Project description:Dehalococcoides mccartyi are functionally important bacteria that catalyze the reductive dechlorination of chlorinated ethenes. However, these anaerobic bacteria are fastidious to isolate, making downstream genomic characterization challenging. In order to facilitate genomic analysis, a fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) method was developed in this study to separate D. mccartyi cells from a microbial community, and the DNA of the isolated cells was processed by whole genome amplification (WGA) and hybridized onto a D. mccartyi microarray for comparative genomics against four sequenced strains. First, FACS was successfully applied to a D. mccartyi isolate as positive control, and then microarray results verified that WGA from 106 cells or M-bM-^HM-<1 ng of genomic DNA yielded high-quality coverage detecting nearly all genes across the genome. As expected, some inter- and intrasample variability in WGA was observed, but these biases were minimized by performing multiple parallel amplifications. Subsequent application of the FACS and WGA protocols to two enrichment cultures containing M-bM-^HM-<10% and M-bM-^HM-<1% D. mccartyi cells successfully enabled genomic analysis. As proof of concept, this study demonstrates that coupling FACS with WGA and microarrays is a promising tool to expedite genomic characterization of target strains in environmental communities where the relative concentrations are low. The genomic DNA (gDNA) of each culture or sorted and amplifed DNA was analyzed in triplicate.

Project description:Extensive use of polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) has resulted in widespread environmental distribution and concerns remain about risks to human health and ecosystems from legacy PBDE contamination. Though bioremediation has been proven to be a cost-effective and efficient technology for treating halogenated pollutants in situ, application of bioremediation technologies at PBDE-contaminated sites is restricted by a lack of knowledge about functional PBDE-dehalogenating microbes. In the current study, we observed distinct PBDE-dehalogenation activity by three previously isolated Dehalococcoides mccartyi strains (CG1, CG4, and 11a5). PBDE debromination proceeded via distinct pathways in each D. mccartyi strain and involved previously characterized (TceA11a5, PcbA1, and PcbA4) and uncharacterized (11a5_e001) reductive dehalogenases (RDase), suggesting that this phenotype may be more widespread among the Dehalococcoides than is currently recognized.

Project description:Microbial degradation of chlorinated ethenes
| PRJDB9436 | ENA
Project description:Dehalococcoides mccartyi obligately depends on organohalide respiration for energy conservation and growth. The genome of strain CBDB1 encodes 32 reductive dehalogenases, which enable the reductive dehalogenation of a broad range of halogenated compounds. It is one of the few strains able to respire chlorinated benzenes. The differential transcriptional response of the dehalogenase-encoding and –associated genes to halogenated aromatic compounds has so far not been studied on a genome-wide level. To understand the global transcriptional response to specific halogenated aromatic compounds, we analyzed and compared the transcriptomes during growth with 1,2,3- and 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene (TCB).

Project description:The chlorinated ethene-respiring bacteria of the genus Dehalococcoides are important for bioremediation. A microarray targeting genes from all available sequenced genomes of the Dehalococcoides genus was designed with 4305 probe sets to target 98.6% of all genes from strains 195, CBDB1, BAV1, and VS. The microarrays were validated with genomic DNA (gDNA) of strains 195 and BAV1 and satisfactory analytical reproducibility, quantitative response and gene detection accuracy were obtained. These microarrays were applied to query the genomes of two recently isolated Dehalococcoides strains, ANAS1 and ANAS2. Strains ANAS1 and ANAS2 can both couple the reduction of TCE, cDCE and 1,1-DCE but not PCE and tDCE with growth while only strain ANAS2 couples VC reduction to growth. Analysis of the respective gDNA using the microarrays showed that the genomes of both strains are similar to each other and to strain 195, except for genes that are within the previously defined integrated elements (IEs) or high plasticity regions (HPRs). Similar results to the combined isolates were obtained when gDNA of ANAS, the enrichment culture from which the two Dehalococcoides isolates originated, was applied to the microarrays. The genome similarities, together with the distinct chlorinated ethene usage of strains ANAS1, ANAS2 and 195 demonstrate that closely phylogenetically related strains can be physiologically different. This incongruence between physiology and core genome phylogeny appears to be driven by the presence of distinct reductive dehalogenase (RDase)-encoding genes with characterized chlorinated ethene functions (pceA, tceA in strain 195; tceA in strain ANAS1; vcrA in strain ANAS2). Genes encoding central metabolic functions of strain 195 were all detected in strains ANAS1 and ANAS2, while interestingly, the tryptophan operon of these strains is similar to that of strain VS. Overall, the microarrays are a valuable high-throughput tool for comparative genomics of un-sequenced Dehalococcoides-containing samples.

Project description:The proteome of the anaerobic bacterium Dehalococcoides mccartyi strain CBDB1 from the phylum Chloroflexi was investigated. D. mccartyi strain CBDB1 is a model organism for organohalide respiration where halogenated organic compounds serve as terminal electron acceptors. A wide range of halogenated organic compounds have been shown to be dehalogenated by the strain CBDB1. Therefore, D. mccartyi strain CBDB1 is a promising candidate for bioremediation application. Proteomic analysis of cultures grown with hexachlorobenzene as only electron acceptor resulted in identification of 8,491 distinct peptides which represents 1,023 proteins. A coverage of 70% of the 1,458 annotated proteins for strain CBDB1 was achieved. In addition, a spectral library was created from the annotated spectra. By using proteogenomics, 18 previously not annotated peptides were identified which contribute to four proteins previously not annotated and corrections in length of eight protein coding sequences.
