Project description:A Micromonospora strain, isolate MT25T, was recovered from a sediment collected from the Challenger Deep of the Mariana Trench using a selective isolation procedure. The isolate produced two major metabolites, n-acetylglutaminyl glutamine amide and desferrioxamine B, the chemical structures of which were determined using 1D and 2D-NMR, including 1H-15N HSQC and 1H-15N HMBC 2D-NMR, as well as high resolution MS. A whole genome sequence of the strain showed the presence of ten natural product-biosynthetic gene clusters, including one responsible for the biosynthesis of desferrioxamine B. Whilst 16S rRNA gene sequence analyses showed that the isolate was most closely related to the type strain of Micromonospora chalcea, a whole genome sequence analysis revealed it to be most closely related to Micromonospora tulbaghiae 45142T. The two strains were distinguished using a combination of genomic and phenotypic features. Based on these data, it is proposed that strain MT25T (NCIMB 15245T, TISTR 2834T) be classified as Micromonospora provocatoris sp. nov. Analysis of the genome sequence of strain MT25T (genome size 6.1 Mbp) revealed genes predicted to responsible for its adaptation to extreme environmental conditions that prevail in deep-sea sediments.

Project description:A novel piezophilic alphaproteobacterium, strain D4M1T , was isolated from deep seawater of the Mariana Trench. 16S rRNA gene analysis showed that strain D4M1T was most closely related to Oceanicella actignis PRQ-67T (94.2%), Oceanibium sediminis O448T (94.2%), and Thioclava electrotropha ElOx9T (94.1%). Phylogenetic analyses based on both 16S rRNA gene and genome sequences showed that strain D4M1T formed an independent monophyletic branch paralleled with the genus Oceanicella in the family Rhodobacteraceae. Cells were Gram-stain-negative, aerobic short rods, and grew optimally at 37°C, pH 6.5, and 3.0% (w/v) NaCl. Strain D4M1T was piezophilic with the optimum pressure of 10 MPa. The principal fatty acids were C18:1 ω7c/C18:1 ω6c and C16:0 , major respiratory quinone was ubiquinone-10, and predominant polar lipids were phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, and an unidentified aminophospholipid. The complete genome contained 5,468,583-bp with a G + C content of 70.2 mol% and contained 4,855 protein-coding genes and 78 RNA genes. Genomic analysis revealed abundant clues on bacterial high-pressure adaptation and piezophilic lifestyle. The combined evidence shows that strain D4M1T represents a novel species of a novel genus in the family Rhodobacteraceae, for which the name Paraoceanicella profunda gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed (type strain D4M1T = MCCC 1K03820T = KCTC 72285T ).

Project description:Two strains of obligately barophilic bacteria were isolated from a sample of the world's deepest sediment, which was obtained by the unmanned deep-sea submersible Kaiko in the Mariana Trench, Challenger Deep, at a depth of 10,898 m. From the results of phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences, DNA-DNA relatedness study, and analysis of fatty acid composition, the first strain (DB21MT-2) appears to be most highly similar to Shewanella benthica and close relatives, and the second strain (DB21MT-5) appears to be closely related to the genus Moritella. The optimal pressure conditions for growth of these isolates were 70 MPa for strain DB21MT-2 and 80 MPa for strain DB21MT-5, and no growth was detected at pressures of less than 50 MPa with either strain. This is the first evidence of the existence of an extreme-barophile bacterium of the genus Moritella isolated from the deep-sea environment.

Project description:Small amphipods (Halice sp. MT-2017) with body length <1 cm were collected from the Challenger Deep (~10,920 m below sea level). The divergence time of their lineage was approximately 109 Mya, making this group ancient compared to others under study. The mitochondrial genome of Halice sp. shared the usual gene components of metazoans, comprising 13 protein coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNAs (tRNAs), and 2 ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs). The arrangement of these genes, however, differed greatly from that of other amphipods. Of the 15 genes that were rearranged with respect to the pancrustacean gene pattern, 12 genes (2 PCGs, 2 rRNAs, and 8 tRNAs) were both translocated and strand-reversed. In contrast, the mitochondrial genomes in other amphipods never show so many reordered genes, and in most instances, only tRNAs were involved in strand-reversion-coupled translocation. Other characteristics, including reversed strand nucleotide composition bias, relatively higher composition of non-polar amino acids, and lower evolutionary rate, were also identified. Interestingly, the latter two features were shared with another hadal amphipod, Hirondellea gigas, suggesting their possible associations with the adaptation to deep-sea extreme habitats. Overall, our data provided a useful resource for future studies on the evolutionary and adaptive mechanisms of hadal faunas.

