Many sessile marine invertebrates have life cycles involving the development of larvae that settle on specific substrates to initiate metamorphosis to juvenile forms. Although is recognized that bacterial biofilms play a role in this process, the responsible chemical cues are beginning to be investigated. Here, we tested the role of substrate-specific bacteria biofilms and their Quorum Sensing Signaling Molecule (QSSM) extracts on chemotaxis and settlement of larvae from Hydractinia symbiolongicarpus, a hydroid that grows on gastropod shells occupied by hermit crabs. We isolated and taxonomically identified by 16S rDNA sequencing, 14 bacterial strains from shells having H. symbiolongicarpus. Three isolates, Shigella flexneri, Microbacterium liquefaciens, and Kocuria erythromyxa, were identified to produce QSSMs using biosensors detecting N-acyl-L-homoserine lactones. Multispecies biofilms and QSSM extracts from these bacteria showed a positive chemotactic effect on H. symbiolongicarpus larvae, a phenomenon not observed with mutant strains of E. coli and Chromobacterium violaceum that are unable to produce QSSMs. These biofilms and QSSMs extracts induced high rates of larval attachment, although only 1 % of the attached larvae metamorphosed to primary polyps, in contrast to 99 % of larvae incubated with CsCl, an artificial inductor of attachment and metamorphosis. These observations suggest that bacterial QSSMs participate in H. symbiolongicarpus substrate selection by inducing larval chemotaxis and attachment. Furthermore, they support the notion that settlement in cnidarians is decoupled into two processes, attachment to the substrate and metamorphosis to a primary polyp, where QSSMs likely participate in the former but not in the latter.
Muchos invertebrados marinos sésiles tienen ciclos de vida que involucran el desarrollo de larvas que se asientan en sustratos específicos iniciando su metamorfosis a formas juveniles. Aunque es conocido que biopelículas bacterianas participan en este proceso, las señales químicas responsables hasta ahora se empiezan a investigar. Aquí evaluamos el papel de biofilms bacterianos y sus extractos de moléculas de señalización de “Quorum Sensing” (QSSM) sobre la quimiotaxis y el asentamiento larvario en Hydractinia symbiolongicarpus, un hidrozoario que crece sobre conchas de gastrópodos ocupadas por cangrejos ermitaños. Nosotros aislamos e identificamos taxonómicamente por secuenciación de rDNA 16S 14 cepas bacterianas de conchas con H. symbiolongicarpus. Tres de ellas, Shigella flexneri, Microbacterium liquefaciens, and Kocuria erythromyxa, mostraron producción de QSSMs usando biosensores que detectan N-acil-L-homoserin lactonas. Biopelículas y extractos de QSSMs de estas bacterias mostraron efectos quimiotácticos sobre larvas de H. symbiolongicarpus, efecto no observado en ensayos con cepas mutantes de E. coli y Chromobacterium violaceum que son incapaces de producir QSSMs. Las biopelículas y sus extractos indujeron adhesión larvaria sobre superficies, aunque solamente el 1 % de las larvas asentadas hicieron metamorfosis hacia pólipoprimario, en contraste con 99 % de larvas incubadas con CsCl, un inductor artificial de asentamiento y metamorfosis. Estas observaciones sugieren que QSSMs de biopelículas bacterianas participan en la selección de sustrato de H. symbiolongicarpus, induciendo quimiotaxis y asentamiento de sus larvas. También sugieren que el asentamiento en cnidarios tiene dos procesos, adhesión y metamorfosis, donde las QSSMs participarían en el primero, pero no en el segundo.
