Project description:Pseudomonas alloputida KT2440 is a ubiquitous, soil-dwelling bacterium that metabolizes recalcitrant and volatile carbon sources. The latter is utilized by two redundant, Ca- and lanthanide (Ln)-dependent, pyrroloquinoline quinone-dependent alcohol dehydrogenases (PQQ ADH), PedE and PedH, whose expression is regulated by Ln availability. P. alloputida KT2440 is the best-studied non-methylotroph in the context of Ln-utilization. Combined with microfluidic cultivation and single-cell elemental analysis, we studied the impact of light and heavy Ln on transcriptome-wide gene expression when growing P. alloputida KT2440 with 2-phenylethanol as the carbon and energy source. Light Ln (La, Ce, and Nd) and a mixture of light and heavy Ln (La, Ce, Nd, Dy, Ho, Er, and Yb) had a positive effect on growth, whereas supplementation with heavy Ln (Dy, Ho, Er, and Yb) exerted fitness costs. These were likely a consequence of mismetallation and non-utilizable Ln interfering with Ln sensing and signaling. The measured amounts of cell-associated Ln varied between elements. Gene expression analysis suggested that the Ln sensing and signaling machinery, the two-component system PedS2R2 and PedH, responds differently to (non-)utilizable Ln. We expanded our understanding of the lanthanide (Ln) switch in P. alloputida KT2440, demonstrating that it adjusts the levels of pedE and pedH transcripts based on the availability of Ln. We propose that the usability of Ln influences the bacterium's response to different Ln elements.IMPORTANCEThe Ln switch, the inverse regulation of Ca- and Ln-dependent PQQ ADH in response to Ln availability in organisms featuring both, is central to our understanding of Ln utilization. Although the preference of bacteria for light Ln is well known, the effect of different Ln, light and heavy, on growth and gene expression has rarely been studied. We provide evidence for a fine-tuning mechanism of Ca- and Ln-dependent PQQ ADH in P. alloputida KT2440 on the transcriptome level. The response to (non-)utilizable Ln differs depending on the element. Ln commonly co-occur in nature. Our findings underline that Ln-utilizing microbes must be able to discriminate between Ln to use them effectively. Considering the prevalence of Ln-dependent proteins in many microbial taxa, more work addressing Ln sensing and signaling is needed. Ln availability likely necessitates different adaptations regarding Ln utilization.
