Project description:Autotrophic conversion of CO2 to value-added biochemicals has received considerable attention for the sustainable route to replace the fossil fuels. Particularly, anaerobic acetogenic bacteria are naturally capable of reducing CO2 or CO to various metabolites. To fully utilize their biosynthetic potential, systemic understanding of the metabolic network with the transcriptional and translational regulation of the corresponding genes is highly demanded. Here, we complete a genome sequence of Eubacterium limosum ATCC8466 in a circular form of 4.4 Mb, followed by integrating genome-scale measurements of its transcriptome and translatome. Interestingly, the transcriptionally abundant genes encoding the Wood-Ljungdahl pathway were regulated at translational level with decreased translation efficiency (TE). To understand the regulation, the primary transcriptome was augmented, which determined 1,458 transcription start sites (TSS) and 1,253 5’-untranslated regions (5′UTR). The data supports that under the autotrophic condition the TE of genes for the Wood-Ljungdahl pathway and the energy conservation system were regulated by 5′UTR secondary structure. In addition, it was illustrated that the strain reallocates protein synthesis and energy economically, focusing more on translation of energy conservation system rather than on carbon metabolism under autotrophic growth. Thus, our results provide potential route for strain engineering to enhance syngas fermenting capacity.

Project description:Some acetogenic bacteria, such as Eubacterium limosum, have the native ability to consume liquid C1 feedstocks, such as formate and methanol, as the sole substrate for growth. Due to high energy efficiency, and compatibility with existing infrastructure, this has sparked interest in the biotechnology industry. Previously, we reported limitations of this metabolism in batch fermentation. Here we undertook chemostat differential analysis to highlight key features and bottlenecks of metabolism. Our work serves as a reference dataset to advance understanding of liquid C1 metabolism in acetogens.

Project description:Clostridium ljungdahlii not only utilizes CO, but also H2 as energy source during autotrophic growth. And C. ljungdahlii also grows in fructose fermentation. In theory, fructose is a more energetically favourable energy source than syngas in the fermentation of C. ljungdahlii. However, C. ljungdahlii grows insufficiently in fructose and produces less acetate and ethanol, compared to syngas fermentation. In this study, C. ljungdahlii wild type and mutants were fermented on fructose. C. ljungdahlii produced less ethanol than the ΔadhE1 mutant and consumed less fructose. The ΔadhE1+2 mutant cannot grow in the syngas fermentation and produced less ethanol among the three strains. The results showed that aldehyde dehydrogenase inactivation led to efficient metabolism in C. ljungdahlii and the bifunctional aldehyde/alcohol dehydrogenases inactivation led to decrease metabolism. Thus, comparative transcriptomes among cells grown on fructose of three strains were performed to investigate gene expression profiles based on three biological replicates.

Project description:Acetate is a simple carboxylic acid that is synthesized in various microorganisms. Although acetate toxicity and tolerance have been studied in many microorganisms, little is known about the effects of exogenous acetate on the cell growth of acetogenic bacteria. In this study, we report the phenotypic changes that occurred in the acetogenic bacterium Clostridium sp. AWRP as a result of an adaptive laboratory evolution under acetate challenge. When compared with the wild-type strain, the acetate-adapted strain displayed a tolerance to acetate up to 10 g L-1 and higher biomass yields in batch cultures, although the metabolite profiles greatly varied depending on culture conditions. Interestingly, genome sequencing revealed that the adapted strain harbored three point mutations in the genes encoding an electron-bifurcating hydrogenase, which is crucial to its autotrophic growth on CO2 + H2, in addition to one in the dnaK gene. Transcriptome analysis revealed the global change in the gene expression profile of the acetate-adapted strain. Strikingly, most genes involved in CO2-fixing Wood-Ljungdahl pathway and auxiliary pathways for energy conservation (e.g., Rnf complex, Nfn, etc.) were significantly down-regulated. In addition, we observed that a couple of metabolic pathways associated with dissimilation of nucleosides and carbohydrates were significantly up-regulated in the acetate-adapted strain as well as several amino acid biosynthetic pathways, indicating that the strain might increase its fitness by utilizing organic substrates in response to the down-regulation of carbon fixation. Further investigation into the carbon fixation degeneration of the acetate-adapted strain will provide practical implications in CO2 + H2 fermentation using acetogenic bacteria for long-term continuous fermentation. The transcriptome profiles of the wild-type Clostridium sp. AWRP and its acetate-tolerant derivative 46T-a were compared.

Project description:Proline betaine, and to a much lesser extent, N-methyl L-proline, are found in citrus fruits and often present in the human metabolome. However, most of the N-methyl L-proline found in an animal model metabolome is produced by the microbiota, yet organisms and enzymes capable of producing N-methyl proline in the anoxic intestine have been unknown. The anaerobe Eubacterium limosum ATCC 8486 makes acetate and butyrate from various substrates and is found in the human intestine. We found that this organism demethylates proline betaine and excretes N-methyl proline during growth. The proteome of proline betaine-grown Eubacterium limosum was obtained in order to identify enzymes required for growth on proline, in particular to identify components that are unique to growth on proline in comparison to other substrates for acetogenesis, such as lactic acid. Comparison of the proteomes of the bacteria on proline betaine and lactic acid led to identification of the proteins involved in a proline betaine:tetrahydrofolate methyltransferase system which was biochemically verified. The key proline betaine demethylating enzyme is a member of the widespread TMA methyltransferase protein superfamily.