Project description:A novel, cold-adapted, and acid-base stable manganese superoxide dismutase (Ps-Mn-SOD) was cloned from hadal sea cucumber Paelopatides sp. The dimeric recombinant enzyme exhibited approximately 60 kDa in molecular weight, expressed activity from 0 °C to 70 °C with an optimal temperature of 0 °C, and resisted wide pH values from 2.2⁻13.0 with optimal activity (> 70%) at pH 5.0⁻12.0. The Km and Vmax of Ps-Mn-SOD were 0.0329 ± 0.0040 mM and 9112 ± 248 U/mg, respectively. At tested conditions, Ps-Mn-SOD was relatively stable in divalent metal ion and other chemicals, such as β-mercaptoethanol, dithiothreitol, Tween 20, Triton X-100, and Chaps. Furthermore, the enzyme showed striking stability in 5 M urea or 4 M guanidine hydrochloride, resisted digestion by proteases, and tolerated a high hydrostatic pressure of 100 MPa. The resistance of Ps-Mn-SOD against low temperature, extreme acidity and alkalinity, chemicals, proteases, and high pressure make it a potential candidate in biopharmaceutical and nutraceutical fields.

Project description:Dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP) and related organic sulfur compounds play key roles in global sulfur cycling. Bacteria have been found to be important DMSP producers in seawater and surface sediments of the aphotic Mariana Trench (MT). However, detailed bacterial DMSP cycling in the Mariana Trench subseafloor remains largely unknown. Here, the bacterial DMSP-cycling potential in a Mariana Trench sediment core (7.5 m in length) obtained at a 10,816-m water depth was investigated using culture-dependent and -independent methods. The DMSP content fluctuated along the sediment depth and reached the highest concentration at 15 to 18 cm below the seafloor (cmbsf). dsyB was the dominant known DMSP synthetic gene, existing in 0.36 to 1.19% of the bacteria, and was identified in the metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) of previously unknown bacterial DMSP synthetic groups such as Acidimicrobiia, Phycisphaerae, and Hydrogenedentia. dddP, dmdA, and dddX were the major DMSP catabolic genes. The DMSP catabolic activities of DddP and DddX retrieved from Anaerolineales MAGs were confirmed by heterologous expression, indicating that such anaerobic bacteria might participate in DMSP catabolism. Moreover, genes involved in methanethiol (MeSH) production from methylmercaptopropionate (MMPA) and dimethyl sulfide (DMS), MeSH oxidation, and DMS production were highly abundant, suggesting active conversions between different organic sulfur compounds. Finally, most culturable DMSP synthetic and catabolic isolates possessed no known DMSP synthetic and catabolic genes, and actinomycetes could be important groups involved in both DMSP synthesis and catabolism in Mariana Trench sediment. This study extends the current understanding of DMSP cycling in Mariana Trench sediment and highlights the need to uncover novel DMSP metabolic genes/pathways in extreme environments. IMPORTANCE Dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP) is an abundant organosulfur molecule in the ocean and is the precursor for the climate-active volatile gas dimethyl sulfide. Previous studies focused mainly on bacterial DMSP cycling in seawater, coastal sediment, and surface trench sediment samples, but DMSP metabolism in the Mariana Trench (MT) subseafloor sediments remains unknown. Here, we describe the DMSP content and metabolic bacterial groups in the subseafloor of the MT sediment. We found that the tendency for vertical variation of the DMSP content in the MT was distinct from that of the continent shelf sediment. Although dsyB and dddP were the dominant DMSP synthetic and catabolic genes in the MT sediment, respectively, both metagenomic and culture methods revealed multiple previously unknown DMSP metabolic bacterial groups, especially anaerobic bacteria and actinomycetes. The active conversion of DMSP, DMS, and methanethiol may also occur in the MT sediments. These results provide novel insights for understanding DMSP cycling in the MT.

