Project description:These data belong to a metabolic engineering project that introduces the reductive glycine pathway for formate assimilation in Cupriavidus necator. As part of this project we performed short-term evolution of the bacterium Cupriavidus necator H16 to grow on glycine as sole carbon and energy source. Some mutations in a putiative glycine transporting systems facilitated growth, and we performed transcriptomics on the evolved strain growing on glycine. Analysis of these transcriptomic data lead us to the discovery of a glycine oxidase (DadA6), which we experimentally demonstrated to play a key role in the glycine assimilation pathay in C. necator.

Project description:The aim of this study was to understand how autotrophic (CO2-fixing) bacteria balance the different needs for substrate assimilation, growth functions, and resilience in order to thrive in their environment.To this end, the proteome of the model chemolithoautotroph Ralstonia eutropha a.k.a. Cupriavidus necator was studied in different environmental conditions (four limiting substrates, and five different growth rates). Cupriavidus was cultivated in substrate-limited chemostats with fructose, formate, succinate and ammonium limitation to obtain steady state cell samples. The dilution rate/growth rate was increased step-wise from 0.05 to 0.25 1/h in 0.05 steps. Protein quantity was determined by LC-MS, and enzyme utilization was investigated by resource balance analysis modeling.
