Project description:ILS1 mutated Candida albicans was unable to grow as yeast-phase cells but was capable of producing a tridimensional biofilm structure in spite of reduced metabolic activity. This biofilm still relied on the classical biofilm genes, while it differentially induced groups of genes involved in adhesion, protein synthesis, cell wall organization, and protein folding. Although the conditional mutant repressed genes annotated for morphology and homeostasis processes affecting morphology and metabolism, the dynamic cell growth enabled the construction of a complex biofilm community independent of ILS1.

Project description:Biofilms undergo a life cycle where cells attach to a surface, grow and produce a structured community before dispersing to seed biofilms in new environments. Progression through this life cycle requires controlled temporal gene expression to maximise fitness at each stage. Previous studies have focused on the essential genome for the formation of a mature biofilm, but here we present an insight into the genes involved at different stages of biofilm formation. We used TraDIS-Xpress (a massively parallel transposon mutagenesis using transposon-located promoters to assay expression of all genes in the genome) to determine how gene essentiality and expression affects the fitness of E. coli growing as a biofilm on glass beads after 12, 24 and 48 hours. An E. coli transposon mutant library of approximately 800,000 unique mutants was grown on glass beads, and a planktonic sample was taken alongside this at each time point to compare gene essentiality and expression at each time point.

Project description:The cyclic AMP-protein kinase A pathway has a central role in the biology of Candida albicans, a prominent fungal pathogen of humans. The two catalytic subunits for cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase, Tpk1 (orf19.4892) and Tpk2 (orf19.2277), have divergent roles, and most studies indicate a more pronounced role for Tpk2. Here we dissect two Tpk1-responsive properties: adherence and cell wall integrity. Homozygous tpk1/tpk1 mutants are hyperadherent, and a Tpk1 defect enables biofilm formation in the absence of Bcr1, a central transcriptional regulator of biofilm adhesins. Microarray analysis revealed an enrichment for cell wall and surface functions among Tpk1-repressed genes, and overexpression of individual target genes indicates that cell surface proteins Als1, Als2, Als4, Csh1, and Csp37 contribute to Tpk1-regulated adherence. Tpk1 is also required for cell wall integrity, but has no role in the cell wall integrity gene expression response. Interestingly, increased expression of the adhesin gene ALS2 conferred a cell wall defect, as manifested in hypersensitivity to the cell wall inhibitor caspofungin and a shallow cell wall structure. Our findings indicate that Tpk1 has a central role in C. albicans cell wall properties that is exerted through repression of select cell surface protein genes.

Project description:Anode-associated multi-species exoelectrogenic biofilms are essential to the function of bioelectrochemical systems (BESs). The investigation of electrode-associated biofilms is critical to advance understanding of the function of individual members within communities that thrive using an electrode as the terminal electron acceptor. This study focusses on the analysis of a model biofilm community consisting of Shewanella oneidensis, Geobacter sulfurreducens and Geobacter metallireducens. The conducted experiments revealed that the organisms can build a stable biofilm on an electrode surface that is rather resilient to changes in the redox potential of the anode surface. The community operated at maximum electron transfer rates with electrode potentials of 0.04 V versus normal hydrogen electrode. Current densities decreased gradually with lower potentials and reached half-maximal values at -0.08 V. A positive interaction of the individual strains could be observed in our experiments. At least S. oneidensis and G. sulfurreducens show an upregulation of their central metabolism as a response to cultivation under mixed-species conditions. Interestingly, G. sulfurreducens was detected in the planktonic phase of the bioelectrochemical reactors only in mixed-culture experiments but not when it was grown in the absence of the other two organisms. It is possible that G. sulfurreducens cells used flavins which were released by S. oneidensis cells as electron shuttles. This would allow the organism to broaden its environmental niche. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study describing the dynamics of biofilm formation of a model exoelectrogenic community, the resilience of the biofilm, and the molecular responses towards mixed-species conditions.
