Shewanella oneidensis MR-1 respires CdSe quantum dots for photocatalytic hydrogen evolution

Living bio-nano systems for artificial photosynthesis are of growing interest. Typically, these systems use photoinduced charge transfer to provide electrons for microbial metabolic processes, yielding a biosynthetic solar fuel. Here, we demonstrate an entirely different approach to constructing a living bio-nano system, in which electrogenic bacteria respire semiconductor nanoparticles to support nanoparticle photocatalysis. Semiconductor nanocrystals are highly active and robust photocatalysts for hydrogen (H 2 ) evolution, but their use is hindered by the oxidative side of the reaction. In this system, Shewanella oneidensis MR-1 provides electrons to a CdSe nanocrystalline photocatalyst, enabling visible light-driven H 2 production. Unlike microbial electrolysis cells, this system requires no external potential. Illuminating this system at 530 nm yields continuous H 2 generation for 168 h, which can be lengthened further by replenishing bacterial nutrients.

Achieving high hydrogen productivities of 20 L/L-day via microbial electrolysis of corn stover fermentation products

Microbial electrolysis cells have the potential to generate renewable hydrogen from underused waste streams, however current devices have not reached very large productivity targets using real waste products at any scale. This study used a waste from fermented corn stover known as corn stover fermentation product to reach performance metrics that could be commercialized, if adequately scaled. Average current densities in MECs with mature biofilms reached 17.9 +/- 1.6 A/m 2 at an organic loading rate of 30 grams of chemical oxygen demand per liter of anode volume per day (g/L-day), reaching a maximum current density of 27.2 +/- 2.9 A/m 2 . Hydrogen productivities reached 20.2 +/- 2.0 L of H 2 per L anode volume per day (L/L-day). These represent the highest current densities and highest hydrogen productivities using a complex feedstock in a microbial electrolysis cell. Organic acids and sugars present in untreated substrate were converted at high percentages in MECs, with most above 90% conversion, at organic loading rates of 10, 20, and 30 g/L-day. The effect of periodic high liquid flow rates through the anode on performance was assessed. These tests, called pulsing, showed that hydrogen productivities and current densities increased most dramatically as flow was pulsed every hour at a baseline flow rate of 0.3 mL/min. These productivities show promise for high performance systems, if adequate scale up can be achieved.

Advanced Microbial Check Valve development

The Microbial Check Valve (MCV) is a flight qualified assembly that provides bacteriologically safe drinking water for the Space Shuttle. The 1-lb unit is basically a canister packed with an iodinated ion-exchange resin. The device is used to destroy organisms in a water stream as the water passes through it. It is equally effective for fluid flow in either direction and its primary method of disinfection is killing rather than filtering. The MCV was developed to disinfect the fuel cell water and to prevent back contamination of stored potable water on the Space Shuttle. This paper reports its potential for space applications beyond the basic Shuttle mission. Data are presented that indicate the MCV is suitable for use in advanced systems that NASA has under development for the reclamation of humidity condensate, wash water and human urine.

Progress Towards a New Model Chemolithoautotrophic Host (CRADA Final Report)

Some of the largest scale chemical processes for the production of important commodity chemicals and fuels involve an H 2 -containing gas mixture as an intermediate [e.g. ammonia, urea, methanol, Fischer-Tropsch (F-T) diesel, and hydrotreatment of crude petroleum to refined fuels]. The successful development of a model H 2 -oxidizing chemoautotrophic host could expand the range of fuels and chemicals produced from H 2 and CO 2 intermediates in the chemical, oil, and gas sectors in the near term, as well as from renewable and waste-derived sources of these gases that are expected to greatly expand in coming years. Among non-photosynthetic bacteria that can utilize H 2 and CO 2 , Cupriavidus necator (C. necator, formerly Ralstonia eutropha), is the best studied. C. necator is an excellent microbial host for the production of a variety of chemicals because it grows extremely quickly to very high cell densities autotrophically on H 2 and CO 2 , is genetically tractable, and has the ability to accumulate polymers, such as polyhydroxybutyrate, at industrial levels. Despite having great potential as a platform bioproduction host, genetic tools are limited, making metabolic engineering of this organism slow and laborious. In this CRADA project, we developed a number of genetic tools for C. necator: 1) Improvement of C. necator genetic transformation efficiency 2) Integration of heterologous genes into the C. necator chromosome and development of promoter library 3) Development of graded RBSs to control heterologous protein expression 4) Use of RBSs to demonstrate fatty alcohol production in C. necator 5) Demonstration of CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing in C. necator

