Genome-resolved metatranscriptomics reveals conserved root colonization determinants in a synthetic microbiota

ABSTRACT: The identification of processes activated by specific microbes during microbiota colonization of plant roots has been hampered by technical constraints in metatranscriptomics. These include lack of reference genomes, high representation of host or microbial rRNA sequences in datasets, or difficulty to experimentally validate gene functions. Here, we recolonized germ-free Arabidopsis thaliana with a synthetic, yet representative root microbiota comprising 106 genome-sequenced bacterial and fungal isolates. We used multi-kingdom rRNA depletion, deep RNA-sequencing and read mapping against reference microbial genomes to analyse the in-planta metatranscriptome of abundant colonizers. We identified over 3,000 microbial genes that were differentially regulated at the soil-root interface. Translation and energy production processes were consistently activated in planta, and their induction correlated with bacterial strains’ abundance in roots. Finally, we used targeted mutagenesis to show that several genes consistently induced by multiple bacteria are required for root colonization in one of the abundant bacterial strains (a genetically tractable Rhodanobacter). Our results indicate that microbiota members activate strain-specific processes but also common gene sets to colonize plant roots.

Molecular changes in the maize roots transcriptome due to soil microbes

Project description:The association between soil microbes and plant roots is present in all natural and agricultural environments. Microbes can be beneficial, pathogenic, or neutral to the host plant development and adaptation to abiotic or biotic stresses. Progress in investigating the functions and changes in microbial communities in diverse environments have been rapidly developing in recent years, but the changes in root function is still largely understudied. The aim of this study was to determine how soil bacteria influence maize root transcription and microRNAs (miRNAs) populations in a controlled inoculation of known microbes over a defined time course. At each time point after inoculation of the maize inbred line B73 with ten bacterial isolates, DNA and RNA were isolated from roots. The V4 region of the 16S rRNA gene was amplified from the DNA and sequenced with the Illumina MiSeq platform. Amplicon sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene indicated that most of the microbes successfully colonized maize roots. The colonization was dynamic over time and varied with the specific bacterial isolate. Small RNA sequencing and mRNA-Seq was done to capture changes in the root transcriptome from 0.5 to 480 hours after inoculation. The transcriptome and small RNA analyses revealed epigenetic and transcriptional changes in roots due to the microbial inoculation. This research provides the foundational data needed to understand how plant roots interact with bacterial partners and will be used to develop predictive models for root response to bacteria.

Intestinal microbiome adjusts the innate immune setpoint during colonization through negative regulation of MyD88

Project description:Host pathways mediating changes in immune states elicited by intestinal microbial colonization are incompletely characterized. Here we describe alterations of the host immune state induced by colonization of germ-free zebrafish larvae with an intestinal microbial community or single bacterial species. We show that microbiota-induced changes in intestinal leukocyte subsets and whole-body host gene expression are dependent on the innate immune adaptor gene myd88. Similar patterns of gene expression are elicited by colonization with conventional microbiome, as well as mono-colonization with two different zebrafish commensal bacterial strains. By studying loss-of-function myd88 mutants, we find that colonization suppresses Myd88 at the mRNA level. Tlr2 is essential for microbiota-induced effects on myd88 transcription and intestinal immune cell composition.

Dissecting the co-transcriptome landscape of plants and microbiota

Project description:Interactions between plants and each neighboring microbial species are fundamental building blocks that collectively determine the structure and function of the plant microbiota, but the molecular basis of such interactions is poorly characterized. Here, we monocolonized Arabidopsis leaves with nine plant-associated bacteria from all major phyla of the plant microbiota and profiled co-transcriptomes of plants and bacteria. These strains elicited quantitatively different plant transcriptional responses including typical pattern-triggered immunity responses. Genes of non-pathogenic bacteria involved in general metabolism and energy production were commonly suppressed in planta in contrast to a virulent pathogen. Various nutrient acquisition pathways that are frequently encoded in the genomes of plant-associated bacteria were induced in planta in a strain-specific manner, shedding light on bacterial adaptation to the plant environment and identifying a potential driving force of niche separation. Integrative analyses of plant and bacterial transcriptomes suggested that the transcriptional reprogramming of plants is largely uncoupled from that of bacteria at an early stage of interactions. This study provides insights into how plants discriminate among bacterial strains and sets the foundation for in-depth mechanistic dissection of plant-microbiota interactions.

Trichoderma-plant root colonization: escaping early plant defense responses and activation of the antioxidant machinery

Project description:Trichoderma spp. are versatile opportunistic plant symbionts which can colonize the apoplast of plant roots. Microarrays analysis of Arabidopsis thaliana roots inoculated with Trichoderma asperelloides T203, coupled with qPCR analysis of 137 stress-responsive genes and transcription factors, revealed wide gene transcript reprogramming, preceded by a transient repression of the plant immune responses supposedly to allow root colonization. Enhancement in the expression of WRKY18 and 40, which stimulate JA-signaling via suppression of JAZ repressors and negative-regulate the expression of the defense genes FMO1, PAD3 and CYP71A13, was detected in Arabidopsis roots upon Trichoderma colonization. Reduced root colonization was observed in the wrky18/wrky40 double mutant line, while partial phenotypic complementation was achieved by over-expressing WRKY40 in the wrky18 wrky40 background. On the other hand, an increased colonization rate was found in roots of the FMO1 knockout mutant.

Arabidopsis requires a stearoyl-ACP desaturase for proper interaction with beneficial rhizobacteria

Project description:Unlike pathogens that trigger plant defense responses, beneficial microbes are compatible with plants. One possible reason for the compatibility is that the microbial factors from beneficial microbes are inert in that they do not trigger plant defense responses. Little is known about the mechanisms underlying this seemingly inert relation. Here we report that Arabidopsis lacking the gene Growth-Promotion 1 (GP1) becomes defensive to microbial volatiles from Bacillus amyloliqueficiens strain GB03, a beneficial rhizobacterium. The gp1 mutant was isolated in a forward genetic screen for mutants that show defectiveness in GB03-triggered plant inducible vigor. GP1 encodes a stearoyl-ACP desaturase that catalyzes the desaturation of stearic acid (18:0) to oleic acid (18:1). Consistently, plant inducible vigor was also impaired by chemical enhancement of 18:1 catabolism, while genetic disruption of 18:1 catabolism largely restored the inducible vigor in gp1. When exposed to GB03-emitted microbial volatiles (GMVs), wild type plants showed transcriptional up-regulation of growth-promoting processes and down-regulation of defense responses; in contrast, the gp1 transcriptome displayed elevated defense responses when treated with GMVs. Meanwhile disruption of salicylic acid-mediated defense partially restored plant inducible vigor in gp1. Microbiota profiling revealed that GP1 dysfunction alters the assemblage of plant-associated rhizobacteria communities, including a reduction in the Bacillaceae family that is known to contain many beneficial rhizobacteria species. Consistently, gp1 mutants showed severely impaired root colonization of GB03. Our findings suggest that GP1 prevents the plant defense system from being mistakenly activated by non-pathogenic microbial factors, thereby allowing mutualistic association between the plant and beneficial microbes.
