Project description:This study is aimed to isolate marine actinomycetes from sediments from Andaman and the Gulf of Thailand. All 101 marine actinomycetes were screened for anti-biofilm activity. Streptomyces sp. GKU223 showed significantly inhibited biofilm formation of S. aureus. The evaluation of supernatants of anti-biofilm activity produced by Streptomyces sp. GKU223 has been performed. Since the interaction between marine actinomycetes and biofilm forming bacteria has never been investigated, proteomic analysis has been used to identify whole cell proteins involved in anti–biofilm activity. Understanding the interaction at molecular level will lead to sustainably use for anti-biofilm producing marine actinomycetes in pharmaceutical and medicinal applications in the future.

Project description:The formation of Listeria monocytogenes biofilms contributes to persistent contamination in food processing facilities. A microarray comparison of L. monocytogenes between the transcriptome of the strong biofilm forming strain (Bfms) Scott A and the weak biofilm forming (Bfmw) strain F2365 was conducted to identify genes potentially involved in biofilm formation. Among 951 genes with significant difference in expression between the two strains, a GntR-family response regulator encoding gene (LMOf2365_0414), designated lbrA, was found to be highly expressed in Scott A relative to F2365. A Scott A lbrA-deletion mutant, designated AW3, formed biofilm to a much lesser extent as compared to the parent strain by a rapid attachment assay and scanning electron microscopy. Complementation with lbrA from Scott A restored the Bfms phenotype in the AW3 derivative. A second microarray assessment using the lbrA deletion mutant AW3 and the wild type Scott A revealed a total of 304 genes with expression significantly different between the two strains, indicating the potential regulatory role of LbrA in L. monocytogenes. A cloned copy of Scott A lbrA was unable to confer enhanced biofilm forming potential in F2365, suggesting that additional factors contributed to weak biofilm formation by F2365. Findings from the study may lead to new strategies to modulate biofilm formation. Two comparisons were performed between 1) strong biofilm former Listeria monocytogenes strain ScottA versus weak biofilm former Listeria monocytogenes strain F2365; 2) Listeria monocytogenes ScottA LbrA deletion mutant strain versus Listeria monocytogenes ScottA. Four replicates were loaded for the first comparison and two replicates were loaded for the second comparison.

Project description:Biofilm formation by microorganisms is a major cause of recurring infections and removal of biofilms has proven to be extremely difficult given their inherent drug resistance. Understanding the biological processes that underlie biofilm formation is thus extremely important and could lead to the development of more effective drug therapies, resulting in better infection outcomes. Using the yeast S. cerevisiae as a biofilm model, overexpression screens identified DIG1, SFL1, HEK2, TOS8, SAN1 and ROF1/YHR177W as regulators of biofilm formation. Subsequent RNA-seq analysis of biofilm and non-biofilm forming strains revealed that all of the overexpression strains, other than DIG1 and TOS8, were adopting a single differential expression profile, although induced to varying degrees. TOS8 adopted a separate profile, while the expression profile of DIG1 reflected the common pattern seen in most of the strains, plus substantial DIG1-specific expression changes. We interpret the existence of the common transcriptional pattern seen across multiple, unrelated overexpression strains as reflecting a real transcriptional state, that the yeast cell can access through regulatory signaling mechanisms, allowing an adaptive morphological change between biofilm-forming and non-biofilm states.

Project description:Persistence of Listeria monocytogenes in retail deli environments is a serious food safety issue, potentially leading to cross-contamination of ready-to-eat foods such as deli meats, salads, and cheeses. We previously discovered strong evidence of L. monocytogenes persistence in delis across multiple states. We hypothesized that this was correlated with isolates’ innate characteristics, such as biofilm-forming capacity or gene differences.We further chose four isolates for RNA-sequencing analysis and compared their global biofilm transcriptome to their global planktonic transcriptome. Analysis of biofilm vs planktonic gene expression did not show the expected differences in gene expression patterns. Overall, L. monocytogenes persistence in the deli environment is likely a matter of poor sanitation and/or facility design, rather than isolates’ biofilm-forming capacity, sanitizer tolerance, or genomic content

Project description:To reveal the transcriptional profiles of Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae under biofilm and planktonic growth, we established a biofilm-forming culture method and constructed a mutant strain Δpga with defect in biofilm formation. Wild-type and Δpga mutant strains of Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae strain 4074 were cultured in bottles with shaking for planktonic (WT_PK) and in microplates in static status for biofilm (WT_BF, Δpga), respectively. The bacteria in logarithmic growth period of different culture groups were collected for RNA seq.

Project description:In nature, bacteria reside in biofilms - multicellular differentiated communities held together by extracellular matrix. In this work, we identified a novel subpopulation essential for biofilm formation – mineral-forming cells in Bacillus subtilis biofilms. This subpopulation contains an intracellular calcium-accumulating niche, in which the formation of a calcium carbonate mineral is initiated. As the biofilm colony develops, this mineral grows in a controlled manner, forming a functional macrostructure that serves the entire community. Consistently, biofilm development is prevented by inhibition of calcium uptake. Taken together, our results provide a clear demonstration of the orchestrated production of calcite exoskeleton, critical to morphogenesis in simple prokaryotes. We expect future research exploring this newly discovered process to shed further light on mechanisms of bacterial development.
