1 00:00:00,790 --> 00:00:07,320 [Music] 2 00:00:12,340 --> 00:00:09,060 [Applause] 3 00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:12,350 all right thank you all for thank you to 4 00:00:16,390 --> 00:00:14,570 the convenience Guinea's for having me 5 00:00:18,429 --> 00:00:16,400 in this session and for all of you for 6 00:00:20,380 --> 00:00:18,439 sticking doll of the very end pretty 7 00:00:23,080 --> 00:00:20,390 much the second last talk is pretty much 8 00:00:25,839 --> 00:00:23,090 the end I'm going to switch gears and 9 00:00:27,639 --> 00:00:25,849 move to laboratory investigations from 10 00:00:29,460 --> 00:00:27,649 from theoretical conversations in the 11 00:00:31,389 --> 00:00:29,470 previous talk and talk about 12 00:00:33,490 --> 00:00:31,399 physiological mechanisms and mineral 13 00:00:37,690 --> 00:00:33,500 transformations of hyperthermophilic ion 14 00:00:39,819 --> 00:00:37,700 reduction so this is probably a gross 15 00:00:42,220 --> 00:00:39,829 oversimplification but I want to remind 16 00:00:44,709 --> 00:00:42,230 and reiterate that on earth we know that 17 00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:44,719 biology greatly influences geology and 18 00:00:49,419 --> 00:00:46,850 it's this coevolution of life and Earth 19 00:00:51,579 --> 00:00:49,429 that yields organic geochemical and 20 00:00:53,799 --> 00:00:51,589 mineral clues to trace and describe some 21 00:00:55,750 --> 00:00:53,809 of the earliest life on our planet now 22 00:00:58,630 --> 00:00:55,760 among the mineral clues that we turn to 23 00:01:00,430 --> 00:00:58,640 our iron minerals such as iron oxides 24 00:01:02,069 --> 00:01:00,440 that we know today have been central to 25 00:01:05,439 --> 00:01:02,079 some of the earliest biological 26 00:01:08,260 --> 00:01:05,449 metabolisms yet when we look at the rock 27 00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:08,270 record from a mineral perspective we 28 00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:10,370 don't know if we can discern a truly 29 00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:13,250 microvilli altered mineral so one 30 00:01:17,770 --> 00:01:14,930 approach to doing this would be perhaps 31 00:01:20,650 --> 00:01:17,780 to examine one specific micro mineral 32 00:01:22,930 --> 00:01:20,660 process to really get at identifying its 33 00:01:26,410 --> 00:01:22,940 mineral signatures and the mechanisms by 34 00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:26,420 which they form so I'm gonna make the 35 00:01:30,610 --> 00:01:28,370 argument that we can explore and better 36 00:01:33,460 --> 00:01:30,620 understand a micro mineral process such 37 00:01:36,730 --> 00:01:33,470 as hyperthermophilic ion reduction to do 38 00:01:38,530 --> 00:01:36,740 this now a hyperthermophiles just to 39 00:01:41,050 --> 00:01:38,540 revisit this fer of people in this 40 00:01:43,210 --> 00:01:41,060 audience who may not be a microbiologist 41 00:01:45,310 --> 00:01:43,220 a hypothermia file is an organism that 42 00:01:47,950 --> 00:01:45,320 grows optimally above 80 degrees Celsius 43 00:01:49,990 --> 00:01:47,960 and an iron reducer is an organism that 44 00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:50,000 couples the oxidation of organics or 45 00:01:54,430 --> 00:01:51,410 hydrogen with the extra cellular 46 00:01:56,140 --> 00:01:54,440 reduction of an iron oxide source to 47 00:01:58,360 --> 00:01:56,150 gain energy now this type of microbial 48 00:01:59,980 --> 00:01:58,370 metabolism occurs widely in in 49 00:02:02,500 --> 00:01:59,990 terrestrial hot springs in deep sea 50 00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:02,510 hydrothermal vents yet our understanding 51 00:02:10,570 --> 00:02:04,610 of its physiology as well as mineral 52 00:02:12,460 --> 00:02:10,580 transformations is extremely