Transcription profiling of wild type G. sulfurreducens DL1 strain and mutant DLCN16 (delta-rpoS::Km) using fumarate as an electron acceptor

ABSTRACT: Wild type G. sulfurreducens DL1 strain (see Caccavo, F., Jr., D. J. Lonergan, D. R. Lovley, M. Davis, J. F. Stolz, and M. J. McInerney. 1994. Geobacter sulfurreducens sp. nov., a hydrogen- and acetate-oxidizing dissimilatory metal-reducing microorganism. Appl Environ Microbiol 60:3752-9. see also Coppi, M. V., C. Leang, S. J. Sandler, and D. R. Lovley. 2001. Development of a genetic system for Geobacter sulfurreducens. Appl Environ Microbiol 67:3180-7.) and DLCN16 mutant (.rpoS::Km) (see Nuñez, C., L. Adams, S. Childers, and D. R. Lovley. 2004. The RpoS sigma factor in the dissimilatory Fe(III)-reducing bacterium Geobacter sulfurreducens. J Bacteriol 186:5543-6.) were grown under anaerobic conditions at 30 °C in continuous culture with a 200 ml working volume as previously described (see Esteve-Nunez, A., M. Rothermich, M. Sharma, and D. Lovley. 2005. Growth of Geobacter sulfurreducens under nutrient-limiting conditions in continuous culture. Environ Microbiol 7:641-8.). Cells were cultured at a growth rate of 0.05 h-1, steady-state cell growth was obtained after 5 volume refills and was confirmed by a constant cell density and concentrations of fumarate and succinate. Acetate (5.5 mM) was the electron donor and the limiting substrate. The electron acceptor was fumarate (30mM). Three biological replicates of control and treatment cells were obtained to produce hybridizations for this experiment.

The regulon of the sigma factor RpoS was defined in Geobacter sulfurreducens by using a combination of DNA microarray expression profiles and proteomics. An rpoS mutant was examined under steady-state conditions with acetate as an electron donor and fumarate as an electron acceptor and with additional transcriptional profiling using Fe(III) as an electron acceptor. Expression analysis revealed that RpoS acts as both a positive and negative regulator. Many of the RpoS-dependent genes determined p ...[more]

Project description:Mahadevan2006 - Genome-scale metabolic network of Geobacter sulfurreducens (iRM588) This model is described in the article: Characterization of metabolism in the Fe(III)-reducing organism Geobacter sulfurreducens by constraint-based modeling. Mahadevan R, Bond DR, Butler JE, Esteve-Nuñez A, Coppi MV, Palsson BO, Schilling CH, Lovley DR. Appl. Environ. Microbiol. 2006 Feb; 72(2): 1558-1568 Abstract: Geobacter sulfurreducens is a well-studied representative of the Geobacteraceae, which play a critical role in organic matter oxidation coupled to Fe(III) reduction, bioremediation of groundwater contaminated with organics or metals, and electricity production from waste organic matter. In order to investigate G. sulfurreducens central metabolism and electron transport, a metabolic model which integrated genome-based predictions with available genetic and physiological data was developed via the constraint-based modeling approach. Evaluation of the rates of proton production and consumption in the extracellular and cytoplasmic compartments revealed that energy conservation with extracellular electron acceptors, such as Fe(III), was limited relative to that associated with intracellular acceptors. This limitation was attributed to lack of cytoplasmic proton consumption during reduction of extracellular electron acceptors. Model-based analysis of the metabolic cost of producing an extracellular electron shuttle to promote electron transfer to insoluble Fe(III) oxides demonstrated why Geobacter species, which do not produce shuttles, have an energetic advantage over shuttle-producing Fe(III) reducers in subsurface environments. In silico analysis also revealed that the metabolic network of G. sulfurreducens could synthesize amino acids more efficiently than that of Escherichia coli due to the presence of a pyruvate-ferredoxin oxidoreductase, which catalyzes synthesis of pyruvate from acetate and carbon dioxide in a single step. In silico phenotypic analysis of deletion mutants demonstrated the capability of the model to explore the flexibility of G. sulfurreducens central metabolism and correctly predict mutant phenotypes. These results demonstrate that iterative modeling coupled with experimentation can accelerate the understanding of the physiology of poorly studied but environmentally relevant organisms and may help optimize their practical applications.
