▼ The interdependency of water and energy resources is known as energy-water-nexus (EWN). Water is necessary for energy production and energy is integral to water acquisition and distribution. The carbon emissions associated with both water and energy sectors drive climate change. Climate change in return poses increasing stress on the energy water nexus and makes tradeoffs between resources necessary and increasingly challenging, given the constraints and uncertainty around resources. This dissertation focuses on the tradeoffs between greenhouse gas mitigation and water conservation in the energy-water-nexus and how adaptation policy can influence these tradeoffs.To quantitatively understand these tradeoffs especially under future development pathways, a modeling framework is developed to first develop socioeconomic storylines that contain local information around energy water nexus, and a life cycle assessment model that quantifies the energy and water footprints for an energy system based on input data assessing various policy and technology pathways. In this dissertation, such a framework is developed and tested and applied in the context of shale gas production in Barnett Texas.Three collaborative research manuscripts developed for this dissertation are presented as three chapters following an Introduction and summed up with a Conclusion. Chapter 1 develops sub-national and sectoral extensions of the global shared socioeconomic pathways (SSPs), as nested qualitative storylines, in order to identify future socioeconomic challenges for adaptation for the United States on national, regional and local scales. Chapter 2 develops a life-cycle assessment (LCA) model to evaluate the global warming potential and water scarcity footprints associated with multiple wastewater management options associated with shale gas production in the Barnett Shale play of Texas. Chapters 3 combines the two frameworks developed in Chapters 1 and 2, by testing the nested SSPs for Texas, by developing shared policy assumptions and quantifying them as input parameters to the LCA model, to evaluate energy and technology pathways around adaptation of hydraulic fracturing and water use in Texas. The Conclusion synthesizes the main findings from the three chapters and discusses opportunities to use the research to improve future policy decisions related to climate change and energy-water nexus.

▼ The Climate Risk Informed Decision Analysis (CRIDA) framework incorporates the uncertainties of climate change that impact project planning, socioeconomic justification, and engineering design into a step-wise and collaborative planning process to guide a technical analyst to low-regret risk- and cost-effective solutions; Research has been carried out to demonstrate and improve, through additional guidelines, the usability of CRIDA, in a pilot for the Limari basin in Chile. The added guidelines (1) offer the analyst numerically based justifications for analytical decisions to ensure a more structured application of CRIDA and (2) improves on co-design aspects by incorporating stakeholder risk perceptions and opinions explicitly in the process. The Limari Basin has experienced an increase in drought frequency and severity over the last decades. A strategic approach for adaptation is recommended through CRIDA based on an evaluation of the future risk to climate change and the confidence in this analysis and a subsequent systematic assessments of adaptation options. The resulting strategy requires the increase of water supply robustness by adding new water sources that can be implemented in combination with flexible measures for managing demand (i.e. implementing agricultural meshes and improving irrigation efficiency) in parallel or in series to create adaptation pathways. The study demonstrated the functionality of CRIDA. While the added guidelines required more processing time, subjectivity in the method is reduced thus also reducing possible bias introduced by the analyst. In addition, overall acceptability of the proposed strategies is improved by incorporating stakeholder risk perceptions and opinions explicitly in the process.

