Physiology and comparative genomics of the haloalkalitolerant and hydrocarbonoclastic marine strain Rhodococcus ruber MSA14. Arch Microbiol 2024; 206:328. [PMID: 38935150 DOI: 10.1007/s00203-024-04050-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/05/2024] [Revised: 06/07/2024] [Accepted: 06/12/2024] [Indexed: 06/28/2024]
Abstract
Marine hydrocarbonoclastic bacteria can use polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons as carbon and energy sources, that makes these bacteria highly attractive for bioremediation in oil-polluted waters. However, genomic and metabolic differences between species are still the subject of study to understand the evolution and strategies to degrade PAHs. This study presents Rhodococcus ruber MSA14, an isolated bacterium from marine sediments in Baja California, Mexico, which exhibits adaptability to saline environments, a high level of intrinsic pyrene tolerance (> 5 g L- 1), and efficient degradation of pyrene (0.2 g L- 1) by 30% in 27 days. Additionally, this strain demonstrates versatility by using naphthalene and phenanthrene as individual carbon sources. The genome sequencing of R. ruber MSA14 revealed a genome spanning 5.45 Mbp, a plasmid of 72 kbp, and three putative megaplasmids, lengths between 110 and 470 Kbp. The bioinformatics analysis of the R. ruber MSA14 genome revealed 56 genes that encode enzymes involved in the peripheral and central pathways of aromatic hydrocarbon catabolism, alkane, alkene, and polymer degradation. Within its genome, R. ruber MSA14 possesses genes responsible for salt tolerance and siderophore production. In addition, the genomic analysis of R. ruber MSA14 against 13 reference genomes revealed that all compared strains have at least one gene involved in the alkanes and catechol degradation pathway. Overall, physiological assays and genomic analysis suggest that R. ruber MSA14 is a new haloalkalitolerant and hydrocarbonoclastic strain toward a wide range of hydrocarbons, making it a promising candidate for in-depth characterization studies and bioremediation processes as part of a synthetic microbial consortium, as well as having a better understanding of the catabolic potential and functional diversity among the Rhodococci group.

Abstract
The development of wound dressings from biomaterials has been the subject of research due to their unique structural and functional characteristics. Proteins from animal origin, such as collagen and chitosan, act as promising materials for applications in injuries and chronic wounds, functioning as a repairing agent. This study aims to evaluate in vitro effects of scaffolds with different formulations containing bioactive compounds such as collagen, chitosan, N-acetylcysteine (NAC) and ε-poly-lysine (ε-PL). We manufactured a scaffold made of a collagen hydrogel bioconjugated with chitosan by crosslinking and addition of NAC and ε-PL. Cell viability was verified by resazurin and live/dead assays and the ultrastructure of biomaterials was evaluated by SEM. Antimicrobial sensitivity was assessed by antibiogram. The healing potential of the biomaterial was evaluated in vivo, in a model of healing of excisional wounds in mice. On the 7th day after the injury, the wounds and surrounding skin were processed for evaluation of biochemical and histological parameters associated with the inflammatory process. The results showed great cell viability and increase in porosity after crosslinking while antimicrobial action was observed in scaffolds containing NAC and ε-PL. Chitosan scaffolds bioconjugated with NAC/ε-PL showed improvement in tissue healing, with reduced lesion size and reduced inflammation. It is concluded that scaffolds crosslinked with chitosan-NAC-ε-PL have the desirable characteristics for tissue repair at low cost and could be considered promising biomaterials in the practice of regenerative medicine.

Abstract
ε-poly-L-lysine (ε-PL) is the main secondary metabolite of Streptomyces albulus, and it is widely used in the food industry. Polylysine synthetase (Pls) is the last enzyme in the ε-PL biosynthetic pathway. Our previous study revealed that Pls overexpressed in S. albulus CICC11022 result in the efficient production of ε-PL. In this study, a Pls gene knockout strain was initially constructed. Then, genomic, transcriptomic and metabolomic approaches were integrated to study the effects of the high expression and knockout of Pls on the gene expression and metabolite synthesis of S. albulus. The high expression of Pls resulted in 598 significantly differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and 425 known differential metabolites, whereas the inactivation of Pls resulted in 868 significant DEGs and 374 known differential metabolites. The expressions of 8 and 35 genes were negatively and positively associated with the Pls expression, respectively. Subsequently, the influence mechanism of the high expression and inactivation of Pls on the ε-PL biosynthetic pathway was elucidated. Twelve metabolites with 30% decreased yield in the high-expression strain of Pls but 30% increased production in the Pls knockout strain were identified. These results demonstrate the influence of Pls on the metabolism of S. albulus. The present work can provide the theoretical basis for improving the production capacity of ε-PL by means of metabolic engineering or developing bioactive substances derived from S. albulus.

