The gene neighborhood in prokaryotic genomes has been effectively utilized in inferring co-functional networks in various organisms. Previously, such genomic context information has been sought among completely assembled prokaryotic genomes. Here, we present a method to infer functional gene networks according to the gene neighborhood in metagenome contigs, which are incompletely assembled genomic fragments. Given that the amount of metagenome sequence data has now surpassed that of completely assembled prokaryotic genomes in the public domain, we expect benefits of inferring networks by the metagenome-based gene neighborhood. We generated co-functional networks for diverse taxonomical species using metagenomics contigs derived from the human microbiome and the ocean microbiome. We found that the networks based on the metagenome gene neighborhood outperformed those based on 1748 completely assembled prokaryotic genomes. We also demonstrated that the metagenome-based gene neighborhood could predict genes related to virulence-associated phenotypes in a bacterial pathogen, indicating that metagenome-based functional links could be sufficiently predictive for some phenotypes of medical importance. Owing to the exponential growth of metagenome sequence data in public repositories, metagenome-based inference of co-functional networks will facilitate understanding of gene functions and pathways in diverse species. 相似文献

Microbial communities in biogas batch fermentations, using straw and hay as co-substrates, were analyzed at the gene and protein level by metagenomic and metaproteomic approaches. The analysis of metagenomic data revealed that the Clostridiales and Bacteroidales orders were prevalent in the community. However, the number of sequences assigned to the Clostridiales order decreased during fermentation, whereas the number of sequences assigned to the Bacteroidales order increased. In addition, changes at the functional level were monitored and the metaproteomic analyses detected transporter proteins and flagellins, which were expressed mainly by members of the Bacteroidetes and Firmicutes phyla. A high number of sugar transporters, expressed by members of the Bacteroidetes, proved their potential to take up various glycans efficiently. Metagenome data also showed that methanogenic organisms represented less than 4% of the community, while 20–30% of the identified proteins were of archeal origin. These data suggested that methanogens were disproportionally active. 相似文献

The trend of recent researches, in which synthetic biology and white technology through system approaches based on “Omics
technology” are recognized as the ground of biotechnology, indicates the coming of the ‘metagenome era’ that accesses the
genomes of all microbes aiming at the understanding and industrial application of the whole microbial resources. The remarkable
advance of technologies for digging out and analyzing metagenome is enabling not only practical applications of metagenome
but also system approaches on a mixed-genome level based on accumulated information. In this situation, the present review
is purposed to introduce the trends and methods of research on metagenome and to examine big science led by related resources
in the future. 相似文献

Influence of Acidification and Warming of Seawater on Biofouling by Bacteria Grown over API 5L Steel
The acidification and warming of seawater have several impacts on marine organisms, including over microorganisms. The influence of acidification and warming of seawater on biofilms grown on API 5L steel surfaces was evaluated by sequencing the 16S ribosomal gene. For this, three microcosms were designed, the first simulating the natural marine environment (MCC), the second with a decrease in pH from 8.1 to 7.9, and an increase in temperature by 2 °C (MMS), and the third with pH in around 7.7 and an increase in temperature of 4 °C (MES). The results showed that MCC was dominated by the Gammaproteobacteria class, mainly members of the Alteromonadales Order. The second most abundant group was Alphaproteobacteria, with a predominance of Rhodobacterales and Oceanospirillales. In the MMS system there was a balance between representatives of the Gammaproteobacteria and Alphaproteobacteria classes. In MES there was an inversion in the representations of the most prevalent classes previously described in MCC. In this condition, there was a predominance of members of the Alphaproteobacteria Class, in contrast to the decrease in the abundance of Gammaproteobacteria members. These results suggest that possible future climate changes may influence the dynamics of the biofouling process in surface metals.Supplementary InformationThe online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s12088-021-00925-7. 相似文献

Background
Alkaline phosphatase (AP) catalyzes the hydrolytic cleavage of phosphate monoesters under alkaline conditions and plays important roles in microbial ecology and molecular biology applications. Here, we report on the first isolation and biochemical characterization of a thermolabile AP from a metagenome.Results
The gene encoding a novel AP was isolated from a metagenomic library constructed with ocean-tidal flat sediments from the west coast of Korea. The metagenome-derived AP (mAP) gene composed of 1,824 nucleotides encodes a polypeptide with a calculated molecular mass of 64 kDa. The deduced amino acid sequence of mAP showed a high degree of similarity to other members of the AP family. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that the mAP is shown to be a member of a recently identified family of PhoX that is distinct from the well-studied classical PhoA family. When the open reading frame encoding mAP was cloned and expressed in recombinant Escherichia coli, the mature mAP was secreted to the periplasm and lacks an 81-amino-acid N-terminal Tat signal peptide. Mature mAP was purified to homogeneity as a monomeric enzyme with a molecular mass of 56 kDa. The purified mAP displayed typical features of a psychrophilic enzyme: high catalytic activity at low temperature and a remarkable thermal instability. The optimal temperature for the enzymatic activity of mAP was 37°C and complete thermal inactivation of the enzyme was observed at 65°C within 15 min. mAP was activated by Ca2+ and exhibited maximal activity at pH 9.0. Except for phytic acid and glucose 1-phosphate, mAP showed phosphatase activity against various phosphorylated substrates indicating that it had low substrate specificity. In addition, the mAP was able to remove terminal phosphates from cohesive and blunt ends of linearized plasmid DNA, exhibiting comparable efficiency to commercially available APs that have been used in molecular biology.Conclusions
The presented mAP enzyme is the first thermolabile AP found in cold-adapted marine metagenomes and may be useful for efficient dephosphorylation of linearized DNA. 相似文献50.
In this study, we introduce a novel bioinformatics program, Spore-associated Symbiotic Microbes Position-specific Function (SeSaMe PS Function), for position-specific functional analysis of short sequences derived from metagenome sequencing data of the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi. The unique advantage of the program lies in databases created based on genus-specific sequence properties derived from protein secondary structure, namely amino acid usages, codon usages, and codon contexts of 3-codon DNA 9-mers. SeSaMe PS Function searches a query sequence against reference sequence database, identifies 3-codon DNA 9-mers with structural roles, and creates a comparative dataset containing the codon usage biases of the 3-codon DNA 9-mers from 54 bacterial and fungal genera. The program applies correlation principal component analysis in conjunction with K-means clustering method to the comparative dataset. 3-codon DNA 9-mers clustered as a sole member or with only a few members are often structurally and functionally distinctive sites that provide useful insights into important molecular interactions. The program provides a versatile means for studying functions of short sequences from metagenome sequencing and has a wide spectrum of applications.
