1 DIVERSITY OF METHANOGENIC ARCHAEA IN HUMAN MICROBIOTA GRINE GHILES 1st YEAR THESIS Thesis director Pr Michel DRANCOURT, Marseille Thesis co-director Pr Raymond RUIMY, Nice

2 Bacteria Eukaryotes - From greek archaios «ancient» formerly called «Archaebacteria» -Initially founded in extreme environments, 2.7 billion years ago - Initially classified in Bacteria domain Archaea Virus Balch et al. (1977), De lang et al. (2001), Boyer M et al. (2010)

3 DIVERSITY OF ARCHAEA Archaea known Archaea unknown (Brochier et al., 2004); (Eme et al., 2013)

4 Euryarchaeota DIVERSITY OF ARCHAEA Halophils Archaea known Methanogens Archaea unknown Nanoarchaeota Traumarchaeota Crenarchaeota Thermophils (Brochier et al., 2004); (Eme et al., 2013) Konarchaeota

5 Methanogens Strict anaerobes Producing methane gas (CH4) as a metabolic byproduct in presence of H 2 and substrates Groups depending on substrates use for methanogenesis Hydrogenotrophs Carbon dioxide : CO 2 + 4H 2 CH 4 + 2H 2 O Order concerned: Methanobacteriales, Methanomicrobiales, Methanopyrales, Methanococcales, Methanocellales Methylotrophs Methylamine: 4CH 3 NH 2 + 2H 2 O 3CH 4 + CO 2 + 4NH 3 Methanol: 4CH 3 OH 3CH 4 + CO 2 + 2H 2 O Order concerned: Methanomassiliicoccales Acetogenotrophs Acetate: CH 3 COOH CH 4 + CO 2 Order concerned: Methanosarcinales Tabatabaei, (2010); Thauer, (2006); Gribaldo S, (2006); Dridi, (2012); Hyunh, (2016)

9 Potential implications of methanogens archaea in human diseases M. oralis was correlated with the severity of periodontitis in patient A strong association between the presence of M. smithii and chronic constipation in human was shown Association between high numbers of M. smithii were observed in obese individuals than in normal-weight or post-gastric-bypass individuals Association between the absence of M. smithii and severity of diarrhea/ Malnutrition was also shown Bringuier. (2013) ; Zhang, (2009); Koenig. (2011); Million et al. (2016)
