E. coli cells: Control vs. iron-supplemented P. aeruginosa spent-media treated

ABSTRACT: Transcriptional profiling of E. coli cells comparing control untreated cells with cells treated with iron-supplemented P. aeruginosa spent media. The goal was to identify the effects of P. aeruginosa spent media on E. coli cells, while neutralizing any effects of the P. aeruginosa siderophores

Project description:Transcriptional profiles of Escherichia coli MG1655 in mixed culture with Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 showed a number of E. coli genes to be upregulated including purA-F and other genes associated with purine synthesis. In contrast, genes associated with pyrimidine synthesis were unaffected. Competition experiments in both planktonic and biofilm cultures, using three purine synthesis mutants, purD, purH, and purT showed little difference in E. coli survival from the parent strain. As purines are components of the cell signals, cAMP and c-di-GMP, we conducted competition experiments with E. coli mutants lacking adenylate cyclase (cyaA), cAMP phosphodiesterase (cpdA), and the catabolite receptor protein (crp), as well as ydeH, an uncharacterized gene that has been associated with c-di-GMP synthesis. Survival of the cyaA and crp mutants during co-culture were significantly less than the parent strain. Supplementation of the media with 1mM cAMP could restore survival of the cyaA mutant but not the crp mutant. In contrast, survival of the cpdA mutant was similar to the parent strain. Survival of the ydeH mutant was moderately less than the parent, suggesting that cAMP has more impact on E. coli mixed culture growth than c-di-GMP. Addition of 1 mM indole restored the survival of both the cyaA and crp mutations. Mutants in genes for tryptophan synthesis (trpE) and indole production (tnaA) showed a loss of competition and recovery through indole supplementation, comparable to the cyaA and crp mutants. Overall, these results suggest indole and cAMP as major contributing factors to E. coli growth in mixed culture. E. coli MG1655 and P. aeruginosa PAO1 were grown in a minimal defined medium containing N-acetyl glucosamine, overnight at 37C to an OD of 1.5, and then inoculated in fresh media at an OD of 0.001 and grown in pure or mixed culture for 4-5 hours to a final OD of 0.5. RNA was extracted, purified, reverse transcribed to cDNA and then analyzed on E. coli and P. aeruginosa chips from Affymetrix. Expression profiles of mixed culture-grown organisms were compared to pure culture E. coli and P. aeruginosa grown on the same defined medium.
