Trans-stage feeding strategies 7.2

Juvenile mayflies (Emphemeroptera) cover all adult needs for food; Adult’s digestive system is filled with air

Adult Anoplius viaticus collects all food (here Trochosa terricola) for the juvenile stage of the next generation; the adult feeds on nectar

Food deposits 7.2.1

Melanerpes formicivorus (acorn woodpecker)stores acorns & beech-mast in crevices (upto 60000)from hundreds of km around its residence

Farming: external storage 7.2.1a

Ambrosia beetles garden fungi under tree bark, and some have special structures in their head,

mycangia, to transport the fungus

The gardener-nurse caste of leafcutter ants garden fungi under ground, transplanting them onto fresh substrate and weeding out wrong species of fungus

The social amoeba Dictyostelium carries

bacteria in their multi-cellularslug-stage and inoculate fresh stubstrate with them

Fast/slow substrate uptake 7.2.2

DEB-consistent variant of Morel 1987• uptake depends on substrate concentration and reserve density• reserve mobilization independent of uptake

Not yet tested against experimental data

Short vs long-term nutrient uptake 7.2.2a

Morel 1987 on nutrient uptake in algae

Variant that is consistent with DEB/Droop

Satiation-driven feeding 7.2.3

Suppose that satiation s is a system variable which• increases instantaneously with an amount sX

upon feeding on a food particle • decays exponentially at rate kS during starvationFeeding occurs when a food particle arrives, while satiation s(t) < 1The resulting feeding rate is numerically well described by

Doucet, 2003 The H-response:A satiation-driven functional response (not published)

Extendable to more food types, preferences are set by type-specific satiation thresholds

Functional surface area 7.2.5

Heliozoans and foraminiferans have threat-like extensions of protoplasm on which they take up food particles

functional surface area depends on feeding rate relative to ratio of moving rate and thickness of stagnant water mantle

Moving gut 7.3

From: Mader, S. S. 1993 Biology, WCBSleigh, M. 1989 Protozoa, E. Arnold, London

Feeding vacuoles of ciliates travel from the cell mouth to the cell anus, where the feaces is excreted. These vacuoles can be considered as a moving gut.

Transformations:1 Oxaloacetate + Acetyl CoA + H2O = Citrate + HSCoA2 Citrate = cis-Aconitrate + H2O3 cis-Aconitrate + H2O = Isocitrate4 Isocitrate + NAD+ = α-Ketoglutarate + CO2 + NADH + H+

5 α-Ketoglutarate + NAD+ + HSCoA = Succinyl CoA + CO2 + NADH + H+

6 Succinyl CoA + GDP 3- + Pi 2- + H+ = Succinate + GTP 4- + HSCoA

7 Succinate + FAD = Fumarate + FADH2

8 Fumarate + H2O = Malate9 Malate + NAD+ = Oxaloacetate + NADH + H+

TriCarboxylic Acid cycleEnzymes pass metabolites directly to other enzymesEnzymes catalizing transformations 5 and 7 are linked to the inner membrane (and FAD/FADH2)All enzymes are linked into a metabolonNet transformation: Acetyl CoA + 3 NAD+ + FAD + GDP 3- + Pi

Dilemma of pathway enzymes 7.6b

Many metabolites have a dual function: • building block for synthesis of functional units• substrate to generation of energy (ATP) or reducing power (NADH, NADPH)

Cell’s need for building blocks depends on variable growth rate

Problem:How is cell’s need “known” by enzyme molecules of pathway?

Example of competing needs: growth versus maintenanceKooijman & Segel 2005 How growth affects the fate of cellular substrates. Bull Math Biol 67: 57-77

Matching pathway whole cell 7.6g

No exact match possible between production of products and intermediary metabolites by pathway and requirements by the cell

But very close approximation is possible by tuning abundance parameters and/or binding and handshaking parameters

Good approximation requires all four tuning parameters per node growth-dependent reserve abundance plays a key role in tuning
