Abstract
Understanding microbial migration and survival mechanisms in dust events (DEs) can elucidate genetic and metabolic exchange between environments and help predict the atmospheric pathways of ecological and health-related microbial stressors. Dust-borne microbial communities have been previously characterized, but the impact and interactions between potentially active bacteria within transported communities remain limited. Here, we analysed samples collected during DEs in Israel, using amplicon sequencing of the 16S rRNA genes and transcripts. Different air trajectories and wind speeds were associated not only with the genomic microbial community composition variations but also with specific 16S rRNA bacterial transcripts. Potentially active dust-borne bacteria exhibited positive interactions, including carbon and nitrogen cycling, biotransformation of heavy metals, degradation of organic compounds, biofilm formation, and the presence of pathogenic taxa. This study provides insights into the potential interactive relationships and survival strategies of microorganisms within the extreme dust environment.

Front Microbiol 2023; 14:1259015. [PMID: 37928661 PMCID: PMC10623323 DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2023.1259015] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/14/2023] [Accepted: 10/10/2023] [Indexed: 11/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Methanotrophs play a significant role in methane oxidation, because they are the only biological methane sink present in nature. The methane monooxygenase enzyme oxidizes methane or ammonia into methanol or hydroxylamine, respectively. While much is known about central carbon metabolism in methanotrophs, far less is known about nitrogen metabolism. In this study, we investigated how Methylococcus capsulatus Bath, a methane-oxidizing bacterium, responds to nitrogen source and temperature. Batch culture experiments were conducted using nitrate or ammonium as nitrogen sources at both 37°C and 42°C. While growth rates with nitrate and ammonium were comparable at 42°C, a significant growth advantage was observed with ammonium at 37°C. Utilization of nitrate was higher at 42°C than at 37°C, especially in the first 24 h. Use of ammonium remained constant between 42°C and 37°C; however, nitrite buildup and conversion to ammonia were found to be temperature-dependent processes. We performed RNA-seq to understand the underlying molecular mechanisms, and the results revealed complex transcriptional changes in response to varying conditions. Different gene expression patterns connected to respiration, nitrate and ammonia metabolism, methane oxidation, and amino acid biosynthesis were identified using gene ontology analysis. Notably, key pathways with variable expression profiles included oxidative phosphorylation and methane and methanol oxidation. Additionally, there were transcription levels that varied for genes related to nitrogen metabolism, particularly for ammonia oxidation, nitrate reduction, and transporters. Quantitative PCR was used to validate these transcriptional changes. Analyses of intracellular metabolites revealed changes in fatty acids, amino acids, central carbon intermediates, and nitrogen bases in response to various nitrogen sources and temperatures. Overall, our results offer improved understanding of the intricate interactions between nitrogen availability, temperature, and gene expression in M. capsulatus Bath. This study enhances our understanding of microbial adaptation strategies, offering potential applications in biotechnological and environmental contexts.

Abstract
Biotechnology is a promising approach to environmental remediation but requires improvement in efficiency and convenience. The improvement of biotechnology has been illustrated with the help of biocompatible materials as biocarrier for environmental remediations. Recently, graphene-based materials (GBMs) have become promising materials in environmental biotechnology. To better illustrate the principle and mechanisms of GBM application in biotechnology, the comprehension of the biological response of microorganisms and enzymes when facing the GBMs is needed. The review illustrated distinct GBM-microbe/enzyme composites by providing the GBM-microbe/enzyme interaction and the determining factors. There are diverse GBM modifications for distinct biotechnology applications. Each of these methods and applications depends on the physicochemical properties of GBMs. The applications of these composites were mainly categorized as pollutant adsorption, anaerobic digestion, microbial fuel cells, and organics degradation. Where information was available, the strategies and mechanisms of GBMs in improving application efficacies were also demonstrated. In addition, the biological response, from microbial community changes, extracellular polymeric substances changes to biological pathway alteration, may become important in the application of these composites. Furthermore, we also discuss challenges facing the environmental application of GBMs, considering their fate and toxicity in the ecosystem, and offer potential solutions. This research significantly enhances our comprehension of the fundamental principles, underlying mechanisms, and biological pathways for the in-situ utilization of GBMs.

