Abstract:
ABSTRACTA new clade of archaea has recently been proposed to constitute the seventh methanogenic order, theMethanomassiliicoccales, which is related to theThermoplasmatalesand the uncultivated archaeal clades deep-sea hydrothermal ventEuryarchaeotagroup 2 and marine group IIEuryarchaeotabut only distantly related to other methanogens. In this study, we investigated the membrane lipid composition ofMethanomassiliicoccus luminyensis, the sole cultured representative of this seventh order. The lipid inventory ofM. luminyensiscomprises a unique assemblage of novel lipids as well as lipids otherwise typical for thermophilic, methanogenic, or halophilic archaea. For instance, glycerol sesterpanyl-phytanyl diether core lipids found mainly in halophilic archaea were detected, and so were compounds bearing either heptose or methoxylated glycosidic head groups, neither of which have been reported so far for other archaea. The absence of quinones or methanophenazines is consistent with a biochemistry of methanogenesis different from that of the methanophenazine-containing methylotrophic methanogens. The most distinctive characteristic of the membrane lipid composition ofM. luminyensis, however, is the presence of tetraether lipids in which one glycerol backbone is replaced by either butane- or pentanetriol, i.e., lipids recently discovered in marine sediments. Butanetriol dibiphytanyl glycerol tetraether (BDGT) constitutes the most abundant core lipid type (>50% relative abundance) inM. luminyensis. We have thus identified a source for these unusual orphan lipids. The complementary analysis of diverse marine sediment samples showed that BDGTs are widespread in anoxic layers, suggesting an environmental significance ofMethanomassiliicoccalesand/or related BDGT producers beyond gastrointestinal tracts.IMPORTANCECellular membranes of members of all three domains of life,Archaea,Bacteria, andEukarya, are largely formed by lipids in which glycerol serves as backbone for the hydrophobic alkyl chains. Recently, however, archaeal tetraether lipids with either butanetriol or pentanetriol as a backbone were identified in marine sediments and attributed to uncultured sediment-dwelling archaea. Here we show that the butanetriol-based dibiphytanyl tetraethers constitute the major lipids inMethanomassiliicoccus luminyensis, currently the only isolate of the novel seventh order of methanogens. Given the absence of these lipids in a large set of archaeal isolates, these compounds may be diagnostic for theMethanomassiliicoccalesand/or closely related archaea.

Abstract:
During attempts to obtain novel, human-associated species of the domain Archaea , a coccoid micro-organism, designated strain B10T, was isolated in pure culture from a sample of human faeces collected in Marseille, France. On the basis of its phenotypic characteristics and 16S rRNA and mcrA gene sequences, the novel strain was classified as a methanogenic archaeon. Cells of the strain were non-motile, Gram-staining-positive cocci that were approximately 850 nm in diameter and showed autofluorescence at 420 nm. Cells were lysed by 0.1 % (w/v) SDS. With hydrogen as the electron donor, strain B10T produced methane by reducing methanol. The novel strain was unable to produce methane when hydrogen or methanol was the sole energy source. In an atmosphere containing CO2, strain B10T could not produce methane from formate, acetate, trimethylamine, 2-butanol, 2-propanol, cyclopentanol, 2-pentanol, ethanol, 1-propanol or 2,3-butanediol. Strain B10T grew optimally with 0.5–1.0 % (w/v) NaCl, at pH 7.6 and at 37 °C. It required tungstate-selenite for growth. The complete genome of the novel strain was sequenced; the size of the genome was estimated to be 2.05 Mb and the genomic DNA G+C content was 59.93 mol%. In phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences, the highest sequence similarities (98.0–98.7 %) were seen between strain B10T and several uncultured, methanogenic Archaea that had been collected from the digestive tracts of a cockroach, a chicken and mammals. In the same analysis, the non-methanogenic ‘Candidatus Aciduliprofundum boonei’ DSM 19572 was identified as the cultured micro-organism that was most closely related to strain B10T (83.0 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity). Each of the three treeing algorithms used in the analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strain B10T belongs to a novel order that is distinct from the Thermoplasmatales . The novel strain also appeared to be distinct from Methanosphaera stadtmanae DSM 3091T (72.9 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity), another methanogenic archaeon that was isolated from human faeces and can use methanol in the presence of hydrogen. Based on the genetic and phenotypic evidence, strain B10T represents a novel species of a new genus for which the name Methanomassiliicoccus luminyensis gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain of the type species is B10T ( = DSM 24529T = CSUR P135T).

