Project description:Bioelectrochemical systems employing mixed microbial communities as biocatalysts are gaining importance as potential renewable energy, bioremediation, or biosensing devices. While we are beginning to understand how individual microorganism species interact with an electrode as electron donor, not much is known about the interactions between different microbial species in a community. Here, we compare the bioelectrochemical performance of Shewanella oneidensis in a pure-culture and in a co-culture with the homolactic acid fermenter Lactococcus lactis. While S. oneidensis alone can only use lactate as electron donor for current production, the co-culture is able to convert glucose into current with a similar coulombic efficiency of approximately 17%, respectively. With (electro)-chemical analysis and transcription profiling, we found that the BES performance and S. oneidensis physiology were not significantly different whether grown as a pure- or co-culture. These co-culture experiments represent a first step in understanding microbial interactions in BES communities with the goal to design complex microbial communities, which specifically convert target substrates into electricity. Further, for the first time, we elucidated S. oneidensis gene expression with an electrode as the only electron acceptor. The expression pattern confirms many previous studies regarding the enzymatic requirements for electrode respiration, and it generates new hypotheses on the functions of proteins, which are so far not known to be involved in electrode respiration.

Project description:The syntrophic growth of strain 195 with Desulfovibrio vulgaris Hildenborough (DVH) and/or Methanobacterium congolense (MC) enhanced TCE dechlorination process by faster dechlorination rate and more robust growth. Transcriptomes of strain 195 grown in isolation, co- and tri-cultures were obtained by microarray experiments to find out the differential expressed genes corresponding to the syntrophic growth. Thus we can better understand the role of DVH and MC within this syntrophy. [Transcriptomic analysis]: Cells of pure strain 195 culture, co-culture and tri-culture were collected at the early exponential phase during TCE dechlorination process for RNA extraction, cDNA synthesis, fragmentation, labelling, and hybridization on microarray. We sought to obtain differential transcription of 195 genes in pure, co- and tri- cultures, in order to understand the role of DVH and MC in the syntrophy of strain 195.

Project description:Bacteria of the group “Dehalococcoides” display the ability to respire recalcitrant chlorinated organic compounds in laboratory and field site applications. Though reductive dehalogenases (RDases) have been shown to directly catalyze dechlorination reactions, the respiratory pathways and function of most genome-encoded RDases in Dehalococcoides strains remain incompletely described. In order to broaden the understanding of the biological organization of “Dehalococcoides”, this study monitored the trancriptomic response of “Dehalococcoides ethenogenes” stain 195 through microarray technology. Batch versus continuously fed cultures were examined and compared. When similarly respiring (~120 μeeq PCE/(L-hr)) batch and pseudo steady-state cultures were contrasted, the reductive dehalogenases (RDases) DET1545 and DET0180 were up-regulated in the PSS system indicating their activity at lower overall electron acceptor concentration.

The BES was either operated with S. oneidensis alone, fed with lactate, or it was operated with S. oneidensis and L. lactis with glucose as primary substrate. The basic medium was a modified M4 medium containing 0.5 g/L yeast extract, 0.5 g/L trypton and 5 g/L glycerol phosphate, besides the commen M4 incredients. S. oneidensis oxidizes lactate to acetate and electrons in a BES - the latter generate a current at a graphite anode. The anode biofilm was harvested after about 4 weeks of continuous BES operation and subjected to total RNA extraction.

