Abstract
Microbial blooms colonize the Greenland Ice Sheet bare ice surface during the ablation season and significantly reduce its albedo. On the ice surface, microbes are exposed to high levels of irradiance, freeze-thaw cycles, and low nutrient concentrations. It is well known that microorganisms secrete metabolites to maintain homeostasis, communicate with other microorganisms, and defend themselves. Yet, the exometabolome of supraglacial microbial blooms, dominated by the pigmented glacier ice algae Ancylonema alaskanum and Ancylonema nordenskiöldii, remains thus far unstudied. Here, we use a high-resolution mass spectrometry-based untargeted metabolomics workflow to identify metabolites in the exometabolome of microbial blooms on the surface of the southern tip of the Greenland Ice Sheet. Samples were collected every 6 h across two diurnal cycles at 5 replicate sampling sites with high similarity in community composition, in terms of orders and phyla present. Time of sampling explained 46% (permutational multivariate analysis of variance [PERMANOVA], pseudo-F = 3.7771, p = 0.001) and 27% (PERMANOVA, pseudo-F = 1.8705, p = 0.001) of variance in the exometabolome across the two diurnal cycles. Annotated metabolites included riboflavin, lumichrome, tryptophan, and azelaic acid, all of which have demonstrated roles in microbe-microbe interactions in other ecosystems and should be tested for potential roles in the development of microbial blooms on bare ice surfaces.

Liu W, Zou H, Wu S, Li N, Pang Q, Yan X. Growth promotion of Sargassum fusiforme by epiphytic microbes is dependent on the extent of interspecific interactions of the microbial community. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2023; 897:165449. [PMID: 37437642 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2023.165449] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/29/2023] [Revised: 07/01/2023] [Accepted: 07/08/2023] [Indexed: 07/14/2023]
Abstract
Profound growth differences such as seedling length and biomass are often observed during the cultivation of Sargassum fusiforme despite the absence of detectable variance in abiotic factors that could have affected this process. This highlights the importance of biotic factors such as epiphytic microbiota in controlling seedling growth. Yet, how, and to what extent microbial activities can affect host growth in the presence of seawater flow and continuous erosion remains debatable. Particularly, the contribution of microbial network interactions to the growth of macroalgae remains poorly understood. This study aimed to compare the physicochemical properties of S. fusiforme seedlings via 16S rRNA gene Illumina sequencing-based profiling of the epiphytic microbial communities of seedlings with different lengths. Significantly different epiphytic bacterial communities were observed among S. fusiforme seedlings of different lengths. The result showed that community from longer seedlings maintained higher bacterial diversity with the taxa Gammaproteobacteria, Burkholderiales, Alteromonadales, Vibrionaceae, Ralstonia, Colwelliaceae, and Thalassotalea being selectively enriched. More importantly, microbial interspecific interactions, which were predominantly positive, were enhanced consistently in communities of the longer seedlings, indicative of reinforced prevalent and mutually cooperative relationships among the microorganisms associated with S. fusiforme seedlings of greater length. Furthermore, longer seedlings also displayed up-regulation of microbial functional potentials involved in N fixation and mineralization, P mineralization and transportation, and ion transportation compared with shorter ones. Lastly, stochastic processes dominated the community assembly of the epiphytic microorganisms. These findings could provide new insights into the relationship between microbial communities and growth in S. fusiforme seedlings and enable us to predict the community diversity and assembly of macroalgae-associated microbial communities. This could have important implications for linking microbial community diversity and network interactions to their host productivity.

Enzyme Microb Technol 2023; 170:110291.

Abstract
The microalgae Chlorella saccharophila UTEX247 was co-cultured with its symbiotic indigenous isolated bacterial strain, Exiguobacterium sp., to determine the possible effects of bacteria on microalgae growth and lutein productivity. Under optimal conditions, the lutein productivity of co-culture was 298.97 µg L-1 d-1, which was nearly 1.45-fold higher compared to monocultures i.e., 103.3 µg L-1 d-1. The highest lutein productivities were obtained in co-cultures, accompanied by a significant increase in cell biomass up to 0.84-fold. These conditions were analyzed using an untargeted metabolomics approach to identify metabolites enhancing valuable renewables, i.e., lutein, without compromising growth. Our qualitative metabolomic analysis identified nearly 30 (microalgae alone), 41 (bacteria alone), and 75 (co-cultures) metabolites, respectively. Among these, 46 metabolites were unique in the co-culture alone. The co-culture interactions significantly altered the role of metabolites such as thiamine precursors, reactive sugar anomers like furanose and branched-chain amino acids (BCAA). Nevertheless, the central metabolism cycle upregulation depicted increased availability of carbon skeletons, leading to increased cell biomass and pigments. In conclusion, the co-cultures induce the production of relevant metabolites which regulate growth and lutein simultaneously in C. saccharophila UTEX247, which paves the way for a new perspective in microalgal biorefineries.

