CSS 360 Lecture 4 Bacterial Diversity, Viruses, and Introduction to Bacterial Metabolism Last Lecture • We covered bacterial morphology, genetics, and mechanisms of genetic exchange • Any questions? Outline 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Discussion Questions from last week Review Reading assignment from week 2; Condron et al. Bacterial diversity Viruses and their role in natural systems Bacterial metabolism Enzymes I. Bacterial Diversity Haeckel’s Tree of Life from The Evolution of Man 1897 Anthropocentric Bacteria Bacterial Diversity • Tree of Life circa 1997 • Tree of Life circa 2009 • Based on sequenced genomes • Based on the 16S rRNA gene sequence, there are now approximately 25 PHYLA of bacteria • Aug 9, 2011 :: 1,921,179 16S rRNA sequences in the database • 97% identity of 16S rRNA gene is considered to be the same species • If this were applied to eukaryotes then all primates would be one species • PhylumClassOrderFamilyGenusSpeciesStrain 8 Australian agricultural soils under different treatments Clustered into groups within a 5% 16S rRNA gene sequence difference of one another Diversity was highest when stubble was incorporated into the soil Diversity was lowest when their was no stubble Soil Bacteria Same 8 ag samples ~100,000 sequences Score on the left is an indicator of % best match to the bacterial group on the top. This compares between what we have and have not cultured ~9% have 100% match to a cultured bacteria What Controls Bacterial Diversity? Lozupone and Knight, 2007 • Nothing has been proven • Salinity and pH • Moisture? Soil type? Temperature? Fierer and Jackson, 2005 II. Viruses • Cell-free element of genetic material • Nucleic acid core (DNA or RNA) • 20-300 nm • Living cell? • Can’t metabolize, grow or reproduce outside a host cell • They are obligate intracellular parasites • Can do all these within a host • Contain the genetic capacity to enter and capture the metabolic and reproductive machinery of the host Viral Morphology •Icosahedral (20 triangular faces) • Helical-resemble long rods • Enveloped • External membrane composed of lipids, proteins, and carbohydrates • Complex • Bacteriophage • Think about: • What are the similarities between a bacteriophage and a plasmid? Revisiting Bacteriophages • Infect all common bacteria • Up to 1011 g-1 soil • Two life cycles • lytic- takes over cell machinery, copies viral DNA, constructs new viruses, lysis of cell • lysogenic-”Hangs out”, does not enter lytic cycle, function similar to a plasmid, enters into bacterial chromosome • Called a prophage • When enters lytic cycle can take up pieces of bacterial DNA flanking the viral gene • Bacterial DNA also packed into head Revisiting Bacteriophages • Host specificity is narrow • Limited to 1 or a small group of species • Widely distributed in soils, but can only be found when the host bacterium is present • Important in transfer of genetic material • (lysogenic phase) • Possible role in controlling bacterial population • More important in aquatic systems than in soil • Degraded by proteases, bound to OM or CEC III. Bacterial Metabolism Two main groups of bacteria based on where they get their C from Where do Bacteria Get Their Energy? (Fixes CO2) Bacterial Metabolism • Problem: • Bacteria need C in order to build cell components • Monomers Polymers • This is an endergonic reaction • To get this energy bacteria need to somehow produce ATP (energy) in order to grow, construct cell structures, enzymes, etc. • They need an exergonic reaction • Carbon is in a reduced form in the environment • Bacteria oxidize this carbon • Every oxidation reaction is coupled to a reduction reaction • Transference of electrons from a donor to an acceptor • RED (reduction) OX (oxidation) reaction Redox Reactions LEO LEO the Lion Says GER Loss of Electrons is Oxidation GER Gain of Electrons is Reduction • Chemicals that accept electrons are REDUCED • Chemicals that donate electrons are OXIDIZED reduction In aerobic respiration: