  • A Web Tool for Hydrogenase Classification and Analysis Dan Søndergaard1, Christian N
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN HydDB: A web tool for hydrogenase classification and analysis Dan Søndergaard1, Christian N. S. Pedersen1 & Chris Greening2,3 H2 metabolism is proposed to be the most ancient and diverse mechanism of energy-conservation. The Received: 24 June 2016 metalloenzymes mediating this metabolism, hydrogenases, are encoded by over 60 microbial phyla Accepted: 09 September 2016 and are present in all major ecosystems. We developed a classification system and web tool, HydDB, Published: 27 September 2016 for the structural and functional analysis of these enzymes. We show that hydrogenase function can be predicted by primary sequence alone using an expanded classification scheme (comprising 29 [NiFe], 8 [FeFe], and 1 [Fe] hydrogenase classes) that defines 11 new classes with distinct biological functions. Using this scheme, we built a web tool that rapidly and reliably classifies hydrogenase primary sequences using a combination of k-nearest neighbors’ algorithms and CDD referencing. Demonstrating its capacity, the tool reliably predicted hydrogenase content and function in 12 newly-sequenced bacteria, archaea, and eukaryotes. HydDB provides the capacity to browse the amino acid sequences of 3248 annotated hydrogenase catalytic subunits and also contains a detailed repository of physiological, biochemical, and structural information about the 38 hydrogenase classes defined here. The database and classifier are freely and publicly available at http://services.birc.au.dk/hyddb/ Microorganisms conserve energy by metabolizing H2. Oxidation of this high-energy fuel yields electrons that can be used for respiration and carbon-fixation. This diffusible gas is also produced in diverse fermentation and 1 anaerobic respiratory processes . H2 metabolism contributes to the growth and survival of microorganisms across the three domains of life, including chemotrophs and phototrophs, lithotrophs and heterotrophs, aerobes and 1,2 anaerobes, mesophiles and extremophiles alike .

The hyperthermophilic, sulfate-reducing archaeon, Archaeoglobus fulgidus, utilizes CO as an energy source and it is resistant to the toxic effects of high CO concentrations. Herein, transcription profiles were obtained from A. fulgidus during growth with CO and sulfate or thiosulfate, or without an electron acceptor. This provided a basis for a model of the CO metabolism of A. fulgidus. The model suggests proton translocation by “Mitchell-type” loops facilitated by Fqo catalyzingred aFd :menaquinone oxidoreductase reaction, as the major mode of energy conservation, rather than formate or H2 cycling during respiratory growth. The bifunctional CODH (cdhAB-2) is predicted to play an ubiquitous role in the metabolism of CO, and a novel nitrate reductase- associated respiratory complex was induced specifically in the presence of sulfate. A potential role of this complex in relation to Fdred and APS reduction is discussed.

Despite the advances in our understanding of microbial ecology in the past decade, important questions remain regarding the link between microbial diversity and geochemical factors under these extreme conditions. This dissertation first investigates a series of hot springs with wide ranges of temperature (26-92oC) and pH (3.72-8.2) from the Tibetan Plateau in China and the Philippines. Within each region, microbial diversity and geochemical conditions were studied using an integrated approach with 16S rRNA molecular phylogeny and a suite of geochemical analyses. In Tibetan springs, the microbial community was dominated by archaeal phylum Thaumarchaeota

