Microbial Ecology and Environmental Genomics The 2 nd Week Introductions to - Principles of Microbiology - Molecular Biology of Microorganisms Slide 2 Basics: Microbiology Growth and self-reproduction Highly organized and selectively restrict what crosses their boundaries (a lower entropy compared to their environment) Composed of major elements (C, N, O, and S, in particular) Self-feeding of elements, electrons, and energy The Cell (living entity) Slide 3 Basics: Microbiology Eukaryotic cell Prokaryotic cell Slide 4 Basics: Microbiology Cell membrane: a barrier between the cell and its environment (selectively transporting elements, electrons, and energy) Cell wall: a structure member that confers rigidity to the cell and protects the membrane Cytoplasm: most of the inside of the cell Chromosome: stores the genetic code for the cells heredity and biochemical functions Ribosomes: convert the genetic code into working catalysts that carry out the cells reactions. Enzymes: biological catalysts Essential Cell Components Slide 5 Organism Classification Science of classification Based upon observable properties (phenotypes) including morphology and transformation Traditional way of organism classification Taxonomy Science of classification Based upon evolution history (small subunit of rRNA, functional gene sequencing, genome sequencing) New way of organism classification Phylogeny Slide 6 Escherichia coli O157:H7 Pseudomonas aeroginosa PA01 Burkholderia xenovorans LB400 Basics: Microbiology Naming bacteria/archaea RULE: Genus (italic) species (italic) strain (ref. the International Code of Nomenclature of Bacteria) Species: the basic taxonomic unit Genus: population unit Slide 7 Basics: Microbiology Membrane-enclosed nucleus Muramic acid in cell wall Chlorophyll-based photosynthesis Methanogenesis Reduction of S to H2S Nitrification Denitrification Nitrogen fixation Synthesis of poly-beta-hydroxylakanoate carbon storage granules Sensitivity to chloramphenicol, streptomycin, and kanamycin Rebosome sensitivity to diphtheria toxin Absent Present Yes No Yes No Absent No Yes No Yes No Yes Present Absent Yes No Yes BacteriaArchaeaEukaryaCharacteristic Source: Madigan, Martinko, and Parker, 1997 Slide 8 Phylogenetic tree of life as determined from small subunit of ribosomal RNA sequencing (C.

Single celled protozoa (Eukaryotes): bacteria eater, disease-causing Fungi (multi-cellular Eukaryotes): detoxification Environmentally important microorganisms Slide 10 Prokaryotes Are among the smallest of the entities that are generally agreed to be living. Ubiquitous (everywhere) Able to transform a great variety of inorganic and organic pollutants into harmless minerals (which is recycled back into the environment) => Beneficial to human Often cause disease or are responsible for many of the plagues of the past and for mjor sickness and misery => Threatening human health Bacteria Archaea (later) Slide 11 Bacteria Coccus (spherical shape) Streptococci Staphylococci Sarcina (packets of eight) Bacillus (cylindrical rod shape) Chains of bacilli Spirillum (helical shape) Morphology Slide 12 Bacteria 0.5-2 m (width) x 1-5 m (length) 0.5-5 m (Diameter for Cocci) 10 12 cells per gram of dry solid weight Surface area: 12m 2 /gram Size and some number for bacteria Slide 13 Bacteria Cell wall: peptidoglycan (G-negatives have a higher content of lipopolysaccharide while G- positives teichoic acids) Cytoplasmic membrane: phospholipid bilayer, semipermeable, membrane-bound electron- transport enzymes (cytochromes), selective material transport Cytoplasm: consist of water, dissolved nutrients, enzymes, proteins, and nucleic acids (RNAs and DNAs), and ribosomes (protein-RNA) Inclusion: storage for food or nutrients (e.g. PHB, fatty materials, or sulfur accumlation) DNA: chromosome, plasmid (mobile) RNA: mRNA, tRNA, rRNA Endospores (e.g. Bacillus, stress response) Capsule or slime layer: floc formation Flagella: chemotaxis, phototaxis Fimbriae and pili: attachment, involved in conjugation Cell structure Slide 14 ConstituentPercentage Water Dry Matter Organic C O H N Inorganic P 2 O 5 K 2 O Na 2 O MgO CaO SO 3 75 25 90 45-55 22-28 5-7 8-13 10 50 6.5 10 8.5 10 15 Macromolecule%a%a %b%b Molecules per cell Total Proteins Carbohydrates Lipids DNA RNA 100 50-60 10-15 6-8 3 15-20 100 55 7 9.1 3.1 20.5 24,610,000 2,350,000 22,000,000 2.1 255,500 Chemical composition Macromolecular composition NOTE a: dry weight (Rittmann and McCarty) b: dry weight, data from E.coli and S. typhimurium [Madigan, Martinko, and Parker (1997) and G. C. Neidhardt et al (1996)] E.coli dry weight for actively growing cells is about 2.8x10 -13 g molybdenum (N 2 fixation) nickel (anaerobic methane production) cupper (methane oxidization) Trace heavy metals in enzymes Bacteria (why C 5 H 7 O 2 N?) Slide 15 Prokaryotic Reproduction Bacterias normal way to reproduce themselves. After reproduction, the parent cells no longer