    Abstract Most of the small-molecule drugs approved for the treatment of cancer over the past 40 years are based on natural compounds. Bacteria provide an extensive reservoir for the development of further anti-cancer therapeutics to meet the challenges posed by the diversity of these malignant diseases. While identifying cytotoxic compounds is often easy, achieving selective targeting of cancer cells is challenging. Here we describe a novel experimental approach (the Pioneer platform) for the identification and development of 'pioneering' bacterial variants that either show or are conduced to exhibit selective contact-independent anti-cancer cytotoxic activities. We engineered human cancer cells to secrete Colicin M that repress the growth of the bacterium Escherichia coli, while immortalised non-transformed cells were engineered to express Chloramphenicol Acetyltransferase capable of relieving the bacteriostatic effect of Chloramphenicol. Through co-culturing of E. coli with these two engineered human cell lines, we show bacterial outgrowth of DH5α E. coli is constrained by the combination of negative and positive selection pressures. This result supports the potential for this approach to screen or adaptively evolve 'pioneering' bacterial variants that can selectively eliminate the cancer cell population. Overall, the Pioneer platform demonstrates potential utility for drug discovery through multi-partner experimental evolution.

    Abstract The gut microbiota contributes to diverse aspects of host physiology, ranging from immunomodulation to drug metabolism. Changes in the gut microbiota composition are associated with various diseases as well as with the response to medications. It is therefore important to understand how different lifestyle and environmental factors shape gut microbiota composition. Beyond the commonly considered factor of diet, small-molecule drugs have recently been identified as major effectors of the microbiota composition. Other xenobiotics, such as environmental or chemical pollutants, can also impact gut bacterial communities. Here, we review the mechanisms of interactions between gut bacteria and antibiotics, host-targeted drugs, natural food compounds, food additives and environmental pollutants. While xenobiotics can impact bacterial growth and metabolism, bacteria in turn can bioaccumulate or chemically modify these compounds. These reciprocal interactions can manifest in complex xenobiotic-microbiota-host relationships. Our Review highlights the need to study mechanisms underlying interactions with pollutants and food additives towards deciphering the dynamics and evolution of the gut microbiota.

    Abstract Synthetically re-designing eukaryotic metabolism has proven immensely challenging, raising the question of whether evolution has metabolically hardwired eukaryotic cells. Yu et al. now report that, through orchestrating multiple genetic changes and laboratory evolution, Saccharomyces metabolism can be reprogrammed from its evolutionary objective of producing ethanol to produce large amounts of free fatty acids.

    Abstract Expanding our understanding of drug-gut bacteria interactions requires high-throughput drug measurements in complex bacterial cultures. Quantification of drugs in the cultures, media, and cell pellets is prone to strong matrix effects. We have developed a liquid chromatography-high resolution mass spectrometry (LC-HRMS) method for quantifying duloxetine from high-throughput gut-drug interaction experiments. The method is partially validated for its reproducibility, sensitivity, and accuracy, which makes it suitable for largescale drug screens. We extensively used this method to study biotransformation and bioaccumulation of duloxetine and other drugs in several species of gut bacteria.

    Abstract Metagenomic analyses of microbial communities have revealed a large degree of interspecies and intraspecies genetic diversity through the reconstruction of metagenome assembled genomes (MAGs). Yet, metabolic modeling efforts mainly rely on reference genomes as the starting point for reconstruction and simulation of genome scale metabolic models (GEMs), neglecting the immense intra- and inter-species diversity present in microbial communities. Here, we present metaGEM (https://github.com/franciscozorrilla/metaGEM), an end-to-end pipeline enabling metabolic modeling of multi-species communities directly from metagenomes. The pipeline automates all steps from the extraction of context-specific prokaryotic GEMs from MAGs to community level flux balance analysis (FBA) simulations. To demonstrate the capabilities of metaGEM, we analyzed 483 samples spanning lab culture, human gut, plant-associated, soil, and ocean metagenomes, reconstructing over 14,000 GEMs. We show that GEMs reconstructed from metagenomes have fully represented metabolism comparable to isolated genomes. We demonstrate that metagenomic GEMs capture intraspecies metabolic diversity and identify potential differences in the progression of type 2 diabetes at the level of gut bacterial metabolic exchanges. Overall, metaGEM enables FBA-ready metabolic model reconstruction directly from metagenomes, provides a resource of metabolic models, and showcases community-level modeling of microbiomes associated with disease conditions allowing generation of mechanistic hypotheses.

    Abstract Pathogenic bacteria proliferating inside mammalian host cells need to rapidly adapt to the intracellular environment. How they achieve this and scavenge essential nutrients from the host has been an open question due to the difficulties in distinguishing between bacterial and host metabolites in situ. Here, we capitalized on the inability of mammalian cells to metabolize mannitol to develop a stable isotopic labeling approach to track Salmonella enterica metabolites during intracellular proliferation in host macrophage and epithelial cells. By measuring label incorporation into Salmonella metabolites with liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS), and combining it with metabolic modeling, we identify relevant carbon sources used by Salmonella, uncover routes of their metabolization, and quantify relative reaction rates in central carbon metabolism. Our results underline the importance of the Entner-Doudoroff pathway (EDP) and the phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase for intracellularly proliferating Salmonella. More broadly, our metabolic labeling strategy opens novel avenues for understanding the metabolism of pathogens inside host cells.
