Pseudomonas aerugiosa tctED deletion strain compared to wildtype

ABSTRACT: Purpose of study was to investigate whole genome expression changes of a strain with deletion of the two-component system TctD-TctE and determine genes dysregulate relative to the parental wildtype to gain insight into possible regulatory targets of TctD-TctE. TctD-TctE is a two-component system in Pseudomonas aeruginosa that responds to and regulates uptake of tricarboxylic acids such as citric acid. It accomplishes this through derepression of the porin encoding the gene opdH, thereby regulating influx of citrate metabolites from the surrounding environment. Deletion of the tctED operon (ΔtctED) resulted in a reduced growth phenotype when citric acid is present in media. In the ΔtctED strain the presence of citric acid was found to have an inhibitory effect on growth. When the alternative carbon source arginine was present, wildtype levels of growth could not be restored. Static cultures of ΔtctED had low cell density in the presence of citric acid but maintained the same levels of biofilm formation compared to conditions when no citric acid was present. This suggests a dysregulation of biofilm formation in the presence of citric acid. In the ΔtctED strain there was also greater accumulation of tobramycin within the biofilm compared to the PA14 wildtype strain. Additionally, analysis of whole-genome expression found that multiple metabolic genes were dysregulated in ΔtctED. Here it is concluded that TctD-TctE is involved in biofilm tolerance to tobramycin in the presence of citrate metabolites.

Cap analysis gene expression (CAGE) of Aspergillus luchuensis mut. kawachii control and laeA disruptant strains

Project description:LaeA, a putative methyltransferase, is a global regulator for metabolic and development process in filamentous fungi. We characterized the laeA homologous genes in the white koji fungus, Aspergillus luchuensis mut. kawachii (A. kawachii) to examine their role in citric acid production. The ΔlaeA strain showed a significant reduction in the citric acid productivity. The cap-analysis gene expression (CAGE) revealed the laeA is required for the gene expression of a putative citrate exporter encoding cexA, which has a critical role for the citric acid production. The deficient citric acid productivity of the ΔlaeA strain was remedied by overexpression of cexA to a comparative level to that of the cexA overexpressing ΔcexA strain. In addition, chromatin immunoprecipitation coupled with quantitative PCR (ChIP-qPCR) analysis indicated that LaeA regulates gene expression of the citrate exporter encoding cexA gene via histone H3K4 and histone H3K9 methylation levels. These results indicate that LaeA is involved in the citric acid production through epigenetic regulation of cexA in A. kawachii.

Metabolome and transcriptome-wide effects of the carbon storage regulator A in enteropathogenic Escherichia coli.

Project description:The carbon storage regulator A (CsrA) is a conserved swivel of a global regulatory system known to regulate central carbon pathways, biofilm formation, motility, and pathogenicity. The aim of this study was to characterize changes in major metabolic pathways induced by CsrA in the human enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) strain E2348/69. The EPEC strain E2348/69 and a csrA deletion mutant were grown under virulence factor inducing conditions and characterized by a combined analysis of their metabolomes and transcriptomes. Of the 159 metabolites identified from untargeted GC/MS and LC/MS data, 70 were significantly (fold change ≥ 1.5; p-value ≤ 0.05) regulated between the knockout and the wildtype strain. A lack of csrA led to an upregulation of upper glycolysis and glycogen synthesis pathways, whereas lower glycolysis and the citric acid cycle were downregulated. Associated pathways from the citric acid cycle like aromatic amino acid and siderophore biosynthesis were also negatively influenced. The nucleoside salvage pathways were featured by an accumulation of nucleosides and nucleobases, and a downregulation of nucleotides. In addition, a pronounced downregulation of lyso-lipid metabolites was observed. A drastic change in the morphology in the form of vesicle-like structures of the csrA knockout strain was visible by electron microscopy, which is supposed to be a consequence of a strong upregulation of colanic acid synthesis. The findings expand the scope of pathways affected by the csrA regulon and emphasize its importance as a global regulator.

Correlating citric acid formation and manganese limitation in Aspergillus niger using transcriptome and proteome analysis

Project description:Aspergillus niger is well known for its capability to produce citrate in high amounts but the detailed metabolic response causing citrate production has not been fully elucidated. Manganese is known to have an important effect as its limitation is a requirement to obtain high-level citrate formation. To identify the translational regulation causing citric acid overflow metabolism, transcriptome and proteome data from cultivations in manganese limitation and manganese excess conditions were analyzed. In addition to four already described main responses, two novel events were identified. The first metabolic response was down regulation of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK) during manganese limited conditions, which was confirmed by in vivo experiments. Down regulation of the first step in the gluconeogenesis, while maintaining a high activity through glycolysis, promoted secretion of citrate into the medium as an alternative regulatory mechanism for adjusting the intracellular concentrations of TCA intermediates. The other novel observation was down regulation of two cation transporters at manganese limited conditions. It was hypothesized that lowered cation transport across the mitochondrial membrane reduced the ability of the cell to maintain homeostasis thereby favoring citric acid secretion. Finally, upregulation of an ABC transporter was measured, which was assumed to be a citrate permease. 9 samples in total. Three conditions in triplicates

Medium pH influences citric acid and lipid production in oleaginous yeast Yarrowia lipolytica

Project description:The goal of this study is to find out how Yarrowia lipolytica W29’s transcriptome changes in response to different pHs in certain medium, where the production of citric acid and lipid vary significantly at different pHs. The changes in transcriptome will give us insight about the mechanism of citric acid and/or lipid production are regulated. We harvested Y. lipolytica cells from bioreactor cultures from three different pHs: 2.0, 4.0 and 6.0 in triplicates. We sequenced the mRNA by Illumina HiSeq 2500 and generated an average of 20 million reads for each sample. We did not find distinct gene expression changes for the enzymes right downstream the intersection where citrate is cleaved into acetyl-CoA. Instead, from gene ontology enrichment analysis, we observed proteins with transport activities were overrepresented in gene groups that were up-regulated higher pH conditions, where citric acid secretion is favored.

