Evolution of bacterial consortia in spontaneously started rye sourdoughs during two months of daily propagation.

ABSTRACT: The evolution of bacterial consortia was studied in six semi-solid rye sourdoughs during long-term backslopping at different temperatures. Each rye sourdough was started spontaneously in a laboratory (dough yield 200), propagated at either 20°C or 30°C, and renewed daily at an inoculation rate of 1?10 for 56 days. The changes in bacterial diversity over time were followed by both DGGE coupled with partial 16S rRNA gene sequencing and pyrosequencing of bar-coded 16S rRNA gene amplicons. Four species from the genus Lactobacillus (brevis, crustorum, plantarum, and paralimentarius) were detected in different combinations in all sourdoughs after 56 propagation cycles. Facultative heterofermentative lactic acid bacteria dominated in sourdoughs fermented at 30°C, while both obligate and facultative heterofermentative LAB were found to dominate in sourdoughs fermented at 20°C. After 56 propagation cycles, Kazachstania unispora (formerly Saccharomyces unisporus) was identified as the only yeast species that dominated in sourdoughs fermented at 20°C, while different combinations of strains from four yeast species (Kazachstania unispora, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Candida krusei and Candida glabrata) were detected in sourdoughs propagated at 30°C. The evolution of bacterial communities in sourdoughs fermented at the same temperature did not follow the same time course and changes in the composition of dominant and subdominant bacterial communities occurred even after six weeks of backslopping.

Project description:Sourdoughs (SDs) are spontaneously formed microbial ecosystems composed of various species of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and acid-tolerant yeasts in food matrices of cereal flours mixed with water. To date, more than 90 LAB species have been isolated, significantly impacting the organoleptic characteristics, shelf life, and health properties of bakery products. To learn more about the unique bacterial communities involved in creating regional Bulgarian sourdoughs, we examined the metacommunities of five sourdoughs produced by spontaneous fermentation and maintained by backslopping in bakeries from three geographic locations. The 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing showed that the former genus Lactobacillus was predominant in the studied sourdoughs (51.0-78.9%). Weissella (0.9-42.8%), Herbaspirillum (1.6-3.8%), Serratia (0.1-11.7%), Pediococcus (0.2-7.5%), Bacteroides (0.1-1.3%), and Sphingomonas (0.1-0.5%) were also found in all 5 samples. Genera Leuconostoc, Enterococcus, Bacillus, and Asaia were sample-specific. It is interesting to note that the genus Weissella was more abundant in wholegrain samples. The greatest diversity at the species level was found in the former genus Lactobacillus, presented in the sourdough samples with 13 species. The UPGMA cluster analysis clearly demonstrated similarity in species' relative abundance between samples from the same location. In addition, we can conclude that the presence of two main clusters-one including samples from mountainous places (the cities of Smolyan and Bansko) and the other including samples from the city of Ruse (the banks of the Danube River)-may indicate the impact of climate and geographic location (e.g., terrain, elevation, land use, and nearby water bodies and their streams) on the abundance of microbiome taxa. As the bacterial population is crucial for bread standardization, we expect the local bakery sector to be interested in the relationship between process variables and their effect on bacterial dynamics described in this research study.

Project description:This dataset contains transcription profiles of TOP10 E.coli transformed with 85 rewired network plasmids first described in: Evolvability and hierarchy in rewired bacterial gene networks. Nature 452:840-5 (2008). The data are described and analysed in an accompanying paper Baumstark et al.,The propagation of perturbations in shuffled bacterial gene networks (Submitted, 2015). 260 raw data microarrays are provided in total, representing biological triplicates (a,b and c; independent colonies grown from the same transformation, under standard growth conditions; LB, 16h). This is done for each of 255 promoter-ORF constructs (e.g. appY-crp, etc.) and 5 control construct microarrays (empty plasmid; Co). Co controls are provided for comparison, to show the relative effect of the rewiring genetic perturbation. The final processed data compares the number of perturbed genes, comparing between the average expression values of each rewired construct and Co. Methods: The 85 rewiring plasmids (Isalan et al, 2008) were transformed into E. coli TOP10 cells and grown under standardised conditions: bacteria were freshly plated onto LB Agar plates (with 100 μg/ml Ampicillin and 50 μg/ml Streptomycin) and incubated overnight at 37oC to form colonies. Single colonies (<3 days old) were used to inoculate 2 ml of LB in 14 ml culture tubes, containing 100 μg/ml Ampicillin and 50 μg/ml Streptomycin. Constructs were grown for 16h at 37oC, at 220 rpm in an orbital shaker. 10 μg of extracted total bacterial RNA (integrity number > 7.0) was used with Affymetrix GeneChip E. coli Genome 2.0 Arrays. Key to names: RAW DATA samples 1-260 _Co_1a.CEL = Control Co, colony a _Co_1b.CEL = Control Co, colony b etc. appY_O_30a.CEL = appY-promoter only, colony a appY_O_30b.CEL = appY-promoter only, colony b etc. appY_crp_34a.CEL = rewired construct, appY-promoter expressing crp ORF, colony a appY_crp_34b.CEL = rewired construct, appY-promoter expressing crp ORF, colony b appY_crp_34b.CEL = rewired construct, appY-promoter expressing crp ORF, colony c etc. PROCESSED DATA sample 261: probe_set_expression_value_norm_all - normalised data for all samples, for all E. coli K12 genes sample 262: probe_set_expression_value_norm_MG1655 - normalised data for all samples, for E. coli MG1655 subset of genes

Project description:Motile phototrophic consortia are highly regular associations in which numerous cells of green sulfur bacteria surround a flagellated colorless beta-proteobacterium in the center. To date, seven different morphological types of such consortia have been described. In addition, two immotile associations involving green sulfur bacteria are known. By employing a culture-independent approach, different types of phototrophic consortia were mechanically isolated by micromanipulation from 14 freshwater environments, and partial 16S rRNA gene sequences of the green sulfur bacterial epibionts were determined. In the majority of the lakes investigated, different types of phototrophic consortia were found to co-occur. In all cases, phototrophic consortia with the same morphology from the same habitat contained only a single epibiont phylotype. However, morphologically indistinguishable phototrophic consortia collected from different lakes contained different epibionts. Overall, 19 different types of epibionts were detected in the present study. Whereas the epibionts within one geographic region were very similar (Dice coefficient, 0.582), only two types of epibionts were found to occur on both the European and North American continents (Dice coefficient, 0.190). None of the epibiont 16S rRNA gene sequences have been detected so far in free-living green sulfur bacteria, suggesting that the interaction between epibionts and chemotrophic bacteria in the phototrophic consortia is an obligate interaction. Based on our phylogenetic analysis, the epibiont sequences are not monophyletic. Thus, the ability to form symbiotic associations either arose independently from different ancestors or was present in a common ancestor prior to the radiation of green sulfur bacteria and the transition to the free-living state in independent lineages. The present study thus demonstrates that there is great diversity and nonrandom geographical distribution of phototrophic consortia in the natural environment.
