Disruption of gul-1 decreased the culture viscosity and improved protein secretion in the filamentous fungus Neurospora crassa

ABSTRACT: In this study, we screened morphological mutants in the filamentous fungus N. crassa. Of the 90 morphological mutants screened, 14 mutants exhibited considerably higher viscosity compared with that of the wild type strain, and only 2 mutants showed low-viscosity morphologies in submerged culture. We observed that disruption of gul-1 (NCU01197), which encodes an mRNA binding protein involved in cell wall remodeling, caused pellet formation as the fermentation progressed, and resulted in the most significant decrease in viscosity of culture broth. Moreover, over-expression of gul-1 caused dramatically increased viscosity, suggesting that the gul-1 had an important function in mycelial morphology during submerged cultivation. Additionally, the deletion of gul-1 caused increased protein secretion, probably due to a defect in cell wall integrity, suggesting this as an alternative strategy of strain improvement for enzyme production. To confirm practical application, deleting gul-1 in the hyper-cellulase producing strain (∆ncw-1∆Ncap3m) significantly reduced the viscosity of culture broth.

Deletion of the Aspergillus niger pro-protein processing protease gene kexB results in a pH-dependent morphological transition during submerged cultivations and increases cell wall chitin content

Project description:There is a growing interest for the use of post-fermentation mycelial waste to obtain cell wall chitin as an added-value product. In the pursuit to identify suitable production strains that can be used for post-fermentation cell wall harvesting, we turned to an Aspergillus niger strain in which the kexB (also named pclA in literature) gene was deleted. Previous work has shown that deletion of kexB causes hyper-branching and thicker cell walls, which is beneficial as these properties reduce fermentation viscosity and lysis. The deletion of kexB has been shown to exhibit a pH-dependent hyper-branching on solid agar plates at pH 6.0, but not at pH 5.0, whereas this phenotype was reported to be less pronounced during submerged growth. Here, we show a series of controlled batch cultivations performed at a pH range of 5, 5.5, and 6 to examine the pellet phenotype in liquid medium of the ΔkexB strain. Morphological analysis showed that the ΔkexB formed wild type-like pellets at pH 5.0 whereas the characteristic hyper-branching ΔkexB phenotype was found at pH 6.0. Cultivations at pH 5.5 showed that the ΔkexB strain grows as an intermediate phenotype of pH 5.0 and pH 6.0. Analyzing the cell walls of the ΔkexB strain from these controlled pH-conditions showed an increase in chitin content compared to wild type at all three pH values tested. Surprisingly, the increase in chitin content was found to be irrespective of the hyper-branching morphology. Evidence for alterations in cell wall make-up are corroborated by transcriptional analysis that showed a significant cell wall stress response in addition to upregulation of genes encoding other unrelated cell well biosynthetic genes.

Metabolome of three Vancomycin-intermediate Staphylococcus aureus (VISA) mutants compared with the parent strain MM66

Project description:Vancomycin-intermediate Staphylococcus aureus (VISA) evolve in a strain-specific manner and acquire mutations that lead to alterations in cell wall metabolism that reduce susceptibility to vancomycin. We had earlier isolated several VISA mutant strains of the clinical hVISA strain MM66. This study is aimed at analyzing the metabolome of these mutants in comparison to the parent strain.

RNA-seq analysis of Streptococcus pneumoniae during intraspecies competition in broth culture

Project description:Streptococcus pneumoniae (‘pneumococcus’) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide and a frequent coloniser of the nasopharynx. Competition among bacterial members of the nasopharynx is believed to be mediated by bacteriocins: antimicrobial toxins produced by bacteria to inhibit growth of other bacteria. We have identified 14 newly-discovered bacteriocin gene clusters among pneumococci. Here, RNA-seq analysis was performed to investigate whether bacteriocin genes are transcriptionally active when two different strains are competing in broth culture. Pneumococcal reference strains PMEN3 (Spain9V-3) and PMEN6 (Hungary19A-6) were grown together in broth culture. Samples were taken at sequential time points and RNA was extracted and sequenced. The controls were prepared by growing each strain individually in identical experiential conditions and combining the RNA sequencing reads from each individual strain in silico. Differential expression analyses were performed by comparing reads generated when strains were competing in broth culture to those from when strains were grown individually.

The Candida albicans regulator ZCF21 controls the expression of cell wall components

Project description:We report that a transcriptional regulator that originated in the lineage that gave rise to multiple host-associated Candida species is a key component of the circuitry that governs the C. albicans cell surface composition. Specifically, we show that the transcription regulator ZCF21 controls the expression of genes encoding multiple cell surface proteins and cell wall modifying enzymes. Transcriptome (RNA-seq) analysis of 2 Candida albicans strains (reference strain and zcf21 deletion mutant) grown under 4 culture conditions (YPD broth at 30Â°C for 24h; YPD broth at 30Â°C in the presence of 15 mM caffeine for 24h; Todd-Hewitt agar at 37Â°C for 24h; Todd-Hewitt agar at 37Â°C for 24h in the presence of 5 mM caffeine).

Global changes in Staphylococcus aureus gene expression in human blood provide insight into mechanisms of immune evasion and virulence

Project description:Staphylococcus aureus is a leading cause of bloodstream infections worldwide. In the United States, many of these infections are caused by a strain known as USA300. Although progress has been made, our understanding of the S. aureus molecules that promote bacteremia and survival in human blood is incomplete. To that end, we analyzed the USA300 transcriptome during culture in human blood, human serum, and trypticase soy broth (TSB), a standard laboratory culture media. Notably, genes encoding several cytolytic toxins were up-regulated in human blood over time, and hlgA, hlgB, and hlgC (encoding gamma-hemolysin subunits HlgA, HlgB, and HlgC) were among the most highly up-regulated genes at all time points. Culture supernatants derived from a USA300 isogenic hlgABC-deletion strain (LAC?hlgABC) had significantly reduced capacity to form pores in human neutrophils and ultimately cause neutrophil lysis. Compared with the wild-type USA300 strain (LAC), LAC?hlgABC had modestly reduced ability to cause mortality in a mouse bacteremia model. On the other hand, wild-type and LAC?hlgABC strains caused virtually identical disease in a mouse skin infection model, and bacterial survival and neutrophil lysis after phagocytosis in vitro was similar between these strains. Comparison of the cytolytic capacity of culture supernatants from wild-type and isogenic deletion strains lacking hlgABC, lukS/F-PV (encoding PVL), and/or lukDE revealed significant functional redundancy among two-component leukotoxins in vitro. These findings may explain in part the apparent limited contribution of any single two-component leukotoxin to USA300 immune evasion and virulence.

Transcriptome analysis of cryptococcal IPK mutants

Project description:In eukaryotes, inositol polyphosphates perform essential metabolic and signaling functions. Using human fungal pathogen Cryptococcus neoformans as a model, we created mutants in three inositol polyphosphates kinases: Arg1, Ipk1 and Kcs1. Each of the mutants produces a unique repertoire of inositol polyphosphates, different from the wild type strain. Comparative phenotypic and transcriptome analyses of wild type and mutant strains indicates that inositol polyphosphate PP-IP5 (IP7) is the key regulator of gene expression, fitness and virulence in C. neoformans. Comparison of WT and mutants (Darg1, Dkcs1 and Dipk1) grown in broth culture in the absence of stress.