exists, and the two daughter cells normally are exact replicates (i.e., clones) of each other, both containing the same genetic information as the parent. (Joons questionNO AGING?) Asexual reproduction Replication: chromosome (genomic DNA) is replicated and divided into each daughter cell. Replication of chromosome Norcardia species produce extensive filamentous growth Formation of long, branching, non- dividing filaments, containing multiple chromosomes. (Multi- cellular???) In stressed conditions, some of these species form spores (some Streptomyces and many molds) Binary fission (normal way of multiplication) Filamentous growth Slide 16 Prokaryotic Reproduction Asymmetric creation of a growing bud, on the mother cell. The bud increases in size and eventually severed from the parental cell. After division is complete, the mother cell reinitiates the process by growing another bud. Yeast and some bacteria (Caulobacter is one example) use this form of division. Budding division Some bacteria transfer plasmid (not chromosome) into other bacteria using conjugation process (cf. Horizontal gene transfer) Conjugation requires direct contact between two cells. Conjugation results in replication of genetic information. And then multiplication can occur. Conjugation often occurs between same species as well as between different species (even different genus levels). Sexual reproduction via conjugation Binary fission Conjugation Slide 17 Prokaryotic Growth Prokaryotic growth curve Calculation of growth rate The value of growth rate possibly is influenced by the way of quantifying growth (i.e., cell number counts vs. biomass). Growth rate: dN/dt = k * N (exponential growth) Integration: N 2 = N 1 * EXP[k*t] Growth rate constant: k = ln(N 2 /N 1 )/(t 2 -t 1 ) here X : biomass or cell number Xo: initial biomass or cell number t 2 : 2 nd measurement time point t 1 : 1 st measurement time point Example Slide 18 Bacteria Phototrophs (use light as energy source) - Oxygenic phototrophs use light to convert water into O 2 and H 2, the electron sources. This is similar as plants do, and is dependent the type of chlorophylls. - Anoxygenic phototrophs live in the absence of O 2 They use light to extract electron sources from reduced sulfur compounds (H 2 S), H 2 or organic compounds (succinate or butyrate). One example is conversion of H 2 S into H 2 and S. Chemotrophs (use chemicals as energy or carbon sources) - Chemoorganotrophs (organic chemicals) - Chemolithotrophs (inorganic chemicals) - Autotrohs (use inorganic carbon such as CO 2 for cell synthesis) - Heterotrophs (use organic carbon for cell synthesis) Energy and carbon-source classes of bacteria Slide 19 Bacteria Temperature Psychrophile (-5 to 20 o C) Mesophile (8 to 45 o C); Thermophile (40 to 70 o C) Hyperthermophile (65 to 110 oC) pH Typically, bacteria have a narrow pH range of for growth (6 to 8) For some species, the operating range is quite broad. Acidophilic bacteria (some chemolithotrophs oxidizing sulfur or iron for energy at highly acidic conditions.) Oxygen Aerobes (respiration with oxygen); Anaerobes (respiration in the absence of oxygen); Aerotolerant anaerobes (can grow in the presence of oxygen but cannot use oxygen); Facultative aerobes (do both aerobic and anaerobic respiration); Microaerophiles (can grow in presence of minute quantities of oxygen molecules) Salts Halophiles (grow best under salt conditions similar to seawater, 3.5% NaCl) Extremehalophiles (live well in a saturated NaCl, 15-30%) Environmental conditions for growth Slide 20 Bacteria Aquifer/Hydrogenobacter: Hyperthermophilic, chemolithotrophic Thermotoga: Hyperthermophilic, chemoorganotrophic, fermentative Green nonsulfer bacteria: Thermophilic, phototrophic and nonphototrophic Deinococci Some thermophiles, some radiation resistant, some unique spirochetes Spirochetes: Unique spiral morphology Green sulfur bacteria: Strictly anaerobic, obligately anoxygenic phototrophic Bacteroides-Flavobacteria: Mixture of types, strict aerobes to strict anaerobes, some are gliding bacteria Planctomyces: Some reproduce by budding and lack peptidoglycan in cell walls, aerobic, aquatic, require dilute media Chlamydiae: Obligately intracellular parasites, many cause diseases in humans and other animals. Gram-positive bacteria: Gram-positive, many different types, unique cell-wall composition Cyanobacteria: Oxygenic phototrophic Purple bacteria (Proteobacteria): Gram-negative; many different types including anoxygenic phototrophs and nonphototrophs; aerobic, anaerobic, and facultative; chemoorganotrophic and chemolithotrophic Characteristics of 12 phylogenic lineages of bacteria Slide 21 Proteobacteria (purple bacteria) Alpha: Rhodospirillum*, Rhodopseudomonas*, Rhodobacter*, Rhodomicrobium*, Rhodovulum*, Rhodopila*, Nitrobacter, Agrobacterium, Aquaspirillum, Hyphomicrobium, Acetobacter, Gluconobacter, Beijerinckia, Paracoccus, Pseudomonas (some species).

