RESUMEN En este estudio se evaluó el perfil de expresión de proteínas de Tistlia consotensis bajo condiciones variables de salinidad (0 y 40 g·l-1 NaCl) empleando dos estrategias proteómicas. En la primera estrategia, se utilizó la técnica de electroforesis bidimensional para realizar un análisis cualitativo de la expresión de proteínas de T. consotensis bajo las salinidades evaluadas y posteriormente se realizó un estudio detallado utilizando una estrategia proteogenómica, que consistió en una anotación rápida de los genes cuyos productos se detectaron mediante espectrometría de masas. El análisis cualitativo de la expresión de proteínas de T. consotensis en respuesta a cambios en la salinidad del medio permitió determinar que esta bacteria halotolerante responde al estrés osmótico con cambios en los niveles de expresión de sus proteínas. Asimismo, el análisis del exoproteoma y del proteoma celular de T. consotensis, utilizando el enfoque proteogenómico, permitió la detección de proteínas específicas a 0 y 40 g·l-1 NaCl involucradas en los mecanismos de adaptación de T. consotensis bajo estrés hipo e hiper- osmótico a través de la comparación con el perfil de expresión en la condición de crecimiento a la salinidad óptima, 5 g·l-1 NaCl. En ausencia de sal, T. consotensis aumenta la producción de proteínas de estrés general y proteínas implicadas en la modulación de la composición de membrana celular. En respuesta a un incremento de la salinidad, T. consotensis aumenta la abundancia de proteínas involucradas con procesos de señalización, responsables de detectar eficientemente cambios en la concentración de Cl-, y proteínas relacionadas con diferentes tipo de sistemas de transporte encargados de acumular solutos compatibles y mantener el exceso de Na+ fuera de la célula. Este estudio proporcionó una visión detallada de la adaptación celular, en términos de perfiles proteómicos, a cambios en la salinidad externa en T. consotensis, sugiriendo que esta bacteria halotolerante combina diferentes estrategias novedosas para contrarrestar los cambios de salinidad en su hábitat. ABSTRACT In this study the protein expression profile of Tistlia consotensis under different salinities (0 to 40 g·l-1 NaCl) were evaluated using two proteomic strategies. In the first strategy, two- dimensional electrophoresis technique was used to perform a qualitative analysis of protein expression of T. consotensis under salinities evaluated and subsequently a detailed study was performed using proteogenomics strategy, which consisted of a quick annotation of genes whose products were detected by mass spectrometry. Qualitative analysis of protein expression of T. consotensis in response to changes in the salinity allowed determining that this halotolerant bacterium respond to osmotic stress with changes in the expression levels of proteins. Moreover, analysis of exoproteome and proteome cellular of T. consotensis, using the proteogenómico approach, allowed the detection of specific proteins to 0 and 40 g·l -1 NaCl involved in adaptation mechanisms of T. consotensis under hypo and hyperosmotic stress by comparison with the expression profile in the condition of the optimal growth salinity, 5 g·l-1 NaCl. In the absence of salt, T. consotensis increases the production of proteins of general stress and proteins involved in the modulation of cell membrane composition. In response to an increase of salinity, T. consotensis increases the abundance of proteins involved in signaling processes, responsible for efficiently detect changes in the concentration of Cl-, and proteins related to different types of transport systems responsible for accumulating compatible solutes and maintaining excess Na+ out of the cell. This study provided a detailed overview of cell adaptation, in terms of proteomic profiles, to changes in the external salinity in T. consotensis, suggesting that this halotolerant bacterium combines different innovative strategies to counteract changes in salinity in their habitat.

  • Halophilic Microorganisms Are Responsible for the Rosy Discolouration of Saline Environments in Three Historical Buildings with Mural Paintings
    Halophilic Microorganisms Are Responsible for the Rosy Discolouration of Saline Environments in Three Historical Buildings with Mural Paintings Jo¨ rg D. Ettenauer1*, Valme Jurado2, Guadalupe Pin˜ ar1, Ana Z. Miller2,3, Markus Santner4, Cesareo Saiz-Jimenez2, Katja Sterflinger1 1 VIBT-BOKU, University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences, Department of Biotechnology, Vienna, Austria, 2 Instituto de Recursos Naturales y Agrobiologia, IRNAS- CSIC, Sevilla, Spain, 3 CEPGIST/CERENA, Instituto Superior Te´cnico, Universidade de Lisboa, Lisboa, Portugal, 4 Bundesdenkmalamt, Abteilung fu¨r Konservierung und Restaurierung, Vienna, Austria Abstract A number of mural paintings and building materials from monuments located in central and south Europe are characterized by the presence of an intriguing rosy discolouration phenomenon. Although some similarities were observed among the bacterial and archaeal microbiota detected in these monuments, their origin and nature is still unknown. In order to get a complete overview of this biodeterioration process, we investigated the microbial communities in saline environments causing the rosy discolouration of mural paintings in three Austrian historical buildings using a combination of culture- dependent and -independent techniques as well as microscopic techniques. The bacterial communities were dominated by halophilic members of Actinobacteria, mainly of the genus Rubrobacter. Representatives of the Archaea were also detected with the predominating genera Halobacterium, Halococcus and Halalkalicoccus. Furthermore, halophilic bacterial strains, mainly of the phylum Firmicutes, could be retrieved from two monuments using special culture media. Inoculation of building materials (limestone and gypsum plaster) with selected isolates reproduced the unaesthetic rosy effect and biodeterioration in the laboratory.

Therefore, the understanding of AR mechanisms, evolution and global distribution is a priority due to its impact on the treatment course and patient survivability. Besides all efforts in the elucidation of AR mechanisms in clinical strains, little is known about its prevalence and evolution in environmental uncultivable microorganisms. In this study, 293 metagenomic from the TARA Oceans project were used to detect and quantify environmental antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) using machine learning tools. After extensive manual curation, we show the global ocean ARG abundance, distribution, taxonomy, phylogeny and their potential to be horizontally transferred by plasmids or viruses and their correlation with environmental and geographical parameters.

Quinn Li, Graduate School Representative ABSTRACT GEOMICROBIOLOGICAL STUDIES OF SALINE LAKES ON THE TIBETAN PLATEAU, NW CHINA: LINKING GEOLOGICAL AND MICROBIAL PROCESSES By Hongchen Jiang Lakes constitute an important part of the global ecosystem as habitats in these environments play an important role in biogeochemical cycles of life-essential elements. The cycles of carbon, nitrogen and sulfur in these ecosystems are intimately linked to global phenomena such as climate change. Microorganisms are at the base of the food chain in these environments and drive the cycling of carbon and nitrogen in water columns and the sediments. Despite many studies on microbial ecology of lake ecosystems, significant gaps exist in our knowledge of how microbial and geological processes interact with each other. In this dissertation, I have studied the ecology and biogeochemistry of lakes on the Tibetan Plateau, NW China. The Tibetan lakes are pristine and stable with multiple environmental gradients (among which are salinity, pH, and ammonia concentration). These characteristics allow an assessment of mutual interactions of microorganisms and geochemical conditions in these lakes. Two lakes were chosen for this project: Lake Chaka and Qinghai Lake. These two lakes have contrasting salinity and pH: slightly saline (12 g/L) and alkaline (9.3) for Qinghai Lake and hypersaline (325 g/L) but neutral pH (7.4) for Chaka Lake.