limited so 53 00:02:14,350 --> 00:02:12,470 we're actually probing and trying to 54 00:02:16,089 --> 00:02:14,360 understand this process a little closely 55 00:02:18,099 --> 00:02:16,099 using a model system a model 56 00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:18,109 crenarchaeota called podrick pardek Tim 57 00:02:22,210 --> 00:02:20,810 Delaney a type strain su o6 58 00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:22,220 now I want to highlight a few key 59 00:02:26,380 --> 00:02:24,050 characteristics about this organism 60 00:02:28,930 --> 00:02:26,390 before going any further so by reading 61 00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:28,940 Tim Delaney I is a isolate that was 62 00:02:32,980 --> 00:02:30,410 taken from an actively venting 63 00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:32,990 hydrothermal chimney and that grows 64 00:02:38,710 --> 00:02:36,050 optimally at 90 degrees Celsius and it's 65 00:02:40,479 --> 00:02:38,720 hydrogen atrophic and when it comes to 66 00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:40,489 electron acceptors it can only really 67 00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:43,250 use an insoluble iron oxide such as 68 00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:45,770 Farah hydride and nitrate but it is 69 00:02:51,070 --> 00:02:48,530 unable to use any soluble iron such as 70 00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:51,080 ferric citrate or any macro particulate 71 00:02:56,949 --> 00:02:53,330 crystalline oxides such as birth I'd 72 00:03:00,070 --> 00:02:56,959 hematite or magnetite now when it comes 73 00:03:02,199 --> 00:03:00,080 to looking at its genome we find that 74 00:03:04,630 --> 00:03:02,209 its genome encodes for these 17 75 00:03:05,949 --> 00:03:04,640 predicted C type cytochromes and many of 76 00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:05,959 these C type cytochromes are actually 77 00:03:11,860 --> 00:03:08,810 Multi heme proteins which we know from 78 00:03:13,990 --> 00:03:11,870 model mesophilic bacteria are are 79 00:03:18,460 --> 00:03:14,000 essential for extracellular electron 80 00:03:20,979 --> 00:03:18,470 transfer so we started off by asking 81 00:03:22,540 --> 00:03:20,989 that given this organism only given that 82 00:03:26,050 --> 00:03:22,550 this organism only grows on these 83 00:03:27,850 --> 00:03:26,060 insoluble iron oxides but not on any 84 00:03:30,789 --> 00:03:27,860 soluble iron does it use some of these 85 00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:30,799 other iron mineral phases and to really 86 00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:32,690 get at this question we decided to 87 00:03:37,780 --> 00:03:34,690 synthesize a range of nano phase 88 00:03:39,789 --> 00:03:37,790 minerals these several of these 89 00:03:42,850 --> 00:03:39,799 different types of iron oxides to test 90 00:03:45,069 --> 00:03:42,860 for growth and we found overall that the 91 00:03:46,990 --> 00:03:45,079 organism grows on a wide range of these 92 00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:47,000 minerals when they're presented as these 93 00:03:52,090 --> 00:03:50,570 nano particulate mineral phases I'll be 94 00:03:55,479 --> 00:03:52,100 to varying degrees depending on the 95 00:03:57,640 --> 00:03:55,489 oxide it grew to the highest cell 96 00:04:00,610 --> 00:03:57,650 concentration at the fastest growth rate 97 00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:00,620 producing the most Fe to using Farah 98 00:04:05,770 --> 00:04:03,410 hydride it grew to moderate cell 99 00:04:08,140 --> 00:04:05,780 concentrations growth rates and Fe to 100 00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:08,150 production using AK again a deliberate 101 00:04:14,020 --> 00:04:10,690 across I'd