摘要:
从昆虫到哺乳动物,各种动物的肠道中都有复杂的细菌群落,这些细菌群落在健康和疾病中发挥着重要作用。为了进一步了解肠道细菌群落是如何组装和发挥作用的,我们用单一培养的细菌以及2-8种细菌的混合物喂养秀丽隐杆线虫,采用自下而上的方法研究秀丽隐杆线虫的微生物群。我们发现,由于细菌种间的相互作用,在单一培养中定殖良好的细菌在共培养中并不总是表现良好。此外,随着群落多样性的增加,在决定群落组装方面,单一培养物种在线虫肠道的定殖能力变得不如种间相互作用重要。为了探索宿主-微生物适应的作用,我们比较了从秀丽隐杆线虫肠道分离的细菌和非本地分离株,我们发现定殖的成功更多地取决于物种的分类学,而不是分离来源。最后,通过比较两个秀丽隐杆线虫突变体中组装的微生物群,我们发现通过p38 MAPK途径的先天免疫降低了细菌丰度,但对微生物群组成几乎没有影响。这些结果强调,细菌种间相互作用,比宿主-微生物适应或肠道环境过滤更重要,在秀丽隐杆线虫微生物群的组装中发挥着主导作用。

A Diagram of the C. elegans microbiota assembly and the three biological forces (orange) that might influence this process and that we study in this article. To construct and measure simple microbiotas in C. elegans, a defined number of bacterial species are fed in liquid culture to a same-age adult population of C. elegans previously sterilized with antibiotics. The liquid feeding substrate is restored every day to maintain equal bacterial concentrations during the 4 days of colonization. Afterwards, worms are mechanically disrupted in batches of ~20, and counts of colony forming units (CFU) are used to determine bacterial population sizes in the worm gut. B Phylogenetic tree from full-length 16S rRNA gene sequences of the 11 non-native bacterial species used to colonize the gut of C. elegans. C Bacterial population sizes in monoculture colonization of immunocompromised C. elegans (AU37) span two orders of magnitude. These population sizes reflect the inherent abilities of bacteria to colonize the worm intestine environment. Points are the average of eight or more biological replicates, and error bars are the standard error of the mean (s.e.m.).
A 我们在本文中研究的秀丽隐杆线虫微生物群组装图和可能影响这一过程的三种生物力(橙色)。为了构建和测量秀丽隐杆线虫中的简单微生物群,将一定数量的细菌物种以液体培养物喂养给先前用抗生素灭菌的同龄成年秀丽隐杆虫种群。每天恢复液体喂养基质,以在定殖的4天内保持相等的细菌浓度。然后,以约20个批次的数量对蠕虫进行机械破坏,并使用菌落形成单位(CFU)计数来确定蠕虫肠道中的细菌种群大小。

C 免疫功能受损的秀丽隐杆线虫(AU37)单一培养定殖中的细菌种群规模跨越两个数量级。这些种群大小反映了细菌在蠕虫肠道环境中定殖的固有能力。点是八个或多个生物重复的平均值,误差条是平均值的标准误差(s.e.m)。
Fig. 2: Monoculture colonization of the worm intestine often fails to predict composition of two-species microbiotas.图2:线虫肠道的单一培养定殖通常无法预测两种微生物群的组成。
A LEFT panels: Fractional abundances of 55 co-culture experiments in C. elegans intestine (AU37); error bars are the s.e.m. of 2–8 biological replicates (Fig. S2). Bacterial species are ordered from left to right by their mean fraction across all co-cultures. RIGHT panels: Null expectation for the fractional abundances based on a noninteracting model where each bacterial species reaches its population size in monoculture; error bars are the s.e.m. from bootstrapping over the monoculture data. * and ** represent a statistically significant difference between the two panels at p values of 0.05 and 0.01, respectively (Welch’s T test). B Coexistence of two species is more common than competitive exclusion in the worm intestine. C Low yields in two species microbiotas—relative to monocultures—are indicative of competitive interactions (Fig. S2); error bars on X-axis are the s.e.m. and on Y-axis the s.e.m. from bootstrapping over monoculture and pairwise data simultaneously. D Competitive ability, defined as the mean fractional abundance in co-culture experiments, relates to monoculture population size, but there are significant deviations; error bars on Y-axis are the propagated error from the s.e.m. of the co-culture experiments.

B Simplex representation of trio outcome and predictions in (A), with the edges of the triangle depicting the two-species microbiotas in C. elegans. The error bars on measurement are the s.e.m. of four biological replicates, and the clouds of points around predictions are 400 bootstrap replicates (“N”s sampling the monoculture data, and “W”s and “M”s sampling the pairwise data in worm and media, respectively). C Twenty trio outcomes represented in one sixth of a simplex. D 3, 8, and 9 out of the 20 trios show full competitive exclusion, two- and three-species coexistence, respectively. E Assembly rules help the quantitative prediction of the trio outcomes based on pairwise outcomes when one of the pairs is competitive exclusion. F Cumulative distribution of error of predictions. Error calculated as the linear distance between prediction and measurement in the simplex. The distances are normalized by the maximal distance, √2. The dashed line is the mean distance between the measured mean and the four biological replicates of each trio, and serves as a lower bound for the error of the predictions.

A Phylogenetic classification of previously shown laboratory species (non-native) and bacterial strains isolated from C. elegans intestines (native; dark and light blue from MYb and CR collections, respectively; Methods). Phylogenetic tree built with maximum likelihood estimate utilizing alignment of full-length 16S gene sequences. The phylogenetic tree is sorted at each internal node to have the higher monoculture colonizers at the bottom. High level phylogenetic classification is given on the left side of the tree for ease of interpretation. Stars indicate bacteria used in follow-up two-species microbiotas. B Bacterial population sizes in monoculture colonization of wild-type C. elegans (N2); error bars are s.e.m. of two to three replicates. C Left panels: Fractional abundances in two-species microbiotas with native and non-native bacteria in C. elegans intestine (AU37). Right panels: Null expectation for the fractional abundances based on monoculture population sizes. “*” and “**” represent a statistically significant difference between measurement and null expectation at p values of 0.05 and 0.01, respectively (Welch’s T test). D Although two native strains can reach substantial colonization of the worm intestine in monoculture, these strains reach low fractional abundances in two-species microbiotas. E Differences in competitive ability correlate with phylogenetic distances regardless of the isolation origin of the bacteria. Phylogenetic distances are the horizontal distances in the phylogenetic tree. Differences in competitive ability are normalized by the maximum competitive ability of the pair (i.e., competitive abilities 0.8 and 0.4 are as different as 0.2 and 0.1).

A Immune system of C. elegans reduces bacterial monoculture population sizes unevenly for different bacteria. Immunocompromised C. elegans (AU37) has larger bacterial population sizes in its intestine than immunocompetent C. elegans (GLP4). B The mean fractional abundances in co-cultures are similar between the two worm strains with different immune activity. C Composition of an intestinal microbiota in immunocompromised C. elegans AU37 and immunocompetent SS104, together with predictions based on monoculture colonization and pairwise outcomes in the same worm strains. Three or more batches of ~20 worms digested for each measurement. D Errors are the L1 norm (Manhattan distance) between measurement replicates and predictions. The variability across different batches of digested worms generates a measurement error of 9.3% and 14.2% for AU37 and SS104, respectively. The errors are normalized by 2, the maximum error. Confidence intervals of the prediction errors were calculated by bootstrapping over the corresponding data.
