Project description:The rate, timing, and mode of species dispersal is recognized as a key driver of the structure and function of communities of macroorganisms, and may be one ecological process that determines the diversity of microbiomes. Many previous studies have quantified the modes and mechanisms of bacterial motility using monocultures of a few model bacterial species. But most microbes live in multispecies microbial communities, where direct interactions between microbes may inhibit or facilitate dispersal through a number of physical (e.g., hydrodynamic) and biological (e.g., chemotaxis) mechanisms, which remain largely unexplored. Using cheese rinds as a model microbiome, we demonstrate that physical networks created by filamentous fungi can impact the extent of small-scale bacterial dispersal and can shape the composition of microbiomes. From the cheese rind of Saint Nectaire, we serendipitously observed the bacterium Serratia proteamaculans actively spreads on networks formed by the fungus Mucor. By experimentally recreating these pairwise interactions in the lab, we show that Serratia spreads on actively growing and previously established fungal networks. The extent of symbiotic dispersal is dependent on the fungal network: diffuse and fast-growing Mucor networks provide the greatest dispersal facilitation of the Serratia species, while dense and slow-growing Penicillium networks provide limited dispersal facilitation. Fungal-mediated dispersal occurs in closely related Serratia species isolated from other environments, suggesting that this bacterial-fungal interaction is widespread in nature. Both RNA-seq and transposon mutagenesis point to specific molecular mechanisms that play key roles in this bacterial-fungal interaction, including chitin utilization and flagellin biosynthesis. By manipulating the presence and type of fungal networks in multispecies communities, we provide the first evidence that fungal networks shape the composition of bacterial communities, with Mucor networks shifting experimental bacterial communities to complete dominance by motile Proteobacteria. Collectively, our work demonstrates that these strong biophysical interactions between bacterial and fungi can have community-level consequences and may be operating in many other microbiomes.

Project description:We have designed and experimentally validated the BactoChip, a 60-mer oligonucleotide microarray for simultaneous detection and quantification of multiple bacterial species of clinical interest. The Bactochip microarray targets a novel set of high-resolution marker genes, those genes that most unequivocally characterized each bacterial species. The accuracy of the BactoChip microarray was evaluated using the labeled total DNA of single bacterial species at different concentrations (from 65ng to more than 250ng). The specificity of the developed array was further validated using mixed cultures containing up to 15 different bacterial species in even or staggered amount. We employed the Agilent 'Custom HD-CGH 8x15k Array" (catalogue number: G4427A) and the Agilent'Genomic DNA ULS labeling Kit" (catalogue number: 5190-0419). The microarray successfully distinguished among bacterial species from 21 different genera. The BactoChip additionally proved accurate in determining species-level relative abundances over a 10-fold dynamic range in complex bacterial communities. In combination with the continually increasing number of sequenced bacterial genomes, future iterations of the technology could enable to highly accurate clinically-oriented tools for rapid assessment of bacterial community composition and relative abundances.

Project description:The intestinal microbiota plays a crucial role in protecting the host from pathogenic microbes, in modulating immunity and in regulating metabolic processes. We use the simplified human intestinal microbiota (SIHUMIx) consisting of eight bacterial species to study potential synergistic effects with a particular focus on detecting novel proteins with less than 100 amino acids (= sProteins), some of which may contribute to regulate the simplified human intestinal microbiota. Although several studies have shown that sProteins carry out a wide range of important functions, they are still often missed in genome annotations, and little is known about their structure and function in individual microbes and especially in microbial communities. In this study, we created a multi-species integrated proteogenomics search database (multi-species iPtgxDB) to enable a comprehensive identification of novel sProteins. Six of the eight SIHUMIx species, for which no complete genomes were available, were first sequenced and de novo assembled. Several proteomics approaches including two earlier optimized sProtein enrichment strategies were applied prior to mass spectrometric analysis to specifically increase the chances for novel sProtein discovery. Searching the MS/MS data against the multi-species iPtgxDB enabled us to identify 31 novel sProteins, of which the expression of 30 was supported by metatranscriptomics data. Using synthetic peptides, we were able to validate the expression of 25 novel sProteins. Importantly, when comparing the expression of these novel sProteins in single strain cultivations to the multi-species community grown in a bioreactor, we found that six of them were only identified in the SIHUMIx community, indicating a possible important role of sProteins in the organization of microbial communities. Furthermore, in silico prediction suggested that two of these novel sProteins have a potential antimicrobial function. We outline an integrated experimental and bioinformatics workflow for the discovery of novel sProteins in microbial communities that can be generically applied to other microbial communities. The further analysis of novel sProteins uniquely expressed in the multi-species community is expected to enable new insights into the structure, regulation and function of bacterial communities such as those of the human intestinal tract.

Project description:The melting of permafrost and its potential impact on greenhouse gas emissions is a major concern in the context of global warming. The fate of the carbon trapped in permafrost will largely depend on soil physico-chemical characteristics, among which are the quality and quantity of organic matter, pH and water content, and on microbial community composition. In this study, we used microarrays and real-time PCR (qPCR) targeting 16S rRNA genes to characterize the bacterial communities in three different soil types representative of various Arctic settings. The microbiological data were linked to soil physico-chemical characteristics and CO2 production rates. Microarray results indicated that soil characteristics, and especially the soil pH, were important parameters in structuring the bacterial communities at the genera/species levels. Shifts in community structure were also visible at the phyla/class levels, with the soil CO2 production rate being positively correlated to the relative abundance of the Alphaproteobacteria, Bacteroidetes, and Betaproteobacteria. These results indicate that CO2 production in Arctic soils does not only depend on the environmental conditions, but also on the presence of specific groups of bacteria that have the capacity to actively degrade soil carbon. Three different soil types from the Canadian high Arctic were sampled at two depths within the active layer of soil and at two sampling dates (winter and summer conditions), for a total of 20 samples.

Project description:Despite the global importance of forests, it is virtually unknown how their soil microbial communities adapt at the phylogenetic and functional level to long term metal pollution. Studying twelve sites located along two distinct gradients of metal pollution in Southern Poland revealed that both community composition (via MiSeq Illumina sequencing of 16S rRNA genes) and functional gene potential (using GeoChip 4.2) were highly similar across the gradients despite drastically diverging metal contamination levels. Metal pollution level significantly impacted microbial community structure (p = 0.037), but not bacterial taxon richness. Metal pollution altered the relative abundance of specific bacterial taxa, including Acidobacteria, Actinobacteria, Bacteroidetes, Chloroflexi, Firmicutes, Planctomycetes and Proteobacteria. Also, a group of metal resistance genes showed significant correlations with metal concentrations in soil, although no clear impact of metal pollution levels on overall functional diversity and structure of microbial communities was observed. While screens of phylogenetic marker genes, such as 16S rRNA, provided only limited insight into resilience mechanisms, analysis of specific functional genes, e.g. involved in metal resistance, appeared to be a more promising strategy. This study showed that the effect of metal pollution on soil microbial communities was not straightforward, but could be filtered out from natural variation and habitat factors by multivariate statistical analysis and spatial sampling involving separate pollution gradients.
