Filling gaps in our understanding of belowground plant traits across the world: an introduction to a Virtual Issue

The belowground world is one of the final frontiers in terrestrial ecology. The tangling of plant roots with the surrounding soil below is a lifeline for the humble forbs and towering trees above, and roots play a key role in shaping ecosystem carbon, water and nutrient cycling (Bardgett et al., 2014). Ecologists have long sought to better understand the ecosystem-scale consequences of differing plant strategies, above- and belowground, by relating plant characteristics, or traits, to plant function (Grime, 1977; Pregitzer, 2002). While developing trait–function linkages is arguably more difficult for plant traits that are hidden belowground, root and rhizosphere ecologists continue to fan out across grasslands and forests with their shovels, isotopes, and specialized cameras, seeking a better understanding of the secret lives of roots. Over the years, New Phytologist has served as a virtual town square for scientists to discuss their hard-won observations on the interplay among belowground plant traits, microbial activity, and edaphic and environmental conditions from biomes around the world (Norby & Jackson, 2000; Pregitzer, 2002; Matamala & Stover, 2013; Norby & Iversen, 2017). In this Editorial we highlight the newest papers that update and add to our understanding of the role of root and rhizosphere traits in broader ecosystem processes. We focused on papers published in New Phytologist between 1 January 2019 and 31 December 2020 and extended this window to papers still in ‘early view’ up to the time of writing. Because of the overwhelming number of papers, we did not include those with a decidedly genomic focus or that served primarily as data syntheses, reviews, insights or commentaries.

EXCHANGE Campaign 2 - Microbial Biomass Collapse (EC2-MBC): Carbon Availability Under Prolonged Flooding in Mid-Atlantic and Great Lakes Coastal Ecosystems

Our collective research focus is on investigating the interaction between carbon availability and microbial demands during prolonged flooding. Through laboratory experiments utilizing freshly collected soil samples from diverse transition zone environments, we aim to simulate flooding and understand the mechanisms governing carbon cycling under anoxic conditions. Our primary objective is to elucidate how carbon becomes available to microbes and how they utilize it, discerning between maintenance and investment processes. By examining soils from regions with differing native redox conditions, our aim is to gain comprehensive insights into carbon dynamics across various soil types. Future data types will be added to the ESS-DIVE data package as they are completed and will be version-controlled in the Change History section of EC2_MBC_README.pdf.

Modification and analysis of context-specific genome-scale metabolic models: methane-utilizing microbial chassis as a case study

ABSTRACT Context-specific genome-scale model (CS-GSM) reconstruction is becoming an efficient strategy for integrating and cross-comparing experimental multi-scale data to explore the relationship between cellular genotypes, facilitating fundamental or applied research discoveries. However, the application of CS modeling for non-conventional microbes is still challenging. Here, we present a graphical user interface that integrates COBRApy, EscherPy, and RIPTiDe, Python-based tools within the BioUML platform, and streamlines the reconstruction and interrogation of the CS genome-scale metabolic frameworks via Jupyter Notebook. The approach was tested using -omics data collected for Methylotuvimicrobium alcaliphilum 20Z R , a prominent microbial chassis for methane capturing and valorization. We optimized the previously reconstructed whole genome-scale metabolic network by adjusting the flux distribution using gene expression data. The outputs of the automatically reconstructed CS metabolic network were comparable to manually optimized i IA409 models for Ca-growth conditions. However, the CS model questions the reversibility of the phosphoketolase pathway and suggests higher flux via primary oxidation pathways. The model also highlighted unresolved carbon partitioning between assimilatory and catabolic pathways at the formaldehyde-formate node. Only a very few genes and only one enzyme with a predicted function in C1 metabolism, a homolog of the formaldehyde oxidation enzyme ( fae1-2 ), showed a significant change in expression in La-growth conditions. The CS-GSM predictions agreed with the experimental measurements under the assumption that the Fae1-2 is a part of the tetrahydrofolate-linked pathway. The cellular roles of the tungsten (W)-dependent formate dehydrogenase ( fdhAB ) and fae homologs ( fae1-2 and fae3 ) were investigated via mutagenesis. The phenotype of the f dhAB mutant followed the model prediction. Furthermore, a more significant reduction of the biomass yield was observed during growth in La-supplemented media, confirming a higher flux through formate. M. alcaliphilum 20Z R mutants lacking fae1-2 did not display any significant defects in methane or methanol-dependent growth. However, contrary to fae1, the fae1-2 homolog failed to restore the formaldehyde-activating enzyme function in complementation tests. Overall, the presented data suggest that the developed computational workflow supports the reconstruction and validation of CS-GSM networks of non-model microbes. IMPORTANCE The interrogation of various types of data is a routine strategy to explore the relationship between genotype and phenotype. An efficient approach for integrating and cross-comparing experimental multi-scale data in the context of whole-genome-based metabolic network reconstruction becomes a powerful tool that facilitates fundamental and applied research discoveries. The present study describes the reconstruction of a context-specific (CS) model for the methane-utilizing bacterium, Methylotuvimicrobium alcaliphilum 20Z R . M. alcaliphilum 20Z R is becoming an attractive microbial platform for the production of biofuels, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and bio-sorbents for capturing atmospheric methane. We demonstrate that this pipeline can help reconstruct metabolic models that are similar to manually curated networks. Furthermore, the model is able to highlight previously overlooked pathways, thus advancing fundamental knowledge of non-model microbial systems or promoting their development toward biotechnological or environmental implementations.

