Project description:Thiamine prevents diabetic complications, and its deficiency, resulting from mutation of thiamine transporter gene SLC19A2 has been linked to diabetes mellitus. We previously found that thiamine mitigates metabolic disorders in spontaneous hypertensive rats, harboring defects in glucose and fatty acid metabolism. The current study extends our hypothesis that that thiamine intervention may impact metabolic abnormalities in polyphagia-induced Otsuka Long-Evans Tokushima Fatty (OLETF) rats that lack functional cholecystokinin A receptors. Male OLETF rats exhibit progressive obesity and metabolic disorders similar to human metabolic syndrome. Male OLETF rats (4-week-old) were given free access to water containing either 0.2 % or 0 % of thiamine for 51 weeks. At the end of treatment, blood parameters and cardiac functions were analyzed. After sacrifice, the organs were removed and weights of organs and histological findings were evaluated. In addition, differential gene expression in the liver was analyzed. Thiamine intervention averted obesity, mainly resulting from reduction of visceral adiposity, and prevented metabolic disorders in OLETF rats. Histological evaluation revealed that thiamine alleviated adipocyte hypertrophy, steatosis in the liver, heart, and skeletal muscle, interstitial fibrosis in the heart and kidney, fatty degeneration in the pancreas, thickening of the basement membrane of vasculature, and glomerulopathy and mononuclear cell infiltration in the kidney. Cardiac and renal functions were preserved in thiamine treatment. Seventy-six genes showed at least two-fold difference in hepatic expression with thiamine treatment. Several of them participated in carbohydrate metabolism (Hk1, Pygb, Slc2a8, Rtn4, Rhbdl1, and Tspan8), lipid metabolism (Pla2g15, Por, and Lmf1), vascular physiology (S1pr1, Epha8, Rtn4, Slc7a13, Cdh15, Itga9, Cd151, Cd40lg, Nid1 and Lamb1), and carcinogenesis (Lmo7, Fgfr3, and Dmbt1). Modification of transcript expression well accorded with the findings of blood parameters and organ morphologies. Thiamine prevented polyphagia-induced obesity and metabolic and functional disorders in OLETF rats.

Project description:Here we have compared adult wildtype (N2) C. elegans gene expression when grown on different bacterial environments/fod sources in an effort to model naturally occuring nematode-bacteria interactions at the Konza Prairie. We hypothesize that human-induced changes to natural environments, such as the addition of nitrogen fertalizer, have effects on the bacterial community in soils and this drives downstream changes in the structure on soil bacterial-feeding nematode community structure. Here we have used transcriptional profiling to identify candidate genes involved in the interaction of nematodes and bacteria in nature.

Project description:Microbial communities colonize plant tissues and contribute to host function. How these communities form and how individual members contribute to shaping the microbial community are not well understood. Synthetic microbial communities, where defined individual isolates are combined, can serve as valuable model systems for uncovering the organizational principles of communities. Using genome-defined organisms, systematic analysis by computationally-based network reconstruction can lead to mechanistic insights and the metabolic interactions between species. In this study, 10 bacterial strains isolated from the Populus deltoides rhizosphere were combined and passaged in two different media environments to form a stable microbial community. The membership and relative abundances of the strains stabilized after around 5 growth cycles and resulted in just a few dominant strains. To unravel the underlying metabolic interactions, the KBase platform was used for constructing community-level models and for elucidating the metabolic processes involved in shaping the microbial communities. These analyses were complemented by growth curves of the individual isolates, pairwise interaction screens, and metaproteomics of the community. Flux balance analysis was used to model the metabolic potential in the microbial community and identify potential metabolic exchanges among the component species. Revealing the mechanisms of interaction among plant-associated microorganisms will provide insights into strategies for engineering microbial communities that can potentially increase plant growth and disease resistance. Further, deciphering the membership and metabolic potentials of a bacterial community will enable the design of synthetic co-cultures with desired biological functions.

