Hydrogen-oxidizing bacteria

Last updated

Hydrogen-oxidizing bacteria are a group of facultative autotrophs that can use hydrogen as an electron donor. They can be divided into aerobes and anaerobes. The former use hydrogen as an electron donor and oxygen as an acceptor while the latter use sulphate or nitrogen dioxide as electron acceptors. [1] Species of both types have been isolated from a variety of environments, including fresh waters, sediments, soils, activated sludge, hot springs, hydrothermal vents and percolating water. [2]

Contents

These bacteria are able to exploit the special properties of molecular hydrogen (for instance redox potential and diffusion coefficient) thanks to the presence of hydrogenases. [3] The aerobic hydrogen-oxidizing bacteria are facultative autotrophs, but they can also have mixotrophic or completely heterotrophic growth. Most of them show greater growth on organic substrates. The use of hydrogen as an electron donor coupled with the ability to synthesize organic matter, through the reductive assimilation of CO2, characterize the hydrogen-oxidizing bacteria.

Among the most represented genera of these organisms are Caminibacter , Aquifex , Ralstonia and Paracoccus .

Sources of hydrogen

Hydrogen is the most widespread element in the universe, representing around three-quarters of all atoms. [4] In the atmosphere, the concentration of molecular hydrogen (H2) gas is about 0.5–0.6 ppm, and so it represents the second-most-abundant trace gas after methane. [3] H2 can be used as energy source in biological processes because it has a highly negative redox potential (E0′ = –0.414 V). It can be coupled with O2, in oxidative respiration (2H2 + O2 → 2H2O), or with oxidized compounds, such as carbon dioxide or sulfate. [5]

In an ecosystem, hydrogen can be produced through abiotic and biological processes. The abiotic processes are mainly due to geothermal production [6] and serpentinization. [7]

In geothermal processes, hydrogen is usually present as a gas and may be obtained by different reactions:

1.      Water may react with the silicon radical at high temperature:

Si· + H2O → SiOH + H·

H· + H· → H2

2.      A proposed reaction between iron oxides and water may occur at temperatures higher than 800 °C:

2FeO + H2O → Fe2O3 + H2

2Fe3O4 + H2O → 3Fe2O3 + H2 [6]

Occurring at ambient temperature, serpentinization is an exothermic geochemical mechanism that takes place when ultramafic rocks from deep in the Earth rise and encounter water. This process can produce large quantities of H2, as well as methane and organic substances. [7]

The main biotic mechanisms that lead to the formation of hydrogen are nitrogen fixation and fermentation. The first happens in bacteria, such as cyanobacteria, that have a specialized enzyme, nitrogenase, which catalyzes the reduction of N2 to NH4+. [8] [9] In addition, these microorganisms have another enzyme, hydrogenase, that oxidizes the H2 released as a by-product. [4] If the nitrogen-fixing bacteria have low amounts of hydrogenase, excess H2 can be released into the environment. [10] [11] The amount of hydrogen released depends on the ratio between H2 production and consumption. [11] The second mechanism, fermentation, is performed by some anaerobic heterotrophic bacteria, in particular Clostridia , [12] that degrade organic molecules, producing hydrogen as one of the products. This type of metabolism mainly occurs in anoxic sites, such as lake sediments, deep-sea hydrothermal vents and the animal gut. [13]

The ocean is supersaturated with hydrogen, presumably as a result of these biotic processes. Nitrogen fixation is thought to be the major mechanism involved in the production of H2 in the oceans. [3] Release of hydrogen in the oceans is dependent on solar radiation, with a daily peak at noon. [3] [14] [15] The highest concentrations are in the first metres near the surface, decreasing to the thermocline and reaching their minimum in the deep oceans. [3] Globally, tropical and subtropical oceans have the greatest abundance of H2. [3] [14] [16] [17]

Examples

Hydrothermal vents

H2 is an important electron donor in hydrothermal vents. In this environment hydrogen oxidation represents a significant origin of energy, sufficient to conduct ATP synthesis and autotrophic CO2 fixation, so hydrogen-oxidizing bacteria form an important part of the ecosystem in deep sea habitats. Among the main chemosynthetic reactions that take place in hydrothermal vents, the oxidation of sulphide and hydrogen holds a central role. In particular, for autotrophic carbon fixation, hydrogen oxidation metabolism is more favored than sulfide or thiosulfate oxidation, although less energy is released (only –237 kJ/mol compared to –797 kJ/mol). [18] To fix a mole of carbon during the hydrogen oxidation, one-third of the energy necessary for the sulphide oxidation is used. This is because hydrogen has a more negative redox potential than NAD(P)H. Depending on the relative amounts of sulphide, hydrogen and other species, energy production by oxidation of hydrogen can be as much as 10–18 times higher than production by the oxidation of sulphide. [19] [20]

Knallgas bacteria

Aerobic hydrogen-oxidizing bacteria, sometimes called knallgas bacteria, are bacteria that oxidize hydrogen with oxygen as final electron acceptor. These bacteria include Hydrogenobacter thermophilus , Cupriavidus necator , and Hydrogenovibrio marinus . There are both Gram positive and Gram negative knallgas bacteria.

