Biphasic polysaccharide metabolism of Alteromonas macleodii 83-1 analyzed by RNA-Seq

ABSTRACT: Polysaccharides from macroalgae are important bacterial nutrient source and central biogeochemical component in the oceans. To illuminate the cellular mechanisms of polysaccharide degradation by marine bacteria, growth of Alteromonas macleodii 83-1 on a mix of laminarin, alginate and pectin was characterized using transcriptomics, proteomics and exometabolomics. A. macleodii 83-1 showed two distinct growth stages, with exponential growth during laminarin utilization followed by maintenance during simultaneous alginate/pectin utilization. The biphasic growth coincided with major temporal shifts in gene expression and metabolite secretion, enabling to define major/accessory polysaccharide utilization loci, reconstruct the complete degradation pathways for each polysaccharide, as well as identify temporal phenotypes in other relevant traits. FT-ICR-MS revealed a distinct suite of secreted metabolites for each growth phase, with pyrroloquinoline quinone exclusively produced with alginate/pectin. The finding of substrate-unique phenotypes indicates an exquisite adaptation to polysaccharide utilization with probable relevance for the degradation of macroalgal biomass, which comprises a complex mix of polysaccharides. Moreover, substrate-unique exometabolomes possibly influence metabolic interactions with other community members. Overall, the presence of fine-tuned genetic machineries for polysaccharide degradation and the widespread detection of related CAZymes in global locations indicate an ecological relevance of A. macleodii in marine polysaccharide cycling and bacteria-algae interactions.

RNA-seq analysis of Bacteroides xylanisolvens XB1AT grown on pectin or xylan

Project description:Dietary fiber degradation is a key function of the human gut microbiota. The aim of this study was to increase our knowledge on the degradation of plant cell wall polysaccharide degradation by a prominent human gut bacterial species, Bacteroides xylanisolvens. The transcriptome analysis of B. xylanisolvens XB1AT revealed the existence of six and two genomic loci dedicated to the degradation of pectins and xylan, respectively. These loci or PUL ("Polysaccharide Utilization Loci") are known to encode enzyme systems in Bacteroides that are specific to a particular polysaccharide. Simple two-way comparisons between pectin or xylan sources (treatment) and glucose or xylose (control), collected during mid- and late-log phase. Three replicates per condition.

Proteomic and genomic analysis of the marine fungus Paradendryphiella salina

Project description:We set out to investigate the genetic adaptions of the known marine fungus Paradendryphiella salina CBS112865 to the degradation of brown macro-algae, expecting to find a repertoire of carbohydrate active enzymes highly specialized to the degradation of algal polysaccharides. We performed whole genome, transcriptome sequencing and shotgun proteomic analysis of the secretome of P. salina growing on three species of brown algae and under carbon starvation. The genome comparison to close terrestrial fungal relatives, revealed P. salina to have a similar, but reduced carbohydrate active enzyme (CAZyme) profile, except for the presence of three putative alginate lyase 7 genes, most likely acquired via ancient horizontal gene transfer event from a marine bacterium and a polysaccharide lyase 8 gene with similarity to ascomycete chondroitin AC lyases. The proteomic analysis revealed both PL7 and PL8 enzymes to be highly abundant in the algal fermentations together with enzymes necessary for degradation of laminarin, cellulose, lipids and peptides. Our findings indicate that the base CAZyme repertoire of saprobic and plant pathogenic ascomycetes with the necessary addition of alginate lyases provide the fungi with the enzymatic capabilities to thrive on brown algae polysaccharides and even cope with the algal defense mechanisms.

Analysis of Polysaccharide Utilization Loci from 53 sequenced North Sea Flavobacteriia suggests that major algal glycans exhibit limited structural diversity

Project description:Marine algae convert a substantial fraction of the carbon dioxide they fix into various polysaccharides. Bacteria specialized on the remineralization of these polysaccharides often feature genomic clusters, termed polysaccharide utilization loci (PULs). Such PULs are often prevalent in, but not limited to, marine Flavobacteriia. Since knowledge on extant PUL diversity is sparse, we sequenced the genomes of 53 North Sea Flavobacteriia. We obtained 400 PULs, suggesting usage of a large array of polysaccharides, including laminarin, α- and β-mannans, fucose-, xylose-, galactose-, rhamnose- and arabinose-containing substrates, pectins, and chitins. Many of the PULs were novel, some indicating substrates that have rarely been described in marine environments. PUL repertoires of isolates often differed significantly within genera, corroborating ecological niche-associated glycan partitioning. Polysaccharide uptake in Flavobacteriia is mediated by SusCD. Respective protein trees revealed clustering according to polysaccharide specificities. Analysis of SusCD expression in multiyear phytoplankton bloom-associated metaproteomes indicated changes in microbial utilization of glucan, ß-mannan and sulfated xylan, suggesting that distinct substrates are temporarily abundant.

