Title: Trace Metal Imaging of Sulfate-Reducing Bacteria and Methanogenic Archaea at Single-Cell Resolution by Synchrotron X-Ray Fluorescence Imaging

Abstract

Metal cofactors are required for many enzymes in anaerobic microbial respiration. This paper examined iron, cobalt, nickel, copper, and zinc in cellular and abiotic phases at the single-cell scale for a sulfate-reducing bacterium (Desulfococcus multivorans) and a methanogenic archaeon (Methanosarcina acetivorans) using synchrotron X-ray fluorescence microscopy. Relative abundances of cellular metals were also measured by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. Finally, for both species, zinc and iron were consistently the most abundant cellular metals. M. acetivorans contained higher nickel and cobalt content than D. multivorans, likely due to elevated metal requirements for methylotrophic methanogenesis. Cocultures contained spheroid zinc sulfides and cobalt/copper sulfides.

Metabolic associations with archaea drive shifts in hydrogen isotope fractionation in sulfate‐reducing bacterial lipids in cocultures and methane seeps

Journal Article Dawson, K. S. ; Osburn, M. R. ; Sessions, A. L. ; ... - Geobiology

Abstract Correlation between hydrogen isotope fractionation in fatty acids and carbon metabolism in pure cultures of bacteria indicates the potential of biomarker D/H analysis as a tool for diagnosing carbon substrate usage in environmental samples. However, most environments, in particular anaerobic habitats, are built from metabolic networks of micro‐organisms rather than a single organism. The effect of these networks on D/H of lipids has not been explored and may complicate the interpretation of these analyses. Syntrophy represents an extreme example of metabolic interdependence. Here, we analyzed the effect of metabolic interactions on the D/H biosignatures of sulfate‐reducing bacteria ( SRBmore »« less

Genomic analysis of methanogenic archaea reveals a shift towards energy conservation

Journal Article Gilmore, Sean P. ; Henske, John K. ; Sexton, Jessica A. ; ... - BMC Genomics

The metabolism of archaeal methanogens drives methane release into the environment and is critical to understanding global carbon cycling. Methanogenesis operates at a very low reducing potential compared to other forms of respiration and is therefore critical to many anaerobic environments. Harnessing or altering methanogen metabolism has the potential to mitigate global warming and even be utilized for energy applications. Here, we report draft genome sequences for the isolated methanogens Methanobacterium bryantii, Methanosarcina spelaei, Methanosphaera cuniculi, and Methanocorpusculum parvum. These anaerobic, methane-producing archaea represent a diverse set of isolates, capable of methylotrophic, acetoclastic, and hydrogenotrophic methanogenesis. Assembly and analysis ofmore »« less

A shift between mineral and nonmineral sources of iron and sulfur causes proteome-wide changes in Methanosarcina barkeri

Journal Article Fausset, Hunter ; Spietz, Rachel L. ; Cox, Savannah ; ... - Microbiology Spectrum

ABSTRACT Iron (Fe) and sulfur (S) are required elements for life, and changes in their availability can limit the ecological distribution and function of microorganisms. In anoxic environments, soluble Fe typically exists as ferrous iron [Fe(II)] and S as sulfide (HS ⁻ ). These species exhibit a strong affinity that ultimately drives the formation of sedimentary pyrite (FeS ₂ ). Recently, paradigm-shifting studies indicate that Fe and S in FeS ₂ can be made bioavailable by methanogens through a reductive dissolution process. However, the impact of the utilization of FeS ₂ , as opposed to canonical Fe and S sources,more »« less

Methanogens acquire and bioaccumulate nickel during reductive dissolution of nickelian pyrite

Journal Article Spietz, Rachel L. ; Payne, Devon ; Boyd, Eric S. ; ... - Applied and Environmental Microbiology

Nickel (Ni) is a key component of the active site metallocofactors of numerous enzymes required for methanogenesis, including [NiFe]-hydrogenase, carbon monoxide dehydrogenase, and methyl CoM reductase, leading to a high demand for Ni among methanogens. However, methanogens often inhabit euxinic environments that favor the sequestration of nickel as metal-sulfide minerals, such as nickelian pyrite [(Ni,Fe)S₂], that have low solubilities and that are not considered bioavailable. Recently, however, several different model methanogens (Methanosarcina barkeri, Methanococcus voltae, Methanococcus maripaludis) were shown to reductively dissolve pyrite (FeS₂) and to utilize dissolution products to meet iron and sulfur biosynthetic demands. Here, using M. barkerimore »« less

Post-translational thioamidation of methyl-coenzyme M reductase, a key enzyme in methanogenic and methanotrophic Archaea

Journal Article Nayak, Dipti D. ; Mahanta, Nilkamal ; Mitchell, Douglas A. ; ... - eLife

Methyl-coenzyme M reductase (MCR), found in strictly anaerobic methanogenic and methanotrophic archaea, catalyzes the reversible production and consumption of the potent greenhouse gas methane. The α subunit of MCR (McrA) contains several unusual post-translational modifications, including a rare thioamidation of glycine. Based on the presumed function of homologous genes involved in the biosynthesis of thioviridamide, a thioamide-containing natural product, we hypothesized that the archaeal tfuA and ycaO genes would be responsible for post-translational installation of thioglycine into McrA. Mass spectrometric characterization of McrA from the methanogenic archaeon Methanosarcina acetivorans lacking tfuA and/or ycaO revealed the presence of glycine, rather thanmore »« less
