Global transcriptional response of Nitrosomonas europaea to chloroform and chloromethane.

ABSTRACT: Upon exposure of Nitrosomonas europaea to chloroform (7 microM, 1 h), transcripts for 175 of 2,460 genes were found at higher levels in treated cells than in untreated cells and transcripts for 501 genes were found at lower levels. With chloromethane (3.2 mM, 1 h), transcripts for 67 genes were at higher levels and transcripts for 148 genes were at lower levels. Transcripts for 37 genes were at higher levels following both treatments and included genes for heat shock proteins, sigma-factors of the extracytoplasmic function subfamily, and toxin-antitoxin loci. N. europaea has higher levels of transcripts for a variety of defense genes when exposed to chloroform or chloromethane.

Global Transcriptional Response of Nitrosomonas europaea to Cyanide

Project description:Pure cultures of ammonia oxidizing bacterium, Nitrosomonas europaea, are exposed to cyanide in pseudo-steady state batch reactor in presence of ammonia. Nitrosomonas europaea are generally regarded as the most sensitive organism to various inhibitors commonly encountered in the wastewater treatment plants (WWTP). To find stress genes of Nitrosomonas europaea to cyanide known as inhibitor of respiratory process, whole-genome transcript response to cyanide was determined in this research using microarray and qRT-PCR. When 1 uM NaCN inhibits nitrification about 50 %, transcript levels of 35 genes were increased while transcript levels of 29 genes were decreased, showing more than 2-fold in total 2460 genes. moeZ (NE2353), homologue with rhodanases related to detoxification of CN-, showed 7-fold up regulation and gene cluster including moeZ also showed significant up regulation. Keywords: cyanide, stress response, moeZ

Nitrosomonas europaea cells treated with chloroform for one hour and compared to untreated cells

Project description:We analyzed the global transcriptional response of N. europaea when exposed to chloroform (7 µM for 1 h). Chloroform led to down regulation of 501 genes and up regulation of 251 genes. These up regulated genes included genes for heat shock proteins, sigmafactors of extracytoplasmic function subfamily and newly identified genes of toxin-antitoxin loci in N. europaea. Our study showed that despite a significant decrease of transcription in response to the stress, N. europaea expresses a plethora of defense genes when exposed to chloroform. Keywords: stress response, global transcription, toxin-antitoxin genes

Genome-Wide Transcriptional Responses of Nitrosomonas europaea to Zinc

Project description:Nitrosomonas europaea is a Gram-negative obligate chemolithoautotroph that derives energy for growth through oxidation of ammonia and participates in the process of nitrification in global nitrogen cycling. The physiological, proteomic, and transcriptional responses of N. europaea to zinc stress were studied. The nitrite production rate and ammonia-dependent oxygen uptake rate of the cells exposed to 3.4 uM ZnCl2 decreased about 61 % and 69 % within 30 minutes, respectively. Two proteins were notably up regulated in zinc treatment and the mRNA levels of their encoding genes started to increase by one hour after the addition of zinc. A total of 27 genes were up regulated and 30 genes were down regulated. Up-regulated genes included mercury resistance genes (merACDPT), inorganic ion transport genes, oxidative stress genes, toxin-antitoxin genes (TA) and two-component signal transduction systems genes. The merACDPT was the highest up regulated operon (46-fold). Down-regulated genes included the RuBisCO operon (cbbO), carbohydrate transporter (mrsA and mnxG) and amino acid transporter.

Genome-Wide Transcriptional Responses of Nitrosomonas europaea to cadmium

Project description:Heavy metals have been postulated as significant nitrification inhibitor in wastewater treatment plant. The effect of heavy metals such as Cd2+, Cu2+ and Hg2+ to nitrifying bacterium, Nitrosomonas europaea, was studied in pseudo-steady state batch reactor. Under incubation of Nitrosomonas europaea with 1 ?M CdCl2 for 1 hour, transcripts for 66 of 2460 genes were found at high level, yet transcripts of 50 genes were found at low level. Mercury resistance genes (merACDPT) showed 277-fold up regulation. Keywords: cadmium, stress response, global transcription, mercury resistance genes, merA,