Project description:Genome scale metabolic model of Drosophila gut microbe Acetobacter fabarum
Abstract -
An important goal for many nutrition-based microbiome studies is to identify the metabolic function of microbes in complex microbial communities and their impact on host physiology. This research can be confounded by poorly understood effects of community composition and host diet on the metabolic traits of individual taxa. Here, we investigated these multiway interactions by constructing and analyzing metabolic models comprising every combination of five bacterial members of the Drosophila gut microbiome (from single taxa to the five-member community of Acetobacter and Lactobacillus species) under three nutrient regimes. We show that the metabolic function of Drosophila gut bacteria is dynamic, influenced by community composition, and responsive to dietary modulation. Furthermore, we show that ecological interactions such as competition and mutualism identified from the growth patterns of gut bacteria are underlain by a diversity of metabolic interactions, and show that the bacteria tend to compete for amino acids and B vitamins more frequently than for carbon sources. Our results reveal that, in addition to fermentation products such as acetate, intermediates of the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle, including 2-oxoglutarate and succinate, are produced at high flux and cross-fed between bacterial taxa, suggesting important roles for TCA cycle intermediates in modulating Drosophila gut microbe interactions and the potential to influence host traits. These metabolic models provide specific predictions of the patterns of ecological and metabolic interactions among gut bacteria under different nutrient regimes, with potentially important consequences for overall community metabolic function and nutritional interactions with the host.IMPORTANCE Drosophila is an important model for microbiome research partly because of the low complexity of its mostly culturable gut microbiota. Our current understanding of how Drosophila interacts with its gut microbes and how these interactions influence host traits derives almost entirely from empirical studies that focus on individual microbial taxa or classes of metabolites. These studies have failed to capture fully the complexity of metabolic interactions that occur between host and microbe. To overcome this limitation, we reconstructed and analyzed 31 metabolic models for every combination of the five principal bacterial taxa in the gut microbiome of Drosophila This revealed that metabolic interactions between Drosophila gut bacterial taxa are highly dynamic and influenced by cooccurring bacteria and nutrient availability. Our results generate testable hypotheses about among-microbe ecological interactions in the Drosophila gut and the diversity of metabolites available to influence host traits.

Project description:A specific interaction between the mold Scopulariopsis and S. equorum shifts the composition of the Staphylococcus community from dominance by a strong competitor, S. xylosus, to dominance by a weak competitor, S. equorum. To better understand specific genes and pathways involved with Scopulariopsis stimulation of S. equorum, we used RNA-seq to identify CDS that were up- and down-regulated in the genome of S. equorum in the presence and absence of the mold Scopulariopsis. We compared the effect of Scopulariopsis on the S. equorum transcriptome to the effect of Penicillium on the S. equorum transcriptome to determine why Scopulariopsis had such strong growth promotion effects relative to Penicillium. In the presence of both molds, Methionine biosynthesis and uptake pathways are strongly down-regulated, while Thiamine biosynthesis is up-regulated, suggesting that bacterial-fungal interactions alter the availability of free amino acids and nutrients in cheese environment for both partners. In the presence of Scopulariopsis only, there is a decrease in expression of genes involved with iron acquisition and the production of siderophores, notably the staphyloferrin B operon.

Project description:Chemical signaling in the plant microbiome can have drastic effects on microbial community structure, and on host growth and development. Previously, we demonstrated that the auxin metabolic signal interference performed by the bacterial genus Variovorax via a novel auxin degradation locus was essential for maintaining stereotypic root development in an ecologically-relevant bacterial synthetic community. Here, we dissect the Variovorax auxin degradation locus to define the genes necessary and sufficient for indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) degradation and signal interference. We determine the crystal structures and binding properties of the operon’s MarR-family repressor with IAA and other auxins. We identify auxin-degradation operons across the bacterial tree of life and define two distinct types based on gene content and metabolic products: iac-like and iad-like. We solve the structures of MarRs from representatives of each auxin degradation operon type, establishing that each have distinct IAA binding pockets. Comparison of representative IAA degrading strains from diverse bacterial genera show that while all degrade IAA, only strains containing iad-like auxin degrading operons interfere with auxin signaling in a complex synthetic community context. This suggests that iad-like operon containing strains, including Variovorax species, play a key ecological role in modulating auxins in the plant microbiome.
