An extracellular protease, which previously has been found to correlate with the appearance of bleblike evaginations on the cell wall of Pseudomonas fragi ATCC 4973, was purified 38-fold by ammonium sulfate precipitation and Sephadex chromatography to yield a single band by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Polyclonal rabbit antiserum raised against the purified enzyme had an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay titer of 4 X 10(7). The peroxidase antiperoxidase method was used to localize the neutral protease in P. fragi at the ultrastructural level. Electron microscopy of cell sections of this organism revealed that high concentrations of positive immunoperoxidase reaction product were located near the cell wall, whereas control sections stained with preimmune or heterologous serum did not show similar deposits to be present. These results are consistent with the hypothesis that blebs appearing on P. fragi contain high concentrations of neutral protease.  相似文献

A single proteolytic enzyme (EC 3.4.4.-) was isolated from culture supernatants of Pseudomonas fragi with 20% yielded and 60-fold purification by means of stepwise DEAE-Sephadex batch adsorption, ammonium sulfate precipitation, gel filtration and DEAE-cellulose chromatography. The enzyme was Zn-2+ activated and Ca-2+ stabilized, had optimum activity at pH 6.5--8.0 and 40 degrees C. The molecular weight range was 40 000--50 000 as determined by dodecylsulfate gel electrophoresis, gel filtration and Zn assay. This proteinase has properties similar to other extracellular bacterial neutral proteinases.  相似文献

Extracellular carbonic anhydrase was purified from Pseudomonas fragi isolated from CaCO3 enriched soil samples. The enzyme is induced in presence of CaCO3 and is envisaged to play an important role in bicarbonate ion transport. The 75% ammonium sulphate dialysate was purified by single step affinity chromatography with 86% yield. It is a trimeric protein having a subunit molecular weight of 31.0 kDa and was stable at pH 7.0–8.5 and temperature 35–45 °C. Lead, mercury and EDTA had an inhibitory effect on CA activity, whereas zinc, iron and cadmium increased it. The presence of esterase activity along with IC50 of sulphonamides and anionic inhibitors indicated that CA from P. fragi belonged to α-class. The CA stability in presence of different salts, as well as in alkaline pH and high temperature makes it a potential candidate to be exploited for biomimetic CO2 sequestration.  相似文献

A double-antibody-sandwich, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was developed to detect an extracellular proteinase produced by Pseudomonas fragi. The method was capable of detecting 4 g/ml of the proteinase in spiked samples of buffer and broth and 4.2 g/ml in a broth culture of the organism. The assay detected the presence of proteinase at bacterial densities of approximately 104 cfu/ml, which develop after incubation for 15 h at 25°C in a broth medium. All assays could be completed within 7 h. This assay is of value in plotting proteolytic expression in relation to the growth cycle of Ps. fragi in broth culture and may be of value, with development, in other more complex milieux.  相似文献

The production of extracellular proteinase by Pseudomonas fragi ATCC 4973 grown in a defined citrate medium, containing glutamine as the sole nitrogen source, was determined under varying cultural conditions. Simultaneous evaluation of cultural conditions using a 'centroid search' optimization technique showed that the optimum cultural conditions for proteinase production by Ps. fragi were: incubation temperature, 12.5 degrees C; incubation time, 38 h; initial pH, 6.8; organic nitrogen concentration, 314 mmol nitrogen/l (glutamine); a gas mixture containing 16.4% oxygen flowing over the medium (7.42 ppm dissolved oxygen). Oxygen was the major factor influencing proteinase production by Ps. fragi. The results may have applications in the storage of fluid milk. Centroid search optimization was shown to be suitable for microbiological experiments.  相似文献

Production of an extracellular ribonuclease by Pseudomonas maltophilia.   总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2  
As part of a screening program for pseudomonad enzymes having an industrial interest, we selected ribonuclease (RNase) producing strains. Of the 150 pseudomonads screened, 6 were found to produce an extracellular RNase activity when grown on solid medium. In broth culture, the RNase activity from these six species remained bound to the cells unless gelatin was added to the medium. Gelatin was essential for the release of RNase in the broth culture, but the pH of the medium, addition of potential inducers such as nucleic acids, or addition of cations did not affect this release. However, gelatin did not appear to induce the synthesis of the enzyme. Strain B-88, identified as Pseudomonas maltophilia, was selected for further study of the enzyme. The extracellular RNase isolated from B-88 broth cultures could be separated in two fractions on the basis of the molecular weight by the ultrafiltration technique. The low molecular weight fraction reacts optimally at temperatures between 55 and 60 degrees C and optimal pH values varying from 7.4 to 9.5. At neutral or alkaline pH, the enzyme was stable at temperatures below 37 degrees C but was inactivated at 55 degrees C. The RNase was inhibited by mercury and cobalt and stimulated by magnesium.  相似文献

Assay of the esterase activity of sonically treated cell-free extracts, whole cell suspensions, and supernatant fluid of Pseudomonas fragi cultures with a differential respirometer revealed that the esterases were intracellular. Polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis demonstrated six bands of esterase activity, which revealed substrate specificity differences. Band 1 exhibited slow mobility, bands 2, 3, and 4 moderate mobility, and bands 5 and 6 rapid mobility. Six bands were active with alpha-naphthyl acetate, four bands with alpha-naphthyl propionate, and 5 bands with alphanaphthyl butyrate. These esterases appeared to be more active with aromatic esters than with aliphatic esters.  相似文献

