Abstract
A major incident occurred at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station following the tsunami triggered by the Tohoku-Pacific Ocean Earthquake in March 2011, whereby seawater entered the torus room in the basement of the reactor building. Here, we identify and analyze the bacterial communities in the torus room water and several environmental samples. Samples of the torus room water (1 × 109 Bq137Cs/L) were collected by the Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings from two sampling points between 30 cm and 1 m from the bottom of the room (TW1) and the bottom layer (TW2). A structural analysis of the bacterial communities based on 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing revealed that the predominant bacterial genera in TW1 and TW2 were similar. TW1 primarily contained the genus Limnobacter, a thiosulfate-oxidizing bacterium. γ-Irradiation tests on Limnobacter thiooxidans, the most closely related phylogenetically found in TW1, indicated that its radiation resistance was similar to ordinary bacteria. TW2 predominantly contained the genus Brevirhabdus, a manganese-oxidizing bacterium. Although bacterial diversity in the torus room water was lower than seawater near Fukushima, ~70% of identified genera were associated with metal corrosion. Latent environment allocation-an analytical technique that estimates habitat distributions and co-detection analyses-revealed that the microbial communities in the torus room water originated from a distinct blend of natural marine microbial and artificial bacterial communities typical of biofilms, sludge, and wastewater. Understanding the specific bacteria linked to metal corrosion in damaged plants is important for advancing decommissioning efforts. IMPORTANCE In the context of nuclear power station decommissioning, the proliferation of microorganisms within the reactor and piping systems constitutes a formidable challenge. Therefore, the identification of microbial communities in such environments is of paramount importance. In the aftermath of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station accident, microbial community analysis was conducted on environmental samples collected mainly outside the site. However, analyses using samples from on-site areas, including adjacent soil and seawater, were not performed. This study represents the first comprehensive analysis of microbial communities, utilizing meta 16S amplicon sequencing, with a focus on environmental samples collected from the radioactive element-containing water in the torus room, including the surrounding environments. Some of the identified microbial genera are shared with those previously identified in spent nuclear fuel pools in countries such as France and Brazil. Moreover, our discussion in this paper elucidates the correlation of many of these bacteria with metal corrosion.

Abstract
Clinical diagnostics and microbiology require high-throughput identification of microorganisms. Sample multiplexing prior to detection is an attractive means to reduce analysis costs and time-to-result. Recent studies have demonstrated the discriminative power of tandem mass spectrometry-based proteotyping. This technology can rapidly identify the most likely taxonomical position of any microorganism, even uncharacterized organisms. Here, we present a simplified label-free multiplexing method to proteotype isolates by tandem mass spectrometry that can identify six microorganisms in a single 20 min analytical run. The strategy involves the production of peptide fractions with distinct hydrophobicity profiles using spin column fractionation. Assemblages of different fractions can then be analyzed using mass spectrometry. Results are subsequently interpreted based on the hydrophobic characteristics of the peptides detected, which make it possible to link each taxon identified to the initial sample. The methodology was tested on 32 distinct sets of six organisms including several worst-scenario assemblages-with differences in sample quantities or the presence of the same organisms in multiple fractions-and proved to be robust. These results pave the way for the deployment of tandem mass spectrometry-based proteotyping in microbiology laboratories.

Abstract
Quickly identifying and characterizing isolates from extreme environments is currently challenging while very important to explore the Earth's biodiversity. As these isolates may, in principle, be distantly related to known species, techniques are needed to reliably identify the branch of life to which they belong. Proteotyping these environmental isolates by tandem mass spectrometry offers a rapid and cost-effective option for their identification using their peptide profiles. In this study, we document the first high-throughput proteotyping approach for environmental extremophilic and halophilic isolates. Microorganisms were isolated from samples originating from high-altitude Andean lakes (3700-4300 m a.s.l.) in the Chilean Altiplano, which represent environments on Earth that resemble conditions on other planets. A total of 66 microorganisms were cultivated and identified by proteotyping and 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing. Both the approaches revealed the same genus identification for all isolates except for three isolates possibly representing not yet taxonomically characterized organisms based on their peptidomes. Proteotyping was able to indicate the presence of two potentially new genera from the families of Paracoccaceae and Chromatiaceae/Alteromonadaceae, which have been overlooked by 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing approach only. The paper highlights that proteotyping has the potential to discover undescribed microorganisms from extreme environments.

