Autotrophic growth and ethanol production enabled by diverting acetate flux in the metabolically engineered Moorella thermoacetica

Gas fermentation is a promising biological process for the conversion of CO2 or syngas into valuable chemicals. Homoacetogens are microorganisms growing autotrophically using CO2 and H2 or CO and metabolizing them to form acetate coupled with energy conservation. The challenge in the metabolic engineering of the homoacetogens is divergence of the acetate formation, whose intermediate is acetyl-CoA, to a targeted chemical with sufficient production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). In this study, we report that an engineered strain of the thermophilic homoacetogen Moorella thermoacetica, in which a pool of acetyl-CoA is diverted to ethanol without ATP production, can maintain autotrophic growth on syngas. We estimated the ATP production in the engineered strains under different gaseous compositions by considering redox-balanced metabolism for ethanol and acetate formation. The culture test showed that the combination of retaining a level of acetate production and supplying the energy-rich CO allowed maintenance of the autotrophic growth during ethanol production. In contrast, autotrophy was collapsed by complete elimination of the acetate pathway or supplementation of H2-CO2. We showed that the intracellular level of ATP was significantly lowered on H2-CO2 in consistent with the incompetence. In the meantime, the complete disruption of the acetate pathway resulted in the redox imbalance to produce ethanol from CO, albeit a small loss in the ATP production. Thus, preservation of a fraction of acetate formation is required to maintain sufficient ATP and balanced redox in CO-containing gases for ethanol production.

Lactate metabolism in strictly anaerobic microorganisms with a soluble NAD+ -dependent l-lactate dehydrogenase.

Lactate is a universal metabolite and energy source, yet the mode of lactate metabolism in many strictly anaerobic microorganisms is still enigmatic. This sparked us to investigate the biochemistry and bioenergetics of lactate metabolism in the model acetogenic bacterium Moorella thermoacetica. Growth and metabolism were dependent on CO2 and the chemiosmotic gradient. We discovered a l-lactate:NAD+ oxidoreductase (LDH) in cell-free extracts, exhibiting an average specific activity of 362.8± 22.9mU mg-1 . The enzyme was reversible, most active at 65°C and pH9, with Km values of 23.1± 3.7 mM for l-lactate and 273.3± 39.1μM for NAD+ . In-gel activity assays and mass spectrometric proteomics revealed that the ldh gene encoded the characterized LDH. Transcriptomic and genomic analyses showed that ldh expression was induced by lactate and there was a single nucleotide polymorphism near the predicted NAD+ binding site. Genes encoding central redox and energy metabolism complexes, such as, the energetic coupling site Ech2, menaquinone, and the electron bifurcating EtfABCX and MTHFR were also upregulated in cells grown on lactate. These findings ultimately lead to a redox-balanced metabolic model that shows how growth on lactate can proceed in a microorganism that only has a conventional NAD+ -reducing LDH.

Metabolic engineering of Moorella thermoacetica for thermophilic bioconversion of gaseous substrates to a volatile chemical

Gas fermentation is one of the promising bioprocesses to convert CO2 or syngas to important chemicals. Thermophilic gas fermentation of volatile chemicals has the potential for the development of consolidated bioprocesses that can simultaneously separate products during fermentation. This study reports the production of acetone from CO2 and H2, CO, or syngas by introducing the acetone production pathway using acetyl–coenzyme A (Ac-CoA) and acetate produced via the Wood–Ljungdahl pathway in Moorella thermoacetica. Reducing the carbon flux from Ac-CoA to acetate through genetic engineering successfully enhanced acetone productivity, which varied on the basis of the gas composition. The highest acetone productivity was obtained with CO–H2, while autotrophic growth collapsed with CO2–H2. By adding H2 to CO, the acetone productivity from the same amount of carbon source increased compared to CO gas only, and the maximum specific acetone production rate also increased from 0.04 to 0.09 g-acetone/g-dry cell/h. Our development of the engineered thermophilic acetogen M. thermoacetica, which grows at a temperature higher than the boiling point of acetone (58 °C), would pave the way for developing a consolidated process with simplified and cost-effective recovery via condensation following gas fermentation.

