The imbalance in the supply of resources, such as carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus, in sediments leads to microbial metabolic limitations (MMLs). This, in turn, triggers the secretion of extracellular enzymes by microorganisms to mine for deficient resources by decomposing complex organic carbon. This process is a rate-limiting step in the degradation of organic carbon and, as a result, has the potential to regulate organic carbon stocks. However, the general understanding of MML patterns and their relationships with SOC content along lake salinity gradients remains elusive. This study examined 25 lakes on the Tibetan Plateau with salinity ranging from 0.13‱ to 31.06‱, analyzing MMLs through enzymatic stoichiometry. The results showed that sediment microbial metabolism was mainly limited by carbon and nitrogen, with stronger limitations at higher salinity. Water salinity and sediment pH were the main factors influencing microbial limitations, either directly or indirectly, through their effects on nutrients and microbial diversity. Additionally, the SOC content was negatively correlated with microbial carbon limitation, a relationship weakened when salinity and pH were controlled. These findings suggest that the decrease in SOC with increased salinity or pH could be driven by stronger microbial carbon limitations, offering insights into the impact of salinity changes on SOC stocks in inland lakes due to climate change.</p>","PeriodicalId":18667,"journal":{"name":"Microorganisms","volume":"13 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2025-03-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11945249/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143720506","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Recent studies have qualitatively indicted that stiffness may impact bacterial attachment and accumulation, yet the variation in the cell-to-surface adhesion with substrate stiffness remains to be quantified. Here, by developing a cell-level force-distance spectroscopy (FDS) technique based on atomic force microscopy (AFM), we simultaneously quantify the cell-surface adhesion and stiffness of the underlying substrates to reveal the stiffness-dependent adhesion of the phototrophic bacterium <i>Chromatium okenii</i>. As the stiffness of the soft substrate, modeled using a low-melting-point (LMP) agarose pad, was varied between 20 kPa and 120 kPa by changing the agarose concentrations, we observed a progressive increase in the mean adhesion force by over an order of magnitude, from 0.21±0.10 nN to 2.42±1.16 nN. In contrast, passive polystyrene (PS) microparticles of comparable dimensions showed no perceptible change in their surface adhesion, confirming that the stiffness-dependent adhesive interaction of <i>C. okenii</i> is of a biological origin. Furthermore, for <i>Escherichia coli</i>, the cell-surface adhesion varied between 0.29±0.17 nN and 0.39±0.20 nN, showing a weak dependence on the substrate stiffness, thus suggesting that stiffness-modulated adhesion is a species-specific trait. Finally, by quantifying the adhesion of the <i>C. okenii</i> population across different timescales, we reported the emergent co-existence of weak and strongly adherent sub-populations, demonstrating diversification of the adherent phenotypes over the growth stages. Taken together, these findings suggest that bacteria, depending on the species and their physiological stage, may actively modulate cell-to-surface adhesion in response to the stiffness of soft surfaces. While the surface properties, for instance, hydrophobicity (or hydrophilicity), play a key role in mediating bacterial attachment, this work introduces substrate stiffness as a biophysical parameter that could reinforce or suppress effective surface interactions. Our results suggest how bacteria could leverage stiffness-dependent adhesion and the diversity therein as functional traits to modulate their initial attachment to, colonization of, and proliferation on soft substrates during the early stages of biofilm development.</p>","PeriodicalId":18667,"journal":{"name":"Microorganisms","volume":"13 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2025-03-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11945209/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143720366","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
