Understanding the Rumen Microbiome reach approximately 9.7 billion by 2050, an increase in ruminant production to satisfy global protein demand is necessary, despite limited land availability, and whilst ensuring environmental impact is minimized. Although challenging, these goals can be met, but depend on our understanding of the rumen microbiome. Attempts to manipulate the rumen microbiome to benefit global agricultural challenges have been ongoing for decades with limited success, mostly due to the lack of a detailed understanding of this microbiome and our limited ability to culture most of these microbes outside the rumen. The potential to manipulate the rumen microbiome and meet global livestock challenges through animal breeding and introduction of dietary interventions during early life have recently emerged as promising new technologies. Our inability to phenotype ruminants in a high-throughput manner has also hampered progress, although the recent increase in “omic” data may allow further development of mathematical models and rumen microbial gene biomarkers as proxies. Advances in computational tools, high-throughput sequencing technologies and cultivation-independent “omics” approaches continue to revolutionize our understanding of the rumen microbiome. This will ultimately provide the knowledge framework needed to solve current and future ruminant livestock challenges.

Accepted 4 November, 2011 Our knowledge of the diversity and role of hydrothermal vents microorganisms has considerably expanded over the past decade, while little is known about the diversity of microorganisms in low-temperature hydrothermal sulfide chimney. In this study, denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) and 16S rDNA sequencing were used to examine the abundance and diversity of microorganisms from the exterior to the interior of the deep sea low-temperature hydrothermal sulfide chimney of the Northeastern Pacific Ocean. DGGE profiles revealed that both bacteria and archaea could be examined in all three zones of the chimney wall and the compositions of microbial communities within different zones were vastly different. Overall, for archaea, cell abundance was greatest in the outermost zone of the chimney wall. For bacteria, there was no significant difference in cell abundance among three zones. In addition, phylogenetic analysis revealed that Verrucomicrobia and Deltaproteobacteria were the predominant bacterial members in exterior zone, beta Proteobacteria were the dominant members in middle zone, and Bacillus were the abundant microorganisms in interior zone.

Indeed, some archaea colonizing the human microbiota have been implicated in diseases such as periodontopathy. Archaea are characterized by their broad-spectrum resistance to antimicrobial agents. In particular, their cell wall lacks peptidoglycan, making them resistant to antimicrobial agents interfering with peptidoglycan biosynthesis. Archaea are, however, susceptible to the pro- tein synthesis inhibitor fusidic acid and imidazole derivatives. Also, squalamine, an antimicrobial agent acting on the cell wall, proved effective against human methanogenic archaea. In vitro susceptibility data could be used to design protocols for the decontamination of complex microbiota and the selective isolation of archaea in anaerobic culture.

  • Genome-Scale Fitness Profile of Caulobacter Crescentus Grown in Natural Freshwater
    Supplemental Material Genome-scale fitness profile of Caulobacter crescentus grown in natural freshwater Kristy L. Hentchel, Leila M. Reyes Ruiz, Aretha Fiebig, Patrick D. Curtis, Maureen L. Coleman, Sean Crosson Tn5 and Tn-Himar: comparing gene essentiality and the effects of gene disruption on fitness across studies A previous analysis of a highly saturated Caulobacter Tn5 transposon library revealed a set of genes that are required for growth in complex PYE medium [1]; approximately 14% of genes in the genome were deemed essential. The total genome insertion coverage was lower in the Himar library described here than in the Tn5 dataset of Christen et al (2011), as Tn-Himar inserts specifically into TA dinucleotide sites (with 67% GC content, TA sites are relatively limited in the Caulobacter genome). Genes for which we failed to detect Tn-Himar insertions (Table S13) were largely consistent with essential genes reported by Christen et al [1], with exceptions likely due to differential coverage of Tn5 versus Tn-Himar mutagenesis and differences in metrics used to define essentiality. A comparison of the essential genes defined by Christen et al and by our Tn5-seq and Tn-Himar fitness studies is presented in Table S4. We have uncovered evidence for gene disruptions that both enhanced or reduced strain fitness in lake water and M2X relative to PYE. Such results are consistent for a number of genes across both the Tn5 and Tn-Himar datasets. Disruption of genes encoding three metabolic enzymes, a class C β-lactamase family protein (CCNA_00255), transaldolase (CCNA_03729), and methylcrotonyl-CoA carboxylase (CCNA_02250), enhanced Caulobacter fitness in Lake Michigan water relative to PYE using both Tn5 and Tn-Himar approaches (Table S7).