Cysteine: an overlooked energy and carbon source

Biohybrids composed of microorganisms and nanoparticles have emerged as potential systems for bioenergy and high-value compound production from CO2 and light energy, yet the cellular and metabolic processes within the biological component of this system are still elusive. Here we dissect the biohybrid composed of the anaerobic acetogenic bacterium Moorella thermoacetica and cadmium sulphide nanoparticles (CdS) in terms of physiology, metabolism, enzymatics and transcriptomic profiling. Our analyses show that while the organism does not grow on l-cysteine, it is metabolized to acetate in the biohybrid system and this metabolism is independent of CdS or light. CdS cells have higher metabolic activity, despite an inhibitory effect of Cd2+ on key enzymes, because of an intracellular storage compound linked to arginine metabolism. We identify different routes how cysteine and its oxidized form can be innately metabolized by the model acetogen and what intracellular mechanisms are triggered by cysteine, cadmium or blue light.

Koleobacter methoxysyntrophicus gen. nov., sp. nov., a novel anaerobic bacterium isolated from deep subsurface oil field and proposal of Koleobacteraceae fam. nov. and Koleobacterales ord. nov. within the class Clostridia of the phylum Firmicutes

An anaerobic thermophilic, rod-shaped bacterium possessing a unique non-lipid sheathed-like structure enveloping a single-membraned cell, designated strain NRmbB1T was isolated from at the deep subsurface oil field located in Yamagata Prefecture, Japan. Growth occurred with 40–60°C (optimum, 55°C), 0–2% (2%), NaCl and pH 6.0–8.5 (8.0). Fermentative growth with various sugars was observed. Glucose-grown cells generated acetate, hydrogen, pyruvate and lactate as the main end products. Syntrophic growth occurred with glucose, pyruvate and 3,4,5-trimethoxybenzoate in the presence of an H2-scavenging partner, and growth on 3,4,5-trimethoxybenzoate was only observed under syntrophic condition. The predominant cellular fatty acids were C16:0, iso-C16:0, anteiso-C15:0, and iso-C14:0. Respiratory quinone was not detected. The genomic G+C content was 40.8mol%. Based on 16S rRNA gene phylogeny, strain NRmbB1T belongs to a distinct order-level clade in the class Clostridia of the phylum Firmicutes, sharing low similarity with other isolated organisms (i.e., 87.5% for top hit Moorella thermoacetica DSM 2955T). In total, chemotaxonomic, phylogenetic and genomic characterization revealed that strain NRmbB1T (=KCTC 25035T, =JCM 39120T) represents a novel species of a new genus. In addition, we also propose the associated family and order as Koleobacteraceae fam. nov and Koleobacterales ord. nov., respectively.

Gas channel rerouting in a primordial enzyme: Structural insights of the carbon-monoxide dehydrogenase/acetyl-CoA synthase complex from the acetogen Clostridium autoethanogenum

Clostridium autoethanogenum, the bacterial model for biological conversion of waste gases into biofuels, grows under extreme carbon-monoxide (CO) concentrations. The strictly anaerobic bacterium derives its entire cellular energy and carbon from this poisonous gas, therefore requiring efficient molecular machineries for CO-conversion. Here, we structurally and biochemically characterized the key enzyme of the CO-converting metabolism: the CO-dehydrogenase/Acetyl-CoA synthase (CODH/ACS). We obtained crystal structures of natively isolated complexes from fructose-grown and CO-grown C. autoethanogenum cultures. Both contain the same isoforms and if the overall structure adopts the classic α2β2 architecture, comparable to the model enzyme from Moorella thermoacetica, the ACS binds a different position on the CODH core. The structural characterization of a proteolyzed complex and the conservation of the binding interface in close homologs rejected the possibility of a crystallization artefact. Therefore, the internal CO-channeling system, critical to transfer CO generated at the C-cluster to the ACS active site, drastically differs in the complex from C. autoethanogenum. The 1.9-Å structure of the CODH alone provides an accurate picture of the new CO-routes, leading to the ACS core and reaching the surface. Increased gas accessibility would allow the simultaneous CO-oxidation and acetyl-CoA production. Biochemical experiments showed higher flexibility of the ACS subunit from C. autoethanogenum compared to M. thermoacetica, albeit monitoring similar CO-oxidation and formation rates. These results show a reshuffling of internal CO-tunnels during evolution of these Firmicutes, putatively leading to a bidirectional complex that ensure a high flux of CO-conversion toward energy conservation, acting as the main cellular powerplant.