Abstract
Given the antibacterial effects of ε-polylysine acting on cell membranes, and that glycerol phospholipids are important components of the cell membrane, we hypothesized that ε-polylysine may regulate glycerophospholipid metabolism by modifying the gut microbiota. To test this hypothesis, we treated post-weaning C57 mice with different levels of ε-polylysine (0, 300, 600, and 1,200 ppm) in their basic diet. The growth performance and morphology of intestine were then determined. Modification of the gut microbiota and their function were analyzed using 16S rDNA sequencing. Metabolite identification was performed using the LC-MS method. The results showed that body weight decreased with an increasing supplemental level of ε-polylysine from 5 to 7 weeks (P < 0.05), but no significant difference was observed after 8 weeks (P > 0.05). Supplementation with 1,200 ppm ε-polylysine changed the morphology of the jejunum and ileum, increased the villus length, decreased the crypt depth of the jejunum, and decreased the villus length and crypt depth of the ileum (P < 0.05). ε-Polylysine shifted the intestine microbiota by changing alpha diversity (Chao 1, observed species, Shannon, and Simpson indices) and varied at different times. ε-polylysine decreased Firmicutes and increased Bacteroidetes at 4 week, but increased Firmicutes and decreased Bacteroidetes at 10 week. ε-Polylysine regulated genera associated with lipid metabolism such as Parabacteroides, Odoribacter, Akkermansia, Alistipes, Lachnospiraceae UCG-001, Collinsella, Ruminococcaceae, and Intestinimonas. During the adult period, the genera Alistipes, Lachnospiraceae UCG-001, and Streptomyces were positively associated with PC, PE, LysoPC, LysoPE, 1-Arachidonoylglycerophosphoinositol and OHOHA-PS (R > 0.6, P < 0.001), but changes in Blautia, Christensenellaceae R-7 group, Odoribacter, Allobaculum, Ruminococcaceae UCG-004, Ruminococcaceae UCG-005, and Lachnospiraceae UCG-010 were negatively correlated with glycerophospholipid metabolites (R < −0.6, P < 0.001). The abundance of glycerophospholipid metabolites, including PC, PE, lysoPC, and lysoPE, were decreased by ε-polylysine. Furthermore, ε-polylysine reduced the incidence of the genera including Ruminococcus, Prevotella, Prevotellaceae, Butyricimonas, and Escherichia-Shigella and reduced the abundance of Faecalibaculum, Christensenellaceae R-7 group, Coriobacteriaceae UCG-002. In conclusion, ε-polylysine modified gut microbiota composition and function while also restraining pathogenic bacteria. The glycerophospholipid metabolism pathway and associated metabolites may be regulated by intestinal bacteria.

Abstract
This study aimed to assess the influence of dietary supplementation of ε-polylysine on the gut microbiota and host nutrient metabolism, which is not systematically discussed by multi-omics analysis. A total of 40 mice were randomly divided into two groups exposed to either a basal diet (AIN-76A) or a basal diet with 150 ppm ε-polylysine. Fecal samples were collected for gut bacteria identification. Liver and plasma samples were collected for metabolomic and proteomic analyses. The results showed that ε-polylysine decreased the body weight of mice and affected the presence of certain types of intestinal microorganisms. The richness of the microbiota and number of phyla increased with age. ε-Polylysine affected the presence of genera and species, and either regulated or took part in the metabolism of energy, nitrogen, amino acids, lipids, carbohydrates, glycans, cofactors, and vitamins. The metabolite profiling showed that lipid and lipid-like molecules metabolites occupied the majority percent of plasma and liver metabolites. Additionally, ε-polylysine regulated the key role of metabolites and related metabolic enzymes in the metabolic pathways, especially phospholipid metabolism. In conclusion, dietary ε-polylysine improved the immunity of growing mice, and had a greater effect on the anabolism of nutrients in adult mice.

