Integration of Prokaryotic Genomics into the Unknown Microbe ID Lab Bert Eardley – Penn State, Berks & Dan Golemboski – Bellarmine University Background • Add-on to traditional introductory microbiology unknown identification lab; >6000 genome sequences available • Many faculty use their unsequenced research organisms as unknowns • Prerequisites: – Concurrent with microbiology lecture – Understanding of basic cellular metabolism • Identification of unknown bacterium, related to faculty/student research interests, using traditional biochemical analysis and subsequent genomic correlation to observed phenotypic traits – Examples: Carbohydrate utilization, antibiotic resistance, motility, anaerobic/aerobic, symbiotic capabilities, amino acid requirements, BioLog/API, etc. – Student develops hypothesis on identity of organism Background (cont’d) • Determine consistency of phenotypic analysis with genotype – Retrieve genomic sequence of each identified organism • Perform automated annotation (Rapid Annotation Using Subsystem Technology, RAST) • Compare computationally derived characteristics to observed • Rationalize inconsistencies between phenotype and genotype RAST Student Learning Goals • Predict which genes/subsystems should or should not be present • Integrate the annotated gene products into subsystems that can be used to identify pathways used to transform energy during growth • Illustrate the interdisciplinary nature of genomics • Correlate observed genotypes and phenotypes with ecological niche • Use sequence data to illustrate evolutionary relatedness by construction of phylogenetic trees Vision and Change Core Competencies • #1: Students design and perform experiments, make observations, formulate hypothesis about identity of unknowns, and predict gene content • #2: Statistical analysis, such as bootstrapping in phylogenetic tree construction; requires quantitative reasoning • #3: Compare phylogenetic trees with those generated by other students; metabolic modeling with RAST • #6: Use of sequence related technology to facilitate identification of organisms of clinical, commercial, and agricultural significance GCAT-SEEK Requirements • No sequencing will be required if publically available sequences are sufficient. • However, if the genome of an organism of interest has not been sequenced then appropriate technology will be utilized (i.e., MiSeq, Ion Torrent, 454) Computer/Program Requirements • Internet access, RAST account, MEGA Time Line • Pre-lab – Instructor selects strains of related genera as student unknowns • Students register for access to RAST (Rapid Annotation Using Subsystem Technology; http://rast.nmpdr.org/ ) • Lab 1 – Phenotypic identification of unknown • Traditional biochemical analysis in typical laboratory timeframe: 4 -6 lab periods; dependent on level of automation available - could be shorter (i.e., API) Time Line (cont’d) • Post-identification Lab 1 – Prior to lab • Retrieve genome sequence of proposed unknown type-strain – Submit sequence to RAST for automated annotation • Post-identification Lab 2 – – – – Identify subsystems associated with phenotypic traits Determine gene common to all identified organisms Using RAST, obtain selected gene sequence BLAST sequence and select orthologs of species identified by other students. Time Line (cont’d) • Post-identification Lab 3 – Use MEGA to align sequences from the BLAST search – Construct phylogenetic tree using MEGA – Discuss significance of bootstrap values – Discuss sequence divergence and how this is reflected in phylogenetic trees Bacillus indicus SJS 86 Bacillus subtilis 91 Exiguobacterium undae 100 Staphylococcus aureus Lactococcus lactis 37 100 Streptococcus pyogenes 13 Prochlorococcus marinus Geovibrio ferrireducens 25 Nitrospira moscoviensis Aquifex pyrophilus 80 35 Thermomicrobium roseum 62 49 Chloroflexus aurantiacus Corynebacterium callunae Streptomyces coelicolor 100 30 Oerskovia jenensis 48 66 Arthrobacter aurescens Neisseria gonorrhoeae 90 Aquaspirillum sinuosum 37 Pseudomonas aeruginosa 96 Acinetobacter johnsonii 65 75 Escherichia coli Helicobacter pylori Blastopirellula marina 90 Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus Chryseobacterium indologenes Pedobacter sandarakinus SJS 100 56 Cytophaga hutchinsonii 0.05 89 Lecture and Discussion Topics • Relationships between phenotypes, pathways, and genes • How many changes to the genome are necessary to define a species? • What role does gene expression play in the recognition of an observable phenotype? Assessment • Determine ability to identify organisms on the basis of phenotypic analysis using established reference manual(s) • Demonstrate ability to access database tools and perform RAST annotation of a genomic sequence • Determine ability to correlate genes to the particular phenotype • Determine ability to use BLAST to obtain orthologous sequences • Explain how genes diverge at the molecular level through the process of evolution • Determine students’ confidence in ability to construct phylogenetic tree showing relationships among a group of bacteria References • Tamura K, Peterson D, Peterson N, Stecher G, Nei M, and Kumar S (2011) MEGA5: Molecular Evolutionary Genetics Analysis using Maximum Likelihood, Evolutionary Distance, and Maximum Parsimony Methods.
