Tropodithietic Acid, a Multifunctional Antimicrobial, Facilitates Adaption and Colonization of the Producer, Phaeobacter piscinae

mSphere 2023 Feb 21;8(1):e0051722.PMID:36622251DOI:10.1128/msphere.00517-22.

In the marine environment, surface-associated bacteria often produce an array of antimicrobial secondary metabolites, which have predominantly been perceived as competition molecules. However, they may also affect other hallmarks of surface-associated living, such as motility and biofilm formation. Here, we investigate the ecological significance of an antibiotic secondary metabolite, Tropodithietic Acid (TDA), in the producing bacterium, Phaeobacter piscinae S26. We constructed a markerless in-frame deletion mutant deficient in TDA biosynthesis, S26ΔtdaB. Molecular networking demonstrated that other chemical sulfur-containing features, likely related to TDA, were also altered in the secondary metabolome. We found several changes in the physiology of the TDA-deficient mutant, ΔtdaB, compared to the wild type. Growth of the two strains was similar; however, ΔtdaB cells were shorter and more motile. Transcriptome and proteome profiling revealed an increase in gene expression and protein abundance related to a type IV secretion system, and to a prophage, and a gene transfer agent in ΔtdaB. All these systems may contribute to horizontal gene transfer (HGT), which may facilitate adaptation to novel niches. We speculate that once a TDA-producing population has been established in a new niche, the accumulation of TDA acts as a signal of successful colonization, prompting a switch to a sessile lifestyle. This would lead to a decrease in motility and the rate of HGT, while filamentous cells could form the base of a biofilm. In addition, the antibiotic properties of TDA may inhibit invading competing microorganisms. This points to a role of TDA in coordinating colonization and adaptation. IMPORTANCE Despite the broad clinical usage of microbial secondary metabolites with antibiotic activity, little is known about their role in natural microbiomes. Here, we studied the effect of production of the antibiotic Tropodithietic Acid (TDA) on the producing strain, Phaeobacter piscinae S26, a member of the Roseobacter group. We show that TDA affects several phenotypes of the producing strain, including motility, cell morphology, metal metabolism, and three horizontal gene transfer systems: a prophage, a type IV secretion system, and a gene transfer agent. Together, this indicates that TDA participates in coordinating the colonization process of the producer. TDA is thus an example of a multifunctional secondary metabolite that can mediate complex interactions in microbial communities. This work broadens our understanding of the ecological role that secondary metabolites have in microbial community dynamics.

Tropodithietic Acid induces oxidative stress response, cell envelope biogenesis and iron uptake in Vibrio vulnificus

Environ Microbiol Rep 2019 Aug;11(4):581-588.PMID:31102321DOI:10.1111/1758-2229.12771.

The Roseobacter group is a widespread marine bacterial group, of which some species produce the broad-spectrum antibiotic Tropodithietic Acid (TDA). A mode of action for TDA has previously been proposed in Escherichia coli, but little is known about its effect on non-producing marine bacteria at in situ concentrations. The purpose of this study was to investigate how a sub-lethal level of TDA affects Vibrio vulnificus at different time points (30 and 60 min) using a transcriptomic approach. Exposure to TDA for as little as 30 min resulted in the differential expression of genes associated with cell regeneration, including the up-regulation of those involved in biogenesis of the cell envelope. Defence mechanisms including oxidative stress defence proteins and iron uptake systems were also up-regulated in response to TDA, while motility-related genes were down-regulated. Gene expression data and scanning electron microscopy imaging revealed a switch to a biofilm phenotype in the presence of TDA. Our study shows that a low concentration of this antibiotic triggers a defence response to reactive oxygen species and iron depletion in V. vulnificus, which indicates that the mode of action of TDA is likely more complex in this bacterium than what is known for E. coli.

Impact of Quorum Sensing and Tropodithietic Acid Production on the Exometabolome of Phaeobacter inhibens

Front Microbiol 2022 Jun 21;13:917969.PMID:35801100DOI:10.3389/fmicb.2022.917969.