▼ The visual system operates in over ten orders of magnitude of light intensity and smoothly transitions from darkness to light using a two-photoreceptor system consisting of retinal rods and cones. As in all sensory systems, adaptation is essential for encoding information effectively as the mean stimulus intensity increases. In particular, photoreceptor sensitivities and the circuits that carry receptor information define the operating range of the system and must adapt to maintain sensitivity over a wide range of light intensities. Light adaptation reduces the amplification of the G-protein signaling cascade, such that the response per photon becomes smaller, and the light responses become shorter with faster decay, effectively desensitizing the cell.; Exposure to bright bleaching light also results in adaptation in a manner similar to exposures to background light that desensitizes the cell. In rods, which are more sensitive, this adaptation is long-lasting since they are slow to regain their sensitivity. The loss in sensitivity can be explained by two phenomenon, the first owing to the loss in available photopigment for photon absorption and the second resulting from residual catalytic activity of the photoproducts of bleaching. In the first study, I examined the mechanism by which rods remain responsive despite the bleaching of a majority of their pigment; I measured the steady-state sensitivity following defined extents of pigment bleaching in the mouse retina. In single cell recordings from bleached retina I show that alternative pathway that alternative rod pathways preserve and pool rod signals to improve overall sensitivity in the mesopic range. I also discuss the implications of retinal processing of rod signals for visually-guided behavior, and relate my findings with previous psychophysical studies on rod monochromat subjects.; The recovery of sensitivity requires restoration of the visual pigment that leads to quenching of phototransduction activity. This mechanism of pigment regeneration through the visual cycle is known as dark adaptation. In the second study, I focused on understanding the role played by cellular metabolism in controlling our photoreceptors ability to dark adapt, and in some situations how metabolism places limitations on the rate of recovery of sensitivity. Through simultaneous suction recordings and patch dialysis on salamander rods, I provide physiological evidence that suggests the persistence of all-trans retinal delays dark adaptation. I show that NADPH is required for the reduction and clearance of all-trans retinal, a key first step in quenching the phototransduction cascade.; The inability to dark adapt has been implicated in blinding diseases including dry AMD, and Stargardt disease, highlighting the therapeutic importance of understanding the physiological mechanisms governing dark adaptation. Together these studies have contributed to our understanding of bleaching adaptation and may lead to the development of therapeutic strategies to treat deficiencies in the visual… Advisors/Committee Members: Sampath, Alapakkam P.

▼ Objective: Static long-term decision-making processes for road assets adaptation on the dynamic effects of climate change seem to be ineffective because the proposed proactive measures might not address the actual climate at the fixed date the decision-maker imposes them to be implemented but by giving a time range of expected implementation in the future by following the actual evolvement of climate seems to be much more beneficial. This research recognizes that a methodology for dynamic planning is needed and a study of the climate variables that are correlated with and affect the road tunnel systems in the Netherlands is carried out. Research's main goal is to develop a structured methodology for long-term road tunnel adaptation on the effects of climate change in a dynamic rather than a static way, proposing multiple adaptation actions of increasing robustness and time range of expected implementation in the future, avoiding fixed date ones. Method: The Dynamic Adaptive Policy Pathways (DAPP) approach was chosen because it is the model that realizes dynamic long-term decision-making by proposing strategic pathways of actions. This research investigated the 6 out of 10 DAPP steps and executed them through known methods and tools in three phases. Firstly, the identification and analysis of the climate variables that were correlated to road tunnels are conducted. Phase I started with the Function Breakdown Structure analysis of a road tunnel system defining functional requirements, the Hamburger model for functional decomposition, and Fault Tree Analysis for function failure modes identification was conducting. Additionally, quantification of the failures in unavailability rate terms and qualitative analysis of the corresponding impact on six organization values were executed. Then, in Phase II, the definition of adaptation measures for road tunnel unavailability prevention and consequences mitigation was carrying out and visualized through BowTie analysis diagrams. Finally, in Phase III, the modeling of the adaptation strategy for cause prevention and impact mitigation was presented in DAPP maps. Result: The ongoing climate change in the Netherlands showed that changes in several climate variables affect some primary road tunnel infrastructure functions in an analysis until 2100. By implementing DAPP, I was able to define and conclude to simpler and more compact decision-making plans dealing with deep uncertainty over longer timeframes. These adaptation plans for cause prevention and impact mitigation can be applied regardless the actual climate conditions. In the DAPP methodology, the actual climate conditions indicate the moment the proposed adaptation actions are taken and consequently time flexibility is achieved. The research results seem more effective than the ones of the currently applied decision-making practices. The added value of the DAPP approach lies in its flexible character compared to the to date practices, which mainly define robust adaptation actions that deal with any extreme future and propose… Advisors/Committee Members: van Wee, G.P.

