摘要 | Light is a ubiquitous energy source and environmental signal that broadly impacts the lifestyle of a large number of photosynthetic/nonphotosynthetic microorganisms living in the euphotic layer. However, the responses of deep-sea microbes to light are largely unknown, even though blue light is proposed to be distributed in the deep ocean. Here, we successfully cultured a novel bacterial species, named Spongiibacter nanhainus CSC3.9, from deep-sea cold seep samples by a blue light induction approach. The growth of strain CSC3.9 was obviously promoted by the illumination of blue light. We next determined BLUF (a typical blue light photo-receptor) was the most essential factor directing light sensing of strain CSC3.9 through a combined proteomic and genetic method. The function of light sensing mediated by BLUF was further confirmed by the in vitro-synthesized protein. Notably, homologs of BLUF widely existed across the marine microorganisms (containing Spongiibacter species) derived from different environments, including cold seeps. This strongly indicates that the distribution of light utilization by the nonphototrophic bacteria living in the ocean is broad and has been substantially underestimated. IMPORTANCE Extensive studies have been conducted to explore the mechanisms of light sensing and utilization by microorganisms that live in the photic zone. Strikingly, accumulated evidence shows that light is distributed in the deep biosphere. However, the existence and process of light sensing and utilization by microbes inhabiting the deep ocean have been seldom reported. In the present study, a novel bacterial strain, Spongiibacter nanhainus CSC3.9, was enriched and purified from a deep-sea cold seep sample through a blue light induction method. Combined with genomic, proteomic, genetic, and biochemical approaches, the mechanism of this novel strain sensing blue light through a BLUF-dependent pathway was detailed. Our study provides a good model to study the mechanisms of light sensing mediated by deep-sea nonphototrophic bacteria. |
