Method Development for the in Situ Screening of Uncultivable Bacteria for Antibiotic Production Method Development for the in situ Screening of Uncultivable Bacteria for Antibiotic Production Daniel Blicher Holst Hansen Department of Life Sciences, Imperial College London A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy December 2018 1 Acknowledgements I would like to thank my two supervisors Harry Low and Martin Buck for their continued guidance and support during the past three years. Your guidance made me a better scientist and gave me a skill set that I hope to use for the rest of my professional career - and for that I am deeply grateful. Also thank you to my two examiners Dr Thomas Bell and Dr Mark Paget. I hope you enjoy reading my thesis. I would like to acknowledge the students I have supervised during my studies. Thank you, Belen Sola Barrado, for your help, especially in developing a M. smegmatis luminescence strain. Thank you to Bernard Cassar Torreggiani and Daniel Corredera Nadal for your help screening for novel antibiotic producers. Finally, a special thank you to Andrew Morrison, who on multiple occasions went above and beyond on a project that needed all the hands it could get. Andrew’s biggest contributions included helping me develop the B. subtilis reporter strains and optimising the microscopy images. The facility managers involved in this project also deserve recognition and gratitude. This includes Jane, Catherine, and Jess in flow cytometry and Paul Brown from physics. Steve Nelson and Stephen Rothery both contributed with unique skill sets that would have been hard to be without. I am as always grateful to my family for their continued support, without which this would not have been possible: my mum, dad, brother and sisters, especially. In that regard, I would like to tell Dagmar Scholes and Sönke Mehrgardt that I truly appreciate their help and the degree to which they made me feel part of the family. I would also like to tell all my colleagues at Imperial College London how much I appreciated their help and support. This is especially true of Eli Cohen, Cian Duggan, Josie Ferreira, and, of course, Olga Bohuszewicz. I am grateful to the anonymous donors that made an applied, yet dreamy, project possible. I hope this thesis shows that significant progress has been made, and that the money given might therefore end up helping a lot of people. Finally, a heartfelt thank you to Natalie Scholes who keeps helping me be better. 2 Abstract Multidrug-resistant bacteria are one of the most critical threats facing human health. Despite an urgent need for novel treatments, antibiotic discovery has stalled. Consequently, no novel antibiotic class has been discovered in the last 40 years. Most existing antibiotics were discovered by screening the 1 % of bacteria that can be cultivated in standard laboratory conditions. The 99 % residual bacteria represent a bioresource that could yield novel antibiotics; but at present this bioresource remains largely unscreened. Here I present the development of a novel high throughput in situ screening array (“ISSA” platform), which screens soil bacteria for antibiotic production in their native environment. The developed platform can isolate a known number of soil strains and screen them against specific clinically relevant pathogens. The platform consists of 4080 discrete compartments, with each compartment containing an average of one soil bacterium and an adjacent luxCDABE bioreporter strain that turns off when antibacterial compounds are secreted. The in situ incubation in the ISSA platform significantly boosts cultivation rates of previously uncultivable bacteria, resulting in the isolation and cultivation of novel bacterial strains. The ISSA platform overall leads to an efficient identification process of soil bacteria that secrete antibacterial compounds. So far, the platform has identified seven antibacterial compound producing strains. Three of these strains are novel antibacterial compound producers, which demonstrates that the developed ISSA platform can be a valuable tool in the race to discover novel antibiotics. 3 Declaration of originality I declare that this thesis titled “Method Development for the in situ Screening of Uncultivable Bacteria for Antibiotic Production” is original work conducted by myself for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy.

People all over the world are dying from multidrug resistant infections, and it is predicted that bacterial infections will once again become the leading cause of death. One human opportunistic pathogen of great concern is Pseudomonas aeruginosa. P. aeruginosa is the most abundant pathogen in cystic fibrosis (CF) patients’ lungs over time and is resistant to most currently used antibiotics. Chronic infection of the CF lung is the main cause of morbidity and mortality in CF patients. With the rise of multidrug resistant bacteria and lack of novel antibiotics, treatment for CF patients will become more problematic. Escalating the problem is a lack of research from pharmaceutical companies due to low profitability, resulting in a large void in the discovery and development of antibiotics. Thus, research labs within academia have played an important role in the discovery of novel compounds. Environmental bacteria are known to naturally produce secondary metabolites, some of which outcompete surrounding bacteria for resources. We hypothesized that environmental Pseudomonas from diverse soil and water habitats produce secondary metabolites capable of inhibiting the growth of CF derived P. aeruginosa. To address this hypothesis, we used a population based study in tandem with transposon mutagenesis and bioinformatics to identify eight biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) from four different environmental Pseudomonas strains, S4G9, LE6C9, LE5C2 and S3E10.

However, the diversity of bacteria associated with the roots of terrestrial orchids colonizing Andean ecosystems is limited. This study identifies and examines the capabilities of endophytic bacteria associated with peloton-containing roots of six terrestrial orchid species from southern Chile. To achieve our goals, we placed superficially disinfected root fragments harboring pelotons on oatmeal agar (OMA) with no antibiotic addition and cultured them until the bacteria appeared. Subsequently, they were purified and identified using molecular tools and examined for plant growth metabolites production and antifungal activity. In total, 168 bacterial strains were isolated and assigned to 8 OTUs. The orders Pseudomonadales, Burkholderiales, and Xanthomonadales of phylum Proteobacteria were the most frequent. The orders Bacillales and Flavobacteriales of the phylla Firmicutes and Bacteroidetes were also obtained.

In order to identify the functional significance of phosphate solubilization in Pseudomonas Plant growth promoting rhizobacteria, we describe here the phenotypic characteristics of strain OK2T along with its high-quality draft genome sequence, its annotation, and analysis. The genome is comprised of 5,647,497 bp with 60.15 % G + C content. The sequence includes 4,846 protein-coding genes and 95 RNA genes.

  • Aquatic Microbial Ecology 80:15
    The following supplement accompanies the article Isolates as models to study bacterial ecophysiology and biogeochemistry Åke Hagström*, Farooq Azam, Carlo Berg, Ulla Li Zweifel *Corresponding author: [email protected] Aquatic Microbial Ecology 80: 15–27 (2017) Supplementary Materials & Methods The bacteria characterized in this study were collected from sites at three different sea areas; the Northern Baltic Sea (63°30’N, 19°48’E), Northwest Mediterranean Sea (43°41'N, 7°19'E) and Southern California Bight (32°53'N, 117°15'W). Seawater was spread onto Zobell agar plates or marine agar plates (DIFCO) and incubated at in situ temperature. Colonies were picked and plate- purified before being frozen in liquid medium with 20% glycerol. The collection represents aerobic heterotrophic bacteria from pelagic waters. Bacteria were grown in media according to their physiological needs of salinity. Isolates from the Baltic Sea were grown on Zobell media (ZoBELL, 1941) (800 ml filtered seawater from the Baltic, 200 ml Milli-Q water, 5g Bacto-peptone, 1g Bacto-yeast extract). Isolates from the Mediterranean Sea and the Southern California Bight were grown on marine agar or marine broth (DIFCO laboratories). The optimal temperature for growth was determined by growing each isolate in 4ml of appropriate media at 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45 and 50o C with gentle shaking. Growth was measured by an increase in absorbance at 550nm. Statistical analyses The influence of temperature, geographical origin and taxonomic affiliation on growth rates was assessed by a two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) in R (http://www.r-project.org/) and the “car” package.
