour the microbial 177 00:07:53,390 --> 00:07:50,490 ecosystem that lives there and this is 178 00:07:56,540 --> 00:07:53,400 all based on quantitative data so you 179 00:07:58,760 --> 00:07:56,550 see lots of viruses in here and we had 180 00:08:01,160 --> 00:07:58,770 the question do EXO polymers protect 181 00:08:03,620 --> 00:08:01,170 against viral infection in the biology 182 00:08:05,990 --> 00:08:03,630 world there's this war terminology about 183 00:08:08,810 --> 00:08:06,000 winners and losers those that infect and 184 00:08:10,970 --> 00:08:08,820 kill and lyse and so we were in that 185 00:08:13,490 --> 00:08:10,980 mode do EXO polymers protect against 186 00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:13,500 this we don't have a totally clear 187 00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:15,450 answer to that except that the high 188 00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:18,570 numbers of viruses do suggest production 189 00:08:23,650 --> 00:08:21,690 of viruses though again Max's poster 190 00:08:27,410 --> 00:08:23,660 this evening can tell you more 191 00:08:29,150 --> 00:08:27,420 eloquently about that the more important 192 00:08:33,500 --> 00:08:29,160 or profound question I've come to 193 00:08:35,810 --> 00:08:33,510 understand is do microbes benefit from 194 00:08:38,959 --> 00:08:35,820 gene exchange that they experience as a 195 00:08:41,719 --> 00:08:38,969 result of interaction with viruses and 196 00:08:44,780 --> 00:08:41,729 can this account for their adaptability 197 00:08:46,940 --> 00:08:44,790 to these extreme conditions so we have a 198 00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:46,950 new project or we're in the midst of it 199 00:08:52,550 --> 00:08:49,890 supported by the Moore Foundation to 200 00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:52,560 study gene flow in sub-zero brines and 201 00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:55,050 we're comparing gene flow in 202 00:08:58,490 --> 00:08:56,850 sea-ice a modern contemporary 203 00:09:01,010 --> 00:08:58,500 environment that i've already talked 204 00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:01,020 with you about and cryo pegs which 205 00:09:06,170 --> 00:09:04,530 represent ancient brines so we can 206 00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:06,180 access both of these environments from 207 00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:10,170 Vik Alaska we can go out onto this onto 208 00:09:19,970 --> 00:09:13,010 the frozen ocean for the sea ice and 209 00:09:23,210 --> 00:09:19,980 going too fast here we can access cryo 210 00:09:25,490 --> 00:09:23,220 pegs through this permafrost tunnel 211 00:09:28,910 --> 00:09:25,500 which is just a box in the middle of a 212 00:09:30,680 --> 00:09:28,920 frozen field and when we first opened it 213 00:09:32,780 --> 00:09:30,690 up to see what we were encountering is a 214 00:09:34,850 --> 00:09:32,790 little bit daunting as well as exciting 215 00:09:36,740 --> 00:09:34,860 if you've been in an elven dive before 216 00:09:39,530 --> 00:09:36,750 this is like diving into the frozen 217 00:09:42,650 --> 00:09:39,540 bowels of the earth so we had to climb 218 00:09:47,420 --> 00:09:42,660 down into this tunnel which is excavated 219 00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:47,430 from ice and permafrost so it's 66 220 00:09:53,390 --> 00:09:50,730 meters or so deep tunnel in here and 221 00:09:56,270 --> 00:09:53,400 through bore holes from the floor of the 222 00:09:59,390 --> 00:09:56,280 tunnel we can access marine sediments 223 00:10:02,270 --> 00:09:59,400 that are saturated with salt with liquid 224 00:10:04,790 --> 00:10:02,280 brine and this is what's called cryo peg 225 00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:04,800 by the Russians who have first studied 226 00:10:13,250 --> 00:10:09,210 these cryo peg grinds so the brine is at 227 00:10:15,260 --> 00:10:13,260 -6 - -8 degrees 115 to 140 parts per 228 00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:15,270 thousand so I think that's an extreme 229 00:10:22,910 --> 00:10:19,410 environment and these are ancient relic 230 00:10:25,610 --> 00:10:22,920 seawater brines the permafrost around 231 