- W4322758041 abstract "The study of microorganisms in outer space has focused mainly on investigating phenotypic changes in microbial pathogens induced by factors encountered in space. This study aimed to investigate the effect of space exposure on a probiotic bacterium, Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus Probio-M9. Probio-M9 cells were exposed to space in a spaceflight. Interestingly, our results showed that a substantial proportion of space-exposed mutants (35/100) exhibited a ropy phenotype, characterized by their larger colony sizes and an acquired ability to produce capsular polysaccharide (CPS), compared with the original Probio-M9 or the ground control isolates without space exposure. Whole-genome sequencing analyses on both the Illumina and PacBio platforms revealed a skewed distribution of single nucleotide polymorphisms (12/89 [13.5%]) toward the CPS gene cluster, particularly in the wze (ywqD) gene. The wze gene encodes a putative tyrosine-protein kinase that regulates CPS expression through substrate phosphorylation. Transcriptomics analysis of two space-exposed ropy mutants revealed increased expression in the wze gene relative to a ground control isolate. Finally, we showed that the acquired ropy phenotype (CPS-producing ability) and space-induced genomic changes could be stably inherited. Our findings confirmed that the wze gene directly influences the capacity for CPS production in Probio-M9, and space mutagenesis is a potential strategy for inducing stable physiological changes in probiotics. IMPORTANCE This work investigated the effect of space exposure on a probiotic bacterium, Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus Probio-M9. Interestingly, the space-exposed bacteria became capable of producing capsular polysaccharide (CPS). Some probiotic-derived CPSs have nutraceutical potential and bioactive properties. They also enhance the survival of probiotics through the gastrointestinal transit and ultimately strengthen the probiotic effects. Space mutagenesis seems to be a promising strategy for inducing stable changes in probiotics, and the obtained high-CPS-yielding mutants are valuable resources for future applications." @default.
