HTCC1062 glucose versus no carbon log phase

ABSTRACT: The primary goal of this experiment is to examine the transcription profiles of HTCC1062 when grown in the presence or absence of D-glucose (30uM final concentration). Experiment confirmed activity of predicted glycolysis operon. Three biological replicates of HTCC1062 grown on glucose (30uM final conc) were compared to three biological replicate control treatments of HTCC1062 grown without glucose in the media.

Bacteria in the SAR11 clade are highly abundant in marine surface waters, but currently little is known about the carbon compounds that support these large heterotrophic populations. To better understand the carbon requirements of these organisms, we conducted a multiphasic exploration of carbohydrate utilization among SAR11 isolates from the Northeast Pacific Ocean and the Sargasso Sea. A comparison of three SAR11 genomes showed they all lacked a recognizable PTS system, the oxidative portion o ...[more]

Project description:Candidatus Pelagibacter ubique is the most abundant marine microorganism, but is unable to utilize inorganic sulfur compounds that are plentiful in the ocean. To investigate how these cells adapt to organic sulfur limitation, batch cultures were grown in defined media containing either limiting or non-limiting amounts of dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP) as the sole sulfur source. Protein and mRNA expression were measured during exponential growth, immediately prior to stationary phase, and in late stationary phase. Two distinct responses were observed: one as DMSP approached exhaustion, and another after the DMSP supply was depleted. The first response was characterized by increased transcription and translation of all Ca. P. ubique genes downstream of previously confirmed S-adenosyl methionine (SAM) riboswitches: bhmT, mmuM, and metY. These genes were up to 33 times more abundant during low DMSP conditions and shunt all available sulfur to methionine. The osmotically inducible organic hydroperoxidase OsmC was the most up-regulated protein as DMSP (an osmolyte) became scarce. The second response, during sulfur-depleted stationary phase, saw increased transcription of the heme c shuttle ccmC and two small genes of unknown function (SAR11_1163 and SAR11_1164) which were 6-10 times higher in sulfur-starved cultures. No known membrane transporters were up-regulated in response to sulfur limitation, suggesting that this bacterium's strategy for coping with sulfur stress focuses on intracellularly redistributing, rather than importing, organic sulfur compounds. This supports the conclusion that the few organosulfur molecules that Ca. P. ubique is able to metabolize are rarely limiting in the marine environment. Batch cultures of P. ubique were grown in a defined arificial seawater media. Five cultures were amended with a limiting concentration of DMSP as the sole sulfur source and another four control cultures were amended with a non-limiting DMSP concentration. Cultures were harvested for microarray analyses at multiple timepoints for the purpose of observing differences in gene expression related to sulfur limitation. Proteomic analyses were conducted in parallel and are available at https://www.ebi.ac.uk/pride/archive/projects/PXD003672 .

Project description:Nitrogen is one of the major nutrients limiting microbial productivity in the ocean, and as a result marine microorganisms have evolved specialized systems for responding to nitrogen stress. The highly abundant alphaproteobacterium Candidatus Pelagibacter ubique lacks the canonical GlnB, GlnD, and NtrB/NtrC genes for regulating nitrogen assimilation. A survey of 127 Alphaproteobacteria genomes found these genes to be highly represented in free-living and pathogenic organisms with large genomes and only missing in a subset of obligate intracellular organisms and other SAR11 strains. We examined global differences in mRNA and protein expression in Ca. P. ubique strain HTCC1062 during nitrogen-limited and nitrogen-replete stationary phase to understand how this thriving organism responds to nitrogen limitation. Transporters for ammonium (AmtB), taurine (TauA), amino acids (YhdW), and opines (OccT) were all elevated in nitrogen-limited cells, indicating they devote increased resources to the assimilation of nitrogenous compounds. Enzymes for assimilating amine into glutamine (GlnA) and glutamate (AspC, GltBD) were similarly up-regulated. Differential regulation of the transcriptional regulator NtrX in the two-component signaling system NtrY/NtrX was also observed, implicating it in the control of the nitrogen starvation response. Comparisons of the transcriptome and proteome suggest that Amt is post-transcriptionally repressed during nitrogen limitation, supporting previous studies that computationally identified a novel cis-acting riboswitch upstream of this gene. These observations support the conclusion that Ca. P. ubique has an unusually simple regulatory system that enables it to increase its capacity for the uptake of nitrogenous compounds in response to nitrogen limitation. Batch cultures of P. ubique were grown in a defined arificial seawater media. Three cultures were given no nitrogen amendment, and three other cultures received an excess concentration of NH3. Cultures were harvested for microarray analyses during log and stationary phase for the purpose of observing differences in gene expression related to nitrogen limitation. Proteomic analysis was conducted in parallel and is available at http://omics.pnl.gov .
