Transcriptomic response of 6 Propionibacterium freudenreichii strains during cold storage

ABSTRACT: Propionibacterium freudenreichii is used as a ripening culture in Swiss cheese manufacture. It produces flavor compounds over the whole ripening period. During cheese ripening, P. freudenreichii is exposed to a temperature downshift, especially when cheeses are transferred from warm temperature (about 24M-BM-0C) to cold temperature (about 4M-BM-0C). The cold adaptation of the type strain was studied previously. The aim of this study was to investigate the adaptation of 6 other P. freudenreichii strains at cold temperature by means of a global gene expression profile. The temporal transcriptomic response of 6 P. freudenreichii strains was analyzed at 2 times of growth, during growth at 30M-BM-0C then after 3 days 4M-BM-0C, in the constant presence of lactate as the main carbon source. Six strains were used: CIRM-BIA9, CIRM-BIA118, CIRM-BIA122, CIRM-BIA123, CIRM-BIA472, CIRM-BIA482. Gene expression was measured in the middle of exponential growth phase at 30M-BM-0C (20h, OD650 M-bM-^IM-^H 0.5), and after 3days of incubation at 4M-BM-0C. Three independent biological experiments were performed for each strain and at each time, and were labelled A, B, C. Five technical repetitions were performed using the RNA of 3J_122B, 3J_123A, 3J_472C, 20H_9A and 20H_482C samples. These technical repetitions were labelled 3J_122Bii, 3J_123Aii, 3J_472Cii, 20H_9Aii and 20H_482Cii respectively. The transcriptomic data for 20H_122A and 3J_123C samples were abberant and were thus not considered for further analysis.

Seven Propionibacterium freudenreichii strains exhibited similar responses when placed at 4°C. They slowed down cell machinery, displayed cold stress responses, and rerouted their carbon metabolism toward trehalose and glycogen synthesis, both accumulated in cells. These results highlight the molecular basis of long-term survival of P. freudenreichii in the cold. ...[more]

Project description:Profound understanding of the mechanisms foodborne pathogenic bacteria utilize in adaptation to the environmental stress they encounter during food processing and storage is of paramount importance in design of control measures. Chill temperature is a central control measure applied in minimally processed foods; however, data on the mechanisms the foodborne pathogen Clostridium botulinum activates upon cold stress are scarce. Global gene expression analysis on the C.M-BM- botulinum ATCC 3502 strain upon temperature downshift from 37 M-BM-0C to 15M-BM- M-BM-0C was performed to identify the cold-responsive gene set of this organism. Significant up- or down-regulation of 16 and 11 genes, respectively, was observed already 1 h after the cold shock. At 5 h after the temperature downshift, 199 and 210 genes were up- and down-regulated, respectively. Thus, the cold shock rapidly affected the expression of a gene set of a relatively small size, indicating a targeted acute response to cold shock, whereas extensive metabolic remodeling took place after prolonged exposure to cold. Induction of genes related to fatty acid biosynthesis, oxidative stress response, and iron uptake and storage was observed, in addition to mechanisms previously characterized as cold-tolerance related in bacteria. Furthermore, induction of several uncharacterized DNA-binding transcriptional regulator-encoding genes was observed, suggesting involvement of novel regulatory mechanisms in the cold shock response of C.M-BM- botulinum. The role of such regulatory proteins, CBO0477 and CBO0558A, in cold tolerance of C.M-BM- botulinum ATCC 3502 was demonstrated by the deteriorated growth of mutants of the respective genes at 17M-BM- M-BM-0C. C. botulinum ATCC 3502 wild type cold-shocked vs. pre-cold-shock; 3 replicates; growth at 37C in TPGY broth batch culture and subjected to cold shock to 15C; sampling at mid-log growth phase before cold shock, and 1 h and 5 h after temperature downshift to 15C (= 3 time points). Dye-swapped hybridization.

Project description:The two-component system CBO0366/CBO0365 was recently demonstrated to have a role in cold tolerance of Group I Clostridium botulinum ATCC 3502. The mechanisms under its control, ultimately resulting in increased sensitivity to low temperature, are unknown. A transcriptomic analysis with DNA microarrays was performed to identify the differences in global gene expression patterns of the wild-type ATCC 3502 and a derivative mutant with insertionally inactivated cbo0365 at 37 M-BM-0C and 15 M-BM-0C. Altogether 150 or 141 chromosomal CDSs were found to be differently expressed in the cbo0365 mutant at 37 M-BM-0C or 15 M-BM-0C, respectively, and thus considered to be under direct or indirect transcriptional control of the response regulator CBO0365. Of the differentially-expressed CDSs, expression of 141 CDSs was similarly affected at both temperatures investigated, suggesting that the putative CBO0365 regulon was practically not affected by temperature. The regulon involved genes related to acetone-butanol-ethanol (ABE) fermentation, motility, to arsenic resistance, and phosphate uptake and transport. Deteriorated growth at 17 M-BM-0C was observed for mutants with disrupted ABE fermentation pathway components (crt, bdh and ctfA), arsenic detoxifying machinery components (arsC and arsR), or phosphate uptake mechanism components (phoT), suggesting roles for these mechanisms in cold tolerance of Group I C. botulinum. Electrophoretic mobility shift assays showed recombinant CBO0365 to bind to the promoter regions of crt, arsR, and phoT, as well as to the promoter region of its own operon, suggesting direct DNA-binding transcriptional activation or repression as means for CBO0365 in regulating these operons. The results provide insight to the mechanisms Group I C. botulinum utilize in coping with cold. C. botulinum ATCC 3502 cbo0365 mutant vs. wild type; 3 replicates of each strain; growth at 37C in TPGY broth batch culture and subjected to cold shock to 15C; sampling at mid-log growth phase before cold shock, and 1 h after temperature downshift to 15C (= 2 time points).