Water-soluble saponins accumulate in drought-stressed switchgrass and may inhibit yeast growth during bioethanol production

Abstract Background Developing economically viable pathways to produce renewable energy has become an important research theme in recent years. Lignocellulosic biomass is a promising feedstock that can be converted into second-generation biofuels and bioproducts. Global warming has adversely affected climate change causing many environmental changes that have impacted earth surface temperature and rainfall patterns. Recent research has shown that environmental growth conditions altered the composition of drought-stressed switchgrass and directly influenced the extent of biomass conversion to fuels by completely inhibiting yeast growth during fermentation. Our goal in this project was to find a way to overcome the microbial inhibition and characterize specific compounds that led to this inhibition. Additionally, we also determined if these microbial inhibitors were plant-generated compounds, by-products of the pretreatment process, or a combination of both. Results Switchgrass harvested in drought (2012) and non-drought (2010) years were pretreated using Ammonia Fiber Expansion (AFEX). Untreated and AFEX processed samples were then extracted using solvents (i.e., water, ethanol, and ethyl acetate) to selectively remove potential inhibitory compounds and determine whether pretreatment affects the inhibition. High solids loading enzymatic hydrolysis was performed on all samples, followed by fermentation using engineered Saccharomyces cerevisiae . Fermentation rate, cell growth, sugar consumption, and ethanol production were used to evaluate fermentation performance. We found that water extraction of drought-year switchgrass before AFEX pretreatment reduced the inhibition of yeast fermentation. The extracts were analyzed using liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC–MS) to detect compounds enriched in the extracted fractions. Saponins, a class of plant-generated triterpene or steroidal glycosides, were found to be significantly more abundant in the water extracts from drought-year (inhibitory) switchgrass. The inhibitory nature of the saponins in switchgrass hydrolysate was validated by spiking commercially available saponin standard (protodioscin) in non-inhibitory switchgrass hydrolysate harvested in normal year. Conclusions Adding a water extraction step prior to AFEX-pretreatment of drought-stressed switchgrass effectively overcame inhibition of yeast growth during bioethanol production. Saponins appear to be generated by the plant as a response to drought as they were significantly more abundant in the drought-stressed switchgrass water extracts and may contribute toward yeast inhibition in drought-stressed switchgrass hydrolysates.

Data for Scale-up of Microbial Lipid and Bioethanol Production from Oilcane

Microbial oils are a sustainable biomass-derived substitute for liquid fuels and vegetable oils. Oilcane, an engineered sugarcane with superior feedstock characteristics for biodiesel production, is a promising candidate for bioconversion. This study describes the processing of oilcane stems into juice and hydrothermally pretreated lignocellulosic hydrolysate and their valorization to ethanol and microbial oil using Saccharomyces cerevisiae and engineered Rhodosporidium toruloides strains, respectively. A bioethanol titer of 106 g/L was obtained from S. cerevisiae grown on oilcane juice in a 3 L fermenter, and a lipid titer of 8.8 g/L was obtained from R. toruloides grown on oilcane hydrolysate in a 75 L fermenter. Oil was extracted from the R. toruloides cells using supercritical CO2, and the observed fatty acid profile was consistent with previous studies on this strain. These results demonstrate the feasibility of pilot-scale lipid production from oilcane hydrolysate as part of an integrated bioconversion strategy.

