Study of some aspects of the mechanism of bacterial synthesis of silver sulfide nanoparticles by metal-reducing bacteria Shewanella oneidensis MR-1

In the present work it was shown that biosynthesis of silver sulfide nanoparticles from silver nitrate and sodium thiosulfate solutions of millimolar concentration occurs efficiently by living Shewanella oneidensis MR-1 cells, as well as by ultrasonically-disrupted cells and by the membrane fraction of the cells. The size of nanoparticles synthesized in the presence of living cells was 7.8 ± 1.5 nm, while in the presence of ultrasonically-disrupted cells — it was 6.5 ± 2 nm. The shape of nanoparticles in both cases was close to spherical. It was also shown, that synthesis of nanoparticles occurs in a cell-free solution of sodium thiosulfate that has been incubated with cells previously and to which then a silver nitrate solution was added. In this case the nanoparticles were of elongated shape and their size was (11 ± 4) × (24 ± 6) nm. In the control experiment, when only silver nitrate and sodium thiosulfate solutions not incubated with cells were used, the nanoparticles were not detected. It was shown that biosynthesis of nanoparticles occurs both in aerobic and anaerobic conditions. Nanoparticles are not formed by using thermally inactivated cells as it was shown by us previously. The results show the important role of the native structures of cells for the nanoparticles formation.     

纳米银/植物源复合抗菌剂的制备及其抑菌性能的研究

Staining Plant Cells with Silver. I. The Salt-Nylon Technique

A technique is described for selectively silver staining nucleoli, active nucleolus organizers, nucleolar material attached to chromosomes, kinetochores, synaptonemal complexes, and chromosome cores in plant cells. The technique, called salt-nylon silver staining, involves spreading cells on glass slides, treating the cells with a solution of saline sodium citrate, and incubating the cells in a silver nitrate solution covered with nylon screen. Selected variables important for achieving reliable silver staining are considered.     

Anaerobic Degradation of the Benzene Nucleus by a Facultatively Anaerobic Microorganism

A bacterium was isolated by elective culture with p-hydroxybenzoate as substrate and nitrate as electron acceptor. It grew either aerobically or anaerobically, by nitrate respiration, on a range of aromatic compounds. The organism was identified as a pseudomonad and was given the trivial name Pseudomonas PN-1. Benzoate and p-hydroxybenzoate were metabolized aerobically via protocatechuate, followed by meta cleavage catalyzed by protocatechuic acid-4,5-oxygenase, to yield alpha-hydroxy-gamma-carboxymuconic semialdehyde. Pseudomonas PN-1 grew rapidly on p-hydroxybenzoate under strictly anaerobic conditions, provided nitrate was present, even though protocatechuic acid-4,5-oxygenase was repressed. Suspensions of cells grown anaerobically on p-hydroxybenzoate oxidized benzoate with nitrate and produced 4 to 5 mumoles of CO(2) per mumole of benzoate added; these cells did not oxidize benzoate aerobically. The patterns of the oxidation of aromatic substrates with oxygen or nitrate by cells grown aerobically or anaerobically on different aromatic compounds indicated that benzoate rather than protocatechuate was a key intermediate in the early stages of anaerobic metabolism. It was concluded that the pathway for the anaerobic breakdown of the aromatic ring is different and quite distinct from the aerobic pathway. Mechanisms for the anaerobic degradation of the benzene nucleus by Pseudomonas PN-1 are discussed.     

Controlled silver nanoparticles synthesis in semi-hydrogel networks of poly(acrylamide) and carbohydrates: A rational methodology for antibacterial application

In the present study, we report the preparation of semi interpenetrating hydrogel networks (SIHNs) based on cross-linked poly (acrylamide) prepared through an optimized rapid redox-solution polymerization with N,N′-methylenebisacrylamide (MBA) in presence of three different carbohydrate polymers, namely gum acacia (GA), carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) and starch (SR). Highly stable and uniformly distributed silver nanoparticles have been obtained with hydrogel networks as nanoreactors via in situ reduction of silver nitrate (AgNO₃) using sodium borohydride (NaBH₄) as reducing agent. The formation of silver nanoparticles has been confirmed with ultraviolet visible (UV–vis) spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) provides the amounts of silver nanoparticles exist in the hydrogel networks. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) results demonstrate that acacia employed hydrogels have regulated the silver nanoparticles size to 2–5 nm where as CMC and starch composed hydrogel networks result in a heterogeneous size from 2 to 20 nm. The preliminary antibacterial activity performed to these hydrogel–silver nanocomposites.     

