Genes with high sequence similarity to the gene for the PilA pilin monomer of the electrically conductive pili (e-pili) of  accounted for over half of the PilA gene sequences in metagenomic libraries and 42% of the mRNA transcripts in RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) libraries. This abundance of e-pilin genes and transcripts is significant because e-pili can serve as conduits for DIET. Most of the e-pilin genes and transcripts were affiliated with  species, but sequences most closely related to putative e-pilin genes from genera such as , , , and , were also detected. Approximately 17% of all metagenomic and metatranscriptomic bacterial sequences clustered with  species, and the finding that  spp. were actively transcribing growth-related genes indicated that they were metabolically active in the soils. Genes coding for e-pilin were among the most highly transcribed  genes. In addition, homologs of genes encoding OmcS, a -type cytochrome associated with the e-pili of  and required for DIET, were also highly expressed in the soils.  species in the soils highly expressed genes for enzymes involved in the reduction of carbon dioxide to methane. DIET is the only electron donor known to support CO reduction in  Thus, these results are consistent with a model in which  species were providing electrons to  species for methane production through electrical connections of e-pili. species are some of the most important microbial contributors to global methane production, but surprisingly little is known about their physiology and ecology. The possibility that DIET is a source of electrons for  in methanogenic rice paddy soils is important because it demonstrates that the contribution that  makes to methane production in terrestrial environments may extend beyond the conversion of acetate to methane. Furthermore, defined coculture studies have suggested that when  species receive some of their energy from DIET, they grow faster than when acetate is their sole energy source. Thus,  growth and metabolism in methanogenic soils may be faster and more robust than generally considered. The results also suggest that the reason that  species are repeatedly found to be among the most metabolically active microorganisms in methanogenic soils is that they grow syntrophically in cooperation with  spp., and possibly other methanogens, via DIET.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">9</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28258137?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Aklujkar, Muktak</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Leang, Ching</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Shrestha, Pravin M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Shrestha, Minita</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lovley, Derek R</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Transcriptomic profiles of Clostridium ljungdahlii during lithotrophic growth with syngas or H and CO compared to organotrophic growth with fructose.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sci Rep</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sci Rep</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Carbon Dioxide</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Carbon Monoxide</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Clostridium</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fructose</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hydrogen</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">NADP</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Transcriptome</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2017</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2017 Oct 13</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">7</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">13135</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Clostridium ljungdahlii derives energy by lithotrophic and organotrophic acetogenesis. C. ljungdahlii was grown organotrophically with fructose and also lithotrophically, either with syngas - a gas mixture containing hydrogen (H), carbon dioxide (CO), and carbon monoxide (CO), or with H and CO. Gene expression was compared quantitatively by microarrays using RNA extracted from all three conditions. Gene expression with fructose and with H/CO was compared by RNA-Seq. Upregulated genes with both syngas and H/CO (compared to fructose) point to the urea cycle, uptake and degradation of peptides and amino acids, response to sulfur starvation, potentially NADPH-producing pathways involving (S)-malate and ornithine, quorum sensing, sporulation, and cell wall remodeling, suggesting a global and multicellular response to lithotrophic conditions. With syngas, the upregulated (R)-lactate dehydrogenase gene represents a route of electron transfer from ferredoxin to NAD. With H/CO, flavodoxin and histidine biosynthesis genes were upregulated. Downregulated genes corresponded to an intracytoplasmic microcompartment for disposal of methylglyoxal, a toxic byproduct of glycolysis, as 1-propanol. Several cytoplasmic and membrane-associated redox-active protein genes were differentially regulated. The transcriptomic profiles of C. ljungdahlii in lithotrophic and organotrophic growth modes indicate large-scale physiological and metabolic differences, observations that may guide biofuel and commodity chemical production with this species.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/29030620?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record></records></xml>
