Project description:To characterize the taxonomic and functional diversity of biofilms on plastics in marine environments, plastic pellets (PE and PS, ø 3mm) and wooden pellets (as organic control) were incubated at three stations: at the Baltic Sea coast in Heiligendamm (coast), in a dead branch of the river Warnow in Warnemünde (inlet), and in the Warnow estuary (estuary). After two weeks of incubation, all pellets were frozen for subsequent metagenome sequencing and metaproteomic analysis. Biofilm communities in the samples were compared on multiple levels: a) between the two plastic materials, b) between the individual incubation sites, and c) between the plastic materials and the wooden control. Using a semiquantitative approach, we established metaproteome profiles, which reflect the dominant taxonomic groups as well as abundant metabolic functions in the respective samples.

Project description:Salmonella spp. biofilms have been implicated in persistence in the environment and plant surfaces. In addition, Salmonella is able to form biofilms on the surface on cholesterol gallstones. The ability of Salmonella spp. on these surfaces is superior to biofilm formation on surfaces on glass or plastic. Thus, we hypothesized that Salmonella gene expression is specific during biofilm development on cholesterol surfaces.

Project description:Biofilm formation is an important virulence trait of the pathogenic yeast Candida albicans. Large-scale genetics strategies aimed at identifying genes involved in biofilm development are hampered by lack of a complete sexual cycle in this diploid yeast in addition to the tedious generation of homozygous gene-deletion mutants. Gene overexpression is an attractive alternative strategy for large-scale phenotypic analyses and gene-function studies. We combined gene overexpression, strain barcoding and microarray profiling to screen a library of 531 C. albicans conditional overexpression strains (~10% of the genome) for genes affecting i) planktonic cell fitness and ii) biofilm development in mixed-population experiments. We found 5 genes whose overexpression affects planktonic strain fitness, including RAD53, RAD51, PIN4, orf19.2781, all encoding (or predicted to encode) regulators of DNA-damage response or cell-cycle progression and SFL2, involved in filamentous growth. We identified 16 and 4 genes (out of 531) whose overexpression respectively increases and decreases strain occupancy within the multi-strain biofilm. Strikingly, strains with increased abundance in the multi-strain biofilm were significantly enriched for genes encoding cell wall proteins (10 genes), including the glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored proteins Pga15, Pga19, Pga22, Pga59, Pga32 and Pga41. Data validation experiments using either individually- or competitively-grown overexpression and/or the respective knock-out strains revealed that the identified genes differently contribute to biofilm formation during specific stages of biofilm development, including increased or decreased substrate adherence (IHD1, PGA32, PGA37, PGA15, PGA22, PGA59 and PGA19) or biofilm biomass growth and cohesion (PGA15, PGA59 and PGA22). In line with the hypothesis that cell wall genes contribute to biofilm development, we show that strains overexpressing PGA15 or PGA22 display altered cell wall structures. Our study reveals that cell wall proteins are important actors during C. albicans biofilm formation and illustrates the powerful use of signature tagging in conjunction with gene overexpression for the identification of genes involved in processes pertaining to C. albicans virulence. A total of 8 samples are included in this study. For fitness profiling of planktonic cells, 2 biological replicates were analyzed (samples Pool_Fitness_planktonic_rep1 and Pool_Fitness_planktonic_rep2). For quantification of strain abundance during biofilm formation, 6 biological replicates were analyzed (Pool_Biofilm_rep1, Pool_Biofilm_rep2, Pool_Biofilm_rep3, Pool_Biofilm_rep4, Pool_Biofilm_rep5, Pool_Biofilm_rep6). Genomic DNA was purified and used as template to PCR-amplify barcodes, which were then used as probes for microarray hybridization. This experiment was done twice independently. For quantification of strain abundance during multi-strain biofilm formation, strain pools were grown in minimal GHAUM medium with or without doxycycline, each inoculum was then diluted to an OD600 of 1 in fresh minimal GHAUM medium with or without doxycycline and left at room temperature for 30 min, to allow further overexpression. Plastic slides (ThermanoxM-bM-^DM-"; Nunc) were immersed in the inoculum for 30 min at room temperature to allow adhesion of cells to the plastic substrate. The plastic slides were then transferred to the glass vessel of a 40-mL incubation chamber. This vessel has two glass tubes inserted to drive the entry of medium and air, while used medium is evacuated through a third tube. The flow of medium is controlled by a recirculation pump (IsmatecM-BM-.) set at 0.6 mL.min-1 and pushed by pressured air supplied at 105 Pa, conditions minimizing planktonic phase growth and promoting biofilm formation. The chambers with the plastic substrate were incubated at 37C and biofilms were grown for 40h followed by genomic DNA extraction, barcode amplification and differential labeling (dox-treated samples with Cy5, untreated samples with Cy3) and hybridization to barcode microarrays.

Project description:Neisseria gonorrhoeae, the etiologic agent of gonorrhea, is frequently asymptomatic in women, often leading to chronic infections. One factor contributing to this may be biofilm formation. N. gonorrhoeae can form biofilms over glass and plastic surfaces. There is also evidence that biofilm formation may occur during natural cervical infection. To further study the mechanism of this biofilm formation, transcriptional profiles of N. gonorrhoeae biofilm were compared to planktonic profiles. Biofilm RNA was extracted from N. gonorrhoeae 1291 grown for 48 hours in continuous flow chambers over glass. Planktonic RNA was extracted from the biofilm runoff. When biofilm was compared to planktonic growth, 3.8 % of the genome was differentially regulated. Genes highly up-regulated in biofilm included aniA, norB, and ccp, which play critical roles in anaerobic metabolism and oxidative stress tolerance. Down-regulated genes included the nuo gene cluster (NADH dehydrogenase) and the cytochrome bcI complex, which are involved in aerobic respiration and are thought to contribute to endogenous oxidative stress. Furthermore, we determined that aniA, ccp, and norB insertional mutants are attenuated for biofilm formation over glass and transformed human cervical epithelial cells (THCEC). This data suggests that biofilm formation could minimize oxidative stress during cervical infection and allow N. gonorrhoeae to maintain a nitric oxide steady state that may be anti-inflammatory.
