Mucosal Glycan Foraging Enhances the Fitness and Transmission of a Saccharolytic Human Distal Gut Symbiont: ECF mutant

ABSTRACT: Growth of isogenic parent ('tdk strain'), 5xECF-sigma factor mutant and complemented mutant strain in the cecum of NMRI inbred mice fed a glycan-restricted, 'simple sugar' diet (35% each glucose and sucrose). Bacteria were collected from mouse distal gut 10 days after colonization. Experiment performed in biological triplicate; for purposes of cross-comparison, profiles were referenced to an in vitro minimal medium glucose chemostat culture (800ml volume, mid-log phase). Reference samples are GSM301635, 301637 and 301639 and are part of series GSE11944.

Mucosal glycan foraging enhances fitness and transmission of a saccharolytic human gut bacterial symbiont.

The distal human gut is a microbial bioreactor that digests complex carbohydrates. The strategies evolved by gut microbes to sense and process diverse glycans have important implications for the assembly and operation of this ecosystem. The human gut-derived bacterium Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron forages on both host and dietary glycans. Its ability to target these substrates resides in 88 polysaccharide utilization loci (PULs), encompassing 18% of its genome. Whole genome transcriptional profil ...[more]

Mucosal Glycan Foraging Enhances the Fitness and Transmission of a Saccharolytic Human Distal Gut Symbiont

Project description:Gene expression profiles of Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron in vitro during growth on host mucosal polysaccharides as sole carbon sources. All substrates in this series are derived from porcine gastric mucin and include mucin O-glycans and glycosaminoglycans. Two different culture formats used: 800ml batch-culture bioreactors and 5ml tube cultures (format is indicated within each sample title). Each set of growths was referenced to a minimal medium glucose reference corressponding to the same culture format. Unfractionated porcine mucosal glycan (PMG) growths were compared to previously published in vivo datasets, which were referenced to the 800ml minimal medium glucose reference dataset.

Mucosal glycan foraging enhances fitness and transmission of a saccharolytic human gut bacterial symbiont.

Project description:The distal human gut is a microbial bioreactor that digests complex carbohydrates. The strategies evolved by gut microbes to sense and process diverse glycans have important implications for the assembly and operation of this ecosystem. The human gut-derived bacterium Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron forages on both host and dietary glycans. Its ability to target these substrates resides in 88 polysaccharide utilization loci (PULs), encompassing 18% of its genome. Whole genome transcriptional profiling and genetic tests were used to define the mechanisms underlying host glycan foraging in vivo and in vitro. PULs that target all major classes of host glycans were identified. However, mucin O-glycans are the principal host substrate foraged in vivo. Simultaneous deletion of five genes encoding ECF-sigma transcription factors, which activate mucin O-glycan utilization, produces defects in bacterial persistence in the gut and in mother-to-offspring transmission. Thus, PUL-mediated glycan catabolism is an important component in gut colonization and may impact microbiota ecology.

Growth of B. thetaiotaomicron on purified host mucosal glycans and glycan fragments

Project description:Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron was grown and transcriptionally profiled on a number of different host mucosal glycans and their component mono- and disaccharides. Experiments are performed in biological duplicate (2 replicates per growth condition). All cultures were harvested at similar points in mid-log phase of growth in minimal medium plus 0.5% (total amount, w/v) of a defined carbon source. Cultures on individual carbon sources are designed to be referenced to a minimal medium glucose control (GSM302686 and 302791) grown in the same growth format. Note that the hybridization targets used for these two reference datasets are from the exact same prep used for similar targets on the GPL1821 platform (sets GSM301720 and 301721)

Intrasperm vertical symbiont transmission.

Project description:Symbiotic bacteria are commonly associated with cells and tissues of diverse animals and other organisms, which affect hosts' biology in a variety of ways. Most of these symbionts are present in the cytoplasm of host cells and maternally transmitted through host generations. The paucity of paternal symbiont transmission is likely relevant to the extremely streamlined sperm structure: the head consisting of condensed nucleus and the tail made of microtubule bundles, without the symbiont-harboring cytoplasm that is discarded in the process of spermatogenesis. Here, we report a previously unknown mechanism of paternal symbiont transmission via an intrasperm passage. In the leafhopper Nephotettix cincticeps, a facultative Rickettsia symbiont was found not only in the cytoplasm but also in the nucleus of host cells. In male insects, strikingly, most sperm heads contained multiple intranuclear Rickettsia cells. The Rickettsia infection scarcely affected the host fitness including normal sperm functioning. Mating experiments revealed both maternal and paternal transmission of the Rickettsia symbiont through host generations. When cultured with mosquito and silkworm cell lines, the Rickettsia symbiont was preferentially localized within the insect cell nuclei, indicating that the Rickettsia symbiont itself must have a mechanism for targeting nucleus. The mechanisms underlying the sperm head infection without disturbing sperm functioning are, although currently unknown, of both basic and applied interest.

In vitro and in vivo transcriptional profiling of Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron

Project description:Transcriptional profiling of Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron was performed on samples taken from (i) chemostat cultures (in vitro) and (ii) from the ceca of gnotobiotic monoassociated NMRI mice (in vivo). In vitro profiles were obtained from biological duplicate cultures taken at five timepoints from log to stationary phase in three types of media: (i) minimal media glucose (MM-G), (ii) minimal media maltotriose (MM-M), and (iii) rich media (TYG). In vivo profiling was performed on 12 mice, each colonized with B. thetaiotaomicron for ten days. The in vivo profiling was conducted in two separate experiments: (i) 6 male NMRI mice fed standard polysaccharide rich mouse chow and (ii) 3 male NMRI mice fed standard polysaccharide rich mouse chow and 3 male NMRI mice fed a simple sugar diet containing glucose and sucrose but deficient in polysaccharides.

Mucin glycan foraging in the human gut microbiome.

Project description:The availability of host and dietary carbohydrates in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract plays a key role in shaping the structure-function of the microbiota. In particular, some gut bacteria have the ability to forage on glycans provided by the mucus layer covering the GI tract. The O-glycan structures present in mucin are diverse and complex, consisting predominantly of core 1-4 mucin-type O-glycans containing α- and β- linked N-acetyl-galactosamine, galactose and N-acetyl-glucosamine. These core structures are further elongated and frequently modified by fucose and sialic acid sugar residues via α1,2/3/4 and α2,3/6 linkages, respectively. The ability to metabolize these mucin O-linked oligosaccharides is likely to be a key factor in determining which bacterial species colonize the mucosal surface. Due to their proximity to the immune system, mucin-degrading bacteria are in a prime location to influence the host response. However, despite the growing number of bacterial genome sequences available from mucin degraders, our knowledge on the structural requirements for mucin degradation by gut bacteria remains fragmented. This is largely due to the limited number of functionally characterized enzymes and the lack of studies correlating the specificity of these enzymes with the ability of the strain to degrade and utilize mucin and mucin glycans. This review focuses on recent findings unraveling the molecular strategies used by mucin-degrading bacteria to utilize host glycans, adapt to the mucosal environment, and influence human health.