shown in green and orange and 102 00:04:16,300 --> 00:04:14,030 to the lowest cell concentrations growth 103 00:04:17,949 --> 00:04:16,310 rates and Fe to production using 104 00:04:20,710 --> 00:04:17,959 goethite and hematite now these results 105 00:04:22,529 --> 00:04:20,720 are not unsurprising given the expected 106 00:04:26,140 --> 00:04:22,539 crystallinity and thermodynamic 107 00:04:29,260 --> 00:04:26,150 stability of these phases but what is a 108 00:04:31,390 --> 00:04:29,270 key finding here is that the organism 109 00:04:33,070 --> 00:04:31,400 can use this wide range of minerals when 110 00:04:36,820 --> 00:04:33,080 we think about mineral parameters such 111 00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:39,140 now next we wanted to know given that 112 00:04:43,969 --> 00:04:41,490 this organism can use this wide range of 113 00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:43,979 mineral phases does it form mineral 114 00:04:48,499 --> 00:04:45,930 different mineral end products as a 115 00:04:51,529 --> 00:04:48,509 result of reduction and to really get at 116 00:04:53,659 --> 00:04:51,539 this question we do try to examine the 117 00:04:56,420 --> 00:04:53,669 mineral end products using a range of 118 00:04:58,460 --> 00:04:56,430 bulk and reflectance spectroscopy sa-2 119 00:05:00,740 --> 00:04:58,470 of which I will primarily be focusing on 120 00:05:02,210 --> 00:05:00,750 today to show you results this 121 00:05:04,100 --> 00:05:02,220 mid-infrared attenuated total 122 00:05:07,309 --> 00:05:04,110 reflectance and mossbauer spectroscopy 123 00:05:09,740 --> 00:05:07,319 x' in addition you will notice that many 124 00:05:12,589 --> 00:05:09,750 of these blots have a range of 125 00:05:14,330 --> 00:05:12,599 conditions and in spectra and the reason 126 00:05:15,980 --> 00:05:14,340 why this is is because we're looking at 127 00:05:18,649 --> 00:05:15,990 biogenic mineral transformations and 128 00:05:21,409 --> 00:05:18,659 comparing them to a suite of a biogenic 129 00:05:23,510 --> 00:05:21,419 or abiotic mineral transformations that 130 00:05:24,860 --> 00:05:23,520 may be plausible accounting for any 131 00:05:27,980 --> 00:05:24,870 transformations that may result from 132 00:05:31,339 --> 00:05:27,990 heat non growing cells or the growth 133 00:05:33,020 --> 00:05:31,349 medium itself what we find over all is 134 00:05:34,700 --> 00:05:33,030 that when Farrah hydrate transformations 135 00:05:38,140 --> 00:05:34,710 are considered that the organism 136 00:05:40,909 --> 00:05:38,150 primarily makes magnetite which is seen 137 00:05:44,779 --> 00:05:40,919 with the two prominent absorptions here 138 00:05:46,580 --> 00:05:44,789 for for the mineral phase and in the 139 00:05:48,290 --> 00:05:46,590 attenuated total reflectance and in the 140 00:05:50,059 --> 00:05:48,300 moss power as well we see the magnetite 141 00:05:51,980 --> 00:05:50,069 but in addition to the magnetite we also 142 00:05:53,629 --> 00:05:51,990 see minor amounts of ferrous phosphate 143 00:05:57,740 --> 00:05:53,639 and ferrous carbonate form relative to 144 00:05:59,240 --> 00:05:57,750 abiotic controls with lipid across side 145 00:06:00,980 --> 00:05:59,250 instead of magnetite we see the 146 00:06:04,369 --> 00:06:00,990 formation primarily of a ferrous 147 00:06:05,749 --> 00:06:04,379 carbonate phase such a siddha right in 148 00:06:08,269 --> 00:06:05,759 the attenuated total reflectance 149 00:06:10,580 --> 00:06:08,279 spectroscopy and in the Moskva we see 150 00:06:12,050 --> 00:06:10,590 that same phase but also in addition to 151 00:06:15,529 --> 00:06:12,060 that phase we see minor amounts of 152 00:06:18,769 --> 00:06:15,539 ferrous phosphate forming with AK again 153 00:06:21,409 --> 00:06:18,779 eh we see minor amounts of a ferrous 154 00:06:23,689 --> 00:06:21,419 phosphate phase as well