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.

Project description:This project aims to investigate the metabolic pathways expressed by the active microbial community occurring at the deep continental subsurface. Subsurface chemoLithoautotrophic Microbial Ecosystems (SLiMEs) under oligotrophic conditions are supported by H2; however, the overall ecological trophic structures of these communities are poorly understood. Some deep, fluid-filled fractures in the Witwatersrand Basin, South Africa appear to support inverted trophic pyramids wherein methanogens contributing <5% of the total DNA apparently produce CH4 that supports the rest of the community. Here we show the active metabolic relationships of one such trophic structure by combining metatranscriptomic assemblies, metaproteomic and stable isotopic data, and thermodynamic modeling. Four autotrophic β-proteobacteria genera that are capable of oxidizing sulfur by denitrification dominate. They co-occur with sulfate reducers, anaerobic methane oxidizers and methanogens, which each comprises <5% of the total community. Defining trophic levels of microbial chemolithoautotrophs by the number of transfers from the initial abiotic H2-driven CO2 fixation, we propose a top-down cascade influence of the metabolic consumers that enhances the fitness of the metabolic producers to explain the inverted biomass pyramid of a multitrophic SLiME. Symbiotic partnerships are pivotal in the deep biosphere on and potentially beyond the Earth.

Project description:Anthropogenic perturbations to the nitrogen cycle, primarily through use of synthetic fertilizers, have caused unprecedented increases in the emission of nitrous oxide (N2O) in recent decades. As a potent greenhouse gas, and an ozone depleting substance, understanding the sources and sinks of N2O is of vital importance. Nitrate (NO3-) reducing microbes are a primary contributor to the biotic production of N2O in anoxic regions of soil, marine systems, and wastewater treatment facilities through the process of denitrification. Thus, developing a better understanding of denitrifying microbial communities, and the environmental factors that influence N2O emissions may provide strategies to mitigate emissions in agriculture and wastewater treatment. Here, through comprehensive genome analysis, we show that pathway partitioning is a common strategy utilized by microbial communities to perform complete denitrification. Through detailed physiological characterization and kinetic modeling of a cooperative synthetic community (SynCom) assembled by pairing bacterial isolates from a field site heavily contaminated with NO3-, we also provide insight into the controls of N2O emissions. We demonstrate that members of this SynCom cooperate to perform complete denitrification through exchange of nitrite (NO2-) and nitric oxide (NO), and that community context drives global physiological changes in each member. We identify links between amino acid metabolism and denitrification activity as well as indicators of competition and amino acid exchange. We also show that NO2- toxicity with unbalanced growth of community members drives N2O production, suggesting that this SynCom provides a simplified, environmentally relevant, model of pathway partitioning in denitrifying communities. This SynCom should provide a framework with which to further explore how environmental context can impact cooperation and lead to the production of N2O
