Project description:In hypersaline brines, biodegradation of recalcitrant plant polymers can be inhibited by salt-induced microbial stress and/or caused by inadequate metabolic capabilities of extremely halophilic microbes. Therefore, woody materials can be well-preserved even in NaCl brines that are less biologically hostile than most other brines. Here, we considered whether the nanohaloarchaea, that live alongside (the related) haloarchaea, ever partake in the degradation of xylan, a major hemicellulose component of wood. Samples were taken from natural evaporitic brines and anthropogenic solar salterns located in various parts of Europe and Asia. We recently demonstrated that nanohaloarchaeon Ca. Nanohalobium constans lives as an ectosymbiont associated with the chitinolytic haloarchaeon Halomicrobium. Here, we describe an extremely halophilic xylan-degrading consortium with three members, where nanohaloarchaea act as ectosymbionts of Haloferax lucertensis, which in turn acts as a scavenger of xylan-degradation products, produced by a primary xylan hydrolytic Halorhabdus species. The two corresponding binary associations of nanohaloarchaea, Candidatus Nanohalococcus occultus SVXNc and Candidatus Nanohalovita haloferacivicina BNXNv and their hosts were obtained, stably cultivated and characterized. In contrast to the previously described association of chitinolytic haloarchaeon Halomicrobium and its amylolytic symbiont Ca. Nanohalobium, the host haloarchaea within the xylan-degrading consortium could metabolize α-glucans (glycogen and starch), and, thus, obtained no obvious trophic benefit from ectosymbionts. The current study has broadened the range of culturable ectosymbiontic nanohaloarchaea and demonstrates that they are an important ecophysiological component of polysaccharide-degrading halophilic microbial communities and can be readily isolated in binary co-cultures by using the appropriate enrichment strategy.

Project description:Herbivorax saccincola A7 is an alkali-thermophilic lignocellulolytic bacterium that was known to possess a strong xylan degradation ability. They can utilize a wide range of carbon sources, however the response and regulation mechanisms to different carbon sources, in terms of genes expression, are still not identified. In this study, H. saccincola A7 was cultured with cellobiose, cellulose, xylan, cellulose-xylan mixture, and empty fruit bunch (EFB) as the sole carbon source. We carried out a comparative expression analysis, focusing on biomass degradation-related genes. The cellulosomal scaffolding proteins and cellulosomal enzymes of H. saccincola A7 were drastically induced when a cellulose-containing substrate was used as a carbon source. On the other hand, xylan induced only some non-cellulosomal enzymes that might be necessary for xylan degradation. The identification of the carbohydrate-sensing mechanism in H. saccincola A7 appeared a similar system as previously described in Clostridium thermocellum. The lignocellulose degradation ability of H. saccincola A7 may be controlled enzyme expression by cellulose-containing substrate, not by xylan. Thus, recognition in the existence of cellulosic substrates is effective in enhancing a high xylan degradation ability in H. saccincola A7.

Project description:Lignocellulose degradation by microbes plays a central role in global carbon cycling, human gut metabolism, and renewable energy technologies While considerable effort has been put into understanding the biochemical aspects of lignocellulose degradation, much less work has been done to understand how these enzymes work in an in vivo context Here, we report a systems level study of xylan degradation in the saprophytic bacterium Cellvibrio japonicus Transcriptome analysis indicated seven genes that encode carbohydrate active enzymes were up-regulated during growth with xylan containing media In-frame deletion analysis of these genes found that only gly43F is critical for utilization of xylo-oligosaccharides, xylan, and arabinoxylan Heterologous expression of gly43F was sufficient for the utilization of xylo-oligosaccharides in Escherichia coli Additional analysis found that the xyn11A, xyn11B, abf43L, abf43K, and abf51A gene products were critical for utilization of arabinoxylan Furthermore, a predicted transporter (CJA_1315) was required for effective utilization of xylan substrates, and we propose this unannotated gene be called xntA (xylan transporter A) Our major findings are 1) C japonicus employs both secreted and surface associated enzymes for xylan degradation, which differs from the strategy used for cellulose degradation, and 2) a single cytoplasmic β-xylosidase is essential for the utilization of xylo-oligosaccharides

Project description:Dietary fiber degradation is a key function of the human gut microbiota. The aim of this study was to increase our knowledge on the degradation of plant cell wall polysaccharide degradation by a prominent human gut bacterial species, Bacteroides xylanisolvens. The transcriptome analysis of B. xylanisolvens XB1AT revealed the existence of six and two genomic loci dedicated to the degradation of pectins and xylan, respectively. These loci or PUL ("Polysaccharide Utilization Loci") are known to encode enzyme systems in Bacteroides that are specific to a particular polysaccharide. Simple two-way comparisons between pectin or xylan sources (treatment) and glucose or xylose (control), collected during mid- and late-log phase. Three replicates per condition.

