Alkaline anaerobic respiration: isolation and characterization of a novel alkaliphilic and metal-reducing bacterium.

Project description:Iron-reducing enrichments were obtained from leachate ponds at the U.S. Borax Company in Boron, Calif. Based on partial small-subunit (SSU) rRNA gene sequences (approximately 500 nucleotides), six isolates shared 98.9% nucleotide identity. As a representative, the isolate QYMF was selected for further analysis. QYMF could be grown with Fe(III)-citrate, Fe(III)-EDTA, Co(III)-EDTA, or Cr(VI) as electron acceptors, and yeast extract and lactate could serve as electron donors. Growth during iron reduction occurred over the pH range of 7.5 to 11.0 (optimum, pH 9.5), a sodium chloride range of 0 to 80 g/liter (optimum, 20 g/liter), and a temperature range of 4 to 45 degrees C (optimum, approximately 35 degrees C), and iron precipitates were formed. QYMF was a strict anaerobe that could be grown in the presence of borax, and the cells were straight rods that produced endospores. Sodium chloride and yeast extract stimulated growth. Phylogenetic analysis of the SSU rRNA gene indicated that the bacterium was a low-G+C gram-positive microorganism and had 96 and 92% nucleotide identity with Alkaliphilus transvaalensis and Alkaliphilus crotonatoxidans, respectively. The major phospholipid fatty acids were 14:1, 16:1omega7c, and 16:0, which were different from those of other alkaliphiles but similar to those of reported iron-reducing bacteria. The results demonstrated that the isolate might represent a novel metal-reducing alkaliphilic species. The name Alkaliphilus metalliredigens sp. nov. is proposed. The isolation and activity of metal-reducing bacteria from borax-contaminated leachate ponds suggest that bioremediation of metal-contaminated alkaline environments may be feasible and have implications for alkaline anaerobic respiration.

Selenite reduction by the obligate aerobic bacterium Comamonas testosteroni S44 isolated from a metal-contaminated soil.

Project description:BackgroundSelenium (Se) is an essential trace element in most organisms but has to be carefully handled since there is a thin line between beneficial and toxic concentrations. Many bacteria have the ability to reduce selenite (Se(IV)) and (or) selenate (Se(VI)) to red elemental selenium that is less toxic.ResultsA strictly aerobic bacterium, Comamonas testosteroni S44, previously isolated from metal(loid)-contaminated soil in southern China, reduced Se(IV) to red selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) with sizes ranging from 100 to 200 nm. Both energy dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDX or EDS) and EDS Elemental Mapping showed no element Se and SeNPs were produced inside cells whereas Se(IV) was reduced to red-colored selenium in the cytoplasmic fraction in presence of NADPH. Tungstate inhibited Se(VI) but not Se(IV) reduction, indicating the Se(IV)-reducing determinant does not contain molybdenum as co-factor. Strain S44 was resistant to multiple heavy and transition metal(loid)s such as Se(IV), As(III), Cu(II), and Cd(II) with minimal inhibitory concentrations (MIC) of 100 mM, 20 mM, 4 mM, and 0.5 mM, respectively. Disruption of iscR encoding a transcriptional regulator negatively impacted cellular growth and subsequent resistance to multiple heavy metal(loid)s.ConclusionsC. testosteroni S44 could be very useful for bioremediation in heavy metal(loid) polluted soils due to the ability to both reduce toxic Se(VI) and Se(IV) to non-toxic Se (0) under aerobic conditions and to tolerate multiple heavy and transition metals. IscR appears to be an activator to regulate genes involved in resistance to heavy or transition metal(loid)s but not for genes responsible for Se(IV) reduction.

The Heavy-Metal Resistance Determinant of Newly Isolated Bacterium from a Nickel-Contaminated Soil in Southwest Slovakia.

