Résumé
UNLABELLED: An important environmental factor that determines the mode of motility adopted by Pseudomonas aeruginosa is the viscosity of the medium, often provided by adjusting agar concentrations in vitro. However, the viscous gel-like property of the mucus layer that overlays epithelial surfaces is largely due to the glycoprotein mucin. P. aeruginosa is known to swim within 0.3% (wt/vol) agar and swarm on the surface at 0.5% (wt/vol) agar with amino acids as a weak nitrogen source. When physiological concentrations or as little as 0.05% (wt/vol) mucin was added to the swimming agar, in addition to swimming, P. aeruginosa was observed to undergo highly accelerated motility on the surface of the agar. The surface motility colonies in the presence of mucin appeared to be circular, with a bright green center surrounded by a thicker white edge. While intact flagella were required for the surface motility in the presence of mucin, type IV pili and rhamnolipid production were not. Replacement of mucin with other wetting agents indicated that the lubricant properties of mucin might contribute to the surface motility. Based on studies with mutants, the quorum-sensing systems (las and rhl) and the orphan autoinducer receptor QscR played important roles in this form of surface motility. Transcriptional analysis of cells taken from the motility zone revealed the upregulation of genes involved in virulence and resistance. Based on these results, we suggest that mucin may be promoting a new or highly modified form of surface motility, which we propose should be termed "surfing." IMPORTANCE: An important factor that dictates the mode of motility adopted by P. aeruginosa is the viscosity of the medium, often provided by adjusting agar concentrations in vitro. However, the gel-like properties of the mucous layers that overlay epithelial surfaces, such as those of the lung, a major site of Pseudomonas infection, are contributed mostly by the production of the glycoprotein mucin. In this study, we added mucin to swimming media and found that it promoted the ability of P. aeruginosa to exhibit rapid surface motility. These motility colonies appeared in a circular form, with a bright green center surrounded by a thicker white edge. Interestingly, bacterial cells at the thick edge appeared piled up and lacked flagella, while cells at the motility center had flagella. Our data from various genetic and phenotypic studies suggest that mucin may be promoting a modified form of swarming or a novel form of surface motility in P. aeruginosa.
