Outline of Research at the Start

本研究は、枯草菌をモデルとしたbiofilm形成メカニズムの解明を目指し、集団内の菌体ごとの役割分担 (細胞分化)を時系列的に解析する。これを達成するために、bacteriophage由来のserine recombinaseによる部位特異的DNA組換え反応を利用し、個々の菌体における細胞分化の変遷を情報としてゲノムDNA上に記録する技術 ”in vivoゲノム記録法(RIGR法; Recombinase-mediated In vivo Genomic Recording system)”を確立する。

Outline of Final Research Achievements

Many bacteria form communities called biofilms to survive harsh natural environments. It is known that individual bacterial cells play different roles in biofilms. Our research aimed to develop a novel methodology for analysis of bacterial behaviors in a biofilm, designated as "RIGR (Recombinse-mediated In vivo Genomic Recording) system", using Bacillus subtilis as the model organism. In this study, we established B. subitlis strains that can store a memory of cellular differentiation into sporulating or natural (DNA) competent cells in their genomic DNA. The RIGR system can be expected to contribute to a better understanding of bacterial biofilms in the future.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究の目的は、バイオフィルム中の個々の細菌の分化状態データを各細菌ゲノムDNAを記録媒体として保存する”in vivo ゲノム記録法(RIGR法)"の技術的基盤を確立することである。本手法を用いることで、自然環境中の細菌の暮らしぶりをよりリアルに知ることができ、ヒトと微生物のより良い共生関係の構築に寄与すると考えられる。
