Project description:Environmental meta-omics is rapidly expanding as sequencing capabilities improve, computing technologies become more accessible, and associated costs are reduced. The in situ snapshots of marine microbial life afforded by these data provide a growing knowledge of the functional roles of communities in ecosystem processes. Metaproteomics allows for the characterization of the dynamic proteome of a complex microbial community. It has the potential to reveal impacts of microbial metabolism on biogeochemical transport, storage and cycling (for example, Hawley et al., 2014), while additionally clarifying which taxonomic groups perform these roles. Previous work illuminated many of the important functions and interactions within marine microbial communities (for example, Morris et al., 2010), but a review of ocean metaproteomics literature revealed little standardization in bioinformatics pipelines for detecting peptides and inferring and annotating proteins. As prevalence of these data sets grows, there is a critical need to develop standardized approaches for mass spectrometry (MS) proteomic spectrum identification and annotation to maximize the scientific value of the data obtained. Here, we demonstrate that bioinformatics decisions made throughout the peptide identification process are as important for data interpretation as choices of sampling protocol and bacterial community manipulation experimental design. Our analysis offers a best practices guide for environmental metaproteomics.

Project description:LC-MS/MS analysis formula was performed for sera from 22 mother-infant dyads with HLA-conferred susceptibility to type 1 diabetes that were weaned to either an extensively hydrolyzed or regular infant milk. The samples included three samples from each mother (at the beginning of third trimester, at the time of delivery and 3 months postpartum) and five samples from each child (cord blood, 3, 6, 9 and 12 months). Targeted proteomics was used to validate differences observed between the feeding groups.Correlations in protein intensities within the dyads were detected together with perinatal and age-related changes.

Project description:The human gut microbiota is an important metabolic organ, yet little is known about how its individual species interact, establish dominant positions, and respond to changes in environmental factors such as diet. In this study, gnotobiotic mice were colonized with an artificial microbiota comprising 12 sequenced human gut bacterial species and fed oscillating diets of disparate composition. Rapid, reproducible, and reversible changes in the structure of this assemblage were observed. Time-series microbial RNA-Seq analyses revealed staggered functional responses to diet shifts throughout the assemblage that were heavily focused on carbohydrate and amino acid metabolism. High-resolution shotgun metaproteomics confirmed many of these responses at a protein level. One member, Bacteroides cellulosilyticus WH2, proved exceptionally fit regardless of diet. Its genome encoded more carbohydrate active enzymes than any previously sequenced member of the Bacteroidetes. Transcriptional profiling indicated that B. cellulosilyticus WH2 is an adaptive forager that tailors its versatile carbohydrate utilization strategy to available dietary polysaccharides, with a strong emphasis on plant-derived xylans abundant in dietary staples like cereal grains. Two highly expressed, diet-specific polysaccharide utilization loci (PULs) in B. cellulosilyticus WH2 were identified, one with characteristics of xylan utilization systems. Introduction of a B. cellulosilyticus WH2 library comprising >90,000 isogenic transposon mutants into gnotobiotic mice, along with the other artificial community members, confirmed that these loci represent critical diet-specific fitness determinants. Carbohydrates that trigger dramatic increases in expression of these two loci and many of the organism’s 111 other predicted PULs were identified by RNA-Seq during in vitro growth on 31 distinct carbohydrate substrates, allowing us to better interpret in vivo RNA-Seq and proteomics data. These results offer insight into how gut microbes adapt to dietary perturbations at both a community level and from the perspective of a well-adapted symbiont with exceptional saccharolytic capabilities, and illustrate the value of artificial communities. An artificial community of 12 human gut bacterial species was introduced into germ-free male C57BL/6J mice at 10-12 weeks of age. Mice were split into two treatment groups, with each treatment group receiving an oscillating diet regimen in which animals were switched between a low fat, high plant polysaccharide (LF/HPP) diet and a high fat, high sugar (HF/HS) diet at two week intervals. One group was started on the LF/HPP diet, was switched to the HF/HS diet, and was then switched back to the LF/HPP diet. The other group was started on the HF/HS diet, was switched to the LF/HPP diet, and was then switched back to the HF/HS diet. Cecal contents were collected from each animal at the time of sacrifice which corresponded to the end of each treatment group's third diet phase. Separate gene expression profiles for each of the 12 species in the artificial community were generated for each sample using a series of custom mask files. 14 total samples (7 from animals consuming the LF/HPP diet at the time of sacrifice, 7 from animals consuming the HF/HS diet at the time of sacrifice). 12 gene expression profiles per sample (1/species).

