Project description:Previously, we performed DNA array-based transcriptomic analysis of Clostridium acetobutylicum biofilm adsorbed onto fibrous matrix in batch fermentation. Here, to further shed light on the transcriptomic modulation of maturing Clostridium acetobutylicum biofilm, we performed the DNA array-based transcriptomic analysis in repeated-batch fermentation. Significant time course changes in expression levels were observed for the genes involved in amino acid metabolism, oligopeptide ABC transporter, nitrogen fixation, and various other processes. Repeated-batch fermentation was carried out in 2-L stainless steel columns packed with 40 g of cotton towel ?cut into pieces?approximately 3 cm × 5 cm) containing 1.5 L of P2 medium. Medium circulation rate was maintained at 35 mL/min via a peristaltic pump and the temperature was controlled at 37°C. Fermentation broth was replaced with fresh P2 medium every 12 h. Samples were withdrawn at 6 h after the medium replacement at predetermined interval, except for the last 3 samples. The last 3 samples were withdrawn at 12 h, 15 h, and 17 h after the medium replacement, respectively, to study the transcriptomic response to the adverse condition at the end of fermentation. A total of 8 samples were withdrawn over a period of 7 days, and time course gene expression profiles were studied.

Project description:Listeria monocytogenes (Lm) cells can attach to both cantaloupe surface and food contact surfaces and promote biofilm growth. This study was to understand the impact of cantaloupe juice on the physiology and transcriptome of Lm planktonic cells and biofilm cells grown on stainless steel coupons using confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM), Cryo-Scanning Electron Microscopy (Cryo-SEM) and RNA Seq technology. Lm showed a strong autoaggregation phenotype when grown in cantaloupe juice at room temperature. It is interesting to note that Lm formed significantly more biofilms on stainless steel (SS) coupons when grown in cantaloupe juice than in TSB. SEM images revealed a different attachment profile of Lm on SS coupons. In TSB, Lm cells were mainly found in scratches/groves of the metal surface, whereas, in cantaloupe juice they attached to the smooth surface as well. Interestingly, Lm planktonic and biofilm cells in cantaloupe juice showed an elongated cell shape which might be a stress-induced phenotype in cantaloupe juice. Cantaloupe juice induced a distinct transcriptional profile of biofilm and planktonic cells of Lm from TSB. Functional annotation indicated that the significantly differentially expressed genes (DEGs, Padj < 0.05, log2foldchange ≥ 1) from the comparison mainly participated in metabolism, signaling and stress response. Notably, certain pathways downregulated for planktonic cells were significantly upregulated for biofilm cells in cantaloupe juice compared to TSB, including ABC transporters, two-component system, quorum sensing, chemotaxis, and flagellar assembly. These data highlighted the interaction of Lm with food matrix (i.e., cantaloupe) and the role of food matrix on Lm survival and adaptation. These results provided the basis for future functional characterization of genes with potential roles in biofilm formation and persistence of Lm in cantaloupe juice, as well as for development of mitigation practices for Lm biofilms on produce and food contact surfaces.

Project description:Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a pathogenic micro-organism responsible for many hospital-acquired infections. It is able to adhere to solid surfaces and develop an immobilised community or so-called biofilm. Many studies have been focusing on the use of specific materials to prevent the formation of these biofilms, but the reactivity of the bacteria in contact to surfaces remains unknown. In order to evaluate the impact of different materials on the physiology of Pseudomonas aeruginosa during the first stage of biofilm formation, i.e. adhesion, we investigated the total proteome of cells adhering to three materials: stainless steel, glass and polystyrene. Using tandem mass spectrometry performed at the PAPPSO proteomic platform, 930 proteins were identified, 70 of which were differentially expressed between the materials. Dysregulated proteins belonged to 19 PseudoCAP (Pseudomonas Community Annotation Project) functional classes, with a particular abundance of proteins involved in small molecule transport and membrane proteins. Notably, ten porins or porin precursors were under-produced in bacteria adhering to stainless steel when compared to those adhering to polystyrene and glass. Although adhesion to solid surfaces is an extracellular phenomenon, it involves not only extracellular proteins but also intracellular reactions, as observed with the dysregulation of 11 proteins involved in various metabolisms and five in protein translation. Overall, this work showed that during bacterial adhesion, P. aeruginosa senses the materials concerned and is able to modulate its physiology accordingly.

