Project description:In the syntrophic interaction between fermentative bacteria (Pelotomaculum thermopropionicum) and methanogenic archaea (methanogens: Methanothemobacter thermautotrophicus), reducing equivalents (e.g., H2) produced by fermentative bacteria should efficiently be consumed by methanogens in order for the fermentation of volatile fatty acids (VFA, e.g., butyrate, propionate, and acetate) to be thermodynamically feasible. It has been known that physical approximation (e.g., coaggregation) between VFA-fermenting syntrophic bacteria (syntrophs) and hydrogenotrophic methanogens is necessary for efficient H2 transfer between them. Our previous study has shown that, at an early exponential growth phase of syntrophic coculture, cells of Pelotomaculum thermopropionicum (syntroph) were connected to cells of Methanothermobacter thermautotrophicus (methanogen) via unidentified extracellular filamentous appendages, after which they started to coaggregate, suggesting that the filamentous appendages may have been important for their syntrophic interaction. The filamentous appendages seemed to specifically connect these syntrophic partners, since such pairwise connection has been observed neither in single-species cultures (monocultures) nor in mixtures with other microbes.<br>We found that P. thermopropionicum has putative gene clusters for flagellum and pilus, while no extracellular filament gene was identified in the M. thermautotrophicus genome. So we examined transcriptome responses of M. thermautotrophicus to the contact with flagellar filament protein (FliC) and flagellar cap protein (FliD) of P. thermopropionicum.

Project description:Biogenic methane formation, methanogenesis, a key process in the global carbon cycle is the only energy metabolism known to sustain growth of the microorganisms employing it, the methanogenic archaea. All known methanogenic pathways converge at the methane-liberating step where also the terminal electron acceptor of methanogenic respiration, the heterodisulfide of coenzyme M and coenzyme B is formed. Carbon monoxide (CO) utilization of Methanosarcina acetivorans is unique in that the organism can shift from methanogenesis towards acetogenesis. Here, we show that M. acetivorans can dispense of methanogenesis for energy conservation completely. By disrupting the methanogenic pathway through targeted mutagenesis, followed by adaptive evolution, a strain capable of sustained growth by CO-dependent acetogenesis was created. Still, a minute flux through the methane-liberating reaction remained essential, which was attributed to the involvement of the heterodisulfide in at least one essential anabolic reaction. Genomic and proteomic analysis showed that substantial metabolic rewiring had occurred in the strain. Most notably, heterodisulfide reductase, the terminal respiratory oxidoreductase was eliminated to funnel the heterodisulfide towards anabolism. These results suggest that the metabolic flexibility of “methanogenic” archaea is much greater than anticipated and open avenues for probing the mechanism of energetic coupling and the crosstalk between catabolism and anabolism.

Project description:Methane-generating Archaea drive the final step in anaerobic organic compound mineralization and dictate the carbon flow of Earth’s diverse anaerobic ecosystems. Although such Archaea were presumed to be restricted to life on simple compounds like H2, acetate or methanol, an archaeon, Methermicoccus shengliensis, was recently found to convert methoxylated aromatic compounds to methane. Methoxylated aromatic compounds as component of lignin and coal are present in most subsurface sediments. Despite the significance and novelty of this outstanding archaeon its metabolism has not yet been explored. In this study, transcriptomics and proteomics reveal that M. shengliensis uses a demethoxylation system that is more related to that from acetogenic bacteria than to the methyl transferase system used for methylotrophic methanogenesis. It activates methoxy-groups using tetrahydromethanopterin as the carrier, a mechanism distinct from conventional methanogenic methyl-transfer systems dependent on Coenzyme M.

Project description:Biogas plants (BGPs) produce methane and carbon dioxide through the anaerobic digestion of agricultural waste. Identification of strategies for more stable biogas plant operation and increased biogas yields require better knowledge about the individual degradation steps and the interactions within the microbial communities. The metaprotein profiles of ten agricultural BGPs and one laboratory reactor were investigated using a metaproteomics pipeline. Fractionation of samples using SDS-PAGE was combined with a high resolution Orbitrap mass spectrometer, metagenome sequences specific for BGPs, and the MetaProteomeAnalyzer software. This enabled us to achieve a high coverage of the metaproteome of the BGP microbial communities. The investigation revealed approx. 17,000 protein groups (metaproteins), covering the majority of the expected metabolic networks of the biogas process such as hydrolysis, transport, fermentation processes, amino acid metabolism, methanogenesis and bacterial C1-metabolism. Biological functions could be linked with the taxonomic composition. Two different types of BGPs were classified by the abundance of the acetoclastic methanogenesis and by abundance of enzymes implicating syntrophic acetate oxidation. Linking of the identified metaproteins with the process steps of the Anaerobic Digestion Model 1 proved the main model assumptions but indicated also some improvements such as considering syntrophic acetate oxidation. Beside the syntrophic interactions, the microbial communities in BGPs are also shaped by competition for substrates and host-phage interactions causing cell lysis. In particular, larger amounts of Bacteriophages for the bacterial families Bacillaceae, Enterobacteriaceae and Clostridiaceae, exceeding the cell number of the Bacteria by approximately four-fold. In contrast, less Bacteriophages were found for Archaea, but more CRISPR proteins were detected. On the one hand, the virus induced turnover of biomass might cause slow degradation of complex biomass in BGP. On the other hand, the lysis of bacterial cells allows cycling of essential nutrients.

