Project description:Although the biodegradation of biodegradable plastics in soil and compost is well-studied, there is little knowledge on the metabolic mechanisms of synthetic polymers degradation by marine microorganisms. Here, we present a multiomics study to elucidate the biodegradation mechanism of a commercial aromatic-aliphatic copolyester film by a marine microbial enrichment culture. The plastic film and each monomer can be used as sole carbon source. Our analysis showed that the consortium synergistically degrades the polymer, different degradation steps being performed by different members of the community. Analysis of gene expression and translation profiles revealed that the relevant degradation processes in the marine consortium are closely related to poly(ethylene terephthalate) biodegradation from terrestrial microbes. Although there are multiple genes and organisms with the potential to perform a degradation step, only a few of these are active during biodegradation. Our results elucidate the potential of marine microorganisms to mineralize biodegradable plastic polymers and describe the mechanisms of labor division within the community to get maximum energetic yield from a complex synthetic substrate.

Project description:Polylactic acid (PLA) is a promising biodegradable material used in various fields, such as mulching films and disposable packaging materials. Biological approaches for completely degrading biodegradable polymers can provide environmentally friendly solutions. However, to our knowledge, no studies have performed transcriptome profiling to analyze PLA-degrading genes of PLA-degrading bacteria. Therefore, this study reports for the first time an RNA sequence approach for tracing genes involved in PLA biodegradation in the PLA-degrading bacterium Brevibacillus brevis. In the interpretation results of the differentially expressed genes, the hydrolase genes mhqD and nap and the serine protease gene besA were up-regulated by a fold change of 7.97, 4.89, and 4.09, respectively. This result suggests that hydrolases play a key role in PLA biodegradation by B. brevis. In addition, Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes analyses showed that genes implicated in biofilm formation were upregulated. The biodegradation of PLA starts with bacteria attaching to the surface of PLA and forming a biofilm. Therefore, it could be confirmed that the above genes were up-regulated for access to PLA and biodegradation. Our results provide transcriptome-based insights into PLA biodegradation, which pitch a better understanding of microbial biodegradation of plastics.

Project description:This dataset provides a comprehensive proteomic characterization of a defined five-strain human gut bacterial consortium, including Bifidobacterium and Roseburia species. The consortium was grown on different carbohydrate sources, human milk oligosaccharides, dietary fibers, or a combination of both, to investigate how substrate availability influences microbial protein expression and metabolic activity. The resulting data captures functional responses and interactions within the community, offering insights into carbohydrate utilization, cross-feeding dynamics, and gut microbial ecology. This resource can support studies of microbiome function, microbial interactions, and dietary modulation of gut microbiota.

Project description:Specific pathogen-free laboratory mice exhibit limited immune maturation because of restricted microbial exposure. To determine how exposure to a defined consortium of enteric microbes alters systemic transcriptional programs, whole blood was collected from specific pathogen-free control mice and mice exposed to the IMPACT4 microbial consortium. RNA was extracted from the blood leukocytes and subjected to bulk RNA sequencing. Gene-expression profiles were compared between the two experimental groups to characterize transcriptional programs associated with microbial exposure and systemic immune maturation.
