Project description:Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are bio-based, biodegradable polyesters that can be produced from organic-rich waste streams using mixed microbial cultures. To maximize PHA production, mixed microbial cultures may be enriched for PHA-producing bacteria with a high storage capacity through the imposition of cyclic, aerobic feast-famine conditions in a sequencing batch reactor (SBR). Though enrichment SBRs have been extensively investigated a bulk solutions-level, little evidence at the proteome level is available to describe the observed SBR behavior to guide future SBR optimization strategies. As such, the purpose of this investigation was to characterize proteome dynamics of a mixed microbial culture in an SBR operated under aerobic feast-famine conditions using fermented dairy manure as the feedstock for PHA production. At the beginning of the SBR cycle, excess PHA precursors were provided to the mixed microbial culture (i.e., feast), after which followed a long duration devoid of exogenous substrate (i.e., famine). Two-dimensional electrophoresis was used to separate protein mixtures during a complete SBR cycle, and proteins of interest were identified.

Project description:Background: The soil environment is responsible for sustaining most terrestrial plant life on earth, yet we know surprisingly little about the important functions carried out by diverse microbial communities in soil. Soil microbes that inhabit the channels of decaying root systems, the detritusphere, are likely to be essential for plant growth and health, as these channels are the preferred locations of new root growth. Understanding the microbial metagenome of the detritusphere and how it responds to agricultural management such as crop rotations and soil tillage will be vital for improving global food production. Methods: The rhizosphere soils of wheat and chickpea growing under + and - decaying root were collected for metagenomics sequencing. A gene catalogue was established by de novo assembling metagenomic sequencing. Genes abundance was compared between bulk soil and rhizosphere soils under different treatments. Conclusions: The study describes the diversity and functional capacity of a high-quality soil microbial metagenome. The results demonstrate the contribution of the microbiome from decaying root in determining the metagenome of developing root systems, which is fundamental to plant growth, since roots preferentially inhabit previous root channels. Modifications in root microbial function through soil management, can ultimately govern plant health, productivity and food security.

Project description:Metagenome sequencing enables discovery and genetic characterization of complex microbial communities from diverse ecosystems. However, determining the activity of isolates within a community using transcriptomics presents several challenges including the wide dynamic range of organismal and gene expression abundances, the presence of host RNA, and low microbial biomass at many body sites. To address these limitations, we developed “Targeted Expression Analysis Sequencing” or TEAL-seq. Targeting strategies enabled sensitive species-specific analyses of gene expression using highly multiplexed custom probe pools targeting about 1700 core and accessory genes of Staphylococcus aureus (S.a.) and S. epidermidis (S.e.), two key species of the skin microbiome. Two targeting methods were applied to mixed cultures and nasal swab specimens from human research participants. Both methods showed a high degree of specificity, with >90% reads on target, even in the presence of complex microbial or human background DNA/RNA. Targeting using molecular inversion probes demonstrated excellent correlation in inferred expression levels with bulk RNA-seq. Further, we show that a linear pre-amplification step to increase the amount of input nucleic acids for analysis was quite reproducible . While pre-amplification introduced some noise compared to non-amplified samples, it also enabled profiling of expression from as little as 1 ng of total RNA. TEAL-seq is much less expensive than bulk metatranscriptomic profiling and enables detection across a greater dynamic range. Custom probe pools are readily configurable and this strategy is broadly applicable for determining the transcriptional status of organisms in any microbial community.