Project description:Hydrogenotrophic methanogenic Archaea are defined by a H2 requirement for growth. Despite this requirement, many hydrogenotrophs are also capable of growth with formate as an electron donor for methanogenesis. Hydrogenotrophs respond to H2 starvation both phenotypically and at the level of gene expression; however, the responses during growth on formate have not been characterized. Here we report that during continuous culture of Methanococcus maripaludis under defined nutrient conditions, growth yields relative to methane production decreased markedly with either H2 excess or formate excess, suggesting that energy spilling occurs. Using microarray analysis, we show that the expression of genes encoding F420-dependent steps of methanogenesis, including one of two formate dehydrogenases, increased with H2 starvation, but with formate occurred at high levels regardless of limitation or excess. One gene, encoding H2-dependent methylene-tetrahydromethanopterin dehydrogenase, decreased in expression with either H2 limitation or formate limitation. Expression of genes for the second formate dehydrogenase, molybdenum-dependent formylmethanofuran dehydrogenase, and molybdenum transport increased specifically with formate limitation. Of the two formate dehydrogenases, only the first could support growth on formate in batch culture where formate was in excess.

Project description:Methane is a well-known factor in green house effect and also could be an alternative energy, which produced via methanogenesis by methanogenic archaea. Methanohalophilus portucalensis FDF1T is a halophilic methylotrophic methanogen and has been used as a model to study osmoadaptation in fluctuated abiotic environmental conditions. Here we report a genome-wide phosphoproteomic analysis of M. portucalensis FDF1T to uncover the possible phosphorylation-mediated regulations in methanogenesis and osmoadaptation. According to the biological function analysis revealed 20.6% of total 149 phosphoproteins were involved in the regulation of the single carbon metabolism for methanogenesis and osmoadaptation. Together with genome sequencing and phosphoproteomic analysis, we provided the first evidence to indicate protein phosphorylation networks in regulating the pyrrolysine (Pyl) mediated translation of methylotrophic methyltransferase. Furthermore, the functional assays of glycine sarcosine N-methyltransferase revealed that the enzymatic activity was modulated by threonine phosphorylation. Collectively, our results not only provide new insight into phosphorylation-mediated regulations in single carbon energy metabolism but also clearly demonstrate that phosphorylation plays a critical role in osmolyte betaine synthesis through a phospho-switch mechanism.

Project description:Purpose: To understand the adaptive mechanisms of Methanocellales to low H2 and syntrophic growth. Methods: We analyzed the transcriptomes of M. conradii and P. thermopropionicum under monoculture and syntrophic coculture conditions by strand specific mRNA sequencing using Illumina Hiseq 2000. Four biological replicates were sequenced. The sequence reads that passed quality filters were analyzed by Burrows–Wheeler Aligner (BWA) followed by HTSeq and DESeq2. qRT–PCR validation was performed using SYBR Green assays Results: The results showed that M. conradii and P. thermopropionicum interacted closely and synchronized their gene transcription during the syntrophic growth. In coculture, M. conradii and P. thermopropionicum significantly enhanced the transcription of genes related to energy conservation processes, including methanogenesis, propionate degradation and electron bifurcation. By contrast, the genes coding for biosynthesis steps were downregulated in both M. conradii and P. thermopropionicum during the syntrophic growth. The physiology experiment showed that formate but not H2 inhibited syntrophic oxidation of propionate. Accordingly, formate dehydrogenase-encoding genes in both M. conradii and P. thermopropionicum were markedly upregulated, indicating that formate plays an important role in the interspecies electron transfer between M. conradii and P. thermopropionicum in coculture. Conclusions: our study provides abundant transcriptome data indicating the adaptations of Methanocella spp. to H2 limitation and suggests that flavin based electron bifurcations are critical to the syntrophic growth in both M. conradii and P. thermopropionicum.
