Project description:This study examines the transcriptomic response of biofilms of the PAH-degrading Sphingomonas sp. LH128 on solute stress when actively degrading and growing on the PAH compound. To address the effect of solute stress on bacterial physiology and transcriptomic response, NaCl was used as osmolyte. Both acute and chronic solute stress was invoked to assess differences in short-term and long-term responses. Transcriptomic response of phenanthrene degrading Sphingomonas sp. LH128 biofilms as a response to short-term and long-term solute (NaCl) stress was studied using genome-wide gene expression analysis. For this purpose, the strain was grown in customized continuous glass flow chambers that contain solid phenanthrene as a sole carbon source and that allow easy recovery of biofilm cells for transcriptomic and physiological analysis. A NaCl stress of 450 mM was imposed on LH128 biofilms growing on phenanthrene crystals coated on glass slides either for 4 hours (acute stress) or for 3 days (chronic stress). RNA was extracted from the biofilm and cDNA was synthesized and labeled with Cy3. Transcriptomic response in the stressed biofilms of three replicates per conditions were analyzed and compared with non-stressed

Project description:The survival, pollutant degradation activity and transcriptome response was monitored in Sphingomonas sp. LH128 inoculated into soil. Cultivable cell numbers were determined by plating, while phenanthrene degradation was monitored by HPLC. The genetic base for the adaptive strategy of LH128 in soil was investigated by using microarray consisting 7,200 gene-coding ORFs. During 4 hours of incubation, 510 genes were differentially expressed (317 increased and 193 reduced expression) while 610 genes were differentially expressed (318 increased and 292 reduced) after 10 days of incubation. Genes with increased expression comprised of gene encoding PAH catabolic enzymes, stress resistance, oxidative stress tolerance, outer membrane proteins/porins and efflux pump proteins while the downregulated genes comprised of genes encoding flagellar biosynthesis, ribosomal proteins and ATPase. Transcriptomic response of phenanthrene degrading Sphingomonas sp. LH128 inoculated into phenanthrene contaminated soil after 4h and after 10 days of incubation was studied using genome-wide gene expression analysis. For this purpose, the strain was pregrown in minimal medium and inoculated at appropriated celld densitites. RNA was extracted both from soil and and from initial inoculum and cDNA was synthesized and labeled with Cy3. Transcriptomic response in soil of three replicates per conditions after both incubation duration were analyzed and compared with the initial inoculum

Project description:This study examines genome-wide expression of the phenanthrene-degrading Sphingomonas sp. LH128 as a response to long-term starvation stress. For this purpose, the strain was subjected to complete nutrient starvation for 6 months after growth on a rich medium. Survival was monitored by plating, physiological response was examined by flow cytometry and FAME analysis, and this response was related to transcriptomic response as determined by whole-genome microarray analysis. The data showed that decreased gene functions involved in ribosomal proteins biosynthesis, decreased chromosomal replication, increased gene functions involved in stringent regulation of gene expression, increased gene functions involved in genetic exchange and recombination, increased efflux systems, increased degradation of rRNA, and increased M-NM-2-oxidation of fatty acids to access stored nutrients. Genes involved in PAH degradations appears to be with decreased expression. Transcriptomic response of phenanthrene degrading Sphingomonas sp. LH128 starved for 6 month in isotonic solution of 0.01 mM MgS04 was studied using genome-wide gene expression analysis. For this purpose, the strain was pregrown in minimal medium to an OD600 of 0.5, washed twice with 0.01 mM MgS04 and resuspended in the same solution to an OD of 0.5. RNA was extracted both from starved cells and from the initial culture (non-starved cells) and cDNA was synthesized and labeled with Cy3. Transcriptomic response of three replicates were analyzed and compared with the initial inoculum

Project description:Spingomonas wittichii strain RW1 can completely oxidize dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans, which are persistent contaminants of soils and sediments. For successful application in soil bioremediation systems, strain RW1 must cope with fluctuations in water availability, or water potential. The objectives of this study were to characterize how strain RW1 responses to changes in different components of the total water potential (solute and matric potential) and to then connect these responses to more realistic scenarios of soil desiccation. To accomplish this task, transcriptome profiling was used to investigate the effects of decreasing the solute potential with sodium chloride (solute stress), decreasing the matric potential with high-molecular weight polyethylene glycol (matric stress), or inoculating cells directly into unsaturated sand (sand desiccation stress). Transcriptome profiling revealed a general response to solute, matric, and sand desiccation stress that involved synthesizing trehalose and modifying the composition of exopolysaccarides. Transcriptome profiling also revealed responses that were unique to each stress. Only solute and matric stress triggered the down-regulation of flagella genes. Only solute and sand desiccation stress triggered the up-regulation of two RNA polymerase ECF-type sigma factors along with several membrane proteins, mechanosensitive channels, and solute transporters. Finally, only matric stress triggered the up-regulation of the RNA polymerase sigma-32 factor along with several molecular chaperones. Together, this study revealed a general response to solute, matric and sand desiccation stress but also unique responses to only a subset of these stresses, suggesting that each stress affects strain RW1 in a fundamentally different way. Comparative transcriptome profiling was performed to assess the effects of acute (30 min) solute and matric stress (3 samples for acute solute stress, 3 samples for acute matric stress, 3 controls), the effects of chronic (24 hours) solute and matric stress (3 samples for chronic solute stress, 3 samples for chronic matric stress, 3 controls), and the effects of sand desiccation stress (4 samples for sand desiccation treatment, 3 controls).

Project description:Thiabendazole (TBZ), a benzimidazole used against postharvest fungal growth and as anthelmintic in livestock farming, is highly persistent in soil (DT50> 1-2 years) and therefore challenging concerning its environmental management. In our recent copious attempts to isolate organisms that degrade TBZ, at best, we ended up with a soil microbial enrichment capable of accelerated TBZ degradation. Here, we employed a multi-omic approach combined with DNA stable isotope probing (SIP) for elucidating the underlying system complexity. We obtained 18 high-quality metagenome-assembled genomes, with six being dominant and versatile concerning their putative xenobiotics degradation ability. SIP combined with microbiome analysis verified our previous results about the key role of a Sphingomonas strain in TBZ degradation. Next to this, metabolomics suggested minimal/no cross-feeding events, and Sphingomonas being the sole TBZ degrader. RNA sequencing and proteomics analysis of the consortium using TBZ or succinate as sole carbon sources showed the enhanced expression in Sphingomonas of a carbazole dioxygenase locus with putative role in the TBZ degradation. Gene expression networking analysis suggested the interaction of Sphingomonas with a Hydrogenophaga strain that possibly contributes to the overall cobalamin balance. Our study depicts the need for integrated omic approaches for understanding complex interactions frequently occurring in bioremediation.
