Project description:L-rhamnose, a naturally abundant sugar, plays diverse biological roles in bacteria, influencing biofilm formation and pathogenesis. This study investigates the global impact of L-rhamnose on the transcriptome and biofilm formation of PHL628 E. coli under various experimental conditions. We compared growth in planktonic and biofilm states in rich (LB) and minimal (M9) media at 28 °C and 37 °C, with varying concentrations of L-rhamnose or D-glucose as a control. Our results reveal that L-rhamnose significantly affects growth kinetics and biofilm formation, particularly reducing biofilm growth in rich media at 37 °C. Transcriptomic analysis through RNA-seq showed that L-rhamnose modulates gene expression differently depending on the temperature and media conditions, promoting a planktonic state by upregulating genes involved in rhamnose transport and metabolism and downregulating genes related to adhesion and biofilm formation. These findings highlight the nuanced role of L-rhamnose in bacterial adaptation and survival, providing insights for potential applications in controlling biofilm-associated infections and industrial biofilm management.

Project description:Candida albicans, a major opportunistic fungal pathogen is frequently found together with Streptococcus mutans in dental biofilms associated with severe childhood tooth-decay, a prevalent pediatric oral disease. Previous studies have demonstrated that S. mutans and C. albicans synergizes virulence of plaque-biofilms in vivo. However, the nature of this bacterial-fungal relationship in this cross-kingdom biofilm remains largely uncharacterized. Using iTRAQ based quantitative proteomics, we found that proteins associated with carbohydrate metabolism such as alpha-1,4 glucan phosphorylase, Hexokinase-2, Isocitrate lyase and malate synthase were significantly upregulated in C. albicans in the mixed-species biofilms (P<0.05). C. albicans proteins associated with growth/morphogenesis such as pH-responsive protein-2, Fma1p and Hsp21 were also induced. Conversely, S. mutans proteins in the tricarboxylic acid cycle such as citrate synthase and in the pentose phosphate pathway such as Ribose-5-phosphate isomerase A as well as proteins associated with sugar transport systems were upregulated indicating enhanced carbohydrate metabolism. Interestingly mixed-species biofilm microenvironment had a lower pH than S. mutans single-species biofilms. This observation was supported by proteomics, wherein proteins associated with lactate and formate assimilation such as Glyoxalase and putative NADPH-dependent methylglyoxal reductase proteins were significantly upregulated in the mixed-species biofilms (P<0.05). Furthermore, we unexpectedly found that S. mutans derived glucosyltransferase B (GtfB), responsible for co-adhesion via glucans, can also contribute to C. albicans growth and carbohydrate metabolism by providing glucose and fructose from sucrose breakdown. These findings demonstrate synergistic bacterial-fungal interactions within mixed-species biofilms and a novel GtfB cross-feeding role. Taken together, quantitative proteomics provides new insights into this virulent cross-kingdom oral biofilm.

Project description:Biofilms are ubiquitous in natural, medical, and engineering environments. While most antibiotics that primarily aim to inhibit cell growth may result in bacterial drug resistance, biofilm inhibitors do not affect cell growth and there is less chance of developing resistance. This work sought to identify novel, non-toxic and potent biofilm inhibitors from Streptomyces bacteria for reducing the biofilm formation of Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1. Out of 4300 Streptomyces strains, one species produced and secreted peptide(s) to inhibit P. aeruginosa biofilm formation by 93% without affecting the growth of planktonic cells. Global transcriptome analyses (DNA microarray) revealed that the supernatant of the Streptomyces 230 strain induced phenazine, pyoverdine, and pyochelin synthesis genes. Electron microscopy showed that the supernatant of Streptomyces 230 strain reduced the production of polymeric matrix in P. aeruginosa biofilm cells, while the Streptomyces species enhanced swarming motility of P. aeruginosa. Therefore, current study suggests that Streptomyces bacteria are an important resource of biofilm inhibitors as well as antibiotics. For the microarray experiments, P. aeruginosa were inoculated in 25 0ml of LB medium in 1000 ml shake flasks with overnight cultures that were diluted 1:100. Streptomyces 230 strain culture media was added in at 1% . Cells were cultured with 10g of glass wool in LB at 37M-BM-0C with 100 rpm shaking for 7 hrs. Cells were immediately chilled with dry ice and 95% ethanol (to prevent RNA degradation) for 30 sec before centrifugation in 50 ml centrifuge tubes at 13,000 g for 2 min; cell pellets were frozen immediately with dry ice and stored -80M-BM-0C. RNA was isolated using Qiagen RNeasy mini Kit (Valencia, CA, USA). RNA quality was assessed by Agilent 2100 bioanalyser using the RNA 6000 Nano Chip (Agilent Technologies, Amstelveen, The Netherlands), and quantity was determined by ND-1000 Spectrophotometer (NanoDrop Technologies, Inc., DE, USA).