Abstract
Rapid identification of microorganisms is essential for medical diagnostics, sanitary controls, and food safety. High-throughput analytical platforms currently rely on whole-cell MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry to process hundreds of samples per day. Although this technology has become a reference method, it is unable to process most environmental isolates and opportunistic pathogens due to an incomplete experimental spectrum database. In most cases, its discriminating power is limited to the species taxonomical rank. By recording much more sequence information at the peptide level, proteotyping by tandem mass spectrometry is able to identify the taxonomic position of any microorganism in the tree of life and can be highly discriminating at the subspecies level. We propose here a methodology for ultra-fast identification of microorganisms by tandem mass spectrometry based on direct sample infusion and a highly sensitive procedure for data processing and taxonomic identification. Results obtained on reference strains and hitherto uncharacterized bacterial isolates show identification to species level in 36 s of tandem mass spectrometry signal, 102 s when including the injection procedure. Flash proteotyping is highly discriminating, as it can provide information down to strain level. The methodology enables high throughput identification of isolates, opening up new prospects, particularly in culturomics, and diagnostics.

Abstract
To meet clinical diagnostic needs and for general microbiological screening, it is essential to be able to accurately and rapidly identify any microorganisms from complex microbiota. To gain insight into the individual components of microbiota, culturomics has been proposed as a means to systematically test hundreds of possible cultivation conditions and generate numerous microbial isolates with very distinct characteristics. High-throughput identification methods must now be developed to quickly screen these isolates. Currently, most multiplexing methods involve labeling, which comes at a cost. In this paper, we present an innovative label-free multiplexing method for the identification of microorganisms using tandem mass spectrometry. The method is based on offline reversed-phase fractionation of individual peptidomes. Multiplexing is achieved by mixing fractions of staged hydrophobicity; thus, each sample is mapped to specific elution times. In this proof-of-concept study, multiplexed samples were analyzed by tandem mass spectrometry in a single run and microorganisms present in the mixture were resolved by phylopeptidomics proteotyping. Using this methodology, up to 21 microorganisms could be identified in a single 60 min run performed with a Q-Exactive HF high-resolution mass spectrometer, resulting in a rate of one microorganism identified per 3 min of mass spectrometry, without any need for the use of labeling reagents. This approach opens new perspectives for the application of high-throughput proteotyping of bacteria using tandem mass spectrometry in large culturomics projects.

Abstract
Microbial life can thrive in the most inhospitable places, such as nuclear facilities with high levels of ionizing radiation. Using direct meta-analyses, we have previously highlighted the presence of bacteria belonging to twenty-five different genera in the highly radioactive water of the cooling pool of an operating nuclear reactor core. In the present study, we further characterize this specific environment by isolating and identifying some of these microorganisms and assessing their radiotolerance and their ability to decontaminate uranium. This metal is one of the major radioactive contaminants of anthropogenic origin in the environment due to the nuclear and mining industries and agricultural practices. The microorganisms isolated when sampling was performed during the reactor operation consisted mainly of Actinobacteria and Firmicutes, whereas Proteobacteria were dominant when sampling was performed during the reactor shutdown. We investigated their tolerance to gamma radiation under different conditions. Most of the bacterial strains studied were able to survive 200 Gy irradiation. Some were even able to withstand 1 kGy, with four of them showing more than 10% survival at this dose. We also assessed their uranium uptake capacity. Seven strains were able to remove almost all the uranium from a 5 µM solution. Four strains displayed high efficiency in decontaminating a 50 µM uranium solution, demonstrating promising potential for use in bioremediation processes in environments contaminated by radionuclides.

Abstract
Correct identification of the microorganisms present in a complex sample is a crucial issue. Proteotyping based on tandem mass spectrometry can help establish an inventory of organisms present in a sample. Evaluation of bioinformatics strategies and tools for mining the recorded datasets is essential to establish confidence in the results obtained and to improve these pipelines in terms of sensitivity and accuracy. Here, we propose several tandem mass spectrometry datasets recorded on an artificial reference consortium comprising 24 bacterial species. This assemblage of environmental and pathogenic bacteria covers 20 different genera and 5 bacterial phyla. The dataset comprises difficult cases, such as the Shigella flexneri species, which is closely related to Escherichia coli, and several highly sequenced clades. Different acquisition strategies simulate real-life scenarios: from rapid survey sampling to exhaustive analysis. We provide access to individual proteomes of each bacterium separately to provide a rational basis for evaluating the assignment strategy of MS/MS spectra when recorded from complex mixtures. This resource should provide an interesting common reference for developers who wish to compare their proteotyping tools and for those interested in evaluating protein assignment when dealing with complex samples, such as microbiomes.