Most grow best under microaerobic conditions because the hydrogenase enzyme is inhibited by the presence of oxygen and yet oxygen is still needed as a terminal electron acceptor in energy metabolism. [21]

The word Knallgas means "oxyhydrogen" (a mixture of hydrogen and oxygen, literally "bang-gas") in German.

Strain MH-110

Ocean surface water is characterized by a high concentration of hydrogen. [22] In 1989, an aerobic hydrogen-oxidizing bacterium was isolated from sea water. The MH-110 strain (aka DSM 11271, type strain of Hydrogenovibrio marinus [23] [24] ) is able to grow under normal temperature conditions and in an atmosphere (under a continuous gas flow system) characterized by an oxygen saturation of 40% (analogous characteristics are present in the surface water from which the bacteria were isolated, which is a fairly aerated medium). This differs from the usual behaviour of hydrogen-oxidizing bacteria, which in general thrive under microaerophilic conditions (<10% O2 saturation). [25] [26]

This strain is also capable of coupling the hydrogen oxidation with the reduction of sulfur compounds such as thiosulfate and tetrathionate.

Metabolism

Knallgas bacteria are able to fix carbon dioxide using H2 as their chemical energy source. Knallgas bacteria stand out from other hydrogen-oxidizing bacteria that, although using H2 as energy source, are not able to fix CO2, as Knallgas do. [27]

This aerobic hydrogen oxidation (H2 + O2 H2O), also known as the Knallgas reaction, releases a considerable amount of energy, having a ΔGo of –237 kJ/mol. The energy is captured as a proton motive force for use by the cell.

The key enzymes involved in this reaction are the hydrogenases, which cleave molecular hydrogen and feed its electrons into the electron transport chain, where they are carried to the final acceptor, O2, extracting energy in the process. The hydrogen is ultimately oxidized to water, the end product. [28] The hydrogenases are divided into three categories according to the type of metal present in the active site. These enzymes were first found in Pseudomonas saccharophila , Alcaligenes ruhlandii and Alcaligenese eutrophus , in which there are two types of hydrogenases: cytoplasmic and membrane-bound. While the first enzyme takes up hydrogen and reduces NAD+ to NADH for carbon fixation, the second is involved in the generation of the proton motive force. [29] [30] In most knallgas bacteria only the second is found. [31]

While these microorganisms are facultative autotrophs, some are also able to live heterotrophicically using organic substances as electron donors; in this case, the hydrogenase activity is less important or completely absent. [1]

However, knallgas bacteria, when growing as chemolithoautotrophs, can integrate a molecule of CO2 to produce, through the Calvin–Benson cycle, biomolecules necessary for the cell: [32] [33]

6H2 + 2O2 + CO2 (CH2O) + 5H2O

A study of Alcaligenes eutropha , a representative knallgas bacterium, found that at low concentrations of O2 (about 10 mol %) and consequently with a low ΔH2/ΔCO2 molar ratio (3.3), the energy efficiency of CO2 fixation increases to 50%. Once assimilated, some of the carbon may be stored as polyhydroxybutyrate. [34] [35]

Uses

Given enough nutrients, H2, O2 and CO2, many knallgas bacteria can be grown quickly in vats using only a small amount of land area. This makes it possible to cultivate them as an environmentally sustainable source of food and other products. For example, the polyhydroxybutyrate the bacteria produce can be used as a feedstock to produce biodegradable plastics in various eco-sustainable applications. [34] [35]

Solar Foods is a startup that has sought to commercialize knallgas bacteria for food production, using renewable energy to split hydrogen to grow a neutral-tasting, protein-rich food source for use in products such as artificial meat. [36] Research studies have suggested that knallgas cultivation is more environmentally friendly than traditional agriculture. [37]

Riftia pachyptila, commonly known as the giant tube worm and less commonly known as the giant beardworm, is a marine invertebrate in the phylum Annelida related to tube worms commonly found in the intertidal and pelagic zones. R. pachyptila lives on the floor of the Pacific Ocean near hydrothermal vents. The vents provide a natural ambient temperature in their environment ranging from 2 to 30 °C, and this organism can tolerate extremely high hydrogen sulfide levels. These worms can reach a length of 3 m, and their tubular bodies have a diameter of 4 cm (1.6 in).