Project description:Polymicrobial biofilms are of large medical importance, but little is known about their physiology and the underlying interspecies interactions. Here we studied two human pathogens, the opportunistic fungus Candida albicans and the caries promoting bacterium Streptococcus mutans. Both species formed biofilms in monoculture, with C. albicans growing mainly in the virulence-associated hyphae form, and S. mutans forming a thick layer of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS). Biofilm growth was enhanced in dual-species biofilms, which reached twice the biomass of monospecies biofilms and higher cell numbers of both S. mutans and C. albicans. EPS production by S. mutans was strongly suppressed in dual-species biofilms. Virulence traits of S. mutans, e.g. genetic competence, biofilm formation and bacteriocin synthesis are controlled by quorum sensing through activation of the alternative sigma factor SigX. SigX is induced by the pheromones CSP (competence stimulating factor) or XIP (sigX inducing peptide). Strong induction of sigX was observed in dual species biofilms indicated by fluorescence of a reporter strain for the sigX promoter, S. mutans PcomX-gfp, as well as by qRT-PCR of comX. The peak of sigX expression occurred after 10 h of biofilm growth. Conditioned media from mixed biofilms but not from C. albicans or S. mutans cultivated alone activated sigX in the reporter strain. Deletion mutants for the comC and comS genes encoding the precursors of CSP and XIP, respectively, were constructed. Conditioned media from mixed biofilms with S. mutans DcomS were unable to induce sigX in the reporter strain, while deletion of comC had no effect. These data show that synthesis of XIP was induced in S. mutans by coculture with C. albicans. Transcriptome analysis of S. mutans in single and mixed biofilms confirmed strong induction of comS, sigX, and the downstream late competence genes in dual-species biofilms. Among the late competence genes, fratricins were discovered for the first time. The comCDE operon and bacteriocin related genes were also induced, but much weaker. Genes related to oxidative stress, chaperones and glycosyltransferase genes required for EPS synthesis from sucrose were down-regulated, while glycogen synthesis genes were up-regulated, indicating that S. mutans was protected from oxidative stress and provided with excess sugar for storage polymer synthesis in mixed biofilms. The data show that in dual-species biofilms, C. albicans improves growth of S. mutans, suppresses its EPS formation and induces the complete quorum sensing signalling system, thus fundamentally changing the virulence properties of the caries pathogen, including its potential interactions with other members of the polymicrobial dental plaque community.

Project description:We sequenced pollen DNA from Col x Ler F1 hybrid plants using Nanopore long-read sequencing and identified crossover sites with COmapper. To purify pollen grains from F1 hybrid plants and extract their genomic DNA, whole inflorescences of hybrid plants were collected and transferred to ice-cold 10% (w/v) sucrose in a 50-ml tubes. Flowers were homogenized with a blender (Tefal, BL3051KR), filtered through 80-μm nylon mesh, and centrifuged at 350g for 10 min at 4 °C. The supernatant was discarded and the pellet was resuspended in 10% (w/v) sucrose, filtered through a 40-μm cell strainer, and centrifuged at 100g for 10 min at 4°C. The purified pellet was frozen in liquid nitrogen and ground with a mortar and pestle. The pellet powder was resuspended in CTAB buffer (1% [w/v] CTAB, 50 mM Tris-HCl pH 8.0, 0.7 M NaCl, 10 mM EDTA). Proteinase K (NEB, P8107S) and RNase A (20 mg/ml, Roche, 10109142001) were added to a final concentration of 80 U/ml and 20 μg/ml, respectively. To check pollen disruption, a 1-μl sample was diluted in a 1:10 ratio with 10% (w/v) sucrose and observed under a stereomicroscope (Leica, M165 FC). Then, 500 μl of the resuspended pellet was transferred to a 1.5-ml tube, to which an equal volume of 25:24:1 (v/v/v) phenol:chloroform:isoamylalcohol (Sigma, 77617) was added, and the mixture was homogenized by gentle manual shaking. The tube was centrifuged at 15,000g for 10 min at 4°C, and 400 μl of supernatant was transferred into a new tube, to which a Nanobind disk (Nanobind® Plant Nuclei Kit RT, PacBio, 102-302-000) was added. The tube containing the Nanobind disk was gently mixed, 400 μl isopropanol was added, and the tube was slowly inverted and incubated for 2 h at room temperature on a rotator set at 7 rpm. A magnetic rack (DynaMagTM-2, Invitrogen, 12321D) was used to separate the disk and the supernatant, and the supernatant was removed. PW1 buffer in the Nanobind Plant Nuclei Kit was used for washing the disk twice and the supernatant was removed completely by centrifugation. Then, 150 μl EB+ buffer was added onto the disc and gently tabbed and incubated overnight at room temperature. The supernatant was transferred to a new 1.5-ml tube and stored at −20°C. The DNA was quantified using a Qubit dsDNA Broad Range assay kit (Thermo Fisher, Q32853) and integrity checked by gel electrophoresis. Nine micrograms of gDNA from pollen was used to construct a nanopore long-read sequencing library using a Ligation Sequencing Kit V14 (Nanopore, SQK-LSK114). The libraries were sequenced using a PromethION platform (BGI, Hong Kong).