Project description:The gut microbiome is a complex microbial community that has a significant influence on the host. Microbial interactions in the gut are mediated by dietary substrates, especially complex polysaccharides. In this environment, breakdown products from larger carbohydrates and short chain fatty acids are commonly shared among gut microbes. Understanding the forces that guide microbiome development and composition is important to determine its role in health and in the intervention of the gut microbiome as a therapeutic tool. Recently, modeling approaches such as genome-scale models and time-series analyses have been useful to predict microbial interactions. In this study, a bottom-up approach was followed to develop a mathematical model based on microbial growth equations that incorporate metabolic sharing and inhibition. The model was developed using experimental in vitro data from a system comprising four microorganisms of the infant gut microbiome (Bifidobacterium longum subsp. infantis, Lactobacillus acidophilus, Escherichia coli, and Bacteroides vulgatus), one substrate (fructooligosaccharides, FOS), and evaluating two metabolic products (acetate and lactate). After parameter optimization, the model accurately predicted bacterial abundance in co-cultures from mono-culture data. In addition, a good correlation was observed between the experimental data with predicted FOS consumption and acid production. B. infantis and L. acidophilus were dominant under these conditions. Further model validation included cultures with the four-species in a bioreactor using FOS. The model was able to predict the predominance of the two aforementioned species, as well as depletion of acetate and lactate. Finally, the model was tested for parameter identifiability and sensitivity. These results suggest that variations in microbial abundance and activities in the infant gut were mainly explained by metabolic interactions, and could be properly modeled using Monod kinetics with metabolic interactions. The model could be scaled to include data from larger consortia, or be applied to microbial communities where sharing metabolic resources is important in shaping bacterial abundance. Moreover, the model could be useful in designing microbial consortia with desired properties such as higher acid production.

Project description:Composition of the gut microbiome is influenced by diet. Milk or formula oligosaccharides act as prebiotics, bioactives that promote the growth of beneficial gut microbes. The influence of prebiotics on microbial interactions is not well understood. Here we investigated the transformation of prebiotics by a consortium of four representative species of the infant gut microbiome, and how their interactions changed with dietary substrates. First, we optimized a culture medium resembling certain infant gut parameters. A consortium containing Bifidobacterium longum subsp. infantis, Bacteroides vulgatus, Escherichia coli and Lactobacillus acidophilus was grown on fructooligosaccharides (FOS) or 2'-fucosyllactose (2FL) in mono- or co-culture. While Bi. infantis and Ba. vulgatus dominated growth on 2FL, their combined growth was reduced. Besides, interaction coefficients indicated strong competition, especially on FOS. While FOS was rapidly consumed by the consortium, B. infantis was the only microbe displaying significant consumption of 2FL. Acid production by the consortium resembled the metabolism of microorganisms dominating growth in each substrate. Finally, the consortium was tested in a bioreactor, observing similar predominance but more pronounced acid production and substrate consumption. This study indicates that the chemical nature of prebiotics modulate microbial interactions in a consortium of infant gut species.