C6H12O6 (aq) + 6 O2 (g) → 6 CO2 (g) + 6 H2O (l) oxidation Redox “Power” • Energy is released during these redox reactions • Bacteria must “intercept” these electrons in order to produce energy • The goal of metabolism is to conserved the energy released during these reactions and converting it to ATP • There are different bacterial strategies for conserving this energy Redox “Power” • In respiration most are oxidizing organic matter • They couple this with reduction • There are many different electron acceptors and thus different methods of respiration • A “hill” that electrons flow down. The higher the placement on the “hill”, the higher the potential energy of that chemical when coupled with an oxidation reaction Oxidation of Organic Matter • Electron acceptor used in soils is driven by the redox potential of a soil • Respiration energy yield becomes lower as O2 is more limiting • Anaerobic respiration Oxidation of Organic Matter • Microaggregate from Lecture 1 • Reducing conditions increase towards the interior of the aggregate CO2 CH4 SO42- HS- O2 H2O NO3- N2 Fe3+ Fe2+ Aerobic Respiration Requires O2 for two purposes: 1.A terminal acceptor for e- that are released during oxidation of organic substrates 2.As a reactant during enzymatic attack of organic substrates and inorganic compounds. Greater energy yield during aerobic breakdown due to: 1.Complete oxidation of C atoms to CO2 2.A high positive reduction potential. A large difference between e- donor and oxygen. (the steepest electron “hill”) Nitrate Respiration Anaerobic Metabolism 3 1 2a 2 1. Nitrate is transported into the cell 2. Nitrate is reduced to nitrite (NO3- NO2-) 2a. Electrons are transferred to NADH and protons move out of the cell (PMF), generating ATP 3. Nitrite is toxic so it is transported out of the cell 4. Through a series of steps nitrite is converted to N2 (more in Nitrogen lecture) Anaerobic Metabolism Iron Respiration Oxidation of acetate coupled with reduction of Fe3+ to Fe2+ • Prevalent in soils • Oxidize organic compounds • Forms oxidized root channels in soils that are reduced • Siderophores for Fe chelation OR nanowires Decreasing Energy Yield Extracellular Enzyme Activity Oxygen Reduction Nitrate Reduction Organic Matter Simple Organic Compounds CO2 Bioavailable Nutrients Manganese Reduction Iron Reduction Fermentation Short-chain Fatty Acids Hydrogen Sulfate Reduction CO2 Reduction CH4 Bioavailable Nutrients Fermentation • Anaerobic metabolism (not respiration) • Hydrogen gas is common by-product • H2 consumed by sulfate reducers and methanogens • Instead of pyruvate going into the Kreb’s cycle it is reduced to lactate to regenerate NAD+ • 2 ATP produced vs 38 in aerobic respiration C6H12O6 → 2 C2H5OH + 2 CO2 glucose to ethanol (beer, wine) C6H12O6 → 2 CH3CHOHCOOH glucose to lactic acid (sour yogurt) C12H22O11 + H2O → 4 CH3CHOHCOOH lactose to lactate (yogurt, cheese) Anaerobic Metabolism Sulfate Respiration 4H2 + SO42- H2S + 2H2O + 2OH • Among the oldest bacteria on Earth ~3 billion yrs ago • Strict anaerobes • Important in oceans and coastal wetlands • May rely on fermentation produced H2 or organic acids • H2S is very toxic to aerobic organisms • Leads to death of roots in waterlogged soils • Microbes responsible are strict anaerobes • Produce a black layer under golf course greens by using organic matter in root exudates to reduce soil sulfates to ferrous sulfates • H2S pollutes canals of Venice, so the water turns black Anaerobic Metabolism Methanogenesis • Formation of methane (CH4) • “Last” step in organic matter decay process • O2 absent, other e- acceptors are used up • H2 and CO2 concentrations increase • Fermentation products are also available (short chain fatty acids) •Without methanogenesis C would accrete in anaerobic environments CO2 + 4 H2 → CH4 + 2H2O Example of CO2 as electron acceptor CH3COOH → CH4 + CO2 Example of acetate as electron acceptor IV. Enzymes Detrital Matter Extracellular Enzyme Hydrolysis Leaching Erosion Complex Polymers Monomers