Response of Prochlorococcus to varying CO2:O2 ratios

ABSTRACT: Carbon fixation plays a central role in determining cellular redox poise, increasingly understood to be a key parameter in cyanobacterial physiology. In the cyanobacterium Prochlorococcus--—the most abundant phototroph in the oligotrophic oceans--—the carbon-concentrating mechanism (CCM) is reduced to the bare essentials. Given the ability of Prochlorococcus populations to grow under a wide range of oxygen concentrations in the ocean, we wondered how carbon and oxygen physiology intersect in this minimal phototroph. We monitored genome-wide transcription in cells shocked with acute limitation of CO2, O2, or both. O2 limitation produced much smaller transcriptional changes than the broad suppression seen under CO2 limitation and CO2/O2 co-limitation. Strikingly, the transcriptional responses evoked by both CO2 limitation conditions were initially similar to that previously seen in high light stress, but at later timepoints we observed O2-dependent recovery of photosynthesis-related transcripts. These results suggest that oxygen plays a protective role in Prochlorococcus when carbon fixation is not a sufficient sink for light energy.

Synechococcus sp. (PCC 7002) analysis by LC-MS/MS

Project description:Cyanobacteria fix atmospheric CO2 to biomass and through metabolic engineering can also act as photosynthetic cell factories for sustainable productions of fuels and chemicals. The Calvin cycle is the primary pathway for CO2 fixation in cyanobacteria, algae and C3 plants, and several studies have shown that overexpression of a cyanobacterial Calvin cycle enzyme, bifunctional sedoheptulose-1,7-bisphosphatase/fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase (hereafter BiBPase), enhances CO2 fixation in both plants and algae, although its impact on cyanobacteria has not yet been rigorously studied. Here, we show that overexpression of BiBPase enhanced growth, cell size, and photosynthetic O2 evolution of the cyanobacterium Synechococcus sp. PCC 7002 in an environment with elevated CO2 concentration. Biochemical analysis, immunodetection, and proteomic analysis revealed that overexpression of BiBPase considerably elevated the cellular activities of two rate-limiting enzymes in the Calvin cycle, namely ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (RuBisCO) and aldolase, while it repressed several enzymes involved in the respiratory carbon metabolism (e.g. glycolysis and the oxidative pentose phosphate pathway) including glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase. Concomitantly, the content of glycogen was significantly reduced while the extracellular carbohydrate content increased. These results indicate that overexpression of BiBPase leads to global reprogramming of carbon metabolism in Synechococcus sp. PCC 7002, promoting photosynthetic carbon fixation and repressing the respiratory carbon catabolism, while altering carbohydrate partitioning.

Co-existence of CBB cycle and rTCA carbon fixation pathway in thermophilic Actinomycetota Carbonactinospora thermoautotrophica StC and correlation with the CO2-concentrating microcompartment

Project description:Seven carbon autotrophic fixation pathways were described so far. However, it is not common to find the co-existence of more than one cycle in a single cell. Here, we describe a thermophilic bacterium Carbonactinospora thermoautotrophica StC with a unique and versatile carbon metabolism. StC was isolated from a consortium found in a burning organic pile that exhibits an optimal growth temperature between 55° and 65° C. The genome analyses suggested that the strain StC potentially performs two-carbon fixation pathways, Calvin-Benson-Bassham (CBB) cycle and the Reductive citrate cycle (rTCA) and preserve a microcompartment related with CO2 concentration. To better understand the carbon fixation in StC strain, the expression of the genes of bacterial cells grown autotrophically and heterotrophically were analyzed. For our surprise the data showed the co-existing of the both carbon fixation pathways - CBB and rTCA cycles - in a cultivable thermophilic chemoautotrophic bacterium Carbonactinospora thermoautotrophica strain StC, based on integrated omics of genomics, transcriptomics, and proteomics. These two cycles working together may help microorganisms to improve the CO2 fixation. The knowledge about the co-occurrence of carbon cycle in a single cell leads open a question ‘why microorganisms use multiple pathways to fix carbon and what the advantage for this strategy?’. Advancing on this is a key to better understand the biological carbon fixation mechanism in thermophiles and prospecting the repurposing of enzymes in synthetic biology for biotechnological applications.