The experimental conditions required to isolate a lipase from Pseudomonas fragi were determined. The organism was grown in a buffered tryptone medium for 4 to 5 days at 20 C. The lipase in the culture supernatant fluid was isolated by fractionation with ammonium sulfate at 60% saturation, followed by acetone precipitation at 30-60% concentration. Further purification was made by using Sephadex G-200 gel-filtration and diethylaminoethyl cellulose chromatography. Electrophoretic analysis of the purified lipolytic fraction showed apparent homogeneity by both cellulose polyacetate and disc electrophoresis. The specific activity of the purified enzyme was about 100 times that of the starting culture filtrate, and the yield was about 1.8% of the original activity.  相似文献

Lipase from Pseudomonas fragi. II. Properties of the Enzyme   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1       下载免费PDF全文
The optimal pH value of a lipase from Pseudomonas fragi was between 7.5 and 8.9, and a high reaction rate was observed at 54 C. Heating the enzyme solution at 63 C for 30 min inactivated only 27.6% of its activity; however, total inactivation was observed at 66 C after 1 hr and at 71 C after 10 min. The lipase was inhibited strongly by Fe+++ and Fe++ ions, and to a lesser extent by Co++, Cu++, Zn++. No inhibition was observed with Ca++ or NaF. Ethylenediaminetetraacetate was effective in removing the toxicity of Fe+++. The activity of the enzyme was inhibited markedly by p-chloromercurobenzoate, but the effects of N-ethylmaleimide and iodoacetate were moderate. The enzyme was able to hydrolyze natural fats, synthetic triglycerides, and alcohol esters. The order of the rate of hydrolysis of some triglycerides under experimental conditions was, from the fastest to the lowest, trilaurin, tricaprin, tricaprylin, tripalmitin, tributyrin, tricaproin, and tristearin. The enzyme was capable of hydrolyzing methyl butyrate, but the rate of hydrolysis was about one-fifth that for triolein and one-thirteenth that for coconut oil. The enzyme lost its activity rapidly when held frozen, at 20 C, and at the extremes in pH. Glutathione, cysteine, and mercaptoethanol did not preserve the activity of the enzyme.  相似文献

The lipase from Pseudomonas fragi 22.39 B catalyzed the transesterification in ester and alcohol mixtures without any other solvent. Activated esters, such as vinyl and phenyl esters, were excellent acyl donors for the reaction, and the activity was enhanced by increasing the carbon number of the fatty acid fraction of the esters. Primary alcohols were esterified faster than secondary ones in this reaction system, while tertiary alcohols such as alpha-terpineol did not react at all. The lipase exhibited stereoselectivity in the esterification of alcohols such as 2-octanol.  相似文献

In this study we determined the ultrastructural distribution of the various components of the extracellular matrix (laminin, fibronectin, Type I, III, and IV collagens) of the normal peripheral nerve in adult rat. The localization of these macromolecules was investigated in basement membranes as well as in different areas of epi-, peri-, and endoneurium, by use of a pre-embedding immunoperoxidase method.  相似文献

The major extracellular protease from Pseudomonas fluorescens strain AR-11 has been partially purified by a factor of 300 by a combination of DEAE-cellulose ion-exchange chromatography and gel filtration. The enzyme had a molecular weight of 38 400 and exhibited optimum activity with isoelectrically precipitated casein substrate at pH 6.5 with Km - 0.13 mM. The protease was strongly inhibited by a number of heavy metal ions at the 10 mM level and also inhibited by thiol agents, while 10 mM EDTA led to slight activation. Optimum activity was retained, amounting to 33% of the maximum activity at 4 degrees C and 72% at 20 degrees C. Heat inactivation studies in which the isolated protease was heated at high temperature before subsequent incubation at 35 degrees C with substrate showed that for 50% inactivation 25 s heating at 130 degrees C or 17 s at 140 degrees C of 8.5 s at 150 degrees C was requried. The combination of high stability to heat treatments and retention of considerable activity at low incubation temperatures indicates that such a protease might have considerable significance in the processing and subsequent storage of food and other products.  相似文献

Summary Xylonic acid was produced by Pseudomonas fragi ATCC 4973 on 15% xylose medium with a yield of 96% of the theoretical. In the middle of the fermentation, growth was inhibited due to formation of inhibitory xylono--lactone. The spontaneous, non-enzymatic hydrolysis of lactone accounted for only 19% of the hydrolysis demand, thus explaining the accumulation of xylonolactone in the broth. It appeared that high amounts of xylono--lactone induced xylonolactonase enzyme, which brought about the total hydrolysis of xylonolactone.  相似文献

Cultures of Pseudomonas fragi were grown at 21 C in sterile homogenized milk and reconstituted skim milk media supplemented with ethyl alcohol. Quantitative determinations of ethyl butyrate and ethyl hexanoate by gas-liquid chromatography showed definite increases in the concentrations of the two esters produced in these media in comparison to media not supplemented with ethyl alcohol. Supplementation with butyric acid in addition to ethyl alcohol generally elevated the ethyl butyrate concentration and usually depressed the cell count slightly. Aeration of any of the media during growth tended to reduce the cell population slightly. A relationship between increase in cell number and increase in concentration of esters during the growth of the culture was observed. Media containing high concentrations of ethyl alcohol plus milk fat or low-molecular-weight fatty acids were conducive to the production of a fruity aroma by P. fragi.  相似文献
