Metatranscriptomics of microbial biofilm succession on HDPE foil: uncovering plastic-degrading potential in soil communities.

Project description:BackgroundAlthough plastic pollution is increasing worldwide, very little is known about the microbial processes that take place once plastic debris is incorporated into the soil matrix. In this study, we conducted the first metatranscriptome analysis of polyethylene (PE)-associated biofilm communities in highly polluted landfill soil and compared their gene expression to that of a forest soil community within a 53-day period.ResultsOur findings indicate that the microbial population present in soil contaminated with plastic debris is predisposed to both inhabit and degrade plastic surfaces. Surprisingly, the microbial community from undisturbed forest soil contained a diverse array of plastic-associated genes (PETase, alkB, etc.), indicating the presence of an enzymatic machinery capable of plastic degradation. Plastic-degrading taxa were upregulated in the early stages of biofilm formation. During the maturation of the biofilm, the alkB1/alkM transcripts, which encode PE-degrading enzymes, and transporters such as fadL, livG, livF, livH, and livM were upregulated, along with transcripts associated with the fatty acid β-oxidation pathway.ConclusionsIn this study, we address the underlying patterns of gene expression during biofilm development in a PE-associated plastisphere in soil and address the pressing question of whether natural microbial communities have the potential to biodegrade petrochemical-based plastic in the soil environment.

Plastic degrdation in Rhodococcus

Project description:The study aimed to explore the potential of bacterial biodegradation as a solution to the global problem of plastic pollution, specifically targeting polyethylene (PE), one of the most common types of plastic. The goals of the study were to isolate a bacterial strain capable of breaking down PE, identify the key enzymes responsible for the degradation process, and understand the metabolic pathways involved. By investigating these aspects, researchers sought to gain critical insights that could be used to optimize plastic degradation conditions and inform the development of artificial microbial communities for effective bioremediation strategies. This research has significant relevance, as it addresses the pressing need for innovative and sustainable approaches to tackle the ever-growing issue of plastic waste and its impact on the environment.

Genome-resolved metatranscriptomics reveals conserved root colonization determinants in a synthetic microbiota

Project description:The identification of processes activated by specific microbes during microbiota colonization of plant roots has been hampered by technical constraints in metatranscriptomics. These include lack of reference genomes, high representation of host or microbial rRNA sequences in datasets, or difficulty to experimentally validate gene functions. Here, we recolonized germ-free Arabidopsis thaliana with a synthetic, yet representative root microbiota comprising 106 genome-sequenced bacterial and fungal isolates. We used multi-kingdom rRNA depletion, deep RNA-sequencing and read mapping against reference microbial genomes to analyse the in-planta metatranscriptome of abundant colonizers. We identified over 3,000 microbial genes that were differentially regulated at the soil-root interface. Translation and energy production processes were consistently activated in planta, and their induction correlated with bacterial strains’ abundance in roots. Finally, we used targeted mutagenesis to show that several genes consistently induced by multiple bacteria are required for root colonization in one of the abundant bacterial strains (a genetically tractable Rhodanobacter). Our results indicate that microbiota members activate strain-specific processes but also common gene sets to colonize plant roots.

Metaproteomics of plastic biofilms in marine environments

Project description:To characterize the taxonomic and functional diversity of biofilms on plastics in marine environments, plastic pellets (PE and PS, ø 3mm) and wooden pellets (as organic control) were incubated at three stations: at the Baltic Sea coast in Heiligendamm (coast), in a dead branch of the river Warnow in Warnemünde (inlet), and in the Warnow estuary (estuary). After two weeks of incubation, all pellets were frozen for subsequent metagenome sequencing and metaproteomic analysis. Biofilm communities in the samples were compared on multiple levels: a) between the two plastic materials, b) between the individual incubation sites, and c) between the plastic materials and the wooden control. Using a semiquantitative approach, we established metaproteome profiles, which reflect the dominant taxonomic groups as well as abundant metabolic functions in the respective samples.

Transcriptome responses of benthic microbial communities after chronic and/or acute exposure to diuron

Project description:This experiment aimed to understand stress responses of microbial communities differing in chronic exposure to the photosynthesis inhibitor diuron, combining untargeted metatranscriptomics (RNA-seq) and dose-response design. First, river microbial communities were incubated for 5-weeks in microcosms 1/ under constant exposure to 4µg/L of diuron (stressed community) or 2/ without contamination (non-stressed community). Then, both communities were exposed for 1 hour to a gradient of diuron concentrations to investigate differences in stress responses after chronic exposure. This experimental design enabled the determination of contig response trends as well as sensitivity thresholds.
