Project description:A significant part of the heavier petroleum fraction resulting from offshore oil-spills sinks to the deep-sea. Its fate and biodegradation by microbial communities is unclear. In particular, the physiological and metabolic features of hydrostatic pressure (HP) adapted oil-degraders have been neglected. In this study, hydrocarbon-free sediment from 1km below surface water (bsl) was incubated at 0.1, 10 and 20MPa (equivalent to surface waters, 1 and 2km bsl) using triacontane (C30) as sole carbon source for a 3-month enrichment period. HP strongly impacted biodegration, as it selected for microbial communities with small cells, high O2 respiration and nutrients requirements, but low biomass and C30-degradation yields. The alkane-degrading metaproteome linked to β-oxidation was detected but its expression was reduced under HP contrary to several housekeeping genes. This was reflected in the enriched communities, as atmospheric pressure was dominated by hydrocarbonoclastic bacteria while non-specialized or previously unrecognized oil-degrading genera were enriched under HP.

Project description:Hydrostatic pressure is one of the main mechanical stimuli cartilage cells are submitted to during joint loading. If moderate hydrostatic pressure is known to be beneficial to cartilage differentiation, excessive pressure, on the other hand, induces changes in cartilage similar to those observed in osteoarthritic cartilage. Therefore, the purpose of the experiment is to identify new target genes of high hydrostatic pressure in chondrocyte precursor cells.

Project description:Pseudothermotoga elfii strain DSM9442 and P. elfii subsp. lettingae strain TMOT are hyperthermophilic bacteria. P. elfii is a moderate piezophile, isolated from an oil-producing well in Africa at a depth of more than 1600 m. P. lettingae is piezotolerant, isolated from a thermophilic bioreactor fed with methanol as the sole carbon and energy source. In this study, we analysed these bacteria at the genomic and transcriptomic levels. According to the hydrostatic pressure growth conditions the transcriptomic analyses revealed differentially expressed genes emphasizing amino acid and sugars metabolism and transport as the major hydrostatic pressure responding processes. Notably, this work highlights the central role of the amino acid aspartate as key intermediate of the pressure adaptation mechanisms of the deep strain P. elfii DSM 9442. In addition, several differentially expressed genes involved in the membrane and cell wall biosynthesis pathways may be linked to the chain formation morphotype previously described at high pressure for strain P. elfii DSM9442.
