Liu2019 - Clostridium ljungdahlii metabolism model

ABSTRACT: The unique capability of acetogens to ferment a broad range of substrates renders them ideal candidates for the biotechnological production of commodity chemicals. In particular the ability to grow with H2:CO2 or syngas (a mixture of H2/CO/CO2) makes these microorganisms ideal chassis for sustainable bioproduction. However, advanced design strategies for acetogens are currently hampered by incomplete knowledge about their physiology and our inability to accurately predict phenotypes. Here we describe the reconstruction of a novel genome-scale model of metabolism and macromolecular synthesis (ME-model) to gain new insights into the biology of the model acetogen Clostridium ljungdahlii. The model represents the first ME-model of a Gram-positive bacterium and captures all major central metabolic, amino acid, nucleotide, lipid, major cofactors, and vitamin synthesis pathways as well as pathways to synthesis RNA and protein molecules necessary to catalyze these reactions, thus significantly broadens the scope and predictability. Use of the model revealed how protein allocation and media composition influence metabolic pathways and energy conservation in acetogens and accurately predicted secretion of multiple fermentation products. Predicting overflow metabolism is of particular interest since it enables new design strategies, e.g. the formation of glycerol, a novel product for C. ljungdahlii, thus broadening the metabolic capability for this model microbe. Furthermore, prediction and experimental validation of changing secretion rates based on different metal availability opens the window into fermentation optimization and provides new knowledge about the proteome utilization and carbon flux in acetogens.

Improvement of Lactobacillus plantarum Aerobic Growth by Comprehensive Transcriptome Analysis

Project description:An aerobic Lactobacillus plantarum culture displayed growth stagnation during early growth. Transcriptome analysis revealed that regain of growth after stagnation correlated with activation of CO2-producing pathways suggesting that limiting CO2-concentration induced stagnation. Analogously providing increased CO2 gas partial pressure during aerobic fermentation prevented the temporal growth stagnation. Keywords: cell type comparison

Comparison of vineyard, enological and laboratory yeast transcriptomes at different steps of the fermentation curve

Project description:Here we report the massively parallel cDNA sequencing (RNA-seq) analysis performed using high throughput sequencing of four vineyard yeast strains collected from the vineyards of the M-bM-^@M-^\Prosecco di Conegliano-ValdobbiadeneM-bM-^@M-^] (P283 and P301 strains) and Piave AO (Appellation of origin) (R008 and R103 strains) regions in North East of Italy. Results were compared with RNA-seq performed on a commercial yeast strain (EC1118) and a laboratory strain (S288c). Yeast cells were collected at two different steps of the fermentation curve: at the beginning of the process, when the CO2 produced by the cells was 6 g/l (middle exponential growth phase), and in the middle of fermentation, at 45 g/l (early stationary phase). Three biological replicates of the fermentations were performed for each strain and samples for RNA-seq were gathered at the beginning of the process. The aim of this experiment was the comparison of the transcriptomes of the six yeast strains to identify the genes characterizing wild type yeast isolates, "commercial" and laboratory strains. Twelve samples were analyzed: S288c strain at middle exponential growth phase (6 g/l CO2 produced), S288c strain in the middle of fermentation (45 g/l CO2 produced), EC1118 strain at middle exponential growth phase (6 g/l CO2 produced), EC1118 strain in the middle of fermentation (45 g/l CO2 produced), P283 strain at middle exponential growth phase (6 g/l CO2 produced), P283 strain in the middle of fermentation (45 g/l CO2 produced), R008 strain at middle exponential growth phase (6 g/l CO2 produced), R008 strain in the middle of fermentation (45 g/l CO2 produced), R103 strain at middle exponential growth phase (6 g/l CO2 produced), R103 strain in the middle of fermentation (45 g/l CO2 produced), P301 strain at middle exponential growth phase (6 g/l CO2 produced), P301 strain in the middle of fermentation (45 g/l CO2 produced).

Comparative anterior pituitary miRNA and mRNA expression profiles of Bama minipigs and Landrace pigs reveal potential molecular network involved in animal postnatal growth [miRNA array]

Project description:The anterior pituitary is the most important endocrine organ modulating animal postnatal growth, mainly by controlling growth hormone (GH) gene transcription, synthesis, and secretion. As an ideal model for animal postnatal growth studies, the Bama minipig is characterized as having a lower growth performance and fewer individual differences compared with larger pig breeds. In this study, anterior pituitaries from Bama minipig and Landrace pig were used for miRNA and mRNA expression profile analysis using miRNA microarrays and mRNA-seq. Consequently, a total of 222 miRNAs and 12,909 transcripts were detected, and both miRNAs and mRNAs in the two breeds showed high correlation (r > 0.97). Additionally, 41 differentially expressed miRNAs and 2,254 transcripts were identified. Pathways analysis indicated that 32 pathways significantly differed in the two breeds. Importantly, two GH-regulation-signalling pathways, cAMP and inositol 1, 4, 5-triphosphate (IP3), and multiple GH-secretion-related transcripts were significantly down-regulated in Bama minipigs. Moreover, target prediction by two algorithms (TargetScan and RNAhybrid) indicated that most miRNA–mRNA target pairs (63.68–71.33%) presented a negatively correlated expression pattern. A possible network among miRNAs, mRNAs, and GH-regulation pathways was also proposed. These data will be helpful in understanding the possible molecular mechanisms involved in animal postnatal growth. 2 pooled samples were analyzed. A pool of 3 pig anterior pituitary was used for Bama minpigs and Landrace pigs,respectively.