Tong CY, Honda K, Derek CJC. A review on microalgal-bacterial co-culture: The multifaceted role of beneficial bacteria towards enhancement of microalgal metabolite production. ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2023; 228:115872. [PMID: 37054838 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2023.115872] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 19.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/07/2023] [Revised: 04/06/2023] [Accepted: 04/09/2023] [Indexed: 05/16/2023]
Abstract
Mass microalgal-bacterial co-cultures have come to the fore of applied physiological research, in particularly for the optimization of high-value metabolite from microalgae. These co-cultures rely on the existence of a phycosphere which harbors unique cross-kingdom associations that are a prerequisite for the cooperative interactions. However, detailed mechanisms underpinning the beneficial bacterial effects onto microalgal growth and metabolic production are rather limited at the moment. Hence, the main purpose of this review is to shed light on how bacteria fuels microalgal metabolism or vice versa during mutualistic interactions, building upon the phycosphere which is a hotspot for chemical exchange. Nutrients exchange and signal transduction between two not only increase the algal productivity, but also facilitate in the degradation of bio-products and elevate the host defense ability. Main chemical mediators such as photosynthetic oxygen, N-acyl-homoserine lactone, siderophore and vitamin B12 were identified to elucidate beneficial cascading effects from the bacteria towards microalgal metabolites. In terms of applications, the enhancement of soluble microalgal metabolites is often associated with bacteria-mediated cell autolysis while bacterial bio-flocculants can aid in microalgal biomass harvesting. In addition, this review goes in depth into the discussion on enzyme-based communication via metabolic engineering such as gene modification, cellular metabolic pathway fine-tuning, over expression of target enzymes, and diversion of flux toward key metabolites. Furthermore, possible challenges and recommendations aimed at stimulating microalgal metabolite production are outlined. As more evidence emerges regarding the multifaceted role of beneficial bacteria, it will be crucial to incorporate these findings into the development of algal biotechnology.

Abstract
Sustainable environmental management is one of the important aspects of sustainable development goals. Increasing amounts of wastewaters (WW) from exponential economic growth is a major challenge, and conventional treatment methods entail a huge carbon footprint in terms of energy use and GHG emissions. Microalgae-based WW treatment is a potential candidate for sustainable WW treatment. The nutrients which are otherwise unutilized in the conventional processes are recovered in the beneficial microalgal biomass. This review presents comprehensive information regarding the potential of microalgae as sustainable bioremediation agents. Microalgae-bacterial consortia play a critical role in synergistic nutrient removal, supported by the complex nutritional and metabolite exchange between microalgae and the associated bacteria. Design of effective microalgae-bacteria consortia either by screening or by recent technologies such as synthetic biology approaches are highly required for efficient WW treatment. Furthermore, this review discusses the crucial research gap in microalgal WW treatment - the application of a multi-omics platform for understanding microalgal response towards WW conditions and the design of effective microalgal or microalgae-bacteria consortia based on genetic information. While metagenomics helps in the identification and monitoring of the microbial community throughout the treatment process, transcriptomics, proteomics and metabolomics aid in studying the algal cellular response towards the nutrients and pollutants in WW. It has been established that the integration of microalgal processes into conventional WW treatment systems is feasible. In this direction, future research directions for microalgal WW treatment emphasize the need for identifying the niche in WW treatment, while highlighting the pilot sale plants in existence. Microalgae-based WW treatment could be a potential phase in the waste hierarchy of circular economy and sustainability, considering WWs are a rich secondary source of finite resources such as nitrogen and phosphorus.

