Project description:Geobacter sulfurreducens is a widely explored microorganism recognized by its metabolic versatility able to reduce a number of external electron acceptors. In the present study the capacity of this strain to reduce nitrate was evaluated along with its transcriptomic profile under nitrate-reducing conditions and the catalytic role of Pd nanoparticles on the reductive pathway. Results demonstrated that G. sulfurreducens was able to reduce nitrate and important kinetic differences related to the time response were found among the electron donors used (acetate and hydrogen). When using acetate, a delay response on nitrate reduction of 4 days and reduction of 94% of nitrate was achieved, while nitrite was not detected, and all the nitrogen was recovered as ammonium (79.6 ± 5.7 %). The use of hydrogen as electron donor increased 2-fold the maximum rate of nitrate reduction, leading to 93% reduction of nitrate during the first 20 h with recovery of 45% as ammonium, while nitrite was not detected. In addition, transcriptome profiling analysis of G. sulfurreducens under nitrate-reducing conditions using hydrogen or acetate as an electron donor at 2 and 6 days reveals that a core of 146 genes (69 upregulated and 77 downregulated) are differentially expressed in all conditions. Genes related to nitrogen metabolism, such as nrfA and nrfH, gdhA, and amtB, were upregulated in the incubations and RT-qPCR data confirmed upregulations of these genes. Experiments performed with biologically synthesized Pd (Bio-Pd) + G. sulfurreducens cells demonstrated synergistic input of Bio-Pd and the metabolic capacity of G. sulfurreducens. These results expand the metabolic versatility of G. sulfurreducens, which may have important implications in nitrogen cycling in natural environments and engineered systems.

Project description:The conductive pili of Geobacter sulfurreducens are essential for optimal extracellular electron transfer to Fe(III) and long-range electron transport through current-producing biofilms. The KN400 strain of G. sulfurreducens reduces poorly crystalline Fe(III) oxide more rapidly than the more extensively studied DL-1 strain. Deletion of the gene for PilA, the structural pilin protein, in strain KN400 inhibited Fe(III) oxide reduction. However, slow rates of Fe(III) reduction were detected after extended (> 30 days) incubation in the presence of Fe(III) oxide. After seven consecutive transfers the PilA-deficient strain adapted to reduce Fe(III) oxide as fast as the wild type. Microarray, proteomic, and gene deletion studies indicated that this adaptation was associated with greater production of the c-type cytochrome PgcA, which was released into the culture medium. It is proposed that the extracellular cytochrome acts as an electron shuttle, promoting electron transfer from the outer cell surface to Fe(III) oxides. The adapted PilA-deficient strain competed well with the wild-type strain when both were grown together on Fe(III) oxide. However, when 50% of the culture medium was replaced with fresh medium every three days, the wild-type strain out-competed the adapted strain. A possible explanation for this is that the necessity to produce additional PgcA, to replace the PgcA continually removed, put the adapted strain at a competitive disadvantage, similar to the apparent selection against electron-shuttling producing Fe(III) reducers in most soils and sediments. Despite increased extracellular cytochrome production, the adapted PilA-deficient strain produced low levels of current; consistent with the concept that long-range electron transport through G. sulfurreducens biofilms cannot be achieved without PilA-pili. An eight-chip study using total RNA recovered from four separate cultures of Geobacter sulfurreducens JS-1 (experimental condition) or Geobacter sulfurreducens KN400 (control condition) grown with acetate (10mM)-Fe(III) oxide (100 mmol l-1) exponential growth. Each chip measures the expression level of 3,328 genes from Geobacter sulfurreducens KN400 with nine 45-60-mer probe pairs (PM/MM) per gene, with three-fold technical redundancy.

Project description:Propionate accumulation is an important bottleneck for anaerobic degradation of organic matter. We hypothesized that propionate conversion by a novel coculture of Syntrophobacter fumaroxidans and Geobacter sulfurreducens can be an alternative strategy for propionate oxidation coupled to Fe(III) reduction. In this study, we successfully cocultured S. fumaroxidans and G. sulfurreducens on propionate and Fe(III). Proteomic analyses of this coculture provided insights into the underlying mechanisms of propionate metabolism pathway and interspecies electron transfer mechanism. Our study can be further useful in understanding syntrophic propionate degradation in bioelectrochemical and anaerobic digestion systems.

Project description:Geobacter sulfurreducens PCA was put under selective pressure for rapid Fe(III) oxide reduction. The resultant strain, V1, contained five confirmed mutations and reduced Fe(III) oxide 17 times faster. Whole genome DNA microarray analysis was performed in order to determine which genes are up- or down-regulated in V1 compared to PCA, both grown with ferric citrate as an electron acceptor.