as magnetite 155 00:06:28,850 --> 00:06:23,699 minor amount of magnetite form relative 156 00:06:30,170 --> 00:06:28,860 to the end to the abiotic controls now 157 00:06:32,930 --> 00:06:30,180 when we put together there is also 158 00:06:34,999 --> 00:06:32,940 showed you with regards to the rates of 159 00:06:37,490 --> 00:06:35,009 reduction and the spectral 160 00:06:39,439 --> 00:06:37,500 characteristics together we find that 161 00:06:42,469 --> 00:06:39,449 the minerals that form are really 162 00:06:45,260 --> 00:06:42,479 affected by the type of oxide that we we 163 00:06:47,029 --> 00:06:45,270 start and we think about growing these 164 00:06:47,750 --> 00:06:47,039 organisms with as well as the FE two 165 00:06:50,180 --> 00:06:47,760 flux 166 00:06:51,980 --> 00:06:50,190 now with Farah hydride we find which 167 00:06:54,740 --> 00:06:51,990 shows this fast rate of reduction in 168 00:06:57,130 --> 00:06:54,750 high Fe to accumulation magnetite 169 00:06:59,840 --> 00:06:57,140 nucleation and crystal growth is favored 170 00:07:01,310 --> 00:06:59,850 whereas and also in addition to that we 171 00:07:04,460 --> 00:07:01,320 see minor amounts of ferrous phosphate 172 00:07:06,530 --> 00:07:04,470 in carbonate forming with a lipid agro 173 00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:06,540 side which shows slow rates of reduction 174 00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:09,210 and low fe2 accumulation we see Sid 175 00:07:14,150 --> 00:07:12,210 right and ferrous phosphate forming with 176 00:07:16,910 --> 00:07:14,160 AK again yet which shows fast rates of 177 00:07:18,650 --> 00:07:16,920 reduction but significantly lower if we 178 00:07:21,050 --> 00:07:18,660 do accumulation relative to Farah 179 00:07:23,270 --> 00:07:21,060 hydride we see that minor amounts of 180 00:07:26,810 --> 00:07:23,280 magnetite and Affairs phosphate vivvy 181 00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:26,820 night can accumulate so context here can 182 00:07:29,510 --> 00:07:28,050 really make a difference in thinking 183 00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:29,520 about the different types of mineral 184 00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:32,370 phases that can form so from a 185 00:07:37,670 --> 00:07:34,290 physiological perspective we wanted to 186 00:07:39,860 --> 00:07:37,680 further probe and understand does this 187 00:07:42,380 --> 00:07:39,870 organism require cell mineral contact 188 00:07:44,270 --> 00:07:42,390 for reduction and to do this we really 189 00:07:48,410 --> 00:07:44,280 perform these barrier experiments that 190 00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:48,420 you that grew this organism with the 191 00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:49,890 mineral that was either in case in the 192 00:07:54,500 --> 00:07:52,050 dialysis barrier so as to prevent any 193 00:07:57,110 --> 00:07:54,510 cell mineral contact and these were 194 00:08:00,350 --> 00:07:57,120 compared to conditions where the mineral 195 00:08:05,050 --> 00:08:00,360 was available as free suspensions and in 196 00:08:08,300 --> 00:08:05,060 addition to this we also compared the 197 00:08:11,570 --> 00:08:08,310 compared these two conditions to another 198 00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:11,580 condition where we had an empty dialysis 199 00:08:14,330 --> 00:08:13,170 barrier added to free suspensions of 200 00:08:16,910 --> 00:08:14,340 Farah hydrate and this condition 201 00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:16,920 primarily served the purpose of ensuring 202 00:08:21,860 --> 00:08:19,050 that the the barrier itself did not pose 203 00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:21,870 any toxicity for growth now all of these 204 00:08:25,730 --> 00:08:23,850 conditions we