Carrageenan catabolism is conferred by a complex regulon in marine heterotrophic bacteria

ABSTRACT: Macroalgae contribute substantially to primary production in coastal ecosystems. Their biomass, mainly consisting of polysaccharides, is cycled into the environment by marine heterotrophic bacteria (MHB), using largely uncharacterized mechanisms. In Zobellia galactanivorans, we discovered and characterized the complete catabolic pathway for carrageenans, major cell wall polysaccharides of red macroalgae, providing a model system for carrageenan utilization by MHB. We further demonstrate that carrageenan catabolism relies on a multifaceted carrageenan-induced regulon, including a non-canonical polysaccharide utilization locus (PUL) and several distal genes. The genetic structure of the carrageenan utilization system is well conserved in marine Bacteroidetes, but modified in other MHB phyla. The core system is completed by additional functions which can be assumed by non-orthologous genes in different species. This complex genetic structure is due to multiple evolutionary events including gene duplications and horizontal gene transfers. These results allow for an extension on the definition of bacterial PUL-mediated polysaccharide digestion.

Exploring the conversion of different Xylans by the marine Bacteroidetes Flavimarina sp. Hel_I_48

Project description:Bacteroidetes have multiple polysaccharide utilization loci (PUL) which are specific for the decomposition of polysaccharides. The marine Bacteroidetes strain Flavimarina sp. Hel_I_48 encodes two separate PULs which target xylose-containing polysaccharides. We elucidated the specificity of these two PULs by correlating proteome data with biochemical activities of the encoded carbohydrate active enzymes. Proteomics revealed that one PUL targets glucuronoxylans whereas the other PUL targets arabinoxylans.

Biphasic polysaccharide metabolism of Alteromonas macleodii 83-1 analyzed by RNA-Seq

Project description:Polysaccharides from macroalgae are important bacterial nutrient source and central biogeochemical component in the oceans. To illuminate the cellular mechanisms of polysaccharide degradation by marine bacteria, growth of Alteromonas macleodii 83-1 on a mix of laminarin, alginate and pectin was characterized using transcriptomics, proteomics and exometabolomics. A. macleodii 83-1 showed two distinct growth stages, with exponential growth during laminarin utilization followed by maintenance during simultaneous alginate/pectin utilization. The biphasic growth coincided with major temporal shifts in gene expression and metabolite secretion, enabling to define major/accessory polysaccharide utilization loci, reconstruct the complete degradation pathways for each polysaccharide, as well as identify temporal phenotypes in other relevant traits. FT-ICR-MS revealed a distinct suite of secreted metabolites for each growth phase, with pyrroloquinoline quinone exclusively produced with alginate/pectin. The finding of substrate-unique phenotypes indicates an exquisite adaptation to polysaccharide utilization with probable relevance for the degradation of macroalgal biomass, which comprises a complex mix of polysaccharides. Moreover, substrate-unique exometabolomes possibly influence metabolic interactions with other community members. Overall, the presence of fine-tuned genetic machineries for polysaccharide degradation and the widespread detection of related CAZymes in global locations indicate an ecological relevance of A. macleodii in marine polysaccharide cycling and bacteria-algae interactions.

Analysis of Polysaccharide Utilization Loci from 53 sequenced North Sea Flavobacteriia suggests that major algal glycans exhibit limited structural diversity

Project description:Marine algae convert a substantial fraction of the carbon dioxide they fix into various polysaccharides. Bacteria specialized on the remineralization of these polysaccharides often feature genomic clusters, termed polysaccharide utilization loci (PULs). Such PULs are often prevalent in, but not limited to, marine Flavobacteriia. Since knowledge on extant PUL diversity is sparse, we sequenced the genomes of 53 North Sea Flavobacteriia. We obtained 400 PULs, suggesting usage of a large array of polysaccharides, including laminarin, α- and β-mannans, fucose-, xylose-, galactose-, rhamnose- and arabinose-containing substrates, pectins, and chitins. Many of the PULs were novel, some indicating substrates that have rarely been described in marine environments. PUL repertoires of isolates often differed significantly within genera, corroborating ecological niche-associated glycan partitioning. Polysaccharide uptake in Flavobacteriia is mediated by SusCD. Respective protein trees revealed clustering according to polysaccharide specificities. Analysis of SusCD expression in multiyear phytoplankton bloom-associated metaproteomes indicated changes in microbial utilization of glucan, ß-mannan and sulfated xylan, suggesting that distinct substrates are temporarily abundant.

Unraveling the metabolic mechanisms of pioneer bacteria during the utilization of fresh macroalgae

Project description:We cultivated the flavobacterium Zobellia galactanivorans DsijT with fresh brown macroalgae with distinct chemical compositions. Its capacity to use macroalgae as the sole carbon source via the secretion of extracellular enzymes, leading to extensive tissue damages, highlights a sharing pioneer degrader behavior. RNA-seq transcriptome analysis revealed a metabolic shift toward the utilization of brown algal polysaccharides during tissue degradation. A subset of genes was specifically induced in cells grown with intact algae compared to purified polysaccharides. It notably includes genes involved in protection against oxidative burst, type IX secretion system proteins and novel uncharacterized Polysaccharides Utilization Loci (PULs). Comparative growth experiments and genomics between Zobellia members brought out putative genetic determinants of the pioneer behavior of Z. galactanivorans, whose in vitro role could be further characterized. This work constitutes the first investigation of the metabolic mechanisms of bacteria mediating fresh macroalgae breakdown, and will help unravel the role of marine microbes in the fate of macroalgal biomass.