Abstract:
Abstract. Butanetriol and pentanetriol dialkyl glycerol tetraethers (BDGTs and PDGTs) are membrane lipids, recently discovered in sedimentary environments and in the methanogenic archaeon Methanomassiliicoccus luminyensis. They possess an unusual structure, which challenges fundamental assumptions in lipid biochemistry. Indeed, they bear a butanetriol or a pentanetriol backbone instead of a glycerol at one end of their core structure. In this study, we unambiguously located the additional methyl group of the BDGT compound on the C3 carbon of the lipid backbone via high-field nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) experiments. We further systematically explored the abundance, distribution and isotopic composition of BDGTs and PDGTs as both intact polar and core lipid forms in marine sediments collected in contrasting environments of the Mediterranean Sea and Black Sea. High proportions of intact polar BDGTs and PDGTs in the deeper methane-laden sedimentary layers and relatively 13C-depleted BDGTs, especially in the Rhone Delta and in the Black Sea, are in agreement with a probable methanogenic source for these lipids. However, contributions from heterotrophic Archaea to BDGTs (and PDGTs) cannot be excluded, particularly in the eastern Mediterranean Sea, and contrasting BDGT and PDGT headgroup distribution patterns were observed between the different sites studied. This points to additional, non-methanogenic, archaeal sources for these lipids.

Abstract:
Methanogens are members of anaerobe microbiota of the digestive tract of mammals, including humans. However, the sources, modes of acquisition, and dynamics of digestive tract methanogens remain poorly investigated. In this study, we aimed to expand the spectrum of animals that could be sources of methanogens for humans by exploring methanogen carriage in animals. We used real-time PCR, PCR-sequencing, and multispacer sequence typing to investigate the presence of methanogens in 407 fecal specimens collected from nine different mammalian species investigated here. While all the negative controls remained negative, we obtained by PCR-sequencing seven different species of methanogens, of which three (Methanobrevibacter smithii, Methanobrevibacter millerae and Methanomassiliicoccus luminyensis) are known to be part of the methanogens present in the human digestive tract. M. smithii was found in 24 cases, including 12/24 (50%) in pigs, 6/24 (25%) in dogs, 4/24 (16.66%) in cats, and 1/24 (4.16%) in both sheep and horses. Genotyping these 24 M. smithii revealed five different genotypes, all known in humans. Our results are fairly representative of the methanogen community present in the digestive tract of certain animals domesticated by humans, and other future studies must be done to try to cultivate methanogens here detected by molecular biology to better understand the dynamics of methanogens in animals and also the likely acquisition of methanogens in humans through direct contact with these animals or through consumption of the meat and/or milk of certain animals, in particular cows.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT Methanogenesis is the final step in the anaerobic degradation of organic matter. The most important substrates of methanogens are hydrogen plus carbon dioxide and acetate, but also the use of methanol, methylated amines, and aromatic methoxy groups appears to be more widespread than originally thought. Except for most members of the family Methanosarcinaceae, all methylotrophic methanogens require external hydrogen as reductant and therefore compete with hydrogenotrophic methanogens for this common substrate. Since methanogenesis from carbon dioxide consumes four molecules of hydrogen per molecule of methane, whereas methanogenesis from methanol requires only one, methyl-reducing methanogens should have an energetic advantage over hydrogenotrophic methanogens at low hydrogen partial pressures. However, experimental data on their hydrogen threshold is scarce and suffers from relatively high detection limits. Here, we show that the methyl-reducing methanogens Methanosphaera stadtmanae (Methanobacteriales), Methanimicrococcus blatticola (Methanosarcinales), and Methanomassiliicoccus luminyensis (Methanomassiliicoccales) consume hydrogen to partial pressures < 0.1 Pa, which is almost one order of magnitude lower than the thresholds for M. stadtmanae and M. blatticola reported in the only previous study on this topic. We conclude that methylotrophic methanogens should outcompete hydrogenotrophic methanogens for hydrogen and that their activity is limited by the availability of methyl groups.

Abstract:
Les Archaea methanogènes sont des organismes environnementaux ayant été également détectés dans certaines flores associées aux muqueuses des mammifères. Chez l’homme ces microorganismes ont été associés avec les muqueuses intestinale, vaginale et orale. Ces organismes sont des procaryotes anaérobies stricts et leurs conditions de culture restent fastidieuses et très mal connues. En effet, uniquement trois Archaea methanogènes ont été cultivées à partir de prélèvements humains, Methanobrevibater smithii et Methanosphaera stadtmanae à partir des selles puis Methanobrevibater oralis à partir de la plaque dentaire. Récemment l’ADN d’autres Archaea methanogènes et d’Archaea non-methanogènes a été détecté dans des selles humaines, y compris des séquences indiquant la présence d’espèces appartenant à un nouvel ordre de méthanogènes n’ayant aucun représentant cultivé. La connaissance actuelle sur la diversité de ces methanogènes chez l’homme et sur leurs effets potentiels sur la santé humaine est en grande partie basée sur les techniques de détection de l’ADN par PCR et métagénomique. Ces techniques fondées sur la détection de l’ADN ribosomal 16S et du gène mcrA codant la sous-unité alpha du methyl-coenzyme M reductase, une enzyme clé dans le processus de méthanogenèse, ont montré dans un premier temps que M. smithii était détecté chez moins de 50% des individus et M. stadtmanae chez 0-20 % seulement. Ces résultats étaient contradictoires avec le rôle de la