Deletion of genes linked to the C1-fixing gene cluster affects growth, by-products, and proteome of Clostridium autoethanogenum

Project description:Gas fermentation has emerged as a sustainable route to produce fuels and chemicals by recycling inexpensive one-carbon (C1) feedstocks from gaseous and solid waste using gas-fermenting microbes. Currently, acetogens that utilise the Wood-Ljungdahl pathway to convert carbon oxides (CO and CO2) into valuable products are the most advanced biocatalysts for gas fermentation. However, our understanding of the functionalities of the genes involved in the C1-fixing gene cluster and its closely-linked genes is incomplete. Here, we investigate the role of two genes with unclear functions – hypothetical protein (hp; LABRINI_07945) and CooT nickel binding protein (nbp; LABRINI_07950) – directly adjacent and expressed at similar levels to the C1-fixing gene cluster in the gas-fermenting model-acetogen Clostridium autoethanogenum. Targeted deletion of either the hp or nbp gene using CRISPR/nCas9, and phenotypic characterisation in heterotrophic and autotrophic batch and autotrophic bioreactor continuous cultures revealed significant growth defects and altered by-product profiles for both ∆hp and ∆nbp strains. Variable effects of gene deletion on autotrophic batch growth on rich or minimal media suggest that both genes affect the utilisation of complex nutrients. Autotrophic chemostat cultures showed lower acetate and ethanol production rates and higher carbon flux to CO2 and biomass for both deletion strains. Additionally, proteome analysis revealed that disruption of either gene affects the expression of proteins of the C1-fixing gene cluster and ethanol synthesis pathways. Our work contributes to a better understanding of genotype-phenotype relationships in acetogens and offers engineering targets to improve carbon fixation efficiency in gas fermentation.

A semi-synthesis platform for efficient production and exploration of didemnin-based drugs

Project description:In this study, we report the screening of the yield of didemnin B from 18 Tistrella strains we collected from different regions worldwide. Among them, one T. mobilis strain was further investigated due to its capability to produce the highest yield of didemnin B in a fermentation medium. To improve the productivity of the chosen strain, we performed 11 rounds of random mutagenesis/screening and optimised culture conditions. The resultant mutated strain produced over 500 mg/L of didemnin B in a 50-L fermentation tank. We further tested the strain in an industrial-scale fermentation tank (4,000-L), resulting in the production of didemnin B approximately 480 mg/L. Furthermore, we developed two simple and efficient chemical strategies for converting didemnin B to plitidepsin. One of the strategies involves a one-step synthetic route with over 90% overall yield. The modifications in the hydroxyl group of iso-statine (iso-Sta–OH) in didemnin B can greatly impact on its bioactivity. Therefore, we further synthesised 13 new didemnin B derivatives with modifications in iso-Sta–OH for studying the structure–activity relationships. In addition, 3 photo-affinity-based didemnin probes, bearing diazirine and alkyne groups, were prepared and employed in proteomic profiling studies, which allowed the deduction of binding proteins in the THP-1 cell line. Overall, our platform not only provides a practical and sustainable solution for producing the drug molecule plitidepsin, but also offers the opportunities to utilise the functions of didemnin derivatives. We envision that our platform can expedite the development of didemnin-based drugs.

Feist2014 - Geobacter metallireducens GS-15 metabolism

Project description:Geobacter species are of great interest for environmental and biotechnology applications as they can carry out direct electron transfer to insoluble metals or other microorganisms and have the ability to assimilate inorganic carbon. Here, we report on the capability and key enabling metabolic machinery of Geobacter metallireducens GS-15 to carry out CO2 fixation and direct electron transfer to iron. An updated metabolic reconstruction was generated, growth screens on targeted conditions of interest were performed, and constraint-based analysis was utilized to characterize and evaluate critical pathways and reactions in G. metallireducens. The novel capability of G. metallireducens to grow autotrophically with formate and Fe(III) was predicted and subsequently validated in vivo. Additionally, the energetic cost of transferring electrons to an external electron acceptor was determined through analysis of growth experiments carried out using three different electron acceptors (Fe(III), nitrate, and fumarate) by systematically isolating and examining different parts of the electron transport chain. The updated reconstruction will serve as a knowledgebase for understanding and engineering Geobacter and similar species.
