Understanding Life in Extreme Environments; from a Single Colony to Million Sequences Understanding Life in Extreme Environments; from a single colony to million sequences Avinash Sharma (PhD) [email protected] Wellcome Trust-DBT India Alliance Fellow Microorganisms are everywhere Source:www.microbiomesupport.eu What are they? Microbes living where nothing else can Why are they are interesting? Medicine, Environment, Human Gut, Agriculture, Food etc Why we need to study Extreme Environments • Microorganisms represent the most important and diverse group of organisms • Widely distributed in many environmental habitats • Important for ecosystems functioning • Diversity and structure of complex microbial communities still poorly understood • Great challenge in microbial ecology to evaluate microbial diversity in complex environments Woese and Fox, 1977 Introduction to Extremophiles What are they? Microbes living where nothing else can How do they survive? Why are they are interesting? Extremophiles are well know for their enzymes Why enzymes from extremophiles…? Stabilty even at extreme conditions Life in Extreme Environments • Many organisms adapt to extreme environments – Thermophiles (liking heat) – Acidophiles (liking acidic environments) – Psychrophiles (liking cold) – Halophiles (liking salty environments) • Demonstrates that life flourishes even in the harshest of locations Categories of Extremophiles Environmental factor Category Definition Major microbial habitat Temperature Hyperthermophile, Opt. growth at > 80°C Hot springs and vents, sub-surface. Thermophile < 15°C ice, deep-ocean, arctic Psychrophile Salinity Halophile 2-5M NaCl. Salt lakes, solar salterns, brines. Pressure Peizophile (Barophile) <1000atm Deep sea eg. Mariana Trench, sub- surface pH Low Acidophile pH < 2 acidic hot springs High Alkaliphile pH > 10 soda lakes, deserts Oxygen No Anaerobe (Anoxiphile) cannot tolerate O2 sediments, sub-surface High high O2 tention? sub-glacial lakes. Radiation Radioresistant Soil contaminated areas Toxic heavy metals Metallophiles tolerate heavy metals Contaminated areas Low nutrition Oligotrophs Lakes Inert substrates CH4 oxidizers, hydrocarbons etc. Soil, water etc. Microbial Identification Methods • Morphological and microscopic features – Colony morphology, cell shape and size, staining etc. • Biochemical features – Catalase, Oxidase, Indole, Citrate, Urease, Sugar fermentation, etc. • Molecular features – Nucleic acids (DNA and RNA), fatty acids, proteins, etc. 16S rRNA Gene Sequencing • Most common housekeeping genetic marker used for a number of reasons – Its presence in almost all bacteria – Large enough for informatics purposes ( ̴1500 bp) – No change in the function • 1980 in the Approved Lists, 1,791 valid names • Today, this number has ballooned to >16000 Unknown microbial diversity The GreatThe Plate Great Count Plate Count Anomaly Anomaly Sequencing technologies • First generation: -Maxam- Gilbert method -Sanger’s Dideoxy method • Next Generation: - Roche 454 - SOLiD by ABI - Genome Analyzer/ Hiseq by Illumina • Compact PGM Sequencer - Ion Torrent - Miseq by Illumina • Third Generation: - SMRT by Pacific Bioscience - Nanopore by University of ILLINOIS DNA sequencing technologies ideally should be 1. Fast 2. Accurate 3. Easy-to-operate 4. Cost effective DNA sequencing: Importance • Basic blueprint for life; Aesthetics. • Gene and protein – Function – Structure – Evolution • Genome-based diseases- “inborn errors of metabolism” – Genetic disorders – Genetic predispositions to infection – Diagnostics – Therapies Evolution of Sequencing • Remarkable improvement in sequencing efficiency since inception • The amount of sequencing that one person can perform has increased dramatically – 1980: 0.1– 1 kb per year – 1985: 2–10 kb per year – 1990: 25–50 kb per year – 1996: 100–200 kb per year – 2000: 500–1,000 kb per year --2020: ~ 300-1000 Gb per day Cost of sequencing technologies over the years I have enough of sequencing data ..Whats next ?

Miteva ID 83209, USA [email protected] 2Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Pennsylvania State University, University Park, PA 16802, USA A novel, psychrophilic, Gram-positive bacterium (designated strain LV3T) from a lake near the McMurdo Ice Shelf, Antarctica, has been isolated and characterized. This organism formed red-pigmented colonies, had an optimal growth temperature of 18 ˚C and grew on a variety of media between ”2 and 21 ˚C. Scanning electron micrographs of strain LV3T that showed small rods with unusual bulbous protuberances during all phases of growth were of particular interest. The G+C content of the genomic DNA was approximately 62 mol%. The cell walls contained ornithine as the diamino acid. The major fatty acids were anteiso-C15 : 0, iso-C16 : 0 and anteiso-C17 : 0. Cells grown at ”2 ˚C contained significant amounts of anteiso-C15 : 1. The major menaquinones found in strain LV3T were MK-11 and MK-12. Phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence indicated that strain LV3T was a member of the family Microbacteriaceae and related to, but distinct from, organisms belonging to the genera Agreia, Leifsonia and Subtercola.In addition, alignments of 16S rRNA sequences showed that the sequence of strain LV3T contained a 13 bp insertion that was found in only a few related sequences.

After DNA extraction and the creation of a plasmid library, 153 partial length Keywords: 16S rRNA gene clones were sequenced and analyzed phylogenetically. Over 80% of these clones were Nitrite affiliated with the Proteobacteria, and grouped with the b- (114 clones), - (7 clones), and -classes (2 Ammonia-oxidizing bacteria c a Nitrosomonas clones). The remaining clones were affiliated with the Acidobacteria (1 clone), Actinobacteria (8 clones), Activated sludge Bacteroidetes (16 clones), and Verrucomicrobia (5 clones). The majority of the clones belonged to the genus 16S rRNA gene Nitrosomonas, while other clones affiliated with microorganisms previously identified as having floc forming or psychrotolerance characteristics.

However, the knowledge of culturable bacterial communities found in this extreme ecotope’s soil is yet insufficient. Therefore, our research has been aimed to fulfil this lack of knowledge and improve the understanding of functioning of edaphic bacterial communities of the Central Mojave Desert soil. We characterized aerobic heterotrophic soil bacterial communities of the central region of the Mojave Desert. A high total number of prokaryotic cells and a high proportion of culturable forms in the soil studied were observed. Prevalence of Actinobacteria, Proteobacteria, and Firmicutes was discovered. The dominance of pigmented strains in culturable communities and high proportion of thermotolerant and pH-tolerant bacteria were detected. Resistance to a number of salts, including the ones found in Martian regolith, as well as antibiotic resistance, were also estimated.
