“…Other species found to encode MtrCAB, such as Burkholderiales bacterium JOSHI_001 and Ideonella sp. A288, have been reported to deposit manganese and iron oxides, respectively, but whether or not they yield energy from these reactions remains to be seen ( 50 – 52 ). Likewise, some of the MtrCAB-encoding organisms come from metagenomic samples in which EET was implicated through bioelectrochemical experiments or other geochemical observations, but in lieu of experimental validation for individual genotypes, we chose not to speculate on whether the organisms we identified in these cases are directly engaged in EET.…”

While many metabolisms make use of soluble, cell-permeable substrates like oxygen or hydrogen, there are other substrates, like iron or manganese, that cannot be brought into the cell. Some bacteria and archaea have evolved the means to directly “plug in” to such environmental electron reservoirs in a process known as extracellular electron transfer (EET), making them powerful agents of biogeochemical change and promising vehicles for bioremediation and alternative energy.

“…This is the case of sequences assigned to the Burkholderiales order, such as those included in scaffolds that were closely related to Rhodoferax ferrireducens T118, isolated from marine sediments [ 94 ], and Ideonella sp. A288, isolated from a floodplain area containing iron mineral [ 95 ].…”

High wax ester and triacylglycerol biosynthesis potential in coastal sediments of Antarctic and Subantarctic environments

et al. 2023

The wax ester (WE) and triacylglycerol (TAG) biosynthetic potential of marine microorganisms is poorly understood at the microbial community level. The goal of this work was to uncover the prevalence and diversity of bacteria with the potential to synthesize these neutral lipids in coastal sediments of two high latitude environments, and to characterize the gene clusters related to this process. Homolog sequences of the key enzyme, the wax ester synthase/acyl-CoA:diacylglycerol acyltransferase (WS/DGAT) were retrieved from 13 metagenomes, including subtidal and intertidal sediments of a Subantarctic environment (Ushuaia Bay, Argentina), and subtidal sediments of an Antarctic environment (Potter Cove, Antarctica). The abundance of WS/DGAT homolog sequences in the sediment metagenomes was 1.23 ± 0.42 times the abundance of 12 single-copy genes encoding ribosomal proteins, higher than in seawater (0.13 ± 0.31 times in 338 metagenomes). Homolog sequences were highly diverse, and were assigned to the Pseudomonadota, Actinomycetota, Bacteroidota and Acidobacteriota phyla. The genomic context of WS/DGAT homologs included sequences related to WE and TAG biosynthesis pathways, as well as to other related pathways such as fatty-acid metabolism, suggesting carbon recycling might drive the flux to neutral lipid synthesis. These results indicate the presence of abundant and taxonomically diverse bacterial populations with the potential to synthesize lipid storage compounds in marine sediments, relating this metabolic process to bacterial survival.