Project description:The genomes of three newly isolated Dehalococcoides strains (11a, 11a5 and MB) were compared against known genomes in the Dehalococcoides genus via a microarray targeting four sequenced Dehalococcoides strains (195, CBDB1, BAV1, and VS). All three strains exhibit different dechlorination patterns, with strains 11a dechlorinating TCE to ethene, 11a5 dechlorinating TCE to VC and MB dechlorinating PCE only to isomers of DCE. Hybridization of their respective genomic DNA to the microarrays showed that the genomes of strains 11a and 11a5 show great similarity to each other and to strains CBDB1 and BAV1 of the Pinellas subgroup, while strain MB shows strong genome similarity to members of the Cornell subgroup. All genes within the respective subgroups that were not detected by microarray are within the respective high plasticity regions or integrated elements of the sequenced strains. A large number of reductive dehalogenase (RDase)-encoding genes are present within each genome, and the presence of the vcrA and tceA genes in strains 11a and 11a5 respectively, and the absence of any of the four functionally-characterized chlorinated ethene RDases (pceA, tceA, vcrA, bvcA) within strain MB appear to dictate chlorinated ethene usages regardless of the respective core genome phylogeny of the three strains. Considering the current data set together with previous comparative genomics results from application of the Dehalococcoides genus microarray to two other un-sequenced strains, the observed incongruence between the core genome phylogeny and chlorinated ethene usage of Dehalococcoides strains is likely driven by horizontal gene transfer of functional RDases. The other genomic features that are repeatedly observed in the microarray analyses of all five un-sequenced Dehalococcoides strains as well as the environmental implications on this work are presented in this study. The genomic DNA (gDNA) of each culture was analyzed in triplicate. gDNA from the two newly isolated Dehalococcoides strains 11a and 11a5 were analyzed.

Project description:A shotgun metagenome microarray was created and used to investigate gene transcription during vinyl chloride (VC) dechlorination by a microbial enrichment culture called KB1. The array was constructed by spotting genomic fragments amplified from short-insert libraries of KB1 metagenomic DNA. Subsequently, the microarrays were interrogated with RNA extracted from KB1 during VC dechlorination (VC+methanol), and in the absence of VC (methanol-only). The most differentially expressed spots, and spots with the highest intensities, were then chosen to be sequenced. Sequencing revealed that Dehalococcoides (Dhc) genes involved in transcription, translation and energy generation were up-regulated during VC degradation. Furthermore, the results indicated that the reductive dehalogenase homologous (RDH) gene KB1rdhA14 is the only RDH gene up-regulated upon VC degradation, and that multiple RDH genes were more highly transcribed in the absence of VC. Numerous hypothetical genes from Dehalococcoides were also more highly transcribed in methanol only treatments and indicate that many uncharacterized proteins are involved in cell maintenance in the absence of chlorinated substrates. Spots with genes from Spirochaetes, Chloroflexi, Geobacter, Methanogens and phage organisms were differentially expressed and sequencing provided information from these uncultivated organisms that can be used to design primers for more targeted studies. This array format is powerful, as it does not require a priori sequence knowledge. This study provides the first report of such arrays being used to investigate transcription in a mixed community, and shows that this array format can be used to screen metagenomic libraries for functionally important genes.

Project description:Microbial reductive dechlorination of trichloroethene (TCE) in groundwater often results in the accumulation of dichloroethenes (DCEs). Dehalococcoides mccartyi (Dhc) are the only known bacteria capable of dechlorination beyond DCE to non-toxic ethene. In this study, two newly isolated Dhc strains (11a and 11a5) with dissimilar functional abilities are described. Strain 11a reductively dechlorinates TCE, 1,1-DCE, cis-DCE, trans-DCE, and vinyl chloride (VC) to ethene, while strain 11a5 dechlorinates TCE and all three DCE isomers only to VC. Each of these dechlorination reactions are coupled to growth by these strains. The VC dechlorination rate of strain 11a occurs at a rate of 258 nmol per min per mg of protein, about two times faster than previously reported stains. Strain 11a possesses the vcrA gene while strain 11a5 contains the tceA gene. Strains 11a and 11a5 share 100% 16S rRNA gene sequence identity with previously sequenced Dhc strains BAV1 and CBDB1, placing it within the Pinellas subgroup, and 85.4% and 89.5% of all genes present in the CBDB1 and BAV1 genomes were detected in strains 11a and 11a5, respectively, using a custom-designed microarray targeting four sequenced Dhc strains. Genes that were not detected in strains 11a and 11a5 are mostly within the high plasticity regions or integrated elements of the sequenced strains. This study reports the functional description and comparative genomics of two additional Dhc isolates and provides evidence that the observed functional incongruence between the activity and core genome phylogenies of Dhc strains is likely driven by the horizontal transfer of key reductive dehalogenase-encoding genes.