Project description:Various saprotrophic microorganisms, especially filamentous fungi, can efficiently degrade lignocellulose that is one of the most abundant natural material on earth. It consists of complex carbohydrates and aromatic polymers found in plant cell wall and thus in plant debris. Aspergillus fumigatus Z5 was isolated from compost heaps and showed highly efficient plant biomass-degradation capability.Genome analysis revealed an impressive array of genes encoding cellulases, hemicellulases, and pectinases involved in lignocellulosic biomass degradation. We sequenced the transcriptomes of Aspergillus fumigatus Z5 induced by sucrose, xylan, cellulose and rice straw, respectively. There were 444, 1711 and 1386 significantly differently (q-value ⤠0.0001 and |log2 of the ratio of the RPM values| ⥠2) expressed genes in xylan, cellulose and rice straw,respectively, relative to sucrose control. After incubation at 45 â, 145rpm for 20 hours with sucrose as the carbon source, mycelia were induced for 16 hours using xylan, cellulose and rice straw, respectively. Transcriptome induced by sucrose was used as the control when comparing the differences between other three transcriptomes (induced by xylan, cellulose and rice straw, respectively).

Project description:Hemicellulose, the second most abundant plant biomass fraction after cellulose, is widely viewed as a potential feedstock for the production of liquid fuels and other value-added materials. Degradation of hemicellulose by filamentous fungi requires production of many different enzymes, which are induced by biopolymers or its derivatives and regulated mainly at the transcriptional level through transcription factors (TFs). Neurospora crassa has been shown to express and secrete plant cell wall associated enzymes. To better understand genes specifically associated with degradation of hemicellulose, we identified 353 genes by transcriptome analysis of N. crassa wild type strain grown on beechwood xylan. Exposure to xylan induces 9 of the 19 predicted hemicellulase genes. The xylanolytic phenotype of strains with deletions in genes identified from the secretome and transcriptome analysis of wild type showed that none were essential for growth on beechwood xylan. The transcription factor XlnR/Xyr1 in Aspergillus and Trichoderma species is considered to be the major transcriptional regulator of genes encoding both cellulases and hemicellulases. We identified a xlnR/xyr1 homolog in N. crassa, NCU06971, termed xlr-1 (xylanase regulator 1). Deletion of xlr-1 in N. crassa abolishes the growth on xylan and xylose, but growth on cellulose was indistinguishable from wild type. To determine regulatory mechanisms associated with hemicellulose degradation, we explored the transcriptional regulon of XLR-1 under xylose and xylanolytic versus cellulolytic conditions. XLR-1 regulated only some predicted hemicellulase genes in N. crassa and was required for a full induction of several cellulase genes. Hemicellulase gene expression was induced by a combination of release from carbon catabolite repression (CCR) and induction. However, in N. crassa, xlr-1 is subject to non-CRE-1 mediated CCR. This systematic analysis provides the similarities and differences of hemicellulose degradation and regulation mechanisms used by N. crassa in comparison to other filamentous fungi. Four-condition experiments (minimal medium, xylan medium,xylose and Avicel medium) of mutant strain(xlr-1) compared to wild type strain; Cy3 and Cy5 dye swap

Project description:CDT-1 and CDT-2 are two cellodextrin transporters discovered in the filamentous fungus Neurospora crassa. Previous studies focused on characterizing the role of these transporters in only a few conditions, including cellulose degradation, and the function of these two transporters is not yet completely understood. In this study, we show that deletion of cdt-2, but not cdt-1, results in growth defects not only on Avicel but also on xylan. cdt-2 can be highly induced by xylan, and this mutant has a xylodextrin consumption defect. Transcriptomic analysis of the cdt-2 deletion strain on Avicel and xylan showed that major cellulase and hemicellulase genes were significantly down-regulated in the cdt-2 deletion strain and artificial over expression of cdt-2 in N. crassa increased cellulase and hemicellulase production. Together, these data clearly show that CDT-2 plays a critical role in hemicellulose sensing and utilization. This is the first time a sugar transporter has been assigned a function in the hemicellulose degradation pathway. Furthermore, we found that the transcription factor XLR-1 is the major regulator of cdt-2, while cdt-1 is primarily regulated by CLR-1. These results deepen our understanding of the functions of both cellodextrin transporters, particularly for CDT-2. Our study also provides novel insight into the mechanisms for hemicellulose sensing and utilization in N. crassa, and may be applicable to other cellulolytic filamentous fungi. N. crassa was pregrown in Sucrose and transferred to Avicel (cellulose) or Xylan(hemicellulose) media. Up regulated and down regulated genes expressions were compared with wild type strain on two conditions (Avicel and xylan) respectively.