examined as is but also in 205 00:08:29,060 --> 00:08:25,740 the presence of an artificial electron 206 00:08:32,150 --> 00:08:29,070 shuttle a QD s an artificial iron key 207 00:08:34,370 --> 00:08:32,160 later NTA and also cell free spent 208 00:08:36,230 --> 00:08:34,380 supernatant supposed to account for any 209 00:08:41,089 --> 00:08:36,240 endogenously produced shuttles of he 210 00:08:44,690 --> 00:08:41,099 laters so what we found from these 211 00:08:46,130 --> 00:08:44,700 results were that be delaney I was 212 00:08:49,940 --> 00:08:46,140 unable to grow without any mineral 213 00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:49,950 contact and that you'll notice we're 214 00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:51,810 looking at number of cells over time and 215 00:08:56,210 --> 00:08:53,970 that when the mineral was available as a 216 00:08:58,220 --> 00:08:56,220 free suspension regardless of whether a 217 00:09:01,040 --> 00:08:58,230 shuttle key later or cell free spent 218 00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:01,050 supernatant was added to the medium that 219 00:09:03,379 --> 00:09:01,290 the 220 00:09:05,110 --> 00:09:03,389 cells grew rapidly over time and showed 221 00:09:07,550 --> 00:09:05,120 no differences in the rates of growth 222 00:09:10,430 --> 00:09:07,560 whereas when the menorah was encased in 223 00:09:13,550 --> 00:09:10,440 a barrier that cells rapidly died or 224 00:09:16,220 --> 00:09:13,560 could barely sustain any growth now when 225 00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:16,230 we look at the FE 2 production over time 226 00:09:21,259 --> 00:09:19,410 for these experiments particularly for 227 00:09:22,639 --> 00:09:21,269 the experiments where free suspensions 228 00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:22,649 of Farrah hydride were made available 229 00:09:27,980 --> 00:09:24,930 with the addition of a shuttle Oki later 230 00:09:30,050 --> 00:09:27,990 or self-respond supernatant that only a 231 00:09:36,410 --> 00:09:30,060 few - production was stimulated upon 232 00:09:38,990 --> 00:09:36,420 addition of the shuttle a QD s so next 233 00:09:41,949 --> 00:09:39,000 we wanted to know given that this 234 00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:41,959 organism has these 17 C type cytochromes 235 00:09:48,350 --> 00:09:44,730 which c type cytochromes may be involved 236 00:09:52,249 --> 00:09:48,360 in iron reduction and so to do this we 237 00:09:54,710 --> 00:09:52,259 actually looked at we extracted the 238 00:09:57,170 --> 00:09:54,720 proteins from Farrah hydrate grown cells 239 00:10:01,460 --> 00:09:57,180 and compared them to the protein 240 00:10:04,550 --> 00:10:01,470 extracts of nitrate grown cells and we 241 00:10:06,980 --> 00:10:04,560 stained specific stains specifically for 242 00:10:09,730 --> 00:10:06,990 the cytochromes using a heme stain and 243 00:10:13,250 --> 00:10:09,740 here we found differential protein bands 244 00:10:16,370 --> 00:10:13,260 in in these two conditions which we 245 00:10:21,379 --> 00:10:16,380 excised digested and sent for mass spec 246 00:10:24,379 --> 00:10:21,389 and found that an ATM C Drive cytochrome 247 00:10:29,780 --> 00:10:24,389 was uniquely produced in the Farrah 248 00:10:32,180 --> 00:10:29,790 hydride grown cultures and 3 C type 249 00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:32,190 cytochromes 1/8 heme mono him and died 250 00:10:39,019 --> 00:10:35,010 him C type cytochrome were produced in 251 00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:39,029 either Farrah hydrate or nitrate grown 252 00:10:45,500 --> 00:10:44,250 cultures or both cultures rather so what 253 00:10:46,910 --> 00:10:45,510 are these C type cytochromes and I'm 254 00:10:51,439 --> 00:10:46,920 primarily going to focus on these two 255 