Soluble Iron Enhances Extracellular Electron Uptake by Shewanella oneidensis MR‐1

Abstract Extracellular electron transfer (EET) is a process that microorganisms use to reduce or oxidize external insoluble electron acceptors or donors. Much of our mechanistic understanding of this process is derived from studies of transmembrane cytochrome complexes and extracellular redox shuttles that mediate outward EET to anodes and external electron acceptors. In contrast, there are knowledge gaps concerning the reverse process of inward EET from external electron donors to cells. Here, we describe a role for soluble iron (exogenous FeCl 2 ) in enhancing EET from cathodes to the model EET bacterium Shewanella oneidensis MR‐1, with fumarate serving as the intracellular electron acceptor. This iron concentration‐dependent electron uptake was eradicated upon addition of an iron chelator and occurred only in the presence of fumarate reductase, confirming an electron pathway from cathodes to this periplasmic enzyme. Moreover, S. oneidensis mutants lacking specific outer membrane and periplasmic cytochromes exhibited significantly decreased current levels relative to wild‐type. These results indicate that soluble iron can function as an electron carrier to the EET machinery of S. oneidensis .

Impacts of directed evolution and soil management legacy on the maize rhizobiome

Domestication and agricultural intensification dramatically altered maize and its cultivation environment. Changes in maize genetics (G) and environmental (E) conditions increased productivity under high-synthetic-input conditions. However, novel selective pressures on the rhizobiome may have incurred undesirable tradeoffs in organic agroecosystems, where plants obtain nutrients via microbially mediated processes including mineralization of organic matter. Using twelve maize genotypes representing an evolutionary transect (teosintes, landraces, inbred parents of modern elite germplasm, and modern hybrids) and two agricultural soils with contrasting long-term management, here we integrated analyses of rhizobiome community structure, potential microbe-microbe interactions, and N-cycling functional genes to better understand the impacts of maize evolution and soil management legacy on rhizobiome recruitment. We show complex shifts in rhizobiome communities during directed evolution of maize (defined as the transition from teosinte to modern hybrids), with a larger effect of domestication (teosinte to landraces) than modern breeding (inbreds to hybrids) on rhizobiome structure and greater impacts of modern breeding on potential microbe-microbe interactions. Rhizobiome structure was significantly correlated with plant nutrient composition. Furthermore, plant biomass and nutrient content were affected by G x E interactions in which teosinte and landrace genotypes had better relative performance in the organic legacy soil than inbred and modern genotypes. The abundance of six N-cycling genes of relevance for plant nutrition and N loss pathways did not significantly differ between teosinte and modern rhizospheres in either soil management legacy. These results provide insight into the potential for improving maize adaptation to organic systems and contribute to interdisciplinary efforts toward developing resource-efficient, biologically based agroecosystems.