Microbial interactions shape ecosystem diversity and chemistry through production and exchange of organic compounds, but the impact of regulatory mechanisms on production and release of these exometabolites is largely unknown. We studied the extent and nature of impact of two signaling molecules, Tropodithietic Acid (TDA) and the quorum sensing molecule acyl homoserine lactone (AHL) on the exometabolome of the model bacterium Phaeobacter inhibens DSM 17395, a member of the ubiquitous marine Roseobacter group. Exometabolomes of the wild type, a TDA and a QS (AHL-regulator) negative mutant were analyzed via Fourier-transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (FT-ICR-MS). Based on a total of 996 reproducibly detected molecular masses, exometabolomes of the TDA and QS negative mutant were ∼70% dissimilar to each other, and ∼90 and ∼60% dissimilar, respectively, to that of the wild type. Moreover, at any sampled growth phase, 40-60% of masses detected in any individual exometabolome were unique to that strain, while only 10-12% constituted a shared "core exometabolome." Putative annotation revealed exometabolites of ecological relevance such as vitamins, amino acids, auxins, siderophore components and signaling compounds with different occurrence patterns in the exometabolomes of the three strains. Thus, this study demonstrates that signaling molecules, such as AHL and TDA, extensively impact the composition of bacterial exometabolomes with potential consequences for species interactions in microbial communities.

Tropodithietic Acid production in Phaeobacter gallaeciensis is regulated by N-acyl homoserine lactone-mediated quorum sensing

J Bacteriol 2011 Dec;193(23):6576-85.PMID:21949069DOI:10.1128/JB.05818-11.

The production of N-acyl homoserine lactones (AHLs) is widely distributed within the marine Roseobacter clade, and it was proposed that AHL-mediated quorum sensing (QS) is one of the most common cell-to-cell communication mechanisms in roseobacters. The traits regulated by AHL-mediated QS are yet not known for members of the Roseobacter clade, but production of the antibiotic Tropodithietic Acid (TDA) was supposed to be controlled by AHL-mediated QS in Phaeobacter spp. We describe here for the first time the functional role of luxR and luxI homologous genes of an organism of the Roseobacter clade, i.e., pgaR and pgaI in Phaeobacter gallaeciensis. Our results demonstrate that the AHL synthase gene pgaI is responsible for production of N-3-hydroxydecanoylhomoserine lactone (3OHC(10)-HSL). Insertion mutants of pgaI and pgaR are both deficient in TDA biosynthesis and the formation of a yellow-brown pigment when grown in liquid marine broth medium. This indicates that in P. gallaeciensis the production of both secondary metabolites is controlled by AHL-mediated QS. Quantitative real-time PCR showed that the transcription level of tdaA, which encodes an essential transcriptional regulator for TDA biosynthesis, decreased 28- and 51-fold in pgaI and pgaR genetic backgrounds, respectively. These results suggest that both the response regulator PgaR and the 3OHC(10)-HSL produced by PgaI induce expression of tdaA, which in turn positively regulates expression of the tda genes. Moreover, we confirmed that TDA can also act as autoinducer in P. gallaeciensis, as previously described for Silicibacter sp. strain TM1040, but only in the presence of the response regulator PgaR.

Role is in the eye of the beholder-the multiple functions of the antibacterial compound Tropodithietic Acid produced by marine Rhodobacteraceae

FEMS Microbiol Rev 2022 May 6;46(3):fuac007.PMID:35099011DOI:10.1093/femsre/fuac007.

Many microbial secondary metabolites have been studied for decades primarily because of their antimicrobial properties. However, several of these metabolites also possess nonantimicrobial functions, both influencing the physiology of the producer and their ecological neighbors. An example of a versatile bacterial secondary metabolite with multiple functions is the tropone derivative Tropodithietic Acid (TDA). TDA is a broad-spectrum antimicrobial compound produced by several members of the Rhodobacteraceae family, a major marine bacterial lineage, within the genera Phaeobacter, Tritonibacter, and Pseudovibrio. The production of TDA is governed by the mode of growth and influenced by the availability of nutrient sources. The antibacterial effect of TDA is caused by disruption of the proton motive force of target microorganisms and, potentially, by its iron-chelating properties. TDA also acts as a signaling molecule, affecting gene expression in other bacteria, and altering phenotypic traits such as motility, biofilm formation, and antibiotic production in the producer. In microbial communities, TDA-producing bacteria cause a reduction of the relative abundance of closely related species and some fast-growing heterotrophic bacteria. Here, we summarize the current understanding of the chemical ecology of TDA, including the environmental niches of TDA-producing bacteria, and the molecular mechanisms governing the function and regulation of TDA.
