Beliaev, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, USA Chairperson: Thomas Rattei, University of Vienna, Austria Presenters: Understanding and reconstructing the higher order community properties David Johnson, Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zürich, Switzerland and Steve Lindemann, PNNL, USA Learning from nature to build synthetic systems Matthew Fields, Montana State University, USA and Wenying Shou, University of Washington, USA In silico analysis, design, and simulations of natural and engineered consortia Hyun Seob Song , PNNL, USA Description: The interpretation of metagenomes relies on sophisticated computational approaches such as read assembly, binning and taxonomic classification. All subsequent analyses can only be as meaningful as the outcome of these initial data processing methods. Tremendous progress has been achieved during the last years. However, none of these approaches can completely recover the complex information encoded in metagenomes. Simplifying assumptions are needed and lead to strong limitations and potential inaccuracies in their practical use. The accuracy of computational methods in metagenomics has so far been evaluated in publications presenting novel or improved methods. However, these snapshots are difficult to comparable due to the lack of a general standard for the assessment of computational methods in metagenomics. Users are thus not well informed about general and specific limitations of computational methods. This may result in misinterpretations of computational predictions. Furthermore, method developers need to individually evaluate existing approaches in order to come up with ideas and concepts for improvements and new algorithms. This consumes substantial time and computational resources, and may introduce unintended biases. We suggest tackling this problem by a new initiative, aiming at the “Critical Assessment of Metagenome Interpretation” (CAMI). It should evaluate methods in metagenomics independently, comprehensively and without bias. The initiative should supply users with exhaustive quantitative data about the performance of methods in all relevant scenarios. It will therefore guide users in the selection and application of methods and in their proper interpretation. Furthermore it will provide valuable information to developers, allowing them to identify promising directions for their future work. Presenters: Why metagenomics is broken Mads Albertsen, Aalborg University, Denmark TBD CAMI: will it be dead on arrival? Aaron Darling, University of California, Davis, USA Making metametrics more meaningful or why the 1% get too much attention Michael Imelfort, University of Queensland, Australia An overview of CAMI Alice McHardy, University of Düsseldorf, Germany ISME15 | | ISME15 102 RT01 - Engineering Microbial Consortia for Controllable Outputs Description: Although much research has been invested into engineering microorganisms to perform desired biotransformations, these efforts frequently fall short of expected results due to the unforeseen effects of biofeedback regulation and metabolic incompatibility in mixed cultures. In nature, metabolic function is compartmentalized into diverse organisms assembled into resilient consortia, in which labor division is thought to lead to increased community efficiency and productivity. In this roundtable session, we consider whether and how consortia can be designed to perform bioprocesses of interest beyond the metabolic flexibility limitations of a single organism. The post-genomic era has enabled the use of global measurements (e.g., transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics) to quantitate the response of individual microbes within communities to environmental stimuli. However, in order to engineer consortia with the desired properties, we need to understand the fundamental principles that govern both structural and functional dynamics in complex associations as a function of environmental variables. Equally important is elucidation and quantitation of the means by which metabolic exchange and other interspecies interactions occur within consortia thus contributing to gains in higherorder community properties (e.g., resilience, efficiency). When combined with appropriate modeling framework that generates testable hypotheses and orthogonal synthetic biology tools (e.g., tunable genetic circuits and regulatory networks), such understanding can dramatically improve our ability to control the fate and functioning of consortia via programmable interactions (e.g., metabolite exchange, functional complementation). This session will feature cutting-edge research using both natural and synthetic systems to identify the important design principles that will allow the construction and/or management of microbial consortia to more efficiently and resiliently perform desired functions. 22 1730 - 1900 23 MONDAY 25 AUGUST 1730 - 1900 MONDAY 25 AUGUST 103 RT04 - Enzymes to oil fields; fundamental science and practical implications of anaerobic hydrocarbon degradation Chairperson: Søren J. Sørensen, University of Copenhagen, Denmark Chairpersons: Rainer U. Meckenstock, Institute of Groundwater Ecology, Helmholtz Zentrum, München, Germany Ian M. Head, School of Civil Engineering and Geosciences, Newcastle University, UK Many relevant topics are to be addressed in order to understand the ecology of multispecies biofilms: How are the bacteria organized and does this pattern reflect the function or resistance of the biofilm? What are the molecular mechanisms mediating interspecies interactions and how do they affect gene expression? The many technical advances have improved our ability to study complex communities such as multispecies biofilms, but how do we sample these, adapt the methods and interpret the results? The suggested roundtable speakers have been selected to address these and many other outstanding questions within this growing area of research. Presenters: Social interactions