Hyper-specialized Bacteroidetes selfishly compete for laminarin in microalgal blooms

Project description:Laminarin is a major storage polysaccharide in phytoplankton and an important carbon and energy source for marine microbes. How microbes compete for this labile polysaccharide in nature remains unclear. Here we investigated metaproteomes and metagenomes of bacterioplankton during four consecutive algal blooms in the North Sea to determine key laminarin consumers. We identified two specialized laminarin degraders of the Bacteroidetes group, which reached high abundances year after year. We found that these genomically streamlined bacteria of the genus Formosa have an expanded set of laminarin hydrolases, sensors and transporters that belonged to the most abundant proteins in the blooms. The respective genes are organized in three polysaccharide utilization loci. Proteomic and biochemical analyses revealed surface tethered enzymes and a laminarinase recombined with a membrane-spanning transporter, which act as a disassembly line and efficiently integrate substrate degradation and uptake in the highly diffusive, aquatic environment. We also show that the bloom bacteria couple laminarin utilization with uptake of cellular building blocks such as amino acids. This study suggests that in addition to genome reduction, enzyme fusions, transporter and enzyme expansion also the tight coupling of the carbon and nitrogen uptake make Formosa spp. efficient laminarin utilizers.

Genome-wide analysis of Botrytis cinerea genes targeting plant cell walls of different hosts [tomato]

Project description:The cell wall is among the first plant structures encountered by necrotrophic fungal pathogens, such as Botrytis cinerea. The composition of plant cell walls varies depending on the species, type of cell or tissue, and stage of development. Cell walls are important reservoirs of energy-rich sugars for pathogens, but also are barriers that impair colonization of host tissues. Growing fungal hyphae secrete enzymes that hydrolyze cell wall polysaccharides. Degradation of wall polysaccharides provides nutrients for the pathogen and improves the access of secreted Botrytis enzymes to all host cell wall targets and cytoplasmic constituents. Destruction of host cell walls results in tissue maceration, a hallmark of diseases caused by Botrytis. The Botrytis genome encodes 1,155 predicted carbohydrate-active enzyme (CAZy) genes; products of 275 are potentially secreted. Transcriptome sequencing identified Botrytis CAZy genes expressed during infections of lettuce leaves, ripe tomato fruit and grape berries. On all three hosts, Botrytis expresses a common group of 229 predicted CAZy genes including 28 pectin-modifying enzymes, 21 hemicellulose-modifying proteins, 18 enzymes targeting pectin and hemicellulose side-branches, and 16 enzymes that may degrade cellulose. Pectin polysaccharides are abundant in grape and tomato cell walls, but lettuce leaf walls are predominantly hemicelluloses and cellulose. These results suggest that Botrytis targets similar wall polysaccharide networks; e.g., pectins, on leaves and fruit, but also attacks unique host wall polysaccharide substrates The diversity of the Botrytis CAZy proteins may be partly responsible for its wide host range. 3 biological replicates consisting of groups of infected tomato fruits from different plants

Thermotoga species transcription on glucose and a mix of polysaccharides

Project description:Hyperthermophilic bacteria of the genus Thermotoga are known to utilize a wide range of simple and complex polysaccharides. T. maritima's transcriptional response to a variety of mono- and poly-saccharides was previously studied to assign functions to genes involved in carbohydrate uptake and utilization. To compare and contrast closely-related members of the Thermotoga genus, a four-species microarray was developed by expanding a whole genome T. maritima array to include unique genes from three other species (T. neapolitana, T. petrophila, and T. sp. RQ2). This multi-species array was used to investigate the diversity of the genus, specifically the response of each of the four species to a mixture of polysaccharides (galactomannan, glucomannan, xylan, pectin, lichenan, and carboxymethyl cellulose). RNA derived from glucose-grown cultures (glu) was compared to RNA derived from polysaccharide-grown cultures (poly) using a dye swap setup.
