Redox controls metabolic robustness in the gas-fermenting acetogen Clostridium autoethanogenum.

Project description:Living biological systems display a fascinating ability to self-organize their metabolism. This ability ultimately determines the metabolic robustness that is fundamental to controlling cellular behavior. However, fluctuations in metabolism can affect cellular homeostasis through transient oscillations. For example, yeast cultures exhibit rhythmic oscillatory behavior in high cell-density continuous cultures. Oscillatory behavior provides a unique opportunity for quantitating the robustness of metabolism, as cells respond to changes by inherently compromising metabolic efficiency. Here, we quantify the limits of metabolic robustness in self-oscillating autotrophic continuous cultures of the gas-fermenting acetogen Clostridium autoethanogenum Online gas analysis and high-resolution temporal metabolomics showed oscillations in gas uptake rates and extracellular byproducts synchronized with biomass levels. The data show initial growth on CO, followed by growth on CO and H2 Growth on CO and H2 results in an accelerated growth phase, after which a downcycle is observed in synchrony with a loss in H2 uptake. Intriguingly, oscillations are not linked to translational control, as no differences were observed in protein expression during oscillations. Intracellular metabolomics analysis revealed decreasing levels of redox ratios in synchrony with the cycles. We then developed a thermodynamic metabolic flux analysis model to investigate whether regulation in acetogens is controlled at the thermodynamic level. We used endo- and exo-metabolomics data to show that the thermodynamic driving force of critical reactions collapsed as H2 uptake is lost. The oscillations are coordinated with redox. The data indicate that metabolic oscillations in acetogen gas fermentation are controlled at the thermodynamic level.

Absolute Proteome Quantification in the Gas-Fermenting Acetogen Clostridium autoethanogenum.

Project description:Microbes that can recycle one-carbon (C1) greenhouse gases into fuels and chemicals are vital for the biosustainability of future industries. Acetogens are the most efficient known microbes for fixing carbon oxides CO2 and CO. Understanding proteome allocation is important for metabolic engineering as it dictates metabolic fitness. Here, we use absolute proteomics to quantify intracellular concentrations for >1,000 proteins in the model acetogen Clostridium autoethanogenum grown autotrophically on three gas mixtures (CO, CO+H2, or CO+CO2+H2). We detect the prioritization of proteome allocation for C1 fixation and the significant expression of proteins involved in the production of acetate and ethanol as well as proteins with unclear functions. The data also revealed which isoenzymes are likely relevant in vivo for CO oxidation, H2 metabolism, and ethanol production. The integration of proteomic and metabolic flux data demonstrated that enzymes catalyze high fluxes with high concentrations and high in vivo catalytic rates. We show that flux adjustments were dominantly accompanied by changing enzyme catalytic rates rather than concentrations. IMPORTANCE Acetogen bacteria are important for maintaining biosustainability as they can recycle gaseous C1 waste feedstocks (e.g., industrial waste gases and syngas from gasified biomass or municipal solid waste) into fuels and chemicals. Notably, the acetogen Clostridium autoethanogenum is being used as a cell factory in industrial-scale gas fermentation. Here, we perform reliable absolute proteome quantification for the first time in an acetogen. This is important as our work advances both rational metabolic engineering of acetogen cell factories and accurate in silico reconstruction of their phenotypes. Furthermore, this absolute proteomics data set serves as a reference toward a better systems-level understanding of the ancient metabolism of acetogens.

Autotrophic adaptive laboratory evolution of the acetogen Clostridium autoethanogenum delivers the gas-fermenting strain LAbrini with superior growth, products, and robustness

