Project description:Many trees form ectomycorrhizal symbiosis with fungi. During symbiosis, the tree roots supply sugar to the fungi in exchange for nitrogen, and this process is critical for the nitrogen and carbon cycles in forest ecosystems. However, the extents to which ectomycorrhizal fungi can liberate nitrogen and modify the soil organic matter and the mechanisms by which they do so remain unclear since they have lost many enzymes for litter decomposition that were present in their free-living, saprotrophic ancestors. Using time-series spectroscopy and transcriptomics, we examined the ability of two ectomycorrhizal fungi from two independently evolved ectomycorrhizal lineages to mobilize soil organic nitrogen. Both species oxidized the organic matter and accessed the organic nitrogen. The expression of those events was controlled by the availability of glucose and inorganic nitrogen. Despite those similarities, the decomposition mechanisms, including the type of genes involved as well as the patterns of their expression, differed markedly between the two species. Our results suggest that in agreement with their diverse evolutionary origins, ectomycorrhizal fungi use different decomposition mechanisms to access organic nitrogen entrapped in soil organic matter. The timing and magnitude of the expression of the decomposition activity can be controlled by the below-ground nitrogen quality and the above-ground carbon supply.

Project description:Marinobacter hydrocarbonoclasticus SP17 strain forms biofilms on water-insoluble hydrophobic organic compounds which it can use as the sole source for carbon and energy. Gene expression profiles were determined in biofilm cells grown on hexadecane (an alkane), triolein (a triglyceride) and planktonic cells growing exponentially on acetate (a water-soluble organic acid). Three independent biological replicates were used for each condition.

Project description:Low concentrations of pharmaceutical compounds were shown to induce transcriptional responses in isolated microorganisms, which could have consequences on ecosystem dynamics. In order to test if these transcriptional responses could also be observed in complex river microbial communities, biofilm reactors were inoculated with water from two distinct rivers and supplemented with environmentally relevant doses of four pharmaceutical products (erythromycin-ER, gemfibrozil-GM, sulfamethazine-SN and sulfamethoxazole-SL). To follow the expression of functional genes, we constructed a 9,600 features anonymous DNA microarray platform onto which cDNA from the various biofilms was hybridized.

Project description:The principal opportunistic human fungal pathogen Candida albicans forms biofilms resistant to antifungal therapeutics. Biofilms are a class of soft matter with viscoelastic properties and response to flow, but little is known regarding the genes contributing to these rheological phenotypes in fungal biofilms. Here, we identify C. albicans genes with deletion phenotypes of altered biofilm viscoelasticity. We analyzed mutants deleted for genes contributing to cell wall structure or extracellular matrix (ECM) production, and we identified increased elastic moduli, indicative of higher viscoelasticity, in strains singly deleted for PMR1, KRE5, and ALG11. PMR1 encodes a secretory pathway calcium pump. KRE5 encodes a UDP-glucose:glycoprotein glucosyltransferase, and ALG11 encodes alpha-1,2-mannosyltransferase. These mutants form less biofilm ECM by weight relative to wild type when cultured on agar. For these strains, biofilm morphology is smooth, with reduced hyphal formation. The mutants exhibit decreased resistance to the antifungal agent fluconazole relative to wild type biofilm cultures. To identify intracellular changes underlying these altered rheological properties, we globally profiled transcript levels in the respective mutants. Genes encoding membrane proteins were enriched in the set of transcripts differentially abundant in the alg11 deletion mutant. RNA levels are altered for genes associated with translation in the pmr1 deletion mutant and protein catabolism in the kre5 deletion strain. Genes involved in lipid metabolism and filamentous development are differentially expressed in cells from alg11, kre5, and pmr1 deletion mutant biofilms. Collectively, the data indicate C. albicans biofilm rheology as a phenotype affected by ECM production and cell morphology, while identifying genes for the investigation of mechanisms underlying properties of fungal biofilm viscoelasticity.