Proteomic insights into ulvan degradation by the marine Flavobacterium Formosa agariphila

Project description:The marine Flavobacterium Formosa agariphila KMM 3901T is able to use a broad range of different carbohydrates as growth substrates. This is reflected in the strain’s repertoire of 13 polysaccharide utilization loci (PUL) in total. One PUL – termed as PUL H – is responsible for ulvan degradation, which is a widely distributed, algal-derived polysaccharide. The PUL comprises almost 40 genes, coding for transporters, lyases, glycoside hydrolases or sulfatases, among others. These proteins catalyse the breakdown of ulvan or the uptake of degradation products. A combined application of isotope labeling, subcellular protein fractionation and quantitative proteomics revealed that corresponding PUL encoded proteins were substrate specific up-regulated in ulvan-cultivated cells. The sulphated polysaccharide ulvan also induced the specific expression of proteins necessary for subsequent monosaccharide degradation. Compared to a control (fructose-cultivated cells), expression of PUL H additionally responded to rhamnose, a basic component of ulvan, indicating that this monosaccharide might signal ulvan availability in the environment. Our proteome analyses proofed a substrate specific expression of proteins involved in ulvan utilization and allowed us to deduce a comprehensive degradation pathway for this complex marine polysaccharide.

We identified a β-mannan polysaccharide utilization locus (PUL) in the genome of the marine Flavobacterium Muricauda sp. MAR_2010_75 which resembles PULs in bacteria from diverse ecosystems. Proteomics showed the β-mannan induced translation of 22 proteins encoded within the PUL.

Transcriptomic analysis of polysaccharide utilization loci reveals substrate preferences in two ruminal generalists Segatella bryantii TF1-3 and Xylanibacter ruminicola KHP1

Project description:Bacteria of the genera Xylanibacter and Segatella are one of the most dominant groups in the rumen microbiota. They are characterized by the ability to utilize different hemicelluloses and pectin of plant cell-wall as well as plant energy storage polysaccharides. The degradation is possible with the use of cell envelope bound multiprotein apparatuses coded in polysaccharide utilization loci (PULs), which have been shown to be substrate specific. The knowledge of PUL presence in rumen Xylanibacter and Segatella based on bioinformatic analyses is already established and transcriptomic and genetic approaches confirmed predicted PULs for a limited number of substrates. In this study, we transcriptomically identified additional different PULs in Xylanibacter ruminicola KHP1 and Segatella bryantii TF1-3. We also identified substrate preferences and found that specific growth rate and extent of growth impacted the choice of substrates preferentially used for degradation. These preferred substrates were used by both strains simultaneously as judged by their PUL upregulation. Lastly, β-glucan and xyloglucan were used by these strains in the absence of bioinformatically and transcriptomically identifiable PUL systems.

Cis-encoded sRNAs repress expression of polysaccharide utilization loci in Bacteroides fragilis 638R

Project description:The phylum Bacteroidetes is a major component of the human gut microbiota which has a broad impact on the development and physiology of its host, and a potential role in a wide range of disease syndromes. The predominance of Bacteroidetes and the genus Bacteroides in the distal gut is due in large part to the expansion of paralogous gene clusters, termed Polysaccharide Utilization Loci (PULs), dedicated to the uptake and catabolism of host derived and dietary polysaccharides. It is generally thought that the diversity of PULs is key to Bacteroides successful competition for nutrients in the gut environment. The nutritive value of the available polysaccharides varies greatly and thus their utilization is hierarchical and strictly controlled. A typical PUL includes regulatory genes that control expression in response to the presence of specific glycan substrates. However the existence of additional regulatory mechanisms has been predicted to explain phenomena such as the hierarchical control, catabolite repression, and the fine tuning of gene expression to match catabolic activity. Using Bacteroides fragilis as a model organism, this report describes a previously unknown layer of regulatory control in which cis-encoded antisense small RNAs (sRNA) act as repressors of the PULs’ catabolic genes. Nearly 30% of B. fragilis PULs are subject to this type of sRNA control and these PULs tend to be more closely linked to the utilization of host-derived glycans than dietary polysaccharides. The findings described here indicate the presence of a global control mechanism that underlies the known regulatory circuits which modulate PUL expression in response to substrate availability, and hence provide novel insight into regulation of the gut Bacteroidetes physiology.

RNA-seq analysis of Bacteroides xylanisolvens XB1AT grown on pectin or xylan

Project description:Dietary fiber degradation is a key function of the human gut microbiota. The aim of this study was to increase our knowledge on the degradation of plant cell wall polysaccharide degradation by a prominent human gut bacterial species, Bacteroides xylanisolvens. The transcriptome analysis of B. xylanisolvens XB1AT revealed the existence of six and two genomic loci dedicated to the degradation of pectins and xylan, respectively. These loci or PUL ("Polysaccharide Utilization Loci") are known to encode enzyme systems in Bacteroides that are specific to a particular polysaccharide. Simple two-way comparisons between pectin or xylan sources (treatment) and glucose or xylose (control), collected during mid- and late-log phase. Three replicates per condition.
