Oxygen promotes biofilm formation of Shewanella putrefaciens CN32 through a diguanylate cyclase and an adhesin

چکیده
Although oxygen has been reported to regulate biofilm formation by several Shewanella species, the exact regulatory mechanism mostly remains unclear. Here, we identify a direct oxygen-sensing diguanylate cyclase (DosD) and reveal its regulatory role in biofilm formation by Shewanella putrefaciens CN32 under aerobic conditions. In vitro and in vivo analyses revealed that the activity of DosD culminates to synthesis of cyclic diguanylate (c-di-GMP) in the presence of oxygen. DosD regulates the transcription of bpfA operon which encodes seven proteins including a large repetitive adhesin BpfA and its cognate type I secretion system (TISS). Regulation of DosD in aerobic biofilms is heavily dependent on an adhesin BpfA and the TISS. This study offers an insight into the molecular mechanism of oxygen-stimulated biofilm formation by S. putrefaciens CN32.

Indirect modulation of the intracellular c-Di-GMP level in Shewanella oneidensis MR-1 by MxdA.
The GGDEF domain protein MxdA, which is important for biofilm formation in Shewanella oneidensis MR-1, was hypothesized to possess diguanylate cyclase activity. Here, we demonstrate that while MxdA controls the cellular level of c-di-GMP in S. oneidensis, it modulates the c-di-GMP pool indirectly.
متن کاملBioreduction of nitrobenzene, natural organic matter, and hematite by Shewanella putrefaciens CN32.
We examined the reduction of nitrobenzene by Shewanella putrefaciens CN32 in the presence of natural organic matter (NOM) and hematite. Bioreduction experiments were conducted with combinations and varied concentrations of nitrobenzene, soil humic acid, Georgetown NOM, hematite, and CN32. Abiotic experiments were conducted to quantify nitrobenzene reduction by biogenic Fe(II) and by bioreduced ...

8 Dissimilatory metal reducing bacteria (DMRB) are capable of reducing contaminants such as 9 Cr(VI), Se(VI) and U(VI) during respiration, a process that has a pronounced impact on the 10 mobility of these contaminants in surface and subsurface environments. DMRB can also 11 reduce Fe(III), most commonly associated with solid phase (hydr)oxide minerals such as 12 ferrihydrite, goethite, or hema...
متن کاملEffect of natural organic matter on zinc inhibition of hematite bioreduction by Shewanella putrefaciens CN32.
The effect of zinc on the biological reduction of hematite (alpha-Fe2O3) by the dissimilatory metal-reducing bacterium (DMRB) Shewanella putrefaciens CN32 was studied in the presence of four natural organic materials (NOMs). Experiments were performed under non-growth conditions with H2 as the electron donor and zinc inhibition was quantified as the decrease in the 5 d extent of hematite biored...
متن کاملPdeB, a cyclic Di-GMP-specific phosphodiesterase that regulates Shewanella oneidensis MR-1 motility and biofilm formation.
Shewanella oneidensis MR-1, a gammaproteobacterium with respiratory versatility, forms biofilms on mineral surfaces through a process controlled by the cyclic dinucleotide messenger c-di-GMP. Cellular concentrations of c-di-GMP are maintained by proteins containing GGDEF and EAL domains, which encode diguanylate cyclases for c-di-GMP synthesis and phosphodiesterases for c-di-GMP hydrolysis, res...
