Metatranscriptomic and functional metagenomic analysis of methylphosphonate utilization by marine bacteria
Aerobic degradation of methylphosphonate (MPn) by marine bacterioplankton has been hypothesized to contribute significantly to the ocean's methane supersaturation, yet little is known about MPn utilization by marine microbes. To identify the microbial taxa and metabolic functions associated with MPn-driven methane production we performed parallel metagenomic, metatranscriptomic, and functional ...
متن کاملWidespread known and novel phosphonate utilization pathways in marine bacteria revealed by functional screening and metagenomic analyses.
Phosphonates (Pn), compounds with a direct C-P bond instead of the more common C-O-P ester bond, constitute a significant fraction of marine dissolved organic phosphorus and recent evidence suggests that they may be an alternative source of P for marine microorganisms. To further characterize the microorganisms and pathways involved in Pn utilization, we screened bacterioplankton genomic librar...
متن کاملA Functional Metagenomic Analysis of Tetracycline Resistance in Cheese Bacteria
Metagenomic techniques have been successfully used to monitor antibiotic resistance genes in environmental, animal and human ecosystems. However, despite the claim that the food chain plays a key role in the spread of antibiotic resistance, metagenomic analysis has scarcely been used to investigate food systems. The present work reports a functional metagenomic analysis of the prevalence and ev...
متن کاملUtilization of Organic Nitrogen Compounds by Marine and Freshwater Bacteria
Reduced nitrogen species represent the largest pool of nitrogen in many aquatic systems, yet little is known about the chemical composition of this pool and the metabolic pathways required for its remineralization. The long residence time of this material in aquatic systems suggests that it is very refractory and relatively resistant to degradation by direct metabolism or extra-cellular enzymat...
متن کاملDetermination of whether quorum quenching is a common activity in marine bacteria by analysis of cultivable bacteria and metagenomic sequences.
The abundance of quorum quenching (QQ) activity was evaluated in cultivable bacteria obtained from oceanic and estuarine seawater and compared with the frequency of QQ enzyme sequences in the available marine metagenomic collections. The possible role of the high QQ activity found among marine bacteria is discussed.