Purification of glutaryl-CoA dehydrogenase from Pseudomonas sp., an enzyme involved in the anaerobic degradation of benzoate

Cell-free extracts of Pseudomonas sp. strains KB 740 and K 172 both contained high levels of glutaryl-CoA dehydrogenase when grown anaerobically on benzoate or other aromatic compounds and with nitrate as electron acceptor. These aromatic compounds have in common benzoyl-CoA as the central aromatic intermediate of anerobic metabolism. The enzymatic activity was almost absent in cells grown aerobically on benzoate regardless whether nitrate was present. Glutaryl-CoA dehydrogenase activity was also detected in cell-free extracts of Rhodopseudomonas, Rhodomicrobium and Rhodocyclus after phototrophic growth on benzoate. Parallel to the induction of glutaryl-CoA dehydrogenase as measured with ferricenium ion as electron acceptor, an about equally high glutaconyl-CoA decarboxylase activity was detected in cell-free extracts. The latter activity was measured with the NAD-dependent assay, as described for the biotin-containing sodium ion pump glutaconyl-CoA decarboxylase from glutamate fermenting bacteria. Glutaryl-CoA dehydrogenase was purified to homogeneity from both Pseudomonas strains. The enzymes catalyse the decarboxylation of glutaconyl-CoA at about the same rate as the oxidative decarboxylation of glutaryl-CoA. The green enzymes are homotetramers (m=170 kDa) and contain 1 mol FAD per subunit. No inhibition was observed with avidin indicating the absence of biotin. The N-terminal sequences of the enzymes from both strains are similar (65%).     

Sex expression in cucumber plants as affected by mechanical stress

Sex expression in cucumber plants, as affected by mechanicalstress, was examined using 4 cultivars with different geneticbackgrounds for sex expression. Mechanical stress given to theplant greatly reduced growth and increased the number of pistillate(female) flowers in the monoecious type, but it had no effecton the sex expression of the gynoecious type. The effect ofmechanical stress on the growth and sex expression of the monoecioustype was nullified by the foliar application of gibberellinA₄₊₇. Silver nitrate also was effective in nullifying the effectof mechanical stress on sex expression, but not the effect ofgrowth retardation. Pistillate flowers in a gynoecious strainwere reduced by silver nitrate. (Received October 18, 1979; )     

An Improved Silver Stain for Developing Nervous Tissue

A reduced silver technique using physical development to stain embryonic nervous tissue is described. Brains are fixed in Bodian's fixative. Paraffin sections are pretreated with 1% chromic acid or 5% formol. They are impregnated with 0.01% silver nitrate dissolved in 0.1 M boric acid/sodium tetraborate buffer of pH 8 or with silver proteinate. Finally they are developed in a special physical developer which contains 0.1% silver nitrate, 0.01-0.l% formol as developed agent, 25% sodium carbonate to buffer the solution at pH 10.3, 0.1% ammonium nitrate to prevent precipitation of silver hydroxide, and 5% tungstosilicic acid as a protective colloid. The development takes several minutes in this solution, thus the intensity of staining can be controlled easily. The method yields uniform, complete and reproducible staining of axons at all developmental stages of the nervous tissue and is easy to handle.

Antimicrobial action of silver nitrate

Silver nitrate 3 mug/ml prevented the separation into two daughter cells of sensitive dividing cells of Pseudomonas aeruginosa growing in nutrient broth plus the chemical. Cell size of sensitive cells was increased and the cytoplasmic contents, cytoplasmic membrane and external cell envelope structures were all abnormal. P. aeruginosa cells grown in the presence of silver nitrate 9 mug/ml showed all these changes to a marked degree except inhibition of cell division was not observed. Silver nitrate (1.5 mug/ml) in distilled water inactivated bacteriophage T2 particles as determined by their infectivity to Escherichia coli B cultures. Lysozyme (50 mug/ml) reduced, and sodium chloride (0.9%) blocked this activity.