Enhanced Chloroplast-Mitochondria Crosstalk Promotes Ambient Algal-H2 Production

Project description:Microalgae are natural biocatalysts of Hydrogen. Their ability to convert solar energy to valuable compounds with minimal ecological footprint potentially puts them as significant contributors to clean energy transition. Currently, this process, although promising, is not scalable because it is limited to oxygen-free conditions and is short-lived due to electron loss to other processes, mainly carbon fixation. Here we show that a strain, defected in thylakoid proton gradient regulation, ∆pgr5, bypasses both challenges simultaneously, leading to a prolonged 12-day hydrogen production under ambient mixotrophic conditions in a one-liter set-up. We report that ∆pgr5 possess a repressed ability to fixate carbon and this limitation is counterbalanced by an enhanced chloroplast-mitochondrion energetic exchange. This unique physiology supported the simplistic, yet robust and scalable hydrogen production capability of ∆pgr5.

Metabolic versatility of the nitrite-oxidizing bacterium Nitrospira marina and its proteomic response to oxygen-limited conditions

Project description:In this study, we investigated the metabolic potential of N. marina based on its complete genome sequence and performed physiological experiments to test genome-derived hypotheses. Our data confirm that N. marina benefits from additions of undefined organic carbon substrates, has adaptations to resist oxidative, osmotic and UV light-induced stress and low dissolved pCO2. Additionally, N. marina is able to grow chemoorganotrophically on formate, and is thus not an obligate chemolithoautotroph. We further investigated the metabolic response of N. marina to low (5.6 µM) O2 concentrations. In response to O2-limited conditions, the abundance of a potentially more efficient CO2-fixing pyruvate:ferredoxin oxidoreductase (POR) complex and a high-affinity cbb3-type terminal oxidase increased, suggesting a role in sustaining nitrite oxidation-driven autotrophy under O2 limitation.

Impact of a heterotroph, Alteromonas MIT1002, on the transcriptome of Prochlorococcus NATL2A

Project description:We examine how the transcriptome of Prochlorococcus strain NATL2A changes in the presence of a naturally co-occurring heterotroph, Alteromonas macleodii MIT1002. Significant changes in the Prochlorococcus transcriptome were evident within six hours of co-culture, with groups of transcripts changing in different temporal waves. Many transcriptional changes persisted throughout the 48-hour experiment, indicating that the presence of the heterotroph affected a stable shift in Prochlorococcus physiology. These initial transcriptome changes largely correspond to reduced stress conditions within Prochlorococcus, as inferred from decreases in relative abundance for transcripts encoding DNA repair enzymes and many members of the âhigh-light inducibleâ family of stress response proteins. Notable changes were also seen in transcripts encoding components of the photosynthetic apparatus (particularly an increase in PSI subunits and chlorophyll synthesis enzymes), ribosomal proteins and biosynthetic enzymes. Changes in secretion-related proteins and transporters also highlight the potential for metabolic exchange between the two strains. At each of 7 timepoints, samples from 3 biological replicate co-cultures are compared to 3 biological replicate axenic Prochlorococcus cultures that serve as a control.

Emergence of metabolic coupling to the heterotroph Alteromonas promotes dark survival in Prochlorococcus

Project description:Prochlorococcus is found throughout the euphotic zone in the oligotrophic open ocean. Deep mixing and sinking in aggregates or while attached to particles can, however, transport cells below this sunlit zone, depriving them of light for extended periods of time and influencing their circulation via ocean currents. Viability of these cells over extended periods of darkness could shape the ecology and evolution of the Prochlorococcus collective. We have shown that when co-cultured with a heterotrophic microbe and subjected to repeated periods of extended darkness, Prochlorococcus cells develop a heritable dark-tolerant phenotype – through an apparent epigenetic mechanism – such that they survive longer periods of darkness. Here we examine this adaptation at the level of physiology and metabolism in co-cultures of dark-tolerant and parent strains of Prochlorococcus, each grown with the heterotroph Alteromonas under diel light:dark conditions. The relative abundance of Alteromonas is higher in dark-tolerant than parental co-cultures, while dark tolerant Prochlorococcus cells are also larger, contain less chlorophyll, and are less synchronized to the light:dark cycle. Meta-transcriptome analysis of the cultures further suggests that dark-tolerant co-cultures undergo a coupled shift in which Prochlorococcus uses more organic carbon and less photosynthesis, and Alteromonas uses more organic acids and fewer sugars. Collectively, the data suggest that dark adaptation involves a loosening of the coupling between Prochlorococcus metabolism and the light:dark cycle and a strengthening of the coupling between the carbon metabolism of Prochlorococcus and Alteromonas.
