Abstract:
:Methylobacter species, members of the Methylococcales, have recently emerged as some of the globally widespread, cosmopolitan species that play a key role in the environmental consumption of methane across gradients of dioxygen tensions. In this work, we approached the question of how Methylobacter copes with hypoxia, via laboratory manipulation. Through comparative transcriptomics of cultures grown under high dioxygen partial pressure versus cultures exposed to hypoxia, we identified a gene cluster encoding a hybrid cluster protein along with sensing and regulatory functions. Through mutant analysis, we demonstrated that this gene cluster is involved in the hypoxia stress response. Through additional transcriptomic analyses, we uncovered a complex interconnection between the NO-mediated stress response, quorum sensing, the secondary metabolite tundrenone, and methanol dehydrogenase functions. This novel and complex hypoxia stress response system is so far unique to Methylobacter species, and it may play a role in the environmental fitness of these organisms and in their cosmopolitan environmental distribution.IMPORTANCE Here, we describe a novel and complex hypoxia response system in a methanotrophic bacterium that involves modules of central carbon metabolism, denitrification, quorum sensing, and a secondary metabolite, tundrenone. This intricate stress response system, so far unique to Methylobacter species, may be responsible for the persistence and activity of these species across gradients of dioxygen tensions and for the cosmopolitan distribution of these organisms in freshwater and soil environments in the Northern Hemisphere, including the fast-melting permafrosts.
