Signature: Date: Details of collaboration: ii SUMMARY Oral malodorous gases such as hydrogen sulfide and methanethiol are positively associated with plaque-induced periodontal diseases. It is well known that these Volatile Sulfur Compounds (VSCs) are produced by the oral microbiota during proteolysis, and the specific association of methanethiol in the breath with periodontal diseases was investigated in a clinical study described in this thesis. The association between breath methanethiol and clinical parameters of disease, abundance and prevalence of putative peridontopathic bacteria in periodontal niches were confirmed. A gas chromatographic method was developed to measure subgingival VSCs and associations with clinical parameters, microbial abundance in a range of oral niches and inflammatory markers in saliva and gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) were found. Breath methanethiol was also found to be more closely associated with a range of disease associated inflammatory markers in GCF. Tongue biofilm, subgingival and interdental plaque samples were analysed by Human Oral Microbiome Identification by Next Generation Sequencing (HOMINGS) methodology. Microbial diversity in the tongue was positively associated with breath VSCs in health, but subgingival and interdental niche diversity was more strongly associated with breath VSCs in gingivitis and chronic periodontitis. Tongue ecology in the disease associated cohorts was markedly different compared to health, especially with the increase in abundance and prevalence of putative VSC producing species. The ecology of VSC producing bacteria is described for the niches studied, finding that the methanethiol producing species are almost exclusively periodontopathic, with more dynamic population differences in these group of organisms observed from health to disease. The VSC producing potential in the periodontal niches was also found to be more dynamic compared to the tongue. The role of methanethiol production by the keystone species, P. gingivalis was investigated using a 10-species biofilm co-culture model by substituting a methionine gamma lyase (mgl) deficient strain for the wild type and marked changes in the overall biofilm composition was observed in terms of community evenness and biomass. The wild type biofilm displayed a more insidious phenotype whereas the higher biomass mutant biofilm exhibited an overtly pathogenic phenotype. P. gingivalis mgl is proposed as a potential keystone virulence factor. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I’m so glad to have seen the other end of this project and I count myself as lucky to have been part of it. Firstly, I would like to thank my academic supervisor Prof. Robert Allaker. Thanks for the freedom, encouragement and thanks for looking out for me. Without your support and assurance it would have been an impossibly uphill task given that I came fresh to this subject and didn’t know a whole lot about a lot of the things I got involved with, in this project. I would say your professional and personal guidance throughout the duration of the project has made me all round, a better person and scientist. I would also like to thank two great people who have been a source of wisdom and inspiration throughout this project. Dr. David Bradshaw and Dr. Gary Burnett: you guys have been great sport during the project meetings, and I learned a lot from you two, especially the confidence to do things I could only dream of attempting. Thanks for that impetus. I would like to thank my colleagues at QMUL: Cecilia for helping me get up to speed on a lot of things at the start of the project, Joe for being such a star in every way, Kaveh for being a good friend and looking out for me, and of course Dr. David Gillam for being an absolute rock from the clinical side. I would like to thank the very special dentists I worked with who helped collect the clinical samples, Narinder, Vam and Bryar, your help is much appreciated. I would also like to thank all the folk at CDOS who I don’t have the space to name individually for making the whole experience of this project memorable. I had a lot of great experiences during this project, and one was driving from Glasgow to Inverness in my 944 via the stunning A82 and I would like to thank Prof. Gordon Ramage for helping to make that happen. I will never forget that journey. Thanks also to the crew at Glasgow Dental School for being so warm and accommodating—Leighann, Emma, Chris, David and namma ooru Ranjith. A special mention to GSK who have made a positive impact in the project development by helping establish the collaboration with Glasgow and also in doing some extra sample analyses that have inspired me and helped me to gain a real appreciation of my subject. I would like to thank my parents, sister, uncle and aunt for accommodating me during my studies and for being sources of great strength during tough times. Finally, thanks to my loving wife Chrisma, for putting up with me constantly writing and completely ignoring everything else and for looking out for my general wellbeing. iv CONTENTS 1 INTRODUCTION ........................................................................................................ 