Project description:Lignocellulose, the structural component of plant cells, is a major agricultural by-product and the most abundant terrestrial source of biopolymers on Earth. The complex and insoluble nature of lignocellulose limits its conversion into value-added commodities and, currently, efficient transformation requires expensive pre-treatments and high loadings of enzymes. Here we report on lignocellulolytic enzyme discovery from Parascedosporium putredinis NO1 during its deconstruction of wheat straw probing both the cultural supernatant and selecting for proteins bound to insoluble component of the growth culture.

Project description:Convergent microbial biocatalysis has emerged as a promising approach for the conversion of lignin side-streams into value-added chemicals in recent decades. However, the current knowledge of metabolic pathways directing the bioconversion of lignin-related aromatics is still limited to a few microbial species and unavailable for some of these compounds. Thus, the aim of this study was to identify the genes involved in the bioconversion of aromatic compounds in Xanthomonas citri subsp. citri 306 (X. citri 306), a bacterium belonging to a compelling yet untapped genus for studies on lignin-related aromatics metabolism. For this purpose, we used an integrative approach including genome data mining, RNA-seq, enzymology and gene knockout studies. The RNA-seq analysis revealed a total of 278 to 1464 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in the aromatic-containing conditions compared to the control XVM2m-glucose, evidencing the importance of these compounds in modulating various physiological processes of X. citri 306 beyond the pathways related to their metabolism. Moreover, this work revealed the operon molRKAB, which plays a role in the first catabolic steps of the three main monolignols (p-coumaryl, coniferyl and sinapyl alcohols), besides showing all the enzymatic steps funneling them up to the tricarboxylic acid cycle. Additionally, the study uncovered aryl aldehyde reductases and efflux strategies that likely function to protect the pathogen from aromatics toxicity. Together, these findings enhance the current understanding of Xanthomonas metabolism and transcriptional responses to lignin-related aromatic compounds, shedding light on the diverse metabolic pathways available to enable the engineering of microbial chassis dedicated to lignin valorization.

Project description:The study aimed to explore the potential of bacterial biodegradation as a solution to the global problem of plastic pollution, specifically targeting polyethylene (PE), one of the most common types of plastic. The goals of the study were to isolate a bacterial strain capable of breaking down PE, identify the key enzymes responsible for the degradation process, and understand the metabolic pathways involved.

Project description:The study aimed to explore the potential of bacterial biodegradation as a solution to the global problem of plastic pollution, specifically targeting polyethylene (PE), one of the most common types of plastic. The goals of the study were to isolate a bacterial strain capable of breaking down PE, identify the key enzymes responsible for the degradation process, and understand the metabolic pathways involved. By investigating these aspects, researchers sought to gain critical insights that could be used to optimize plastic degradation conditions and inform the development of artificial microbial communities for effective bioremediation strategies. This research has significant relevance, as it addresses the pressing need for innovative and sustainable approaches to tackle the ever-growing issue of plastic waste and its impact on the environment.

Project description:Biodegradable plastics are one possible solution for reducing plastic waste, yet the mechanisms and organisms involved in their degradation in the aquatic environment remain understudied. In this study, we have enriched a microbial community from North Sea water and sediment, capable of growing on the polyester poly(butylene succinate). This culture was grown on two other biodegradable polyesters, polycaprolactone and ecovio® FT (a PBAT-based blended biodegradable plastic), and the differences between community structure and activity on these three polymers were determined by metagenomics and metaproteomics. We have seen that the plastic supplied drives the community structure and activity. Setups growing on ecovio® FT were more diverse, yet showed the lowest degradation, while poly(butylene succinate) and polycaprolactone resulted in a less diverse community but much higher degradation efficiencies. The dominating species were Alcanivorax sp., Thalassobius sp., or Pseudomonas sp., depending on the polymer supplied. Furthermore, we have observed that Gammaproteobacteria were more abundant and active within the biofilm and Alphaproteobacteria within the free-living fraction of the enrichments. Two of the three PETase-like enzymes isolated were expressed as tandems (Ple -tan1 &Ple – tan2) and all three were produced by Pseudomonas sp. Of those, Ple-tan1 was most active on all three substrates and also the most thermostable. Overall, we could show that all three plastics investigated can be mineralized by bacteria naturally occurring within the marine environment and characterize some of the enzymes involved in the degradation process.
