摘要

The colonization of orthopyroxene crystals by a pleomorphic bacterium and the mineralogical products resulting from a prolonged interaction have been studied. We used Ramlibacter tataouinensis (strain TTB310), which is an aerobic β-Proteobacterium moving over surfaces by gliding motility and whose life cycle includes rods and spherical cysts. Analysis of cultures grown on solid media with micrometer-sized pyroxene and quartz crystals scattered over the surface revealed a taxis of the bacteria toward the crystals. Given the mineralogical non-specificity of the interaction, a mechanism of elasticotaxis is inferred. After the rods had adhered to the pyroxene surface, they differentiated into cysts leading to the formation of microcolonies that were centered on a crystal grain. This suggests an original coupling between the life cycle of R. tataouinensis and the interaction with the crystals. The alteration of orthopyroxene was studied by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy at the interface between cysts and pyroxene crystals. The pyroxene surface showed an amorphous layer that was more developed than that of abiotic control samples processed under the same conditions. Moreover, chemical analyses showed that the dissolution of pyroxene was reduced in the presence of R. tataouinensis. The origin and the significance of the amorphous layers is discussed.