Ginkgolic acids and Ginko biloba extract inhibit Escherichia coli O157:H7 biofilm formation

Project description:Contamination with enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli O157:H7 (EHEC) is a worldwide problem but there is no effective therapy available for EHEC infection. Biofilm formation is closely related with EHEC infection and is one of the mechanisms of antimicrobial resistance. Antibiofilm screening of 560 plant secondary metabolites against EHEC shows that ginkgolic acids C15:1 and C17:1 at 5 μg/ml and Ginko biloba extract at 100 μg/ml significantly inhibited EHEC biofilm formation on the surface of polystyrene, nylon membrane, and glass. Importantly, the working concentration of ginkgolic acids and G. biloba extract did not affect bacterial growth and has been known to be non-toxic to human. Transcriptional analyses showed that ginkgolic acid C15:1 repressed curli genes and prophage genes in EHEC, which were corroborated by reduced fimbriae production and biofilm reduction in EHEC. Interestingly, ginkgolic acids and G. biloba extract did not inhibit the biofilm formation of commensal E. coli K-12 strain. The current study suggests that plant secondary metabolites are important resource of biofilm inhibitors, as well as other bioactive compounds. E. coli GeneChip Genome 2.0 Array (Affymetrix, P/N 900551, Santa Clara, USA) was used to study the differential gene expression of the E. coli O157:H7 cells after the treatment with ginkgolic acid C15:1 (0.005 mg/ml). Cells were inoculated into 25 ml LB medium in 250 mL shake flasks with a starting OD600 of 0.05, and cultured at 37oC for 8 h without shaking in the presence or absence of ginkgolic acid C15:1 (5 μg/ml). To prevent RNA degradation, RNase inhibitor (RNAlater, Ambion, TX, USA) was added, and the EHEC cells were collected by centrifugation at 10,000 rpm for 1 min. The cell pellets obtained were immediately frozen with dry ice and stored at -80°C. Total RNA was isolated using a Qiagen RNeasy mini Kit (Valencia, CA, USA).

E coli MG1655 biofilm and planktonic gene expression

Project description:Bacteria growing as surface-adherent biofilms are better able to withstand chemical and physical stresses than their unattached, planktonic counterparts. Using transcriptional profiling and quantitative PCR, we observed a previously uncharacterized gene, yjfO, to be upregulated during Escherichia coli MG1655 biofilm growth in a chemostat on serine-limited defined medium. A yjfO mutant, developed through targeted insertion mutagenesis, and a yjfO-complemented strain, were obtained for further characterization. While bacterial surface colonization levels (CFU/cm2) were similar in all three strains, the mutant strain exhibited reduced microcolony formation when observed in flow cells, and greatly enhanced flagellar motility on soft (0.3%) agar. Complementation of yjfO restored microcolony formation and flagellar motility to wild type levels. Cell surface hydrophobicity and twitching motility were unaffected by the presence or absence of yjfO. In contrast to the parent strain, biofilms from the mutant strain were less able to resist acid and peroxide stresses. yjfO had no significant effect on E. coli biofilm susceptibility to alkali or heat stress. Planktonic cultures from all three strains showed similar responses to these stresses. Regardless of the presence of yjfO, planktonic E. coli withstood alkali stress better than biofilm populations. Complementation of yjfO restored viability following exposure to peroxide stress, but did not restore acid resistance. Based on its influence on biofilm formation, stress response, and effects on motility, we propose renaming the uncharacterized gene, yjfO, as bsmA (biofilm stress and motility).

Analysis of Pseudomonas putida growth on non-trivial carbon sources using transcriptomics and genome-scale modeling

Project description:Pseudomonas putida is characterized by a versatile metabolism and stress tolerance traits that allow the bacterium to cope with different environmental conditions. In this work, the mechanisms that allow P. putida KT2440 to grow in the presence of four sole carbon sources (glucose, citrate, ferulic acid, serine) were investigated by RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) and genome-scale metabolic modeling. Transcriptomic data identified uptake systems for the four carbon sources, and candidates were subjected to preliminary experimental characterization by mutant strain growth to test their involvement in substrate assimilation. The OpdH and BenF-like porins were involved in citrate and ferulic acid uptake, respectively. The citrate transporter (encoded by PP_0147) and the TctABC system were important for supporting cell growth in citrate; PcaT and VanK were associated with ferulic acid uptake; and the ABC transporter AapJPQM was involved in serine transport. A genome-scale metabolic model of P. putida KT2440 was used to integrate and analyze the transcriptomic data, identifying and confirming the active catabolic pathways for each carbon source. This study reveals novel information about transporters that are essential for understanding bacterial adaptation to different environments.