TreeSAPP: the Tree-based Sensitive and Accurate Phylogenetic Profiler

Microbial communities drive matter and energy transformations integral to global biogeochemical cycles, yet many taxonomic groups facilitating these processes remain poorly represented in biological sequence databases. Due to this missing information, taxonomic assignment of sequences from environmental genomes remains inaccurate. We present the Tree-based Sensitive and Accurate Phylogenetic Profiler (TreeSAPP) software for functionally and taxonomically classifying genes, reactions and pathways from genomes of cultivated and uncultivated microorganisms using reference packages representing coding sequences mediating multiple globally relevant biogeochemical cycles. TreeSAPP uses linear regression of evolutionary distance on taxonomic rank to improve classifications, assigning both closely related and divergent query sequences at the appropriate taxonomic rank. TreeSAPP is able to provide quantitative functional and taxonomic classifications for both assembled and unassembled sequences and files supporting interactive tree of life visualizations.

Distinct microbiomes underlie divergent responses of methane emissions from diverse wetland soils to oxygen shifts

Abstract Hydrological shifts in wetlands, a globally important methane (CH4) source, are critical constraints on CH4 emissions and carbon-climate feedbacks. A limited understanding of how hydrologically driven oxygen (O2) variability affects microbial CH4 cycling in diverse wetlands makes wetland CH4 emissions uncertain. Transient O2 exposure significantly stimulated anoxic CH4 production in incubations of Sphagnum peat from a temperate bog by enriching for polyphenol oxidizers and polysaccharide degraders, enhancing substrate flow toward methanogenesis under subsequent anoxic conditions. To assess whether shifts in soil microbiome structure and function operate similarly across wetland types, here we examined the sensitivity of different wetland soils to transient oxygenation. In slurry incubations of Sphagnum peat from a minerotrophic fen, and sediments from a freshwater marsh and saltmarsh, we examined temporal shifts in microbiomes coupled with geochemical characterization of slurries and incubation headspaces. Oxygenation did not affect microbiome structure and anoxic CH4 production in mineral-rich fen-origin peat and freshwater marsh soils. Key taxa linked to O2-stimulated CH4 production in the bog-origin peat were notably rare in the fen-origin peat, supporting microbiome structure as a primary determinant of wetland response to O2 shifts. In contrast to freshwater wetland experiments, saltmarsh geochemistry—particularly pH—and microbiome structure were persistently and significantly altered postoxygenation, albeit with no significant impact on greenhouse gas emissions. These divergent responses suggest wetlands may be differentially resistant to O2 fluctuations. With climate change driving greater O2 variability in wetlands, our results inform mechanisms of wetland resistance and highlight microbiome structure as a potential resiliency biomarker.

Discovery of an Antarctic Ascidian-Associated Uncultivated Verrucomicrobia with Antimelanoma Palmerolide Biosynthetic Potential

The Antarctic marine ecosystem harbors a wealth of biological and chemical innovation that has risen in concert over millennia since the isolation of the continent and formation of the Antarctic circumpolar current. Scientific inquiry into the novelty of marine natural products produced by Antarctic benthic invertebrates led to the discovery of a bioactive macrolide, palmerolide A, that has specific activity against melanoma and holds considerable promise as an anticancer therapeutic. While this compound was isolated from the Antarctic ascidian Synoicum adareanum, its biosynthesis has since been hypothesized to be microbially mediated, given structural similarities to microbially produced hybrid nonribosomal peptide-polyketide macrolides. Here, we describe a metagenome-enabled investigation aimed at identifying the biosynthetic gene cluster (BGC) and palmerolide A-producing organism. A 74-kbp candidate BGC encoding the multimodular enzymatic machinery (hybrid type I-trans-AT polyketide synthase-nonribosomal peptide synthetase and tailoring functional domains) was identified and found to harbor key features predicted as necessary for palmerolide A biosynthesis. Surveys of ascidian microbiome samples targeting the candidate BGC revealed a high correlation between palmerolide gene targets and a single 16S rRNA gene variant (R = 0.83 to 0.99). Through repeated rounds of metagenome sequencing followed by binning contigs into metagenome-assembled genomes, we were able to retrieve a nearly complete genome (10 contigs) of the BGC-producing organism, a novel verrucomicrobium within the Opitutaceae family that we propose here as “Candidatus Synoicihabitans palmerolidicus.” The refined genome assembly harbors five highly similar BGC copies, along with structural and functional features that shed light on the host-associated nature of this unique bacterium.