The undertaken thesis work conducts a research study based on the study area — Laakhaven, The Hague, to develop an implementation example of the Adaptation Pathway approach, in order to support long-term adaptive stormwater management planning on urban adaptation measures to mitigate pluvial flooding under the climatic and socio-economic uncertainties. The methodology is presented in the stepwise procedure to develop adaptation pathways. The core part of this method is expressed as the risk-based approach, which considers the flood risk from the aspects of the probability and the consequence. Different climate and socio-economic scenarios are developed to represent the uncertain environment for policymaking resulting from long-term changes. An urban water balance model is applied to produce the novel empirical performance indicator for the effectiveness of adaptation measures as the critical input to this assessment. Sell-by dates of adaptation actions are computed based on the assumption that, once a policy action reaches the perspective-based socially acceptable risk, it is said to encounter an adaptation tipping point thus requiring additional interventions. With the computed sell-by dates, the adaptation pathways maps are assembled under certain rules that exclude illogical sequences. Robust adaptation pathways that can succeed over various future scenarios are outlined from the pool of pathways. The developed adaptation pathways map provides the policymakers with a range of possible options. The results indicate the significance of investing in the modular rainwater harvesting devices on private space since it is effective and flexible action that supports the development of dynamic robust strategies for the long-term adaptive stormwater management planning. The implementation methodology of this case study is theoretically viable and its potential to make a more comprehensive study has been proven. Therefore, it is recommended to take the undertaken study as a starting point and further improve it to find the ultimate answer through sub-selecting preferred pathways.

Sociology

This study examines the childhood emigration, cultural and linguistic transitions and adaptation pathways of Eastern European immigrant students on an urban university campus. Although Eastern Europeans and immigrant children represent a substantial segment of the immigrant population in the U.S. they are understudied groups. After the collapse of the Soviet Union large numbers of migrants emigrated from the former Soviet Republics, but less is known about their experiences compared to other immigrant groups. Immigrant children have historically come to the U.S. since its inception but compared to the adult experience their status has been rendered ambiguous and their experiences marginalized to such an extent that they have largely been invisible in the literature. Commonly children are referred to as "children of immigrants" rather than assigned their own category of "immigrant children." While it is generally acknowledged that primary socialization of children influence their secondary socialization, the influences of child migrants' inculcation in the first culture, migration, acculturation and integration experiences with associated emotions have not been sufficiently considered. There is a general assumption in much of the immigrant scholarships that the cultural influences of the first country on child migrants are essentially negated by the acculturation process in the U.S., and this conjecture leads scholars to construct various generational categories that collapse immigrant children with the second generation native-born youth in their analysis thereby potentially skewing or obscuring critical outcome information. Since immigrant children's voices have largely been missing in the research process, through 34 in-depth interviews with Eastern European immigrant college students, we examined the extent to which the child migrants experienced the migration dislocation and incorporation as well as the possible lasting consequences in their adaptation pathways, self-identifications, social interaction, and standpoints on societal issues associated with emotional acculturation. Collectively, the Russian and Ukrainian immigrant students' narratives about their college experience indicated that they were meeting with success academically, were focused on individual goals, expressed appreciation for diversity, and were integrated into the social and professional organization on the university campus. However, most of the participants who emigrated during childhood reported that they had difficult or traumatic migration transitions in their first U.S. schools and neighborhoods, and often they recounted emotionally the memories of these profound events associated with their acculturation during the interviews. As a group, the Eastern European students expressed that both positive and negative immigration and transitional experiences, perspectives gained from the shared struggle with their parents, openness to diversity, achievement orientation, and work ethic are some of the differentiating…

