Project description:Anaerobic digestion is a popular and effective microbial process for waste treatment. The performance of anaerobic digestion processes is contingent on the balance of the microbial food web in utilizing various substrates. Recently, co-digestion, i.e., supplementing the primary substrate with an organic-rich co-substrate has been exploited to improve waste treatment efficiency. Yet the potential effects of elevated organic loading on microbial functional gene community remains elusive. In this study, functional gene array (GeoChip 5.0) was used to assess the response of microbial community to the addition of poultry waste in anaerobic digesters treating dairy manure. Consistent with 16S rRNA gene sequences data, GeoChip data showed that microbial community compositions were significantly shifted in favor of copiotrophic populations by co-digestion, as taxa with higher rRNA gene copy number such as Bacilli were enriched. The acetoclastic methanogen Methanosarcina was also enriched, while Methanosaeta was unaltered but more abundant than Methanosarcina throughout the study period. The microbial functional diversity involved in anaerobic digestion were also increased under co-digestion.

Project description:Inhibition of the anaerobic digestion process through accumulation of volatile fatty acids (VFA) is a recurring problem which is the result of unbalanced growth between acidogenic bacteria and methanogens. A speedy recovery is essential for an establishment of a feasible economical biogas productions. Yet, little is known regarding the organisms participating in the recovery. In this study the organisms involved in the recovery were studied using protein-stable isotope probing (Protein-SIP) and mapping this data onto a binned metagenome. Under acetate-accumulated simulating conditions a formation of 13C-labeled CO2 and CH4 was detected immediately after the addition of [U-13C]acetate, indicative of a high turnover rate of acetate. Several labeled peptides were detected in protein-SIP analysis. These 13C-labeled peptides were mapped onto a binned metagenome for improved taxanomical classification of the organisms involved. The results revealed that Methanosarcina and Methanoculleus were actively involved in acetate turnover, as were five subspecies of Clostridia and one Bacteroidetes. The organisms affiliating with Clostridia and Bacteroidetes all contained the FTFHS gene for formyltetrahydrofolate synthetase, a key enzyme for reductive acetogenesis; indicating that these organisms are possible syntrophic acetate-oxidizing bacteria (SAOB) that can facilitate acetate consumption via syntrophic acetate oxidation coupled with hydrogenotrophic methanogenesis (SAO-HM). This study represents the first study applying protein-SIP for analysis of complex biogas samples, a promising method for identifying key microorganisms involved in specific pathways.

Project description:Meta-proteomics analysis approach in the application of biogas production from anaerobic digestion has many advantages that has not been fully uncovered yet. This study aims to investigate biogas production from a stable 2-stage chicken manure fermentation system in chemical and biological perspective. The diversity and functional protein changes from the 1st stage to 2nd stage is a good indication to expose the differential metabolic processes in anaerobic digestion. The highlight of identified functional proteins explain the causation of accumulated ammonia and carbon sources for methane production. Due to the ammonia stress and nutrient limitation, the hydrogenotrophic methanogenic pathway is adopted as indicative of meta-proteomics data involving the key methanogenic substrates (formate and acetate). Unlike traditional meta-genomic analysis, this study could provide both species names of microorganism and enzymes to directly point the generation pathway of methane and carbon dioxide in investigating biogas production of chicken manure.

Project description:Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae is an important porcine respiratory pathogen causing great economic losses in the pig industry worldwide. Oxygen deprivation is a stress that A. pleuropneumoniae will encounter during both early infection and the later, persistent stage. To understand modulation of A. pleuropneumoniae gene expression in response to the stress caused by anaerobic conditions, gene expression profiles under anaerobic and aerobic conditions were compared in this study. The microarray results showed that 631 genes (27.7% of the total ORFs) were differentially expressed in anaerobic conditions. Many genes encoding proteins involved in glycolysis, carbon source uptake systems, pyruvate metabolism, fermentation and the electron respiration transport chain were up-regulated. These changes led to an increased amount of pyruvate, lactate, ethanol and acetate in the bacterial cells as confirmed by metabolite detection. Genes encoding proteins involved in cell surface structures, especially biofilm formation, peptidoglycan biosynthesis and lipopolysaccharide biosynthesis were up-regulated as well. Biofilm formation was significantly enhanced under anaerobic conditions. These results indicate that induction of central metabolism is important for basic survival of A. pleuropneumoniae after a shift to an anaerobic environment. Enhanced biofilm formation may contribute to the persistence of this pathogen in the damaged anaerobic host tissue and also in the early colonization stage. These discoveries give new insights into adaptation mechanisms of A. pleuropneumoniae in response to environmental stress.

Project description:Previous findings have demonstrated that the NADH/NAD+ ratio has a strong impact on the glycolytic flux in C. glutamicum under anaerobic conditions in the absence of external electron acceptors. During an attempt to rewire anaerobic metabolism to achieve high yield formation of ethanol, we inactivated the malate dehydrogenase and lactate dehydrogenase in a C. glutamicum strain expressing pyruvate decarboxylase and alcohol dehydrogenase, to eliminate formation of the by-products succinate and lactate, respectively. This modification increased the yield of ethanol but had a negative effect on glycolysis, which we found to correlate with an elevated NADH/NAD+ ratio. The pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) of C. glutamicum is active under anaerobic conditions, and can potentially exacerbate the negative effect on glycolysis, due to NADH formation. To reduce PDH activity under anaerobic conditions, we decided to replace the gene encoding the E3 subunit of PDH with its Escherichia coli counterpart, as E. coli PDH has been reported to be functional under aerobic conditions only. The resultant strain JS133 produced far less acetate with a further increased ethanol production, however, the glycolytic flux was still low. After observing differences in glycolytic flux for JS133 on glucose and fructose, we speculated that the pentose phosphate pathway (PPP) might be involved in the reduced flux on glucose. To prove this, we deleted the zwf gene, encoding glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, which is the entry point into PPP, and immediately observed a stimulating effect on glycolysis. Subsequent characterization revealed a direct correlation between the intracellular NADH/NAD+ and NADPH/NADP+ ratios under anoxic conditions. Based on these findings we managed to re-channel the metabolism of C. glutamicum successfully towards either to ethanol or D-lactate with 92% and 98% of the theoretical yield respectively, which is the highest yields for D-lactate production thus far reported in the literature.
