Project description:The formation of electroactive biofilms is a crucial process for the generation of bioelectricity and bioremediation. G. sulfurreducens is a dissimilatory metal-reducing microorganism that can couple oxidation of organic matter with extracellular electron transfer to different insoluble electron acceptors. It has the capability to form biofilms in insoluble metal oxides and electroconductive biofilms in electrodes in bioelectrochemical systems. The formation of electroactive biofilms in this microorganism is a process that has been studied from a physiological, genetic, physical, and electrochemical approach. In G. sulfurreducens, we found that the transcriptional regulator GSU1771 participates in the gene expression of essential genes involved in electron transfer and biofilm formation. Strains deficient in GSU1771 increases Fe(III) reduction, produces more c-type cytochromes and exopolysaccharides. Furthermore, the biofilms produced are thicker and more electroactive than wild-type. In this work, we investigate the global gene expression profile performing RNA-seq comparing Δgsu1771 mutant biofilm grown in non-conductive support (glass) and respiring-graphite electrode. RNA-seq analysis of Δgsu1771 biofilm grown in glass support revealed a total of 467 (167 upregulated and 300 downregulated) differentially expressed genes versus the wild-type biofilm. Meanwhile, in Δgsu1771 biofilm developed in respiring-electrode graphite, we detect 119 (79 upregulated and 40 downregulated) differentially expressed genes with respect to wild-type biofilm. Moreover, transcriptional changes of 67 (56 with the same regulation and in 11 counterregulation) genes were shared in Δgsu1771 biofilm developed in glass and graphite electrodes. We locate upregulated in Δgsu1771 biofilms potential target genes, involved in exopolysaccharide synthesis (gsu1961-63, gsu1959, gsu1972-73, gsu1976-77). We confirmed the upregulation of gsu1979, gsu0972, gsu0783, pgcA, omcM, aroG, panC gnfK, gsu2507, and the downregulation of asnA, ato-1, gsu0810, pilA, csrA, ppcD, and gsu3356 genes by RT-qPCR. DNA-protein binding assay shows direct binding of the GSU1771 regulator to the promoter region of pgcA, pulF, relA, and gsu3356. Also, heme-staining and western blotting revealed an increase of c-type cytochromes in Δgsu1771 biofilms such as OmcS and OmcZ. In general, our data shows that GSU1771 is a global regulator involved in controlling the extracellular electron transfer and exopolysaccharide synthesis, processes required for electroconductive biofilm development.

Project description:G. sulfurreducens (ATCC #51573) was obtained from the laboratory culture collection of Dr. Derek Lovley. Cells were grown under strict anaerobic conditions at 23 °C in batch culture. Both control and experimental populations were grown with 10mM acetate as the electron donor while Fe(III) as 55 mM ferric citrate served as the electron acceptor for the control populations and graphite anodes as the electron acceptor for the experimental populations. Controls populations were harvested at a concentration of 30 mM Fe(II). Fuel cell power output was monitored by measuring the voltage across a known resistance in the fuel cell and experimental populations were harvested when current production reached a steady state of 0.6 milliamperes. Cells were harvested at log phase by centrifugation at 4 °C and the cell pellet was flash-frozen in liquid nitrogen and then stored at -80 °C prior to RNA extraction. Three cultures of control and experimental populations were collected. Each culture vessel was harvested and extracted for total RNA separately to produce three biological replicates for this experiment. Additional information regarding the fuel cell experimental set up and culture conditions for this experiment can be found in both the current reference and the following reference: Bond DR and Lovley DR. Electricity production by Geobacter sulfurreducens attached to electrodes. 2003. Applied and Environmental Microbiology 69: 1548-1555.

Project description:The Geobacter species evolved respiratory versatility to utilize a wide range of terminal electron acceptors. To explore this adaptive mechanism, Fe(III) citrate, hydrous ferric oxide, and fumarate were selected as electron acceptors, and the methylome and metabolome of Geobacter sulfurreducens PCA grown on each electron acceptor were investigated via third-generation, single-molecule real-time DNA sequencing.Results showed that the patterns of 4-methylcytosine (m4C) and 6-methyladenine (m6A) modification were all varied in different electron acceptor cultures. Moreover, genes (e.g., GSU0466 and GSU1467) with low expression levels generally had high methylation levels. These findings suggest that m4C and m6A modifications play a role in the adaption of G. sulfurreducens to diverse electron acceptors, and DNA methylation may be involved in the adaption mainly via gene expression regulation.

