Project description:The L. lactis IL594 strain contains seven plasmids (pIL1 to pIL7) and is the parental strain of the plasmid-free L. lactis IL1403, one of the most studied lactic acid bacteria (LAB) strain. The genetic sequences of pIL1 to pIL7 plasmids have been recently described, however the knowledge of global changes in host phenotype and transcriptome remains poor. In presented study, global phenotypic analyses were combined with transcriptomic studies to evaluate a potential influence of plasmidic genes on overall gene expression in industrially important L. lactis strains. High-throughput screening of phenotypes differences revealed pronounced phenotypic differences in favor of IL594 during the metabolism of seven C-sources, including carbohydrates and β-glucosides. A plasmid-bearing strain presented increased resistance to unfavorable growth conditions, including the presence of heavy metal ions, antibiotics and antimicrobial compounds. Global comparative transcriptomic study of L. lactis strains revealed variation in the expression of over 370 of chromosomal genes caused by plasmids presence. The general trend presented upregulated energy metabolism and biosynthetic genes, differentially expressed regulators, prophages and cell resistance proteins. Our findings suggest that plasmids maintenance leads to significant perturbation in global gene regulation that provide changes in central metabolic pathways and adaptive properties of the IL594 cells.

Project description:Plasmid-free Lactococcus lactis IL1403 is one of the best-characterized representatives of lactic acid bacteria (LAB), intensively used in broad microbiology worldwide. Its parent strain, L. lactis IL594, contains seven plasmids (pIL1-pIL7) with resolved DNA sequences and an indicated role for overall plasmid load in enhancing host adaptive potential. To determine how individual plasmids manipulate the expression of phenotypes and chromosomal genes, we conducted global comparative phenotypic analyses combined with transcriptomic studies in plasmid-free L. lactis IL1403, multi-plasmid L. lactis IL594 and its single-plasmid derivatives. The presence of pIL2, pIL4 and pIL5 led to the most pronounced phenotypic differences in the metabolism of several carbon sources, including some β-glycosides and organic acids. The pIL5 plasmid also contributed to increased tolerance to some antimicrobial compounds and heavy metal ions, especially those in the toxic cation group. Comparative transcriptomics showed significant variation in the expression levels of up to 189 chromosomal genes due to the presence of single plasmids, and 435 unique chromosomal genes that are resultant of the activity of all plasmids, which may suggest that the observed phenotypic changes are not only the result of direct action of their own genes, but also originate from indirect actions through cross-talk between plasmids and the chromosome. The data obtained here indicate that plasmid maintenance leads to the development of important mechanisms of global gene regulation that provide changes in the central metabolic pathways and adaptive properties of L. lactis, and suggest the possibility of a similar phenomenon among other groups of bacteria.

Project description:The plasmids introduced into the E. coli cells affect the expression of chromosomal genes. Therefore we aimed at comparing the protein expression profiles of a strain not containing any plasmid with strains that do carry plasmids.

Project description:The response of L. lactis to the presence of S. cerevisiae was analyzed during the exponential growth phase in fermentors in defined growth conditions. Although no growth kinetic difference was observed between the pure and mixed culture of L. lactis, the mRNA level of genes was significantly modified. More particularly, a strong reorientation of pyrimidine metabolism was observed when L. lactis was grown in the mixed culture. Keywords: microbial interaction, time course

Project description:Pangenome arrays contain DNA oligomers targeting several sequenced reference genomes from the same species. In microbiology these can be employed to investigate the often high genetic variability within a species by comparative genome hybridization (CGH). The biological interpretation of pangenome CGH data depends on the ability to compare strains at a functional level, particularly by comparing the presence or absence of orthologous genes. Due to the high genetic variability, available genotype-calling algorithms can not be applied to pangenome CGH data. Therefore, we have developed the algorithm PanCGH that incorporates orthology information about genes to predict the presence or absence of orthologous genes in a query organism using CGH arrays that target the genomes of sequenced representatives of a group of microorganisms. PanCGH was tested and applied in the analysis of genetic diversity among 39 Lactococcus lactis strains from three different subspecies (lactis, cremoris, hordniae) and isolated from two different niches (dairy and plant). Clustering of these strains using the presence/absence data of gene orthologs revealed a clear separation between different subspecies and reflected the niche of the strains.
