Simulated Microgravity Triggers a Membrane Adaptation to Stress in E. coli REL606

ABSTRACT: Investigating the evolution of Escherichia coli in microgravity offers valuable insights into microbial adaptation to extreme environments. Here the effects of simulated microgravity (SµG) on gene expression of E. coli REL606, a strain evolved terrestrially for 35 years is explored. We evaluated the transcriptomic changes for glucose-limited and glucose-replete conditions over 24 hours which illustrate that SµG increased the expression of stress response and cell membrane-related genes, particularly under glucose-limited conditions. A machine learning model predicted that glucose-limited SµG impacts the cellular membrane, while glucose-replete SµG also inhibits protein synthesis at stationary phase. These findings highlight the transcriptomic and physiological adaptations of E. coli to short term microgravity, offering a foundation for future research into the long-term effects of space conditions on bacterial evolution.

Effect of simulated microgravity on E. coli K12 MG1655 growth and gene expression

Project description:This study demonstrates simulated microgravity effects on E. coli K 12 MG1655 when grown on LB medium supplemented with glycerol. The results imply that E. coli readily reprograms itself to combat the multiple stresses imposed due to microgravity. Under these conditions it survives by upregulating oxidative stress protecting genes and simultaneously down regulating the membrane transporters and synthases to maintain cell homeostasis. In this study, a clinostat that mimics microgravity conditions was used to investigate the effects of microgravity on E. coli grown in LB medium supplemented with glycerol to monitor the effects on growth and global gene expression using Affymetrix DNA microarrays.

Response and adaptation to growth with low glucose concentration

Project description:The faecal indicator bacterium Escherichia coli K12 was used to study the cellular events that take place at the transcription level using the microarray technology during short-term (physiological) and long-term (genetic) adaptation to slow growth under limited nutrient supply. Short-term and long-term adaptation were assessed by comparing the mRNA levels isolated after 40 or 500 hours of glucose-limited continuous culture at a dilution rate of 0.3 h-1 with those from batch culture with glucose excess. Keywords: glucose-limited continuous culture, adaptation, microarray, high affinity transport systems, transcriptome, Escherichia coli

RNA-seq of Escherichia coli under fluctuating ammonia availability (limitation-depletion)

Project description:In large-scale production processes, metabolic control is typically achieved by limited supply of essential nutrients like glucose or ammonia. With increasing bioreactor dimensions, microbial producers such as Escherichia coli are exposed to changing substrate availabilities due to limited mixing. In turn, cells sense and respond to these dynamic conditions leading to frequent activation of their regulatory programs. Previously, we characterized short- and long-term strategies of cells to adapt to glucose fluctuations. Here, we focused on fluctuating ammonia supply, while studying a continuously running two-compartment bioreactor system comprising a stirred tank reactor (STR) and a plug flow reactor (PFR). Genes were repeatedly switched on/off when E. coli returned to the STR. Moreover, E. coli revealed highly diverging long-term transcriptional responses in ammonia compared to glucose fluctuations. The identification of target genes may help to create robust cells and processes for large-scale application.

RNA sequencing of zebrafish embryos under simulated microgravity conditions

Project description:To reveal the potential mechanisms involved in the dysfunction of antiviral immune responses under simulated microgravity conditions, we investigated the transcriptional changes related to the status of innate immune responses by RNA-seq with poly I:C or mock PBS treatment under Normal gravity or simulated microgravity conditions. Our results indicate that the retinoic acid inducible gene (RIG)-I-like receptor (RLR) and Toll-like receptor (TLR) signal pathways, which are both involved in the type-I interferon induction, are significantly inhibited by simulated microgravity effects.

Evolution of gene expression during long term coexistence in a bacterial evolution experiment

Project description:We used microarrays to study the evolution of gene expression in two bacterial ecotypes that coexisted for more than 35000 generations of experimental evolution in an extremely simple environment We sampled four clones from each of two lineages at generations 6,500, 17,000 and 40,000 from the polymorphic Ara-2 population of the E. coli long-term evolution experiment. The four clones from each lineage and generation were mixed equally and used for global expression profiling, growth assays and competition experiments. Global expression profiles and growth assays were also performed on the ancestral strain. RNA extractions were done using cells in mid-exponential growth in the same glucose-limited minimal medium used in the evolution experiment. Global expression profiles were obtained by using Affymetrix arrays, with 5 or 6 biological replicates for each lineage-generation sample.

Single Cell Analysis Identifies Conserved Features of Immune Dysfunction in Simulated Microgravity and Spaceflight [RNA-Seq]

Project description:Microgravity is associated with immunological dysfunction, though the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. Here, using single cell analysis of human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC)s exposed to short term (25 hours) simulated microgravity, we characterize altered genes and pathways across immune cells under basal and stimulated states with a Toll like Receptor-7/8 agonist. At basal state, simulated microgravity altered the transcriptional landscape across immune cells, with monocyte subsets showing most pathway changes. Remarkably, short term simulated microgravity was sufficient to increase endogenous retroviral and mycobacterial transcripts. Under stimulation in simulated microgravity, nearly all immune cells demonstrated differences in functional pathways. Results from single cell analysis were validated against additional PBMC samples, including by RNA sequencing and super-resolution microscopy, and against data from the Inspiration-4 (i4) mission, JAXA6 mission, Twins study, and spleens from mice housed on the international space station. Combined results show significant impacts of microgravity on pathways essential for optimal immunity, including the cytoskeleton, interferon signaling, pyroptosis, temperature-shock, nuclear receptors, IL-6 signaling, HIF1α, and sirtuin signaling. Using machine learning, we identified numerous compounds linking microgravity to immune cell transcription, and demonstrate that the flavonol, quercetin, can reverse most abnormal pathways. These results offer insight into maladaptation of the immune system in microgravity, and provide opportunities to develop countermeasures that maintain normal immunity in space.

Limnospira indica PCC8005 in simulated microgravity

Project description:Regenerative life support systems for space crews recycle organic and inorganic waste into water, food and oxygen using different organisms. For instance, the European Space Agency's MELiSSA uses Limnospira indica PCC8005 for air revitalisation and food production. Before use in space, the components' compatibility with reduced gravity must be tested. This innovative study introduces a novel ground analog designed specifically for microgravity experiments involving cyanobacteria, employing a cutting-edge random positioning machine (RPM). Limnospira indica PCC8005 was shown to grow slower under simulated microgravity and whole proteome analysis revealed a downregulation of e.g. ribosomal proteins, glutamine synthase and nitrate uptake transporters while an upregulation was found for gas vesicle proteins, carboxysome proteins and phycobiliproteins. All together our results suggested that L. indica experienced carbon limitation when cultivated in simulated microgravity conditions.