Project description:Microbes able to convert gaseous one-carbon (C1) waste feedstocks are increasingly important to transition to the sustainable production of renewable chemicals and fuels. Acetogens are interesting biocatalysts since gas fermentation using Clostridium autoethanogenum has been commercialised. However, most acetogen strains need complex nutrients, display slow growth, and are not robust for bioreactor fermentations. In this work, we used three different and independent adaptive laboratory evolution (ALE) strategies to evolve the wild-type C. autoethanogenum to grow faster, without yeast extract and to be robust in operating continuous bioreactor cultures. Multiple evolved strains with improved phenotypes were isolated on minimal media with one strain, named “LAbrini”, exhibiting superior performance regarding the maximum specific growth rate, product profile, and robustness in continuous cultures. Whole-genome sequencing of the evolved strains identified 25 mutations. Of particular interest are two genes that acquired seven different mutations across the three ALE strategies, potentially as a result of convergent evolution. Reverse genetic engineering of mutations in potentially sporulation-related genes CLAU_3129 (spo0A) and CLAU_1957 recovered all three superior features of our ALE strains through triggering significant proteomic rearrangements. This work provides a robust C. autoethanogenum strain “LAbrini” to accelerate phenotyping and genetic engineering and to better understand acetogen metabolism.

Redox controls metabolic robustness in the gas-fermenting acetogen Clostridium autoethanogenum

Project description:Living biological systems display a fascinating ability to self-organise their metabolism. This ability ultimately determines metabolic robustness that is fundamental to control cellular behaviour. However, fluctuations in metabolism can affect cellular homeostasis through transient oscillations. For example, yeast cultures exhibit rhythmic oscillatory behaviour in high-cell density continuous cultures. Oscillatory behaviour provides a unique opportunity for quantitating the robustness of metabolism, as cells respond to changes by inherently compromising metabolic efficiency. Here, we quantify the limits of metabolic robustness in self-oscillating autotrophic continuous cultures of the gas-fermenting acetogen Clostridium autoethanogenum. On-line gas analysis and high-resolution temporal metabolomics showed oscillations in gas uptake rates and extracellular by-products synchronised with biomass levels. Loss of H2 uptake makes CO the sole carbon and energy source until cells recover uptake of H2 in synchrony with increasing biomass levels. Intriguingly, oscillations are not linked to translational control as no differences were observed in protein expression during oscillations. However, intracellular metabolomics analysis revealed decreasing levels of redox ratios in perfect synchrony with the cycles. Therefore, we developed a thermodynamic metabolic flux analysis (tMFA) model to investigate if regulation in acetogens is controlled at the thermodynamic level. The data shows that the feasible range for the thermodynamic driving force of the Nfn transhydrogenase complex (i.e. NADH/NAD+×NADP+/NADPH) closely matched the experimentally observed range. The data indicate that metabolic oscillations in gas fermentation acetogens are controlled at the thermodynamic level. Our work suggests thermodynamic control of metabolism, potentially contributing to metabolic efficiency and working as a mean of energy conservation.

Development of a genetic engineering toolbox for syngas-utilizing acetogen Clostridium sp. AWRP.

Project description:BackgroundClostridium sp. AWRP (AWRP) is a novel acetogenic bacterium isolated under high partial pressure of carbon monoxide (CO) and can be one of promising candidates for alcohol production from carbon oxides. Compared to model strains such as C. ljungdahlii and C. autoethanogenum, however, genetic manipulation of AWRP has not been established, preventing studies on its physiological characteristics and metabolic engineering.ResultsWe were able to demonstrate the genetic domestication of AWRP, including transformation of shuttle plasmids, promoter characterization, and genome editing. From the conjugation experiment with E. coli S17-1, among the four replicons tested (pCB102, pAMβ1, pIP404, and pIM13), three replicated in AWRP but pCB102 was the only one that could be transferred by electroporation. DNA methylation in E. coli significantly influenced transformation efficiencies in AWRP: the highest transformation efficiencies (102-103 CFU/µg) were achieved with unmethylated plasmid DNA. Determination of strengths of several clostridial promoters enabled the establishment of a CRISPR/Cas12a genome editing system based on Acidaminococcus sp. BV3L6 cas12a gene; interestingly, the commonly used CRISPR/Cas9 system did not work in AWRP, although it expressed the weakest promoter (C. acetobutylicum Pptb) tested. This system was successfully employed for the single gene deletion (xylB and pyrE) and double deletion of two prophage gene clusters.ConclusionsThe presented genome editing system allowed us to achieve several genome manipulations, including double deletion of two large prophage groups. The genetic toolbox developed in this study will offer a chance for deeper studies on Clostridium sp. AWRP for syngas fermentation and carbon dioxide (CO2) sequestration.
