Anaerobic Bacteria Grow within Candida albicans Biofilms and Induce Biofilm Formation in Suspension Cultures
Open accessAbstract
The human microbiome contains diverse microorganisms, which share and compete for the same environmental niches. A major microbial growth form in the human body is the biofilm state, where tightly packed bacterial, archaeal, and fungal cells must cooperate and/or compete for resources in order to survive. We examined mixed biofilms composed of the major fungal species of the gut microbiome, Candida albicans, and each of five prevalent bacterial gastrointestinal inhabitants: Bacteroides fragilis, Clostridium perfringens, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Enterococcus faecalis. We observed that biofilms formed by C. albicans provide a hypoxic microenvironment that supports the growth of two anaerobic bacteria, even when cultured in ambient oxic conditions that are normally toxic to the bacteria. We also found that coculture with bacteria in biofilms induces massive gene expression changes in C. albicans, including upregulation of WOR1, which encodes a transcription regulator that controls a phenotypic switch in C. albicans, from the "white" cell type to the "opaque" cell type. Finally, we observed that in suspension cultures, C. perfringens induces aggregation of C. albicans into "mini-biofilms," which allow C. perfringens cells to survive in a normally toxic environment. This work indicates that bacteria and C. albicans interactions modulate the local chemistry of their environment in multiple ways to create niches favorable to their growth and survival.

When cultured together with Candida albicans in ambient oxygen, Bacteroides fragilis and Clostridium perfringens could induce Candida albicans to form mini-biofilms, which could protect the bacteria and allow them to proliferate under otherwise toxic conditions.
“Moreover, when cultured together with C. albicans in ambient oxygen, these anaerobes could induce the latter to form mini-biofilms, which, in turn, could protect the bacteria and allow them to proliferate under otherwise toxic conditions.”

In a study of dual-species biofilms Candida albicans forms with gut microbiota members, biofilms formed by Candida albicans provided a hypoxic microenvironment that could support the growth of Bacteroides fragilis and Clostridium perfringens even though the biofilms were grown under oxygen-rich conditions.
“In this study, biofilms formed by C. albicans provided a hypoxic microenvironment that could support the growth of the two strictly anaerobic bacteria, B. fragilis and C. perfringens—even though the biofilms were grown under oxygen-rich conditions.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
