Abstract
Versatility in carbon source utilization assists Pseudomonas aeruginosa in its adaptation to various niches. Recently, we characterized the role of malonate, an understudied carbon source, in quorum sensing regulation, antibiotic resistance, and virulence factor production in P. aeruginosa . These results indicate that global responses to malonate metabolism remain to be uncovered. We leveraged a publicly available metabolomic dataset on human airway and found malonate to be as abundant as glycerol, a common airway metabolite and carbon source for P. aeruginosa . Here, we explored and compared adaptations of P. aeruginosa UCBPP-PA14 (PA14) in response to malonate or glycerol as a sole carbon source using transcriptomics and phenotypic assays. Malonate utilization activated glyoxylate and methylcitrate cycles and induced several stress responses, including oxidative, anaerobic, and metal stress responses associated with increases in intracellular aluminum and strontium. Some induced genes were required for optimal growth of P. aeruginosa in malonate. To assess the conservation of malonate-associated responses among P. aeruginosa strains, we compared our findings in strain PA14 with other lab strains and cystic fibrosis isolates of P. aeruginosa . Most strains grew on malonate as a sole carbon source as efficiently as or better than glycerol. While not all responses to malonate were conserved among strains, formation of biomineralized biofilm-like aggregates, increased tolerance to kanamycin, and increased susceptibility to norfloxacin were the most frequently observed phenotypes. Our findings reveal global remodeling of P. aeruginosa gene expression during its growth on malonate as a sole carbon source that is accompanied by several important phenotypic changes. These findings add to accumulating literature highlighting the role of different carbon sources in the physiology of P. aeruginosa and its niche adaptation. Importance Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a notorious pathogen that causes local and systemic infections in immunocompromised individuals. Different carbon sources can uniquely modulate metabolic and virulence pathways in P. aeruginosa , highlighting the importance of the environment that the pathogen occupies. In this work, we used a combination of transcriptomic analysis and phenotypic assays to determine how malonate utilization impacts P. aeruginosa, as recent evidence indicates this carbon source may be relevant to certain niches associated within the human host. We found that malonate utilization can induce global stress responses, alter metabolic circuits, and influence various phenotypes of P. aeruginosa that could influence host colonization. Investigating the metabolism of malonate provides insight into P. aeruginosa adaptations to specific niches where this substrate is abundant, and how it can be leveraged in the development of much-needed antimicrobial agents or identification of new therapeutic targets of this difficult-to-eradicate pathogen.

Abstract
Probing the entirety of any species metabolome is an analytical grand challenge, especially on a cellular scale. Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry imaging (MALDI-MSI) is a common spatial metabolomics assay, but this technique has limited molecular coverage for several reasons. To expand the application space of spatial metabolomics, we developed an on-tissue chemical derivatization (OTCD) workflow using 4-APEBA for the confident identification of several dozen elusive phytocompounds. Overall, this new OTCD method enabled the annotation of roughly 280 metabolites, with only a 10% overlap in metabolic coverage when compared to analog negative ion mode MALDI-MSI on serial sections. We demonstrate that 4-APEBA outperforms other derivatization agents by providing: (1) broad specificity toward carbonyls, (2) low background, and (3) introduction of bromine isotopes. Notably, the latter two attributes also facilitate more confidence in our bioinformatics for data processing. The workflow detailed here trailblazes a path toward spatial hormonomics within plant samples, enhancing the detection of carboxylates, aldehydes, and plausibly other carbonyls. As such, several phytohormones, which have various roles within stress responses and cellular communication, can now be spatially profiled, as demonstrated in poplar root and soybean root nodule.

