Bacillus subtilis WN715 vs WN716 expression in early stationary phase.

ABSTRACT: Five batch cultures of Bacillus subtilis were subjected to laboratory evolution for 6,000 generations under conditions repressing sporulation in complex liquid medium containing glucose. Between 1,000 and 2,000 generations, variants with a distinct small-colony morphology arose and swept through four of the five populations. To understand the nature of adaptation in these variants, individual strains were isolated from one population before (WN715) and after (WN716) the sweep. In addition to colony morphology, strains WN715 and WN716 differed in their motility, aerotaxis, and cell morphology. Competition experiments of WN715 vs. WN716 showed that WN716 had gained a distinct fitness advantage during growth and the transition to stationary phase, which was more pronounced when WN715 was present in co-culture. Microarray analyses revealed candidate genes in which mutations may have produced some of the observed phenotypes.

Genome and transcriptome divergence in Bacillus subtilis after 6,000 generations of evolution

Project description:Ten populations were evolved for 6,000 generations. Five had strong selection for sporulation, imposed partially by their cultivation in sporulation-inducing medium, while the other five populations had relaxed selection for sporulation, by cultivating them in sporulation-repressing medium. Batch cultures were diluted 1:100 daily for approximately 892 days. In the five populations with relaxed selection for sporulation, sporulation ability was eventually lost. Keywords: comparative genome hybridization and transcriptome divergence Genomic DNA from all ten populations, and ancestors, was isolated, labeled and hybridized to microarrays. Only one hybridization was performed for each experimental population, with evolved and ancestral DNA hybridized to the slide. RNA hybridizations were done by chosing one strain that was evolved in sporulation-repressing medium and one strain that was evolved in sporulation-inducing medium. Two biological replicates were performed, as well as a dye swap for each biological replicate. Evolved and ancestral strains were grown in identical medium and RNA was isolated at the onset of stationary phase.

A novel variant of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium with a rough colony morphology and multidrug resistance

Project description:Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium (S. Typhimurium) is a major cause of salmonellosis, with various multidrug-resistant pathovariants emerging. Here, we investigated a distinct rough colony variant with potentially enhanced environmental adaptation in China. Whole-genome sequencing of 2,212 Chinese isolates and 1,739 publicly available isolates revealed the population structure and evolutionary history of the rough colony variants. These variants showed macro, red, dry, and rough (mrdar) colonies with better biofilm-forming abilities at 28 °C and 37 °C compared to typical rdar colonies. The mrdar variants displayed expansive multidrug resistance, mainly attributed to an IncHI2 plasmid carrying 19 antimicrobial resistance genes. Phylogenomic analysis divided global collections into six lineages, with the majority of mrdar variants in sublineage L6.5, which originated from Chinese smooth colony strains and possibly emerged circa 1977. Upregulation of the csgDEFG operons was observed among mrdar variants, probably due to a distinct point mutation (-44G>T) in the csgD gene promoter. Pangenome and genome-wide association analyses identified 87 specific accessory genes and 72 distinct single nucleotide polymorphisms associated with the mrdar morphotype. This study presents the first large-scale, genome-based study of a distinct rdar colony morphology variant of S. Typhimurium in China, highlighting its global epidemic potential. Ongoing surveillance and genomic epidemiological studies are required to control epidemics, monitor bacterial population changes, and assess associated risks to global public health.

Identification of a complex genetic network involved in Saccharomyces cerevisiae colony morphology

Project description:When grown on solid substrates, different microorganisms often form colonies with very specific morphologies. Whereas the pioneers of microbiology often used colony morphology to discriminate between species and strains, the phenomenon has not received much recent attention. In this study, we use a genome-wide assay in the model yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae to identify all genes that affect colony morphology. We show that several major signaling cascades, including the MAPK, TORC, SNF1 and RIM101 pathways play a role, indicating that morphological changes are a reaction to changing environments. Other genes that affect colony morphology are involved in protein sorting and epigenetic regulation. Interestingly, the screen reveals only few genes that are likely to play a direct role in establishing colony morphology, one notable exception being FLO11, a gene encoding a cell-surface adhesin that has already been implicated in colony morphology, biofilm formation, and invasive and pseudohyphal growth. Using a series of modified promoters to tune FLO11 expression, we confirm the central role of Flo11 and show that differences in FLO11 expression result in distinct colony morphologies. Together, our results provide a first comprehensive looks at the complex genetic network that underlies the diversity in the morphologies of yeast colonies. Microarrays were used to measure gene expression between WT and FLO11 mutants in both liquid and solid medium to assess which genes induce altered colony morphology through FLO11.

Genome sequecing of yeast strain evolved under high glucose

Project description:A population of Saccharomyces cerevisiae was cultured for approximately 450 generations in the presence of high glucose to select for genetic variants. This experiment allows for a controlled model of adaptive evolution under natural selection. Using the parental strain BY4741 as the starting population, an evolved culture was obtained after continuous aerobic growth in a glucose-high medium for approximately 450 generations. After the evolution period three single colony isolates were selected for analysis. Next-generation Ion Torrent sequencing was used to evaluate genetic changes. Greater than 100 deletion/insertion changes were found with approximately half of these effecting genes. Additionally, over 180 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were identified with more than one quarter of these resulting in a non-synonymous mutation. Affymetrix DNA microarrays and RNseq analysis were used to determine differences in gene expression in the evolved strains compared to the parental strain. It was established that approximately 900 genes demonstrated significantly altered expression in the evolved strains relative to the parental strain. Many of these genes showed similar alterations in their expression in all three evolved strains. Interestingly, genes with altered expression in the three evolved strains included genes with a role in the TCA cycle. Overall these results are consistent with the physiological observations of decreased ethanol production and suggest that the underlying metabolism switched from fermentation to respiration during aerobic growth. Yeast strains were grown in the presence of high glucose for approximately 450 generations. Individual isolates were then grown and total RNA was collected to compare difference between the evolved strains and the parental strain.

Comparative genomics of Collimonas bacteria

Project description:Collimonas is a genus of soil bacteria which comprises three recognized species: C. fungivorans, C. pratensis and C. arenae. The bacteria belonging to this genus share the ability to lyse chitin (chitinolysis) and feed on living fungal hyphae (mycophagy), but they differ in colony morphology, physiological properties and antifungal activity. In order to gain a better insight into the genetic background underlying this phenotypic variability of collimonads, we investigated the variability in the genomic content of five strains representing the three formally recognized Collimonas species. The genomic content of four test strains was hybridized on an array representing the reference strain C. fungivorans Ter331.