▼ Visual adaptation regulates contrast sensitivity during dynamically changing light conditions (Crawford, 1947; Hecht, Haig & Chase, 1937). These adaptation dynamics are unknown under dim (mesopic) light levels when the rod (R) and long (L), medium (M) and short (S) wavelength cone photoreceptor classes contribute to vision via interactions in shared non-opponent Magnocellular (MC), chromatically opponent Parvocellular (PC) and Koniocellular (KC) visual pathways (Dacey, 2000). This study investigated the time-course of adaptation and post-receptoral pathways mediating receptor specific rod and cone interactions under mesopic illumination. A four-primary photostimulator (Pokorny, Smithson & Quinlan, 2004) was used to independently control the activity of the four photoreceptor classes and their post-receptoral visual athways in human observers. In the first experiment, the contrast sensitivity and time-course of visual adaptation under mesopic illumination were measured for receptoral (L, S, R) and post-receptoral (LMS, LMSR, L-M) stimuli. An incremental (Rapid-ON) sawtooth conditioning pulse biased detection to ON-cells within the visual pathways and sensitivity was assayed relative to pulse onset using a briefly presented incremental probe that did not alter adaptation. Cone.Cone interactions with luminance stimuli (L cone, LMS, LMSR) reduced sensitivity by 15% and the time course of recovery was 25± 5ms-1 (μ ± SEM). PC mediated (+L-M) chromatic stimuli sensitivity loss was less (8%) than for luminance and recovery was slower (μ = 2.95 ± 0.05 ms-1), with KC mediated (S cone) chromatic stimuli showing a high sensitivity loss (38%) and the slowest recovery time (1.6 ± 0.2 ms-1). Rod-Rod interactions increased sensitivity by 20% and the time course of recovery was 0.7 ± 0.2 ms-1 (μ ± SD). Compared to these interaction types, Rod-Cone interactions reduced sensitivity to a lesser degree (5%) and showed the fastest recovery (μ = 43 ± 7 ms-1). In the second experiment, rod contribution to the magnocellular, parvocellular and koniocellular post-receptoral pathways under mesopic illumination was determined as a function of incremental stimulus duration and waveform (rectangular; sawtooth) using a rod colour match procedure (Cao, Pokorny & Smith, 2005; Cao, Pokorny, Smith & Zele, 2008a). For a 30% rod increment, a cone match required a decrease in [L/(L+M)] and an increase in [L+M] and [S/(L+M)], giving a greenish-blue and brighter appearance for probe durations of 75 ms or longer. Probe durations less than 75 ms showed an increase in [L+M] and no change in chromaticity [L/(L+M) or S/(L+M)], uggesting mediation by the MC pathway only for short duration rod stimuli. s We advance previous studies by determining the time-course and nature of photoreceptor specific retinal interactions in the three post-receptoral pathways under mesopic illumination. In the first experiment, the time-course of adaptation for ON cell processing was determined, revealing opponent cell facilitation in chromatic PC and KC pathways. The…

To help combat climate change, promote sustainable development and match the goals set in the Paris Agreement, the Province of Zuid-Holland wants to transition to a circular economy. To make this transition successful, the Province ought to adopt an integrative approach, addressing other elements such as socio-spatial inequality, pressure for urban expansion and economic challenges that have to be integrated in the transition strategy. The following report describes these elements and the challenges they bring and proposes a vision and a development strategy based on the sector where these elements connect: the agri-food sector. Zuid-Holland’s agri-food sector is an important link in the global economy, and many of its infrastructures are oriented towards export through the Port of Rotterdam. However, there is an unequal distribution of profit and power related to the agro-food sector, which results in socio-spatial inequality. Through quantitative and qualitative analysis of both the physical and social environment, we conclude that the spatial pressures and existing challenges are most present in the edges of the province’s biggest cities. Hence, the Living Edges project envisions how the linear global agro-food sector can be transformed into a circular regional agri-food sector in a social just way . By designing a strategy in which this transition is detailed in space, the project aims to decrease socio-spatial inequality through bypassing the linear food system with interventions in the edges between the urban and rural areas. It does so by increasing diversity, social cohesion and equitable access to healthy, affordable food. As a result of efficient local circular production, the delta province will have more space for regenerative, nature-based and robust water defense systems. The vision and strategy designed by the Living Edges project provides tools for emancipating the province from the linear global economy towards a local, equitable and circular economy. Through networked governance with a multi-scalar focus, the Province of Zuid-Holland can be an example to other similar regions in Northwestern Europe and promote the idea of a just region. Dynamic Adaptation Policy Pathways are advised for the strategy in order to incorporate deep uncertainty in the long-term, large scale project. By using stakeholder engagement strategies, including stakeholders in different ways corresponding to the variety of scales and phases.