Project description:Objective: To evaluate if the number of admitted extremely preterm (EP) infants (born before 28 weeks of gestational age) differed in the neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) of the SafeBoosC-III consortium during the global lockdown when compared to the corresponding time period in 2019. Design: This is a retrospective, observational study. Forty-six out of 79 NICUs (58%) from 17 countries participated. Principal investigators were asked to report the following information: (1) Total number of EP infant admissions to their NICU in the 3 months where the lockdown restrictions were most rigorous during the first phase of the COVID-19 pandemic, (2) Similar EP infant admissions in the corresponding 3 months of 2019, (3) the level of local restrictions during the lockdown period, and (4) the local impact of the COVID-19 lockdown on the everyday life of a pregnant woman. Results: The number of EP infant admissions during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic was 428 compared to 457 in the corresponding 3 months in 2019 (-6.6%, 95% CI -18.2 to +7.1%, p = 0.33). There were no statistically significant differences within individual geographic regions and no significant association between the level of lockdown restrictions and difference in the number of EP infant admissions. A post-hoc analysis based on data from the 46 NICUs found a decrease of 10.3%in the total number of NICU admissions (n = 7,499 in 2020 vs. n = 8,362 in 2019). Conclusion: This ad hoc study did not confirm previous reports of a major reduction in the number of extremely pretermbirths during the first phase of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Project description:Saccharomyces cerevisiae is currently widely used as a model to study chronological aging of metazoan cells. Chronological aging is typically studied in aerobic stationary phase (SP) cultures, i.e. the final stage of batch cultures in which growth is arrested due to exogenous carbon source exhaustion. Survival of yeast cells in SP defines their chronological lifespan (CLS). S. cerevisiae SP cultures have strongly contributed to the understanding of cellular mechanisms involved in aging and indicated a key role for oxygen. Oxygen is the natural starting point for reactive oxygen species (ROS) that may both have malignant and beneficial effects on aging. In addition, oxygen allows yeast to grow on ethanol and organic acids formed during the initial respiro-fermentative growth phase on glucose. This post-diauxic phase is hallmarked by reduced growth rates, increased expression of genes involved in SP survival, and increased stress resistance. To date, the role of oxygen and respiration in aging has mostly been studied using respiratory deficient mutants, and respiration repressing agents. However, genetic or chemical interventions may result in unwanted side effects that influence survival in SP. We therefore followed a different approach to evaluate the impact of oxygen availability on yeast robustness in SP, i.e. its CLS and stress resistance, by using the capability of S. cerevisiae to grow under anaerobic conditions. A thorough physiological comparison of strictly anaerobic and aerobic SP cultures revealed that the presence of oxygen during growth and aging of S. cerevisiae strongly affects its energetic status, longevity and stress tolerance in a positive way. Combining the physiological data with genome-wide expression analysis revealed that the oxygen-dependent diauxic growth phase enabled the full induction of robustness in S. cerevisiae, and points to appropriate pre-conditioning of cells as a crucial factor to survive starvation. These findings highlight the importance of exogenous energy availability in the conditions leading to growth arrest, and bring new insight on the role of oxygen in the aging of eukaryotes. The goal of the present study is to evaluate the impact of oxygen availability on yeast longevity. More specifically, the questions addressed are whether the presence of a â??conditioningâ?? post-diauxic phase and the ability to utilize efficiently reserves, characteristics of aerobicity, affects yeast survival during stationary phase. To this end, S. cerevisiae was cultivated in well controlled bioreactors under the presence or absence of oxygen. S. cerevisiaeâ??s response to oxygen availability was monitored by an in-depth physiological analysis combined with genome wide expression analysis.

Project description:The yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae is an important component of the wine fermentation process and determines various attributes of the final product. However, lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are also an integral part of the microflora of any fermenting must. Various wine microorganism engineering projects have been endeavoured in the past in order to change certain wine characteristics, namely aroma compound composition, ethanol concentration, levels of toxic/ allergenic compounds etc. Most of these projects focus on a specific gene or pathway, whereas our approach aims to understand the genetically complex traits responsible for these phenotypes in a systematic manner by implementing a transcriptomic analysis of yeast in mixed fermentations with the LAB O. oeni. Our aim is to investigate interactions between yeast and LAB on a gene expression level to identify targets for modification of yeast and O. oeni in a directed manner. Our goal was to identify the impact that the common wine microorganism O. oeni (malolactic bacteria) has on fermenting yeast cells on a gene expression level. To this end we co-inoculated the yeast and bacteria at the start of fermentation in a synthetic wine must, using yeast-only fermentations witout O. oeni as a control. Fermentations were carried out in synthetic wine must in triplicate for both the control S. cerevisiae VIN13 strain and the mixed fermentation of VIN13 and O. oeni (strain S5). Sampling of yeast for RNA extractions were performed at day 3 of fermentation, during the exponential growth phase of the yeast cells, and again at day 7 of fermentation, during the early stationary growth phase.
