  • Physiology of Dimethylsulfoniopropionate Metabolism
    PHYSIOLOGY OF DIMETHYLSULFONIOPROPIONATE METABOLISM IN A MODEL MARINE ROSEOBACTER, Silicibacter pomeroyi by JAMES R. HENRIKSEN (Under the direction of William B. Whitman) ABSTRACT Dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP) is a ubiquitous marine compound whose degradation is important in carbon and sulfur cycles and influences global climate due to its degradation product dimethyl sulfide (DMS). Silicibacter pomeroyi, a member of the a marine Roseobacter clade, is a model system for the study of DMSP degradation. S. pomeroyi can cleave DMSP to DMS and carry out demethylation to methanethiol (MeSH), as well as degrade both these compounds. Dif- ferential display proteomics was used to find proteins whose abundance increased when chemostat cultures of S. pomeroyi were grown with DMSP as the sole carbon source. Bioinformatic analysis of these genes and their gene clusters suggested roles in DMSP metabolism. A genetic system was developed for S. pomeroyi that enabled gene knockout to confirm the function of these genes.

    AQUATIC MICROBIAL ECOLOGY Vol. 41: 15–23, 2005 Published November 11 Aquat Microb Ecol Marine bacterial microdiversity as revealed by internal transcribed spacer analysis Mark V. Brown1, 2,*, Jed A. Fuhrman1 1Department of Biological Sciences and Wrigley Institute for Environmental Studies, University of Southern California, Los Angeles, California 90089-0371, USA 2Present address: NASA Astrobiology Institute, University of Hawaii, Honolulu, Hawaii 96822, USA ABSTRACT: A growing body of evidence suggests analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequences provides only a conservative estimate of the actual genetic diversity existing within microbial communities. We examined the less conserved internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region of the ribosomal operon to determine the impact microdiversity may have on our view of marine microbial consortia. Analysis of over 500 ITS sequences and 250 associated 16S rRNA gene sequences from an oceanic time series station in the San Pedro Channel, California, USA, revealed that the community in this region is com- posed of large numbers of distinct lineages, with more than 1000 lineages estimated from 3 clusters alone (the SAR11 clade, the Prochlorococcus low-B/A clade 1, and the Roseobacter NAC11-7 clade). Although we found no instances where divergent ITS sequences were associated with identical 16S rRNA gene sequences, the ITS region showed much greater pairwise divergence between clones. By comparison to our 16S rRNA gene–ITS region linked database, we were able to place all ITS sequences into a phylogenetic framework, allowing them to act as an alternative molecular marker with enhanced resolution. Comparison of SAR11 clade ITS sequences with those available in GenBank indicated phylogenetic groupings based not only on depth but also on geography, potentially indicating localized differentiation or adaptation.

Standards in Genomic Sciences 2014, 9:11 http://www.standardsingenomics.com/content/9/1/11 SHORT GENOME REPORT Open Access An Updated genome annotation for the model marine bacterium Ruegeria pomeroyi DSS-3 Adam R Rivers, Christa B Smith and Mary Ann Moran* Abstract When the genome of Ruegeria pomeroyi DSS-3 was published in 2004, it represented the first sequence from a heterotrophic marine bacterium. Over the last ten years, the strain has become a valuable model for understanding the cycling of sulfur and carbon in the ocean. To ensure that this genome remains useful, we have updated 69 genes to incorporate functional annotations based on new experimental data, and improved the identification of 120 protein-coding regions based on proteomic and transcriptomic data. We review the progress made in understanding the biology of R. pomeroyi DSS-3 and list the changes made to the genome.

ABSTRACT Aim. The nascent field of bio-geoengineering stands to benefit from synthetic bi- ologists' efforts to standardise, and in so doing democratise, biomolecular research methods. Roseobacter clade bacteria comprise 15–20% of oceanic bacterio-plankton communities, making them a prime candidate for establishment of synthetic biology chassis for bio-geoengineering activities such as bioremediation of oceanic waste plastic. Developments such as the increasing affordability of DNA synthesis and laboratory automation continue to foster the establishment of a global `do-it-yourself' research community alongside the more traditional arenas of academe and industry.

