Project description:We analyzed the transcriptional response of the actinomycete Rhodococcus aetherivorans I24 to biphenyl and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). This species has not been extensively exposed to PCBs, as it was first isolated from a toluene contaminated aquifer, rather than a site contaminated with polychlorinated hydrocarbons. Using a microarray targeting 3524 genes, we assessed gene expression in minimal medium supplemented with various substrates (e.g. PCBs) and in both PCB-contaminated and non-contaminated sediment slurries. Relative to the reference condition (minimal medium supplemented with glucose), 408 genes were up-regulated in the various treatments. In medium and in sediment, PCBs elicited the up-regulation of a common set of 100 genes, including chaperones (groEL), a superoxide dismutase (sodA), alkyl hydroperoxide reductase protein C (ahpC), and a catalase/peroxidase (katG). Analysis of the R. aetherivorans I24 genome sequence identified orthologs of many of the genes in the canonical biphenyl pathway, but very few of these genes were up-regulated in response to PCBs or biphenyl. This study is one of the first which utilizes microarrays to assess the transcriptional response of a soil bacterium to a pollutant under conditions which more closely resemble the natural environment. Our results indicate that the transcriptional response of R. aetherivorans I24 to PCBs, in both medium and sediment, is primarily directed towards reducing oxidative stress, rather than catabolism. In addition, the identification of numerous genes expressed in contaminated soil specifically may have implications for the development of biosensors. Finally, comparative genomic and transcriptomic analyses suggest that the mere presence of orthologs of the required enzymes may not be sufficient to confer a vigorous biphenyl/PCB metabolism. RNA was isolated from cells incubated in the following: sediment from a PCB-contaminated industrial site, uncontaminated sediment from a comparable site, and defined media supplemented with glucose (3 g/L), glucose and biphenyl (3 g/L, 4.5 μM), or glucose and PCBs (3 g/L, 5 mg/L Aroclor 1254). In all cases, there were 3 biological replicates and 2 technical replicates (repeat hybridizations). A total of 3524 genes are represented on the arrays; of these, 41 and 176 are found on the plasmids pRA2 and pRA3, respectively. On average, there are 3 distinct 24nt probes per gene.

Project description:We have developed a 60-mer oligonucleotide multibacterial microarray for detection and expression profiling of biodegradative genes and bacterial diversity (16S rRNA gene) in different habitats contaminated with varieties of hazardous chemicals. The genes selected were involved in biodegradation and biotransformation of various groups of compounds viz. nitroaromatic compounds (148 genes), chloroaromatic compounds (75 genes), monoaromatic compounds (373 genes), polyaromatic hydrocarbons (174 genes), pesticides/ herbicides (34 genes), alkanes/aliphatics (185 genes) and heavy metals (68 genes), which covered a total number of 133 chemicals. The efficiency (specificity, detection sensitivity) of the developed array was evaluated using the labeled genomic DNA of pure bacterial strains, Escherichia coli DH5M-NM-1 and Sphingomonas sp. strain NM-05 (involved in the biodegradation of M-NM-3-hexachlorohexane isolated from IPL, Lucknow) at different concentrations of 300ng, 500ng, 800ng, 1000ng and 1250ng. The specificity of the developed array was further validated using mixed cultures containing three strains (Sphingomonas sp. strain NM-05, Rhodococcus sp. strain RHA1 and Bordetella sp. strain IITR-02) involved in biodegradation of M-NM-3-hexachlorohexane, biphenyl and chlorobenzenes respectively. The mixed culture also contained non-target/non-degrader strains (E. coli DHM-NM-1, E.coli BL21 and E.coli K12 NCTC50192). The developed array was applied for profiling using the total soil DNA in five contaminated habitats of north India, viz. chloroaromatic chemicals contaminated site (India Pesticide Limited, Chinhat, Lucknow), a river sediments (Gomti river sediment, Lucknow), heavy metal industry dump site (Jajmau industrial area Kanpur), a effluent treatment plant (CETP along Ganges river near Kanpur), and an oil refinery (Mathura oil refinery). Hybridization of 16S rRNA probes revealed the presence of bacteria similar to well characterized genera involved in biodegradation of pollutants. Genes involved in complete degradation pathways for hexachlorocyclohexane (lin), 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene (tcb), naphthalene (nah), phenol (mph), biphenyl (bph), benzene (ben), toluene (tbm), xylene (xyl), phthalate (pht), Salicylate (sal) and resistance to mercury (mer) were detected with highest intensity. The most abundant genes belonged to hydroxylases, monooxygenases and dehydrogenases which were present in all the five samples. Many compound specific genes which initiate the degradation pathway were also detected. Thus, the array developed and validated here may be useful in assessing the biodegradative potential and composition of environmentally useful bacteria in hazardous ecosystems.