00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:25,620 here is dated at about 50 thousand years 232 00:10:32,180 --> 00:10:28,890 c14 dating puts a minimum at 11,000 233 00:10:35,660 --> 00:10:32,190 years so we will call this ancient sea 234 00:10:37,790 --> 00:10:35,670 water brine the Russians have already 235 00:10:39,680 --> 00:10:37,800 projected this as an analogue for the 236 00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:39,690 Mars subsurface so we're thinking along 237 00:10:47,870 --> 00:10:44,010 those lines as well here we are in our 238 00:10:49,910 --> 00:10:47,880 frozen cave and when we finally 239 00:10:52,790 --> 00:10:49,920 collected this golden solution from 240 00:10:56,150 --> 00:10:52,800 below the floor we had some surprises in 241 00:10:58,600 --> 00:10:56,160 store for us we actually have an organic 242 00:11:01,280 --> 00:10:58,610 soup under these very extreme conditions 243 00:11:03,710 --> 00:11:01,290 here is plotted dissolved organic matter 244 00:11:05,660 --> 00:11:03,720 which is orders of magnitude higher than 245 00:11:08,450 --> 00:11:05,670 anything in sea ice or sea water 246 00:11:11,300 --> 00:11:08,460 most of it is accounted for as XO 247 00:11:13,430 --> 00:11:11,310 marek material when we just put a drop 248 00:11:16,519 --> 00:11:13,440 of this liquid under the microscope it's 249 00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:16,529 jam-packed with microorganisms 10 to the 250 00:11:23,180 --> 00:11:20,490 8th per mil we were totally surprised by 251 00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:23,190 this so now we're launched into a 252 00:11:28,730 --> 00:11:25,890 complete omics analysis of what we found 253 00:11:31,699 --> 00:11:28,740 so we don't have the low biomass problem 254 00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:31,709 here however the bots the brine has 255 00:11:35,660 --> 00:11:33,450 presented us with some extraction 256 00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:35,670 problems but in any case we're moving 257 00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:37,770 forward with our omics discussions here 258 00:11:42,230 --> 00:11:41,130 am i doing two minutes ok to get to the 259 00:11:44,900 --> 00:11:42,240 heart of the matter here 260 00:11:47,090 --> 00:11:44,910 okay so Josie rap is my postdoc who's 261 00:11:49,790 --> 00:11:47,100 not here right now but she's put 262 00:11:52,790 --> 00:11:49,800 together a comparative slide here of 263 00:11:54,829 --> 00:11:52,800 cryopak brine and sea ice brine these 264 00:11:58,250 --> 00:11:54,839 are all the functional gene categories 265 00:12:00,050 --> 00:11:58,260 that exist in our current databases to 266 00:12:02,540 --> 00:12:00,060 tell you all the different functions of 267 00:12:04,730 --> 00:12:02,550 cellular life of microbial cellular life 268 00:12:08,329 --> 00:12:04,740 I just want to draw your attention to 269 00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:08,339 defense mechanisms or evidence of phage 270 00:12:13,730 --> 00:12:11,490 host interactions so in the cryo peg 271 00:12:16,070 --> 00:12:13,740 brine we have a greater relative 272 00:12:18,199 --> 00:12:16,080 abundance of those genes than we do in 273 00:12:20,510 --> 00:12:18,209 the sea ice brines this was unexpected 274 00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:20,520 because sea ice is a fluctuating 275 00:12:25,190 --> 00:12:22,770 environment I was expecting more 276 00:12:27,650 --> 00:12:25,200 interactions with viruses there than in 277 00:12:30,650 --> 00:12:27,660 the ancient cryo peg brines which have 278 00:12:33,650 --> 00:12:30,660 been stable geologically isolated in the 279 00:12:36,050 --> 00:12:33,660 dark for 50,000 years instead we have 280 00:12:38,090 --> 00:12:36,060 more var evidence of more viral 281 00:12:40,490 --> 00:12:38,100 interaction and this is just a visual 282 00:12:42,949 --> 00:12:40,500 depiction to convince you showing you 283 00:12:45,340 --> 00:12:42,959 all of the genes that the cryo peg brine 284 00:12:48,110 --> 00:12:45,350 is very different from the sea ice brine 285 00:12:50,900 --> 00:12:48,120 if I just pull out or if Josie just 286 00:12:53,210 --> 00:12:50,910 pulls out a set of genes that