Title: Physiological and proteomic analyses of Fe( III )‐reducing co‐cultures of Desulfotomaculum reducens MI ‐1 and Geobacter sulfurreducens PCA

Abstract

Abstract We established Fe( III )‐reducing co‐cultures of two species of metal‐reducing bacteria, the Gram‐positive Desulfotomaculum reducens MI ‐1 and the Gram‐negative Geobacter sulfurreducens PCA . Co‐cultures were given pyruvate, a substrate that D. reducens can ferment and use as electron donor for Fe( III ) reduction. G. sulfurreducens relied upon products of pyruvate oxidation by D. reducens (acetate, hydrogen) for use as electron donor in the co‐culture. Co‐cultures reduced Fe( III ) to Fe( II ) robustly, and Fe( II ) was consistently detected earlier in co‐cultures than pure cultures. Notably, faster cell growth, and correspondingly faster pyruvate oxidation, was observed by D. reducens in co‐cultures. Global comparative proteomic analysis was performed to observe differential protein abundance during co‐culture vs. pure culture growth. Proteins previously associated with Fe( III ) reduction in G. sulfurreducens, namely c‐type cytochromes and type IV pili proteins, were significantly increased in abundance in co‐cultures relative to pure cultures. D. reducens ribosomal proteins were significantly increased in co‐cultures, likely a reflection of faster growth rates observed for D. reducens cells while in co‐culture. Furthermore, we developed multiple reaction monitoring ( MRM ) assays to quantitate specific biomarker peptides. The assays were validated in pure and co‐cultures, and protein abundance ratios from targetedmore » MRM and global proteomic analysis correlate significantly.« less
