Aguilera-Campos, Karla Iveth Boisard, Julie Törnblom, Viktor Jerlström-Hultqvist, Jon Behncké-Serra, Ada Cotillas, Elena Aramendia Stairs, Courtney Weir Anaerobiosis Microbiota Hydrogen Bacteria Eukaryota Metagenomics Symbiosis Anoxic and hypoxic environments serve as habitats for diverse microorganisms, including unicellular eukaryotes (protists) and prokaryotes. To thrive in low-oxygen environments, protists and prokaryotes often establish specialized metabolic cross-feeding associations, such as syntrophy, with other microorganisms. Previous studies show that the breviate protist Lenisia limosa engages in a mutualistic association with a denitrifying Arcobacter bacterium based on hydrogen exchange. Here, we investigate if the ability to form metabolic interactions is conserved in other breviates by studying five diverse breviate microcosms and their associated bacteria. We show that five laboratory microcosms of marine breviates live with multiple hydrogen-consuming prokaryotes that are predicted to have different preferences for terminal electron acceptors using genome-resolved metagenomics. Protist growth rates vary in response to electron acceptors depending on the make-up of the prokaryotic community. We find that the metabolic capabilities of the bacteria and not their taxonomic affiliations determine protist growth and survival and present new potential protist-interacting bacteria from the Arcobacteraceae, Desulfovibrionaceae, and Terasakiella lineages. This investigation uncovers potential nitrogen and sulfur cycling pathways within these bacterial populations, hinting at their roles in syntrophic interactions with the protists via hydrogen exchange. |