méthanogenèse dans l’élimination des acides et d’autres produits du processus digestion, et nous avons émis l’hypothèse que ces résultats pouvaient ne pas refléter la quantité réelle des méthanogènes dans le tube digestif humain, suggérant la mise au point de nouvelles méthodes de détection moléculaire et de culture adaptées aux caractéristiques de ces organismes fastidieux. Dans ce travail, nous nous sommes fixés comme premier objectif de mettre au point une méthode moléculaire permettant de détecter M. smithii chez tous les individus testés et nous avons mis au point un protocole d’extraction et de détection d’ADN d’Archaea à partir des selles en se basant sur les génomes séquencés de M. smithii et M. stadtmanae. Ce protocole nous a permis de détecter M. smithii chez 95,5% des individus et M. stadtmanae chez 29,4% des individus. En ce basant sur ce protocole et moyennant une approche moléculaire basée sur une PCR universelle de l’ADN ribosomal 16S des méthanogènes, le séquençage et le clonage, nous avons également détecté chez 4% de la population, une séquence correspondant à un phylotype (FJ823135) ayant déjà été rapporté comme représentant un nouvel ordre de méthanogènes. A partir de là, nous avons choisi un prélèvement de selle susceptible de contenir le plus fort ratio de FJ823135/ M. smithii et nous avons réussi à isoler et à cultiver une nouvelle Archaea que nous avons nommé Methanomassiliicoccus luminyensis, premier représentant cultivé d’un nouvel ordre de méthanogènes et la quatrième Archaea cultivée chez l’homme. M. luminyensis et M. stadtmanae présentent des métabolismes similaires en réduisant le méthanol en méthane en utilisant l’hydrogène comme donneur d’électrons, cette observation nous a incité à tester l’addition de tungstate de sélénium, requis pour la croissance de M. luminyensis, dans une culture M. stadtmanae, et nous avons observé une accélération de la vitesse de croissance de M. stadtmanae par un facteur 3. Nous avons ensuite étudié la sensibilité des méthanogènes isolés chez l’homme aux antibiotiques et établi qu’ils sont seulement sensibles à des molécules efficaces contre les bactéries et les eucaryotes, ceci étant en accord avec leur position phylogénétique en tant qu’un des quatre domaines de la vie. [...]<br>Methanogenic Archaea are environmental organisms which have also been associated to mammals mucosa. In humans these microorganisms have been detected in the vaginal, intestinal and oral mucosa. These organisms are strict anaerobes and their culture conditions remains fastidious and poorly known. In fact only three methanogens have been isolated from human samples, both Methanobrevibater smithii and Methanosphaera stadtmanae from stool and Methanobrevibater oralis from dental plaque. Current knowledge on the diversity of methanogens in humans and their potential effects on human health were largely based on DNA detection methods as PCR and metagenomics. These techniques based on 16S rDNA and mcrA gene (encoding the alpha subunit of methyl coenzyme-M-reductase, a key enzyme in methanogenesis process) detection, showed that M. smithii was the most present in man and that the presence of M. stadtmanae was transient. Recently, the DNA of other methanogenic and non- methanogenic Archaea, has been detected in human feces, including sequences indicating the presence of non-cultured species belonging to potential new order of methanogens with no cultured representative. However, these studies detected M. smithii with variable prevalence in less than half of the tested individuals and no M. stadtmanae; such results does not confirm the paramount role of methanogenesis in preventing the accumulation of acids and other reaction end products during the digestion process, and can not reflect the actual amount of these two methanogens in the human digestive tract because of their specific association with the intestinal mucosa. Therefore, these studies pointed that the diversity of methanogens in humans has been underestimated suggesting the development of new molecular detection methods and cultural approaches adapted these fastidious organisms. In this work, we preset as first criteria, the detection of M. smithii in all tested individuals, therefore we developed an improved protocol for archaeal DNA extraction and detection from stool based on sequenced genomes of M. smithii and M. stadtmanae, this protocol allowed us to detect the first one DNA in 95.5% tested individuals and the second in a prevalence of 29.4%. Based on this protocol and through molecular approach based on universal amplification of methanogenic 16S rDNA, sequencing and cloning, we detected in 4% of the tested population, a sequence corresponding to a new phylotype (FJ823135) that has been previously reported and proposed as a representative of a new order of methanogens. From there, we chose one stool specimen susceptible to contain the highest amount of FJ823135 and successfully isolated Methanomassiliicoccus luminyensis B10T clone, the first cultured representative of a new order of methanogens and the fourth Archaea cultured in humans.This archaeon exhibited a similar type of metabolism to that of M. stadtmanae by oxidizing H2 and reducing methanol to methane but require tungstate-selenite, an element essential for its growth, this fact prompted us testing tungstate-selenite addition on M. stadtmanae growth and establishing that it was strongly stimulatory with a growth rate three times faster. We have thereafter studied the sensitivity of methanogens isolated from humans to antibiotics and established that they are susceptible only to molecules also effective against both Bacteria and Eucarya, in agreement with their phylogenetic location as a unique domain of life. The aim of the latter part of this work was to test the effectiveness of MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry identification of environmental and host-associated Archaea. The obtained data indicated that that MALDI-TOF-MS protein profiling is an efficient first-line step for the rapid phenotypic identification of cultured Archaea organisms including host-associated ones.