indicate 287 00:12:55,370 --> 00:12:53,220 phage hosts interaction CRISPR genes I'm 288 00:12:57,230 --> 00:12:55,380 sure some of you are aware of these you 289 00:12:59,810 --> 00:12:57,240 can see the higher abundance in the cryo 290 00:13:02,210 --> 00:12:59,820 peg versus sea ice and just to pull out 291 00:13:06,410 --> 00:13:02,220 one example its orders of magnitude 292 00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:06,420 higher and here is a co assembly of the 293 00:13:10,910 --> 00:13:08,490 cryo peg brine samples for genome 294 00:13:13,069 --> 00:13:10,920 beaming so if you're not familiar with 295 00:13:16,069 --> 00:13:13,079 these the thing to realize is that these 296 00:13:18,019 --> 00:13:16,079 gray layers here are our cryo peg brine 297 00:13:19,579 --> 00:13:18,029 samples these are all the genes that 298 00:13:21,610 --> 00:13:19,589 were present in those brines 299 00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:21,620 here are the bacterial hos 300 00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:24,050 that we can identify and importantly 301 00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:26,330 here are the viral genes that we're 302 00:13:33,100 --> 00:13:29,050 picking up throughout these metagenomes 303 00:13:35,829 --> 00:13:33,110 these viral signals 927 of these pieces 304 00:13:39,190 --> 00:13:35,839 of DNA these contexts which corresponds 305 00:13:41,560 --> 00:13:39,200 to over 20,000 gene calls for viruses in 306 00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:41,570 existing databases so we're not 307 00:13:48,570 --> 00:13:44,450 accounting for anything unknown yet or 308 00:13:51,329 --> 00:13:48,580 if we can ever and of these 915 309 00:13:53,860 --> 00:13:51,339 correspond to auxilary metabolic genes 310 00:13:57,160 --> 00:13:53,870 AMJ so if you're not familiar with those 311 00:13:59,200 --> 00:13:57,170 those are genes delivered by viruses to 312 00:14:00,730 --> 00:13:59,210 the host cell that improved the 313 00:14:03,430 --> 00:14:00,740 condition of the host cell its 314 00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:03,440 metabolism so here is clear evidence 315 00:14:09,850 --> 00:14:07,610 that viruses are helping these microbes 316 00:14:12,220 --> 00:14:09,860 to succeed in their environments or I 317 00:14:14,140 --> 00:14:12,230 would suggest it's clear evidence and 318 00:14:18,850 --> 00:14:14,150 just zooming in a little closer here 319 00:14:24,190 --> 00:14:18,860 these are the viral context here which 320 00:14:26,769 --> 00:14:24,200 we can link to their microbial hosts so 321 00:14:28,269 --> 00:14:26,779 that we can put together specific phage 322 00:14:30,850 --> 00:14:28,279 hose interactions that have happened 323 00:14:33,310 --> 00:14:30,860 gene transfers that have happened if not 324 00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:33,320 favored have enabled life in these 325 00:14:44,470 --> 00:14:37,970 extreme environments okay want me to 326 00:14:47,650 --> 00:14:44,480 zoom forward here and conclude we have 327 00:14:50,050 --> 00:14:47,660 evidence of viral AMG's for EXO polymer 328 00:14:51,820 --> 00:14:50,060 production for cryo tolerance Osmo 329 00:14:53,350 --> 00:14:51,830 tolerance membrane fluidity so we're 330 00:14:55,570 --> 00:14:53,360 getting very close to supporting our 331 00:14:58,540 --> 00:14:55,580 hypothesis and I would just end by 332 00:15:00,970 --> 00:14:58,550 saying that as we search for microbial 333 00:15:04,030 --> 00:15:00,980 life as we know it what we're really 334 00:15:06,850 --> 00:15:04,040 searching for is this Co evolving pair 335 00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:06,860 or sets of on the spectrum of life 336 00:15:11,350 --> 00:15:09,410 between microbes and viruses which is 337 00:15:17,980 --> 00:15:11,360 going to complicate our search but make 338 00:15:23,090 --> 00:15:21,379 all right Thank You Jody so let's start 339 00:15:25,340 --> 00:15:23,100 off with a couple of quick questions for 340 00:15:26,930 --> 00:15:25,350 Jody and by the way for anybody who just 341 00:15:28,790 --> 00:15:26,940 came in here we're gonna spend the next 342 00:15:30,860 --> 00:15:28,800 15 minutes it's kind of a break time so 343 00:15:32,329 --> 