Antibacterial Activities and Life Cycle Stages of Asparagopsis armata: Implications of the Metabolome and Microbiome

Résumé

The red alga Asparagopsis armata is a species with a haplodiplophasic life cycle alternating between morphologically distinct stages. The species is known for its various biological activities linked to the production of halogenated compounds, which are described as having several roles for the algae such as the control of epiphytic bacterial communities. Several studies have reported differences in targeted halogenated compounds (using gas chromatography–mass spectrometry analysis (GC-MS)) and antibacterial activities between the tetrasporophyte and the gametophyte stages. To enlarge this picture, we analysed the metabolome (using liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC-MS)), the antibacterial activity and the bacterial communities associated with several stages of the life cycle of A. armata: gametophytes, tetrasporophytes and female gametophytes with developed cystocarps. Our results revealed that the relative abundance of several halogenated molecules including dibromoacetic acid and some more halogenated molecules fluctuated depending on the different stages of the algae. The antibacterial activity of the tetrasporophyte extract was significantly higher than that of the extracts of the other two stages. Several highly halogenated compounds, which discriminate algal stages, were identified as candidate molecules responsible for the observed variation in antibacterial activity. The tetrasporophyte also harboured a significantly higher specific bacterial diversity, which is associated with a different bacterial community composition than the other two stages. This study provides elements that could help in understanding the processes that take place throughout the life cycle of A. armata with different potential energy investments between the development of reproductive elements, the production of halogenated molecules and the dynamics of bacterial communities.