00:10:52,670 --> 00:10:51,449 highlighted here in this next slide when 256 00:10:54,379 --> 00:10:52,680 we look think about these c TF 257 00:10:57,920 --> 00:10:54,389 cytochromes in the context of the genome 258 00:11:00,470 --> 00:10:57,930 of this organism we find that 11 of 259 00:11:03,710 --> 00:11:00,480 these 17 total c type cytochromes in 260 00:11:05,420 --> 00:11:03,720 this organism are these cytochromes are 261 00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:05,430 highlighted as yellow circles here and 262 00:11:12,530 --> 00:11:08,569 the number is the number of hims heme 263 00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:12,540 groups the the cytochromes have and the 264 00:11:15,110 --> 00:11:14,850 these eleven of these see that sairam's 265 00:11:17,870 --> 00:11:15,120 up 266 00:11:19,730 --> 00:11:17,880 are these for punitive operands depicted 267 00:11:24,110 --> 00:11:19,740 in these four colors here that encode 268 00:11:26,990 --> 00:11:24,120 these membrane reductase complexes for 269 00:11:28,970 --> 00:11:27,000 which we have really no homologues in 270 00:11:31,310 --> 00:11:28,980 other iron reducing general such as 271 00:11:34,340 --> 00:11:31,320 those of para baculum ferrell Globo 272 00:11:36,590 --> 00:11:34,350 Sergio Globus and more interestingly the 273 00:11:38,870 --> 00:11:36,600 two cytochromes that we found on the 274 00:11:42,220 --> 00:11:38,880 previous slide are actually the farah 275 00:11:44,570 --> 00:11:42,230 hydride condition see dep cytochrome is 276 00:11:47,060 --> 00:11:44,580 encoded by this gene right here 277 00:11:49,430 --> 00:11:47,070 the 7-8 form and just part of this 278 00:11:51,769 --> 00:11:49,440 period of operon that also in contains a 279 00:11:55,310 --> 00:11:51,779 gene that encodes a 13 heme c type 280 00:11:57,050 --> 00:11:55,320 cytochrome so and and here we see that 281 00:11:59,360 --> 00:11:57,060 this is the farah hydrate and nitrate 282 00:12:00,650 --> 00:11:59,370 culture where we see another a-team see 283 00:12:03,769 --> 00:12:00,660 that cytochrome that's part of this 284 00:12:08,090 --> 00:12:03,779 operon that has offs related to solve 285 00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:08,100 for reductases so i would be interesting 286 00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:10,770 to know what which genes are 287 00:12:15,110 --> 00:12:13,410 differentially expressed as well and 288 00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:15,120 also quantitatively determine the 289 00:12:19,550 --> 00:12:16,890 abundances of these proteins that are 290 00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:19,560 produced and that's part of future work 291 00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:20,250 for us 292 00:12:25,490 --> 00:12:23,610 so I want to quickly summarize what I've 293 00:12:28,310 --> 00:12:25,500 been able to share today with you and 294 00:12:30,140 --> 00:12:28,320 that that is that a wide range of nano 295 00:12:32,390 --> 00:12:30,150 phase iron oxides can be used for iron 296 00:12:36,199 --> 00:12:32,400 reduction at high temperatures and the 297 00:12:38,900 --> 00:12:36,209 key to recognizing what I want to 298 00:12:40,910 --> 00:12:38,910 emphasize here is that the part the the 299 00:12:42,560 --> 00:12:40,920 nano phase part of this is that you know 300 00:12:45,140 --> 00:12:42,570 we need to think about environmentally 301 00:12:46,699 --> 00:12:45,150 relevant phases in that the nano 302 00:12:50,030 --> 00:12:46,709 particular it phases are likely more 303 00:12:51,380 --> 00:12:50,040 environmentally relevant and that growth 304 00:12:53,060 --> 00:12:51,390 of reduction rates inversely correlated 305 00:12:54,620 --> 00:12:53,070 with oxide crystallinity in 306 00:12:57,140 --> 00:12:54,630 thermodynamic stability this is not 307 