00:15:30,870 we'll have questions for Jody and also 344 00:15:34,879 --> 00:15:32,339 for Rebecca for the first talk of the 345 00:15:36,620 --> 00:15:34,889 session yeah I'm Charlie lineweaver from 346 00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:36,630 the Australian National University it 347 00:15:39,470 --> 00:15:38,010 seems to me that the environment that 348 00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:39,480 you're investigating here is one of the 349 00:15:43,759 --> 00:15:41,490 few places on earth where you have I 350 00:15:46,790 --> 00:15:43,769 mean I've been told by many people that 351 00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:46,800 the ice caps go away and for most life 352 00:15:50,569 --> 00:15:48,930 of the earth that they haven't had ice 353 00:15:52,310 --> 00:15:50,579 caps so you're an environment which you 354 00:15:53,660 --> 00:15:52,320 have ice caps on you don't you have and 355 00:15:56,960 --> 00:15:53,670 you don't I would have thought that that 356 00:15:58,759 --> 00:15:56,970 would but you talk about cryo tolerance 357 00:16:00,889 --> 00:15:58,769 and the genes for cryo tolerance I mean 358 00:16:02,389 --> 00:16:00,899 I'm not sure how soon we will lose our 359 00:16:03,860 --> 00:16:02,399 ice cap but when we do we'll all the 360 00:16:05,930 --> 00:16:03,870 organisms that you're studying go 361 00:16:07,639 --> 00:16:05,940 extinct or will they somehow try to 362 00:16:10,100 --> 00:16:07,649 adapt to go further south and then they 363 00:16:12,199 --> 00:16:10,110 will have to revolve cryo tolerance 364 00:16:13,879 --> 00:16:12,209 genes that you're analyzing here when we 365 00:16:15,350 --> 00:16:13,889 get another ice cap etc cos that are 366 00:16:17,060 --> 00:16:15,360 excited for thousands and thousands of 367 00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:17,070 times yeah no I understand your question 368 00:16:22,069 --> 00:16:20,010 if you all didn't get it it's how how do 369 00:16:24,110 --> 00:16:22,079 these cold adapted microbes survive 370 00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:24,120 between periods when we don't have ice 371 00:16:29,019 --> 00:16:26,850 on the planet so we don't have a clear 372 00:16:32,059 --> 00:16:29,029 answer on that but my view is that 373 00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:32,069 microorganisms retain the memories the 374 00:16:36,199 --> 00:16:34,050 genetic memories of where they have been 375 00:16:39,699 --> 00:16:36,209 before for very long periods of time as 376 00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:39,709 long as there's some minimally cold 377 00:16:44,150 --> 00:16:41,970 environmental refuge for them on the 378 00:16:45,860 --> 00:16:44,160 planet it could be in the deep sea at 15 379 00:16:48,199 --> 00:16:45,870 degrees you know it doesn't have to be 380 00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:48,209 frozen they can retain the genetic 381 00:16:53,870 --> 00:16:50,250 information they need and if they don't 382 00:16:56,689 --> 00:16:53,880 retain it the pool of viral the pan 383 00:16:58,579 --> 00:16:56,699 viral genome will retain it for them so 384 00:17:01,610 --> 00:16:58,589 you see evidence of trout tolerant genes 385 00:17:03,559 --> 00:17:01,620 that have that are older than multiple 386 00:17:05,900 --> 00:17:03,569 episodes of ice caps going away coming 387 00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:05,910 back going away coming back great 388 00:17:10,789 --> 00:17:08,730 question I'm gonna look at that I was 389 00:17:13,579 --> 00:17:10,799 gonna ask something similar could can 390 00:17:16,460 --> 00:17:13,589 you see differences in the mutation rate 391 00:17:18,470 --> 00:17:16,470 or the sequences of some of the 392 00:17:21,530 --> 00:17:18,480 auxiliary metabolic and and then a 393 00:17:24,020 --> 00:17:21,540 related question would be I just sort of 394 00:17:25,789 --> 00:17:24,030 CRISPR in terms of gain editing and the 395 00:17:27,590 --> 00:17:25,799 insertion of a CRISPR gene itself does 396 00:17:29,030 --> 00:17:27,600 that alter the flanking sequences that 397 00:17:33,530 --> 00:17:29,040 that will alter all 398 00:17:36,410 --> 00:17:33,540 we changed the nucleotide sequence