Celluloses; Hemicelluloses; Proteins: Lipids and Waxes; Lignin Sugars; Amino acids; Fatty acids Catabolism Electron Acceptors End products CO2 H2O, nutrients H2S, CH4, and others End products + energy Monomers [e- donor] [Bacterial Cell] Enzymes: Highly specialized proteins S+E S=Substrate ES E=Enzyme E+P P=Product Catalysts for biological reactions • Lower activation energy • Increase the rate of reaction • Activity lost if denatured • May contain cofactors or coenzymes such as metal ions or organic (vitamins) Properties of Enzymes 1. High reaction rates • rates of enzymatically catalyzed reactions are typically 106-1012 faster than uncatalyzed reactions 2. Mild reaction conditions • temperatures below 100°C, atmospheric pressure, nearly neutral pH 3. Specificity • enzymes have a high degree of specificity for their substrates 4. Regulation • the catalytic activity of many enzymes is modulated by concentrations of substances other than their products ---With some exceptions Reactions Without Enzymes Free Energy, G Transition state: peak of the energy barrier where decay to S or P is equally probable ΔG: activation energy for the reaction, difference in energy between ground state and transition state – enzymes reduce the transition state! S P S P Substrate (S): acted upon by the enzyme Product (P): product of the enzyme Active site: region of the enzyme where substrate binds and is converted to product Reactions With Enzymes Transition state: peak of the energy barrier where decay to S or P is equally probable Free Energy, G ΔGuncatalyzed EP ES ΔGcatalyzed S P S E+S P ES EP E+P Substrate (S): acted upon by the enzyme Product (P): product of the enzyme Enzyme (E): the catalyst Difference represents the lowering of the activation energy The active site is an enzyme’s catalytic center In most cases substrates are held in the active site by weak interactions – interactions typically involve groups of a few amino acids on the active site Catalyze the conversion of substrate to product. – A single enzyme molecule can catalyze thousands or more reactions a second. – Enzymes are unaffected by the reaction and are reusable. Cofactors- increase chemical reactivity of enzymes • Enzymes augment their chemical reactivity through the use of two types of enzyme cofactors: Small molecule coenzymes (loosely associated with enzyme structure) and prosthetic groups, an integral part of enzyme structure – adds chemical reactivity not present in 20 amino acids • metal ions such as Fe(II) – enables repeated cycles of oxidation/reduction • small molecule can donate or accept electrons while the larger protein remains unchanged Factors Controlling Enzyme Activities Rate of reaction Enzyme concentration: Why: More enzymes available to encounter/react with substrate molecules Enzyme Concentration Factors Controlling Enzyme Activities Substrate concentration Rate of reaction Vmax Vmax: Maximum reaction velocity ½Vmax Km: Substrate concentration at which reaction rates are half maximal, also called the Michaelis-Menten constant Km Substrate Concentration (enzyme concentration constant) Factors Controlling Enzyme Activities Temperature Percent Maximum Velocity 100 80 60 40 20 0 0 20 40 Temperature ºC 60 Factors Controlling Enzyme Activities pH Enzyme proteins are extremely sensitive to pH, although most enzymes are active near neutral pH there is variability trypsin Rate of reaction pepsin 0 2 4 6 8 10 10 What happens at low pH? -enzymes are proteins and their bonds (H-bonds) lose stability when pH is not optimum. This changes the shape of the enzyme molecule so substrate does not fit Extracellular Enzymes Enzymes that have crossed the cytoplasmic membrane of the microbial cell Can be: Exoenzymes: Released into the outside environment and not attached to its producer Ectoenzymes: Secreted from a cell but remain chemically bound to the outer membrane of the producer Most are: Hydrolytic: Involve addition of water molecules across the enzyme susceptible cleavage Table 1.
