Project description:This series represents the gene expression study of phages DT1 and 2972 during the whole process of infection. Gene expression was measured at nine time intervals (0, 2, 7, 12, 17, 22, 27, 32, 37 minutes) during phage infection.
Project description:Anthropogenic perturbations to the nitrogen cycle, primarily through use of synthetic fertilizers, is driving an unprecedented increase in the emission of nitrous oxide (N2O), a potent greenhouse gas, and an ozone depleting substance, causing urgency in identifying the sources and sinks of N2O. Microbial denitrification is a primary contributor to the biotic production of N2O in anoxic regions of soil, marine systems, and wastewater treatment facilities. Here, through comprehensive genome analysis, we show that pathway partitioning is a ubiquitous mechanism of complete denitrification by microbial communities. We have further investigated the mechanisms and consequences of process partitioning through detailed physiological characterization and kinetic modeling of a synthetic community of Rhodanobacter R12 and Acidovorax 3H11. We have discovered that these two bacterial isolates from a heavily NO3- contaminated superfund site complete denitrification through the exchange of nitrite (NO2-) and nitric oxide (NO). Our findings further demonstrate that cooperativity within this denitrifying community emerges through process partitioning of denitrification and other processes, including amino acid metabolism. We demonstrate that certain contexts, such as high NO3-, cause unbalanced growth of community members, due to differences in their substrate utilization kinetics and inter-enzyme competition. The altered growth characteristics of community members drives accumulation of toxic NO2- , which disrupts denitrification causing N2O off gassing.
