The impact of glycerol on the metabolism of Lactobacillus reuteri - Exploratory experiment

ABSTRACT: Lactobacillus reuteri is a heterofermentative lactic acid bacterium best known for its ability to co-ferment glucose and glycerol. Its genome sequence has recently been deduced enabling the implementation of genome-wide analysis. In this study we developed a dedicated cDNA microarray platform and a genome-scale metabolic network model of L. reuteri and use them to revisit the co-fermentation of glucose and glycerol. The model was used to simulate experimental conditions and to visualize and integrate experimental data in particular the global transcriptional response of L. reuteri to the presence of glycerol. We show how the presence of glycerol affects cell physiology and triggers specific regulatory mechanisms allowing simultaneously a better yield and more efficient biomass formation. Furthermore we were able to predict and demonstrate for this well-studied condition the involvement of previously unsuspected metabolic pathways for instance related to amino acids and vitamins. These could be used as leads in future studies aiming at the increased production of industrially relevant compounds such as vitamin B12 or 1 3- propanediol. Keywords: cell type comparison

Maltose utilization by Lactobacillus reuteri 100-23

Project description:Commensal (symbiont) bacteria form communities in various regions of the bodies of vertebrates. Phylogenetic analysis of gut communities is advanced, but the relationships, especially at the trophic level, between commensals that share gut habitats of monogastric animals have not been investigated to any extent. Lactobacillus reuteri strain 100-23 and Lactobacillus johnsonii strain 100-33 cohabit in the forestomach of mice. According to the niche exclusion principle, this should not be possible because both strains utilise the two main fermentable carbohydrates present in the stomach digesta: glucose and maltose. We show, based on gene transcription analysis, in vitro physiological assays, and in vivo experiments that the two strains can co-exist in the forestomach habitat because L. reuteri 100-23 transports maltose into its cells more efficiently than does L. johnsonii 100-33. Conversely, strain 100-33 transports glucose more efficiently than 100-23. As a result, 100-23 shows a preference for growth using maltose, whereas 100-33 prefers glucose. Mutation of the maltose phosphorylase gene (malA) of strain 100-23 prevented its growth on maltose-containing culture medium, and resulted in the numerical dominance of 100-33 in the forestomach. The fundamental niche of L. reuteri 100-23 in the mouse forestomach can be defined in terms of glucose and maltose fermentation. Its realised niche when L. johnsonii 100-33 is present is maltose fermentation. Hence nutritional adaptations provided niche differentiation that enabled cohabitation by the two strains through resource partitioning in the mouse forestomach. This real life, trophic phenomenon conforms to a mathematical model.