▼ Sea levels are rising globally and the melting Antarctic ice sheet is attributed to be the primary contributor. Due to the deep uncertainty of the causal representative carbon pathways, the plausible range of sea levels rise varies between 0,26 - 2,43 m for 2100 and 0,50 - 15,52 m for 2300. To address deep uncertainty, decision making methods arise which struggle with including measures preparing the shift from incremental to transitional strategies required for the case of extreme sea level rise scenarios. This research addresses flood risk management in the Netherlands, a country which will face ecological, economical, technological and political challenges as sea levels climb. In anticipation to extreme sea level rise and its challenges, the Dutch process of coastline shortening and solidating can be carried through. Another viable option is a more gradual zone between land and water. To review both options, the distribution of systems sensitive to flooding is mapped. The overlay of systems facilitates the establishment of a framework which distinguishes elements based on their pace of transition and offers a multilayered image differentiating regions with an emphasis on either population or nature. This dichotomy structures the proposal for the transitional territorial outline by harmoniously applying a superimposed coastline and a dynamic coastline respectively. Tipping points of flood defence measures assess the physical feasibility of the transition which is mainly constrained by societal limitations. This results in incremental improvements, further increasing transfer costs, path dependency and the difficulty to shift to transitional strategies. Throughout history, only catastrophic floods were leading to transitional flood measures, but transition management is referred to as enabling development of a long-term sustainability perspective, linked to desired societal transitions, to guide accelerated social innovation in the short term. The theory’s transition arena with frontrunners and a transition image is capable of opposing the resistance-giving, established standard and is instrumental for communication, discussion and evolvement of the transition of flood risk management.

Dans le contexte fromager, les champignons filamenteux du genre Mucor ont un rôle ambivalent. En fonction du fromage considéré, ils peuvent être assimilés à des microorganismes d’altération responsables de défauts de fabrication ou au contraire contribuer au développement des qualités organoleptiques des produits. Dans le cadre de ce travail, nous avons souhaité confirmer et objectiver la dichotomie classiquement faite en industrie fromagère entre espèces technologiques et espèces contaminantes, et investiguer les mécanismes d’adaptation potentiels mis en oeuvre chez les espèces technologiques. La morphologie et la croissance radiale de 7 souches représentatives d’espèces technologiques, contaminantes et non-fromagères (endophyte) de Mucor ont été étudiées sur différents milieux (synthétique, mimant le fromage et fromager) en fonction de facteurs clés du processus de production des fromages (température, aw, pH). Les valeurs cardinales de croissance ont été déterminées sur milieu synthétique, un modèle prédictif a été proposé et validé sur matrices fromagères pour le facteur température et la meilleure faculté de croissance des souches technologiques sur milieux fromagers par rapport au milieu synthétique a été démontrée. Une approche de protéomique comparée a permis de décrire les voies métaboliques mises en jeu par 4 de ces souches dans les deux types d’environnement, fromager et non-fromager, et 35 protéines spécifiquement surexprimées par la souche technologique M. lanceolatus UBOCC-A-109153 sur milieu mimant le fromage ont été identifiées. Les avantages compétitifs associés à ces potentiels marqueurs d’adaptation vont faire l’objet d’investigations complémentaires.

In the cheese industry context, Mucor species exhibit an ambivalent behavior, as some species are essential technological organisms contributing to the required organoleptic characteristics of some cheeses while some others can be spoiling agents. The present study aimed at better understanding this ambivalence and investigating the putative adaptation mechanisms to cheese existing in Mucor technological species. Morphology and radial growth of 7 representative Mucor species: technological, contaminant and non-cheese related (plant endophyte) species were monitored on different media (synthetic, cheese-mimicking media and cheese) in function of key parameters for cheese manufacture (temperature, aw, pH). Cardinal values were determined on synthetic medium and as a result a predictive model was proposed and validated on cheese matrices for the temperature parameter. Interestingly, cheese technological species exhibited higher optimal growth rates on cheese related matrices than on synthetic media, while the opposite was observed for non-technological species. A comparative proteomic approach allowed unraveling the main metabolic pathways playing a role in growth of 4 of the 7 studied strains on both synthetic medium and cheese-mimicking medium. This proteomic study also highlighted the occurrence of 35 proteins specifically expressed by the…

