Project description:Members of the bacterial phylum Spirochaetes are primarily studied for their commensal and pathogenic roles in animal hosts. However, Spirochaetes are also frequently detected in anoxic hydrocarbon-contaminated environments but their ecological role in such ecosystems has so far remained unclear. Here we provide a functional trait to these frequently detected organisms with an example of a sulfate-reducing, naphthalene-degrading enrichment culture consisting of a sulfate-reducing deltaproteobacterium Desulfobacterium naphthalenivorans and a novel spirochete Rectinema cohabitans. Using a combination of genomic, proteomic, and physiological studies we show that R. cohabitans grows by fermentation of organic compounds derived from biomass from dead cells (necromass). It recycles the derived electrons in the form of H2 to the sulfate-reducing D. naphthalenivorans, thereby supporting naphthalene degradation and forming a simple microbial loop. We provide metagenomic evidence that equivalent associations between Spirochaetes and hydrocarbon-degrading microorganisms are of general importance in hydrocarbon- and organohalide-contaminated ecosystems. We propose that environmental Spirochaetes form a critical component of a microbial loop central to nutrient cycling in subsurface environments. This emphasizes the importance of necromass and H2-cycling in highly toxic contaminated subsurface habitats such as hydrocarbon-polluted aquifers.

Project description:Desulfotomaculum reducens strain MI-1 is a Gram-positive, sulfate-reducing bacterium also capable of reducing Fe(III). Metal reduction in Gram-positive bacteria is poorly understood. Here, we investigated Fe(III) reduction with lactate, a non-fermentable substrate, as the electron donor. Lactate consumption is concomitant to Fe(III) reduction, but does not support significant growth, suggesting that little energy can be conserved from this process and that it may occur fortuitously. D. reducens can reduce both soluble (Fe(III)-citrate) and insoluble (hydrous ferric oxide, HFO) Fe(III). Because physically inaccessible HFO was not reduced, we concluded that reduction requires direct contact under these experimental conditions. This implies the presence of a surface exposed reductase capable of transferring electrons from the cell to the extracellular electron acceptor. With the goal of identifying candidate Fe(III) reductases, we carried out an investigation of the surface proteome (surfaceome) of D. reducens. Cell surface exposed proteins were extracted by trypsin cell shaving or by lysozyme treatment, and analyzed by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry.

Project description:G. uraniireducens was isolated from a subsurface site in Rifle, CO undergoing in situ uranium bioremediation. Sediments from the Rifle site were heat-sterilized, amended with acetate to simulate in situ bioremediation conditions, and inoculated with G. uraniireducens. Gene transcript abundance in these cells using sediment Fe(III) and Mn(IV) oxides as the electron acceptor were compared with transcript levels in cells grown with fumarate as the electron acceptor. Additional comparisons were made between cells grown on synthetic Fe(III) or Mn(IV) oxides and cells grown on fumarate.

Abstract:
Geobacter sulfurreducens is a well-studied representative of
the Geobacteraceae, which play a critical role in organic
matter oxidation coupled to Fe(III) reduction, bioremediation
of groundwater contaminated with organics or metals, and
electricity production from waste organic matter. In order to
investigate G. sulfurreducens central metabolism and electron
transport, a metabolic model which integrated genome-based
predictions with available genetic and physiological data was
developed via the constraint-based modeling approach.
Evaluation of the rates of proton production and consumption in
the extracellular and cytoplasmic compartments revealed that
energy conservation with extracellular electron acceptors, such
as Fe(III), was limited relative to that associated with
intracellular acceptors. This limitation was attributed to lack
of cytoplasmic proton consumption during reduction of
extracellular electron acceptors. Model-based analysis of the
metabolic cost of producing an extracellular electron shuttle
to promote electron transfer to insoluble Fe(III) oxides
demonstrated why Geobacter species, which do not produce
shuttles, have an energetic advantage over shuttle-producing
Fe(III) reducers in subsurface environments. In silico analysis
also revealed that the metabolic network of G. sulfurreducens
could synthesize amino acids more efficiently than that of
Escherichia coli due to the presence of a pyruvate-ferredoxin
oxidoreductase, which catalyzes synthesis of pyruvate from
acetate and carbon dioxide in a single step. In silico
phenotypic analysis of deletion mutants demonstrated the
capability of the model to explore the flexibility of G.
sulfurreducens central metabolism and correctly predict mutant
phenotypes. These results demonstrate that iterative modeling
coupled with experimentation can accelerate the understanding
of the physiology of poorly studied but environmentally
relevant organisms and may help optimize their practical
applications.

Project description:The conductive pili of Geobacter sulfurreducens are essential for optimal extracellular electron transfer to Fe(III) and long-range electron transport through current-producing biofilms. The KN400 strain of G. sulfurreducens reduces poorly crystalline Fe(III) oxide more rapidly than the more extensively studied DL-1 strain. Deletion of the gene for PilA, the structural pilin protein, in strain KN400 inhibited Fe(III) oxide reduction. However, slow rates of Fe(III) reduction were detected after extended (> 30 days) incubation in the presence of Fe(III) oxide. After seven consecutive transfers the PilA-deficient strain adapted to reduce Fe(III) oxide as fast as the wild type. Microarray, proteomic, and gene deletion studies indicated that this adaptation was associated with greater production of the c-type cytochrome PgcA, which was released into the culture medium. It is proposed that the extracellular cytochrome acts as an electron shuttle, promoting electron transfer from the outer cell surface to Fe(III) oxides. The adapted PilA-deficient strain competed well with the wild-type strain when both were grown together on Fe(III) oxide. However, when 50% of the culture medium was replaced with fresh medium every three days, the wild-type strain out-competed the adapted strain. A possible explanation for this is that the necessity to produce additional PgcA, to replace the PgcA continually removed, put the adapted strain at a competitive disadvantage, similar to the apparent selection against electron-shuttling producing Fe(III) reducers in most soils and sediments. Despite increased extracellular cytochrome production, the adapted PilA-deficient strain produced low levels of current; consistent with the concept that long-range electron transport through G. sulfurreducens biofilms cannot be achieved without PilA-pili.
