A deep-sea bacterium senses and utilizes blue light via a BLUF-dependent pathway

ABSTRACT: Light was a ubiquitous environmental stimulus. Deep-sea microorganisms were exposed to a pervasive blue light optical environment. The utilization of blue light by deep-sea microorganisms, especially non-photosynthetic microorganisms, and the downstream pathway after light reception were obscure. Under the enrichment condition surrounded by blue light, a potential novel species named Spongiibacter nanhainus CSC3.9 from the deep-sea cold seep was isolated. Its growth and metabolism under blue light were significantly better than other wavelengths of light. Six blue light sensing proteins, including four BLUF (Blue Light Using Flavin) and two bacteriophytochrome, were annotated in the genome of strain CSC3.9. Then, with the assist of proteomic analysis, we demonstrated that 15960-BLUF was a crucial blue light receptor that interfered with motor behavior through chemotaxis pathway by means of in vivo and in vitro verification. In addition, 15960-BLUF mediated part of the blue light to promote the growth of strain CSC3.9. Further, we summarized the functional BLUF proteins from isolated marine microorganisms, and the high abundance distribution of BLUF similar to the downstream unresponsive domain type in strain CSC3.9 was demonstrated. The widespread distribution of BLUF protein in marine bacteria implied the extensiveness of this regulatory mechanism, and wavelength variation of light was a potential means to isolate uncultured microorganisms. This was the first reported in deep-sea microorganisms that BLUF-dependent physiological response to blue light. It provided a new clue for the blue light adaptation of microorganisms in disphotic zone.

Project description:Low temperature is the most wide-spread “hostile” environmental factor on earth while at the same time the most common condition for marine organisms. However, the unique adaptive mechanisms that enable the survival of marine microorganisms under low temperature are unclear. Since low temperature is always accompanied by high pressure and other adverse conditions in marine environment, here we studied the metabolic adaptation of a marine strain to prolonged low temperature under high pressure. The strain studied is a psychrotolerant Microbacterium sediminis isolated from deep sea sediment. By using 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)-based metabolomics approach, we detected the spectral data of polar extracts of the strain M. sediminis, and applied multivariate statistical analysis methods together with univariate analysis to analyze metabolic profiles associated to different conditions. The metabolic profiles of the M. sediminis strain cultivated under high pressure at low temperature were distinctly different from those cultivated under high pressure at normal temperature. We identified the differential metabolites which were responsible for distinguishing the metabolic profiles and compared their relative intensities between groups. We also compared the different adaptive responses of the strain at different growth stages to the prolonged low temperature under high pressure. We proposed that the low-temperature adapting process of the M. sediminis strain involves, 1) the regulation of osmotic pressure using amino acids as possible alternative osmolytes, and, 2) the strengthen of glycolysis and the maintenance of TCA cycle via amino acids anaplerotic reaction. We put forward that the main difference of adaptation to low temperature for the strain at different growth stages was related to energy metabolism. Our findings improved the understanding of the low-temperature adaptive mechanisms for marine microorganisms under high pressure on the metabolic level.