"Aquifex aeolicus" is a chemolithoautotrophic, Gram-negative, motile, hyperthermophilic bacterium. "A. aeolicus" is generally rod-shaped with an approximate length of 2.0-6.0μm and a diameter of 0.4-0.5μm. "A. aeolicus" is neither validly nor effectively published and, having no standing in nomenclature, should be styled in quotation marks. It is one of a handful of species in the Aquificota phylum, an unusual group of thermophilic bacteria that are thought to be some of the oldest species of bacteria, related to filamentous bacteria first observed at the turn of the century. "A. aeolicus" is also believed to be one of the earliest diverging species of thermophilic bacteria. "A. aeolicus" grows best in water between 85 °C and 95 °C, and can be found near underwater volcanoes or hot springs. It requires oxygen to survive but has been found to grow optimally under microaerophilic conditions. Due to its high stability against high temperature and lack of oxygen, "A. aeolicus" is a good candidate for biotechnological applications as it is believed to have potential to be used as hydrogenases in an attractive H2/O2 biofuel cell, replacing chemical catalysts. This can be useful for improving industrial processes.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Sulfur-reducing bacteria</span> Microorganisms able to reduce elemental sulfur to hydrogen sulfide

Sulfur-reducing bacteria are microorganisms able to reduce elemental sulfur (S0) to hydrogen sulfide (H2S). These microbes use inorganic sulfur compounds as electron acceptors to sustain several activities such as respiration, conserving energy and growth, in absence of oxygen. The final product of these processes, sulfide, has a considerable influence on the chemistry of the environment and, in addition, is used as electron donor for a large variety of microbial metabolisms. Several types of bacteria and many non-methanogenic archaea can reduce sulfur. Microbial sulfur reduction was already shown in early studies, which highlighted the first proof of S0 reduction in a vibrioid bacterium from mud, with sulfur as electron acceptor and H
2 as electron donor. The first pure cultured species of sulfur-reducing bacteria, Desulfuromonas acetoxidans, was discovered in 1976 and described by Pfennig Norbert and Biebel Hanno as an anaerobic sulfur-reducing and acetate-oxidizing bacterium, not able to reduce sulfate. Only few taxa are true sulfur-reducing bacteria, using sulfur reduction as the only or main catabolic reaction. Normally, they couple this reaction with the oxidation of acetate, succinate or other organic compounds. In general, sulfate-reducing bacteria are able to use both sulfate and elemental sulfur as electron acceptors. Thanks to its abundancy and thermodynamic stability, sulfate is the most studied electron acceptor for anaerobic respiration that involves sulfur compounds. Elemental sulfur, however, is very abundant and important, especially in deep-sea hydrothermal vents, hot springs and other extreme environments, making its isolation more difficult. Some bacteria – such as Proteus, Campylobacter, Pseudomonas and Salmonella – have the ability to reduce sulfur, but can also use oxygen and other terminal electron acceptors.

Lithotrophs are a diverse group of organisms using an inorganic substrate to obtain reducing equivalents for use in biosynthesis or energy conservation via aerobic or anaerobic respiration. While lithotrophs in the broader sense include photolithotrophs like plants, chemolithotrophs are exclusively microorganisms; no known macrofauna possesses the ability to use inorganic compounds as electron sources. Macrofauna and lithotrophs can form symbiotic relationships, in which case the lithotrophs are called "prokaryotic symbionts". An example of this is chemolithotrophic bacteria in giant tube worms or plastids, which are organelles within plant cells that may have evolved from photolithotrophic cyanobacteria-like organisms. Chemolithotrophs belong to the domains Bacteria and Archaea. The term "lithotroph" was created from the Greek terms 'lithos' (rock) and 'troph' (consumer), meaning "eaters of rock". Many but not all lithoautotrophs are extremophiles.

<i>Beggiatoa</i> Genus of bacteria

Beggiatoa is a genus of Gammaproteobacteria belonging to the order Thiotrichales, in the Pseudomonadota phylum. This genus was one of the first bacteria discovered by Ukrainian botanist Sergei Winogradsky. During his research in Anton de Bary's laboratory of botany in 1887, he found that Beggiatoa oxidized hydrogen sulfide (H2S) as an energy source, forming intracellular sulfur droplets, with oxygen as the terminal electron acceptor and CO2 used as a carbon source. Winogradsky named it in honor of the Italian doctor and botanist Francesco Secondo Beggiato (1806 - 1883), from Venice. Winogradsky referred to this form of metabolism as "inorgoxidation" (oxidation of inorganic compounds), today called chemolithotrophy. These organisms live in sulfur-rich environments such as soil, both marine and freshwater, in the deep sea hydrothermal vents and in polluted marine environments. The finding represented the first discovery of lithotrophy. Two species of Beggiatoa have been formally described: the type species Beggiatoa alba and Beggiatoa leptomitoformis, the latter of which was only published in 2017. This colorless and filamentous bacterium, sometimes in association with other sulfur bacteria (for example the genus Thiothrix), can be arranged in biofilm visible to the naked eye formed by a very long white filamentous mat, the white color is due to the stored sulfur. Species of Beggiatoa have cells up to 200 µm in diameter and they are one of the largest prokaryotes on Earth.