Engineering of 2‐ketoacid Decarboxylases for Production of Isobutanol and Other Fusel Alcohols in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Isobutanol is a fusel alcohol that can be produced microbially for use as a biofuel or upgraded into sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). A key enzyme in the isobutanol biosynthetic pathway is 2-ketoacid decarboxylase (KDC), which irreversibly decarboxylates 2-ketoisovalerate (KIV) to yield isobutyraldehyde. However, many previously characterized KDC enzymes also act promiscuously on other 2-ketoacids, (e.g., pyruvate) to produce a related aldehyde (e.g., acetaldehyde). This unwanted side reaction is especially important when isobutanol is produced in Saccharomyces cerevisiae (S. cerevisiae) because it leads to pyruvate being diverted to ethanol. In order to make S. cerevisiae a strict isobutanologen, a KDC enzyme that is specific for KIV must be deployed. In this study, we used a combination of cell-based and in vitro enzyme assays to investigate KDC substrate specificity, characterizing a large set of homologs for KIV, pyruvate, and phenylpyruvate (PPV) activity. A diverse range of substrate specificities was discovered, and some previously uncharacterized KDCs were revealed to have high KIV activity and low pyruvate activity. Multi-site saturation mutagenesis (SSM) of one of these KDCs identified mutants with increased KIV activity, while maintaining low levels of pyruvate activity. In a KIV bioconversion experiment, bioprospected and engineered KDCs allowed similar KIV consumption to when using the previously characterized Lactococcus lactis KdcA, though with some ethanol also produced. The KDCs identified here show promise for production of isobutanol and other alcohols derived from 2-ketoacids, and the dataset of newly characterized KDCs can inform future efforts to understand and engineer substrate specificity in KDCs.

Bacterial xylan utilization regulons: systems for coupling depolymerization of methylglucuronoxylans with assimilation and metabolism

Abstract Bioconversion of lignocellulosic resources offers an economically promising path to renewable energy. Technological challenges to achieving bioconversion include the development of cost-effective processes that render the cellulose and hemicellulose components of these resources to fermentable hexoses and pentoses. Natural bioprocessing of the hemicellulose fraction of lignocellulosic biomass requires depolymerization of methylglucuronoxylans. This requires secretion of endoxylanases that release xylooligosaccharides and aldouronates. Physiological, biochemical, and genetic studies with selected bacteria support a process in which a cell-anchored multimodular GH10 endoxylanase catalyzes release of the hydrolysis products, aldotetrauronate, xylotriose, and xylobiose, which are directly assimilated and metabolized. Gene clusters encoding intracellular enzymes, including α-glucuronidase, endoxylanase, β-xylosidase, ABC transporter proteins, and transcriptional regulators, are coordinately responsive to substrate induction or repression. The rapid rates of glucuronoxylan utilization and microbial growth, along with the absence of detectable products of depolymerization in the medium, indicate that assimilation and depolymerization are coupled processes. Genomic comparisons provide evidence that such systems occur in xylanolytic species in several genera, including Clostridium, Geobacillus, Paenibacillus, and Thermotoga. These systems offer promise, either in their native configurations or through gene transfer to other organisms, to develop biocatalysts for efficient production of fuels and chemicals from the hemicellulose fractions of lignocellulosic resources.

Establishing a clostridia foundry for biosystems design by integrating computational modeling, systems-level analyses, and cell-free engineering technologies (Final Report)

Rapid population growth, a rise in global living standards, and economic competitiveness have intensified the need for sustainable, low-cost biofuels and bioproducts production. Industrial biotechnology using microbial cell factories – and waste and/or renewable feedstocks – is one of the most attractive approaches for addressing this need, particularly when large-scale chemical synthesis is untenable. Unfortunately, designing, building, and optimizing biosynthetic pathways in cells remains a complex challenge. With support from the Department of Energy, we worked to address this challenge in a new interdisciplinary venture that established the world’s first clostridial Foundry for Biosystems Design (cBioFAB). Working both in vitro (cell-free) and in vivo, the goal of this project was to interweave and advance state-of-the-art computational modeling, genome editing, omics measurements, systems-biology analyses, and cell-free technologies to expand the set of platform organisms that meet DOE bioenergy goals. Specifically, we manufactured fuel and chemical intermediates via existing and de novo pathways. This report covers the outcomes of our research project.

