Project description:We developed a microbial catalytic concept and strategy to prepare calcium carbonate with micro/nanostructures on the surface of bioceramics to improve bone-forming bioactivity. It involves three processes: bacterial adhesion on biomaterials, production of carbonate assisted with bacteria, nucleation and growth of calcium carbonate nano-crystals on the surface of bioceramics. The microbially catalyzed biominerals exhibited relatively uniform micro/nanostructures on both 2D and 3D CaSiO3 bioceramics. The descriptive analysis of RNA-sequencing revealed that the topographic and chemical cues presented by microbially catalyzed micro/nanostructures could stimulate the biological processes including adhesion, proliferation and differentiation. The study offers a microbially catalytic concept and strategy of fabricating micro/nanostructured biomaterials for tissue regeneration.

Project description:The extent to which plants can enhance human life support on other worlds depends on the ability of plants to thrive in extraterrestrial environments using in situ resources. Using samples from Apollo 11, 12 and 17, we show that the terrestrial plant Arabidopsis thaliana germinates and grows in diverse lunar regoliths. However, our results show that growth is challenging; the lunar regolith plants were slow to develop, expressed genes indicative of ionic stresses, and many showed severe stress morphologies. Therefore, although in situ lunar regolith can be useful for plant production in lunar habitats, they are not benign substrates. The interaction between plants and lunar regolith will need to be further elucidated, and likely mitigated, to enable efficient use of lunar regolith for life support.

Project description:The physiological and transcriptomic response of the metal resistant bacterium Cupriavidus metallidurans strain CH34 in response to stable (non-radioactive) strontium ions (Sr) was investigated. C. metallidurans CH34 could survive and proliferate in the presence of relatively high concentrations of SrCl2 (D10 is 70mM, MIC is 120 mM). Precipitation of Sr as strontium carbonate was observed in the culture during aerobic growth of CH34 in the presence of 60 mM SrCl2. To identify the cellular mechanisms involved in the bioprecipitation process, gene expression in the cells was analyzed after short-time (30 min) exposure to low (5 mM) and high (60 mM) concentrations of SrCl2. The transcription of the gene clusters annotated as hmyFCBA and czcCBADRS, coding for ion efflux pumps, was significantly induced following exposure to Sr, and not with Ca. There were also significant changes is the transcription of the genes encoding TctCBA proteins involved in citrate uptake and two hypothetical porin coding genes following exposure Sr and Ca. These results highlight a specific molecular response of bacterium Cupriavidus metallidurans CH34 to Sr, including the identification of putative Sr specific efflux pumps, and thus the potential of this bacterium to distinguish Sr from Ca. These findings will help to better understand natural Sr (and Ca) microbial weathering or mineralization processes in the environment, and could be of interest for bioremediation or bioprocessing of (radioactive) Sr-containing water, soil or waste. Two-condition experiments. Comparing samples after induction with metals (Sr, Ca) versus non-induced samples. Biological triplicate. Each array contains 3 technical replicates.

Project description:Microbially induced carbonate precipitation (MICP) refers to the biogeochemical process in which calcium carbonate is precipitated by altering the local geochemical environment (Mortensen et al. 2011). These alterations occur as a by-product of common microbial metabolic activities by increasing the local carbonate content as well as pH thereby saturating the solution in respect to carbonate. To better understand the microbial ecology of MICP on a community level in natural environments, we chose to evaluate microbial communities derived from travertine adjacent to Crystal Geyser (CG), Utah. CG is a cold-driven, CO2 rich geyser which is surrounded by colorful travertine that has been suggested to be generated through microbial processes. We used a cultivation-independent, multi-omics approach combined with geochemical measurements to investigate metabolic pathways and physiologies potentially involved in MICP at CG. We collected samples from the top 20 cm of travertine adjacent to Crystal Geyser, Utah in November 2019 and June 2021 (38.9384° N, 110.1354° W) wearing gloves at all times. We sampled 1 m away from the borehole (CG-1) and 10 m away from the borehole (CG-10). We preserved all collected samples in RNAlater-like solution (Menke et al., 2017, Front. Microbiol. 8) in a 1:10 sediment: RNAlater-like solution ratio as previously validated (Jensen et al. (2021, Micro. Spec. 2021, 9:2)