Project description:We combined heritability analysis of larval development rate with a global expression analysis of this phenotype to investigate genotype by environment interactions across three ecologically relevant temperatures in the Glanville fritillary butterfly (Melitaea cinxia). We focused upon the development of final instar caterpillars which is greatly affected by temperature, and during this stage the caterpillars build up most of the resources for adult life. Second generation, lab reared larvae, initially collected from the M-CM-^Eland metapopulation, were reared in standard lab condition until 6th larval instar. At the beginning of the final (7th) instar stage the larvae were separated into of three temperature conditions: Cold treatment (temperature profile: 8M-BM-0C 18:00-9:59, 14M-BM-0C 10:00-11:59, 20M-BM-0C 12:00-15:59 and 14M-BM-0C 16:00-17:59) Standard treatment (temperature profile: 15M-BM-0C 17:00-6:59, 18M-BM-0C 7:00-8:59, 22M-BM-0C 9:00-10:59 and 26M-BM-0C 11:00-16:59) Hot treatment (temperature profile: 8M-BM-0C 20:00-7:59, 15M-BM-0C 8:00-9:59, 35M-BM-0C 10:00-17:59 and 15M-BM-0C 18:00-19:59) The temperature profiles mimic the diurnal thermal variation of the natural habitat (M-CM-^Eland islands) of samples. Cold treatment mimics a cool and cloudy summer, Standard represents an average temperature profile in the M-CM-^Eland islands and Hot treatment mimics an exceptionally hot and sunny summer, with cold night-time temperatures. The experiment contained several larval families (full-sib) of which three were selected for gene expression analysis. Samples were snap-frozen in liquid nitrogen during mid-development (after 6, 5 and 4 days, for Cold, Standard and Hot respectively). Additional larvae from the same treatments were assayed for survival and growth. Gene expression was analyzed using a mixed model approach to identify genes with potential heritable expression variation (variation among families), genes with plastic expression responses (treatment induced changes) and genes with treatment dependent expression that varies among families (family by treatment interactions). Full-sib larvae from three families (N170, N74 and O171) were exposed to three temperature treatments (Cold, Standard and Hot) during final (7th) instar stage. A total of 35 samples were used to analyze family, treatment and family by treatment interactions in gene expression, using a mixed model approach. This included 3 biological replicates in Cold and Hot treatments from each family and 5-6 biological replicates in Standard (5 in O171) per family. Techinal replicates from each family and additional techical replicates in family O171 (including dye swap replicates) were used to assess robustness of the findings.

Project description:Propionibacterium freudenreichii is used as a ripening culture in Swiss cheese manufacture. It produces flavor compounds over the whole ripening period. During cheese ripening, P. freudenreichii is exposed to a temperature downshift, especially when cheeses are transferred from warm temperature (about 24°C) to cold temperature (about 4°C). The aim of this study was to investigate the adaptation of P. freudenreichii at cold temperature by means of the first global gene expression profile for this species. The temporal transcriptomic response of P. freudenreichii was analyzed at five times of growth, during growth at 30°C then for 9 days at 4°C, in the constant presence of lactate as the main carbon source. P. freudenreichii response was also investigated by RT-qPCR for 30 genes, by proteomics and metabolomics (main metabolites quantified in culture supernatant). Microarray analysis revealed that 565 genes (25% of the protein-coding sequences of P. freudenreichii genome) were differentially expressed during transition from warm to cold temperature (P < 0.05 and |fold change| > 1). Most of the down-expressed genes were involved in cell machinery (cell division, protein turnover, translation, transcription and DNA replication). During incubation at cold temperature, P. freudenreichii accumulated carbon supplies by up-regulating genes involved in lactate, alanine and serine conversion to pyruvate, in gluconeogenesis and in glycogen synthesis. Interestingly, some genes involved in the formation of important flavor compounds of cheese, coding for an extracellular lipolytic esterases and enzymes of the pathways of formation of branched-chain compounds, were not significantly affected by cold. In conclusion, P. freudenreichii is metabolically active at cold temperature and induces pathways to maintain its long-term viability, which could explain its contribution to cheese ripening even at low temperature. Gene expression was measured in the middle of exponential growth phase at 30°C (20 h, OD650 ≈ 0.5), at the end of exponential growth phase (40 h, OD650 ≈ 2), and after 3, 6 and 9 days of incubation at 4°C. Three independent biological experiments were performed at each time (20h, 40h, 3, 6 and 9 days) and labelled A, B, C. One technical repetition was performed using the RNA of the 20HA sample ; This technical repetition was labelled 20HAbis.