Negative-Stain Electron Microscopy Reveals Dramatic Structural Rearrangements in Ni-Fe-S-Dependent Carbon Monoxide Dehydrogenase/Acetyl-CoA Synthase

The Ni-Fe-S-containing A-cluster of acetyl-coenzyme A (CoA) synthase (ACS) assembles acetyl-CoA from carbon monoxide (CO), a methyl group (CH3+), and CoA. To accomplish this feat, ACS must bind CoA and interact with two other proteins that contribute the CO and CH3+, respectively: CO dehydrogenase (CODH) and corrinoid Fe-S protein (CFeSP). Previous structural data show that, in the model acetogen Moorella thermoacetica, domain 1 of ACS binds to CODH such that a 70-Å-long internal channel is created that allows CO to travel from CODH to the A-cluster. The A-cluster is largely buried and is inaccessible to CFeSP for methylation. Here we use electron microscopy to capture multiple snapshots of ACS that reveal previously uncharacterized domain motion, forming extended and hyperextended structural states. In these structural states, the A-cluster is accessible for methylation by CFeSP.

CobT and BzaC catalyze the regiospecific activation and methylation of the 5-hydroxybenzimidazole lower ligand in anaerobic cobamide biosynthesis

Vitamin B12 and other cobamides are essential cofactors required by many organisms and are synthesized by a subset of prokaryotes via distinct aerobic and anaerobic routes. The anaerobic biosynthesis of 5,6-dimethylbenzimidazole (DMB), the lower ligand of vitamin B12, involves five reactions catalyzed by the bza operon gene products, namely the hydroxybenzimidazole synthase BzaAB/BzaF, phosphoribosyltransferase CobT, and three methyltransferases, BzaC, BzaD, and BzaE, that conduct three distinct methylation steps. Of these, the methyltransferases that contribute to benzimidazole lower ligand diversity in cobamides remain to be characterized, and the precise role of the bza operon protein CobT is unclear. In this study, we used the bza operon from the anaerobic bacterium Moorella thermoacetica (comprising bzaA-bzaB-cobT-bzaC) to examine the role of CobT and investigate the activity of the first methyltransferase, BzaC. We studied the phosphoribosylation catalyzed by MtCobT and found that it regiospecifically activates 5-hydroxybenzimidazole (5-OHBza) to form the 5-OHBza-ribotide (5-OHBza-RP) isomer as the sole product. Next, we characterized the domains of MtBzaC and reconstituted its methyltransferase activity with the predicted substrate 5-OHBza and with two alternative substrates, the MtCobT product 5-OHBza-RP and its riboside derivative 5-OHBza-R. Unexpectedly, we found that 5-OHBza-R is the most favored MtBzaC substrate. Our results collectively explain the long-standing observation that the attachment of the lower ligand in anaerobic cobamide biosynthesis is regiospecific. In conclusion, we validate MtBzaC as a SAM:hydroxybenzimidazole-riboside methyltransferase (HBIR-OMT). Finally, we propose a new pathway for the synthesis and activation of the benzimidazolyl lower ligand in anaerobic cobamide biosynthesis.