  • Exploring the Taxonomical and Functional Profile of As Burgas Hot Spring Focusing on Thermostable Β-Galactosidases
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Exploring the taxonomical and functional profle of As Burgas hot spring focusing on thermostable β‑galactosidases María‑Eugenia DeCastro1, Michael P. Doane2,4, Elizabeth Ann Dinsdale2,3, Esther Rodríguez‑Belmonte1 & María‑Isabel González‑Siso1* In the present study we investigate the microbial community inhabiting As Burgas geothermal spring, located in Ourense (Galicia, Spain). The approximately 23 Gbp of Illumina sequences generated for each replicate revealed a complex microbial community dominated by Bacteria in which Proteobacteria and Aquifcae were the two prevalent phyla. An association between the two most prevalent genera, Thermus and Hydrogenobacter, was suggested by the relationship of their metabolism. The high relative abundance of sequences involved in the Calvin–Benson cycle and the reductive TCA cycle unveils the dominance of an autotrophic population. Important pathways from the nitrogen and sulfur cycle are potentially taking place in As Burgas hot spring. In the assembled reads, two complete ORFs matching GH2 beta‑galactosidases were found. To assess their functional characterization, the two ORFs were cloned and overexpressed in E. coli. The pTsbg enzyme had activity towards o‑Nitrophenyl‑β‑d‑galactopyranoside (ONPG) and p‑Nitrophenyl‑ β‑d‑fucopyranoside, with high thermal stability and showing maximal activity at 85 °C and pH 6, nevertheless the enzyme failed to hydrolyze lactose. The other enzyme, Tsbg, was unable to hydrolyze even ONPG or lactose. This fnding highlights the challenge of fnding novel active enzymes based only on their sequence. Termophiles, growing optimally at temperatures over 55 °C, are found in hot environments such as fumaroles, hydrothermal vents, hot springs, or deserts1–4.

  • Novel Nitrite Reductase Domain Structure Suggests a Chimeric
    Novel nitrite reductase domain structure suggests a chimeric denitrification repertoire in Phylum Chloroflexi Sarah Schwartz1, Lily Momper1, L. Thiberio Rangel1, Cara Magnabosco2, Jan Amend3, and Gregory Fournier1 1Massachusetts Institute of Technology 2ETH Zurich 3University of Southern California June 11, 2021 Abstract Denitrification plays a central role in the global nitrogen cycle, reducing and removing nitrogen from marine and terrestrial ecosystems. The flux of nitrogen species through this pathway has a widespread impact, affecting ecological carrying capacity, agriculture, and climate. Nitrite reductase (Nir) and nitric oxide reductase (NOR) are the two central enzymes in this pathway. Here we present a previously unreported Nir domain architecture in members of Phylum Chloroflexi. Phylogenetic analyses of protein domains within Nir indicate that an ancestral horizontal transfer and fusion event produced this chimeric domain architecture. We also identify an expanded genomic diversity of a rarely reported nitric oxide reductase subtype, eNOR. Together, these results suggest a greater diversity of denitrification enzyme arrangements exist than have been previously reported.

E. Wilkins1,2, Cassandra L. Ettinger 2, Guillaume Jospin2 & Jonathan A. Eisen 2,3,4 Culture-independent methods have contributed substantially to our understanding of global microbial diversity. Recently developed algorithms to construct whole genomes from environmental samples have further refned, corrected and revolutionized understanding of the tree of life. Here, we assembled draft metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) from environmental DNA extracted from two hot springs within an active volcanic ecosystem on the Kamchatka peninsula, Russia. This hydrothermal system has been intensively studied previously with regard to geochemistry, chemoautotrophy, microbial isolation, and microbial diversity. We assembled genomes of bacteria and archaea using DNA that had previously been characterized via 16S rRNA gene clone libraries. We recovered 36 MAGs, 29 of medium to high quality, and inferred their placement in a phylogenetic tree consisting of 3,240 publicly available microbial genomes. We highlight MAGs that were taxonomically assigned to groups previously underrepresented in available genome data. This includes several archaea (Korarchaeota, Bathyarchaeota and Aciduliprofundum) and one potentially new species within the bacterial genus Sulfurihydrogenibium. Putative functions in both pools were compared and are discussed in the context of their diverging geochemistry. This study adds comprehensive information about phylogenetic diversity and functional potential within two hot springs in the caldera of Kamchatka. Terrestrial hydrothermal systems are of great interest to the general public and to scientists alike due to their unique and extreme conditions.
