Study ID	ST002062
Study Title	Endophytic bacteria are key players in the modulation of the secondary metabolome of Lithospermum officinale L.
Study Summary	Endophytic bacteria influence plant growth and development and therefore are an attractive resource for applications in agriculture. However, little is known about the impact of these microorganisms on secondary metabolite (SM) production by medicinal plants. Here we assessed, for the first time, the effects of root endophytic bacteria on the modulation of SMs in the medicinal plant Lithospermum officinale (Boraginaceae family), with a focus on the naphthoquinones alkannin/shikonin (A/S). The study was conducted using a newly developed in vitro system as well as in the greenhouse. Targeted and non-targeted metabolomics approaches were used and supported by expression analysis of the gene PGT, encoding a key enzyme in the A/S biosynthesis pathway. Three bacterial strains, Chitinophaga sp. R-73072, Xanthomonas sp. R-73098 and Pseudomonas sp. R-71838 induced a significant increase of diverse SMs, including A/S, in L. officinale in both systems, demonstrating the strength of our approach for screening A/S derivative-inducing bacteria. Our results highlight the impact of root-endophytic bacteria on secondary metabolism in plants and indicate that production of A/S derivatives in planta likely involves cross-modulation of different metabolic pathways that can be manipulated by bacterial endophytes.

Project Title:	MICROMETABOLITE
Project Summary:	The overall objective of MICROMETABOLITE is to explore interactions between plants and microorganisms involved in the production of secondary metabolites (SM) for introducing novel ingredients in pharmaceutical and cosmeceutical industry. Effects of microorganisms on the plant metabolome and the biosynthesis of bioactive SM will be studied in the Boraginaceae plant family, aimed at optimising plant cultivation and alkannins/shikonins (A/S) production. Microorganisms will be integrated in plant production systems, and protocols needed for efficient implementation in industry will be elaborated. Thereby a platform will be established that will support long-term interactions between academia and industry.

Collection:

Collection ID:	CO002137
Collection Summary:	Six glass jars with three plants each were used per treatment. Each jar containing three plants was thus considered as a biological replicate; six biological replicates per treatment were used. The treatments consisted of inoculating bacteria. PBS was used as a negative control treatment. Plants were grown for seven weeks. The root system of each plant was harvested separately and fresh weight was recorded before lyophilisation. The dry weight was then measured and the samples stored at -80 C for analysis of the content of A/Sd by targeted and non-targeted metabolomics
Sample Type:	Plant

Treatment:

Treatment ID:	TR002156
Treatment Summary:	A set of 50 bacteria previously isolated from another A/Sd-producing plant, Alkanna tinctoria L. (Tausch), was selected based on diversity and on phenotypic traits tested in vitro (Rat et al., 2021). The 50 strains were first grown in 35 ml Reasoner’s 2A broth (R2B, Acumedia) at 28°C, 100 rpm for 72 h. Before preparing the inocula, 5 ml of each bacterial culture was sampled and used to estimate bacterial concentrations via counting of colony-forming units (CFU), while the remaining culture was used as inoculum. The inoculum was centrifuged at 4°C, 14000 rpm for 10 min, the supernatant was discarded, and the pellet was preserved in 2 ml of R2B medium supplemented with 10% glycerol. Bacterial pellets were then stored at -20°C until inoculation. To prepare the inoculum, a pellet was suspended in 28 ml of sterile phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) at pH 7.4. The resuspended inoculum was then adjusted to a concentration of 104-106 CFU/ml, and ten µl were used to inoculate each plant. The bacterial suspension was first injected in the MSRmod medium with a micropipette. Then, a shoot tip of L. officinale of 3.5 cm length was selected and the top two-three leaves were removed by cutting. The plant was finally transferred in sterile conditions and inserted at the positions where the bacteria had been injected in the medium. Plants treated with only PBS were used as non-inoculated controls. To avoid light in the root compartment, which can inhibit the production of shikonin (Yazaki et al., 1999), the surface of the medium was covered with sterilized (in an oven at 145°C during 10 h) quartz sand and the lower half of the jar was wrapped with aluminium foil (Figure 1). The jars were then incubated in a growth chamber at 20ºC, 16:8 h light:dark, with a light intensity of 50 µmol m-2s-1. Plants were harvested for analysis after seven weeks of incubation

Sample Preparation:

Sampleprep ID:	SP002150
Sampleprep Summary:	The lyophilised roots were ground to a fine powder using a ball mill (Fritsch Pulverisette 0, Germany). For each powdered sample, a subsample of 35 mg was placed into microcentrifuge tubes for SMs extraction with 1.5 ml of methanol (LC-MS grade, Honeywell Riedel de Haën, USA) in an ultrasound bath at 10% power for three hours (Bandelin Sonorex Digital 10P, Berlin, Germany) followed by centrifugation for 10 minutes at 12500 rpm (Hermle Z 216 MK, Wehingen, Germany). The supernatants were collected and subjected to Ultra-High-Performance Liquid Chromatography-High Resolution Mass Spectrometry (UHPLC-HRMS) analysis, after filtering with 0.22 μm polytetrafluorethylene (PTFE) filters.
