Project description:Though most microorganisms live within a community, we have modest knowledge about microbial interactions and their implications for community properties and ecosystem functions. To advance understanding of microbial interactions, we describe a straightforward synthetic community system that can be used to interrogate exometabolite interactions among microorganisms. The filter plate system (also known as the Transwell system) physically separates microbial populations, but allows for chemical interactions via a shared medium reservoir. Exometabolites, including small molecules, extracellular enzymes, and antibiotics, are assayed from the reservoir using sensitive mass spectrometry. Community member outcomes, such as growth, productivity, and gene regulation, can be determined using flow cytometry, biomass measurements, and transcript analyses, respectively. The synthetic community design allows for determination of the consequences of microbiome diversity for emergent community properties and for functional changes over time or after perturbation. Because it is versatile, scalable, and accessible, this synthetic community system has the potential to practically advance knowledge of microbial interactions that occur within both natural and artificial communities.

Project description:To understand microbial community functional structures of activated sludge in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) and the effects of environmental factors on their structure, 12 activated sludge samples were collected from four WWTPs in Beijing. GeoChip 4.2 was used to determine the microbial functional genes involved in a variety of biogeochemical processes. The results showed that, for each gene category, such as egl, amyA, nir, ppx, dsrA sox and benAB, there were a number of microorganisms shared by all 12 samples, suggestive of the presence of a core microbial community in the activated sludge of four WWTPs. Variance partitioning analyses (VPA) showed that a total of 53% of microbial community variation can be explained by wastewater characteristics (25%) and operational parameters (23%), respectively. This study provided an overall picture of microbial community functional structures of activated sludge in WWTPs and discerned the linkages between microbial communities and environmental variables in WWTPs.

Project description:The synthetic microbial community used in this study was composed of the major functional guilds (cellulolytic fermenter, sulfate reducer, hydrogenotrophic methanogen and acetoclastic methanogen) that mediate the anaerobic conversion of cellulosic biomass to CH4 and CO2 in wetland soils. The choice of a facultative sulfate-reducing bacterium (Desulfovibrio vulgaris Hildenborough) introduced metabolic versatility and enabled investigations into the community response to sulfate intrusion. The growth status of these multi-species cultures was measured over a week by daily analysis of substrate consumption and product accumulation. The quad-cultures were analyzed with metaproteomics at the end of experiment to characterize the community structure and metabolic activities.

Four full-scale wastewater treatment systems located in Beijing were investigated. Triplicate samples were collected in each site.

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.