that 399 00:17:38,540 --> 00:17:36,420 within the gene itself continue in other 400 00:17:42,230 --> 00:17:38,550 words can you can you sequence these 401 00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:42,240 Kings and see how they're evolving the 402 00:17:46,670 --> 00:17:44,850 same yes so I've now gotten involved in 403 00:17:51,130 --> 00:17:46,680 your second question mentally what was 404 00:17:55,610 --> 00:17:51,140 the first one just again are the genes 405 00:17:57,440 --> 00:17:55,620 themselves evolving can you see 406 00:17:59,570 --> 00:17:57,450 different oh okay so I don't have an 407 00:18:01,820 --> 00:17:59,580 answer for you but we definitely intend 408 00:18:03,620 --> 00:18:01,830 to look at that using whatever tools we 409 00:18:05,740 --> 00:18:03,630 have there'll be bioinformatic tools 410 00:18:08,120 --> 00:18:05,750 where we have to make assumptions about 411 00:18:10,220 --> 00:18:08,130 evolutionary rates but we'll definitely 412 00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:10,230 be looking at that so there are number 413 00:18:14,210 --> 00:18:12,090 of ways that they could be able there 414 00:18:18,860 --> 00:18:14,220 are a number of theoretical ways to look 415 00:18:22,250 --> 00:18:18,870 at that yep I have two questions one is 416 00:18:25,340 --> 00:18:22,260 I you alluded to it but never said it I 417 00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:25,350 think and that is that viruses play a 418 00:18:31,250 --> 00:18:27,810 role and actually turning on the genes 419 00:18:34,490 --> 00:18:31,260 for the extracellular polymer is that 420 00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:34,500 correct so I didn't get to show you that 421 00:18:38,450 --> 00:18:37,650 last slide very well we all we've done 422 00:18:40,790 --> 00:18:38,460 so far 423 00:18:44,030 --> 00:18:40,800 mind you we just received the sequences 424 00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:44,040 so we've pulled out this set of a dozen 425 00:18:49,910 --> 00:18:46,530 genes that are associated with EXO 426 00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:49,920 polymer production and they are virally 427 00:18:55,970 --> 00:18:52,290 associated genes they fall they are 428 00:18:58,250 --> 00:18:55,980 genes that are recorded in databases as 429 00:19:00,800 --> 00:18:58,260 having come from viruses so the actual 430 00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:00,810 regulatory mechanism I can't comment on 431 00:19:06,110 --> 00:19:03,330 with the metagenomics but we also have 432 00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:06,120 meta transcriptomic data which we've not 433 00:19:10,970 --> 00:19:08,250 examined yet so you have to stay tuned 434 00:19:14,930 --> 00:19:10,980 for that sorry the second question is 435 00:19:18,350 --> 00:19:14,940 the EPS is is an appreciable amount of 436 00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:18,360 that a polysaccharide and if so are the 437 00:19:23,780 --> 00:19:21,450 dominant sugars uronic acids like Laki 438 00:19:25,940 --> 00:19:23,790 Roenick acid and glucuronic acid like 439 00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:25,950 you find in other organisms other marine 440 00:19:32,390 --> 00:19:30,210 organisms like cyanobacteria I can't 441 00:19:34,820 --> 00:19:32,400 answer that question because the method 442 00:19:37,220 --> 00:19:34,830 we're using for extracting is the phenol 443 00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:37,230 sulfuric acid method if we were using an 444 00:19:42,239 --> 00:19:40,450 LC n' stain i could i could tell you yes 445 00:19:46,139 --> 00:19:42,249 I believe that they're similar they 446 00:19:47,489 --> 00:19:46,149 behave like our sea ice polymers do so I 447 00:19:51,299 --> 00:19:47,499 believe they're similar but we haven't 448 00:19:53,759 --> 00:19:51,309 done the chemical analysis Carl Pilcher 449 00:19:54,269 --> 00:19:53,769 of space blue marble space Institute of 450 00:19:56,639 --> 00:19:54,279 Science 451 00:19:58,710 --> 00:19:56,649 Jody great talk I don't have a question 452 00:20:01,619 --> 00:19:58,720 but I just had to make the comment that 453 00:20:03,299 --> 00:20:01,629 Barry Bloomberg would