- W2593447974 abstract "Reports on interactions between cyanobacteria and uranyl carbonate are rare. Here, we present an interesting succession of the metabolic responses employed by a marine, filamentous, diazotrophic cyanobacterium, Anabaena torulosa for its survival following prolonged exposure to uranyl carbonate extending up to 384 h at pH 7.8 under phosphate-limited conditions. The cells sequestered uranium (U) within polyphosphates on initial exposure to 100 μM uranyl carbonate for 24 to 28 h. Further incubation until 120 h resulted in (i) significant degradation of cellular polyphosphates causing extensive chlorosis and cell lysis, (ii) akinete differentiation followed by (iii) extracellular uranyl precipitation. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, fluorescence spectroscopy, X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES), and extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) spectroscopy established the identity of the bioprecipitated uranium as a U(VI) autunite-type mineral, which settled at the bottom of the vessel. Surprisingly, A. torulosa cells resurfaced as small green flakes typical of actively growing colonies on top of the test solutions within 192 to 240 h of U exposure. A consolidated investigation using kinetics, microscopy, and physiological and biochemical analyses suggested a role of inducible alkaline phosphatase activity of cell aggregates/akinetes in facilitating the germination of akinetes leading to substantial regeneration of A. torulosa by 384 h of uranyl incubation. The biomineralized uranium appeared to be stable following cell regeneration. Altogether, our results reveal novel insights into the survival mechanism adopted by A. torulosa to resist sustained uranium toxicity under phosphate-limited oxic conditions.IMPORTANCE Long-term effects of uranyl exposure in cyanobacteria under oxic phosphate-limited conditions have been inadequately explored. We conducted a comprehensive examination of the metabolic responses displayed by a marine cyanobacterium, Anabaena torulosa, to cope with prolonged exposure to uranyl carbonate at pH 7.8 under phosphate limitation. Our results highlight distinct adaptive mechanisms harbored by this cyanobacterium that enabled its natural regeneration following extensive cell lysis and uranium biomineralization under sustained uranium exposure. Such complex interactions between environmental microbes such as Anabaena torulosa and uranium over a broader time range advance our understanding on the impact of microbial processes on uranium biogeochemistry." @default.