Bacterial genome editing by coupling Cre-lox and CRISPR-Cas9 systems

The past decade has been a golden age for microbiology, marked by the discovery of an unprecedented increase in the number of novel bacterial species. Yet gaining biological knowledge of those organisms has not kept pace with sequencing efforts. To unlock this genetic potential there is an urgent need for generic (i.e. non-species specific) genetic toolboxes. Recently, we developed a method, termed chassis-independent recombinase-assisted genome engineering (CRAGE), enabling the integration and expression of large complex gene clusters directly into the chromosomes of diverse bacteria. Here we expand upon this technology by incorporating CRISPR-Cas9 allowing precise genome editing across multiple bacterial species. To do that we have developed a landing pad that carries one wild-type and two mutant lox sites to allow integration of foreign DNA at two locations through Cre-lox recombinase-mediated cassette exchange (RMCE). The first RMCE event is to integrate the Cas9 and the DNA repair protein genes RecET, and the second RMCE event enables the integration of customized sgRNA and a repair template. Following this workflow, we achieved precise genome editing in four different gammaproteobacterial species. We also show that the inserted landing pad and the entire editing machinery can be removed scarlessly after editing. We report here the construction of a single landing pad transposon and demonstrate its functionality across multiple species. The modular design of the landing pad and accessory vectors allows design and assembly of genome editing platforms for other organisms in a similar way. We believe this approach will greatly expand the list of bacteria amenable to genetic manipulation and provides the means to advance our understanding of the microbial world.

BONCAT-FACS-Seq reveals the active fraction of a biocrust community undergoing a wet-up event

Determining which microorganisms are active within soil communities remains a major technical endeavor in microbial ecology research. One promising method to accomplish this is coupling bioorthogonal non-canonical amino acid tagging (BONCAT) with fluorescence activated cell sorting (FACS) which sorts cells based on whether or not they are producing new proteins. Combined with shotgun metagenomic sequencing (Seq), we apply this method to profile the diversity and potential functional capabilities of both active and inactive microorganisms in a biocrust community after being resuscitated by a simulated rain event. We find that BONCAT-FACS-Seq is capable of discerning the pools of active and inactive microorganisms, especially within hours of applying the BONCAT probe. The active and inactive components of the biocrust community differed in species richness and composition at both 4 and 21 h after the wetting event. The active fraction of the biocrust community is marked by taxa commonly observed in other biocrust communities, many of which play important roles in species interactions and nutrient transformations. Among these, 11 families within the Firmicutes are enriched in the active fraction, supporting previous reports indicating that the Firmicutes are key early responders to biocrust wetting. We highlight the apparent inactivity of many Actinobacteria and Proteobacteria through 21 h after wetting, and note that members of the Chitinophagaceae, enriched in the active fraction, may play important ecological roles following wetting. Based on the enrichment of COGs in the active fraction, predation by phage and other bacterial members, as well as scavenging and recycling of labile nutrients, appear to be important ecological processes soon after wetting. To our knowledge, this is the first time BONCAT-FACS-Seq has been applied to biocrust samples, and therefore we discuss the potential advantages and shortcomings of coupling metagenomics to BONCAT to intact soil communities such as biocrust. In all, by pairing BONCAT-FACS and metagenomics, we are capable of highlighting the taxa and potential functions that typifies the microbes actively responding to a rain event.

