The Heavy-Metal Resistance Determinant of Newly Isolated Bacterium from a Nickel-Contaminated Soil in Southwest Slovakia.

Project description:A bacterial isolate MR-CH-I2 [KC809939] isolated from soil contaminated mainly by high nickel concentrations in southwest Slovakia was previously found carrying nccA-like heavy-metal resistance determinant, marked as MR-CH-I2-HMR [KF218096]. According to phylogenetic analysis of short (696 bp) 16S rDNA (16S rRNA) sequences this bacterium was tentatively assigned to Uncultured beta proteobacterium clone GC0AA7ZA05PP1 [JQ913301]. nccA-like gene product was on the same base of its partial (581 bp) sequences tentatively assigned to CzcA family heavy metal efflux pump [YP_001899332] from Ralstonia picketii 12J with 99% similarity. In this study the bacterium MR-CH-I2 and its heavy-metal resistance determinant were more precisely identified. This bacterial isolate was on the base of phylogenetic analysis of almost the whole (1,500 bp) 16S rDNA (16S rRNA) sequence, MR-CH-I2 [MF102046], and sequence for gyrB gene and its product respectively, MR-CH-I2-gyrB [MF134666], assigned to R. picketii 12J [CP001068] with 99 and 100% similarities, respectively. In addition, the whole nccA-like heavy-metal resistance gene sequence (3,192 bp), marked as MR-CH-I2-nccA [KR476581], was obtained and on the base of phylogenetic analysis its assignment was confirmed to MULTISPECIES: cation efflux system protein CzcA [WP_004635342] from Burkholderiaceae with 98% similarity. Furthermore, although the bacterium carried one high molecular plasmid of about 50 kb in size, nccA-like gene was not located on this plasmid. Finally, the results from RT-PCR analysis showed that MR-CH-I2-nccA gene was significantly induced only by the addition of nickel.

Collembola growth in heavy metal-contaminated soils.

Project description:Collembola play a key role in soil ecosystems by decomposing organic matter. Most of them inhabit the upper layers of the soil and are susceptible to contamination present in the pore water. These arthropods serve as model organisms in ecotoxicology for short and long-term exposure. This study aimed to assess the toxicity of three heavy metals (lead [Pb], cadmium [Cd], and copper [Cu]) using the springtail species Folsomia candida as the test organism, with mortality and growth inhibition as the measure of toxicity. We hypothesised that increasing metal concentrations in the soil would correspond to a growth reduction of Collembola. Each heavy metal was tested at a minimum of eight increasing concentrations in six replications. Twenty 10-12-day-old individuals were introduced into each test container filled with contaminated or control soil and incubated for 14 days. The test endpoints included growth inhibition determined by comparing F. candida growth rates in contaminated soil with those in control soil, as well as mortality rates. The EC50 values (mg/kg) for heavy metals were as follows: Cd = 66.89, Cu = 791.01, Pb = 10075.48. Our findings suggest that growth inhibition is a reliable indicator of Collembola toxicity to heavy metals.

Biodiversity of Actinomycetes from Heavy Metal Contaminated Technosols.

Project description:Technosols are artificial soils generated by diverse human activities and frequently contain toxic substances resulting from industrial processes. Due to lack of nutrients and extreme physico-chemical properties, they represent environments with limited bacterial colonization. Bacterial populations of technosols are dominated usually by Actinobacteria, including streptomycetes, known as a tremendous source of biotechnologically important molecules. In this study, the biodiversity of streptomycete-like isolates from several technosols, mainly mine soils and wastes (landfills and sludge) in Slovakia, was investigated. The combination of basic morphological and biochemical characterisations, including heavy metal resistance determination, and molecular approaches based on 16S rRNA gene analysis were used for the identification of the bacterial strains. From nine isolates of Actinobacteria collected from different habitats, one was found to represent a new species within the Crossiella genus. Eight other isolates were assigned to the genus Streptomyces, of which at least one could represent a new bacterial species. Some isolates showed high resistance to Pb, Zn, Cu or Ni. The most tolerated metal was Pb. The results obtained in this study indicate that technosols are a prospective source of new actinomycete species resistant to heavy metals what underlines their bioremediation potential.

Heavy Metal Induced Antibiotic Resistance in Bacterium LSJC7.

Project description:Co-contamination of antibiotics and heavy metals prevails in the environment, and may play an important role in disseminating bacterial antibiotic resistance, but the selective effects of heavy metals on bacterial antibiotic resistance is largely unclear. To investigate this, the effects of heavy metals on antibiotic resistance were studied in a genome-sequenced bacterium, LSJC7. The results showed that the presence of arsenate, copper, and zinc were implicated in fortifying the resistance of LSJC7 towards tetracycline. The concentrations of heavy metals required to induce antibiotic resistance, i.e., the minimum heavy metal concentrations (MHCs), were far below (up to 64-fold) the minimum inhibition concentrations (MIC) of LSJC7. This finding indicates that the relatively low heavy metal levels in polluted environments and in treated humans and animals might be sufficient to induce bacterial antibiotic resistance. In addition, heavy metal induced antibiotic resistance was also observed for a combination of arsenate and chloramphenicol in LSJC7, and copper/zinc and tetracycline in antibiotic susceptible strain Escherichia coli DH5α. Overall, this study implies that heavy metal induced antibiotic resistance might be ubiquitous among various microbial species and suggests that it might play a role in the emergence and spread of antibiotic resistance in metal and antibiotic co-contaminated environments.

Proteomic analysis reveals global iron starvation response to metal mixture exposure in a Bacillus cereus strain native to a heavy metal contaminated site

Project description:Globally, multiple heavy metal contamination is an increasingly common problem. As heavy metals have the potential to disrupt microbially-mediated biogeochemical cycling, it is critical to understand their impact on microbial physiology. However, systems-level studies on the effects of a combination of heavy metals on bacteria are lacking. Here, we use a native Bacillus cereus isolate from the subsurface of the Oak Ridge Reservation (ORR; Oak Ridge, TN, USA) subsurface— representing a highly abundant species at the site— to assess the combined impact of eight metal contaminants. Using this metal mixture and individual metals, all at concentrations based on the ORR site geochemistry, we performed growth experiments and proteomic analyses of the B. cereus strain, in combination with targeted MS-based metabolomics and gene expression profiling. We found that the combination of eight metals impacts cell physiology in a manner that could not have been predicted from summing phenotypic responses to the individual metals. Specifically, exposure to the metal mixture elicited global iron starvation responses not observed in any of the individual metal treatments. As nitrate is also a significant contaminant at the ORR site and nitrate and nitrite reductases are iron-containing enzymes, we also examined the effects of the metal mixture on reduction of nitrogen oxides. We found that the metal mixture inhibits the activity of these enzymes through a combination of direct enzymatic damage and post-transcriptional and post-translational regulation. Altogether, these data suggest that metal mixture studies are critical for understanding how multiple rather than individual metals influence microbial processes in the environment.
