Project description:RNA-sequencing is a powerful tool for exploring expression profiles of microbial species that does not require the production of a custom genechip. We used microarrays to compare our quantitative RNA-sequencing method to the standard expression quantification methods Methanobrevibacter smithii PS cultures were grown to stationary phase under 80% hydrogen, 20% CO2, with varying amounts of formate. RNA was extracted and purified, then divided into two aliquots per sample. One aliquot was prepared for hybridization on Affymetrix gene chips, the other was prepared for microbial RNA-sequencing.

Project description:The human gut microbiota harbors methanogens represented by the dominant archaeon, Methanobrevibacter smithii, a polyphyletic group of acetogens, and sulfate-reducing bacteria. Defining their roles in the H2-economy of the gut has potential therapeutic importance for modulating the efficiency of fermentation of dietary components. We quantified methanogens in fecal samples from 40 healthy adult female monozygotic(MZ) and 28 dizygotic(DZ) twin pairs, analyzed bacterial 16S rRNA datasets generated from their fecal samples to identify taxa that co-occur with methanogens, sequenced the genomes of 20 M. smithii strains isolated from families of MZ and DZ twins, and performed RNA-Seq of a subset of strains to identify their responses to varied formate concentrations. The concordance rate for methanogen carriage was significantly higher for MZ versus DZ twin pairs. Co-occurrence analysis revealed 22 bacterial species-level taxa positively correlated with methanogens: all but two were members of the Clostridiales, with several being, or related to, known hydrogen-producing and -consuming bacteria. The M. smithii pan-genome contains 987 genes conserved in all strains, and 1860 variably represented genes. Strains from MZ and DZ twin pairs had a similar degree of shared genes and SNPs, and were significantly more similar than strains isolated from mothers or members of other families. The 101 adhesin-like proteins(ALPs) in the pan-genome (45±6/strain) exhibit strain-specific differences in expression and responsiveness to formate. We hypothesize that M. smithii strains use their different repertoires of ALPs to create diversity in their metabolic niches, by allowing them to establish syntrophic relationships with bacterial partners with differing metabolic capabilities and patterns of co-occurrence These strains were isolated from human feces, but they are in pure culture now. All the information about each species is associated with the genome accession number Fecal samples from 40 healthy adult female monozygotic(MZ) and 28 dizygotic(DZ) twin pairs, analyzed bacterial 16S rRNA datasets generated from their fecal samples to identify taxa that co-occur with methanogens, sequenced the genomes of 20 M. smithii strains isolated from families of MZ and DZ twins, and performed RNA-Seq of a subset of strains to identify their responses to varied formate concentrations. Strains of Methanobrevibacter smithii were grown in vitro (modified MBC media) to mid-log phase, at 37°C in serum bottles pressurized with 80% hydrogen, 20% CO2 gasses at 30psi. Cells were harvested by centrifugation, and DNA was isolated by phenol-chloroform and ethanol precipitation.

Project description:Extrachromosomal vesicles (EVs) are membrane-bound particles secreted by cells from all domains of life and implicated in a variety of important processes, from intercellular communication to pathogenesis. Here, we characterize EVs produced by the dominant human gut methanogen, Methanobrevibacter smithii, which, unlike most archaea, contains a peptidoglycan-like cell wall. Using quantitative proteomics, we show that M. smithii EVs are enriched in various proteins responsible for chromatin structure, including histones, and DNA repair. Consistently, the M. smithii EVs carry DNA, with fragments covering the entire cellular chromosome. Notably, the EVs are strongly enriched in extrachromosomal circular DNA (eccDNA) molecules which originate from excision of a 2.9-kb chromosomal fragment and a proviral genome. The eccDNA and the provirus are respectively ~600× and ~30× more abundant in the EVs compared to other chromosomal regions. The eccDNA encodes two of the key methanogenesis enzymes and could boost their expression inside the cells through the gene dosage effect. Furthermore, four of the top ten most abundant EV proteins are implicated in methanogenesis. Cryo-electron tomography (Cryo-ET) suggests that EVs are formed by budding from the cell membrane and are trapped under the cell wall prior to liberation through local disruptions in the cell wall. Collectively, our results reveal parallels with EV biogenesis in bacteria and suggest that M. smithii EVs facilitate the export of both cellular and viral DNA as well as key metabolic proteins in the gut environment, with potential impact on methane production.