Abstract
Dehydrogenation of methanol (CH3OH) into direct current (DC) in fuel cells can be a potential energy conversion technology. However, their development is currently hampered by the high cost of electrocatalysts based on platinum and palladium, slow kinetics, the formation of carbon monoxide intermediates, and the requirement for high temperatures. Here, we report the use of graphene layers (GL) for generating DC electricity from microbially driven methanol dehydrogenation on underlying copper (Cu) surfaces. Genetically tractable Rhodobacter sphaeroides 2.4.1 (Rsp), a nonarchetypical methylotroph, was used for dehydrogenating methanol at the GL-Cu surfaces. We use electrochemical methods, microscopy, and spectroscopy methods to assess the effects of GL on methanol dehydrogenation by Rsp cells. The GL-Cu offers a 5-fold higher power density and 4-fold higher current density compared to bare Cu. The GL lowers charge transfer resistance to methanol dehydrogenation by 4 orders of magnitude by mitigating issues related to pitting corrosion of underlying Cu surfaces. The presented approach for catalyst-free methanol dehydrogenation on copper electrodes can improve the overall sustainability of fuel cell technologies.

Abstract
Photosynthetic microbial fuel cells (pMFC) represent a promising approach for treating methanol (CH3OH) wastewater. However, their use is constrained by a lack of knowledge on the extracellular electron transfer capabilities of photosynthetic methylotrophs, especially when coupled with metal electrodes. This study assessed the CH3OH oxidation capabilities of Rhodobacter sphaeroides 2.4.1 in two-compartment pMFCs. A 3D nickel (Ni) foam modified with plasma-grown graphene (Gr) was used as an anode, nitrate mineral salts media (NMS) supplemented with 0.1% CH3OH as anolyte, carbon brush as cathode, and 50 mM ferricyanide as catholyte. Two simultaneous pMFCs that used bare Ni foam and carbon felt served as controls. The Ni/Gr electrode registered a two-fold lower charge transfer resistance (0.005 kΩ cm2) and correspondingly 16-fold higher power density (141 mW/m2) compared to controls. The underlying reasons for the enhanced performance of R. sphaeroides at the graphene interface were discerned. The real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis revealed the upregulation of cytochrome c oxidase, aa3 type, subunit I gene, and Flp pilus assembly protein genes in the sessile cells compared to their planktonic counterparts. The key EET pathways used for sustaining CH3OH oxidation were discussed.

Abstract
Modern society envisions hydrogen (H2) fuel to drive the transportation, industrial, and domestic sectors. Here, we explore use of graphene oxide nanoparticles (GO NPs) for greatly enhancing bio-H2 production by a consortium based on Thermoanaerobacterium thermosaccharolyticum spp. Thermophilic batch bioreactors were set up at 60 OC and initial pH of 8.5 to assess the effects of GO NPs supplements on biohydrogen production. Under optimal GO NPs loading of 10 mg/L, the supplemented system yielded ∼ 300% higher H2 yield (6.78 mol H2/mol sucrose) than control. Such an optimized system offered 73% H2 purity and 85% conversion efficiency by promoted the desirable acetate fermentation pathway. Miseq Illumina sequencing tests revealed that the optimal levels of GO NPs did not alter the microbial composition of consortium.

Abstract
The bacterial genus Methylococcus, which comprises aerobic thermotolerant methanotrophic cocci, was described half-a-century ago. Over the years, a member of this genus, Methylococcus capsulatus Bath, has become a major model organism to study genomic and metabolic basis of obligate methanotrophy. High biotechnological potential of fast-growing Methylococcus species, mainly as a promising source of feed protein, has also been recognized. Despite this big research attention, the currently cultured Methylococcus diversity is represented by members of the two species, M. capsulatus and M. geothermalis, while finished genome sequences are available only for two strains of these methanotrophs. This study extends the pool of phenotypically characterized Methylococcus strains with good-quality genome sequences by contributing four novel isolates of these bacteria from activated sludge, landfill cover soil, and freshwater sediments. The determined genome sizes of novel isolates varied between 3.2 and 4.0Mb. As revealed by the phylogenomic analysis, strains IO1, BH, and KN2 affiliate with M. capsulatus, while strain Mc7 may potentially represent a novel species. Highest temperature optima (45-50°C) and highest growth rates in bioreactor cultures (up to 0.3h-1) were recorded for strains obtained from activated sludge. The comparative analysis of all complete genomes of Methylococcus species revealed 4,485 gene clusters. Of these, pan-genome core comprised 2,331 genes (on average 51.9% of each genome), with the accessory genome containing 846 and 1,308 genes in the shell and the cloud, respectively. Independently of the isolation source, all strains of M. capsulatus displayed surprisingly high genome synteny and a striking similarity in gene content. Strain Mc7 from a landfill cover soil differed from other isolates by the high content of mobile genetic elements in the genome and a number of genome-encoded features missing in M. capsulatus, such as sucrose biosynthesis and the ability to scavenge phosphorus and sulfur from the environment.
