Project description:<p>Adaptive laboratory evolution has proven highly effective for obtaining microorganisms with enhanced capabilities. Yet, this method is inherently restricted to the traits that are positively linked to cell fitness, such as nutrient utilization. Here, we introduce coevolution of obligatory mutualistic communities for improving secretion of fitness-costly metabolites through natural selection. In this strategy, metabolic cross-feeding connects secretion of the target metabolite, despite its cost to the secretor, to the survival and proliferation of the entire community. We thus co-evolved wild-type lactic acid bacteria and engineered auxotrophic <em>Saccharomyces cerevisiae</em> in a synthetic growth medium leading to bacterial isolates with enhanced secretion of two B-group vitamins, viz., riboflavin and folate. The increased production was specific to the targeted vitamin, and evident also in milk, a more complex nutrient environment that naturally contains vitamins. Genomic, proteomic and metabolomic analyses of the evolved lactic acid bacteria, in combination with flux balance analysis, showed altered metabolic regulation towards increased supply of the vitamin precursors. Together, our findings demonstrate how microbial metabolism adapts to mutualistic lifestyle through enhanced metabolite exchange.</p>

Project description:Several groups have shown that through evolution experiments, tolerance and resistance evolved rapidly under cyclic antibiotic treatment. In other words, intermittent antibiotic exposure performed in a typical adaptive laboratory evolution (ALE) experiments will “train” the bacteria to become tolerant/resistant to the drug. Using this experimental strategy, we performed in vitro laboratory evolution in MRSA using daptomycin, and mine novel daptomycin tolerance and resistance mutants, which were isolated at specific time points during the evolution experiments. Three daptomycin-tolerant isolates with different tolerance level were generated from our laboratory evolution (TOL2 and TOL5 with a mild-tolerance phenotype, and TOL6 with a high-tolerance phenotype). They all bear mutations at different genes, and have no increase in MIC towards daptomycin. Besides, we also isolated three daptomycin-resistant isolates (RES1, RES2, RES3) that have a single point mutation in the same gene, mprF, but at different locations, leading to an increased MIC towards daptomycin. Through proteomics, we uncovered the differential adaptation strategies of these daptomycin tolerant and resistant MRSA strains, and how they respond differently to antibiotics compared to the ancestral wild-type.

Project description:Experimental evolution is a powerful approach to study how ecological forces shape microbial genotypes and phenotypes, but to date strains were predominantly adapted to conditions specific to laboratory environments. The lactic acid bacterium Lactococcus lactis naturally occurs on plants and in the dairy environment and it is generally believed, that dairy strains originate from the plant niche. Here we investigated the adaptive process from the plant to the dairy niche and show that during the experimental evolution of a L. lactis plant isolate in milk, several mutations are selected that affect amino acid metabolism and transport. Three independently evolved strains were characterized by whole genome re-sequencing, revealing 4 to 28 mutational changes in the individual strains. Two of the adapted strains showed clearly increased acidification rates and yields in milk, and contained three identical point mutations. Transcriptome profiling and extensive phenotyping of the wild-type plant isolate compared to the evolved mutants, and a "natural" dairy isolate confirmed that major physiological changes associated with improved performance in the dairy environment relate to nitrogen metabolism. The deletion of a putative transposable element led to a significant decrease of the mutation rate in two of the adapted strains. These results specify the adaptation of a L. lactis strain isolated from mung bean sprouts to growth in milk and they demonstrate that niche-specific adaptations found in environmental microbes can be reproduced by experimental evolution. Multiple loop design with 12 samples and 16 dual label arrays. Each sample is hybrdized at least on two different arrays and with both dyes.

Project description:This agent-based model is based on an adaptive laboratory evolution (ALE) experiment scenario of two mutually cross feeding strains of bacteria and yeast. The bacterial strain secretes vitamins for which the yeast strain is auxotrophic and the yeast strain secrets amino acids for which the bacterial strain is auxotrophic. In particular, the model simulates a situation where a mutation arises in the bacterial strain that results in the emergence of individuals (mutant bacteria) with a higher secretion of vitamins as compared to the wild type (WT). This increase in secretion comes with a cost in terms of fitness (growth rate) of the mutant bacteria. The model can be used to assess if this mutant is able to persist and increase in frequency in the cross-feeding community.

Project description:It was found that after OA treatment, compared with the CK group, the abundance of lactic acid bacteria in the intestinal flora of mice in the OA group increased, and the increase in the abundance of lactic acid bacteria made the gene Il10 upregulated, Il10 had a significant effect on tumor volume reduction and prolongation of mouse survival, and played a role through cytokine receptor interaction pathway.