Project description:The human protozoan parasiteEntamoeba histolyticais responsible for amebiasis, a disease endemic to developing countries.E. histolyticatrophozoites colonize the large intestine, primarily feeding on bacteria. However, in the GI, as well as in aquatic and soil microenvironments, bacterial cells form aggregates or structured communities, called biofilm, too large for phagocytosis. However, trophozoites are still able to invade and degrade bacteria under biofilm form by a mechanism mimicking digestive exophagy. E.histolytica cysteine proteinase degrade TasA, one of the main component of the biofilm matrix. Biofilm also play an important role protecting trophozoites against oxidative stress. The specific mechanism suggests that amoeba is adapted to biofilm predation and may serve as a new unexplored reservoir of novel therapeutic approaches to treat biofilms. Consistently, amoeba’s products restored antibiotic sensitivity to biofilm cells. Furthermore, our findings here show that probiotic biofilms may serve as a protective shield for mammalian cells, hindering the progression of the parasite towards them.

Project description:Microtoming Coupled with Microarray Analysis to Evaluate Potential Differences in the Metabolic Status of Geobacter sulfurreducens at Different Depths in Anode Biofilms Differences in the Metabolic Status of Geobacter sulfurreducens at Different Depths in A Current Producing Biofilm Further insight into the metabolic status of cells within anode biofilms is essential for understanding the functioning of microbial fuel cells and developing strategies to optimize their power output. In order to further compare the metabolic status of cells growing close to the anode versus cells in the outer portion of the anode biofilm, mature anode biofilms were treated to stop turnover over of mRNA and then encased in resin which was sectioned into 100 nm shavings with a diamond knife and pooled into inner (0-20 µm from anode surface) and outer (30-60 µm) fractions. Whole genome DNA microarray analysis of RNA extracted from the shavings revealed that, at a 2-fold lower threshold, there were 146 genes that had significant (p<0.05), differences in transcript abundance between the inner and outer portions of the biofilm. Only 1 gene, GSU0093, a hypothetical ABC transporter, had significantly higher transcript abundances in the outer biofilm. Genes with lower transcript abundance in the outer biofilm included genes for ribosomal proteins and NADH dehydrogenase, suggesting that cells in the outer biofilm had lower metabolic rates. However, the differences in transcript abundance were relatively low (<3-fold) and the outer biofilm did not have significantly lower expression of the genes for TCA cycle enzymes which previous studies have demonstrated are sensitive indicators of changes in rates of metabolism in G. sulfurreducens. There also was no significant difference in the transcript levels for outer-surface cell components thought to be important in electron transfer in anode biofilms. Lower expression of genes involved in stress responses in the outer biofilm may reflect the development of low pH near the surface of the anode. The results of the metabolic staining and gene expression studies suggest that cells throughout the biofilm are metabolically active and can potentially contribute to current production. The microtoming/microarray strategy described here may be useful for evaluating gene expression with depth in a diversity of microbial biofilms. Three biological replicates were hybridized in triplicate on a coustom affimetrix tilling array using prokaryotic protocol (p69Affy, p75 Adobe) for labeling, hybridization and scanning.

To follow the expression of functional genes, we constructed a 9,600 features anonymous DNA microarray platform onto which cDNA from the various biofilms was hybridized. The reactor design for biofilm development has been previously described (Lawrence et al., 2004; Lawrence et al., 2000). Two duplicate experiments were carried out, with reactors being inoculated with either water from the WC (nutrient rich) or the SSR (nutrient poor). Treatments consisted in the addition of various pharmaceutical compounds: 1 µg l-1 erythromycin (ER), 1 µg l-1 gemfibrozil (GM), 0.5 µg l-1 sulfamethazine (SN), 0.5 µg l-1 sulfamethoxazole (SL). Nothing was added to control reactors (CO). All treatments were replicated independently three times. A reference sample (composite sample from Wascana Creek reactors used to construct the microarray) was hybridized (Cy5) on each slide.