Abstract
ε-Polylysine (ε-PL) is a safe food additive that is used in the food industry globally. This study evaluated the antimicrobial and antibiofilm activity of antibacterial peptides (ε-PL) against food poisoning pathogens detected in chicken (Salmonella Enteritidis, Listeria monocytogenes, and Escherichia coli). The results showed that minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) ranged between 0.031-1.0 mg/mL, although most bacterial groups (75%) showed MICs of 1.0 mg/mL. The reduction in the cell viability of pathogens due to ε-PL depended on the time and concentration, and 1/2 × MIC of ε-PL killed 99.99% of pathogens after 10 h of incubation. To confirm biofilm inhibition and degradation effects, crystal violet assay and confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) were used. The biofilm formation rates of four bacterial groups (Salmonella, Listeria, E. coli, and multi-species bacteria) were 10.36%, 9.10%, 17.44%, and 21.37% at 1/2 × MIC of ε-PL, respectively. Additionally, when observed under a CLSM, ε-PL was found to induce biofilm destruction and bacterial cytotoxicity. These results demonstrated that ε-PL has the potential to be used as an antibiotic and antibiofilm material for chicken meat processing.

Abstract
Actinobacteria represent a ubiquitous group of microorganisms widely distributed in ecosystems. They have diverse physiological and metabolic properties, including the production of extracellular enzymes and a variety of secondary bioactive metabolites, such as antibiotics, immunosuppressants, and other compounds of industrial interest. Therefore, actinobacteria have been used for biotechnological purposes for more than three decades. The development of a biotechnological process requires the evaluation of its cost/benefit ratio, including the search for economic and efficient substrates for microorganisms development. Biodiesel is a clean, renewable, quality and economically viable source of energy, which also contributes to the conservation of the environment. Crude glycerol is the main by-product of biodiesel production and has many properties, so it has a commercial value that can be used to finance the biofuel production process. Actinobacteria can use glycerol as a source of carbon and energy, either pure o crude. A circular economy system aims to eliminate waste and pollution, keep products and materials in use, and regenerate natural systems. Although these principles are not yet met, some approaches are being made in this direction; the transformation of crude glycerol by actinobacteria is a process with great potential to be scaled on an industrial level. This review discusses the reports on glycerol as a promising source of carbon and energy for obtaining biomass and high-added value products by actinobacteria. Also, the factors influencing the biomass and secondary metabolites production in bioreactors are analyzed, and the tools available to overcome those that generate the main problems are discussed.

Abstract
In recent years, there has been an increasing interest in the remediation of contaminated environments, and a suitable solution is in situ bioremediation. To achieve this, large-scale bacterial biomass production should be sustainable, using economic culture media. The main aim of this study was to optimize the physicochemical conditions for the biomass production of an actinobacterium with well-known bioremediation ability using inexpensive substrates and to scale-up its production in a bioreactor. For this, the growth of four strains of actinobacteria were evaluated in minimal medium with glucose and glycerol as carbon and energy sources. In addition, l-asparagine and ammonium sulfate were assayed as alternative nitrogen sources. The strain Streptomyces sp. A5 showed the highest biomass production in shake-flasks culture using glycerol and ammonium sulfate as carbon and nitrogen sources, respectively. Factorial designs with five factors (glycerol concentration, inoculum size, pH, temperature, and agitation) were employed to optimize the biomass production of Streptomyces sp. A5. The maximum biomass production was obtained using 5 g L-1 of glycerol, 0.25 µL of inoculum, pH 7, 30 °C and 200 rpm. Finally, the production was successfully scaled to a 2 L stirred tank bioreactor.

Abstract
Covering: 2010 to 2020 Over the last few decades, Streptomyces have been extensively investigated for their ability to produce diverse bioactive secondary metabolites. Recent advances in Streptomyces research have been largely supported by improvements in high-throughput technology 'omics'. From genomics, numerous secondary metabolite biosynthetic gene clusters were predicted, increasing their genomic potential for novel bioactive compound discovery. Additional omics, including transcriptomics, translatomics, interactomics, proteomics and metabolomics, have been applied to obtain a system-level understanding spanning entire bioprocesses of Streptomyces, revealing highly interconnected and multi-layered regulatory networks for secondary metabolism. The comprehensive understanding derived from this systematic information accelerates the rational engineering of Streptomyces to enhance secondary metabolite production, integrated with the exploitation of the highly efficient 'Design-Build-Test-Learn' cycle in synthetic biology. In this review, we describe the current status of omics applications in Streptomyces research to better understand the organism and exploit its genetic potential for higher production of valuable secondary metabolites and novel secondary metabolite discovery.