Abstract
The applications of microalgae biomass have been widely studied worldwide. The classical processes used in outdoor cultivations of microalgae, in closed or open photobioreactors, occur in the presence of bacteria. Understanding how communication between cells occurs through quorum sensing and evaluating co-cultures allows the production of microalgae and cyanobacteria to be positively impacted by bacteria, in order to guarantee safety and profitability in the production process. In addition, the definition of the effects that occur during an interaction, promotes insights to improve the production of biomolecules, and to develop innovative products. This review presents the interactions between microalgae and bacteria, including compounds exchanges and communication, and addresses the development of new pharmaceutical, cosmetic and food bioproducts from microalgae based on these evaluations, such as prebiotics, vegan skincare products, antimicrobial compounds, and culture media with animal free protein for producing vaccines and other biopharmaceutical products. The use of microalgae as raw biomass or in biotechnological platforms is in line with the fulfillment of the 2030 Agenda related to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Abstract
Both algae and bacteria are essential inhabitants of surface waters. Their presence is of ecological significance and sometimes of public health concern triggering various control actions. Interactions of microalgae, macroalgae, submerged aquatic vegetation, and bacteria appear to be important phenomena necessitating a deeper understanding by those involved in research and management of microbial water quality. Given the long-standing reliance on Escherichia coli as an indicator of the potential presence of pathogens in natural waters, understanding its biology in aquatic systems is necessary. The major effects of algae and aquatic vegetation on E. coli growth and survival, including changes in the nutrient supply, modification of water properties and constituents, impact on sunlight radiation penetration, survival as related to substrate attachment, algal mediation of secondary habitats, and survival inhibition due to the release of toxic substances and antibiotics, are discussed in this review. An examination of horizontal gene transfer and antibiotic resistance potential, strain-specific interactions, effects on the microbial, microalgae, and grazer community structure, and hydrodynamic controls is given. Outlooks due to existing and expected consequences of climate change and advances in observation technologies via high-resolution satellite imaging, unmanned aerial vehicles (drones), and mathematical modeling are additionally covered. The multiplicity of interactions among bacteria, algae, and aquatic vegetation as well as multifaceted impacts of these interactions, create a wide spectrum of research opportunities and technology developments.

Abstract
Dissolved exometabolites mediate algal interactions in aquatic ecosystems, but microalgal exometabolomes remain understudied. We conducted an untargeted metabolomic analysis of nonpolar exometabolites exuded from four phylogenetically and ecologically diverse eukaryotic microalgal strains grown in the laboratory, freshwater Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, brackish Desmodesmus sp., marine Phaeodactylum tricornutum, and marine Microchloropsis salina, to identify released metabolites based on relative enrichment in the exometabolomes compared to cell pellet metabolomes. Exudates from the different taxa were distinct, but we did not observe clear phylogenetic patterns. We used feature-based molecular networking to explore the identities of these metabolites, revealing several distinct di- and tripeptides secreted by each of the algae, lumichrome, a compound that is known to be involved in plant growth and bacterial quorum sensing, and novel prostaglandin-like compounds. We further investigated the impacts of exogenous additions of eight compounds selected based on exometabolome enrichment on algal growth. Of these compounds, five (lumichrome, 5′-S-methyl-5′-thioadenosine, 17-phenyl trinor prostaglandin A2, dodecanedioic acid, and aleuritic acid) impacted growth in at least one of the algal cultures. Two of these compounds (dodecanedioic acid and aleuritic acid) produced contrasting results, increasing growth in some algae and decreasing growth in others. Together, our results reveal new groups of microalgal exometabolites, some of which could alter algal growth when provided exogenously, suggesting potential roles in allelopathy and algal interactions. IMPORTANCE Microalgae are responsible for nearly half of primary production on earth and play an important role in global biogeochemical cycling as well as in a range of industrial applications. Algal exometabolites are important mediators of algal-algal and algal-bacterial interactions that ultimately affect algal growth and physiology. In this study, we characterize exometabolomes across marine and freshwater algae to gain insights into the diverse metabolites they release into their environments (“exudates”). We observe that while phylogeny can play a role in exometabolome content, environmental conditions or habitat origin (freshwater versus marine) are also important. We also find that several of these compounds can influence algal growth (as measured by chlorophyll production) when provided exogenously, highlighting the importance of characterization of these novel compounds and their role in microalgal ecophysiology.

Abstract
Algae-bacteria interaction is one of the main factors underlying the formation of harmful algal blooms (HABs). The aim of this study was to develop a genome-wide high-throughput screening method to identify HAB-influenced specific interactive bacterial metabolites using a comprehensive collection of gene-disrupted E. coli K-12 mutants (Keio collection). The screening revealed that a total of 80 gene knockout mutants in E. coli K-12 resulted in an approximately 1.5-fold increase in algal growth relative to that in wild-type E. coli. Five bacterial genes (lpxL, lpxM, kdsC, kdsD, gmhB) involved in the lipopolysaccharide (LPS) (or lipooligosaccharide, LOS) biosynthesis were identified from the screen. Relatively lower levels of LPS were detected in these bacteria compared to that in the wild-type. Moreover, the concentration-dependent decrease in microalgal growth after synthetic LPS supplementation indicated that LPS inhibits algal growth. LPS supplementation increased the 2,7-dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate fluorescence, as well as the levels of lipid peroxidation-mediated malondialdehyde formation, in a concentration-dependent manner, indicating that oxidative stress can result from LPS supplementation. Furthermore, supplementation with LPS also remarkably reduced the growth of diverse bloom-forming dinoflagellates and green algae. Our findings indicate that the Keio collection-based high-throughput in vitro screening is an effective approach for the identification of interactive bacterial metabolites and related genes.
