Abstract
Understanding of the mechanisms on bacteria-regulated mineral dissolution functions is important for further insight into mineral-microbe interactions. The functions of the two-component system have been studied. However, the molecular mechanisms involved in bacterial two-component system-mediated mineral dissolution are poorly understood. Here, the two-component regulatory system ResS/ResR in the mineral-solubilizing bacterium Pseudomonas pergaminensis F77 was characterized for its involvement in biotite dissolution. Strain F77 and the F77ΔresS, F77ΔresR, and F77ΔresS/R mutants were constructed and compared for the ResS/ResR system-mediated Fe and Al release from biotite in the medium and the mechanisms involved. After 3 days of incubation, the F77ΔresS, F77ΔresR, and F77ΔresS/R mutants significantly decreased the Fe and Al concentrations in the medium compared with F77. The F77ΔresS/R mutant had a greater impact on Fe and Al release from biotite than did the F77ΔresS or F77ΔresR mutant. The F77∆resS/R mutant exhibited significantly reduced Fe and Al concentrations by 21–61 % between 12 h and 48 h of incubation compared with F77. Significantly increased pH values and decreased cell counts on the mineral surfaces were found in the presence of the F77∆resS/R mutant compared with those in the presence of F77 between 12 h and 48 h of incubation. Metabolomic analysis revealed that the extracellular metabolites associated with biotite dissolution were downregulated in the F77ΔresS/R mutant. These downregulated metabolites included GDP-fucose, 20-carboxyleukotriene B4, PGP (16:1(9Z)/16:0), 3′,5′-cyclic AMP, and a variety of acidic metabolites involved in carbohydrate, amino acid, and lipid metabolisms, glycan biosynthesis, and cellular community function. Furthermore, the expression levels of the genes involved in the production of these metabolites were downregulated in the F77ΔresS/R mutant compared with those in F77. Our findings suggested that the ResS/ResR system in F77 contributed to mineral dissolution by mediating the production of mineral-solubilizing related extracellular metabolites and bacterial adsorption on mineral surface.
