Project description:The faecal indicator bacterium Escherichia coli K12 was used to study the cellular events that take place at the transcription level using the microarray technology during short-term (physiological) and long-term (genetic) adaptation to slow growth under limited nutrient supply. Short-term and long-term adaptation were assessed by comparing the mRNA levels isolated after 40 or 500 hours of glucose-limited continuous culture at a dilution rate of 0.3 h-1 with those from batch culture with glucose excess. Keywords: glucose-limited continuous culture, adaptation, microarray, high affinity transport systems, transcriptome, Escherichia coli

Project description:Enclosure experiments are frequently used to investigate the impact of changing environmental conditions on microbial assemblages. Yet, the question how individual members of bacterial communities respond to challenges posed by the incubation itself remained unanswered. We used metaproteomic profiling, 16S rRNA gene analysis and high nucleic acid content analysis to monitor bacterial communities during long-term incubations (55 days) under marine (M1), mesohaline (M2) and oligohaline (M3) conditions with and without the addition of terrestrial dissolved organic matter. Our results showed that early in the experiment (after one week, T2), bacterial communities were highly diverse and their composition differed significantly between marine, mesohaline and oligohaline conditions. Controls (BS) and tDOM-treated samples (FKB) showed notable differences at this stage. In contrast, in the late phase of the experiment (after 55 days, T6), bacterial communities in both, manipulated and untreated marine and mesohaline enclosures were quite similar to each other and were dominated by gammaproteobacterial Spongiibacter. In the oligohaline enclosure, the actinobacterial hgc-I clade was very abundant in this phase. Our findings suggest that individual capacities, e.g. grazing-resistance, antibiotics production, and the ability to access alternative carbon sources may enable Spongiibacter and hgc-I clade members to successfully prevail during long-term incubations. Bacterial community composition in enclosure experiments thus seems to be strongly influenced by the individual inherent bacterial strategies to cope with the incubation as such. Researchers intending to investigate the effects of manipulation on complex microbial communities may therefore want to use short incubation periods or sophisticated systems that avoid these unspecific effects of long-term experiments.
Project description:To obtain further insights into the role of bacterial activity in biochar-based biofiltration systems, the expressed proteins of the bacterial community residing in biofiltration systems were identified by a metaproteomic approach.
