- Microalgae-bacteria interactions represent a promising approach for improving microalgal growth and biomass productivity, with potential applications in biofuel production, wastewater remediation, and the synthesis of value-added bioproducts. In this study, enriched microalgae consortia from the Tallahassee Wastewater Treatment Facility were first characterized using shotgun metagenomic sequencing to assess their taxonomic composition and functional potential. The consortia were dominated by Chlorella species and associated with diverse bacterial communities. Subsequently, bacterial strains were isolated and characterized to evaluate their potential as natural growth enhancers for microalgae. Eight bacterial isolates, Mesorhizobium sp., Enterococcus avium, Stenotrophomonas sp., Agrobacterium tumefaciens, Citrobacter freundii, Cellulosimicrobium sp., Stenotrophomonas pavanii, and Mycobacterium sp. SMC-4 were identified through 16 S rRNA sequencing and phylogenetic analysis. The influence of these isolates on microalgae was assessed using a membrane-separated coculture system that enabled metabolite exchange without direct cell-to-cell contact. Microalgal growth, monitored through optical density (OD) at 680 nm over 18 days, showed significant enhancement across all bacterial treatments compared to the reference (microalgae without bacteria). The most pronounced effects were observed with Mesorhizobium sp., Enterococcus avium, Stenotrophomonas sp., and Agrobacterium tumefaciens, which exhibited the highest growth responses. These findings suggest that wastewater-derived bacteria can substantially enhance microalgal growth performance, likely through metabolite-mediated interactions. This study expands the repository of algal-supportive bacterial taxa and highlights the potential of targeted microalgae-bacteria consortia for scalable and sustainable bioprocessing. - Source: PubMed

Mwazembe Kerstin JosephChauhan AshviniPathak AshishChukwujindu Christian - Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is characterized by aberrant vascular remodeling driven in part by excessive proliferation of pulmonary arterial smooth muscle cells (PASMCs). However, the molecular determinants underlying this cancer-like phenotype remain incompletely defined. - Source: PubMed

Here we investigated the underlying mechanism by calling mtDNA sequence, mtDNA abundance and mtDNA heteroplasmic variants in human blood using whole-genome sequences from approximately 750,000 individuals. We observed that mtDNA single-nucleotide variants (mtSNVs) accumulate sharply at age 60 years, occur at low levels of heteroplasmy, exhibit little evidence of positive selection and are likely to be predominantly neutral. The mutational spectrum of mtSNVs does not reflect oxidative lesions, as is commonly invoked, but is more consistent with mtDNA replication errors. To understand why mtSNVs become detectable with age, we performed a genome-wide association study for heteroplasmic mtSNV burden, identifying germline variants near TERT, TCL1A and SMC4, all of which have been linked to clonal haematopoiesis (CH). Rare-variant analysis also showed that high mtSNV burden is associated with mutations in numerous CH driver genes. These genetic associations persisted even after exclusion of individuals with known CH driver mutations. Our results support a model in which 'cryptic' mtDNA mutations initially arise randomly as replication errors but are undetectable in bulk. They then become apparent only through age-related expansion of cellular clones in blood. We propose that the high copy number and mutation rate of mtDNA make it a sensitive blood-based marker of somatic mosaicism due to CH. Our work mechanistically unifies three prominent signatures of ageing: common germline variants in TERT, CH and observed accrual of mtDNA mutations. - Source: PubMed
