GNPS - Harmful algal bloom species Microcystis aeruginosa releases thiamin antivitamins to suppress competitors

Description

In environmental ecosystems, vitamin concentrations are often exceedingly low and auxotrophy, or reliance on exogenous vitamin or vitamin precursors, is widespread. We show here that the widespread harmful algal bloom (HAB) species Microcystis aeruginosa, threatening freshwater aquatic ecosystems globally, releases a complex mixture of thiamin antivitamins, including bacimethrin and methoxythiamin, which induce thiamin deficiency in the model green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. Putative biosynthetic genes for bacimethrin were upregulated in M. aeruginosa when grown in co-culture resulting in greater production of bacimethrin. Bacimethrin, methoxythiamin, oxidized forms of thiamin and methoxythiamin, and a novel structural homolog of bacimethrin were all found at elevated levels in the co-culture exometabolome extracts and were all inhibitory to the growth of C. reinhardtii individually at very low concentrations and as a mixture in culture medium extracts. The thiamin-requiring mutant C. reinhardtii, CC-25, was much more sensitive to bacimethrin and methoxythiamin than the wildtype. Thiamin addition largely rescued the inhibitory effects of exposure to antivitamins in both the wildtype and mutant strain. Finally, we determined that bacimethrin is present in aquatic environments and is elevated during Microcystis blooms. Thus, allelopathic suppression of competitors, particularly those that are auxotrophic for thiamin, by M. aeruginosa via the production of antivitamins in environments where thiamin availability is low, could help this species to become dominant and form blooms [doi:10.25345/C5930P72Q] [dataset license: CC0 1.0 Universal (CC0 1.0)]

Click here to queue conversion of this dataset's submitted spectrum files to open formats (e.g. mzML). This process may take some time.

When complete, the converted files will be available in the "ccms_peak" subdirectory of the dataset's FTP space (accessible via the "FTP Download" link to the right).
Number of distinct conditions across all analyses (original submission and reanalyses) associated with this dataset.

Distinct condition labels are counted across all files submitted in the "Metadata" category having a "Condition" column in this dataset.

"N/A" means no results of this type were submitted.
Number of distinct biological replicates across all analyses (original submission and reanalyses) associated with this dataset.

Distinct replicate labels are counted across all files submitted in the "Metadata" category having a "BioReplicate" or "Replicate" column in this dataset.

"N/A" means no results of this type were submitted.
Number of distinct technical replicates across all analyses (original submission and reanalyses) associated with this dataset.

The technical replicate count is defined as the maximum number of times any one distinct combination of condition and biological replicate was analyzed across all files submitted in the "Metadata" category. In the case of fractionated experiments, only the first fraction is considered.

"N/A" means no results of this type were submitted.
Originally identified proteins that were automatically remapped by MassIVE to proteins in the SwissProt human reference database.

"N/A" means no results of this type were submitted.
Number of distinct protein accessions reported across all analyses (original submission and reanalyses) associated with this dataset.

"N/A" means no results of this type were submitted.
Number of distinct unmodified peptide sequences reported across all analyses (original submission and reanalyses) associated with this dataset.

"N/A" means no results of this type were submitted.
Number of distinct peptide sequences (including modified variants or peptidoforms) reported across all analyses (original submission and reanalyses) associated with this dataset.

"N/A" means no results of this type were submitted.
Total number of peptide-spectrum matches (i.e. spectrum identifications) reported across all analyses (original submission and reanalyses) associated with this dataset.

"N/A" means no results of this type were submitted.
Number of distinct proteins quantified across all analyses (original submission and reanalyses) associated with this dataset.

Distinct protein accessions are counted across all files submitted in the "Statistical Analysis of Quantified Analytes" category having a "Protein" column in this dataset.

"N/A" means no results of this type were submitted.
Number of distinct proteins found to be differentially abundant in at least one comparison across all analyses (original submission and reanalyses) associated with this dataset.

A protein is differentially abundant if its change in abundance across conditions is found to be statistically significant with an adjusted p-value <= 0.05 and lists no issues associated with statistical tests for differential abundance.

Distinct protein accessions are counted across all files submitted in the "Statistical Analysis of Quantified Analytes" category having a "Protein" column in this dataset.

"N/A" means no results of this type were submitted.
This dataset may not contain all raw spectra data as originally deposited in PRIDE. It has been imported to MassIVE for reanalysis purposes, so its spectra data here may consist solely of processed peak lists suitable for reanalysis with most software.