Computational Insights into Fuels and Chemicals Extraction from Microbial Biorefineries

Over the past two decades, substantial investments have been made in engineering microorganisms to produce specific fuels and chemicals as part of the global bioeconomy. Many target molecules accumulate intracellularly, and a challenge is how to effectively extract the product from the cells without needing to destroy them due to the barrier imposed by the cell membrane. For some hydrophobic compounds, an organic overlay is an effective strategy for nondestructive product extraction, although the relationship between functional groups on the product and the rate of extraction are not well understood. Through both biased and unbiased molecular dynamics simulations for a range of fatty acyl compounds and terpenoids, we directly compute permeability coefficients for different steps of the extraction process. Via comparative analysis between the calculated permeability coefficients and observed interactions between the compounds and the membrane, we determine how the rate limiting steps vary depending on product chemistry. For instance, fatty aldehydes are found to transfer very rapidly across the membrane bilayer relative to alcohols, although their comparable rate of extraction into the organic phase makes them equally effective at extraction from the cell. In assessing the terpenoids, it is found that in general a modestly hydrophilic product improves desorption rates into an organic phase sufficiently to make up for their lower bilayer crossing rate. With this new insight, we can more effectively engineer microorganisms towards the production of these modestly hydrophilic fuel precursors or chemicals.

The HypA and HypB metallochaperones from Methanococcus maripaludis have unique metal-binding properties and a distinct nickel transfer mechanism

[NiFe] hydrogenases are widespread microbial metalloenzymes that catalyze the reversible conversion of hydrogen (H2) to protons and electrons, playing key roles in energy metabolism. The biosynthesis of the NiFe(CN) 2 CO cofactor involves a suite of maturation proteins, including the HypA and HypB nickel metallochaperones. Here, we define the metal-binding properties, nucleotide-dependent behavior, and functional interplay of HypA and HypB from the hydrogenotrophic methanogenic archaeon, Methanococcus maripaludis . Methanogens have multiple essential nickel-dependent enzymes, so they require efficient systems for nickel delivery that remain largely unexplored. Purified M. maripaludis HypA binds zinc or mononuclear iron at the C-terminal metal binding site, the latter of which has not been reported in other HypA proteins and may serve a unique regulatory role in methanogens. The G-protein metallochaperone HypB binds nickel at the G-domain, which stimulates GTPase activity. Size exclusion chromatography experiments reveal that HypA and HypB form complexes in the presence of nickel, and zinc-bound HypA is optimized for nickel transfer from HypB. The identity of the nucleotide bound to HypB (GDP or GTP) alters the oligomeric state of HypA-HypB complexes, supporting a GTPase-mediated nickel delivery pathway. The HypA-HypB 2 complex configuration is enriched and stable in the presence of GDP and nickel, indicating that this complex delivers nickel to the hydrogenase as opposed to HypA alone. Interestingly, affinity purification-mass spectrometry revealed that HypB interacts with several nickel-dependent proteins, suggesting that HypB may play a broader role in nickel homeostasis in M. maripaludis . Together, this work establishes a biochemical framework for HypAB-mediated nickel trafficking in methanogens.

Reduction of Hg II by Mn II

The reduction of Hg II to Hg I or Hg 0 can lead to significant changes in Hg toxicity and mobility in the environment. Photochemical reduction is the primary process for the reduction of Hg II to Hg 0 in sunlit environments; however, dark reduction of HgII can occur via microbial metabolic processes and/or reduction by reduced natural organic matter, Fe II mineral phases, Fe II sorbed to minerals, or aqueous Fe II . Here, in this study, we demonstrate a novel Hg II reduction pathway involving another environmentally relevant reductant, Mn II . Abiotic reduction of Hg II O by Mn II was studied as a function of pH and anion environment (perchlorate, sulfate, chloride) using X-ray absorption spectroscopy to characterize the solid-phase Hg and Mn species. At circumneutral pH of 7.5, about 70% of Hg II was reduced to elemental Hg 0 within 2 h. In contrast, 12 h were needed to achieve the same extent of reduction at pH 6.9. In the presence of sulfate and chloride, Hg I species were formed. Hg II reduction was initially rapid and coupled with the oxidation of soluble Mn II -oxides to insoluble Mn IV -oxides, followed by a significantly slower reduction of Hg II during the Mn II -catalyzed transformation of the Mn IV -oxides to hydroxide and oxyhydroxide minerals. The observed reduction of Hg II by Mn II at circumneutral pH could be an important transformation pathway for environmental Hg, affecting its bioavailability and mobility under mildly reducing conditions.
