For instance, exoelectrogens (e.g. 64, 22322236 (1998). Using this mechanism could be an efficient and cost-effective way to directly control redox balances in co-culture fermentation. The increase in cell dry weight (CDW) occurred faster when oxygen was provided in comparison to the anaerobic experiment 4F0%. The complete reduction of oxygen observed together with the fact that cell growth is absolutely inhibited when this reduction does not take place indicates a need of G. sulfurreducens to dispose of any oxygen found in the surrounding of the cells. Consumption of oxygen and cell growth were only achieved when 5 or 10% of oxygen were added to the headspace of culture flasks, but not at higher concentrations [9]. Biotechnol. Consistently, metabolic pattern of C. acetobutylicum was modified towards more electron dissipation via H2 evolution. Geobacter sulfurreducens metabolism at different donor/acceptor ratios. DO sensors were calibrated by a two-point calibration using 21% oxygen and 0% oxygen (corresponding to 100% N2), respectively, in the gas inlet. This site needs JavaScript to work properly. C. pasteurianum metabolic pattern was significantly altered. List of Prokaryotic names with Standing in Nomenclature (LPSN) moves to the DSMZ. Transcriptome analysis suggests a menaquinol oxidase to be the enzyme responsible for oxygen reduction.

In the following three microaerobic cultivations, cells were provided with oxygen as an additional and alternative electron acceptor next to 4 mM of fumarate. Medium was prepared as described above with altering fumarate concentrations (see Table 2) and sterilised at 121C and 2 bar (200,000 Pa) for 20 min. The concentrations of acetate, succinate, fumarate and pyruvate were determined during cultivations. 2022 Jan 20;26(1):9. doi: 10.1007/s00792-022-01259-y. sharing sensitive information, make sure youre on a federal All chemicals were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (Saint-Louis, USA) at the highest grade available. Genes encoding for enzymes from the central carbon and energy metabolism were mainly not expressed differentially in experiment 4F1% and 4F3%, but the transcription of many of them was downregulated in experiment 4F5%. Under electron acceptor limiting conditions (experiments 4F0%, 4F1% and 4F3%), cell growth deviated from exponential growth and behaved linear. Provided that complete oxygen reduction is occurring, the specific oxygen uptake rate (sOUR) can be determined by the following Eq 1 from the identified kla-value, the determined maximum DO concentration c*O2 and the observed cell dry weight X. Theses pre-cultures were centrifuged at 3600g for 1mn. Renew. Prices include 20% VAT. A high G. sulfurreducens growth positively correlated with an increase of PDO (r=0.95, p=0.0002, n=8), butyrate (r=0.91, p=0.0003, n=8) and acetate (r=0.93, p=0.0069, n=8). From the linear slope of ln(c*O2 cO2) plotted against the time the kLa was calculated to be 9.4 1.1 h-1. There was also a corresponding slight increase in fumarate in these experiments, although this increase was not as pronounced as the degradation of succinate. that G. sulfurreducens can only reduce oxygen after cell growth with fumarate [9], microaerobic cultivations were performed with an initial anaerobic adjustment period of 2 h. Afterwards, the gas composition was changed to contain 1, 3 or 5% of oxygen (4F1%, 4F3% and 4F5%, black symbols in Fig 1). When 5% of oxygen was provided, however, DO rose to 1.4 mg L-1. Google Scholar. showed that synthetic iron oxides of a range of crystallinities can be reduced by Geobacter sulfurreducens (growth was not directly measured), but more crystalline phases such as hematite and goethite were subject to substantially less reduction than poorly crystalline phases. The composition of the fermentation medium (per liter of water) was as follows: 10g glycerol (99%), 0.82g Na-Acetate, 2.00g NH4Cl, 0.75g KCl, 2.45g NaH2PO4, 4.58g Na2HPO4, 0.28g Na2SO4, 0.26g MgCl2.6H2O, 2.90mg CaCl2.2H2O, 0.50g L-cysteine, 10mL vitamin solution (DSMZ medium 141), 10mL trace element solution (DSMZ medium 141) and 0.5mL trace element solution SL-10 (DSMZ medium 320). They observed a similar dependency of the ability of oxygen reduction by G. sulfurreducens on the provided oxygen concentration. Genetic characterization of a single bifunctional enzyme for fumarate reduction and succinate oxidation in Geobacter sulfurreducens and engineering of fumarate reduction in Geobacter metallireducens. 15, 40804106 (2011).

The hierarchical structure provides a conductive surface area available for G. sulfurreducens colonization, with a flow through configuration along the electrode providing a substrate for bacterial colonization and bio-electrochemical processes. One option to ensure electrical connections during co-culture experiments could be to grow G. sulfurreducens as a biofilm on conductive materials. Motility is caused by cells protruding pilus fibres whose tips attach on a surface and subsequently retracting the pilus again, pulling the cell body forward [29]. The different probes representing one gene were matched resulting in mean and median of the logarithmic fold changes (logFC). Experiments conducted for comparison of anaerobic and microaerobic growth of, PLOS is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) corporation, #C2354500, based in San Francisco, California, US. 30, 133139 (2015).