Project description:BackgroundHadal trenches (>6000 m) are the deepest oceanic regions on Earth and depocenters for organic materials. However, how these enigmatic microbial ecosystems are fueled is largely unknown, particularly the proportional importance of complex polysaccharides introduced through deposition from the photic surface waters above. In surface waters, Bacteroidetes are keystone taxa for the cycling of various algal-derived polysaccharides and the flux of carbon through the photic zone. However, their role in the hadal microbial loop is almost unknown.ResultsHere, culture-dependent and culture-independent methods were used to study the potential of Bacteroidetes to catabolize diverse polysaccharides in Mariana Trench waters. Compared to surface waters, the bathypelagic (1000-4000 m) and hadal (6000-10,500 m) waters harbored distinct Bacteroidetes communities, with Mesoflavibacter being enriched at ≥ 4000 m and Bacteroides and Provotella being enriched at 10,400-10,500 m. Moreover, these deep-sea communities possessed distinct gene pools encoding for carbohydrate active enzymes (CAZymes), suggesting different polysaccharide sources are utilised in these two zones. Compared to surface counterparts, deep-sea Bacteroidetes showed significant enrichment of CAZyme genes frequently organized into polysaccharide utilization loci (PULs) targeting algal/plant cell wall polysaccharides (i.e., hemicellulose and pectin), that were previously considered an ecological trait associated with terrestrial Bacteroidetes only. Using a hadal Mesoflavibacter isolate (MTRN7), functional validation of this unique genetic potential was demonstrated. MTRN7 could utilize pectic arabinans, typically associated with land plants and phototrophic algae, as the carbon source under simulated deep-sea conditions. Interestingly, a PUL we demonstrate is likely horizontally acquired from coastal/land Bacteroidetes was activated during growth on arabinan and experimentally shown to encode enzymes that hydrolyze arabinan at depth.ConclusionsOur study implies that hadal Bacteroidetes exploit polysaccharides poorly utilized by surface populations via an expanded CAZyme gene pool. We propose that sinking cell wall debris produced in the photic zone can serve as an important carbon source for hadal heterotrophs and play a role in shaping their communities and metabolism.

Project description:Recently, several reports showed that n-alkanes were abundant in the hadal zone, suggesting that n-alkanes could be an important source of nutrients for microorganisms in hadal ecosystems. To date, most of the published studies on the microbial capacity to degrade hydrocarbons were conducted only at atmospheric temperature and pressure (0.1 MPa), and little is known about whether and which microbes could utilize n-alkanes at in situ environmental conditions in the hadal zone, including low temperature and high hydrostatic pressure (especially >30 MPa). In this study, a piezotolerant bacterium, strain C2-1, was isolated from a Mariana Trench sediment at depth of 5,800 m. Strain C2-1 was able to grow at in situ temperature (4°C) and pressure (58 MPa) with n-alkanes as the sole carbon source. Phylogenetically, strain C2-1 and related strains (TMPB967, ST750PaO-4, IMCC1826, and TTBP476) should be classified into the genus Venatorbacter. Metagenomic analysis using ~5,000 publicly available datasets showed that Venatorbacter has a wide environmental distribution in seawater (38), marine sediments (3), hydrothermal vent plumes (2), Antarctic ice (1), groundwater (13), and marine sponge ecosystems (1). Most Venatorbacter species are non-obligate n-alkane degraders that could utilize, at a minimal, C16-C18 n-alkanes, as well as other different types of carbon substrates, including carbohydrates, amino acids, peptides, and phospholipids. The type II secretion system, extracellular proteases, phospholipase, and endonuclease of Venatorbacter species were robustly expressed in the metatranscriptomes of deep-sea hydrothermal vents, suggesting their important contribution to secondary productivity by degrading extracellular macromolecules. The identification of denitrifying genes suggested a genus-specific ecological potential that allowed Venatorbacter species to be active in anoxic environments, e.g., the oxygen-minimal zone (OMZ) and the deeply buried marine sediments. Our results show that Venatorbacter species are responsible for the degradation of hydrocarbon and extracellular macromolecules, suggesting that they may play an important role in the biogeochemistry process in the Trench ecosystems.
