Growth media selection alters the proteome profiles of three model microorganisms.

ABSTRACT: The selection of growth media is a very important consideration of any cell-based proteomics experiment. Alterations thereof may result in differences in basal proteomes simply due to disparities in the metabolite composition of the media. We investigate the effect of growth media on the proteomes of three microorganisms, specifically E. coli, S. cerevisiae, and S. pombe, using tandem mass tag (TMT)-based quantitative proteomics. We compared the protein abundance profiles of these microorganisms propagated in two distinct growth media that are commonly used for the respective organism. Our sample preparation strategy included SP3 bead-assisted protein isolation and digestion. In addition, we assembled a replicate set of samples in which we altered the proteolytic digestion from sequential treatment with LysC and trypsin to only LysC. Despite differences in peptides identified and a drop in quantified proteins, the results were similar between the two datasets for all three microorganisms. Approximately 10% of the proteins of each respective microorganism were significantly altered in each dataset. As expected, gene ontology analysis revealed that the majority of differentially expressed proteins are implicated in metabolism. These data emphasize further the importance and the potential consequences of growth media selection. SIGNIFICANCE: Various microorganisms are used as model systems throughout in biological studies, including proteomics-based investigations. The growth conditions of these organisms are of utmost importance, of which one major consideration is the choice of growth media. We hypothesize that growth media selection has a considerable impact on the baseline proteome of a given microorganism. To test this hypothesis, we used tandem mass tag (TMT)-based quantitative multiplexed proteomics to profile the proteomes of E. coli, S. cerevisiae, and S. pombe each grown in two different, yet common, growth media for the respective species. Our data show that approximately 10% of the proteins of each respective microorganism were significantly altered and that many of the differentially expressed proteins are implicated in metabolism. We provide several datasets which are potentially valuable for growth media selection with respect to downstream biochemical analysis.

Project description:Plant growth-promoting microbes (PGPM) play vital roles in maintaining crop fitness and soil health in stressed environments. Research have included analysis-based cultivation of soil-microbial-plant relationships to clarify microbiota potential. The goal of the research was to (i) evaluate the symbiotic microorganism effects on tomato seedling fitness under stressed conditions simulating a fragile soil susceptible to degradation; (ii) compare the plant-microbial interactions after inoculation with microbial isolates and fungi-bacteria consortia; (iii) develop an effective crop-microbial network, which improves soil and plant status. The experimental design included non-inoculated treatments with peat and sand at ratios of 50:50, 70:30, 100:0 (v:v), inoculated treatments with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and Azospirillum brasilense (AZ) using the aforementioned peat:sand ratios; and treatment with peat co-inoculated with AMF and Saccharothrix tamanrassetensis (S). AMF + AZ increased root fresh weight in peat substrate compared to the control (4.4 to 3.3 g plant-1). An increase in shoot fresh weight was detected in the AMF + AZ treatment with a 50:50 peat:sand ratio (10.1 to 8.5 g plant-1). AMF + AZ reduced antioxidant activity (DPPH) (18-34%) in leaves, whereas AMF + S had the highest DPPH in leaves and roots (45%). Total leaf phenolic content was higher in control with a decreased proportion of peat. Peroxidase activity was enhanced in AMF + AZ and AMF + S treatments, except for AMF + AZ in peat. Microscopic root assays revealed the ability of AMF to establish strong fungal-tomato symbiosis; the colonization rate was 78-89%. AMF + AZ accelerated K and Mg accumulation in tomato leaves in treatments reflecting soil stress. To date, there has been no relevant information regarding the successful AMF and Saccharothrix co-inoculation relationship. This study confirmed that AMF + S could increase the P, S, and Fe status of seedlings under high organic C content conditions. The improved tomato growth and nutrient acquisition demonstrated the potential of PGPM colonization under degraded soil conditions.

Project description:Several mathematical formulations have analyzed the time-dependent behaviour of a tumor mass. However, most of these propose simplifications that compromise the physical soundness of the model. Here, multiphase porous media mechanics is extended to model tumor evolution, using governing equations obtained via the Thermodynamically Constrained Averaging Theory (TCAT). A tumor mass is treated as a multiphase medium composed of an extracellular matrix (ECM); tumor cells (TC), which may become necrotic depending on the nutrient concentration and tumor phase pressure; healthy cells (HC); and an interstitial fluid (IF) for the transport of nutrients. The equations are solved by a Finite Element method to predict the growth rate of the tumor mass as a function of the initial tumor-to-healthy cell density ratio, nutrient concentration, mechanical strain, cell adhesion and geometry. Results are shown for three cases of practical biological interest such as multicellular tumor spheroids (MTS) and tumor cords. First, the model is validated by experimental data for time-dependent growth of an MTS in a culture medium. The tumor growth pattern follows a biphasic behaviour: initially, the rapidly growing tumor cells tend to saturate the volume available without any significant increase in overall tumor size; then, a classical Gompertzian pattern is observed for the MTS radius variation with time. A core with necrotic cells appears for tumor sizes larger than 150 ?m, surrounded by a shell of viable tumor cells whose thickness stays almost constant with time. A formula to estimate the size of the necrotic core is proposed. In the second case, the MTS is confined within a healthy tissue. The growth rate is reduced, as compared to the first case - mostly due to the relative adhesion of the tumor and healthy cells to the ECM, and the less favourable transport of nutrients. In particular, for tumor cells adhering less avidly to the ECM, the healthy tissue is progressively displaced as the malignant mass grows, whereas tumor cell infiltration is predicted for the opposite condition. Interestingly, the infiltration potential of the tumor mass is mostly driven by the relative cell adhesion to the ECM. In the third case, a tumor cord model is analyzed where the malignant cells grow around microvessels in a 3D geometry. It is shown that tumor cells tend to migrate among adjacent vessels seeking new oxygen and nutrient. This model can predict and optimize the efficacy of anticancer therapeutic strategies. It can be further developed to answer questions on tumor biophysics, related to the effects of ECM stiffness and cell adhesion on tumor cell proliferation.