Project description:Microbially induced calcium carbonate precipitation (MICP) holds potential for soil stabilization and carbon sequestration efforts. While the biogeochemical pathways and enzymes driving MICP are known, the microbial metabolic networks and community dynamics underlying such processes remain poorly characterized. To address this gap, we interrogated a MICP-capable four-member consortium of soil bacteria termed carbon storing consortium - A (CSC-A). Prior work shows that CSC-A yields carbonate at a higher quantity compared to the sum of carbonate individually produced by each member, suggesting MICP is driven by consortium dynamics.Thus, we applied a multi-omic integration approach of genomics, transcriptomics, and metabolomics to investigate potential inter-species interactions that may influence the MICP phenotype. Genomic life history characterizations identified evidence of specialization by two members, while metatranscriptomic perturbation suggested that R. qingshengii is a keystone species when grown in urea, a key molecule to the MICP process. By comparing individual species’ metabolomes to the metabolic profile of a shared well, we identified over 200 metabolites predicted to be produced or consumed by CSC-A. Integrating both data types and mapping them to the KEGG reactome highlighted over 20 different enriched pathways with reactions related to glutamate metabolism, succinate metabolism, and branched chain amino acid biosynthesis. As succinate metabolism was a major node in this network we applied laboratory assays to confirm that succinate led to increased carbonate precipitation by CSC-A, a critical validation of our modeling approach. By isolating and identifying the interconnected metabolic components underlying MICP in CSC-A, we identified keystone taxa, metabolites, and pathways important for future optimization of the application of this consortium to carbonate precipitation.

Project description:The weathering of volcanic minerals makes a significant contribution to the global silicate weathering budget, influencing carbon dioxide drawdown and climate control. Basalt rocks may account for over 30% of the global carbon dioxide drawdown in silicate weathering. Yet the genetics of biological rock weathering are unknown. For the first time, we apply a DNA microarray to investigate the genes involved in weathering by the heavy metal resistant organism, Cupriavidus metallidurans CH34; in particular we investigate the sequestering of iron. The results show that the bacterium sequesters iron in the ferrous state (FeII); therefore, not requiring siderophores. Instead an energy efficient process involving upregulation of large porins is employed concomitantly with genes associated with biofilm formation. We hypothesise that rock weathering is induced by changes in chemical equilibrium at the microbe-mineral interface, reducing the saturation state of iron. We also demonstrate that low concentrations of metals in the basalt induce heavy metal resistant genes. Volcanic environments are analogous to some of the earliest environments on Earth. These results not only elucidate the mechanisms by which microorganisms might have sequestered nutrients on the early Earth but they also provide an explanation for the evolution of multiple heavy metal resistance genes long before the creation of contaminated industrial biotopes by human activity.

Project description:To effectively monitor microbial populations in acidic environments and bioleaching systems, a comprehensive 50-mer-based oligonucleotide microarray was developed based on most of the known genes associated with the acidophiles. This array contained 1,072 probes in which there were 571 related to 16S rRNA and 501 related to functional genes. Acid mine drainage (AMD) presents numerous problems to the aquatic life and surrounding ecosystems. However, little is known about the geographic distribution, diversity, composition, structure and function of AMD microbial communities. In this study, we analyzed the geographic distribution of AMD microbial communities from twenty sites using restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis of 16S rRNA genes, and the results showed that AMD microbial communities were geographically distributed and had high variations among different sites. Then an AMD-specific microarray was used to further analyze nine AMD microbial communities, and showed that those nine AMD microbial communities had high variations measured by the number of detected genes, overlapping genes between samples, unique genes, and diversity indices. Statistical analyses indicated that the concentrations of Fe, S, Ca, Mg, Zn, Cu and pH had strong impacts on both phylogenetic and functional diversity, composition, and structure of AMD microbial communities. This study provides insights into our understanding of the geographic distribution, diversity, composition, structure and functional potential of AMD microbial communities and key environmental factors shaping them. This study investigated the geographic distribution of Acid Mine Drainages microbial communities using a 16S rRNA gene-based RFLP method and the diversity, composition and structure of AMD microbial communities phylogenetically and functionally using an AMD-specific microarray which contained 1,072 probes ( 571 related to 16S rRNA and 501 related to functional genes). The functional genes in the microarray were involved in carbon metabolism (158), nitrogen metabolism (72), sulfur metabolism (39), iron metabolism (68), DNA replication and repair (97), metal-resistance (27), membrane-relate gene (16), transposon (13) and IST sequence (11).

Project description:Martian regolith (unconsolidated surface material) is a potential medium for plant growth in bioregenerative life support systems during manned missions on Mars. However, hydrated magnesium sulfate mineral levels in the regolith of Mars can reach as high as 10 wt%, and would be expected to be highly inhibitory to plant growth. A global approach was used to identify novel genes with potential to enhance tolerance to high MgSO4 stress. The early Arabidopsis root transcriptome response to elevated concentrations of magnesium sulfate was characterized in col-0, and also between col-0 and the mutant line cax1-1 – a mutant relatively tolerant of high levels of MgSO4•7H2O in soil solution.