Project description:Prolific heterotrophic biofilm growth is a common occurrence in airport receiving streams containing deicer and anti-icer runoff. This study investigated relations of heterotrophic biofilm prevalence and community composition to environmental conditions at stream sites upstream and downstream of Milwaukee Mitchell International Airport in Milwaukee, WI, during two deicing seasons (2009–2010 and 2010–2011). Modern genetic tools (such as microarray) have not previously been applied to biofilm communities in this type of setting. We used microarray results to characterize biofilm community composition as well as the response of the biofilm community to environmental factors (i.e., organic content (using chemical oxygen demand concentration) and temperature).

Project description:Microbial biofilms are omnipresent and implicated in a wide spectrum of areas ranging from bioremediation, food production and biomedical applications. To date little is understood about how biofilm communities develop and function on a molecular level, due to the complexity of these biological systems. Here we ap-ply a meta-proteomics approach to investigate the mechanism driving biofilm formation in a microbial model consortium of four bacterial soil isolates of Steno-trophomonas rhizophila, Xanthomonas retroflexus, Microbacterium oxydans and Paeni-bacillus amylolyticus. The protein abundances between community and the single species biofilms were compared to describe how different metabolic pathways were influenced by inter-species interactions. Our results indicate that community development is dependent on interactions between community members facilitat-ing surface attachment and cross-feeding on specific amino acids. Opposite regu-lation patterns of fermentation and nitrogen pathways in Paenibacillus amylolyticus and Xanthomonas retroflexus may, however, also indicate that competition for lim-ited resources affects community development. Overall our results demonstrate the multitude of pathways characterizing biofilm formation in mixed communities. In order to obtain full taxonomic resolution between closely related species and empower correct protein quantification, we developed a novel pipeline for removing peptide sequences shared between community members from the ref-erence proteomes used for spectral database searches. This pipeline can readily be applied to other microbial communities.

Project description:Emerging antibiotic resistance among clinically relevant bacteria, paired with their ability to form biofilms on medical and technical devices, represents a serious problem in terms of effective and long-term decontamination in health care environments and gives rise to an urgent need for new antimicrobial materials. Here we present the first study of the impact of AGXX®, a novel broad-spectrum antimicrobial surface coating consisting of micro galvanic elements formed by silver and ruthenium, on the transcriptome of the nosocomial pathogen Enterococcus faecalis. E. faecalis was subjected to metal stress by growing it for different periods of time in the presence of AGXX® or silver-coated steel meshes. Subsequently, total RNA was isolated and next-generation RNA sequencing was performed to analyze variations in gene expression levels in the presence of the antimicrobial materials with focus on known stress genes. Exposure to AGXX® had a large impact on the transcriptome of E. faecalis. After 24 minutes almost 1/5 of the E. faecalis genome displayed differential expression. At each time-point the cop operon was strongly up-regulated, providing indirect evidence for the presence of free Ag+-ions. Moreover, exposure to AGXX® induced a broad general stress response in E. faecalis. Genes coding for the chaperones GroEL and GroES as well as the Clp proteases ClpE and ClpB were among the top up-regulated heat shock genes. Furthermore, differential expression of genes coding for thioredoxin, superoxide dismutase and glutathione synthetase indicates a high level of oxidative stress. We postulate a mechanism of action where the combination of Ag+-ions and reactive oxygen species generated by AGXX® results in a synergistic antimicrobial effect, which is superior to that of conventional silver coatings. Gene expression analysis of Enterococcus faecalis 12030 either subjected to metal stress by exposure to an antimicrobial AGXX®- or Ag-coated V2A steel mesh or exposed to an uncoated V2A steel mesh or left untreated performing RNA Sequencing with an Ion ProtonTM Sequencer and subsequent data analysis with a T-REx RNA-Sequencing expression analysis pipeline.
