Project description:We examined the differential gene expression of Staphylococcus epidermidis and Staphylococcus epidermidis in dual species biofilms. Therefore, we performed RNA-Seq on single and dual species biofilms and we compared the gene expression levels in dual species biofilms to those in single species biofilms.

Project description:The goals of this dual-seq experiment were to 1) identify transcriptional changes between mono-species and dual-species biofilms of Candida albicans and Pseudomonas aeruginosa and 2) identify transcriptional changes within mono- or dual-species P. aeruginosa biofilm cells in response to meropenem treatment.

Project description:Polymicrobial biofilms are of large medical importance, but little is known about their physiology and the underlying interspecies interactions. Here we studied two human pathogens, the opportunistic fungus Candida albicans and the caries promoting bacterium Streptococcus mutans. Both species formed biofilms in monoculture, with C. albicans growing mainly in the virulence-associated hyphae form, and S. mutans forming a thick layer of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS). Biofilm growth was enhanced in dual-species biofilms, which reached twice the biomass of monospecies biofilms and higher cell numbers of both S. mutans and C. albicans. EPS production by S. mutans was strongly suppressed in dual-species biofilms. Virulence traits of S. mutans, e.g. genetic competence, biofilm formation and bacteriocin synthesis are controlled by quorum sensing through activation of the alternative sigma factor SigX. SigX is induced by the pheromones CSP (competence stimulating factor) or XIP (sigX inducing peptide). Strong induction of sigX was observed in dual species biofilms indicated by fluorescence of a reporter strain for the sigX promoter, S. mutans PcomX-gfp, as well as by qRT-PCR of comX. The peak of sigX expression occurred after 10 h of biofilm growth. Conditioned media from mixed biofilms but not from C. albicans or S. mutans cultivated alone activated sigX in the reporter strain. Deletion mutants for the comC and comS genes encoding the precursors of CSP and XIP, respectively, were constructed. Conditioned media from mixed biofilms with S. mutans DcomS were unable to induce sigX in the reporter strain, while deletion of comC had no effect. These data show that synthesis of XIP was induced in S. mutans by coculture with C. albicans. Transcriptome analysis of S. mutans in single and mixed biofilms confirmed strong induction of comS, sigX, and the downstream late competence genes in dual-species biofilms. Among the late competence genes, fratricins were discovered for the first time. The comCDE operon and bacteriocin related genes were also induced, but much weaker. Genes related to oxidative stress, chaperones and glycosyltransferase genes required for EPS synthesis from sucrose were down-regulated, while glycogen synthesis genes were up-regulated, indicating that S. mutans was protected from oxidative stress and provided with excess sugar for storage polymer synthesis in mixed biofilms. The data show that in dual-species biofilms, C. albicans improves growth of S. mutans, suppresses its EPS formation and induces the complete quorum sensing signalling system, thus fundamentally changing the virulence properties of the caries pathogen, including its potential interactions with other members of the polymicrobial dental plaque community. Dual-species biofilms of S. mutans and C. albicans and single-species biofilms of S. mutans were cultivated in 24-well microtitre plates in YNBB medium. Transcriptional profiles of S. mutans in single- and dual-species biofilms were analysed at early (6 h) and late (10 h) logarithmic phase of the biofilm growth, as well as after 24 h when biofilms entered stationary phase. Transcriptional profiles of S. mutans grown in the dual-species biofilms were compared to profiles obtained for single-species biofilm from the same time point. Three biological and one to two technical replicas were used in the microarray study. RNA samples were labeled with Cy3 or Cy5 using the ULS fluorescent labeling kit (Kreatech, Germany). Seven hundred nanograms of Cy3 or Cy5 labeled RNA after fragmentation were hybridized to the microarray at 65M-BM-0C for 17 h using the Agilent hybridization chamber according to the manufacturer's instructions. The arrays were scanned using the Agilent DNA microarray scanner and the raw data were extracted using Agilent Feature Extraction software (v. 10.7).

Project description:Transcription profile of Escherichia coli cells in mono-species pure biofilms was compared to that of E. coli cells in E. coli-Stenotrophomonas maltophilia dual-species biofilms. E. coli cells were separated from dual-species biofilms before total RNA extraction to eliminate possible cross hybridization from S. maltophilia transcripts. The separation method was developed by combining the use of reagent RNAlater and immuno-magnetic separation. Pure E. coli biofilms were processed with the same separation protocol before RNA extraction.

Project description:We performed comparative analysis of transcriptomes of S. mutans in single biofilms and in mixed-biofilms with A. actinomycetemcomitans. We also compared the transcriptomic profiles of A. actinomycetemcomitans in single biofilms and A. actinomycetemcomitans in mixed biofilms with S. mutans. Finally we looked at the changes in gene expression in both organisms in time.

Project description:Bacterial cells in biofilms adopt a profoundly different phenotype than their planktonic counterparts. The Gram-negative bacteria Fusobacterium nucleatum and Porphyromonas gingivalis are pathogens associated with oral biofilm and periodontal disease. In this study, we identified and functionally characterized the proteome of F. nucleatum and P. gingivalis cells grown either as biofilms or in planktonic cultures by high-resolution liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. We used proteomic analysis for identification and label-free quantification of proteins, and sequence-based functional characterization for their classification. In F. nucleatum biofilm five proteins showed changes from planktonic condition, including proteins involved in vitamin B metabolic processes. Forty proteins were changed in P. gingivalis biofilm, 30 increased and 10 decreased. Putative cell division trigger factor and riboflavin biosynthesis proteins were the most increased in this biofilm. To describe interactions between the two species at the protein level, we grew the bacteria either individually or together. In the mixed species biofilm culture, 112 proteins showed significant changes, with 72 proteins derived from F. nucleatum and 40 proteins from P. gingivalis. By comparing dual-species to mono-species in biofilm and in planktonic growth conditions, P. gingivalis showed more proteins with decreased level in the dual species conditions.
