Project description:We developed a microbial catalytic concept and strategy to prepare calcium carbonate with micro/nanostructures on the surface of bioceramics to improve bone-forming bioactivity. It involves three processes: bacterial adhesion on biomaterials, production of carbonate assisted with bacteria, nucleation and growth of calcium carbonate nano-crystals on the surface of bioceramics. The microbially catalyzed biominerals exhibited relatively uniform micro/nanostructures on both 2D and 3D CaSiO3 bioceramics. The descriptive analysis of RNA-sequencing revealed that the topographic and chemical cues presented by microbially catalyzed micro/nanostructures could stimulate the biological processes including adhesion, proliferation and differentiation. The study offers a microbially catalytic concept and strategy of fabricating micro/nanostructured biomaterials for tissue regeneration.

Project description:The physiological and transcriptomic response of the metal resistant bacterium Cupriavidus metallidurans strain CH34 in response to stable (non-radioactive) strontium ions (Sr) was investigated. C. metallidurans CH34 could survive and proliferate in the presence of relatively high concentrations of SrCl2 (D10 is 70mM, MIC is 120 mM). Precipitation of Sr as strontium carbonate was observed in the culture during aerobic growth of CH34 in the presence of 60 mM SrCl2. To identify the cellular mechanisms involved in the bioprecipitation process, gene expression in the cells was analyzed after short-time (30 min) exposure to low (5 mM) and high (60 mM) concentrations of SrCl2. The transcription of the gene clusters annotated as hmyFCBA and czcCBADRS, coding for ion efflux pumps, was significantly induced following exposure to Sr, and not with Ca. There were also significant changes is the transcription of the genes encoding TctCBA proteins involved in citrate uptake and two hypothetical porin coding genes following exposure Sr and Ca. These results highlight a specific molecular response of bacterium Cupriavidus metallidurans CH34 to Sr, including the identification of putative Sr specific efflux pumps, and thus the potential of this bacterium to distinguish Sr from Ca. These findings will help to better understand natural Sr (and Ca) microbial weathering or mineralization processes in the environment, and could be of interest for bioremediation or bioprocessing of (radioactive) Sr-containing water, soil or waste. Two-condition experiments. Comparing samples after induction with metals (Sr, Ca) versus non-induced samples. Biological triplicate. Each array contains 3 technical replicates.

Project description:Microbially induced carbonate precipitation (MICP) refers to the biogeochemical process in which calcium carbonate is precipitated by altering the local geochemical environment (Mortensen et al. 2011). These alterations occur as a by-product of common microbial metabolic activities by increasing the local carbonate content as well as pH thereby saturating the solution in respect to carbonate. To better understand the microbial ecology of MICP on a community level in natural environments, we chose to evaluate microbial communities derived from travertine adjacent to Crystal Geyser (CG), Utah. CG is a cold-driven, CO2 rich geyser which is surrounded by colorful travertine that has been suggested to be generated through microbial processes. We used a cultivation-independent, multi-omics approach combined with geochemical measurements to investigate metabolic pathways and physiologies potentially involved in MICP at CG. We collected samples from the top 20 cm of travertine adjacent to Crystal Geyser, Utah in November 2019 and June 2021 (38.9384° N, 110.1354° W) wearing gloves at all times. We sampled 1 m away from the borehole (CG-1) and 10 m away from the borehole (CG-10). We preserved all collected samples in RNAlater-like solution (Menke et al., 2017, Front. Microbiol. 8) in a 1:10 sediment: RNAlater-like solution ratio as previously validated (Jensen et al. (2021, Micro. Spec. 2021, 9:2)

Project description:The weathering of volcanic minerals makes a significant contribution to the global silicate weathering budget, influencing carbon dioxide drawdown and climate control. Basalt rocks may account for over 30% of the global carbon dioxide drawdown in silicate weathering. Yet the genetics of biological rock weathering are unknown. For the first time, we apply a DNA microarray to investigate the genes involved in weathering by the heavy metal resistant organism, Cupriavidus metallidurans CH34; in particular we investigate the sequestering of iron. The results show that the bacterium sequesters iron in the ferrous state (FeII); therefore, not requiring siderophores. Instead an energy efficient process involving upregulation of large porins is employed concomitantly with genes associated with biofilm formation. We hypothesise that rock weathering is induced by changes in chemical equilibrium at the microbe-mineral interface, reducing the saturation state of iron. We also demonstrate that low concentrations of metals in the basalt induce heavy metal resistant genes. Volcanic environments are analogous to some of the earliest environments on Earth. These results not only elucidate the mechanisms by which microorganisms might have sequestered nutrients on the early Earth but they also provide an explanation for the evolution of multiple heavy metal resistance genes long before the creation of contaminated industrial biotopes by human activity.

Project description:To effectively monitor microbial populations in acidic environments and bioleaching systems, a comprehensive 50-mer-based oligonucleotide microarray was developed based on most of the known genes associated with the acidophiles. This array contained 1,072 probes in which there were 571 related to 16S rRNA and 501 related to functional genes. Acid mine drainage (AMD) presents numerous problems to the aquatic life and surrounding ecosystems. However, little is known about the geographic distribution, diversity, composition, structure and function of AMD microbial communities. In this study, we analyzed the geographic distribution of AMD microbial communities from twenty sites using restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis of 16S rRNA genes, and the results showed that AMD microbial communities were geographically distributed and had high variations among different sites. Then an AMD-specific microarray was used to further analyze nine AMD microbial communities, and showed that those nine AMD microbial communities had high variations measured by the number of detected genes, overlapping genes between samples, unique genes, and diversity indices. Statistical analyses indicated that the concentrations of Fe, S, Ca, Mg, Zn, Cu and pH had strong impacts on both phylogenetic and functional diversity, composition, and structure of AMD microbial communities. This study provides insights into our understanding of the geographic distribution, diversity, composition, structure and functional potential of AMD microbial communities and key environmental factors shaping them. This study investigated the geographic distribution of Acid Mine Drainages microbial communities using a 16S rRNA gene-based RFLP method and the diversity, composition and structure of AMD microbial communities phylogenetically and functionally using an AMD-specific microarray which contained 1,072 probes ( 571 related to 16S rRNA and 501 related to functional genes). The functional genes in the microarray were involved in carbon metabolism (158), nitrogen metabolism (72), sulfur metabolism (39), iron metabolism (68), DNA replication and repair (97), metal-resistance (27), membrane-relate gene (16), transposon (13) and IST sequence (11).

Cultures of Cupriavidus metallidurans CH34 were grown in Tris buffered medium MM284 media (with iron), MM284 without iron and MM284 without iron with sterilized basalt at 25 rpm, 30°C until mid-log phase. RNA was extracted from the cells. Three biological replicates of both samples were differentially labeled (resp. Cy3 and Cy5) and hybridized to three CH34 60-mer oligonucleotide glass-spotted microarray carrying three technical repeats.