  • Bacterial Transcriptome Remodeling During Sequential Co-Culture with a Marine Dinoflagellate and Diatom
    The ISME Journal (2017) 11, 2677–2690 © 2017 International Society for Microbial Ecology All rights reserved 1751-7362/17 www.nature.com/ismej ORIGINAL ARTICLE Bacterial transcriptome remodeling during sequential co-culture with a marine dinoflagellate and diatom Marine Landa, Andrew S Burns2, Selena J Roth and Mary Ann Moran Department of Marine Sciences, University of Georgia, Athens, GA, USA In their role as primary producers, marine phytoplankton modulate heterotrophic bacterial activities through differences in the types and amounts of organic matter they release. This study investigates the transcriptional response of bacterium Ruegeria pomeroyi, a member of the Roseobacter clade known to affiliate with diverse phytoplankton groups in the ocean, during a shift in phytoplankton taxonomy. The bacterium was initially introduced into a culture of the dinoflagellate Alexandrium tamarense, and then experienced a change in phytoplankton community composition as the diatom Thalassiosira pseudonana gradually outcompeted the dinoflagellate. Samples were taken throughout the 30-day experiment to track shifts in bacterial gene expression informative of metabolic and ecological interactions. Transcriptome data indicate fundamental differences in the exometabolites released by the two phytoplankton. During growth with the dinoflagellate, gene expression patterns indicated that the main sources of carbon and energy for R. pomeroyi were dimethysulfoniopropio- nate (DMSP), taurine, methylated amines, and polyamines. During growth with the diatom, dihydroxypropanesulfonate (DHPS), xylose, ectoine, and glycolate instead appeared to fuel the bulk of bacterial metabolism. Expression patterns of genes for quorum sensing, gene transfer agent, and motility suggest that bacterial processes related to cell communication and signaling differed depending on which phytoplankton species dominated the co-culture.

Some studies indicate a common ancestry between DmdA and GcvT gene families and a co-evolution between Roseobacter and the DMSP- producing-phytoplankton around 250 million years ago (Mya). In this work, we analyzed the evolution of DmdA under three possible evolutionary scenarios: (1) a recent common ancestor of DmdA and GcvT, (2) a coevolution between Roseobacter and the DMSP-producing-phytoplankton, and (3) an enzymatic adaptation for utilizing DMSP in marine bacteria prior to Roseobacter origin. Our analyses indicate that DmdA is a new gene family originated from GcvT genes by duplication and Submitted 6 April 2020 functional divergence driven by positive selection before a coevolution between Accepted 12 August 2020 Roseobacter and phytoplankton. Our data suggest that Roseobacter acquired dmdA Published 10 September 2020 by horizontal gene transfer prior to an environment with higher DMSP.

  • Draft Genome Sequence of the Marine Rhodobacteraceae Strain O3.65
    Giebel et al. Standards in Genomic Sciences (2016) 11:81 DOI 10.1186/s40793-016-0201-7 EXTENDED GENOME REPORT Open Access Draft genome sequence of the marine Rhodobacteraceae strain O3.65, cultivated from oil-polluted seawater of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill Helge-Ansgar Giebel1*, Franziska Klotz1, Sonja Voget2, Anja Poehlein2, Katrin Grosser1, Andreas Teske3 and Thorsten Brinkhoff1 Abstract The marine alphaproteobacterium strain O3.65 was isolated from an enrichment culture of surface seawater contaminated with weathered oil (slicks) from the Deepwater Horizon (DWH) oil spill and belongs to the ubiquitous, diverse and ecological relevant Roseobacter group within the Rhodobacteraceae. Here, we present a preliminary set of physiological features of strain O3.65 and a description and annotation of its draft genome sequence. Based on our data we suggest potential ecological roles of the isolate in the degradation of crude oil within the network of the oil-enriched microbial community. The draft genome comprises 4,852,484 bp with 4,591 protein-coding genes and 63 RNA genes. Strain O3.65 utilizes pentoses, hexoses, disaccharides and amino acids as carbon and energy source and is able to grow on several hydroxylated and substituted aromatic compounds. Based on 16S rRNA gene comparison the closest described and validated strain is Phaeobacter inhibens DSM 17395, however, strain O3.65 is lacking several phenotypic and genomic characteristics specific for the genus Phaeobacter. Phylogenomic analyses based on the whole genome support extensive genetic exchange of strain O3.65 with members of the genus Ruegeria, potentially by using the secretion system type IV. Our physiological observations are consistent with the genomic and phylogenomic analyses and support that strain O3.65 is a novel species of a new genus within the Rhodobacteraceae.