Microbial metabolism is the means by which a microbe obtains the energy and nutrients it needs to live and reproduce. Microbes use many different types of metabolic strategies and species can often be differentiated from each other based on metabolic characteristics. The specific metabolic properties of a microbe are the major factors in determining that microbe's ecological niche, and often allow for that microbe to be useful in industrial processes or responsible for biogeochemical cycles.

The Southern Pacific Gyre is part of the Earth's system of rotating ocean currents, bounded by the Equator to the north, Australia to the west, the Antarctic Circumpolar Current to the south, and South America to the east. The center of the South Pacific Gyre is the oceanic pole of inaccessibility, the site on Earth farthest from any continents and productive ocean regions and is regarded as Earth's largest oceanic desert. With an area of 37 million square kilometres it makes up ~10 % of the Earth's ocean surface. The gyre, as with Earth's other four gyres, contains an area with elevated concentrations of pelagic plastics, chemical sludge, and other debris known as the South Pacific garbage patch.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Autotroph</span> Organism type

An autotroph is an organism that produces complex organic compounds using carbon from simple substances such as carbon dioxide, generally using energy from light (photosynthesis) or inorganic chemical reactions (chemosynthesis). They convert an abiotic source of energy into energy stored in organic compounds, which can be used by other organisms. Autotrophs do not need a living source of carbon or energy and are the producers in a food chain, such as plants on land or algae in water. Autotrophs can reduce carbon dioxide to make organic compounds for biosynthesis and as stored chemical fuel. Most autotrophs use water as the reducing agent, but some can use other hydrogen compounds such as hydrogen sulfide.

Sulfurimonas is a bacterial genus within the class of Campylobacterota, known for reducing nitrate, oxidizing both sulfur and hydrogen, and containing Group IV hydrogenases. This genus consists of four species: Sulfurimonas autorophica, Sulfurimonas denitrificans, Sulfurimonas gotlandica, and Sulfurimonas paralvinellae. The genus' name is derived from "sulfur" in Latin and "monas" from Greek, together meaning a “sulfur-oxidizing rod”. The size of the bacteria varies between about 1.5-2.5 μm in length and 0.5-1.0 μm in width. Members of the genus Sulfurimonas are found in a variety of different environments which include deep sea-vents, marine sediments, and terrestrial habitats. Their ability to survive in extreme conditions is attributed to multiple copies of one enzyme. Phylogenetic analysis suggests that members of the genus Sulfurimonas have limited dispersal ability and its speciation was affected by geographical isolation rather than hydrothermal composition. Deep ocean currents affect the dispersal of Sulfurimonas spp., influencing its speciation. As shown in the MLSA report of deep-sea hydrothermal vents Campylobacterota, Sulfurimonas has a higher dispersal capability compared with deep sea hydrothermal vent thermophiles, indicating allopatric speciation.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Microbial oxidation of sulfur</span>

Microbial oxidation of sulfur is the oxidation of sulfur by microorganisms to build their structural components. The oxidation of inorganic compounds is the strategy primarily used by chemolithotrophic microorganisms to obtain energy to survive, grow and reproduce. Some inorganic forms of reduced sulfur, mainly sulfide (H2S/HS−) and elemental sulfur (S0), can be oxidized by chemolithotrophic sulfur-oxidizing prokaryotes, usually coupled to the reduction of oxygen (O2) or nitrate (NO3−). Anaerobic sulfur oxidizers include photolithoautotrophs that obtain their energy from sunlight, hydrogen from sulfide, and carbon from carbon dioxide (CO2).

The hydrothermal vent microbial community includes all unicellular organisms that live and reproduce in a chemically distinct area around hydrothermal vents. These include organisms in the microbial mat, free floating cells, or bacteria in an endosymbiotic relationship with animals. Chemolithoautotrophic bacteria derive nutrients and energy from the geological activity at Hydrothermal vents to fix carbon into organic forms. Viruses are also a part of the hydrothermal vent microbial community and their influence on the microbial ecology in these ecosystems is a burgeoning field of research.