Project description:A bacterial isolate MR-CH-I2 [KC809939] isolated from soil contaminated mainly by high nickel concentrations in southwest Slovakia was previously found carrying nccA-like heavy-metal resistance determinant, marked as MR-CH-I2-HMR [KF218096]. According to phylogenetic analysis of short (696 bp) 16S rDNA (16S rRNA) sequences this bacterium was tentatively assigned to Uncultured beta proteobacterium clone GC0AA7ZA05PP1 [JQ913301]. nccA-like gene product was on the same base of its partial (581 bp) sequences tentatively assigned to CzcA family heavy metal efflux pump [YP_001899332] from Ralstonia picketii 12J with 99% similarity. In this study the bacterium MR-CH-I2 and its heavy-metal resistance determinant were more precisely identified. This bacterial isolate was on the base of phylogenetic analysis of almost the whole (1,500 bp) 16S rDNA (16S rRNA) sequence, MR-CH-I2 [MF102046], and sequence for gyrB gene and its product respectively, MR-CH-I2-gyrB [MF134666], assigned to R. picketii 12J [CP001068] with 99 and 100% similarities, respectively. In addition, the whole nccA-like heavy-metal resistance gene sequence (3,192 bp), marked as MR-CH-I2-nccA [KR476581], was obtained and on the base of phylogenetic analysis its assignment was confirmed to MULTISPECIES: cation efflux system protein CzcA [WP_004635342] from Burkholderiaceae with 98% similarity. Furthermore, although the bacterium carried one high molecular plasmid of about 50 kb in size, nccA-like gene was not located on this plasmid. Finally, the results from RT-PCR analysis showed that MR-CH-I2-nccA gene was significantly induced only by the addition of nickel.

pGIAK1, a heavy metal resistant plasmid from an obligate alkaliphilic and halotolerant bacterium isolated from the Antarctic Concordia station confined environment.

Project description:pGIAK1 is a 38-kb plasmid originating from the obligate alkaliphilic and halotolerant Bacillaceae strain JMAK1. The strain was originally isolated from the confined environments of the Antarctic Concordia station. Analysis of the pGIAK1 38,362-bp sequence revealed that, in addition to its replication region, this plasmid contains the genetic determinants for cadmium and arsenic resistances, putative methyltransferase, tyrosine recombinase, spore coat protein and potassium transport protein, as well as several hypothetical proteins. Cloning the pGIAK1 cad operon in Bacillus cereus H3081.97 and its ars operon in Bacillus subtilis 1A280 conferred to these hosts cadmium and arsenic resistances, respectively, therefore confirming their bona fide activities. The pGIAK1 replicon region was also shown to be functional in Bacillus thuringiensis, Bacillus subtilis and Staphylococcus aureus, but was only stably maintained in B. subtilis. Finally, using an Escherichia coli - B. thuringiensis shuttle BAC vector, pGIAK1 was shown to display conjugative properties since it was able to transfer the BAC plasmid among B. thuringiensis strains.

Novel Cesium Resistance Mechanism of Alkaliphilic Bacterium Isolated From Jumping Spider Ground Extract.

Project description:The radionuclide isotopes (134Cs and 137Cs) of Cesium (Cs), an alkali metal, are attracting attention as major causes of radioactive contamination. Although Cs+ is harmful to the growth of plants and bacteria, alkaliphilic bacterium Microbacterium sp. TS-1, isolated from a jumping spider, showed growth even in the presence of 1.2 M CsCl. The maximum concentration of Cs+ that microorganisms can withstand has been reported to be 700 mM till date, suggesting that the strain TS-1 is resistant to a high concentration of Cs ions. Multiple reports of cesium ion-resistant bacteria have been reported, but the detailed mechanism has not yet been elucidated. We obtained Cs ion-sensitive mutants and their revertant mutants from strain TS-1 and identified a Cs ion resistance-related gene, MTS1_00475, by performing SNP analysis of the whole-genome sequence data. When exposed to more than 200 mM Cs+ concentration, the intracellular Cs+ concentration was constantly lowered by MTS1_00475, which encodes the novel low-affinity Cs+/H+ antiporter. This study is the first to clarify the mechanism of cesium resistance in unexplained cesium-resistant microorganisms. By clarifying the new cesium resistance mechanism, it can be expected to be used as a bioremediation tool for treating radioactive Cs+ contaminated water.

Characterization of the surfaceome of the metal-reducing bacterium Desulfotomaculum reducens

Project description:Desulfotomaculum reducens strain MI-1 is a Gram-positive, sulfate-reducing bacterium also capable of reducing Fe(III). Metal reduction in Gram-positive bacteria is poorly understood. Here, we investigated Fe(III) reduction with lactate, a non-fermentable substrate, as the electron donor. Lactate consumption is concomitant to Fe(III) reduction, but does not support significant growth, suggesting that little energy can be conserved from this process and that it may occur fortuitously. D. reducens can reduce both soluble (Fe(III)-citrate) and insoluble (hydrous ferric oxide, HFO) Fe(III). Because physically inaccessible HFO was not reduced, we concluded that reduction requires direct contact under these experimental conditions. This implies the presence of a surface exposed reductase capable of transferring electrons from the cell to the extracellular electron acceptor. With the goal of identifying candidate Fe(III) reductases, we carried out an investigation of the surface proteome (surfaceome) of D. reducens. Cell surface exposed proteins were extracted by trypsin cell shaving or by lysozyme treatment, and analyzed by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry.
