Abstract：
:Metal tolerance has been found to vary among Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans strains and this can impact the efficiency of biomining practices. To explain observed strain variability for differences in metal tolerance we examined the effects of Cu(2+) and Ni(2+) concentrations (1-200 mM) on cytoplasmic membrane properties of two A. ferrooxidans type strains (ATCC 23270 and 19859) and four strains isolated from AMD water around Sudbury, Ontario, Canada. Growth rate, membrane fluidity and phase, determined from the fluorescence polarization of 1,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-hexatriene (DPH), and fatty acid profiles indicated that three different modes of adaptation were present and could separate between strains showing moderate, or high metal tolerance from more sensitive strains. To compensate for the membrane ordering effects of the metals, significant remodelling of the membrane was used to either maintain homeoviscous adaptation in the moderately tolerant strains or to increase membrane fluidity in the sensitive strains. Shifts in the gel-to-liquid crystalline transition temperature in the moderately tolerant strains led to multiple phase transitions, increasing the potential for phase separation and compromised membrane integrity. The metal-tolerant strain however, was able to tolerate increases in membrane order without significant compensation via fatty acid composition. Our multivariate analyses show a common adaptive response which involves changes in the abundant 16:0 and 18:1 fatty acids. However, fatty acid composition and membrane properties showed no difference in response to either copper or nickel suggesting that adaptive response was non-specific and tolerance dependent. We demonstrate that strain variation can be evaluated using differences in membrane properties as intrinsic determinants of metal susceptibility.
