Sulfide-dependent Photoautotrophy in the Filamentous Anoxygenic Phototrophic Bacterium, Chloroflexus aggregans.

Project description:Chloroflexus aggregans is a thermophilic filamentous anoxygenic phototrophic bacterium frequently found in microbial mats in natural hot springs. C. aggregans often thrives with cyanobacteria that engage in photosynthesis to provide it with an organic substrate; however, it sometimes appears as the dominant phototroph in microbial mats without cyanobacteria. This suggests that C. aggregans has the ability to grow photoautotrophically. However, photoautotrophic growth has not been observed in any cultured strains of C. aggregans. We herein attempted to isolate a photoautotrophic strain from C. aggregansdominated microbial mats in Nakabusa hot spring in Japan. Using an inorganic medium, we succeeded in isolating a new strain that we designated "ACA-12". A phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene and 16S-23S rRNA gene internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region sequences revealed that strain ACA-12 was closely related to known C. aggregans strains. Strain ACA-12 showed sulfide consumption along with autotrophic growth under anaerobic light conditions. The deposited elemental sulfur particles observed by microscopy indicated that sulfide oxidation occurred, similar to that in photoautotrophic strains in the related species, C. aurantiacus. Moreover, we found that other strains of C. aggregans, including the type strain, also exhibited a slight photoautotrophic growing ability, whereas strain ACA-12 showed the fastest growth rate. This is the first demonstration of photoautotrophic growth with sulfide in C. aggregans. The present results strongly indicate that C. aggregans is associated with inorganic carbon incorporation using sulfide as an electron donor in hot spring microbial mats.

A New Thermophilic Ene-Reductase from the Filamentous Anoxygenic Phototrophic Bacterium <i>Chloroflexus aggregans</i>.

Project description:Aiming at expanding the biocatalytic toolbox of ene-reductase enzymes, we decided to explore photosynthetic extremophile microorganisms as unique reservoir of (new) biocatalytic activities. We selected a new thermophilic ene-reductase homologue in Chloroflexus aggregans, a peculiar filamentous bacterium. We report here on the functional and structural characterization of this new enzyme, which we called CaOYE. Produced in high yields in recombinant form, it proved to be a robust biocatalyst showing high thermostability, good solvent tolerance and a wide range of pH optimum. In a preliminary screening, CaOYE displayed a restricted substrate spectrum (with generally lower activities compared to other ene-reductases); however, given the amazing metabolic ductility and versatility of Chloroflexus aggregans, further investigations could pinpoint peculiar chemical activities. X-ray crystal structure has been determined, revealing conserved features of Class III (or thermophilic-like group) of the family of Old Yellow Enzymes: in the crystal packing, the enzyme was found to assemble as dimer even if it behaves as a monomer in solution. The description of CaOYE catalytic properties and crystal structure provides new details useful for enlarging knowledge, development and application of this class of enzymes.

In-Situ Metatranscriptomic Analyses Reveal the Metabolic Flexibility of the Thermophilic Anoxygenic Photosynthetic Bacterium Chloroflexus aggregans in a Hot Spring Cyanobacteria-Dominated Microbial Mat.

Project description:Chloroflexus aggregans is a metabolically versatile, thermophilic, anoxygenic phototrophic member of the phylum Chloroflexota (formerly Chloroflexi), which can grow photoheterotrophically, photoautotrophically, chemoheterotrophically, and chemoautotrophically. In hot spring-associated microbial mats, C. aggregans co-exists with oxygenic cyanobacteria under dynamic micro-environmental conditions. To elucidate the predominant growth modes of C. aggregans, relative transcription levels of energy metabolism- and CO2 fixation-related genes were studied in Nakabusa Hot Springs microbial mats over a diel cycle and correlated with microscale in situ measurements of O2 and light. Metatranscriptomic analyses indicated two periods with different modes of energy metabolism of C. aggregans: (1) phototrophy around midday and (2) chemotrophy in the early morning hours. During midday, C. aggregans mainly employed photoheterotrophy when the microbial mats were hyperoxic (400-800 µmol L-1 O2). In the early morning hours, relative transcription peaks of genes encoding uptake hydrogenase, key enzymes for carbon fixation, respiratory complexes as well as enzymes for TCA cycle and acetate uptake suggest an aerobic chemomixotrophic lifestyle. This is the first in situ study of the versatile energy metabolism of C. aggregans based on gene transcription patterns. The results provide novel insights into the metabolic flexibility of these filamentous anoxygenic phototrophs that thrive under dynamic environmental conditions.