G-negative chemoorganotrophs that show no fermentative metabolism Pseudomonads (belonging to ,, and groups) Oxygen and nitrate Sulfate TEA AMD, Corrosion Slide 22 Archaea Methanogens (in Euryarchaea group) convert hydrogen and acetate into methane, a useful energy source. Extremophiles (Thermophiles, Halophiles, and Acidophiles) are common in Archaea =>Useful for biological treatment of industrial wastewaters that may contain extremes in salt concentration or temperature Meaning of studying Archaea in Biotechnolgy Bacteria generally have peptidoglycan in cell walls but Archaea do not. Bacterial membrane fatty acids tend to be straight chained (ester linkages), while the archaeal membrane lipids tend to be long-chained, branched hydrocarbons (ether linkages). Bacterial RNA polymerase is of single type with a simple quaternary structure, while Archaeal RNA polymerase are of several types and structurally more complex. Archaea versus Bacteria Slide 23 Archaea Crenarchaeota: Desulfurococcus, Pyrodictium, Sulfolobus, Thermococcus, Thermoproteus Korarchaeota: Hyperthermophilic Archaea (have not yet been obtained in pure culture) Euryarchaeota: Archaeroglobus, Halobacterim, Halococcus, Halophilic methanogen, Methanobacterium, Methanococcus, Methanosarcina, Methanospirillu, Methanothermus, Methanopyrus, Thermoplama Major groups and subgroups Slide 24 Eukarya Fungi: (1) the primary decomposers in the world; (2) decompose a great variety of organic materials that tend to resist bacterial decay (decomposition of lignin, leaves, dead plants and trees, and other lignocellulosic organic debris via peroxidase pathways); (3) decomposition of dry organic matter (stabilization of sludge and refuse); (4) favor soil environment, high organic concentration, and drier and more acidic conditions compared to prokaryotes); (5) unfortunately, their detoxification is slow Algae: (1) important in surface water quality control; (2) produce organic matters using light (phytoplankton); (3) oxygenic photosynthesis is good for water quality and wastewater treatment; (4) too much algae growth cause tastes and odors in water supplies, clogging problems in water treatment plants; decreased clarity of lakes; increased sedimentation in lake; (5) a balanced population of algae is required. Protozoa: (1) common members in aerobic and anaerobic wastewater treatments; (2) also are observed in most freshwater and marine habitats; (3) feed on bacteria and small organic particulate matter (polishing effluent from wastewater treatment plants); (4) Indicate the presence of toxic materials Multicellular microscopic Eukarya: rotifers, nematodes, and other zooplankton Of interest in environmental biotechnology Slide 25 Viruses Not considered to be living entities Replicated only when in association with a living cell Consisting of nucleic acid (DNA or RNA) surrounded by protein 15-300 nm (Smallpox 200-300 nm; Herpes simplex 100 nm; Influenza 100 nm; Adonovirus 75nm; Bacteriophase 80nm; Tobacco mosiac virus 15 x 280 nm) Bacteriophages: virus infects prokaryotes Phages are prevalent in biological wastewater treatment systems A virus infection occurs quite rapidly (within about 25 min, 200 new phases can be produced.)

Termination of transcription: stop at the end of gene; RNA polymerase released from the DNA. Critical Steps in Transcription A RNA polymerase binds to a promoter region and produces mRNA => Gene Expression Up-regulation (Expression): the synthesis of a mRNA is increased Down-regulation (Repression): the synthesis of mRNA is reduced. Inducible versus Constitute Expression Regulation of a gene expression is highly influenced by environmental and physiological factors(Why genomics is needed.)
