Project description:This is the reduced model described in the article:
A synthetic Escherichia coli predator–prey ecosystem
Balagaddé FK, Song H, Ozaki J, Collins CH, Barnet M, Arnold FH, Quake SR, You L.Mol Syst Biol. 2008;4:187. Epub 2008 Apr 15. PMID: 18414488; DOI:10.1038/msb.2008.24
Abstract:
We have constructed a synthetic ecosystem consisting of two Escherichia coli populations, which communicate bi-directionally through quorum sensing and regulate each other's gene expression and survival via engineered gene circuits. Our synthetic ecosystem resembles canonical predator–prey systems in terms of logic and dynamics. The predator cells kill the prey by inducing expression of a killer protein in the prey, while the prey rescue the predators by eliciting expression of an antidote protein in the predator. Extinction, coexistence and oscillatory dynamics of the predator and prey populations are possible depending on the operating conditions as experimentally validated by long-term culturing of the system in microchemostats. A simple mathematical model is developed to capture these system dynamics. Coherent interplay between experiments and mathematical analysis enables exploration of the dynamics of interacting populations in a predictable manner.
In the article the cell density is given in per 103 cells per microlitre. To evade a conversion factor in the SBML implementation, the unit for the cell densities was just left the same as for the AHLs A and A2 (nM).

Project description:Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus HD100 is a predatory bacterium which attacks a wide range of gram negative bacterial pathogens and is proposed to be a potential living antibiotic. In the current study, we evaluated the effects of indole, a bacterial signaling molecule commonly produced within the gut, on the predatory ability of B. bacteriovorus HD100. Indole significantly delayed predation on E. coli MG1655 and S. enterica KACC 11595 at physiological concentrations (0.25 to 1 mM) and completely inhibited predation when present at 2 mM. Microscopic analysis revealed that indole blocked the predator from attacking the prey. Furthermore, indole was not toxic to the predator but slowed down its motility. Microarray and RT-qPCR analyses confirmed this as the gene group showing the greatest down-regulation in the presence of 1 and 2 mM indole was flagellar assembly and motility genes. Aside from this group, indole also caused a wide spectrum changes in gene expression including the general down-regulation of genes involved in ribosome assembly and RNA translation. Furthermore, indole addition to the predatory culture after the entrance of B. bacteriovorus into the prey periplasm slowed down bdelloplast lysis. In conclusion, indole is an important gut-related signaling molecule that can have significant impacts on the predation efficiency and predator behavior. These findings should be taken into consideration especially if B. bacteriovorus is to be applied as a probiotic or living antibiotic.

Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus HD100 was incubated for 30 min at 30°C in HEPES buffer supplemented with 0,1, and 2 mM indole. RNA was then extracted from each sample and purified. 100 ng of RNA from each sample were used for microarray experiment. For zero and 1 mM indole treatments, three independant samples were tested while for 2 mM indole treatment, two samples were tested. A total of 8 arrays were used.

Project description:Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus is a Gram-negative bacterium that is a pathogen of other Gram-negative bacteria, including many bacteria which are pathogens of humans, animals and plants. As such Bdellovibrio has potential as a biocontrol agent, or living antibiotic. B. bacteriovorus HD100 has a large genome and it is not yet known which of it encodes the molecular machinery and genetic control of predatory processes. We have tried to fill this knowledge-gap using mixtures of predator and prey mRNAs to monitor changes in Bdellovibrio gene expression at a timepoint of early-stage prey infection and prey killing in comparison to control cultures of predator and prey alone and also in comparison to Bdellovibrio growing axenically (in a prey-or host independent “HI” manner) on artificial media containing peptone and tryptone. From this we have highlighted genes of the early predatosome with predicted roles in prey killing and digestion and have gained insights into possible regulatory mechanisms as Bdellovibrio enter and establish within the prey bdelloplast. Approximately seven percent of all Bdellovibrio genes were significantly up-regulated at 30 minutes of infection- but not in HI growth- implicating the role of these genes in prey digestion. Five percent were down-regulated significantly, implicating their role in free-swimming, attack-phase physiology. This study gives the first post- genomic insight into the predatory process and reveals some of the important genes that Bdellovibrio expresses inside the prey bacterium during the initial attack.

Project description:Myxococcus xanthus and Escherichia coli represent a well-studied microbial predatorprey pair frequently examined in laboratory settings. While significant progress has been made in comprehending the mechanisms governing M. xanthus predation, various aspects of the response and defensive mechanisms of E. coli as prey remain elusive. In this study, the E. coli large-scale chromosome deletion library was screened, and a mutant designated as ME5012 was identified to possess remarkable resistance to predation by M. xanthus. Within the deleted region of ME5012 encompassing seven genes, the significance of dusB and fis genes in driving the observed resistant phenotype became apparent. Specifically, the deletion of fis resulted in a notable reduction in flagellum production in E. coli, contributing to a certain level of resistance against predation by M. xanthus. Meanwhile, the removal of dusB in E. coli led to diminished inducibility of myxovirescin A production by M. xanthus, accompanied by a slight increase in resistance to myxovirescin A. These findings shed light on the molecular mechanisms underlying the complex interaction between M. xanthus and E. coli in a predatory context.

Project description:Purpose: Protozoan predators affect the structure of bacterial communities, but investigations into how predation influences bacterial evolution and antagonistic behaviours are scarce. We performed a 20-day predator-prey evolution experiment on solid media to investigate the adaptive traits that arise in bacterial prey under continuous protozoan predation. Methods: Pseudomonas fluorescens SBW25 and a wild Acanthamoeba sp. isolate as a predator prey pair co-evolved for 20 days yielded both previously described (Wrinkly Spreader; WS) and novel colony morphotype (Wrinkly Fried Egg; WFE) isolates with conferred grazing resistance. These isolates were subjected to RNAseq profiling with and without predation to determine transcriptional changes contributing to grazing resistance. Results: For differential gene expression the WT SBW25 without predation was used as a baseline. For the WS condition, a total of 881 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified, of which 424 were upregulated and 457 were downregulated. In the WFE condition, a total of 908 DEGs were identified, of which 475 were upregulated and 434 were downregulated. Among all DEGs, 335 upregulated and 313 downregulated genes were shared between the WS1 and WFE conditions Conclusions: Our findings suggest that protozoan predation can profoundly influence the course of genetic and phenotypic evolution in a short period of time. Together, the differential expression results suggest expression of features that would be expected to increase biofilm formation in WFE according to previous studies. However, increased expression of these traits may not lead to a stronger biofilm, but may still provide predation resistance. For example, fibrils may increase the effective profile size of a bacterial cell. Increased Fap-mediated biofilm formation also induces increased alginate synthesis in P. aeruginosa PA01, an exopolysaccharide that protects mucoid P. aeruginosa against macrophage killing. Interestingly, we found increased expression of alginate biosynthesis genes in both WFE and WS1 (algA, algF), suggesting alternate mechanisms leading to increased alginate production in these two strains.
