Project description:Roothans et al., analyzed heterotrophic denitrification processes that can be an important source of nitrous oxide. We employed planktonic nitrification-inhibited denitrifying enrichment cultures under alternating oxic-anoxic conditions. The dynamic conditions resulted in a general presence of the denitrifying enzymes. Overall, we show that aerobic denitrification should not be neglected as an ecologically relevant process.

Project description:Beller, H. R., T. E. Letain, A. Chakicherla, S. R. Kane, T. C. Legler, and M. A. Coleman. 2006. Whole-genome transcriptional analysis of chemolithoautotrophic thiosulfate oxidation by Thiobacillus denitrificans under aerobic vs. denitrifying conditions. Journal of Bacteriology 188:7005-7015. Thiobacillus denitrificans is one of the few known obligate chemolithoautotrophic bacteria capable of energetically coupling thiosulfate oxidation to denitrification as well as aerobic respiration. As very little is known about the differential expression of genes associated with key chemolithoautotrophic functions (such as sulfur-compound oxidation and CO2 fixation) under aerobic versus denitrifying conditions, we conducted whole-genome, cDNA microarray studies to explore this topic systematically. The microarrays identified 277 genes (approximately ten percent of the genome) as differentially expressed using Robust Multi-array Average statistical analysis and a 2-fold cutoff. Genes upregulated (ca. 6- to 150-fold) under aerobic conditions included a cluster of genes associated with iron acquisition (e.g., siderophore-related genes), a cluster of cytochrome cbb3 oxidase genes, cbbL and cbbS (encoding the large and small subunits of form I ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase, or RubisCO), and multiple molecular chaperone genes. Genes upregulated (ca. 4- to 95-fold) under denitrifying conditions included nar, nir, and nor genes (associated respectively with nitrate reductase, nitrite reductase, and nitric oxide reductase, which catalyze successive steps of denitrification), cbbM (encoding form II RubisCO), and genes involved with sulfur-compound oxidation (including two physically separated but highly similar copies of sulfide:quinone oxidoreductase and of dsrC, associated with dissimilatory sulfite reductase). Among genes associated with denitrification, relative expression levels (i.e., degree of upregulation with nitrate) tended to decrease in the order nar > nir > nor > nos. Reverse transcription, quantitative PCR analysis was used to validate these trends. Keywords: bacterial metabolism

Project description:An aerobic photosynthetic bacterium Roseobacter denitrificans OCh114 has two DNR- and one FNR-type transcriptional regulators, which are predicted to sense nitric oxide and oxygen, respectively. To investigate the role of these regulators in regulation of the denitrification genes, transcriptome profiles of mutant strains of R. denitrificans OCh114 deficient in the genes for the DNR- or FNR-type regulators were determined by NimbleGen Prokaryotic Expression array (12x135K).

Project description:Chemoautotrophic bacteria from the SUP05 clade often dominate anoxic waters in marine oxygen minimum zones (OMZs) where reduced sulfur can fuel carbon fixation and denitrification. Some members of the SUP05 clade are facultative aerobes that thrive at the boundaries of OMZs where they experience fluctuations in dissolved oxygen (DO). The degree to which SUP05 contribute to nitrate reduction in these regions depends on their sensitivity to oxygen. We evaluated growth and quantified differences in gene expression in Ca. T. autotrophicus strain EF1 from the SUP05 clade under high DO (22 μM), anoxic, and low DO (3.8 μM) concentrations. We show that strain EF1 cells respire oxygen and nitrate and that cells have higher growth rates, express more genes, and fix more carbon when oxygen becomes available for aerobic respiration. Evidence that facultatively aerobic SUP05 are more active and respire nitrate when oxygen becomes available at low concentrations suggests that they are an important source of nitrite across marine OMZ boundary layers.
