Project description:When grown on solid substrates, different microorganisms often form colonies with very specific morphologies. Whereas the pioneers of microbiology often used colony morphology to discriminate between species and strains, the phenomenon has not received much recent attention. In this study, we use a genome-wide assay in the model yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae to identify all genes that affect colony morphology. We show that several major signaling cascades, including the MAPK, TORC, SNF1 and RIM101 pathways play a role, indicating that morphological changes are a reaction to changing environments. Other genes that affect colony morphology are involved in protein sorting and epigenetic regulation. Interestingly, the screen reveals only few genes that are likely to play a direct role in establishing colony morphology, one notable exception being FLO11, a gene encoding a cell-surface adhesin that has already been implicated in colony morphology, biofilm formation, and invasive and pseudohyphal growth. Using a series of modified promoters to tune FLO11 expression, we confirm the central role of Flo11 and show that differences in FLO11 expression result in distinct colony morphologies. Together, our results provide a first comprehensive looks at the complex genetic network that underlies the diversity in the morphologies of yeast colonies.

Microarrays were used to measure gene expression between WT and FLO11 mutants in both liquid and solid medium to assess which genes induce altered colony morphology through FLO11.

Project description:Temperature is a crucial environmental signal that govers the occurrence of Vibrio cholerae and cholera outbreaks. To understand how temperature impacts the transcriptome of V. cholerae we performed whole-genome level transcriptional profiling using custom microarrays on cells grown at human body temperature (37 C) then shifted to temperatures V. cholerae experience in the environment (15 C and 25 C).

Project description:Burkholderia pseudomallei is the causative agent of melioidosis which is endemic to Southeast Asia and Northern Australia. It is a Gram-negative soil and water bacterium that represents a potential bioterrorism threat. Colony morphology variation is a remarkable feature in primary clinical cultures of B. pseudomallei. Differences in expression of several potential virulence and survival genes were believed to be associated with B. pseudomallei colony morphology variants. Microarrray approach was used to investigate alterations of the global B. pseudomallei transcriptome profile at the mid-logarithmic phase of growth, among the wild type (WT) and small colony variant (SCV) of B. pseudomallei pre- and post-exposed to human lung epithelial cells, A549. Generally, SCV pre- and post-exposed have lower metabolic requirements and consume lesser energy than WT pre- and post-exposed to A549; however, both WT and SCV may limit their metabolic activity during the infection of A549 cells and this is indicated by the down-regulation of genes implicated in metabolism of amino acids, carbohydrate, lipid, and other amino acids, and biodegradation of xenobiotics. On the other hand, many well-known virulence and survival factors including T3SS, T6SS, fimbriae, capsular polysaccharides, drug resistance and stress response were up-regulated in both WT and SCV pre- and post-exposed to A549 cells. Several virulence factors expressed at the mid-logarithmic phase of growth. Microarray analysis on the different morphotypes demonstrated the essential difference in bacterial response associated with virulence and survival pre- and post-exposed to A549 cells.

Project description:Clonal communities of single celled organisms, such as bacterial or fungal colonies and biofilms, are spatially structured, with subdomains of cells experiencing differing environmental conditions. In the development of such communities, cell specialization is not only important to respond and adapt to the local environment but has the potential to increase the fitness of the clonal community through division of labor. Here, we examine colony development in a yeast strain (F13) that produces colonies with a highly structured “ruffled” phenotype in the colony periphery and an unstructured “smooth” phenotype in the colony center. We demonstrate that in the F13 genetic background deletions of transcription factors can either increase (dig1 deletion, sfl1 deletion) or decrease (tec1deletion) the degree of colony structure. We identify genes responding additively and non-additively to the genotype and spatiotemporal factors and cluster these genes into a number of different expression patterns, including patterns that correlate closely with the degree of colony structure in each sample and include genes with known roles in the development of colony structure. Individual deletion of 26 genes sampled from different clusters identified 5 with strong effects on colony morphology (BUD8, CIS3, FLO11, MSB2 and SFG1), all of which eliminated or greatly reduced the structure of the F13 outer region.

Project description:Adaptation to shifting temperatures is crucial for the survival of the bacterial pathogen Vibrio cholerae. Here, we show that colony rugosity, a biofilm-associated phenotype, is regulated by temperature in V. cholerae strains that naturally lack the master biofilm transcriptional regulator HapR. Using transposon-insertion mutagenesis, we found the V. cholerae ortholog of BipA, a conserved ribosome-associated GTPase, is critical for this temperature-dependent phenomenon. Proteomic analyses revealed that loss of BipA alters the synthesis of >300 proteins in V. cholerae at 22°C, increasing the production of biofilm-related proteins including the key transcriptional activators VpsR and VpsT, as well as proteins important for diverse cellular processes. At low temperatures, BipA protein levels increase and are required for optimal ribosome assembly in V. cholerae, suggesting that control of BipA abundance is a mechanism by which bacteria can remodel their proteomes. Our study reveals a remarkable new facet of V. cholerae's complex biofilm regulatory network.