Subsequently, 300 ng of Cy3 and Cy5 labeled RNA, respectively, was pooled, fragmented and hybridized to a custom-made GE 8x15K microarray for analysis of gene expression of G. sulfurreducens which was designed using the eArray platform (Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, California, USA) based on the genome sequence of G. sulfurreducens DSMZ 12127 using the gene expression hybridization kit from Agilent (Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, California, USA) according to the manufacturers instructions. Nine G. sulfurreducens strains were isolated from biofilms formed on an anode poised at -0.2 V (vs SHE) in a bioelectrochemical system in which river sediment was used as an inoculum. Geomicrobiol J. Google Scholar. An official website of the United States government. Microbiol. Curr. A similar behavior was previously reported in a co-culture of Desulfovibrio vulgaris and Clostridium acetobutylicum in which D. vulgaris was able to grow in presence of C. acetobutylicum and with no external electron acceptor32. This should exclude falsification of results by nonuniform labelling and finally resulted in four arrays for each experiment. G. sulfurreducens pre-cultures were used after the cells naturally precipitated into red aggregates (~7 days). Caccavo, F. et al. YX/S was at 0.552 0.014 gCDW gS-1 under anaerobic conditions (40F0%) and was similar for all cultivations except 4F1%, which yielded a slightly higher value of 0.63 0.06 gCDW gS-1. The results presented here have important implications for understanding how G. sulfurreducens survives exposure to oxygen. Leibniz Institut DSMZ-Deutsche Sammlung von Mikroorganismen und Zellkulturen GmbH ; Curators of the DSMZ; Parte, A.C., Sard Carbasse, J., Meier-Kolthoff, J.P., Reimer, L.C. The data presented here show that G. sulfurreducens can grow with oxygen as the terminal electron acceptor with a maximum sOUR of 95 mgO2 gCDW-1 h-1. Strain DL-1 requires OmcS for growth on insoluble Fe(III) . Bacterial strain and growth conditions. The existence of G. sulfurreducens PCA was beneficial to the growth of putative denitrifiers such as Diaphorobacter, Delftia, and Shinella in the mixed denitrifying microbial community, even though planktonic Geobacter gradually decreased from 38% (0 h) to 0.4% (24 h) in 24 h.

In this case, some microorganisms couple their electron flows with other species via interspecies electron transfer (IET) to carry out reactions that would otherwise be thermodynamically unfavourable1,2. This gene encodes for the catalytic subunit of the cytochrome bd menaquinol oxidase. Abstract. Holmes, D. E., Dang, Y., Walker, D. J. F. & Lovley, D. R. The electrically conductive pili of Geobacter species are a recently evolved feature for extracellular electron transfer. The expression of many of the corresponding genes is regulated by the RpoS regulon in G. sulfurreducens, which was shown to be inevitable for cell growth with oxygen [11]. Further, the type IV pili genes whose expression was found to be upregulated in experiment 4F1% were mainly expressed at lower levels in 4F5% (see Table 1). In contrast, 39% less biomass production was observed in co-cultures than in pure cultures of C. pasteurianum. To allow for quantification of oxygen, the volumetric oxygen transfer coefficient (kLa), and the maximum dissolved oxygen (DO) concentration c*O2 were determined for the bioreactor system and medium used. Front. The purpose of the study reported here was to identify potential candidates via whole-genome gene expression analysis and evaluate these candidates with genetic approaches. Examination of two years of community dynamics in an anaerobic bioreactor using fluorescence polymerase chain reaction (PCR) single-strand conformation polymorphism analysis.

Lovley, D. R. et al. Genome Scale Mutational Analysis of Geobacter sulfurreducens Reveals Distinct Molecular Mechanisms for Respiration and Sensing of Poised Electrodes versus Fe(III) Oxides. Assuming a 1:1 stoichiometry for this transformation, there are potentially up to 2.5 mM of pyruvate available for further biomass formation, which can explain the 13% increased cell dry weight found in this cultivation that was observed even though the biomass/acetate yield did not change significantly with oxygen as terminal electron acceptor (see Fig 6, green lines). & Call, D. F. Hardwiring microbes via direct interspecies electron transfer: mechanisms and applications. Geobacter sulfurreducens sp. Geobacter sulfurreducens is an iron-reducing bacterium that has a significant content of c-type cytochromes (c-Cyts) in an outer-cell membrane (OM) and bacterial filaments, drawing keen attention as a model microorganism for the research of microbial fuel cells and bioremediation technology. All transcriptome data have been deposited in the NCBI Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO). These results suggest that G. sulfurreducens follows the strategy of encapsulation rather than fleeing when confronted with concentrations too high to allow for oxygen reduction. 2004 May;186(10):3022-8. doi: 10.1128/JB.186.10.3022-3028.2004. Under anaerobic conditions, fumarate is used as terminal electron acceptor and reduced to succinate via a bifunctional fumarate reductase / succinate dehydrogenase [19]. Extractions were verified using Infinite 200 PRO NanoQuant (Tecan Group Ltd., Mnnedorf, Zwitzerland). volume7, Articlenumber:44334 (2017) Hereby, the greater potential energy arising from the high redox potential of oxygen (815 mV) [18] compared to the redox couple fumarate/succinate (30 mV) [19] could allow for a more efficient acetate utilisation of G. sulfurreducens when grown under microaerobic conditions. Benomar, S. et al. eCollection 2022. Bookshelf After 18 h respectively 24 h of cultivation, cell growth and acetate consumption both subsided.