▼ Understanding climate change and variability at urban scale is essential for water resource management, land use planning, and development of adaption plans. However, there are serious challenges to meet these goals due to unavailability of observed and / or simulated high resolution spatial and temporal climate data. Recent efforts made possible the availability of high resolution climate data from non-hydrostatic regional climate model (RCM) and statistically downscaled General Circulation Models (GCMs). This study investigates trends in climate and urbanization and their impact on surface water supply for the city of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. The methodology presented in this study focused on the observed and projected NIMRHadGEM2- AO model and Special Report on Emissions Scenarios (SRES) of B2 and A2 of HadCM3 model are also employed for rainfall, maximum temperature and minimum temperature data using for climate analysis. Water Evaluation and Planning (WEAP) modeling system was used for determination of climate and urbanization impacts on water. Land-Sat images were analyzed using Normalized Differencing Vegetation Index (NDVI). Statistical downscaling model (SDSM) was employed to investigate the major changes and intensity of the urban heat island (UHI). The result indicates monthly rainfall anomalies with respect to the baseline mean showing wet anomaly in summer (kiremt) during 2030s and 2050s, and a dry anomaly in the 2080s under A2 and B2 scenarios with exception of a wet anomaly in September over the city. The maximum temperature anomalies under Representative Concentration Pathways (RCPs) also show warming during near, mid and end terms. The mean monthly minimum temperature anomalies under A2 and B2 scenarios are warm but the anomalies are much lower than RCPs. The climate under the RCP 8.5 and high population growth (3.3 %) scenario will lead to the unmet demand of 462.77 million m3 by 2039. Future projection of urban heat island under emission pathway of A2 and B2 scenario shows that, the nocturnal UHI will be intense in winter or dry season episodes in the city. Under A2 scenario the highest urban warming will occur during October to December (2.5 ºC to 3.2 ºC). Under RCP 8.5 scenario the highest urban warming will occur during October to December (0.5 ºC to 1.0 °C) in the 2050s and 2080s. Future management and adaptation strategies are to expand water supply to meet future demand and to implement demand side water management systems of the city and UHI Advisors/Committee Members: Stoffberg, G.

▼ New introductions of Phytophthora species pose a threat to forest ecosystems globally. This thesis aims to increase our understanding of the invasion process of forest Phytophthora species, and of the long term consequences of these invasions on host populations. Phytophthora species were obtained from nurseries, rivers, and forests, by isolation and by a newly developed metabarcoding approach to investigate the factors involved in Phytophthora introduction, establishment and spread. In vitro inoculations were performed on progenies of alder trees from invaded and uninvaded sites to study whether alder populations have the potential to adapt to species of the P. alni complex. Five Phytophthora species were widespread in Sweden, namely P. plurivora, P. cambivora, P. cactorum, P. x alni, and P. uniformis and they were considered invasive. The occurrence of three of these invasive Phytophthora species and the alpha diversity of Phytophthora communities were higher in urban settlements than in natural forests, pointing at human activities as pathways during invasion. Both the distribution of single Phytophthora species, and the diversity of Phytophthora communities were associated with climatic factors. The cold sensitive P. x alni was restricted to the southern areas of Sweden with milder winters, whereas the more cold tolerant P. uniformis was found across the studied region. The diversity of communities containing species that develop most of their life cycle in soil was associated with total annual precipitation, whereas the diversity of communities containing species mostly developing their life cycle in water was associated with mean annual temperature. The functional diversity of communities revealed a convergence of traits in areas with low temperature and precipitation, where species able to create survival structures and displaying low cardinal temperatures dominated the communities. Adverse climatic conditions seemed to act as an environmental filtering on 20% of the terrestrial Phytophthora communities, although this effect was only of 3% for aquatic communities. In vitro inoculations on progenies of alders invaded by P. uniformis revealed a lower susceptibility to the pathogen than uninvaded populations, pointing to an effect of natural selection. By contrast, no signs of natural selection were observed in P. x alni invaded populations. The broad sense heritability of resistance against P. uniformis was higher than against P. x alni, suggesting that low genetic variation in resistance might slow natural selection, and therefore adaptation.