Abstract
Information on disease process and pathogenicity mechanisms is important for understanding plant disease. Spring black stem and leaf spot caused by the necrotrophic pathogen Phoma medicaginis var. medicaginis Malbr. & Roum causes large losses to alfalfa. However, till now, little is known about alfalfa-P. medicagnis interactions and the pathogenicity mechanisms of the pathogen. Here, alfalfa inoculated with P. medicaginis was subjected to GC-MS based metabolic profiling. The metabolic response in P. medicaginis-inoculated and mock-inoculated alfalfa leaves was assessed at 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 26 and 28 days post inoculation. In total, 101 peaks were detected in the control and inoculated groups, from which 70 metabolites were tentatively identified. Using multivariate analysis, 16 significantly regulated compounds, including amino acids, nitrogen-containing compounds and organic acids, polyols, fatty acids, and sugars were tentatively identified (Variable importance values, VIP>1.0 and p <0.05). Among these metabolites, the levels of malate, 5-oxoproline, palmitic acid and stearic acid were increased significantly in P. medicaginis-infected alfalfa leaves compared to the controls. In contrast, the levels ofγ-aminobutyric acid and 2-pyrrolidinone were significantly decreased in infected leaves compared to the controls. Further metabolic pathway analysis of the 16 significantly regulated compounds demonstrated that glycolysis, the tricarboxylic acid cycle, and β-oxidation of fatty acids were significantly induced in the alfalfa leaves at later stages of P. medicaginis infection. The strong induction of tricarboxylic acid cycle pathways at later infection stages caused by the pathogen may induce senescence in the alfalfa leaves, leading to plant death. However, intermediate metabolites of these metabolic pathways, and inositol phosphate, glutathione, the metabolic pathways of some amino acids accumulated rapidly and strongly at early stages of infection, which may enhance the ability of alfalfa to resist necrotrophic P. medicaginis disease. Understanding metabolic pathways is essential for understanding pathogenesis.

Abstract
Plants engineer the rhizosphere to their advantage by secreting various nutrients and secondary metabolites. Coupling transcriptomic and metabolomic analyses of the pea (Pisum sativum) rhizosphere, a suite of bioreporters has been developed in Rhizobium leguminosarum bv viciae strain 3841, and these detect metabolites secreted by roots in space and time. Fourteen bacterial lux fusion bioreporters, specific for sugars, polyols, amino acids, organic acids, or flavonoids, have been validated in vitro and in vivo. Using different bacterial mutants (nodC and nifH), the process of colonization and symbiosis has been analyzed, revealing compounds important in the different steps of the rhizobium-legume association. Dicarboxylates and sucrose are the main carbon sources within the nodules; in ineffective (nifH) nodules, particularly low levels of sucrose were observed, suggesting that plant sanctions affect carbon supply to nodules. In contrast, high myo-inositol levels were observed prior to nodule formation and also in nifH senescent nodules. Amino acid biosensors showed different patterns: a γ-aminobutyrate biosensor was active only inside nodules, whereas the phenylalanine bioreporter showed a high signal also in the rhizosphere. The bioreporters were further validated in vetch (Vicia hirsuta), producing similar results. In addition, vetch exhibited a local increase of nod gene-inducing flavonoids at sites where nodules developed subsequently. These bioreporters will be particularly helpful in understanding the dynamics of root exudation and the role of different molecules secreted into the rhizosphere.

Abstract
Transcriptional regulators in the LysR or GntR families are typically encoded in the genomic neighbourhood of bacterial genes for malonate degradation. While these arrangements have been evaluated using bioinformatics methods, experimental studies demonstrating co-transcription of predicted operons were lacking. Here, transcriptional regulation was characterized for a cluster of mdc genes that enable a soil bacterium, Acinetobacter baylyi ADP1, to use malonate as a carbon source. Despite previous assumptions that the mdc-gene set forms one operon, our studies revealed distinct promoters in two different regions of a nine-gene cluster. Furthermore, a single promoter is insufficient to account for transcription of mdcR, a regulatory gene that is convergent to other mdc genes. MdcR, a LysR-type transcriptional regulator, was shown to bind specifically to a site where it can activate mdc-gene transcription. Although mdcR deletion prevented growth on malonate, a 1 nt substitution in the promoter of mdcA enabled MdcR-independent growth on this carbon source. Regulation was characterized by methods including transcriptional fusions, quantitative reverse transcription PCR, reverse transcription PCR, 5'-rapid amplification of cDNA ends and gel shift assays. Moreover, a new technique was developed for transcriptional characterization of low-copy mRNA by increasing the DNA copy number of specific chromosomal regions. MdcR was shown to respond to malonate, in the absence of its catabolism. These studies contribute to ongoing characterization of the structure and function of a set of 44 LysR-type transcriptional regulators in A. baylyi ADP1.