Dynamics of Legionella spp. Taken together, this suggested that CO is not utilized via hydrogen as intermediate. The intensive research that has been conducted on BESs has revealed that besides the well-known Geobacter and Shewanella species, many other microorganisms are able to interact directly with electrodes12,13,19. Several other genes of G. sulfurreducens found in the RpoS regulon were not differentially expressed in this study except for a gene encoding for desulfoferrodoxin (GSU0720) which was expressed at 2.9-fold higher levels in experiment 4F5%. Rebekka Biedendieck, Cell counts are based on qPCR results and corrected by the respective number of copies of 16S rRNA for each strain. The relatively low growth of G. sulfurreducens could be explained by its high doubling time (T d Wang, H. et al.

Get the most important science stories of the day, free in your inbox. Emde, R. & Schink, B. Calculations were made under the following hypothesises: (i) acetate is the only carbon source and electron donor for G. sulfurreducens growth27, (ii) this species uses only 10% of the electron equivalents it consumed for its own growth25 and (iii) all the remaining electrons are transferred to C. pasteurianum. As oxygen now serves as electron acceptor, the bifunctional fumarate reductase / succinate dehydrogenase can operate in the other direction and the TCA cycle can function as a closed loop (see Fig 6, green lines). In the presence of CO, reduction of NADP(+) was observed at a rate comparable to CO oxidation coupled to fumarate reduction in vivo. The maximum DO concentration when gassing with 3% of oxygen was determined to be 0.93 mg L-1. GSU2029 to GSU2039 include genes for PilM, PilN, PilO and PilP, which are thought to be part of the assembly responsible for pilus protrusion and retraction in G. sulfurreducens [30] as they serve this function in other bacteria [27,29].

Thus, more succinate was formed here than it should have been possible from the provided fumarate. Careers. 7, 641648 (2005). Transcriptome analysis has further revealed three different survival strategies, depending on the oxygen concentration present. Epub 2017 Oct 31. An official website of the United States government. But the exact mechanisms of how G. sulfurreducens deals with oxygen are still mostly subject to speculation. 2007;7(1):16 Available from: Williams KH, Long PE, Davis JA, Wilkins MJ, NGuessan AL, Steefel CI, et al. This would have theoretically led to more ATP production. Cells of G. sulfurreducens, which were cultivated with acetate (5 mM) and fumarate (25 mM), showed a growth rate of about 0.15 h 1 and a doubling time of 6.7 h. The fatty acid pattern of G. sulfurreducens mainly consisted of C16:19 cis and C16:0, which accounted for more than 80% of the total fatty acids. the genes for the ferritin-like domain containing proteins, GSU2193 and GSU2967, and for a universal stress protein, GSU0515) were upregulated up to 9-fold. The reduced iron oxides are then shed off by retraction of the pilus, which is powered by the ATPase PilT-4 [31]. We acknowledge support by the German Research Foundation and the Open Access Publication Funds of the Technische Universitt Braunschweig. Only the two replicates of G. sulfurreducens and C. pasteurianum co-cultures where G. sulfurreducens growth was observed had different metabolic patterns when compared to the pure cultures of C. pasteurianum. Sign up for the Nature Briefing newsletter what matters in science, free to your inbox daily. As a consequence, a two-sample Fisher-Pitman permutation test that does not require any distribution hypothesis was used. The maximum specific growth rate achieved in experiment 4FSI was determined to be 0.124 0.007 h-1, which is in the same range as the specific growth rate determined for the anaerobic conditions with excess of fumarate to be 0.109 0.015 h-1. In contrast to the other microaerobic experiments, the cell growth observed was exponential. Nucleic Acids Res. The reason for this may be that the menaquinol oxidase is a high-oxygen affinity terminal oxidase [12], thus ensuring a fast and efficient removal of any intruding oxygen. 323009/ERC_/European Research Council/International, Abrini J, Naveau H, Nyns EJ. Direct interspecies electron transfer (DIET) mechanism has been recently characterised with Geobacter species which couple the electron balance with other species through physical contacts. [Unsaturated organic acids as terminal electron acceptors for reductase chains of anaerobic bacteria].
