Complete genome sequence of Escherichia coli C - old model organism with a new application in biofilm research

ABSTRACT: Escherichia coli strain C is the last of five E. coli strains (C, K12, B, W, Crooks) designated as safe for laboratory purposes whose genome has not been sequenced. We found that E. coli C forms more robust biofilms than the other four laboratory strains. Here we present the complete genomic sequence of this strain in which we utilized high resolution optical mapping to confirm a large inversion in comparison to other strains. DNA sequence comparison revealed the absence of several genes involved in biofilm formation, such as antigen 43, waaSBOJYZUL for LPS synthesis, and cpsB for curli synthesis. The main difference affecting biofilm formation is the presence of an IS3-like insertion sequence in front of the carbon storage regulator csrA gene. This insertion is located 86 bp upstream of the csrA start codon inside the -35 region of P4 promoter and blocks the transcription from the sigma32 and sigma70 promoters P1-P3 located further upstream. Analysis of gene expression profiles in planktonic and biofilm attached cells by the RNAseq method allows better understanding of this regulatory pathway in E. coli.

CRISPR/dCas-based modulation of bacterial IS-transposition

Project description:In this work, a plasmid-based system is applied to inhibit the transposition of bacterial insertion sequences (IS). Using multiple guide RNAs, inactivated Cas9 was directed to simultaneously bind to the left end of IS1, IS5, IS3 and IS150 in Escherichia coli, in vivo. As a result, the transcription of IS1, and IS5 was successfully silenced, in certain cases by two orders of magnitude. The transposition rate of all four targeted elements nevertheless dropped to negligible levels, as verified at the cycA and bgl chromosomal loci. A GFP-expressing plasmid, known to be predominantly inactivated by insertion mutations also displayed a significant increase in stability. The transposition-silencing effect was easily transferable between various E. coli strains by plasmid transformation. Our portable system, or other plasmids constructed likewise can serve as useful tools to eliminate insertion mutagenesis or selectively study distinct transposable elements in numerous prokaryotic species.

E coli MG1655 biofilm and planktonic gene expression

Project description:Bacteria growing as surface-adherent biofilms are better able to withstand chemical and physical stresses than their unattached, planktonic counterparts. Using transcriptional profiling and quantitative PCR, we observed a previously uncharacterized gene, yjfO, to be upregulated during Escherichia coli MG1655 biofilm growth in a chemostat on serine-limited defined medium. A yjfO mutant, developed through targeted insertion mutagenesis, and a yjfO-complemented strain, were obtained for further characterization. While bacterial surface colonization levels (CFU/cm2) were similar in all three strains, the mutant strain exhibited reduced microcolony formation when observed in flow cells, and greatly enhanced flagellar motility on soft (0.3%) agar. Complementation of yjfO restored microcolony formation and flagellar motility to wild type levels. Cell surface hydrophobicity and twitching motility were unaffected by the presence or absence of yjfO. In contrast to the parent strain, biofilms from the mutant strain were less able to resist acid and peroxide stresses. yjfO had no significant effect on E. coli biofilm susceptibility to alkali or heat stress. Planktonic cultures from all three strains showed similar responses to these stresses. Regardless of the presence of yjfO, planktonic E. coli withstood alkali stress better than biofilm populations. Complementation of yjfO restored viability following exposure to peroxide stress, but did not restore acid resistance. Based on its influence on biofilm formation, stress response, and effects on motility, we propose renaming the uncharacterized gene, yjfO, as bsmA (biofilm stress and motility).

Rapid accumulation of motility-activating mutations in resting liquid culture of Escherichia coli

Project description:Expression and use of motility genes is a potentially beneficial but costly process in bacteria. Interestingly, many isolate strains of Escherichia coli possess motility genes but have lost the ability to activate them in conditions in which motile cells are advantageous, raising the question of how they respond to these situations. Through transcriptome profiling of strains in the E. coli single-gene knockout Keio collection, we noticed drastic upregulation of motility genes in many of the deletion strains as compared to its typically non-motile parent strain (BW25113). This switch to a motile phenotype is not a direct consequence of the genes deleted, but is instead due to a variety of secondary mutations that increase the synthesis of the major motility regulator, FlhDC. We found that a phenotypic switch to motility at a population level can be induced in non-motile E. coli strains by incubation in non-shaking liquid medium overnight but not in shaking media. Individual isolates after the overnight incubation acquired distinct mutations upstream of the flhDC operon, including different insertion sequence (IS) elements and, to a lesser extent, point mutations. The rapid sweep in the non-shaking population shows that non-motile strains without existing regulatory mechanisms can quickly adapt to a motile lifestyle by quickly acquired genetic changes.

Identifying genes of Escherichia coli involved in interactions with Stenotrophomonas maltophilia in planktonic cultures and biofilms using transcriptomic analysis

Project description:Biofilm formation by Escherichia coli was significantly inhibited when co-cultured with Stenotrophomonas maltophilia in static systems. Genes of E. coli involved in species interactions with S. maltophilia were identified in order to allow the study of the mechanisms of inhibited E. coli biofilm formation in co-culture. A total of 89 and 108 genes were identified as differentially expressed in mixed species cultures when growing as biofilm and as planktonic cultures, respectively, compared to the counterpart of pure cultured E. coli. Differential expression of certain identified genes was confirmed using E. coli reporter strains combined with single-cell based flow cytometry analysis. Co-culture with S. maltophilia affected genes involved in metabolism, signal transduction, cell wall composition, and biofilm formation of E. coli. Several selected genes were further confirmed as affecting E. coli biofilm formation in mixed species cultures with S. maltophilia. The data suggest that these genes were involved in species interactions between E. coli and S. maltophilia. This SuperSeries is composed of the SubSeries listed below.
