Project description:Acetate is a simple carboxylic acid that is synthesized in various microorganisms. Although acetate toxicity and tolerance have been studied in many microorganisms, little is known about the effects of exogenous acetate on the cell growth of acetogenic bacteria. In this study, we report the phenotypic changes that occurred in the acetogenic bacterium Clostridium sp. AWRP as a result of an adaptive laboratory evolution under acetate challenge. When compared with the wild-type strain, the acetate-adapted strain displayed a tolerance to acetate up to 10 g L-1 and higher biomass yields in batch cultures, although the metabolite profiles greatly varied depending on culture conditions. Interestingly, genome sequencing revealed that the adapted strain harbored three point mutations in the genes encoding an electron-bifurcating hydrogenase, which is crucial to its autotrophic growth on CO2 + H2, in addition to one in the dnaK gene. Transcriptome analysis revealed the global change in the gene expression profile of the acetate-adapted strain. Strikingly, most genes involved in CO2-fixing Wood-Ljungdahl pathway and auxiliary pathways for energy conservation (e.g., Rnf complex, Nfn, etc.) were significantly down-regulated. In addition, we observed that a couple of metabolic pathways associated with dissimilation of nucleosides and carbohydrates were significantly up-regulated in the acetate-adapted strain as well as several amino acid biosynthetic pathways, indicating that the strain might increase its fitness by utilizing organic substrates in response to the down-regulation of carbon fixation. Further investigation into the carbon fixation degeneration of the acetate-adapted strain will provide practical implications in CO2 + H2 fermentation using acetogenic bacteria for long-term continuous fermentation. The transcriptome profiles of the wild-type Clostridium sp. AWRP and its acetate-tolerant derivative 46T-a were compared.

Project description:JHM80 strain was obtained by adaptive evolution of Methylomonas sp. DH-1 strain against 8.0 g/L of lactate. The tolerance against lactate of JHM80 was obtained by the overexpression of watR (weak acid tolerance regulator). In order to discover the target genes of WatR, FLAG epitope tag was added to WatR of JHM80 strain and ChIP-seq was performed.

Project description:We report the genome changes associated with a Zymomonas mobilis sodium acetate-tolerant mutant (AcR). We used comparative genomics, transcriptomics, and genetics to show nhaA over-expression conferred sodium acetate (NaAc) tolerance in Z. mobilis. We observed a synergistic effect for sodium and acetate ions that enhanced toxicity against the wild-type strain (ZM4), which was not observed for similar concentrations of potassium and ammonium acetate under controlled laboratory conditions. We extended our studies and demonstrated that Saccharomyces cerevisiae sodium-proton antiporter genes contribute to NaAc tolerance for this important ethanologen. The application of classical and systems biology tools is a paradigm for industrial strain improvement and combines benefits of few a priori assumptions with detailed, rapid, mechanistic studies. Finally, our studies reinforce the idea that one obtains what one selects for in mutant screens and that a genetic system is important for industrial strain development.

Project description:Intracellular pH affects many cellular systems but its mechanisms of regulation and perception are mostly unknown. Weak organic acids such as acetate are potent fungistatic agents used in food preservation, but their intracellular targets are poorly understood. We thus searched for transcriptional response in Saccharomyces cerevisiae to intracellular acidification caused by two hours 30mM acetic acid treatment.

Project description:Background Lignocellulosic biomass is a promising renewable feedstock for biofuel production. Acetate is one of the major inhibitors liberated from hemicelluloses during hydrolysis. An understanding of the toxic effects of acetate on the fermentation microorganism and the efficient utilization of mixed sugars of glucose and xylose in the presence of hydrolysate inhibitors is crucial for economic biofuel production. Results A new microarray was designed including both coding sequences and intergenic regions to investigate the acetate stress responses of Zymomonas mobilis 8b when using single carbon sources of glucose or xylose, or mixed sugars of both glucose and xylose. With the supplementation of exogenous acetate, 8b can utilize all the glucose with a similar ethanol yield, although the growth, final biomass, and ethanol production rate were reduced. However, xylose utilization was inhibited in both media containing xylose or a mixed sugar of glucose and xylose, although the performance of 8b was better in mixed sugar than xylose-only media. The presence of acetate caused genes related to biosynthesis, the flagellar system, and glycolysis to be downregulated, and genes related to stress responses and energy metabolism to be upregulated. Unexpectedly, xylose seems to pose more stress on 8b, recruiting more genes for xylose utilization, than does acetate. Several gene candidates based on transcriptome results were selected for genetic manipulation, and a TonB-dependent receptor knockout mutant was confirmed to have a slight advantage regarding acetate tolerance. Conclusions Our results indicate Z. mobilis utilized a different mechanism for xylose utilization, with an even more severe impact on Z. mobilis than that caused by acetate treatment. Our study also suggests redox imbalance caused by stressful conditions may trigger a metabolic reaction leading to the accumulation of toxic intermediates such as xylitol, but Z. mobilis manages its carbon and energy metabolism through the control of individual reactions to mitigate the stressful conditions. We have thus provided extensive transcriptomic datasets and gained insights into the molecular responses of Z. mobilis to the inhibitor acetate when grown in different sugar sources, which will facilitate future metabolic modeling studies and strain improvement efforts for better xylose utilization and acetate tolerance.

Project description:The advent of M-bM-^@M-^XomicsM-bM-^@M-^Y techniques bear significant potential for the assessment of the microbiological stability of foods. This requires the integration of molecular data with their implication for cellular physiology. Here we performed a comparative physiological and transcriptional analysis of Bacillus subtilis stressed with three different weak organic acids: the commonly used food preservatives sorbic- and acetic- acid, plus the well-known uncoupler carbonyl cyanide-m-chlorophenyl hydrazone (CCCP). The concentration of each compound needed to cause a similar reduction of the growth rate negatively correlated with their membrane solubility, and positively with the concentration of undissociated acid. Intracellular acidification was demonstrated by expressing a pH-sensitive GFP derivative. The largest drop in intracellular pH was observed in CCCP-stressed cells and was accompanied by the transcriptional induction of the general stress response (GSR) and SigM regulon, responses known to be induced by acidification. The GSR was induced by acetate, but not by sorbate in mildly-stressed cells. Microarray analysis further revealed that all three acids activate transcriptional programs normally seen upon nutrient limitation and cause diverse responses indicative of an adaptation of the cell envelope. Based on the responses observed and the utilized pH measurements, the inhibitory effect of sorbic acid seems to be more focused on the cell membrane than that of acetic acid or CCCP. Time-series of B. subtilis response to 25 mM potassium acetate and 0.85 M-BM-5M CCCP during controlled growth in batch-fermentors in defined minimal medium (pH 6.4). Samples for microarrays were taken from both the treated and control cultures at 0, 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50 min after addition of acetate and CCCP. Two biologically independent experiments were performed.
