Bacteroides is a prominent genus of the human gut microbiota, which produces large amounts of OMVs (outer membrane vesicles) carrying specific protein cargo. Here, we show that sorting of proteins into OMVs depends on a negatively charged “lipoprotein export signal” (LES). We employed OM (outer membrane) and OMV markers fused to fluorescent proteins to show OMV biogenesis via time-lapse fluorescence microscopy. Additionally, we performed comparative proteomic analyses showing that Bt (Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron) actively alters the OMV content to optimize the utilization of polysaccharides. We conclude that OMV production is highly regulated in Bt. Despite the recognized roles of OMVs in Bacteroides, little is known about their biogenesis. Future studies will focus on further elucidating this undercharacterized process. Extracellular vesicles are produced in all three domains of life, and their biogenesis has common ancient origins in eukaryotes and archaea. Although bacterial vesicles were discovered several decades ago and multiple roles have been attributed to them, no mechanism has been established for vesicles biogenesis in bacteria. For this reason, there is a significant level of skepticism about the biological relevance of bacterial vesicles. Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron (Bt), a prominent member of the human intestinal microbiota, produces significant amounts of outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) which have been proposed to play key physiological roles. Here, we employed a dual marker system, consisting of outer membrane- and OMV-specific markers fused to fluorescent proteins to visualize OMV biogenesis by time-lapse microscopy. Furthermore, we performed comparative proteomic analyses to show that, in Bt, the OMV cargo is adapted for the optimal utilization of different polysaccharides. We also show that a negatively charged N-terminal motif acts as a signal for protein sorting into OMVs irrespective of the nutrient availability. Our results demonstrate that OMV production is the result of a highly regulated process in Bt.