Abstract
The surplus of waste glycerol, by-product of the biodiesel production process, is available at the global market. Some species of the genera Streptomyces have the ability to assimilate glycerol and convert it into valuable metabolic products. In the present study, the ability of Streptomyces hygroscopicus to assimilate waste glycerol and convert it into metabolic compounds with antifungal activity against four phytopathogenic fungi obtained from apple fruit samples expressing rot symptoms, was investigated. Production of antifungal metabolites by S. hygroscopicus was carried out in 3 l stirred tank bioreactor through 7 days. Fermentation was carried out at 27 °C with aeration rate of 1.5 vvm and agitation rate of 100 r.p.m. The aim of this work was to analyse bioprocess parameters and to determine at which stage of bioprocess the production of antifungal metabolites occurs. Activity of the cultivation liquid on two isolates of Alternaria alternata and two isolates of Fusarium avenaceum were determined every 12 h using in vitro well diffusion method. It was found that the maximum production of antifungal metabolites occurred at 108 hour of cultivation. Formed inhibition zones have shown that the produced antifungal metabolites have high efficacy on tested phytopathogenic fungi (inhibition zone diameter higher than 35 mm for all test organisms).

Abstract
We report a bio-based, soft, elastic, and tough material prepared from a mixture of ε-poly-l-lysine (ε-PL) and d-fructose. The obtained complex was insoluble in water, whereas its ingredients had high water solubility. This complex was likely formed via Schiff base formation and subsequent rearrangement reactions, that is, the Maillard reaction, because the reaction occurred between reducing sugars and cationic polyelectrolytes having primary and secondary amino groups. The progress of the Maillard reaction was investigated by proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Mechanical properties of the complexes were evaluated by tensile testing, and the properties of the optimized complex [ε-PL/fructose = 60:40 (w/w), maximum stress = 27.9 MPa, strain at break = 46%, Young's modulus = 741.6 MPa] resembled those of some petroleum-based plastics. Additionally, the ε-PL/fructose complex displayed antimicrobial activity against Bacillus subtilis. These ε-PL/fructose complexes have biological properties such as antimicrobial activity, low toxicity toward mammals, and biodegradability, which are attributable to the intrinsic nature of ε-PL, as well as enhanced mechanical properties and water resistance compared with pure ε-PL.

Adaptability of Klebsiella pneumoniae 2e, a Newly Isolated 1,3-Propanediol-Producing Strain, to Crude Glycerol as Revealed by Genomic Profiling. Appl Environ Microbiol 2019; 85:AEM.00254-19.

Abstract
Crude glycerol is largely generated as the main by-product of the biodiesel industry and is unprofitable for industrial application without costly purification. The direct bioconversion of crude glycerol into 1,3-propanediol (1,3-PDO) by microorganisms is a promising alternative for effective and economic utilization. In this study, Klebsiella pneumoniae 2e was newly isolated for the conversion of crude glycerol into 1,3-PDO. Batch fermentation analysis confirmed that crude glycerol and its main impurities had slight impacts on the growth, key enzyme activity, and 1,3-PDO production of K. pneumoniae 2e. The 1,3-PDO yield from crude glycerol by K. pneumoniae 2e reached 0.64 mol 1,3-PDO/mol glycerol, which was higher than that by most reported 1,3-PDO-producing Klebsiella strains. Genomic profiling revealed that K. pneumoniae 2e possesses 30 genes involved in glycerol anaerobic metabolism and 1,3-PDO biosynthesis. Quantitative real-time PCR analysis of these genes showed that the majority of the genes encoding the key enzymes for glycerol metabolism and 1,3-PDO biosynthesis were significantly upregulated during culture in crude glycerol relative to that in pure glycerol. Further comparative genomic analysis revealed a novel glycerol uptake facilitator protein in K. pneumoniae 2e and a higher number of stress response proteins than in other Klebsiella strains. This work confirms the adaptability of a newly isolated 1,3-PDO-producing strain, K. pneumoniae 2e, to crude glycerol and provides insights into the molecular mechanisms involved in its crude glycerol tolerance, which is valuable for industrial 1,3-PDO production from crude glycerol.IMPORTANCE The rapid development of the biodiesel industry has led to tremendous crude glycerol generation. Due to the presence of complex impurities, crude glycerol has low value for industry without costly purification. Obtaining novel microorganisms capable of direct and efficient bioconversion of crude glycerol to value-added products has great economic potential for industrial application. In this work, we characterized a newly isolated strain, Klebsiella pneumoniae 2e, with the capacity to efficiently produce 1,3-propanediol (1,3-PDO) from crude glycerol and demonstrated its adaptation to crude glycerol. Our work provides insights into the molecular mechanisms of K. pneumoniae 2e adaptation to crude glycerol and the expression patterns of its genes involved in 1,3-PDO biosynthesis, which will contribute to the development of industrial 1,3-PDO production from crude glycerol.