Abstract
The vast majority of marine microorganisms and their functions are yet to be explored. The considerable diversity they encompass is an endless source of knowledge and wealth that can be valued on an industrial scale, emphasizing the need to develop rapid and efficient identification and characterization techniques. In this study, we identified 26 microbial isolates from coastal water of the NW Mediterranean Sea, using phylopeptidomics, a cutting-edge tandem mass spectrometry proteotyping technique. Taxonomical identification at the species level was successfully conducted for all isolates. The presence of strains belonging to the newly described Balneolaeota phylum, yet uncharacterized at the proteomics scale, was noted. The very first proteomics-based investigation of a representative of the Balneolaeota phylum, Balneola vulgaris, is proposed, demonstrating the use of our proteotyping workflow for the rapid identification and in-depth molecular characterization, in a single MS/MS analytical run. Tandem mass spectrometry proteotyping is a valuable asset for culturomic programs as the methodology is able to quickly classify the most atypical isolates.

Abstract
The present study focuses on the use of a metaproteomic approach to analyze Black Extrinsic Tooth Stains, a specific type of pigmented extrinsic substance. Metaproteomics is a powerful emerging technology that successfully enabled human protein and bacterial identification of this specific dental biofilm using high-resolution tandem mass spectrometry. A total of 1600 bacterial proteins were identified in black stain (BS) samples and 2058 proteins in dental plaque (DP) samples, whereas 607 and 582 human proteins were identified in BS and DP samples, respectively. A large diversity of bacteria genera (142) in BS and DP was identified, showing a high prevalence of Rothia, Kingella, Neisseria, and Pseudopropionibacterium in black stain samples. In this work, the high diversity of the dental microbiota and its proteome is highlighted, including significant differences between black stain and dental plaque samples.

Peptide-Based Identification of Phytophthora Isolates and Phytophthora Detection in Planta. Int J Mol Sci 2020; 21:ijms21249463. [PMID: 33322721 PMCID: PMC7763169 DOI: 10.3390/ijms21249463] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/19/2020] [Revised: 12/09/2020] [Accepted: 12/09/2020] [Indexed: 12/31/2022] Open
Abstract
Phytophthora is arguably one of the most damaging genera of plant pathogens. This pathogen is well suited to transmission via the international plant trade, and globalization has been promoting its spread since the 19th century. Early detection is essential for reducing its economic and ecological impact. Here, a shotgun proteomics approach was utilized for Phytophthora analysis. The collection of 37 Phytophthora isolates representing 12 different species was screened for species-specific peptide patterns. Next, Phytophthora proteins were detected in planta, employing model plants Solanum tuberosum and Hordeum vulgare. Although the evolutionarily conserved sequences represented more than 10% of the host proteome and limited the pathogen detection, the comparison between qPCR and protein data highlighted more than 300 protein markers, which correlated positively with the amount of P. infestans DNA. Finally, the analysis of P. palmivora response in barley revealed significant alterations in plant metabolism. These changes included enzymes of cell wall metabolism, ROS production, and proteins involved in trafficking. The observed root-specific attenuation in stress-response mechanisms, including the biosynthesis of jasmonates, ethylene and polyamines, and an accumulation of serotonin, provided the first insight into molecular mechanisms behind this particular biotic interaction.

Petit PCM, Pible O, Eesbeeck VV, Alban C, Steinmetz G, Mysara M, Monsieurs P, Armengaud J, Rivasseau C. Direct Meta-Analyses Reveal Unexpected Microbial Life in the Highly Radioactive Water of an Operating Nuclear Reactor Core. Microorganisms 2020; 8:E1857. [PMID: 33255667 PMCID: PMC7760952 DOI: 10.3390/microorganisms8121857] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/21/2020] [Revised: 11/16/2020] [Accepted: 11/23/2020] [Indexed: 02/04/2023] Open
Abstract
The pools of nuclear reactor facilities constitute harsh environments for life, bathed with ionizing radiation, filled with demineralized water and containing toxic radioactive elements. The very few studies published to date have explored water pools used to store spent nuclear fuels. Due to access restrictions and strong handling constraints related to the high radioactivity level, nothing is presently known about life in water pools that directly cool nuclear cores. In this work, we investigated the microbial communities in the cooling pool of the French Osiris nuclear reactor using direct meta-omics approaches, namely, DNA metabarcoding and proteotyping based on 16S ribosomal RNA gene sequencing and on peptide analysis, respectively. We identified 25 genera in the highly radioactive core water supply during operation with radionuclide activity higher than 3 × 109 Bq/m3. The prevailing genera Variovorax and Sphingomonas at operation were supplanted by Methylobacterium, Asanoa, and Streptomyces during shutdown. Variovorax might use dihydrogen produced by water radiolysis as an energy source.
