Project description:Given sustainability and scalability concerns of using sugar feedstocks for microbial bioproduction of bulk chemicals, widening the feedstock range for microbial cell factories is of high interest. Methanol is a one-carbon alcohol that stands out as an alternative feedstock for the bioproduction of chemicals, as it is electron-rich, water-miscible and can be produced from several renewable resources. Bioconversion of methanol into products under thermophilic conditions (>50 °C) could be highly advantageous for industrial biotechnology. Although progress is being made with natural, thermophilic methylotrophic microorganisms, they are not yet optimal for bioproduction and establishing alternative thermophilic methylotrophic bioproduction platforms can widen possibilities. Hence, we set out to implement methanol assimilation in the emerging thermophilic model organism Parageobacillus thermoglucosidasius. We engineered P. thermoglucosidasius to be strictly dependent for its growth on methanol assimilation via the core of the highly efficient ribulose monophosphate (RuMP) cycle, while co-assimilating ribose. Surprisingly, this did not require heterologous expression of RuMP enzymes. Instead, by laboratory evolution we awakened latent, native enzyme activities to form the core of the RuMP cycle. We obtained fast methylotrophic growth in which ∼17 % of biomass was strictly obtained from methanol. This work lays the foundation for developing a versatile thermophilic bioproduction platform based on renewable methanol.

Project description:Parageobacillus thermoglucosidasius is a thermophilic bacterium characterized by rapid growth, low nutrient requirements, and amenability to genetic manipulation. These characteristics along with its ability to ferment a broad range of carbohydrates make P. thermoglucosidasius a potential workhorse in whole-cell biocatalysis. The phosphoenolpyruvate:carbohydrate phosphotransferase system (PTS) catalyzes the transport and phosphorylation of carbohydrates and sugar derivatives in bacteria, making it important for their physiological characterization. In this study, the role of PTS elements on the catabolism of PTS and non-PTS substrates was investigated for P. thermoglucosidasius DSM 2542. Knockout of the common enzyme I, part of all PTSs, showed that arbutin, cellobiose, fructose, glucose, glycerol, mannitol, mannose, N-acetylglucosamine, N-acetylmuramic acid, sorbitol, salicin, sucrose, and trehalose were PTS-dependent on translocation and coupled to phosphorylation. The role of each putative PTS was investigated and six PTS-deletion variants could not grow on arbutin, mannitol, N-acetylglucosamine, sorbitol, and trehalose as the main carbon source, or showed diminished growth on N-acetylmuramic acid. We concluded that PTS is a pivotal factor in the sugar metabolism of P. thermoglucosidasius and established six PTS variants important for the translocation of specific carbohydrates. This study lays the groundwork for engineering efforts with P. thermoglucosidasius towards efficient utilization of diverse carbon substrates for whole-cell biocatalysis.

Project description:BackgroundThe overreliance on dwindling fossil fuel reserves and the negative climatic effects of using such fuels are driving the development of new clean energy sources. One such alternative source is hydrogen (H2), which can be generated from renewable sources. Parageobacillus thermoglucosidasius is a facultative anaerobic thermophilic bacterium which is frequently isolated from high temperature environments including hot springs and compost.ResultsComparative genomics performed in the present study showed that P. thermoglucosidasius encodes two evolutionary distinct H2-uptake [Ni-Fe]-hydrogenases and one H2-evolving hydrogenases. In addition, genes encoding an anaerobic CO dehydrogenase (CODH) are co-localized with genes encoding a putative H2-evolving hydrogenase. The co-localized of CODH and uptake hydrogenase form an enzyme complex that might potentially be involved in catalyzing the water-gas shift reaction (CO + H2O → CO2 + H2) in P. thermoglucosidasius. Cultivation of P. thermoglucosidasius DSM 2542T with an initial gas atmosphere of 50% CO and 50% air showed it to be capable of growth at elevated CO concentrations (50%). Furthermore, GC analyses showed that it was capable of producing hydrogen at an equimolar conversion with a final yield of 1.08 H2/CO.ConclusionsThis study highlights the potential of the facultative anaerobic P. thermoglucosidasius DSM 2542T for developing new strategies for the biohydrogen production.

Project description:Parageobacillus thermoglucosidasius is a thermophilic bacterium of interest for lignocellulosic biomass fermentation. However, carbon catabolite repression (CCR) hinders co-utilization of pentoses and hexoses in the biomass substrate. Hence, to optimize the fermentation process, it is critical to remove CCR in the fermentation strains with minimal fitness cost. In this study, we investigated whether CCR could be removed from P. thermoglucosidasius DSM 2542 by mutating the Ser46 regulatory sites on HPr and Crh to a non-reactive alanine residue. It was found that neither the ptsH1 (HPr-S46A) nor the crh1 (Crh-S46A) mutation individually eliminated CCR in P. thermoglucosidasius DSM 2542. However, it was not possible to generate a ptsH1 crh1 double mutant. While the Crh-S46A mutation had no obvious fitness effect in DSM 2542, the ptsH1 mutation had a negative impact on cell growth and sugar utilization under fermentative conditions. Under these conditions, the ptsH1 mutation was associated with the production of a brown pigment, believed to arise from methylglyoxal production, which is harmful to cells. Subsequently, a less directed adaptive evolution approach was employed, in which DSM 2542 was grown in a mixture of 2-deoxy-D-glucose(2-DG) and xylose. This successfully removed CCR from P. thermoglucosidasius DSM 2542. Two selection strategies were applied to optimize the phenotypes of evolved strains. Genome sequencing identified key mutations affecting the PTS components PtsI and PtsG, the ribose operon repressor RbsR and adenine phosphoribosyltransferase APRT. Genetic complementation and bioinformatics analysis revealed that the presence of wild type rbsR and apt inhibited xylose uptake or utilization, while ptsI and ptsG might play a role in the regulation of CCR in P. thermoglucosidasius DSM 2542.

Project description:BackgroundThe facultatively anaerobic thermophile Parageobacillus thermoglucosidasius produces hydrogen gas (H2) by coupling CO oxidation to proton reduction in the water-gas shift (WGS) reaction via a carbon monoxide dehydrogenase-hydrogenase enzyme complex. Although little is known about the hydrogenogenic capacities of different strains of this species, these organisms offer a potentially viable process for the synthesis of this alternative energy source.ResultsThe WGS-catalyzed H2 production capacities of four distinct P. thermoglucosidasius strains were determined by cultivation and gas analysis. Three strains (DSM 2542T, DSM 2543 and DSM 6285) were hydrogenogenic, while the fourth strain (DSM 21625) was not. Furthermore, in one strain (DSM 6285) H2 production commenced earlier in the cultivation than the other hydrogenogenic strains. Comparative genomic analysis of the four strains identified extensive differences in the protein complement encoded on the genomes, some of which are postulated to contribute to the different hydrogenogenic capacities of the strains. Furthermore, polymorphisms and deletions in the CODH-NiFe hydrogenase loci may also contribute towards this variable phenotype.ConclusionsDisparities in the hydrogenogenic capacities of different P. thermoglucosidasius strains were identified, which may be correlated to variability in their global proteomes and genetic differences in their CODH-NiFe hydrogenase loci. The data from this study may contribute towards an improved understanding of WGS-catalysed hydrogenogenesis by P. thermoglucosidasius.