1 1.1 ETIOPATHOGENESIS OF PERIODONTAL DISEASES ...................................................... 1 1.1.1 Initial lesion ..................................................................................................... 2 1.1.2 Early Lesion ..................................................................................................... 3 1.1.3 Established Lesion ........................................................................................... 3 1.1.4 Advanced Lesion .............................................................................................. 4 1.2 MICROBIAL ROLE IN PERIODONTITIS ........................................................................ 5 1.2.1 Microbial models of plaque-induced chronic periodontitis ............................. 6 1.3 ROLE OF THE HOST IMMUNE RESPONSE IN PERIODONTITIS ...................................... 10 1.3.1 The TH1-TH2-TH17 Paradigm ......................................................................... 12 1.4 VOLATILE SULFUR COMPOUNDS IN PERIODONTAL DISEASE .................................... 17 1.4.1 VSCs in the periodontal pocket ...................................................................... 18 1.4.2 VSCs and microbial ecology .......................................................................... 19 1.4.3 Effect of VSCs on host response ..................................................................... 20 1.5 PROJECT AIMS ........................................................................................................ 22 2 MATERIALS AND METHODS .............................................................................. 23 2.1 STUDY DESIGN AND CLINICAL PROTOCOL ............................................................... 23 2.1.1 Inclusion and exclusion criteria. .................................................................... 23 2.1.2 Clinical protocol ...........................................................................................

  • Mycoplasma Pneumoniae Terminal Organelle
    MYCOPLASMA PNEUMONIAE TERMINAL ORGANELLE DEVELOPMENT AND GLIDING MOTILITY by BENJAMIN MICHAEL HASSELBRING (Under the Direction of Duncan Charles Krause) ABSTRACT With a minimal genome containing less than 700 open reading frames and a cell volume < 10% of that of model prokaryotes, Mycoplasma pneumoniae is considered among the smallest and simplest organisms capable of self-replication. And yet, this unique wall-less bacterium exhibits a remarkable level of cellular complexity with a dynamic cytoskeleton and a morphological asymmetry highlighted by a polar, membrane-bound terminal organelle containing an elaborate macromolecular core. The M. pneumoniae terminal organelle functions in distinct, and seemingly disparate cellular processes that include cytadherence, cell division, and presumably gliding motility, as individual cells translocate over surfaces with the cell pole harboring the structure engaged as the leading end. While recent years have witnessed a dramatic increase in the knowledge of protein interactions required for core stability and adhesin trafficking, the mechanism of M. pneumoniae gliding has not been defined nor have interdependencies between the various terminal organelle functions been assessed. The studies presented in the current volume describe the first genetic and molecular investigations into the location, components, architecture, and regulation of the M. pneumoniae gliding machinery. The data indicate that cytadherence and gliding motility are separable properties, and identify a subset of M. pneumoniae proteins contributing directly to the latter process. Characterizations of novel gliding-deficient mutants confirm that the terminal organelle contains the molecular gliding machinery, revealing that with the loss of a single terminal organelle cytoskeletal element, protein P41, terminal organelles detach from the cell body but retain gliding function.

Toutefois, peu d’études ont analysé le rôle des bactéries sur la spéciation. Il a été démontré que le microbiote oriente la spéciation de son hôte. L’objectif principal de cette thèse est d’évaluer l’influence des bactéries sur la spéciation du grand corégone (Coregonus clupeaformis). Sous certaines conditions, il existe deux espèces de corégone qui ont évolué de façon parallèle ; l’espèce naine et l’espèce normale qui sont caractérisées par des niches trophique et écologique différentes. Plusieurs types d’interaction hôte-bactéries ont été analysés au niveau de populations de corégones sauvages et de corégones captifs, qui ont été élevés dans des conditions identiques. Chez les corégones sauvages, les résultats supportent un effet de parallélisme au niveau de la diversité bactérienne, mais cet effet n’a pas été observé au niveau de la structure des communautés bactériennes entre l’espèce naine et normale. La présence d’un noyau bactérien très conservé au niveau du microbiote intestinal démontre une influence marquée de l'hôte sur ses communautés bactériennes. L’ensemble de ces résultats soulignent la complexité de l'holobionte (hôte + bactéries) en démontrant que la direction de sélection peut différer entre l'hôte et son microbiote.