▼ The Myxococcus xanthus Dif and Frz chemosensory pathways play important roles in the regulation of gliding motility. The Dif system regulates the production of exopolysaccheride (EPS), which is essential for social motility and fruiting body formation. The Frz pathway controls reversal frequency, which is fundamental for directed movement by this surface-gliding bacterium. In addition, both pathways are involved in the chemotactic response towards several phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) species such that the Dif pathway is required for excitation while the Frz pathway is essential for adaptation. In this study we addressed three crucial questions regarding the signal processing of these two chemosensory pathways by focusing on DifA and FrzCD, the MCP homologs from their respective pathways. First, the receptor protein in the Dif pathway, DifA, lacks a perisplasmic domain, the typical signal-sensing structure. To examine whether DifA shares similar transmembrane signaling mechanism with typical transmembrane sensor proteins (MCPs and sensor kinases), we constructed a chimeric protein that is composed of the N-terminus of NarX (nitrate sensor kinase) and the C-terminus of DifA. This NarX-DifA chimera restores the DifA functionality (EPS production, agglutination, S-motility and development) to a "difA mutant in a nitrate-dependent manner, suggesting DifA shares a similar transmembrane signaling mechanism with typical MCPs and sensor kinases despite its unorthodox structure. Second, the M. xanthus chemotaxis is still controversial. It has been argued that the taxis-like response in this slowly gliding bacterium could result from physiological effects of certain chemicals. To study motility regulation by the Frz pathway, we constructed two chimeras between the N-terminus of NarX and C-terminus of FrzCD, which is the receptor protein of the Frz pathway. The two chimeras, NazDF and NazDR, are identical except that NazDR contains a G51R mutation in the otherwise wild-type NarX sensory module. This G51R mutation was shown to reverse the signaling output of a NarX-Tar chimera to nitrate. We discovered that nitrate specifically decreased the reversal frequency of NazDF-expressing cells and increased that of NazDR-expressing cells. These results show that directional motility in M. xanthus can be regulated independently of cellular metabolism and physiology. Surprisingly, the NazDR strain failed to adapt to nitrate in temporal assays, as did the wild type to known repellents. Therefore, the lack of temporal adaptation to negative stimuli is an intrinsic property in M. xanthus motility regulation. Third, the Dif and Frz pathways are both involved in the chemotactic response towards certain PE molecules such that the Dif pathway is required for excitation and while the Frz system is essential for adaptation. In addition, 12:0 PE, known to be sensed by DifA, results in increased FrzCD methylation. These findings suggested that in the regulation of PE response, two pathways communicate with each other to mediate adaptation.

▼ Desde el “Origen de las Especies” de Darwin a la reciente revoluci´on gen´omica, muchos bi´ologos han centrado su investigaci´on en la comprensi ´on de c´omo la selecci´on natural ha dado forma a la variabilidad entre y dentro de las especies. Aunque, los avances te´oricos y emp´ıricos han sido notables, la mayor´ıa de los mecanismos biol´ogicos que subyacen a las bases moleculares de la adaptaci´on biol´ogica a´un no est´an suficientemente esclarecidos. La visi´on seleccionista de adaptaci´on marc´o el sesgo de los estudios evolutivos hacia el an´alisis de genes individuales. La mayor´ıa de estudios publicados destinados a la detecci´on de la selecci´on positiva utilizando datos de polimorfismo o de divergencia se han realizado utilizando un gen candidato o un enfoque de exploraci´on gen´omica, como se describe en los dos primeros art´ıculos presentados en la presente tesis. Sin embargo, la evoluci´on de genes est´a muy condicionada por el contexto biol´ogico en el que cada gen realiza su funci´on intr´ınseca, siendo el fenotipo, y no el genotipo, su materia primaria. Por lo tanto, a fin de comprender la evoluci´on de genes, y en particular cuando se considera la evoluci´on adaptativa, es crucial reducir la brecha entre el genotipo y el fenotipo. Los genes y las prote´ınas no act´uan de manera aislada, sino que interact´uan entre s´ı con el fin de realizar una funci´on biol´ogica determinada. Por lo tanto, un marco prometedor al estudiar la selecci´on natural a nivel molecular seria considerar las redes de genes, como se describe en los dos ´ultimos art´ıculos de la presente tesis. Los an´alisis de los datos de polimorfismo gen´etico, tanto de los genes que componen la v´ıa de la insulina, c´omo de los todos los genes descritos en los mapas f´ısicos de interacci´on prote´ına-prote´ına tienen resultados muy sorprendentes: los genes que act´uan en el n´ucleo de ambas redes, teniendo as´ı m´as efecto sobre un determinado fenotipo o m´as efectos ple´otropicos dentro del organismo, tienen m´as probabilidades de ser el blanco de la selecci´on positiva reciente.
