Project description:The global significance of marine non-cyanobacterial diazotrophs, notably heterotrophic bacterial diazotrophs (HBDs), has become increasingly clear. Understanding N2 fixation rates for these largely uncultured organisms poses a challenge due to uncertain growth requirements and complex nitrogenase regulation. We identified Candidatus Thalassolituus haligoni as an Oceanospirillales member, closely related to other significant γ-proteobacterial HBDs. Pangenome analysis reinforces this classification, indicating the isolate belongs to the same species as the uncultured metagenome-assembled genome Arc-Gamma-03. Analysis of the nifH gene in amplicon sequencing libraries reveals the extensive distribution of Cand. T. haligoni across the Pacific, Atlantic and Arctic Oceans. Through combined proteomic analysis and N2 fixation rate measurements, we confirmed the isolate’s capacity for nitrate independent N2 fixation, although a clear understanding of nitrogenase regulation remains unclear. Overall, our study highlights the significance of Cand. T. haligoni as the first globally distributed, cultured model species within the understudied group of Oceanospirillales, and γ-HBDs in general.

Project description:Free-living N2 fixation in Panzhihua tailing reservoir
| PRJNA1057738 | ENA
Project description:Although N2 fixation can occur in free-living cyanobacteria, the unicellular endosymbiotic cyanobacterium Candidatus Atelocyanobacterium thalassa (UCYN-A) is considered to be a dominant N2-fixing species in marine ecosystems. Four UCYN-A sublineages are known from partial nitrogenase (nifH) gene sequences. However, few studies have investigated their habitat preferences and regulation by their respective hosts in open-ocean versus coastal environments. Here, we compared UCYN-A transcriptomes from oligotrophic open-ocean versus nutrient-rich coastal waters. UCYN-A1 metabolism was more impacted by habitat changes than UCYN-A2. However, across habitats and sublineages genes for nitrogen fixation and energy production were highly transcribed. Curiously these genes, critical to the symbiosis for the exchange of fixed nitrogen for fixed carbon, maintained the same schedule of diel expression across habitats and UCYN-A sublineages, including UCYN-A3 in the open-ocean transcriptomes. Our results undersore the importance of nitrogen fixation in UCYN-A symbioses across habitats, with consequences for community interaction and global biogeochemical cycles.

Project description:Biological nitrogen fixation (BNF) is an essential source of new nitrogen for terrestrial ecosystems. The abiotic factors regulating BNF have been extensively studied in various ecosystems and laboratory settings. Despite this, our understanding of the impact of neighbouring bacteria on N2 fixer activity remains limited. Here, we explored this question using a coculture of the free-living diazotroph Azotobacter vinelandii and the non-fixing plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria Bacillus subtilis. We assessed the interaction between the two bacteria under low N availability.

Project description:For the filamentous cyanobacterium Anabaena variabilis to grow without combined nitrogen, certain cells differentiate into heterocysts that fix N2, while vegetative cells perform photosynthesis. Much remains unknown on how heterocysts differ from vegetative cells in terms of carbon and energy metabolisms. Microarrays were used to investigate gene transcription patterns in vegetative cells, heterocysts, and filaments of N2-fixing phototrophic, mixotrophic, and heterotrophic cultures.

Project description:We designed a new specific mRNA microarray targeting a subset of genes (956) of the diazotrophs Richelia intracellularis and Calothrix rhizosoleniae (genomes RintRC01, RintHH01, RintHM01 and CalSC01) which associate with diatom hosts. The aim was to be able to describe the gene expressions of genes related to several metabolic pathways, specifically nitrogen fixation and how they possibly differed between the closely related strains based on environment and host association. In this study we focused on the RintRC01 and RintHH01. To better understand how the gene expression of nitrogen fixation genes relates to nitrogen fixation rates both gene expression and rate measurements were done in parallell.

Project description:Biological nitrogen fixation, the microbial reduction of atmospheric nitrogen to bioavailable ammonia, represents both a major limitation on biological productivity and a highly desirable engineering target for synthetic biology. However, the engineering of nitrogen fixation requires an integrated understanding of how the gene regulatory dynamics of host diazotrophs respond across sequence-function space of its central catalytic metalloenzyme, nitrogenase. Here, we interrogate this relationship by analyzing the transcriptome of Azotobacter vinelandii engineered with a phylogenetically inferred ancestral nitrogenase protein variant. The engineered strain exhibits reduced cellular nitrogenase activity but recovers wild-type growth rates following an extended lag period. We find that expression of genes within the immediate nitrogen fixation network is resilient to the introduced nitrogenase sequence-level perturbations. Rather the sustained physiological compatibility with the ancestral nitrogenase variant is accompanied by reduced expression of genes that support trace metal and electron resource allocation to nitrogenase. Our results spotlight gene expression changes in cellular processes adjacent to nitrogen fixation as productive engineering considerations to improve compatibility between remodeled nitrogenase proteins and engineered host diazotrophs. IMPORTANCE Azotobacter vinelandii is a key model bacterium for the study of biological nitrogen fixation, an important metabolic process catalyzed by nitrogenase enzymes. Here, we demonstrate that compatibilities between engineered A. vinelandii strains and nitrogenase variants can be modulated at the regulatory level. The engineered strain studied here responds by adjusting the expression of proteins involved in cellular processes adjacent to nitrogen fixation, rather than that of nitrogenase proteins themselves. These insights can inform future strategies to transfer nitrogenase variants to non-native hosts.