Biochemical properties and crystal structure of formate-tetrahydrofolate ligase from Methylobacterium extorquens CM4

Methylobacterium extorquens is a methylotroph model organism that has the ability to assimilate formate using the tetrahydrofolate (THF) pathway. The formate-tetrahydrofolate ligase from M. extorquens (MeFtfL) is an enzyme involved in the THF pathway that catalyzes the conversion of formate, THF, and ATP into formyltetrahydrofolate and ADP. To investigate the biochemical properties of MeFtfL, we evaluated the metal usage and enzyme kinetics of the enzyme. MeFtfL uses the Mg ion for catalytic activity, but also has activity for Mn and Ca ions. The enzyme kinetics analysis revealed that Km value of farmate was much higher than THF and ATP, which shows that the ligation activity of MeFtfL is highly dependent on formation concentration. We also determined the crystal structure of MeFtfL at 2.8 Å resolution. MeFtfL functions as a tetramer, and each monomer consists of three domains. The structural superposition of MeFtfL with FtfL from Moorella thermoacetica allowed us to predict the substrate binding site of the enzyme.

Solar-Powered Organic Semiconductor-Bacteria Biohybrids for CO2 Reduction into Acetic Acid.

An organic semiconductor-bacteria biohybrid photosynthetic system is used to efficiently realize CO2 reduction to produce acetic acid with the non-photosynthetic bacteria Moorella thermoacetica. Perylene diimide derivative (PDI) and poly(fluorene-co-phenylene) (PFP) were coated on the bacteria surface as photosensitizers to form a p-n heterojunction (PFP/PDI) layer, affording higher hole/electron separation efficiency. The π-conjugated semiconductors possess excellent light-harvesting ability and biocompatibility, and the cationic side chains of organic semiconductors could intercalate into cell membranes, ensuring efficient electron transfer to bacteria. Moorella thermoacetica can thus harvest photoexcited electrons from the PFP/PDI heterojunction, driving the Wood-Ljungdahl pathway to synthesize acetic acid from CO2 under illumination. The efficiency of this organic biohybrid is about 1.6 %, which is comparable to those of reported inorganic biohybrid systems.

AbstractAn organic semiconductor–bacteria biohybrid photosynthetic system is used to efficiently realize CO2 reduction to produce acetic acid with the non‐photosynthetic bacteria Moorella thermoacetica.

QM/MM computations reveal details of the acetyl-CoA synthase catalytic center

The “open” (Aopen) and “closed” (Aclosed) A-clusters of the acteyl-CoA synthase (ACS) enzyme from Moorella thermoacetica have been studied using a combined quantum mechanical (QM)/molecular mechanical (MM) approach. Geometry optimizations of the oxidized, one- and two-electron reduced Aopen state have been carried out for the fully solvated ACS enzyme, and the CO ligand has been modeled in the reduced models. Using a combination of both αopen and αclosed protein scaffolds and the positions of metal atoms in these structures, we have been able to piece together critical parts of the catalytic cycle of ACS. We have replaced the unidentified exogenous ligand in the crystal structure with CO using both a square planar and tetrahedral proximal Ni atom. A one-electron reduced A-cluster that is characterized by a proximal Ni atom in a tetrahedral coordination pattern observed in both the Aopen (lower occupancy proximal Ni) and Aclosed (proximal Zn atom) geometries with three cysteine thiolates and a modeled CO ligand demonstrates excellent agreement with the crystal structure atomic positions, particularly with the displacement of the side chain ring of Phe512 which appears to serve as a structural gate for ligand binding. The QM/MM optimized geometry of the A-cluster of ACS with an uncoordinated, oxidized proximal nickel atom in a square planar geometry demonstrates poor agreement with the atomic coordinates taken from the crystal structure. Based on these calculations, we conclude that the square planar proximal nickel coordination that has been captured in the Aopen structure does not correspond to the ligand-free, oxidized [Fe4S4]2+ − Nip2+ − Nid2+ state. Overall, these computations shed further light on the mechanistic details of protein conformational changes and electronic transitions involved in the ACS catalytic cycle.

Organic waste streams as feedstock for the production of high volume-low value products.