really really have 454 00:20:06,180 --> 00:20:03,309 liked this talk because as you know 455 00:20:08,430 --> 00:20:06,190 Barry emphasized that life is about 456 00:20:10,379 --> 00:20:08,440 cooperation more than it is about 457 00:20:12,509 --> 00:20:10,389 competition and you've just given us a 458 00:20:14,129 --> 00:20:12,519 beautiful example of that thank you for 459 00:20:17,220 --> 00:20:14,139 that I 460 00:20:20,519 --> 00:20:17,230 I do enjoy thinking about viral host 461 00:20:23,340 --> 00:20:20,529 interactions as altruism and not in the 462 00:20:25,229 --> 00:20:23,350 war terminology that infiltrates our 463 00:20:27,060 --> 00:20:25,239 literature I do believe that they are 464 00:20:29,389 --> 00:20:27,070 helping each other as they Co evolve 465 00:20:32,820 --> 00:20:29,399 it's all part of one collaborative 466 00:20:35,729 --> 00:20:32,830 evolutionary effort so I actually have 467 00:20:38,039 --> 00:20:35,739 two questions one I am actually 468 00:20:40,379 --> 00:20:38,049 wondering if you have looked at plasmids 469 00:20:42,389 --> 00:20:40,389 at all for in terms of conjugation and 470 00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:42,399 transformation as potentially being 471 00:20:48,599 --> 00:20:46,210 related to any any of these any of the 472 00:20:50,009 --> 00:20:48,609 HTT that's present in these samples I'm 473 00:20:53,310 --> 00:20:50,019 actually with the NASA gene lab 474 00:20:55,499 --> 00:20:53,320 developing a pipeline for performing 475 00:20:57,720 --> 00:20:55,509 first computationally deriving plasmid 476 00:21:00,090 --> 00:20:57,730 sequencing plasmid sequences from 477 00:21:02,399 --> 00:21:00,100 metagenomic sabbith and performing a 478 00:21:04,049 --> 00:21:02,409 gene ontology enrichment analysis so I 479 00:21:05,340 --> 00:21:04,059 would be happy to potentially 480 00:21:06,749 --> 00:21:05,350 collaborate with you if you were 481 00:21:11,450 --> 00:21:06,759 interested in said anyway I'm also in 482 00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:11,460 the market for a PhD program but 483 00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:13,450 incidentally I'm near retirement 484 00:21:19,060 --> 00:21:16,730 [Laughter] 485 00:21:22,030 --> 00:21:19,070 as far as I know we haven't looked at 486 00:21:24,490 --> 00:21:22,040 the plasmid question and anybody from my 487 00:21:48,770 --> 00:21:24,500 lab elaborate on this I don't think so I 488 00:21:53,100 --> 00:21:51,390 we have a whole list of questions that 489 00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:53,110 we can now address now that we're 490 00:21:57,060 --> 00:21:55,330 sitting on all this omics data and we're 491 00:21:58,400 --> 00:21:57,070 just at the start of it so forgive us 492 00:22:01,710 --> 00:21:58,410 that we haven't got all your answers 493 00:22:03,450 --> 00:22:01,720 wait the second question was so I saw 494 00:22:05,910 --> 00:22:03,460 that a lot of the genes I came up for 495 00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:05,920 CRISPR associated and I've heard that 496 00:22:09,170 --> 00:22:07,570 just you know I guess in extreme 497 00:22:12,180 --> 00:22:09,180 environments you tend to have very 498 00:22:14,340 --> 00:22:12,190 streamlined and very confined genetic 499 00:22:15,210 --> 00:22:14,350 Suites so I'm wondering if you know what 500 00:22:16,740 --> 00:22:15,220 you're seeing is that you're seeing 501 00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:16,750 CRISPR Association and implying 502 00:22:21,990 --> 00:22:20,050 microbial all you know microbial viral 503 00:22:26,310 --> 00:22:22,000 resistance genes right but also seeing 504 00:22:28,500 --> 00:22:26,320 these metabolic genes so it's a surprise 505 00:22:30,270 --> 00:22:28,510 isn't it I had gone into this thinking 506 00:22:32,340 --> 00:22:30,280 that at the low end of the temperature 507 00:22:34,470 --> 00:22:32,350 range we would see fewer and fewer 508 00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:34,480 crispers there's some literature that 509 00:22:39,510 --> 00:22:37,450 suggests that and so we haven't 510 00:22:41,610 --> 00:22:39,520 completed our comparative analyses of 511 00:22:42,930 --> 00:22:41,620 how many crispers in these extreme 