In Vivo Assay Reveals Microbial OleA Thiolases Initiating Hydrocarbon and β-Lactone Biosynthesis

Microbially produced β-lactones are found in antibiotic, antitumor, and antiobesity drugs. Long-chain olefinic membrane hydrocarbons have potential utility as fuels and specialty chemicals. The metabolic pathway to both end products share bacterial enzymes denoted as OleA, OleC, and OleD that transform acyl-CoA cellular intermediates into β-lactones. Bacteria producing membrane hydrocarbons via the Ole pathway additionally express a β-lactone decarboxylase, OleB. Both β-lactone and olefin biosynthesis pathways are initiated by OleA enzymes that define the overall structure of the final product. There is currently very limited information on OleA enzymes apart from the single representative from Xanthomonas campestris . In this study, bioinformatic analysis identified hundreds of new, putative OleA proteins, 74 proteins were screened via a rapid whole-cell method, leading to the identification of 25 stably expressed OleA proteins representing seven bacteria phyla.

International Space Station USOS Potable Water Dispenser On-Orbit Functionality Versus Design

The International Space Station (ISS) currently provides potable water dispensing for rehydrating crewmember food and drinking packages. There is one system located in the United States On-orbit Segment (USOS) and one system in the Russian Segment. Shuttle mission STS-126 delivered the USOS Potable Water Dispenser (PWD) to ISS on ULF2; subsequent activation occurred on November 2008. The PWD is capable of supporting an ISS crew of six, but nominally supplies only half this crew size. The PWD design provides incremental quantities of hot and ambient temperature potable water to US food and beverage packages. PWD receives iodinated water from the US Water Recovery System (WRS) Fuel Cell Water Bus, which feeds from the Water Processing Assembly (WPA). The PWD removes the biocidal iodine to make the water potable prior to dispensing. A heater assembly contained within the unit supplies up to 2.0 L of hot water (65 to 93 ?C) every 30 min. During a single meal, this quantity of water supports three to four crewmembers? food rehydration and beverages. The unit design has a functional life expectancy of 10 years, with replacement of limited life items, such as filters. To date, the PWD on-orbit performance is acceptable. Since activation of the PWD, there were several differences between on-orbit functionality and expected performance of hardware design. The comparison of on-orbit functionality to performance of hardware design is discussed for the following key areas: 1) microbial contamination, 2) no-dispense and water leakage scenarios, and 3) under-dispense scenarios.

Constraining Venus Cloud Habitability: Earth's Aerobiosphere as an Analogue Environment

The potential habitability of Venus's cloud and haze layers has been debated for decades, with interest fueled by observations including disequilibria in atmospheric chemistry, strongly UV-absorbing particles, and (most recently) a controversial phosphine detection. Venus cloud temperature and pressure are clement by Earth standards; however, the calculated high acid activity and low water activity may exceed the limits of Earth biochemistry, based on observed life in extreme environments. A significant challenge in understanding Venus's habitability is the lack of an appropriate terrestrial analogue environment. Life has not been found in hydrothermal systems approaching Venus aerosol acidities, but these systems also contain high levels of other harsh solutes. Earth's stratospheric sulfate layer is a partial match in terms of acidity, desiccation, size, and isolation from the surface, but the few samples returned from these altitudes have yielded only sparse, inactive cells. Earth's tropospheric cloud droplets have an active microbial presence, but are larger and far more water-rich than Venus aerosols; tropospheric times aloft are also similar to microbial generation times, making Earth's aerobiosphere dependent on continuous surface replenishment. Direct detection of potential biosignatures from a single transect is challenging; Earth's cloud microbiota yields 102 - 108 viable cells per mL, equivalent to one per 103 - 109 particles, with highly dynamic and heterogeneous distribution. The most important in situ measurement for Venus cloud habitability is detailed aerosol composition: confirmation of acid and water activity, presence of potentially bioavailable nutrients and energy, and potential presence of organic matter. Modeling Venus cloud aerosol residence time in comparison to periodic influxes of water and photochemical energy, and thus the ability of an ecosystem to maintain itself over time, would also address a significant habitability constraint particular to aerobiospheres.