Project description:p-Hydroxycinnamates, such as p-coumarate and ferulate, are components of plant cell walls and have a number of commercial applications. Previously, we had shown that the soil Actinobacterium Rhodococcus jostii RHA1 (RHA1) grows on ferulate, catabolizing it via vanillate and the M-NM-2-ketoadipate pathway. We used transcriptomics to identify genes in RHA1 that were specifically up-regulated during growth on ferulate. These include three operons predicted to encode the uptake and M-NM-2-oxidative deacetylation of ferulate and p-coumarate: couHLT, couMNO and couR. A couL mutant did not grow on p-coumarate, ferulate or their dihydro derivatives, but grew on vanillate. Purified CouL catalyzed the thioesterification of several p-hydroxycinnamates. Among the tested substrates, the best were p-coumarate and caffeate (kcat/KM ~400 mM-1s-1), and sinapate was not transformed. Of these, p-coumarate was also RHA1M-bM-^@M-^Ys preferred growth substrate. Although the data indicate that p-hydroxycinnamates are catabolized via M-NM-2-oxidation, the pathway lacks a typical M-NM-2-ketothiolase. The data further suggest the involvement of two formaldehyde detoxification pathways in vanillate catabolism. This study augments our understanding of the bacterial catabolism of biomass and facilitates the production of aromatics from renewable feedstocks. Transcriptomes of R. jostii RHA1 from ferulate and benzoate cultures were analysed using Ion PGMTM system.

Project description:Transcriptome studies confirm the nitrogen limited physiological state of both the wild-type and mutant cells. In addition, multiple differentially expressed genes involved in the synthesis and consumption of pools of acetyl-CoA, acetoacetyl-CoA and 3-hydroxybutyryl-CoA, key metabolites for PHA and TAG synthesis, were identified. An enrichment analysis of differentially expressed genes in the nitrogen starved wild-type versus the isogenic RHA1_ro02104 mutant strain identified genes in the mutant involved in fatty acid and lipid as well as genes involved in acyl-CoA hydrolysis and triacylglycerol degradation. An 8 x 15K array study using total RNA recovered from triplicate cultures of Rhodococcus jostii RHA1 under nitrogen rich and nitrogen starved conditions and triplicate cultures of Rhodococcus jostii RHA1 TadA-homolog deletion mutants (2104) under nitrogen rich and nitrogen starved conditions.

Project description:In the intracellular pathogen Brucella spp., the activation of the stringent response, a global regulatory network providing rapid adaptation to a variety of growth-affecting stress conditions such as nutrient deficiency, is essential for replication in the host. A single, bi-functional enzyme Rsh catalyzes synthesis and hydrolysis of the alarmone (p)ppGpp, responsible for differential gene expression under stringent conditions. cDNA microarray analysis allowed characterization of the transcriptional profiles of the B. suis 1330 wild-type and rsh mutant in a synthetic minimal medium, partially mimicking the nutrient-poor environment of the intramacrophagic vacuole. A total of 379 genes (11.6% of the genome) were differentially expressed in a rsh-dependent manner, of which 52% were up-regulated and 48% were down-regulated. The pleiotropic character of the response was confirmed, as the genes encoded factors belonging to various functional groups, comprising an important number of transcriptional regulators, cell envelope proteins, stress factors, transport systems, and energy metabolism proteins. Several virulence genes were under the positive control of (p)ppGpp. Methionine was the only amino acid whose biosynthesis was absolutely dependent on stringent response in B. suis. The study illustrated the complexity of the processes involved in adaptation to nutrient starvation, and contributed to a better understanding of the correlation between stringent response and Brucella virulence. Most interestingly, it clearly indicated (p)ppGpp-dependent cross-talk between at least three stress responses playing a central role in Brucella adaptation to the host: nutrient, oxidative, and low-oxygen stress. Two-condition experiment, wild-type against rsh mutant. Biological replicates: 4 wild-type, 4 rsh mutant, independently grown in minimal medium (under nutrient starvation condition) and harvested. One replicate per array. Please note that Channel 1 (Cy3) on each hybridization was a universal reference (Uref) used as a reference point to merge two (2 channel arrays) into a virtual 2 channel array with wild-type versus rsh mutant.