512 00:22:45,020 --> 00:22:42,940 environments compared to other 513 00:22:48,570 --> 00:22:45,030 environments but it's looking 514 00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:48,580 surprisingly high I don't know how to 515 00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:49,330 explain that 516 00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:51,730 except that extreme environments are 517 00:22:55,830 --> 00:22:54,010 always presenting us with surprises and 518 00:23:09,810 --> 00:22:55,840 we need to keep an open mind about our 519 00:23:11,610 --> 00:23:09,820 mindsets involving if you could comment 520 00:23:14,490 --> 00:23:11,620 sort of on the competition because I 521 00:23:17,730 --> 00:23:14,500 thought that that's a shockingly really 522 00:23:19,860 --> 00:23:17,740 high biomass environment and so maybe 523 00:23:22,350 --> 00:23:19,870 you probably haven't looked at any of 524 00:23:25,020 --> 00:23:22,360 these antimicrobial compounds or genes 525 00:23:26,580 --> 00:23:25,030 or anything but if you were to kind of 526 00:23:29,550 --> 00:23:26,590 speculate what could you speculate about 527 00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:29,560 that you're right we haven't looked at 528 00:23:34,290 --> 00:23:31,810 those things yet we have other measures 529 00:23:36,510 --> 00:23:34,300 of activity going on in these samples we 530 00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:36,520 have measures of high extracellular 531 00:23:41,220 --> 00:23:39,010 enzyme activity or high for the 532 00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:41,230 conditions that they're under we have 533 00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:43,170 evidence of dividing cells we have 534 00:23:47,580 --> 00:23:45,730 evidence from bond cat which is a 535 00:23:52,950 --> 00:23:47,590 relatively new method that tells you 536 00:23:56,790 --> 00:23:52,960 that they're consuming amino acids we 537 00:23:58,470 --> 00:23:56,800 don't have any any anything that I can 538 00:23:59,440 --> 00:23:58,480 use to comment on the competition 539 00:24:03,100 --> 00:23:59,450 question other 540 00:24:06,039 --> 00:24:03,110 than the bacteria to virus ratio which 541 00:24:09,879 --> 00:24:06,049 is surprisingly low it's on the order of 542 00:24:12,039 --> 00:24:09,889 one or less in the cryo peg Bryon's it's 543 00:24:13,539 --> 00:24:12,049 higher in the sea-ice brines which is 544 00:24:16,570 --> 00:24:13,549 why i was expecting to see more 545 00:24:18,279 --> 00:24:16,580 infection and more crispers and more 546 00:24:20,110 --> 00:24:18,289 interaction at the competitive level 547 00:24:22,419 --> 00:24:20,120 they're at the lysis level how would 548 00:24:25,889 --> 00:24:22,429 that compare to like just outside soil 549 00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:25,899 environment beats me we'll have to look 550 00:24:33,340 --> 00:24:31,490 I'm an oceanographer thank you for a 551 00:24:36,759 --> 00:24:33,350 really wonderful talk Frank Rosen's why 552 00:24:38,620 --> 00:24:36,769 Georgia Tech a couple of related 553 00:24:40,659 --> 00:24:38,630 questions and questions that sort of 554 00:24:43,389 --> 00:24:40,669 feedback on to the an early question 555 00:24:45,909 --> 00:24:43,399 about mutation rate and that is you know 556 00:24:49,210 --> 00:24:45,919 what are the you know what handle do you 557 00:24:51,759 --> 00:24:49,220 have on generation time in in the in the 558 00:24:55,330 --> 00:24:51,769 sea-ice versus the cryo pegs and then 559 00:24:58,240 --> 00:24:55,340 related to that question is you know 560 00:25:01,509 --> 00:24:58,250 what what are the sources of primary 561 00:25:04,180 --> 00:25:01,519 productivity and is that is that 562 00:25:07,120 --> 00:25:04,190 continuous and slow or is it episodic 563 00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:07,130 and again if you could contrast those 564 00:25:11,950 --> 00:25:10,610 two okay so in sea ice it depends on 565 00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:11,960 where you are in the ice but if you're 566 00:25:15,789 --> 00:25:13,970 at the bottom of the ice where light 567 00:25:17,620 --> 00:25:15,799 penetrates and nutrients are from below 568 00:25:20,259 --> 00:25:17,630 you have plenty of primary production 569 00:25:24,730 --> 00:25:20,269 through ice algae which Jody young will 570 00:25:27,009 --> 00:25:24,740 talk about shortly in the cryo peg it's 571 00:25:30,430 --> 00:25:27,019 totally dark and has been totally dark 572 00:25:31,659 --> 00:25:30,440 for 50,000 years we have some evidence I 573 00:25:32,350 --> 00:25:31,669 don't know if she's going to talk about 574 00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:32,360 this or not 575 00:25:38,310 --> 00:25:34,850 of Rubisco genes and there that could be 576 00:25:42,100 --> 00:25:38,320 utilized by chemoautotrophs 577 00:25:44,769 --> 00:25:42,110 but they would be a very rare in 578 00:25:47,049 --> 00:25:44,779 occurrence because our data is telling 579 00:25:50,379 --> 00:25:47,059 us that this swamp of bacteria are 580 00:25:52,060 --> 00:25:50,389 heterotrophic bacteria so it is a puzzle 581 00:25:54,159 --> 00:25:52,070 as to where all the carbon is coming 582 00:25:56,789 --> 00:25:54,169 from and we are definitely puzzling over 583 00:25:59,649 --> 00:25:56,799 that trying to get datings on things and 584 00:26:01,960 --> 00:25:59,659 sources of organics here and it's a it's 585 00:26:06,330 --> 00:26:01,970 a difficult question and I think I've 586 00:26:08,909 --> 00:26:06,340 probably forgotten your first really 587 00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:08,919 wonderful systems okay thank you it's a 588 00:26:12,269 --> 00:26:10,450 wonderful system but there are a lot of 589 00:26:15,630 --> 00:26:12,279 unknowns about it that and a lot of 590 00:26:17,370 --> 00:26:15,640 things we have to wrestle with hi Jodi 591 00:26:18,060 --> 00:26:17,380 sorry yeah I guess I'll be the last 592 00:26:19,860 --> 00:26:18,070 question 593 00:26:22,380 --> 00:26:19,870 yes and he's the one that invited me to 594 00:26:23,909 --> 00:26:22,390 do this oh thank you thank you so much 595 00:26:26,580 --> 00:26:23,919 for coming out it was a great talk it's 596 00:26:27,779 --> 00:26:26,590 exciting for the AMG's you know they can 597 00:26:29,909 --> 00:26:27,789 be hard to discover and now you guys are 598 00:26:31,620 --> 00:26:29,919 doing more work where there are other 599 00:26:33,690 --> 00:26:31,630 AMG's that you didn't talk about for the 600 00:26:35,130 --> 00:26:33,700 sake of time did you find anything for 601 00:26:37,710 --> 00:26:35,140 antifreeze proteins or anything else 602 00:26:40,139 --> 00:26:37,720 like that yeah yeah 603 00:26:40,950 --> 00:26:40,149 I haven't listed them out oh yes I was 604 00:26:44,460 --> 00:26:40,960 thinking these are all we have 605 00:26:47,039 --> 00:26:44,470 comparable tables for the cryo tolerance 606 00:26:49,279 --> 00:26:47,049 Osmo tolerance membrane fluidity out of 607 00:26:52,470 --> 00:26:49,289 Matt Sullivan's lab jeeping zong his 608 00:26:54,980 --> 00:26:52,480 postdoc has identified a lipid 609 00:26:57,889 --> 00:26:54,990 desaturates which keeps the membrane 610 00:27:02,310 --> 00:26:57,899 fluid under very extreme cold conditions 611 00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:02,320 that is an AMG virally transferred he's 612 00:27:08,430 --> 00:27:04,330 identified that in the virus from the 613 00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:08,440 cryo pegs so so yes we have some very 614 00:27:12,899 --> 00:27:10,330 clear evidence there I also wondered 615 00:27:14,940 --> 00:27:12,909 there's this idea of this art BGM system 616 00:27:17,430 --> 00:27:14,950 where it's virus communication via 617 00:27:19,289 --> 00:27:17,440 adapting the host quorum sensing if you 618 00:27:20,820 --> 00:27:19,299 think maybe here they're producing this 619 00:27:23,430 --> 00:27:20,830 eat they're helping the host produces 620 00:27:25,110 --> 00:27:23,440 EPS and maybe they're communicating to 621 00:27:26,460 --> 00:27:25,120 have these guided decisions of when to 622 00:27:28,649 --> 00:27:26,470 burst out of the host and when not to 623 00:27:33,090 --> 00:27:28,659 and that might affect the virus host 624 00:27:34,470 --> 00:27:33,100 abundance very cool idea yeah we don't 625 00:27:38,370 --> 00:27:34,480 we haven't measured quorum sensing 626 00:27:44,580 --> 00:27:38,380 compounds here we'd be happy to give her