Genomic characterization of Ensifer aridi, a proposed new species of nitrogen-fixing rhizobium recovered from Asian, African and American deserts. BMC Genomics 2017; 18:85. [PMID: 28088165 PMCID: PMC5237526 DOI: 10.1186/s12864-016-3447-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 22] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/25/2016] [Accepted: 12/20/2016] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Nitrogen fixing bacteria isolated from hot arid areas in Asia, Africa and America but from diverse leguminous plants have been recently identified as belonging to a possible new species of Ensifer (Sinorhizobium). In this study, 6 strains belonging to this new clade were compared with Ensifer species at the genome-wide level. Their capacities to utilize various carbon sources and to establish a symbiotic interaction with several leguminous plants were examined. Results Draft genomes of selected strains isolated from Morocco (Merzouga desert), Mexico (Baja California) as well as from India (Thar desert) were produced. Genome based species delineation tools demonstrated that they belong to a new species of Ensifer. Comparison of its core genome with those of E. meliloti, E. medicae and E. fredii enabled the identification of a species conserved gene set. Predicted functions of associated proteins and pathway reconstruction revealed notably the presence of transport systems for octopine/nopaline and inositol phosphates. Phenotypic characterization of this new desert rhizobium species showed that it was capable to utilize malonate, to grow at 48 °C or under high pH while NaCl tolerance levels were comparable to other Ensifer species. Analysis of accessory genomes and plasmid profiling demonstrated the presence of large plasmids that varied in size from strain to strain. As symbiotic functions were found in the accessory genomes, the differences in symbiotic interactions between strains may be well related to the difference in plasmid content that could explain the different legumes with which they can develop the symbiosis. Conclusions The genomic analysis performed here confirms that the selected rhizobial strains isolated from desert regions in three continents belong to a new species. As until now only recovered from such harsh environment, we propose to name it Ensifer aridi. The presented genomic data offers a good basis to explore adaptations and functionalities that enable them to adapt to alkalinity, low water potential, salt and high temperature stresses. Finally, given the original phylogeographic distribution and the different hosts with which it can develop a beneficial symbiotic interaction, Ensifer aridi may provide new biotechnological opportunities for degraded land restoration initiatives in the future.

Abstract
To better understand the behavior of Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. glycines, the causal agent of bacterial pustule of soybean within its host, its global transcriptome within soybean leaves was compared with that in a minimal medium in vitro, using deep sequencing of mRNA. Of 5,062 genes predicted from a draft genome of X. axonopodis pv. glycines, 534 were up-regulated in the plant, while 289 were down-regulated. Genes encoding YapH, a cell-surface adhesin, as well as several others encoding cell-surface proteins, were down-regulated in soybean. Many genes encoding the type III secretion system and effector proteins, cell wall-degrading enzymes and phosphate transporter proteins were strongly expressed at early stages of infection. Several genes encoding RND multidrug efflux pumps were induced in planta and by isoflavonoids in vitro and were required for full virulence of X. axonopodis pv. glycines, as well as resistance to soybean phytoalexins. Genes encoding consumption of malonate, a compound abundant in soybean, were induced in planta and by malonate in vitro. Disruption of the malonate decarboxylase operon blocked growth in minimal media with malonate as the sole carbon source but did not significantly alter growth in soybean, apparently because genes for sucrose and fructose uptake were also induced in planta. Many genes involved in phosphate metabolism and uptake were induced in planta. While disruption of genes encoding high-affinity phosphate transport did not alter growth in media varying in phosphate concentration, the mutants were severely attenuated for growth in soybean. This global transcriptional profiling has provided insight into both the intercellular environment of this soybean pathogen and traits used by X. axonopodis pv. glycines to promote disease.
