Currently, the enzymatic pathways that mediate disulfide bond reduction in soil and sedimentary organic matter are poorly understood.

    Abstract Neutrophilic Fe(II) oxidizing bacteria like Mariprofundus ferrooxydans are obligate chemolithoautotrophic bacteria that play an important role in the biogeochemical cycling of iron and other elements in multiple environments. These bacteria generally exhibit a singular metabolic mode of growth which prohibits comparative "omics" studies. Furthermore, these bacteria are considered non-amenable to classical genetic methods due to low cell densities, the inability to form colonies on solid medium, and production of copious amounts of insoluble iron oxyhydroxides as their metabolic byproduct. Consequently, the molecular and biochemical understanding of these bacteria remains speculative despite the availability of substantial genomic information. Here we develop the first genetic system in neutrophilic Fe(II) oxidizing bacterium and use it to engineer lithoheterotrophy in M. ferrooxydans, a metabolism that has been speculated but not experimentally validated. This synthetic biology approach could be extended to gain physiological understanding and domesticate other bacteria that grow using a single metabolic mode.

    Abstract Neutrophilic Fe(II) oxidizing bacteria play an important role in biogeochemical processes and have also received attention for multiple technological applications. These micro-organisms are thought to couple their metabolism with extracellular electron transfer (EET) while oxidizing Fe(II) as electron donor outside the cell.

    Abstract To advance synthetic biology approaches that utilize S. oneidensis as host for biotechnology applications, we have investigated the variation in plasmid copy number of a modular vector set resulting from distinct origins of replication under different conditions. The replicons yielded a ≈9X-fold range for plasmid copy number variation in S. oneidensis (while the same origins yielded a ≈3X-fold range in Escherichia coli). This provides a sizeable range to control gene expression levels in S. oneidensis for synthetic biology applications. In addition, plasmid harboring the pBBR1 origin resulted in stable copy numbers in S. oneidensis under different conditions (mid-logarithmic, stationary, multi-plasmid). This may enable the realization of synthetic circuits in S. oneidensis where predictable, quantitative behavior is desired (in either single- or double-plasmid contexts).

    Abstract Zetaproteobacteria are obligate chemolithoautotrophs that oxidize Fe(II) as an electron and energy source, and play significant roles in nutrient cycling and primary production in the marine biosphere. Zetaproteobacteria thrive under microoxic conditions near oxic-anoxic interfaces, where they catalyze Fe(II) oxidation faster than the abiotic reaction with oxygen. Neutrophilic Fe(II) oxidizing bacteria produce copious amounts of insoluble iron oxyhydroxides as a by-product of their metabolism. Oxygen consumption by aerobic respiration and formation of iron oxyhydroxides at oxic-anoxic interfaces can result in periods of oxygen limitation for bacterial cells. Under laboratory conditions, all Zetaproteobacteria isolates have been shown to strictly require oxygen as an electron acceptor for growth, and anaerobic metabolism has not been observed. However, genomic analyses indicate a range of potential anaerobic pathways present in Zetaproteobacteria. Heterologous expression of proteins from Mariprofundus ferrooxydans PV-1, including pyruvate formate lyase and acetate kinase, further support a capacity for anaerobic metabolism. Here we define auxiliary anaerobic metabolism as a mechanism to provide maintenance energy to cells and suggest that it provides a survival advantage to Zetaproteobacteria in environments with fluctuating oxygen availability.

    Abstract Over the past century, microbiologists have studied organisms in pure culture, yet it is becoming increasingly apparent that the majority of biological processes rely on multispecies cooperation and interaction. While little is known about how such interactions permit cooperation, even less is known about how cooperation arises. To study the emergence of cooperation in the laboratory, we constructed both a commensal community and an obligate mutualism using the previously noninteracting bacteria

    Abstract Some bacteria and archaea have evolved the means to use extracellular electron donors and acceptors for energy metabolism, a phenomenon broadly known as extracellular electron transfer (EET). One such EET mechanism is the transmembrane electron conduit MtrCAB, which has been shown to transfer electrons derived from metabolic substrates to electron acceptors, like Fe(III) and Mn(IV) oxides, outside the cell. Although most studies of MtrCAB-mediated EET have been conducted in Shewanella oneidensis MR-1, recent investigations in
