Project description:Although the biodegradation of biodegradable plastics in soil and compost is well-studied, there is little knowledge on the metabolic mechanisms of synthetic polymers degradation by marine microorganisms. Here, we present a multiomics study to elucidate the biodegradation mechanism of a commercial aromatic-aliphatic copolyester film by a marine microbial enrichment culture. The plastic film and each monomer can be used as sole carbon source. Our analysis showed that the consortium synergistically degrades the polymer, different degradation steps being performed by different members of the community. Analysis of gene expression and translation profiles revealed that the relevant degradation processes in the marine consortium are closely related to poly(ethylene terephthalate) biodegradation from terrestrial microbes. Although there are multiple genes and organisms with the potential to perform a degradation step, only a few of these are active during biodegradation. Our results elucidate the potential of marine microorganisms to mineralize biodegradable plastic polymers and describe the mechanisms of labor division within the community to get maximum energetic yield from a complex synthetic substrate.

Project description:Freshwater ecosystems can be largely affected by neighboring agriculture fields where potential fertilizer nitrate run-off may leach into surrounding water bodies. To counteract this eutrophic driver, farmers often utilize denitrifying woodchip bioreactors (WBRs) in which a consortium of microorganisms convert the nitrate into nitrogen-gases in anoxia, fueled by the degradation of lignocellulose. Polysaccharide-degrading strategies have been well-described for various aerobic and anaerobic systems, including the use of carbohydrate-active enzymes, utilization of lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) and other redox enzymes, as well as the use of cellulosomes and polysaccharide utilization loci. However, for denitrifying microorganisms, the lignocellulose-degrading strategies remain largely unknown. Here, we have applied a combination of enrichment techniques, gas measurements, multi-omics approaches, and amplicon sequencing of fungal ITS and procaryotic 16S rRNA genes to highlight microbial drivers for lignocellulose transformation in woodchip bioreactors with the aim to provide an in-depth characterization of the indigenous microorganisms and their active enzymes. Our findings highlight a microbial community enriched for lignocellulose-degrading denitrifiers with key players from Giesbergeria, Cellulomonas, Azonexus, and UBA5070, including polysaccharide utilization loci from Bacteroidetes. A wide substrate specificity is observed among the many expressed carbohydrate active enzymes (CAZymes), evidencing a swift degradation of lignocellulose, including even enzymes with auxiliary activities whose functionality is still puzzling under strict anaerobic conditions.