00:12:58,850 --> 00:12:57,150 surprising but that farah hydride a 308 00:13:02,079 --> 00:12:58,860 Cugini and lipid accrue site make 309 00:13:04,550 --> 00:13:02,089 interesting phases to further explore 310 00:13:07,329 --> 00:13:04,560 the end products of reduction depend 311 00:13:09,500 --> 00:13:07,339 upon oxide in Fe to flux and that 312 00:13:11,540 --> 00:13:09,510 magnetite fares phosphates and first 313 00:13:13,579 --> 00:13:11,550 carbonates can form the latter two of 314 00:13:15,650 --> 00:13:13,589 these to the best of our knowledge have 315 00:13:19,130 --> 00:13:15,660 not been reported for high-temperature 316 00:13:20,690 --> 00:13:19,140 iron reducers and so we'd be interested 317 00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:20,700 to see if this is a phenomenon that 318 00:13:27,380 --> 00:13:25,410 occurs overall additionally from a 319 00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:27,390 physiological standpoint cell mineral 320 00:13:30,500 --> 00:13:29,010 contact is required for reduction 321 00:13:33,500 --> 00:13:30,510 and that potentially novelty type 322 00:13:35,030 --> 00:13:33,510 cytochromes may be produced with Farah 323 00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:35,040 hydride relative to nitrate and these 324 00:13:38,830 --> 00:13:36,810 are looking into further using 325 00:13:41,330 --> 00:13:38,840 differential gene expression and 326 00:13:43,100 --> 00:13:41,340 quantitative proteomics experiments and 327 00:13:44,870 --> 00:13:43,110 with that I'd like to thank folks at 328 00:13:47,990 --> 00:13:44,880 UMass Amherst Mount Holyoke College as 329 00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:48,000 well as Brooker optics and also funding 330 00:13:58,700 --> 00:13:49,530 without which none of this work would be 331 00:14:04,820 --> 00:13:58,710 possible so thank you I think we have a 332 00:14:07,430 --> 00:14:04,830 question over here sorry I misunderstood 333 00:14:11,510 --> 00:14:07,440 something because you you studied the 334 00:14:15,590 --> 00:14:11,520 growth of the tombola microbe of the 335 00:14:19,450 --> 00:14:15,600 microorganisms on ferric minerals and 336 00:14:22,580 --> 00:14:19,460 then you showed most power spectra 337 00:14:25,730 --> 00:14:22,590 biotic and abiotic so what does that 338 00:14:28,790 --> 00:14:25,740 these two different spectra where do 339 00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:28,800 they correspond so the so the biotic 340 00:14:34,970 --> 00:14:32,490 spectra are taken from exponentially 341 00:14:38,660 --> 00:14:34,980 grown cells the minerals that were 342 00:14:41,420 --> 00:14:38,670 transformed after cells had been cells 343 00:14:44,870 --> 00:14:41,430 grew on those minerals and the abiotic 344 00:14:47,090 --> 00:14:44,880 abiotic condition is where the there 345 00:14:49,970 --> 00:14:47,100 were no cells added to the same exact 346 00:14:53,510 --> 00:14:49,980 set up okay so it is the same descent 347 00:14:55,790 --> 00:14:53,520 mineral just before the growth and after 348 00:14:58,610 --> 00:14:55,800 the growth no no it is it's actually 349 00:15:00,380 --> 00:14:58,620 heat reacted so it's so these are grown 350 00:15:04,850 --> 00:15:00,390 these are cultures grown at 90 degrees 351 00:15:06,830 --> 00:15:04,860 Celsius in anaerobic cultures and so the 352 00:15:10,010 --> 00:15:06,840 abiotic in the most power spectra 353 00:15:12,980 --> 00:15:10,020 reflect heat transformations that may be 354 00:15:15,790 --> 00:15:12,990 occurring for the same duration that we 355 00:15:22,550 --> 00:15:15,800 see any sort of biogenic transformation 356 00:15:23,870 --> 00:15:22,560 does that make sense yes she we have 357 00:15:28,070 --> 00:15:23,880 time for maybe one quick question if 358 00:15:29,700 --> 00:15:28,080 there's others all right thank you thank
