Abstract:
Genome-scale metabolic models have been appearing with
increasing frequency and have been employed in a wide range of
biotechnological applications as well as in biological studies.
With the metabolic model as a platform, engineering strategies
have become more systematic and focused, unlike the random
shotgun approach used in the past. Here we present the
genome-scale metabolic model of the versatile Gram-negative
bacterium Pseudomonas putida, which has gained widespread
interest for various biotechnological applications. With the
construction of the genome-scale metabolic model of P. putida
KT2440, PpuMBEL1071, we investigated various characteristics of
P. putida, such as its capacity for synthesizing
polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) and degrading aromatics. Although
P. putida has been characterized as a strict aerobic bacterium,
the physiological characteristics required to achieve anaerobic
survival were investigated. Through analysis of PpuMBEL1071,
extended survival of P. putida under anaerobic stress was
achieved by introducing the ackA gene from Pseudomonas
aeruginosa and Escherichia coli.

Project description:The Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 gene phaF (PA5060) is a transcriptional regulator in the closely related pseudomonad P. putida. phaF is expressed at higher levels in P. aeruginosa clinical isolates from the cystic fibrosis respiratory tract. To determine the role of phaF in regulating P. aeruginosa gene expression, we cloned it under control of the pBAD promoter in expression vector pJN105 and compared expression in this strain relative to an empty vector control strain. We used microarrays to study overall gene expression in a P. aeruginosa PAO1 phaF overexpression strain.

We used microarrays to study overall gene expression in a P. aeruginosa PAO1 phaF overexpression strain. A P. aeruginosa PAO1 strain over-expressing the transcriptional regulator phaF, PAO1 pJN105-phaF, and the corresponding empty control strain, P. aeruginosa PAO1 pJN105, were grown to exponential phase, RNA was isolated, and gene expression was analyzed via microarray analysis and compared.
Project description:We investigated the changes of gene expression in PHA-producing Pseudomonas putida KT2440 cultivated under elevated pressure (7 bar) and under combined elevated pressure (7 bar) and elevated dissolved oxygen tension by means of DNA microarrays. RNA samples were isolated from cells cultivated in chemostat under very well defined growth conditions (growth rate, medium, temperature, pH,...)
Project description:Inosine monophosphate (IMP) plays a central role in intracellular purine metabolism. How IMP regulates inflammation induced by bacterial products or bacteria is unknown. In this study, we demonstrate that IMP fundamentally alters gene expression in the liver.To assess how IMP affects inflammatory cell activation in vivo, we subjected liver, the organ containing the highest numbers of macrophages in the body, to RNAseq analyses. High quality RNA was isolated from the livers of 3 vehicle- and 3 IMP-treated endotoxemic mice and submitted for RNAseq analysis. Our analysis identified 105 genes that were differentially expressed, determined by adjusted p values (42 downregulated, 63 upregulated; padj ≤ 0.05).
Project description:Alginate, a major exopolysaccharide (EPS) produced by P. putida, is known to create hydrated environments and alleviate the effect of water limitation. In addition to alginate, P. putida is capable of producing cellulose (bcs), putida exopolysaccharide a (pea), and putida exopolysaccharide b (peb). However, unlike alginate, not much is known about their roles under water limitation. Hence, in this study we examined the role of different EPS under water stress. To create environmentally realistic water stress conditions as observed in soil, we used Pressurized Porous Surface Model (PPSM). Our main hypothesis was that under water stress, absence of alginate would be compensated by the other EPS. To test our hypothesis, we investigated colony morphologies and whole genome transcriptomes of P. putida KT2440 WT and its mutants deficient in either alginate or all known EPS A custom-made Nimblegen (WI, USA) whole genome one-color oligonucleotide expression array (12x135K with 45-60 mer probes) of P. putida KT2440 was used to investigate effect of water stress on the differential expression of the whole genome. In this study Pseudomonas putida KT2440 wild type (WT) and two of its mutants deficient either in alginate (Alg-), or all known EPS (EPS-) production were used and grown under dry (water stress) and wet (without water stress) conditions. (Deleted genes in Alg-: PP1277-PP128; in EPS-: PP1277-1288 (alg) + PP2634-2638 (bcs) + PP3132-3142 (pea) + PP1795-1788 (peb)) (Nilsson et al., 2011).39.

Project description:KaiC is the central cog of the circadian clock in Cyanobacteria. Close homologs of this protein are widespread among bacteria not known to have a circadian physiology. The function, interaction network, and mechanism of action of these KaiC homologs are still largely unknown. Here, we focus on KaiC homologs found in environmental Pseudomonas species. We characterize experimentally the only KaiC homolog present in Pseudomonas putida KT2440 and Pseudomonas protegens CHA0. Through phenotypic assays and transcriptomics, we show that KaiC is involved in osmotic and oxidative stress resistance in P. putida and in biofilm production in both P. putida and P. protegens.
