ABSTRACTThe limits to biological processes on Earth are determined by physicochemical parameters, such as extremes of temperature and low water availability. Research into microbial extremophiles has enhanced our understanding of the biophysical boundaries which define the biosphere. However, there remains a paucity of information on the degree to which rates of microbial multiplication within extreme environments are determined by the availability of specific chemical elements. Here, we show that iron availability and the composition of the gaseous phase (aerobic versus microaerobic) determine the susceptibility of a marine bacterium,Halomonas hydrothermalis, to suboptimal and elevated temperature and salinity by impacting rates of cell division (but not viability). In particular, iron starvation combined with microaerobic conditions (5% [vol/vol] O2, 10% [vol/vol] CO2, reduced pH) reduced sensitivity to temperature across the 13°C range tested. These data demonstrate that nutrient limitation interacts with physicochemical parameters to determine biological permissiveness for extreme environments. The interplay between resource availability and stress tolerance, therefore, may shape the distribution and ecology of microorganisms within Earth's biosphere.

ABSTRACT Iron is an important element for the growth of microorganisms as well as in the defense of the host by serving as a catalyst for the generation of free radicals via the Fenton/Haber-Weiss reactions. The iron transporter natural resistance-associated macrophage protein 1 (Nramp1) confers resistance to the growth of a variety of intracellular pathogens including Mycobacterium avium. Recently several other proteins that are involved in iron transport, including the highly homologous iron transporter Nramp2 and the transferrin receptor-associated protein HFE (hereditary hemochromatosis protein), have been described. The relationship of these proteins to host defense and to the growth of intracellular pathogens is not known. Here, we report that infection with M. avium differentially regulates mRNA expression of the proteins associated with iron transport in murine peritoneal macrophages. Both Nramp1 and Nramp2 mRNA levels increase following infection, while the expression of transferrin receptor mRNA decreases. The level of expression of HFE mRNA remains unchanged. The difference in the expression of the mRNA of these proteins following infection or cytokine stimulation suggests that they may play an important role in host defense by maintaining a delicate balance between iron availability for host defense and at the same time limiting iron availability for microbial growth.
