Project description:Our goal is to convert methane efficiently into liquid fuels that may be more readily transported. Since aerobic oxidation of methane is less efficient, we focused on anaerobic processes to capture methane, which are accomplished by anaerobic methanotrophic archaea (ANME) in consortia. However, no pure culture capable of oxidizing and growing on methane anaerobically has been isolated. In this study, Methanosarcina acetivorans, an archaeal methanogen, was metabolically engineered to take up methane, rather than to generate it. To capture methane, we cloned the DNA coding for the enzyme methyl-coenzyme M reductase (Mcr) from an unculturable archaeal organism from a Black Sea mat into M. acetivorans to effectively run methanogenesis in reverse. The engineered strain produces primarily acetate, and our results demonstrate that pure cultures can grow anaerobically on methane.

Project description:Aerobic methanotrophic bacteria use methane as their sole source of carbon and energy and serve as a major sink for the potent greenhouse gas methane in freshwater ecosystems. Despite this important environmental role, little is known about the molecular details of how these organisms interact in the environment. Many bacterial species use quorum sensing systems to regulate gene expression in a density-dependent manner. We have identified a quorum sensing system in the genome of Methylobacter tundripaludum, a dominant methane-oxidizer in methane enrichments of sediment from Lake Washington (Seattle, WA, USA). We determined that M. tundripaludum primarily produces N-3-hydroxydecanoyl-L-homoserine lactone (3-OH-C10-HSL) and that production is governed by a positive feedback loop. We then further characterized this system by determining which genes are regulated by quorum sensing in this methane-oxidizer using RNA-seq, and discovered this system regulates the expression of a novel nonribosomal peptide synthetase biosynthetic gene cluster. These results identify and characterize a mode of cellular communication in an aerobic methane-oxidizing bacterium.

Project description:Raw LC-MS/MS data of methane-oxidizing community from Lake Washington sediment enrichment (collected from 47.63 N, 122.25 W on July 15, 2013) grown in low-iron nitrate mineral salts (0.1uM FeCl3). Included are .mzml and .raw files for the enrichment grown in 12C-methane, 13C-methane, and 13C-methane plus 12C-DHB.

Project description:Lanthanides (Ln) play essential roles in the metabolism of certain bacteria, catalysing key reactions in methane oxidation. This study investigates the diversity and distribution of Ln-dependent proteins, collectively termed the lanthanome, in aerobic methane-oxidizing bacteria (MOB) using genome, plasmid, and metatranscriptome data from methane-rich lake sediments. A custom database of 180 MOB genomes revealed various methanol dehydrogenase (MDH) isoforms, including XoxF variants, distributed across Proteobacteria and Verrucomicrobia phyla. We conducted an experimental study with Methylosinus trichosporium OB3B exposed to CeCl₃ and an ore containing mixed lanthanides, measuring methane oxidation rates and using proteomics to assess shifts in protein expression. Despite differences in adaptation times, methane oxidation rates were consistent across treatments, indicating similar overall metabolic efficiencies after acclimatisation. The genomic analysis uncovered several Ln-binding proteins, including the TonB-dependent receptors LanA and lutH-like, as well as Lanmodulin and LanPepsy, with unique phylogenetic patterns. Metatranscriptomic data showed active lanthanome expression, particularly in Proteobacteria, with the XoxF5 MDH variant prevalent in MOB genomes. The discovery of Ln-binding proteins in plasmids suggests potential horizontal gene transfer, highlighting adaptive mechanisms of MOB to Ln availability and their ecological role in methane cycling. This work expands our understanding of Ln-utilising bacteria, particularly in the context of lanthanide-driven methane oxidation, and offers potential biotechnological applications for Ln-dependent processes.

Samples are 2 sets of biological replicates of a Methylobacter tundripaludum strain 21/22 mutant where the acyl-homoserine lactone (AHL) synthase gene mbaI (T451DRAFT_0796) has been deleted. The mutant strain was grown to log (48 hours) or stationary (68 hours) phase in the absence or presence of the AHL 3-OH-C10-HSL.

Project description:We established simple synthetic microbial communities in a microcosm model system to determine the mechanisms that underlay cross-feeding in microbial methane-consuming communities. Co-occurring strains from Lake Washington sediment were used that are involved in methane consumption, a methanotroph and two non-methanotrophic methylotrophs.

Project description:Crude oil is the one of the most important natural assets of humankind, yet it is a major environmental pollutant, in particular, in marine environments. One of the largest crude oil polluted areas in the word is the semi-enclosed Mediterranean Sea, where the metabolic potential of indigenous populations towards the chronic pollution at a large scale is yet to be defined, particularly in anaerobic and micro-anaerobic marine sites. Here, we provided a novel insight into the active microbial metabolism in sediments from three environments along the coastline of Italy. Microbial proteomes exhibited prevalence in anaerobic metabolism, not related to the biodegradation directly, suggesting the strong limitation by oxygen induced by the carbon overload. They also point at previously unrecognized metabolic coupling between methane and methanol utilizers as well as sulfur reducers in marine petroleum polluted sediments.
