Project description:The aim of this study is to obtain a systems level understanding of the interactions between Dehalococcoides and corrinoid-supplying microorganisms by analyzing community structures and functional compositions, activities and dynamics in trichloroethene (TCE)-dechlorinating enrichments. Metagenomes and metatranscriptomes of the dechlorinating enrichments with and without exogenous cobalamin were compared. Seven draft genomes were binned from the metagenomes. At an early stage (2 d), more transcripts of genes in the Veillonellaceae bin-genome were detected in the metatranscriptome of the enrichment with exogenous cobalamin compared to the one without cobalamin addition. Among these genes, sporulation-related genes exhibited the highest differential expression when cobalamin was not added, suggesting a possible release route of corrinoids from corrinoid-producers. Other differentially expressed genes include those involved in energy conservation and nutrient transport (including cobalt transport). The most highly expressed corrinoid de novo biosynthesis pathway was also assigned to the Veillonellaceae bin-genome. Targeted qPCR analyses confirmed higher transcript abundances of those corrinoid biosynthesis genes in the enrichment without exogenous cobalamin. Furthermore, Dehalococcoides' corrinoid salvaging and modification pathway was upregulated in response to the cobalamin stress. This study provides important insights into the microbial interactions and roles of members of dechlorinating communities under cobalamin-limited conditions.

Project description:We established simple synthetic microbial communities in a microcosm model system to determine the mechanisms that underlay cross-feeding in microbial methane-consuming communities. Co-occurring strains from Lake Washington sediment were used that are involved in methane consumption, a methanotroph and two non-methanotrophic methylotrophs.

Project description:The increased urban pressures are often associated with specialization of microbial communities. Microbial communities being a critical player in the geochemical processes, makes it important to identify key environmental parameters that influence the community structure and its function.In this proect we study the influence of land use type and environmental parameters on the structure and function of microbial communities. The present study was conducted in an urban catchment, where the metal and pollutants levels are under allowable limits. The overall goal of this study is to understand the role of engineered physicochemical environment on the structure and function of microbial communities in urban storm-water canals. Microbial community structure was determined using PhyoChio (G3) Water and sediment samples were collected after a rain event from Sungei Ulu Pandan watershed of >25km2, which has two major land use types: Residential and industrial. Samples were analyzed for physicochemical variables and microbial community structure and composition. Microbial community structure was determined using PhyoChio (G3)

Project description:Functional redundancy in bacterial communities is expected to allow microbial assemblages to survive perturbation by allowing continuity in function despite compositional changes in communities. Recent evidence suggests, however, that microbial communities change both composition and function as a result of disturbance. We present evidence for a third response: resistance. We examined microbial community response to perturbation caused by nutrient enrichment in salt marsh sediments using deep pyrosequencing of 16S rRNA and functional gene microarrays targeting the nirS gene. Composition of the microbial community, as demonstrated by both genes, was unaffected by significant variations in external nutrient supply, despite demonstrable and diverse nutrient–induced changes in many aspects of marsh ecology. The lack of response to external forcing demonstrates a remarkable uncoupling between microbial composition and ecosystem-level biogeochemical processes and suggests that sediment microbial communities are able to resist some forms of perturbation.

Project description:Reductive dehalogenation mediated by organohalide-respiring bacteria plays a critical role in the global cycling of organohalides. Nonetheless, information on the dehalogenation enantioselectivity of organohalide-respiring bacteria remains limited. In this study, we report the enantioselective dechlorination of chiral polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) by Dehalococcoides mccartyi CG1. CG1 preferentially removed halogens from the (-)-enantiomers of the three major environmentally relevant chiral PCBs (PCB174, PCB149, and PCB132), and the enantiomer compositions of the dechlorination products depended on their parent organohalides. The in vitro assays with crude cell extracts or concentrated whole cells and the in vivo experiments with living cells showed similar enantioselectivities, in contrast with the distinct enantiomeric enrichment factors (?ER) of the substrate chiral PCBs. Additionally, these results suggest that concentrated whole cells might be an alternative to crude cell extracts in in vitro tests of reductive dehalogenation activities. The enantioselective dechlorination of other chiral PCBs that we resolved via gas chromatography further confirmed the preference of CG1 for the (-)-enantiomers.IMPORTANCE A variety of agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals are chiral. Due to the enantioselectivity in biological processes, enantiomers of chiral compounds may have different environmental occurrences, fates, and ecotoxicologies. Many chiral organohalides exist in anaerobic or anoxic soils and sediments, and organohalide-respiring bacteria play a major role in the environmental attenuation and global cycling of these chiral organohalides. Therefore, it is important to investigate the dehalogenation enantioselectivity of organohalide-respiring bacteria. This study reports the discovery of enantioselective dechlorination of chiral PCBs by Dehalococcoides mccartyi CG1, which provides insights into the dehalogenation enantioselectivity of Dehalococcoides and may shed light on future PCB bioremediation efforts to prevent enantioselective biological side effects.
