Metabolomic adaptation of a deep sea Microbacterium sediminis to prolonged low temperature under high pressure

ABSTRACT: Low temperature is the most wide-spread “hostile” environmental factor on earth while at the same time the most common condition for marine organisms. However, the unique adaptive mechanisms that enable the survival of marine microorganisms under low temperature are unclear. Since low temperature is always accompanied by high pressure and other adverse conditions in marine environment, here we studied the metabolic adaptation of a marine strain to prolonged low temperature under high pressure. The strain studied is a psychrotolerant Microbacterium sediminis isolated from deep sea sediment. By using 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)-based metabolomics approach, we detected the spectral data of polar extracts of the strain M. sediminis, and applied multivariate statistical analysis methods together with univariate analysis to analyze metabolic profiles associated to different conditions. The metabolic profiles of the M. sediminis strain cultivated under high pressure at low temperature were distinctly different from those cultivated under high pressure at normal temperature. We identified the differential metabolites which were responsible for distinguishing the metabolic profiles and compared their relative intensities between groups. We also compared the different adaptive responses of the strain at different growth stages to the prolonged low temperature under high pressure. We proposed that the low-temperature adapting process of the M. sediminis strain involves, 1) the regulation of osmotic pressure using amino acids as possible alternative osmolytes, and, 2) the strengthen of glycolysis and the maintenance of TCA cycle via amino acids anaplerotic reaction. We put forward that the main difference of adaptation to low temperature for the strain at different growth stages was related to energy metabolism. Our findings improved the understanding of the low-temperature adaptive mechanisms for marine microorganisms under high pressure on the metabolic level.

Project description:Second fermentation in a bottle supposes such specific conditions that undergo yeasts to a set of stress situations like high ethanol, low nitrogen, low pH or sub-optimal temperature. Also, yeast have to grow until 1 or 2 generations and ferment all sugar available while they resist increasing CO2 pressure produced along with fermentation. Because of this, yeast for second fermentation must be selected depending on different technological criteria such as resistance to ethanol, pressure, high flocculation capacity, and good autolytic and foaming properties. All of these stress factors appear sequentially or simultaneously, and their superposition could amplify their inhibitory effects over yeast growth. Considering all of the above, it has supposed interesting to characterize the adaptive response of commercial yeast strain EC1118 during second-fermentation experiments under oenological/industrial conditions by transcriptomic profiling. We have pointed ethanol as the most relevant environmental condition in the induction of genes involved in respiratory metabolism, oxidative stress, autophagy, vacuolar and peroxisomal function, after comparison between time-course transcriptomic analysis in alcoholic fermentation and transcriptomic profiling in second fermentation. Other examples of parallelism include overexpression of cellular homeostasis and sugar metabolism genes. Finally, this study brings out the role of low-temperature on yeast physiology during second-fermentation. S. cerevisiae EC1118 pre-adapted to ethanol cells and sucrose (20 g/L) were added to 20 L of base wine (Cavas Freixenet, Sant Sadurní D’Anoia, Spain). Complete volume was bottled with 350 mL each one. All were sealed and incubated in static conditions at 16ºC for approximately 40 days after tirage. Three samples were taken during the process for transcriptional study of the physiological adaptation of yeast cells to industrial second fermentation conditions. A sample corresponding to exponential-growth phase under unstressed conditions (in YPD at 28ºC) was used as an external reference. Three timepoints from second-fermentation were monitored and three biological replicates from each timepoint were analyzed.