Valorisation of organic wastes to produce industrially relevant commodity products is a sustainable, cost-effective and viable alternative providing a green platform for chemical production while simultaneously leading to waste disposal management. In the present study, organic wastes such as agricultural residue-derived sugars, oilseed meals, poultry waste and molasses were used for substituting expensive organic fermentation medium components. Moorella thermoacetica and Aurantiochytrium limacinum were adapted on these waste-derived hydrolysates to produce high volume-low value products such as bio-acetic acid (80% theoretical yields) and oil-rich fish/animal feed (more than 85% dry cell weight as compared with conventional nutrient sources) respectively. Use of these waste-derived nutrients led to ~ 75% and ~ 90% reduction in media cost for acetic acid and oil-rich biomass production respectively as compared with that of traditionally used high-priced medium components. The strategy will assist in the cost reduction for high volume-low value products while also ensuring waste recovery.

Genome-Based Comparison of All Species of the Genus Moorella, and Status of the Species Moorella thermoacetica and Moorella thermoautotrophica.

Fermentation of gases provides a promising opportunity for the production of biochemicals from renewable resources, which has resulted in a growing interest in acetogenic bacteria. Thermophilic organisms provide potential advantages for the fermentation of, e.g., syngas into for example volatile compounds, and the thermophiles Moorella thermoacetica and Moorella thermoautotrophica have become model organisms of acetogenic metabolism. The justification for the recognition of the closely related species M. thermoautotrophica has, however, recently been disputed. In order to expand knowledge on the genus, we have here genome sequenced a total of 12 different M. thermoacetica and M. thermoautotrophica strains. From the sequencing results, it became clear that M. thermoautotrophica DSM 1974T consists of at least two different strains. Two different strains were isolated in Lyngby and Ulm from a DSM 1974T culture obtained from the DSMZ (Leibniz-Institut DSMZ-Deutsche Sammlung von Mikroorganismen und Zellkulturen GmbH, Brunswick, Germany). Phylogenetic analysis revealed a close relationship between all the sequenced genomes, suggesting that the two strains detected in the type strain of the species M. thermoautotrophica could not be distinguished at the species level from M. thermoacetica. Despite genetic similarities, differences in genomic features were observed between the strains. Differences in compounds that can serve as carbon and energy sources for selected strains were also identified. On the contrary, strain DSM 21394, currently still named M. thermoacetica, obviously represents a new Moorella species. In addition, based on genome analysis and comparison M. glycerini NMP, M. stamsii DSM 26217T, and M. perchloratireducens An10 cannot be distinguished at the species level. Thus, this comprehensive analysis provides a significantly increased knowledge of the genetic diversity of Moorella strains.

Ethanol yield and sugar usability in thermophilic ethanol production from lignocellulose hydrolysate by genetically engineered Moorella thermoacetica

Bioconversion from inexpensive renewable resource, such as biomass, to liquid fuel is one of the promising technologies to reduce the use of petroleum. We previously reported the genetically engineered Moorella thermoacetica could produce ethanol from the lignocellulosic feedstock. However, it was still unclear which carbon source in the substrate was preferentially consumed to produce ethanol. To identify the hierarchy of the sugar utilization during ethanol fermentation of this strain, we analyzed the sugar composition of lignocellulosic feedstock, and consumption rate of sugars during the fermentation process. The hydrolysates after acid pretreatment and enzymatic saccharification contained glucose, xylose, galactose, arabinose, and mannose. Time course data suggested that xylose was the most preferred carbon source among those sugars during ethanol fermentation. Ethanol yield was 0.40 ± 0.06 and 0.40 ± 0.12g/g-total sugar, from lignocellulosic hydrolysates of Japanese cedar (Cryptomeria japonica) and rice straw (Oryza sativa), respectively. The results demonstrated that the genetically engineered M.thermoacetica is a promising candidate for thermophilic ethanol fermentation of lignocellulosic feedstocks, especially hemicellulosic sugars.

Genome-wide systematic identification of methyltransferase recognition and modification patterns

Genome-wide analysis of DNA methylation patterns using single molecule real-time DNA sequencing has boosted the number of publicly available methylomes. However, there is a lack of tools coupling methylation patterns and the corresponding methyltransferase genes. Here we demonstrate a high-throughput method for coupling methyltransferases with their respective motifs, using automated cloning and analysing the methyltransferases in vectors carrying a strain-specific cassette containing all potential target sites. To validate the method, we analyse the genomes of the thermophile Moorella thermoacetica and the mesophile Acetobacterium woodii, two acetogenic bacteria having substantially modified genomes with 12 methylation motifs and a total of 23 methyltransferase genes. Using our method, we characterize the 23 methyltransferases, assign motifs to the respective enzymes and verify activity for 11 of the 12 motifs.

