Systems Biology of Aromatic Compound Catabolism in Facultative Anaerobic Aromatoleum aromaticum EbN1T
Members of the genus Aromatoleum thrive in diverse habitats and use a broad range of recalcitrant organic molecules coupled to denitrification or O2 respiration. To gain a holistic understanding of the model organism A. aromaticum EbN1T, we studied its catabolic network dynamics in response to 3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)propanoate, phenylalanine, 3-hydroxybenzoate, benzoate, and acetate utilized under nitrate-reducing versus oxic conditions. Integrated multi-omics (transcriptome, proteome, and metabolome) covered most of the catabolic network (199 genes) and allowed for the refining of knowledge of the degradation modules studied. Their substrate-dependent regulation showed differing degrees of specificity, ranging from high with 3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)propanoate to mostly relaxed with benzoate. For benzoate, the transcript and protein formation were essentially constitutive, contrasted by that of anoxia-specific versus oxia-specific metabolite profiles. The matrix factorization of transcriptomic data revealed that the anaerobic modules accounted for most of the variance across the degradation network. The respiration network appeared to be constitutive, both on the transcript and protein levels, except for nitrate reductase (with narGHI expression occurring only under nitrate-reducing conditions). The anoxia/nitrate-dependent transcription of denitrification genes is apparently controlled by three FNR-type regulators as well as by NarXL (all constitutively formed). The resequencing and functional reannotation of the genome fostered a genome-scale metabolic model, which is comprised of 655 enzyme-catalyzed reactions and 731 distinct metabolites. The model predictions for growth rates and biomass yields agreed well with experimental stoichiometric data, except for 3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)propanoate, with which 4-hydroxybenzoate was exported. Taken together, the combination of multi-omics, growth physiology, and a metabolic model advanced our knowledge of an environmentally relevant microorganism that differs significantly from other bacterial model strains. IMPORTANCE Aromatic compounds are abundant constituents not only of natural organic matter but also of bulk industrial chemicals and fuel components of environmental concern. Considering the widespread occurrence of redox gradients in the biosphere, facultative anaerobic degradation specialists can be assumed to play a prominent role in the natural mineralization of organic matter and in bioremediation at contaminated sites. Surprisingly, differential multi-omics profiling of the A. aromaticum EbN1T studied here revealed relaxed regulatory stringency across its four main physiological modi operandi (i.e., O2-independent and O2-dependent degradation reactions versus denitrification and O2 respiration). Combining multi-omics analyses with a genome-scale metabolic model aligned with measured growth performances establishes A. aromaticum EbN1T as a systems-biology model organism and provides unprecedented insights into how this bacterium functions on a holistic level. Moreover, this experimental platform invites future studies on eco-systems and synthetic biology of the environmentally relevant betaproteobacterial Aromatoleum/Azoarcus/Thauera cluster.
