Lanthanide-dependent cross-feeding of methane-derived carbon is linked by microbial community interactions
Abstract
A great challenge in microbial ecology lies in determining the underlying mechanisms that drive interactions in complex natural communities. In this study we used bacterial isolates from Lake Washington sediment that are important for the utilization of the greenhouse gas methane. We show how simple cocultures can be used to identify mechanisms involved in cross-feeding in microbial communities; these mechanisms cannot be deduced from pure cultures alone. We demonstrate that the presence of one species alters gene expression and metabolism in another species such that the second species excretes a carbon and energy source to sustain the cross-fed species. This mode of cross-feeding based on partner-induced altered gene expression may have important implications for microbial interactions in the environment.