Synergistic substrate cofeeding stimulates reductive metabolism.

Advanced bioproduct synthesis via reductive metabolism requires coordinating carbons, ATP and reducing agents, which are generated with varying efficiencies depending on metabolic pathways. Substrate mixtures with direct access to multiple pathways may optimally satisfy these biosynthetic requirements. However, native regulation favouring preferential use precludes cells from co-metabolizing multiple substrates. Here we explore mixed substrate metabolism and tailor pathway usage to synergistically stimulate carbon reduction. By controlled cofeeding of superior ATP and NADPH generators as 'dopant' substrates to cells primarily using inferior substrates, we circumvent catabolite repression and drive synergy in two divergent organisms. Glucose doping in Moorella thermoacetica stimulates CO2 reduction (2.3 g gCDW-1 h-1) into acetate by augmenting ATP synthesis via pyruvate kinase. Gluconate doping in Yarrowia lipolytica accelerates acetate-driven lipogenesis (0.046 g gCDW-1 h-1) by obligatory NADPH synthesis through the pentose cycle. Together, synergistic cofeeding produces CO2-derived lipids with 38% energy yield and demonstrates the potential to convert CO2 into advanced bioproducts. This work advances the systems-level control of metabolic networks and CO2 use, the most pressing and difficult reduction challenge.

Distribution, Evolution, Catalytic Mechanism, and Physiological Functions of the Flavin-Based Electron-Bifurcating NADH-Dependent Reduced Ferredoxin: NADP+ Oxidoreductase.

NADH-dependent reduced ferredoxin:NADP+ oxidoreductase (Nfn) is an electron-bifurcating enzyme first discovered in the strict anaerobes Clostridium kluyveri and Moorella thermoacetica. In vivo, Nfn catalyzes the endergonic reduction of NADP+ with NADH coupled to the exergonic reduction of NADP+ with reduced ferredoxin. Most Nfn homologs consist of two subunits, although in certain species Nfn homologs are fused. In contrast to other electron-bifurcating enzymes, Nfn possess a simpler structure. Therefore, Nfn becomes a perfect model to determine the mechanism of flavin-based electron bifurcation, which is a novel energy coupling mode distributed among anaerobic bacteria and archaea. The crystal structures of Nfn from Thermotoga maritima and Pyrococcus furiosus are known, and studies have shown that the FAD molecule of the NfnB (b-FAD) is the site of electron bifurcation, and other cofactors, including a [2Fe2S] cluster, two [4Fe4S] clusters, and the FAD molecule on the NfnA subunit, contribute to electron transfer. Further, the short-lived anionic flavin semiquinone (ASQ) state of b-FAD is essential for electron bifurcation. Nfn homologs are widely distributed among microbes, including bacteria, archaea, and probably eukaryotes, most of which are anaerobes despite that certain species are facultative microbes and even aerobes. Moreover, potential evidence shows that lateral gene transfer may occur in the evolution of this enzyme. Nfn homologs present four different structural patterns, including the well-characterized NfnAB and three different kinds of fused Nfn homologs whose detailed properties have not been characterized. These findings indicate that gene fusion/fission and gene rearrangement may contribute to the evolution of this enzyme. Under physiological conditions, Nfn catalyzes the reduction of NADP+ with NADH and reduced ferredoxin, which is then used in certain NADPH-dependent reactions. Deletion of nfn in several microbes causes low growth and redox unbalance and may influence the distribution of fermentation products. It’s also noteworthy that different Nfn homologs perform different functions according to its circumstance. Physiological functions of Nfn indicate that it can be a potential tool in the metabolic engineering of industrial microorganisms, which can regulate the redox potential in vivo.
