Analysis of cellulose synthesis in a high‑producing acetic acid bacterium Komagataeibacter hansenii

ABSTRACT: Bacterial cellulose (BC) represents a renewable biomaterial with unique properties promising for biotechnology and biomedicine. Komagataeibacter hansenii ATCC 53,582 is a well-characterized high-yield producer of BC used in the industry. Its genome encodes three distinct cellulose synthases (CS), bcsAB1, bcsAB2, and bcsAB3, which together with genes for accessory proteins are organized in operons of different complexity. The genetic foundation of its high celluloseproducing phenotype was investigated by constructing chromosomal in-frame deletions of the CSs and of two predicted regulatory diguanylate cyclases (DGC), dgcA and dgcB. Proteomic characterization suggested that BcsAB1 was the decisive CS because of its high expression and its exclusive contribution to the formation of microcrystalline cellulose. BcsAB2 showed a lower expression level but contributes significantly to the tensile strength of BC and alters fiber diameter significantly as judged by scanning electron microscopy. Nevertheless, no distinct extracellular polymeric substance (EPS) from this operon was identified after static cultivation. Although transcription of bcsAB3 was observed, expression of the protein was below the detection limit of proteome analysis. Alike BcsAB2, deletion of BcsAB3 resulted in a visible reduction of the cellulose fiber diameter. The high abundance of BcsD and the accessory proteins CmcAx, CcpAx, and BglxA emphasizes their importance for the proper formation of the cellulosic network. Characterization of deletion mutants lacking the DGC genes dgcA and dgcB suggests a new regulatory mechanism of cellulose synthesis and cell motility in K. hansenii ATCC 53,582. Our findings form the basis for rational tailoring of the characteristics of BC.

Project description:Enzymatic degradation of plant biomass requires the coordinated action of various enzymes. In this study, the production of reducing sugars from pectic substrates and sugar beet pulp (SBP) was investigated and compared using commercial enzyme preparations, including M2, pectinase (E1) from Aspergillus niger, Viscozyme® L (V-L) and L-40. V-L, a cellulolytic enzyme mix produced by Aspergillus sp. was further evaluated as the most robust enzyme cocktail with the strongest SBP degradation ability in terms of dynamic release of monosaccharides, methanol, and acetate from substrate SBP. Glucose, the building block of cellulose, was the first product to reach its maximum concentration within 2.5 hours. In contrast, the major monosaccharides in pectin, including arabinose and galacturonic acid, were continuously released from the residue until reaching a peak of 2,092 mg L-1 and 7,069 mg L-1 after 19 hours of fermentation. Label-free proteomics analysis (MS/MS) of V-L revealed 151 individual proteins. Of these, 137 proteins were annotated as containing a carbohydrate-active enzymes (CAZyme) module. Notably, of the 50 most abundant proteins, which accounted for over 90% of the protein amount in V-L, ca. 40% were predicted to be involved in pectin degradation (belonging mainly to CAZyme families GH28, CE8, CE16, PL1 and PL3). To reveal the role of individual putative key enzymes of pectic substrate decomposition, two galacturonases (PglA and PglB), which are core of pectin-degrading enzymes of the GH28 family, were heterologously expressed in Pichia pastoris strain GB10 and further characterized. PglA and PglB demonstrated maximum activity at 57 °C and 67 °C, respectively. Both enzymes exhibited endo-cleavage patterns towards polygalacturonic acid (PGA) and released oligosaccharides with different degrees of polymerization (DP). In conclusion, our study identified two pectin-cleaving enzymes present in major amounts in a highly efficient SBP-saccharifying enzyme mix and characterized some of their properties. Further studies along this line may facilitate the understanding of SBP degradation and may help to design improved artificial enzyme mixtures with a lower complexity than V-L for future application in biotechnology.