Antimicrobial Properties of Corn Stover Lignin Fractions Derived from Catalytic Transfer Hydrogenolysis in Supercritical Ethanol with a Ru/C Catalyst

Converting lignin to value-added products at high yields provides an avenue for making ethanol biorefineries more profitable while reducing the carbon footprint of products generally derived from petroleum. In this study, corn stover lignin was depolymerized by catalytic transfer hydrogenolysis (CTH) in supercritical ethanol with a Ru/C catalyst. The lignin-derived bio-oil was then sequentially extracted utilizing hexane, petroleum ether, chloroform, and ethyl acetate as solvents in order of less polar to polar, and the subsequent bio-oils were characterized using GPC, GC/MS, and HSQC NMR. In this work, results show that the monomers in the bio-oil fractions contained primarily alkylated phenols, hydrogenated hydroxycinnamic acid derivatives, syringol and guaiacol-type lignins created from reductive cleavages of ether linkages, which were sequentially extracted into groups depending on the solvent polarity. The antimicrobial properties of the bio-oils were screened against Gram-positive (Bacillus subtilis, Lactobacillus amylovorus, and Staphylococcus epidermidis) and Gram-negative (Escherichia coli) bacteria and yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) by examining microbial growth inhibition. Results show that CTH-derived bio-oils inhibited all tested organisms at concentrations less than 3 mg/mL. Total monomer concentration and the presence of specific monomers (i.e., syringyl propane) showed correlations to antimicrobial activity, likely due to cell death or membrane damage. This study provides insights into using sequential extraction to fractionate lignin-derived compounds and correlations between the properties of the extracted compounds and their antimicrobial activity.

Protist Predation Influences the Temperature Response of Bacterial Communities

Temperature strongly influences microbial community structure and function, in turn contributing to global carbon cycling that can fuel further warming. Recent studies suggest that biotic interactions among microbes may play an important role in determining the temperature responses of these communities. However, how predation regulates these microbiomes under future climates is still poorly understood. Here, we assess whether predation by a key global bacterial consumer—protists—influences the temperature response of the community structure and function of a freshwater microbiome. To do so, we exposed microbial communities to two cosmopolitan protist species—Tetrahymena thermophila and Colpidium sp.—at two different temperatures, in a month-long microcosm experiment. While microbial biomass and respiration increased with temperature due to community shifts, these responses changed over time and in the presence of protists. Protists influenced microbial biomass and respiration rate through direct and indirect effects on bacterial community structure, and predator presence actually reduced microbial respiration at elevated temperature. Indicator species analyses showed that these predator effects were mostly determined by phylum-specific bacterial responses to protist density and cell size. Our study supports previous findings that temperature is an important driver of microbial communities but also demonstrates that the presence of a large predator can mediate these responses to warming.

Single-cell isotope tracing reveals functional guilds of bacteria associated with the diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum

Abstract Bacterial remineralization of algal organic matter fuels algal growth but is rarely quantified. Consequently, we cannot currently predict whether some bacterial taxa may provide more remineralized nutrients to algae than others. Here, we quantified bacterial incorporation of algal-derived complex dissolved organic carbon and nitrogen and algal incorporation of remineralized carbon and nitrogen in fifteen bacterial co-cultures growing with the diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum at the single-cell level using isotope tracing and nanoSIMS. We found unexpected strain-to-strain and cell-to-cell variability in net carbon and nitrogen incorporation, including non-ubiquitous complex organic nitrogen utilization and remineralization. We used these data to identify three distinct functional guilds of metabolic interactions, which we termed macromolecule remineralizers, macromolecule users, and small-molecule users, the latter exhibiting efficient growth under low carbon availability. The functional guilds were not linked to phylogeny and could not be elucidated strictly from metabolic capacity as predicted by comparative genomics, highlighting the need for direct activity-based measurements in ecological studies of microbial metabolic interactions.