These microbes and their exotic metabolism have inspired decades of microbial physiology research that continues to push the boundary of what we know about how microbes conserve energy to grow. The study of methanogens has helped to elucidate the thermodynamic and bioener- getics basis of life, contributed our understanding of evolution and biodiversity, and has garnered an appreciation for the societal utility of studying trophic interactions between environmental microbes, as methanogens are important in microbial conversion of biogenic carbon into methane, a high-energy fuel.

  • Carbonate-Hosted Methanotrophy Represents an Unrecognized Methane Sink in the Deep Sea
    ARTICLE Received 24 Mar 2014 | Accepted 28 Aug 2014 | Published 14 Oct 2014 DOI: 10.1038/ncomms6094 Carbonate-hosted methanotrophy represents an unrecognized methane sink in the deep sea Jeffrey J. Marlow1, Joshua A. Steele1, Wiebke Ziebis2, Andrew R. Thurber3, Lisa A. Levin4 & Victoria J. Orphan1 The atmospheric flux of methane from the oceans is largely mitigated through microbially mediated sulphate-coupled methane oxidation, resulting in the precipitation of authigenic carbonates. Deep-sea carbonates are common around active and palaeo-methane seepage, and have primarily been viewed as passive recorders of methane oxidation; their role as active and unique microbial habitats capable of continued methane consumption has not been examined. Here we show that seep-associated carbonates harbour active microbial communities, serving as dynamic methane sinks. Microbial aggregate abundance within the carbonate interior exceeds that of seep sediments, and molecular diversity surveys reveal methanotrophic communities within protolithic nodules and well-lithified carbonate pavements. Aggregations of microbial cells within the carbonate matrix actively oxidize 14 methane as indicated by stable isotope FISH–nanoSIMS experiments and CH4 radiotracer rate measurements. Carbonate-hosted methanotrophy extends the known ecological niche of these important methane consumers and represents a previously unrecognized methane sink that warrants consideration in global methane budgets. 1 Division of Geological and Planetary Sciences, California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, California 91125, USA. 2 Department of Biological Science, University of Southern California, Los Angeles, California 90089, USA. 3 College of Earth, Ocean, and Atmospheric Sciences, Oregon State University, Corvallis, Oregon 97331, USA. 4 Center for Marine Biodiversity and Conservation, Integrative Oceanography Division, Scripps Institution of Oceanography, University of California–San Diego, La Jolla, California 92037, USA.

    The Open Geology Journal, 2011, 5, 75-83 75 Open Access Microbial Processes and Natural Gas Accumulations Barry Jay Katz* Chevron Energy Technology Company, 1500 Louisiana Street, Houston, TX 77002, USA Abstract: Microbial processes are responsible for the formation, alteration, and destruction of some natural gas accumulations. Individual microbial gas accumulations may be significant (> 1 Tcf; trillion cubic feet or 28.3 billion cubic meters) and collectively account for more than 20% of the global gas resource-base, dominating in some individual basins. Often cited resource estimates do not effectively account for the contribution of microbial gas to mixed biogenic- thermogenic gases nor do these estimates fully account for secondary microbial gas. Microbial gas accumulations form through multiple stages, initiating with the breakdown of large macromolecules into smaller components that the methanogens can effectively utilize as an energy source. There are two primary methanogenic pathways, acetate fermentation and CO2 reduction, both of which may utilize sedimentary organic matter or preexisting oil accumulations as a source. Microbial gas is typically considered dry (i.e., depleted in C2+ components), but there is clear evidence that ethane and possibly propane may also form through microbial processes. Numerous authors have provided guidance on the conditions that favor primary microbial gas formation and accumulation including: an anoxic setting, high rates of sedimentation, formation of early traps, low temperatures, favorable migration history, and limited availability of sulfate. Scenarios conducive with secondary microbial gas accumulations have also been discussed. These include the presence of a significant oil pool that can be biodegraded or a coal or organic-rich shale that has achieved thermal maturity levels approaching or beyond the top of the oil-window, which have been uplifted, fractured, and invaded by meteoric water to reintroduce a microbial population.