in multispecies biofilm at the community, cellular and molecular level Mette Burmølle, University of Copenhagen, Denmark The interplay of Quorum Sensing and Quorum Quenching in high density, engineered biofilms Staffan Kjelleberg, University of New South Wales, Australia Emergent properties of mixed species biofilms Scott Rice, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore Detection of pathogens in multispecies biofilm in clinical settings Trine Rolighed Thomsen, Aalborg University, Denmark Multi-scale computational models of biofilm dynamics Joao Xavier, Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, USA Description: Anaerobic hydrocarbon degradation has a multitude of dimensions. Novel biochemistry has been discovered that permits microorganisms to activate chemically stable hydrocarbons in the absence of molecular oxygen. New anaerobic hydrocarbon-degrading organisms and consortia are steadily being uncovered but there remain challenges in e.g. unequivocally revealing the central syntrophic partners in methanogenic hydrocarbon-degrading consortia. The importance of electrical interactions in anaerobic hydrocarbon degradation has also emerged as an exciting new element in microbial ecology of anaerobic hydrocarbon degradation. Nevertheless, in many cases it’s still unclear when and why such process takes place or not. The purpose of this roundtable is to: * Establish the state of the art in understanding anaerobic hydrocarbondegrading systems * To identify generic limitations or triggers for anaerobic hydrocarbon degradation * Identify how knowledge of the fundamental ecology and biochemistry of these systems can be best harnessed for: a. Development of approaches to better predict the fate and persistence of hydrocarbons in anoxic systems b. Develop new biological processes for energy recovery Presenters: Hydrocarbon degradation in oil Rainer Meckenstock, Helmholtz Zentrum, München, Germany Hotspots and paradoxes in the deep petroleum biosphere Ian Head, Newcastle University, UK Relevance of subsurface petroleum microbiology in the oil and gas industry Casey Hubert, University of Calgary, Canada ISME15 | | ISME15 104-105 RT03 - Multispecies bacterial biofilm – the multicellular microbial organism? Description: The focus of this roundtable session will be on the spatial bacterial organization and interspecies interactions in multispecies biofilms. Research in biofilms has in recent years shifted focus towards the more ecologically relevant multispecies biofilms and the consequences of their interactions on the species present and the surroundings. Various studies have now confirmed that interspecies interactions often cause a functional change of the biofilm, enhancing a function or product. This is a clear indication of multispecies biofilm being different and more complex than monospecies biofilms and direct extrapolations of results obtained from monoculture lab experiments to complex natural biofilms are therefore imprecise and sometimes misleading. Instead, it is now time to focus on studying the multispecies biofilm as a single unit in order to obtain a complete understanding of the consequences of bacterial species interaction when residing closely together in biofilms. 24 1730 - 1900 25 MONDAY 25 AUGUST 1730 - 1900 MONDAY 25 AUGUST Auditorium RT06 - Microfluidics to Study Microbial Ecology Chairperson: Adina Chuang Howe, Argonne National Laboratory, USA Chairpersons: Satoshi Ishii, Hokkaido University, Japan Soohong Kim, Broad Institute and Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USA Presenters: What a metagenome can and cannot answer Kostas Konstantinidis, Georgia Institute of Technology, USA What we have learned with metagenomics Jizhong Zhou, University of Oklahoma, USA Drinking from a fire hose: analysis of metagenomic data Rachel Mackelprang, California State University, USA The disadvantages of bigger data Greg Caporaso , Northern Arizona University, USA Description: Microfluidics is an area of research in which small volumes of fluids are handled. Use of microfluidics enables us to analyze single molecules or cells; therefore, this technology has a great potential to study microbial physiology, ecology, and evolution. In the past, we need to design and assemble microfluidics devices by ourselves to meet the purpose of our study. Nowadays, several microfluidics devices are commercially available for various applications: to detect single molecules (e.g. digital PCR), to quantify multiple genes simultaneously, to prepare libraries for next generation sequencing, and to capture single cells to perform genome and transcriptome sequencing. Thus, this technology became closer to us. In this session, we will discuss how microfluidics can be designed and applied to study microbial ecology. The speakers who have successfully applied microfluidics to solve their scientific questions will share their experiences with the audiences. Presenters: Microfluidic digital PCR for less-biased quantification of microbial communities in marine subsurface environments Tatsuhiko Hoshino, JAMSTEC, Japan A microfluidic system to quantify a bacterial response to temporal shifts in a nutrient landscape Yutaka Yawata, MIT , USA High-throughput microfluidics for microbiology Soohong Kim, Broad Institute and MIT, USA Application of microfluidics to solve questions related to microbial ecology Yanyi Hwang, Peking University, China Yoshiteru Aoi, Hiroshima University, Japan - Designing miniscule space for cultivation ISME15 | Pros and cons of guided metagenomic gene assembly Fan Yang, Iowa State University, USA | ISME15 201 RT05 - Is bigger better? Advice as Metagenomes Grow Description: Many of the promises of metagenomics will come to fruition as we collect increasing volumes of metagenomic data. This roundtable is targeted for investigators who are interested in current metagenomic analysis approaches as well as the challenges associated with metagenomic data. We will present a summary of tools