Project description:Plants cope with low phosphorus availability by adjusting growth and metabolism through transcriptomic adaptations. We hypothesize that selected genotypes with distinct P use efficiency covering the breeding history of European heterotic pool allow us to reveal general and genotype-specific molecular responses correlated with low phosphate induced traits.

Alternative lipid synthesis in response to phosphate limitation promotes antibiotic tolerance in Gram-negative ESKAPE pathogens

Project description:Acinetobacter baumannii is an ESKAPE pathogen that rapidly develops resistance to antibiotics and persists for extended periods in the host or on abiotic surfaces. Survival in environmental stress such as phosphate scarcity, represents a clinically significant challenge for nosocomial pathogens. In the face of phosphate starvation, certain bacteria encode adaptive strategies, including the substitution of glycerophospholipids with phosphorus-free lipids. In bacteria, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, and cardiolipin are conserved glycerophospholipids that can form lipid bilayers, particularly in the presence of other lipids. Here, we demonstrate that in response to phosphate limitation, conserved regulatory mechanisms induce alternative lipid production in A. baumannii. Specifically, phosphate limitation induces formation of three lipids, including amine-containing ornithine and lysine aminolipids. Mutations that inactivate aminolipid biosynthesis exhibit fitness defects relative to wild type in colistin growth and killing assays. Furthermore, we show that other Gram-negative ESKAPE pathogens accumulate aminolipids under phosphate limiting growth conditions, suggesting aminolipid biosynthesis may represent a broad strategy to overcome cationic antimicrobial peptide-mediated killing.

Systems analysis of phosphate-limitation induced lipid accumulation by the oleaginous yeast Rhodosporidium toruloides

Project description:Lipid accumulation by oleaginous microorganisms is of great scientific interest and biotechnological potential. While nitrogen limitation has been routinely employed, low-cost raw materials usually contain rich nitrogenous components, thus preventing from efficient lipid production. Inorganic phosphate (Pi) limitation has been found sufficient to promote conversion of sugars into lipids, yet the molecular basis of cellular response to Pi-limitation and concurrent lipid accumulation remains elusive. Here we performed multi-omic analyses of the oleaginous yeast Rhodosporidium toruloides to shield lights on Pi-limitation induced lipid accumulation. Samples were prepared under Pi-limited as well as Pi-replete chemostat conditions, and subjected to analysis at the transcriptomic, proteomic and metabolomic level. In total, 7970 genes, 4212 proteins and 123 metabolites were identified. Results showed that Pi-limitation facilitates up-regulation of Pi-associated metabolism, RNA degradation and triacylglycerol biosynthesis, while down-regulation of ribosome biosynthesis and tricarboxylic acid cycle. Pi-limitation leads to de-phosphorylation of adenosine monophosphate, the allosteric activator of isocitrate dehydrogenase key to lipid biosynthesis. It was found that NADPH, the key cofactor for fatty acid biosynthesis, is limited due to reduced flux through the pentose phosphate pathway and transhydrogenation cycle, and that this can be overcomed by overexpression of an endogenous malic enzyme. These phenomena are found distinctive from those under nitrogen-limitation. The information greatly enriches our understanding on microbial oleaginicity and Pi-related metabolism. Importantly, systems data may facilitate designing advanced cell factories for production of lipids and related oleochemicals.

Time series expression data during phosphate limitation for E. coli K12 JP6015/pMU91

Project description:A fermentation strategies with phosphate feeding was applied to elongate transition inti phosphate limitation for an tryptophan overproducing E. coli strain High frequency sampling together with the applied fermentation strategy should provide high resolution insights into regulatory regimes involved in phosphate response The first sampling timepoint was set as a reference time point after 2,5 h fermentation time to cover phosphate excess conditions. Additional 9 sampling time points were selected based on process dynamics as soon as the phosphate concentrations became sensitive

Global gene expression of Ruegeria pomeroyi strain DSS3 in response to glucose, ammonium, phosphate, or sulfate limitation

Project description:We used the previously designed oligonucleotide-based microarray (Burgmann et al. Environmental Microbiology 2007, 9: 2742-2755) to detect the transcripts of R. pomeroyi DSS-3 genes when the cells were cultured under steady-state carbon (glucose), nitrogen (ammonium), phosphorus (phosphate), or sulfur (sulfate) limitation. A total of 14 mRNA samples were hybridized to the arrays (three biological replicates from glucose, ammonium, phosphate, or sulfate limitation and one technical replicate each for ammonium or sulfate limitation)

The cytoplasmic phosphate level has a central regulatory role in the phosphate starvation response of Caulobacter crescentus

Project description:In bacteria, the availability of environmental inorganic phosphate is typically sensed by the conserved PhoRB two-component signaling pathway, which uses the flux through the Pst phosphate transporter as a readout of the extracellular phosphate level to control a variety of phosphate-responsive genes. While the sensing of environmental phosphate is well-established, the regulatory effects of cytoplasmic phosphate are still unclear. Here, we disentangle the physiological and transcriptional responses of Caulobacter crescentus to changes in the environmental and cytoplasmic phosphate levels. To this end, we are uncoupling phosphate uptake from the activity of the Pst system by producing an additional, heterologous phosphate transporter. This approach reveals a bi-pronged response of C.crescentus to phosphate limitation, in which the PhoRB signaling mostly facilitates the utilization of alternative phosphate sources, whereas the cytoplasmic phosphate level controls the morphological and physiological adaptation of cells to growth in conditions of global phosphate limitation. These findings open the door to a more comprehensive understanding of phosphate signaling in bacteria.
