Metaproteomic Insights Into the Microbial Community in Pozol.

ABSTRACT: Pozol is an acidic, refreshing, and non-alcoholic traditional Mayan beverage made with nixtamalized corn dough that is fermented spontaneously. The extensive analysis of the microbiology, biochemistry and metaproteomics of pozol allowed the construction of a comprehensive image of the fermentation system. The main changes in both the substrate and the microbiota occurred in the first 9 h of fermentation. The increase in microorganisms correlated with the drop in pH and with the decrease in the contents of carbohydrates, lipids, and nitrogen, which shows that this stage has the highest metabolic activity. Bacterial proteins were mainly represented by those of lactic acid bacteria, and among them, the proteins from genus Streptococcus was overwhelmingly the most abundant. Yeast proteins were present in all the analyzed samples, while proteins from filamentous fungi increased up to 48 h. The metaproteomic approach allowed us to identify several previously unknown enzyme complexes in the system. Additionally, enzymes for hydrolysis of starch, hemicellulose and cellulose were found, indicating that all these substrates can be used as a carbon source by the microbiota. Finally, enzymes related to the production of essential intermediates involved in the synthesis of organic acids, acetoin, butanediol, fatty acids and amino acids important for the generation of compounds that contribute to the sensorial quality of pozol, were found.

Metaproteomic analyses of microbial community from ancient permafrost

Project description:It remains challenging to study the viability and metabolic activity of microorganisms buried in ancient permafrost. We coupled aspartic acid racemization assay with metaproteomics to constraint the microbial activity of indigenous microbial community entrappped in permafrost sediment over 100 kyr ago.

Transcriptome of a Synthetic Microbial Community

Project description:To explore the ecological basis for multiple bacteria species coexistence, we set up three bacteria (Ruegeria pomeroyi DSS-3, Vibrio hepatarius HF70, and Thalassospira sp. HF15), either in monoculture or in co-cultures (in all combinations) for a 8 day growth-dilution cycles. At ~15h of day 4 (P4) and day 8 (P8) of growth-dilution cycles, we examined transcriptomic responses of these bacteria. Differential gene expressions were used to generate hypothesis about ecological and physiological responses of one in the presence of another/other bacteria.

Metaproteomic analysis of microbial community in Zaopei for Chinese Baijiu production

Project description:Currently, Baijiu production is performed with different varieties of sorghum that vary considerably in price. Although studies have shown that sorghum varieties affect Baijiu quality, the specific effects of sorghum varieties on Baijiu fermentation have not been thoroughly studied. By using multiple-omics analyses, we compared the fermentation process and final quality of Baijiu brewed from four representative sorghum varieties and identified the involved microbial mechanisms. In addition to providing insight into Baijiu fermentation mechanisms, the results can guide the selection of suitable raw materials for production and future breeding of high quality varieties.

A metaproteomic analysis of the response of a freshwater microbial community under nutrient enrichment

Project description:Eutrophication can lead to an uncontrollable increase in algal biomass, which has repercussions for the entire microbial and pelagic community. Studies have shown how nutrient enrichment affects microbial species succession, however details regarding the impact on community functionality are rare. Here, we applied a metaproteomic approach to investigate the functional changes to algal and bacterial communities, over time, in oligotrophic and eutrophic conditions, in freshwater microcosms. Samples were taken early during algal and cyanobacterial dominance and later under bacterial dominance. 1048 proteins, from the two treatments and two timepoints, were identified and quantified by their exponentially modified protein abundance index. In oligotrophic conditions, Bacteroidetes express extracellular hydrolases and Ton-B dependent receptors to degrade and transport high molecular weight compounds captured while attached to the phycosphere. Alpha- and Beta-proteobacteria were found to capture different substrates from algal exudate (carbohydrates and amino acids, respectively) suggesting resource partitioning to avoid direct competition. In eutrophic conditions, environmental adaptation proteins from cyanobacteria suggested better resilience compared to algae in a low carbon nutrient enriched environment. This study provides insight into differences in functional microbial processes between oligo- and eutrophic conditions at different timepoints and highlights how primary producers control bacterial resources in freshwater environments.

Vinyl Chloride Degradation by Mixed Microbial Community KB1

Project description:A shotgun metagenome microarray was created and used to investigate gene transcription during vinyl chloride (VC) dechlorination by a microbial enrichment culture called KB1. The array was constructed by spotting genomic fragments amplified from short-insert libraries of KB1 metagenomic DNA. Subsequently, the microarrays were interrogated with RNA extracted from KB1 during VC dechlorination (VC+methanol), and in the absence of VC (methanol-only). The most differentially expressed spots, and spots with the highest intensities, were then chosen to be sequenced. Sequencing revealed that Dehalococcoides (Dhc) genes involved in transcription, translation and energy generation were up-regulated during VC degradation. Furthermore, the results indicated that the reductive dehalogenase homologous (RDH) gene KB1rdhA14 is the only RDH gene up-regulated upon VC degradation, and that multiple RDH genes were more highly transcribed in the absence of VC. Numerous hypothetical genes from Dehalococcoides were also more highly transcribed in methanol only treatments and indicate that many uncharacterized proteins are involved in cell maintenance in the absence of chlorinated substrates. Spots with genes from Spirochaetes, Chloroflexi, Geobacter, Methanogens and phage organisms were differentially expressed and sequencing provided information from these uncultivated organisms that can be used to design primers for more targeted studies. This array format is powerful, as it does not require a priori sequence knowledge. This study provides the first report of such arrays being used to investigate transcription in a mixed community, and shows that this array format can be used to screen metagenomic libraries for functionally important genes.
