Vogel. I thank you Tim for being one of my best university lecturer. I am grateful to you for telling me about this project on atmospheric microbial communities. Thank you Cath and Aurélien for being supporting and trusting me. I loved discussing with you three about my work, I thank you for everything I learnt from you. These three years have been intense and the PhD a real training work where I developed many skills. I really appreciated to have the opportunity to teach at the University of Lyon 1, to supervise a master student (Myriam Spajer), to do oral and poster presentations in international conferences and to develop English oral and written skills. I would like to thank the members of my annual comities, i.e. Pierre Amato (Institut de Chimie de Clermont-Ferrand), Barbara d’Anna (LCE de Marseille), Alexandre Poulain (University of Ottawa) and Eric Bapteste (IBPS de Paris) for having accepted to discuss about my work and for giving me advices. I thank the members of my PhD jury, Jean Martins (IGE Grenoble), Barbara d’Anna, Pierre Amato, Andrea Franzetti (University of Milano, Italy) and Viviane Després (Max Planck Institute for Chemistry in Mainz, Germany) for having accepted to evaluate my work. I thank the Région Auvergne-Rhône Alpes for having financed my PhD. I thank the team of the IGE in Grenoble for having welcomed me. I thank particularly Jean-Luc Jaffrezo, Jean Martins and the PhD student Abdoulaye for our discussions on atmospheric chemistry and atmospheric microorganisms. It was nice to be in regular contact with you Abdoulaye. I could really not have hoped for better coworkers at the Laboratoire Ampère, Ecole Centrale de Lyon: Mia, Concepcion, Rose, Benoît, Arthur and Adrien (all PhD students) as well as Christoph, Cécile, Graeme, Christina, Laure and Pascal. It was so nice to work with you and I would like to keep you all and bring you with me to my next lab. To PhD students: it was really nice to share this PhD experience with you, you were a real every day motivation and by far an important element that made my PhD succeed. I would like to thank particularly Mia: we spent so much time together in the lab during these three years, your presence was so motivating and reassuring, you helped me a lot. It was really nice to meet Nora from Innsbruck and Frederik from Copenhagen, both PhD students invited in our lab. We also spent good times in conferences. I thank Laurent Pouilloux, a competent and nice computer scientist from the ECL, for helping me on some of my scripts and for always answering me rapidly when I got computing problems. I will finish by thanking my family as well as my life partner Robin who made big concessions to be at my sides in Lyon and gave me endless support. 2 3 “All models are wrong, but some are useful.” George Box, statistician at the University of Wisconsin 4 5 Résumé (French) La couche limite planétaire est la couche atmosphérique la plus basse qui est en interaction directe et constante avec les surfaces terrestres et marines sur lesquelles se concentrent les activités humaines, les cultures et divers écosystèmes. Comprendre l’origine de sa composition à la fois chimique et microbiologique est fondamental dans notre étude approfondie de la biosphère. Alors que les microorganismes de la couche limite planétaire – retrouvés jusqu’à 106 cellules par mètre cube d’air – semblent varier significativement à l’échelle spatiale et temporelle en termes de concentration et de diversité, ils restent largement méconnus. L’objectif principal de cette thèse est de comprendre comment se structurent les communautés microbiennes dans la troposphère, et en particulier dans la couche limite planétaire, ainsi que d’identifier les facteurs de contrôle majeurs. En travaillant sur des échantillons collectés pendant plusieurs semaines sur neuf sites répartis sur la planète, et en utilisant les technologies de séquençage ADN haut-débit, nous avons étudié la composition taxonomique et fonctionnelle des communautés microbiennes de la phase gazeuse et solide de l’atmosphère (c’est-à-dire non associés aux nuages). Nos premiers résultats sur la taxonomie des communautés microbiennes révèlent que les surfaces proches des sites sont les contributeurs principaux de distribution des communautés microbiennes atmosphériques, malgré l’occurrence potentielle du transport longue-distance des microorganismes atmosphériques. Egalement, les conditions météorologiques combinées à la diversité des surfaces locales terrestres ou océaniques jouent un rôle important dans la variation temporelle de la structure des communautés microbiennes de la couche limite planétaire. Une deuxième étude nous a permis d’étudier davantage la variation temporelle des communautés microbiennes atmosphériques sur un site continental montagneux en France (1465 m d’altitude) sur une année complète. Cette étude révèle l’importance des conditions de surface des paysages aux alentours dans la composition taxonomique des communautés atmosphériques.

The class Proteobacteria is phylogenetically comprised of alpha, beta, gamma, delta and epsilon subclasses; furthermore, each subclass is divided into several clusters corresponding to orders or families (19). Methylobacterium, Methylosinus, and Methylocystis belong to the alpha-2 subclass (12, 21). Methylo- bacillus, Methylophilus, and Methylovorus are located in the beta subclass (12). Methylococcus, Methylobacter, Methylomicrobium, and Methylomonas are the mem- bers of the family Methylococcaceae of the gamma subclass (1,12). The phylo- genetic position of Methylophaga within the Proteobacteria, however, is still not clear. A methanol oxidizer, Ancylobacter aquaticus was confirmed as belonging to the alpha subclass (22). Non-methane-, non-methanol-, and methylamine-utilizing proteobacteria; a genus, Aminobacter, and three species, A. aminovorans, A. agano- ensis, and A. niigataensis, probably belong to the alpha subclass (20). A study of a non-methane-, methanol-, and methylamine-utilizing, budding proteobacterium, Hyphomicrobium, belonging to the alpha subclass, was published recently (23).

  • Identification of Dimethylamine Monooxygenase in Marine Bacteria Reveals a Metabolic Bottleneck in the Methylated Amine Degradation Pathway
    OPEN The ISME Journal (2017) 11, 1592–1601 www.nature.com/ismej ORIGINAL ARTICLE Identification of dimethylamine monooxygenase in marine bacteria reveals a metabolic bottleneck in the methylated amine degradation pathway Ian Lidbury1, Michaela A Mausz1, David J Scanlan and Yin Chen School of Life Sciences, Gibbet Hill Campus, University of Warwick, Coventry, UK Methylated amines (MAs) are ubiquitous in the marine environment and their subsequent flux into the atmosphere can result in the formation of aerosols and ultimately cloud condensation nuclei. Therefore, these compounds have a potentially important role in climate regulation. Using Ruegeria pomeroyi as a model, we identified the genes encoding dimethylamine (DMA) monooxygenase (dmmABC) and demonstrate that this enzyme degrades DMA to monomethylamine (MMA). Although only dmmABC are required for enzyme activity in recombinant Escherichia coli, we found that an additional gene, dmmD, was required for the growth of R. pomeroyi on MAs. The dmmDABC genes are absent from the genomes of multiple marine bacteria, including all representatives of the cosmopolitan SAR11 clade. Consequently, the abundance of dmmDABC in marine metagenomes was substantially lower than the genes required for other metabolic steps of the MA degradation pathway. Thus, there is a genetic and potential metabolic bottleneck in the marine MA degradation pathway. Our data provide an explanation for the observation that DMA-derived secondary organic aerosols (SOAs) are among the most abundant SOAs detected in fine marine particles over the North and Tropical Atlantic Ocean.