used by leaders in the field, specifically, approaches towards analyzing complex datasets, datasets with multiple replicates, and datasets leveraging publicly available/global datasets. A broad of array of strategies including data scaling, statistics, and visualization will be discussed. This roundtable is aimed towards those interested in leveraging metagenomic data as well as those currently producing and interpreting metagenomes. It will include lightning talks from six diverse speakers who will present their advice for metagenomic studies and discuss their perspectives on the challenges and future of metagenomics. These talks will launch a discussion amongst both participants and speakers focused on enabling improved investigations in this field. Though broad methods will naturally be discussed at this roundtable, it will not be a methods-based session but rather a discussion on best practices going forward. Some discussion points may include: How do we deal with poorly replicated data? When is metagenomics worth the investment? What are the assumptions you must or must not make during analysis? How much data do I need? 26 1730 - 1900 27 MONDAY 25 AUGUST 1730 - 1900 MONDAY 25 AUGUST 203 RT07 - Microbial ecosystem in the aquaculture environments Chairpersons: Shiu-Mei Liu, National Taiwan Ocean University, Taiwan Shir-ly Huang, National Central University, Taiwan Description: Aquaculture practice, especially intensive one not only produces considerable amount of particulate and soluble organic wastes, such as feces and uningested feed, which may negatively affect the environment (Mc Caig et al., 1999; Thoman et al., 2001), but also discharges a large portion of antibiotics which have been used as veterinary medications to treat or prevent diseases of aquacultured organisms, which may lead to residues in the surrounding environment. The negative impacts of such effluents are greatest in low hydrodynamic aquatic environments where the high nitrogen and phosphorous content of effluent may lead to eutrophication and other ecosystem changes (Thoman et al., 2001; Li et al., 2003). Effects of antibiotics on ecological functions have also been discovered, including microbial nitrogen transformation, methanogenesis, and sulfate reduction in soil and aquatic environment. Add to that the fact that many of these organisms harbor antibiotic resistance genes, eventually found in plasmids, transposons and integrons, which are able to transfer to different bacterial water and soil communities (Baquero et al., 2008). Studies are needed to better understand combined effects on microbial diversity and risks in aquaculture environments, as this activity is increasingly becoming one of the most profitable commercial activities in both developed and developing geographical regions around the World (Resende et al. 2012). Presenters: Ecosystem in coastal fish cage culturing area Mitsuru Eguchi, Kinki University, Japan 28 Degradation of antibiotics in aquaculture environments Hong-Thih Lai, National Chiayi University, Taiwan Free-living bacterial community dynamics during an Akashiwo sanguinea bloom in Xiamen Sea Area, China Tíanling Zheng, Xiamen University , China 208 RT08 - The impacts of human activity on dynamics of antibiotic resistance gene flow in the aquatic environment Chairpersons: William H. Gaze, University of Exeter Medical School, UK Satoru Suzuki, Ehime University, Japan Description: Increased prevalence of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) is a serious public health issue, identified during the London G8 summit in 2013 as a top priority requiring action at an international level. We can consider this problem as resulting from complex interactions between human and natural environments. One source of ARGs are hospitals, agriculture, aquaculture, wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) and so on are also known to be reservoirs of ARGs. These reservoirs are connected to river catchments and receiving waters. The media, water, can not only transport bacteria, ARGs and pharmaceutical residues, but also allows mixing of bacteria from different environments. What are the impacts of this human activity on aquatic microbial communities? This roundtable will focus on ARG contamination in aquatic environments. We will discuss selection for and dissemination of ARGs and their transfer vehicles in aquatic microbial community with reference to risk assessment and mitigation strategies. Presenters: Selection for antibiotic resistance in aquatic environments William H Gaze, University of Exeter Medical School, UK Antibiotic resistance genes in environment – case studies and a global perspective Manu Tamminen, Department of Food and Environmental Sciences, University of Helsinki, Finland Who is possessing ARGs in freshwater and coastal sea?

Sievert, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, USA Feng-ping Wang, Shanghai JiaoTong University, China Jens Kallmeyer, GFZ German Research Centre for Geosciences, Potsdam, Germany Scientific Program Description: Large ecosystems on this planet are difficult to reach places such as the deep-sea water column, sediments, rocks, and the terrestrial subsurface. They constitute the most under-investigated and least known biosphere on Earth, the so called “Deep Biosphere” or “Dark Energy Biosphere”, since it exists without recent photic inputs. As the majority of the organisms in the deep biosphere, as revealed by molecular markers (usually the 16S rRNA gene), are uncultivated and have no close cultured representatives, the physiology, metabolic function, and biogeochemical role of these microbes remain largely unknown. Here, we call for scientists at this roundtable to discuss recent progress, challenges, and prospects in this field, with particular focus on multidisciplinary approaches to bridge the gaps in our understanding of the deep ecosystems. The energy strategies, the adaptations and the evolution of the deep biosphere will also be discussed.