Project description:There is a wide diversity of potential applications for direct electron transfer from electrodes to microorganisms, which might be better optimized if the mechanisms for this novel electrode-biofilm interaction were further understood. Geobacter sulfurreducens is one of the few microorganisms available in pure culture that is known to be capable of directly accepting electrons from a negatively poised electrode. Gene transcript abundance in cells of G. sulfurreducens using electrons delivered from a graphite electrode as the sole electron donor for fumarate reduction was compared with transcript abundance in cells growing on the same graphite material, but without an electrical connection and acetate as the electron donor.

Project description:S. oneidensis MR-1 was grown with different electron acceptors: an electrode at 0.4 V vs. SHE, 50 mM Fe(III)citrate, and oxygen. The gene expression pattern for each experiment was analyzed and the differences in gene expression for the different experimental conditions were compared. For two samples S. oneidensis was grown with a graphite anode electrode (at 0.4 V. vs. SHE) as the only electron acceptor - one sample was directly fed with 20 mM lactate, one sample was fed with lactate produced during fermentation of glucose by Lactococcus lactis. Four samples were grown anaerobically with 50 mM Fe(III)citrate as the only electron acceptor, and 20 mM lactate for 20 h. Three samples were grown aerobically with 20 mM lactate for 20 h. The same modified M4 medium was used for all samples. For RNA extraction, the biofilm was scraped off the frozen (-80M-BM-0C) carbon electrode with a sterile razor blade. Biofilm-carbon sludge was combined with 7 mL ice-cold phosphate buffer saline (PBS), vortexed, sonicated at 7 W for 30 s on ice (3 repetitions), and centrifuged. For the liquid cultures, 2 mL of each culture were combined with 2 mL RNA protect, vortexed, and centrifuged at 5,500g for 10 min. The pellets were resuspended in NAES buffer (50 mM sodium acetate buffer, 10 mM EDTA and 1 % SDS at pH 5). RNA was isolated with a phenol:chloroform extraction protocol.

Project description:G. sulfurreducens can generate electricity from the oxidation of organic compounds. This is because it can take electrons from organic compounds and ship them out to the outer surface of the cell where they can then be deposited on various insoluble electron acceptors including electrodes. Cells attatched to the surface of an electrode oxidize acetate and and deposit the electrons derived from acetate onto the surface of the electrode after which they can travel through an electrical circuit, producing a current. Microbial fuel cells powered by acetate oxidation by Geobacter species are called Geobatteries. In this experiment we compared gene expression in a biofilm of the wild type strain growing on the surface of an electrode within a current-producing Geobattery to gene expression in a wild type biofilm that is not producing current, but is growing on the surface of an electrode. In both cases, the cells were growing in a flow-through two chambered H-cell Geobattery setup. This consists of two glass chambers, an anoxic anode chamber containing G. sulfurreducens, a graphite electrode, a reference electrode and growth medium and an oxic chamber containing the counter electrode. The two chambers are connected by a cation selective membrane and a wire connected to a potentionstat. A potentiostat is an instrument which maintains the redox potential of the anode at a fixed value relative to a reference electrode. Media continuously flowed through the anoxic anode chamber at a dilution rate of 0.15. In the experimental condition, the Geobattery was operational. The circuit was closed and G. sulfurreducens attached to the electrode generated current as it oxidized acetate. The redox potential at the anode was poised at 300 mV by the potentiostat. In the control condition, everything was the same, except that the medium in the anode chamber contained fumarate as electron acceptor, and the anode was not hooked up to the potentiostat i.e. the circuit was open. This prevented the anode from serving as an electron acceptor. Nevertheless a thick G. sulfurreducens biofilm grew on the surface of the electrode. The control and experimental geobatteries were harvested when current in the operational/experimental Geobatteries reached 10 mA. Keywords: two condition comparison

Project description:Thermococcus kodakarensis preferentially utilizes amino acids as carbon and energy sources in the presence of elemental sulfur as a terminal electron acceptor, while it can assimilate and grow on starch or pyruvate using proton as a terminal acceptor, generating hydrogen in the absence of elemental sulfur. SurR is a transcriptional regulator controlling hydrogen and elemental sulfur metabolism. To identify the genes that are under the regulation of Tk-SurR, we investigated the transcriptional profiling of Tk-SurR deletion strain grown in the presence of elemental sulfur at 85˚C by comparing with the host strain, KU216.
