[PMID: 33478007 PMCID: PMC7835871 DOI: 10.3390/microorganisms9010201] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/31/2020] [Revised: 01/15/2021] [Accepted: 01/18/2021] [Indexed: 12/18/2022] Open
Abstract
After the discovery of Corynebacterium glutamicum from avian feces-contaminated soil, its enigmatic L-glutamate secretion by corynebacterial MscCG-type mechanosensitive channels has been utilized for industrial monosodium glutamate production. Bacterial mechanosensitive channels are activated directly by increased membrane tension upon hypoosmotic downshock; thus; the physiological significance of the corynebacterial L-glutamate secretion has been considered as adjusting turgor pressure by releasing cytoplasmic solutes. In this review, we present information that corynebacterial mechanosensitive channels have been evolutionally specialized as carriers to secrete L-glutamate into the surrounding environment in their habitats rather than osmotic safety valves. The lipid modulation activation of MscCG channels in L-glutamate production can be explained by the "Force-From-Lipids" and "Force-From-Tethers" mechanosensing paradigms and differs significantly from mechanical activation upon hypoosmotic shock. The review also provides information on the search for evidence that C. glutamicum was originally a gut bacterium in the avian host with the aim of understanding the physiological roles of corynebacterial mechanosensing. C. glutamicum is able to secrete L-glutamate by mechanosensitive channels in the gut microbiota and help the host brain function via the microbiota-gut-brain axis.

Abstract
Currently, the mechanism of temperature-sensitive production of glutamate in Corynebacterium glutamicum has not been clarified. We first found the murA and murB genes were potentially related to temperature-sensitive secretion of glutamate, which were not existed in a temperature-sensitive mutant. When replenishing murA or/and murB in the mutant, the temperature sensitivity was weakened. While, their knockout in a wild-type strain resulted in temperature-sensitive secretion of glutamate. Peptidoglycan analysis showed that deletion of murA and murB decreased the peptidoglycan synthesis. Comparative metabolomics analysis suggested that the variation in cell wall structure resulted in decreased overall cellular metabolism but increased carbon flow to glutamate synthesis, which was a typical metabolism pattern in industrial temperature-sensitive producing strains. This study clarifies the mechanism between murA and murB deletion and the temperature-sensitive secretion of glutamate in C. glutamcium, and provides a reference for the metabolic engineering of cell wall to obtain increased bioproduction of chemicals.

Abstract
The fermentative properties of thermo-sensitive strain Corynebacterium glutamicum 2262 were investigated in processes coupling aerobic cell growth and the anaerobic fermentation phase. In particular, the influence of two modes of fermentation on the production of lactate, the fermentation product model, was studied. In both processes, lactate was produced in significant amount, 27 g/L in batch culture, and up to 55.8 g/L in fed-batch culture, but the specific production rate in the fed-batch culture was four times lower than that in the batch culture. Compared to other investigated fermentation processes, our strategy resulted in the highest yield of lactic acid from biomass. Lactate production by C. glutamicum 2262 thus revealed the capability of the strain to produce various fermentation products from pyruvate.

Abstract
The effects of the surfactants, Tween 80 and sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate (SDBS) on a membrane's fatty acid composition and the transmembrane transport of phenanthrene were investigated. The results indicated that both surfactants could modify the composition of fatty acids of Citrobacter sp. Strain SA01 cells, 50 mg L(-1) of both surfactants changed the composition of the fatty acids the most, increasing the amount of unsaturated fatty acids. The comparison of fatty acid profiles with diphenylhexatriene fluorescence anisotropy, a probe for plasma membrane fluidity, suggested that an increased amount of unsaturated fatty acids corresponded to greater membrane fluidity. In addition, increased unsaturated fatty acids promoted phenanthrene to partition from the extracellular matrix to cell debris, which increased reverse partitioning from the cell debris to the cytochylema. The results of this study were expected in that the addition of a surfactant is a simple and effective method for accelerating the rate-limiting step of transmembrane transport of hydrophobic organic compounds (HOCs) in bioremediation.

Abstract
Carnobacteriocin BM1 (Cbn BM1) is a class IIa bacteriocin produced by Carnobacterium maltaromaticum CP5 isolated from a French mold ripened cheese. Numerous studies highlight variations in numerous parameters, such as bacterial membrane composition and potential, according to physiological changes. In this work, the mechanism of action of an oxidized form of Cbn BM1 was studied on C. maltaromaticum DSM20730 in log and stationary growth phases. Membrane integrity assessment and high resolution imaging by atomic force microscopy confirmed the link between physiological state and bacterial sensitivity to Cbn BM1. Indeed, these approaches enable visualizing morphological damage of C. maltaromaticum DSM20730 only in an active dividing state. To specifically address the interaction between peptide and bacterial membrane, fluorescence anisotropy measurements were conducted. Results revealed strong modifications in membrane fluidity by Cbn BM1 only for C. maltaromaticum DSM20730 in log growth phase. In a similar way, the Δψ component, but not the ΔpH component of the proton-motive force, was perturbed only for bacteria in log growth phase. These results clearly show that a class IIa bacteriocin antimicrobial mechanism of action can be modulated by the physiological state of its target bacteria.

Abstract
Corynebacterineae is a specific suborder of Gram-positive bacteria that includes Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Corynebacterium glutamicum. The ultrastructure of the cell envelope is very atypical. It is composed of a heteropolymer of peptidoglycan and arabinogalactan (AG) covalently associated to an outer membrane. Five arabinosyltransferases are involved in the biosynthesis of AG in C. glutamicum. AftB catalyzes the transfer of Araf (arabinofuranosyl) onto the arabinan domain of the arabinogalactan to form terminal beta(1 --> 2)-linked Araf residues. Here we show that Delta aftB cells lack half of the arabinogalactan mycoloylation sites but are still able to assemble an outer membrane. In addition, we show that a Delta aftB mutant grown on a rich medium has a perturbed cell envelope and sheds a significant amount of membrane fragments in the external culture medium. These fragments contain mono- and dimycolate of trehalose and PorA/H, the major porin of C. glutamicum, but lack conventional phospholipids that typify the plasma membrane, suggesting that they are derived from the atypical mycolate outer membrane of the cell envelope. This is the first report of outer membrane destabilization in the Corynebacterineae, and it suggests that a strong interaction between the mycolate outer membrane and the underlying polymer is essential for cell envelope integrity. The presence of outer membrane-derived fragments (OMFs) in the external medium of the Delta aftB mutant is also a very promising tool for outer membrane characterization. Indeed, fingerprint analysis of major OMF-associated proteins has already led to the identification of 3 associated mycoloyltransferases and an unknown protein with a C-terminal hydrophobic anchoring domain reminiscent of that found for the S-layer protein PS2 of C. glutamicum.
