Project description:The heat-shock response is a cellular protection mechanism against sudden temperature upshifts extensively studied in Escherichia coli. However, the effects of thermal evolution on this response remain largely unknown. In this study, we investigated the early and late physiological and transcriptional responses to temperature upshift in a thermotolerant strain under continuous culture conditions. Adaptive laboratory evolution was performed on a metabolically engineered E. coli strain (JU15), designed for D-lactic acid production, to enable cellular growth and fermentation of glucose at 45 °C in batch cultures. The resulting homofermentative strain, ECL45, successfully adapted to 45 °C in a glucose-mineral medium at pH 7 under non-aerated conditions. The thermal-adapted ECL45 retained the parental strain’s high volumetric productivity and product/substrate yield. Genomic sequencing of ECL45 revealed eight mutations, including one in a non-coding region and six within the coding regions of genes associated with metabolic, transport, and regulatory functions. Transcriptomic analysis comparing the evolved strain with its parental counterpart under early and late temperature upshifts indicated that the adaptation involved an inactive stringent response. This mechanism likely contributes to the strain’s ability to maintain growth capacity at high temperatures.

Project description:Transcription profile of Escherichia coli cells in biofilms under static batch culture was compared to that of E. coli cells in planktonic cultures. Both E. coli biofilm and planktonic cultures were cultivated for 18 h in 10% Luria-Bertani broth at room temperature (20 degree Celsius). Biofilms were grown in static batch culture in petri dishes. Both planktonic culture and biofilms were homogenized and run through a separated protocol.

Project description:The heat shock response is critical for organisms to survive at a high temperature. Heterologous expression of eukaryotic molecular chaperons protects Escherichia coli against heat stress. Here we report that expression of the plant E3 ligase BnTR1 significantly increase the thermotolerance of Escherichia coli. Different from eukaryotic chaperones, BnTR1 post-transcriptionally regulates the heat shock factor σ32 though zinc fingers of the RING domain, which interacts with DnaK resulting in stabilizing σ32 and subsequently up-regulating heat shock proteins. Our findings indicate the expression of BnTR1 confers thermoprotective effects on E. coli cells, and it may provide useful clues to engineer thermophilic bacterial strains.

Project description:Transcription profiling of wild type E. coli MG1655, intestine-adapted E. coli MG1655star, and E. coli MG1655 flhD mutant grown on glucose, mannose, and mucus. We previously isolated a spontaneous mutant of E. coli K-12, strain MG1655, following passage through the streptomycin-treated mouse intestine, which has colonization traits superior to the wild-type parent strain (Leatham, et. al., 2005, Infect Immun 73:8039-49) The intestine-adapted strain (E. coli MG1655star) grew faster on several different carbon sources compared to the wild-type and was non-motile due to deletion of the flhD gene. To further characterize E. coli MG1655star, we used several high-throughput genomic approaches. Whole-genome pyrosequencing did not reveal any changes on its genome, aside from the deletion at the flhDC locus, that could explain the colonization advantage of E. coli MG1655star. Microarray analysis revealed modest, yet significant induction of catabolic gene systems across the genome in both E. coli MG1655star and the isogenic flhD mutant. Catabolome analysis with Biolog GN2 Microplates revealed an enhanced ability of both E. coli MG1655star and the isogenic flhD mutant to oxidize a wide variety of carbon sources. The results show that intestine-adapted E. coli MG1655star is more fit than the wild-type for intestinal colonization because loss of FlhD results in elevated expression of genes involved in carbon and energy metabolism, leading to more efficient carbon source utilization, which results in a higher population size in the intestine. Hence mutations that enhance metabolic efficiency confer a colonization advantage.

Project description:YbjN, an enterobacteria-specific protein, is a multicopy suppressor of ts9 temperature sensitivity in Escherichia coli. Microarray study revealed that the expression level of ybjN was inversely correlated with the expression of flagellar, fimbrial and acid resistance genes. Over-expression of ybjN significantly down-regulated genes involved in the citric acid cycle, glycolysis, the glyoxylate shunt, oxidative phosphorylation, and amino acid and nucleotide metabolism. On the other hand, over-expression of ybjN up-regulated toxin-antitoxin modules, the SOS responsive pathway, cold shock proteins and starvation-induced transporter genes. Our results collectively suggest that YbjN may play important roles in regulating bacterial multicellular behaviors, metabolism and survival under various stress conditions in Es. coli.

Project description:Escherichia coli, the common inhabitant of the mammalian intestine, exhibits considerable intraspecies genomic variation, which has been suggested to reflect adaptation to different ecological niches. Also, regulatory trade-offs, e.g., between catabolic versatility and stress protection, are thought to result in significant physiological differences between strains. For these reasons, the relevance of experimental observations made for “domesticated” E. coli strains with regard to the behaviour of this species in its natural environments is often questioned and frequently doubts are raised on the status of E. coli as a defined species. We therefore investigated the variability of important eco-physiological functions such as carbon substrate uptake and breakdown capabilities as well as stress defence mechanisms in the genomes of commensal and pathogenic E. coli strains. Furthermore, eco-physiological properties of environmental strains were compared to standard laboratory strain K-12 MG1655. Catabolic, stress protection, and carbon- and energy source transport operons showed a very low intraspecies variability in 57 commensal and pathogenic E. coli. Environmental isolates adapted to glucose-limited growth in a similar way as E. coli MG1655, namely by increasing their catabolic flexibility and by inducing high affinity substrate uptake systems. Our results indicate that the major eco-physiological properties are highly conserved in the natural population of E. coli. This questions the proposed dominant role of horizontal gene transfer for niche adaptation. Keywords: comparative genomic hybridisation

Project description:Honey has been widely used against bacterial infection for centuries. Previous studies suggested that honeys in high concentrations inhibited bacterial growth due to the presence of anti-microbial compounds, such as methylglyoxal, hydrogen peroxide, and peptides. In this study, we found that three honeys (acacia, clover, and polyfloral) in a low concentration as below as 0.5% (v/v) significantly suppress virulence and biofilm formation in enterohemorrhagic E. coli O157:H7 affecting the growth of planktonic cells while these honeys do not harm commensal E. coli K-12 biofilm formation. Transcriptome analyses show that honeys (0.5%) markedly repress quorum sensing genes (e.g., AI-2 import and indole biosynthesis), virulence genes (e.g., LEE genes), and curli genes (csgBAC). We found that glucose and fructose in honeys are key compounds to reduce the biofilm formation of E. coli O157:H7 via suppressing curli production, but not that of E. coli K-12. Additionally, we observed the temperature-dependent response of honeys and glucose on commensal E. coli K-12 biofilm formation; honey and glucose increase E. coli K-12 biofilm formation at 37°C, while they decrease E. coli K-12 biofilm formation at 26°C. These results suggest that honey can be a practical tool for reducing virulence and colonization of the pathogenic E. coli O157:H7, while honeys do not harm commensal E. coli community in the human.

Hence mutations that enhance metabolic efficiency confer a colonization advantage. Three strains were profiled: E. coli MG1655 wildtype, E. coli flhD, and an intestine adapted strain, MG1655star, derived from the wildtype and isolated from feces after 15 days in the streptomycin treated mouse intestine, which proved to be a better colonizer than the wildtype, were grown on MOPS minimal medium containing 0.2% glucose or mannose, or mucus (10 mg/ml) and RNA was extracted from logarithmic phase cultures, and also from mucus grown cells in late log phase.
