The implication of ambient temperature with the outbreak of vibriosis in cultured small abalone Haliotis diversicolor supertexta Lischke

(1) Outbreaks of mass mortality among cultured small abalone Haliotis diversicolor supertexta Lischke with vibriosis occurred in May and September of 1998 in Kao-Hsiung, Taiwan. (2) The effect of different temperature treatments on the susceptibility of small abalone to vibrio and its extracellular products (ECP) was investigated. (3) Two bacterial strains, Vibrio alginolyticus H11 and V. parahaemolyticus B4 originally isolated from the haemolymph of the moribund small abalone at 28 and 32°C, respectively, were used in this study for susceptibility tests. (4) The results reveal that at higher temperatures, the small abalone were more susceptible to vibrio and ECP challenge indicating that the outbreak of vibriosis is associated with warm water conditions.     

Alkaline adaptation induces cross-protection against some environmental stresses and morphological change in Vibrio parahaemolyticus

The relationship between alkaline adaptation and the resistance against environmental stresses was examined in Vibrio parahaemolyticus. Alkali-adapted cells were found to have increased resistance against various stresses, including heat, crystal violet, deoxycholic acid, and hydrogen peroxide. However, alkali-adapted cells showed no increased resistance against acid stress and heat-adapted cells did not show increased resistance against alkaline stress. Furthermore, alkaline treatment induced cell elongation with heterogenous size of the bacterium.     

Monitoring of phosphorus bioavailability in water by an immobilized luminescent cyanobacterial reporter strain

Massive growth of cyanobacteria, known as ‘algal blooms’, has become a major concern for water monitoring. It has been observed that environmental factors like temperature, light, and certain patterns of availability of nutrients such as P, N, Fe influence cyanobacterial proliferation and toxin production. In order to monitor nutrients in aquatic ecosystems, an assay for monitoring phosphorus bioavailability to cyanobacteria was developed. The test consists of an immobilized luminescent reporter strain of Synechococcus PCC 7942, designated APL. The reporter strain harbours the gene coding the reporter protein luciferase from Vibrio harveyi under control of the inducible alkaline phosphatase promoter from Synechococcus PCC 7942, and can be induced under phosphorus limitation. The resultant CyanoSensor detects PO₄³⁻−P in a concentration range of 0.3–8 μM after a sample incubation time of 8 h under continuous illumination (50 μE m⁻² s⁻¹). The sensor also responded to a variety of organic phosphorus sources and was storable for 3 weeks at 4 °C. It could be demonstrated that the CyanoSensor for bioavailability monitoring is an improvement to conventional phosphorus detection methods.     

Abundance of potentially pathogenic micro-organisms in Penaeus monodon larvae rearing systems in India

Monodon baculovirus (MBV), external fouling organisms (EFO) and bacteria (especially Vibrio species) were monitored during 1996–1997 at nine different Penaeus monodon rearing hatcheries in India. Total cultivable heterotrophic bacteria, Vibrio-like-bacteria, presumptive Vibrio harveyi, Vibrio anguillarum, Vibrio vulnificus counts were determined from shrimp eggs, post larvae, rearing tank water, source sea water, feed (Artemia nauplii and microencapsulated feed). The MBV infected post larvae and their environment showed higher Vibrio-like-bacteria than uninfected post larvae. An over-whelming predominance of presumptive Vibrio harveyi and Vibrio anguillarum was observed in post larval rearing tank water, MBV infected and uninfected post larvae. Vibrio-like-bacteria in Artemia nauplii clearly showed the possible source of these pathogenic bacteria in the hatchery environments. Quantitative analysis of Vibrio-like-bacteria in hatcheries revealed that when the Vibrio-like-bacteria increases to 2 × 10² CFU mortality of the post larvae occurs. Abundance of these micro-organisms in hatchery samples indicated that they are opportunistic pathogens which can invade the shrimp tissue, subsequently cause disease when the post larvae were under stressful conditions.

Antimicrobial activity against select food-borne pathogens by phenolic antioxidants enriched in cranberry pomace by solid-state bioprocessing using the food grade fungus Rhizopus oligosporus

Listeria monocytogenes, Vibrio parahaemolyticus and Escherichia coli 0157:H7 are important food-borne pathogens. Control of these pathogens using synthetic antimicrobials such as currently approved antibiotics is challenging due to potential development of resistance. A profile of antimicrobials compared to a single compound could be potentially more effective. Cranberry pomace is a byproduct of the cranberry processing industry. Solid-state bioprocessing of cranberry pomace using the food grade fungus Rhizopus oligosporus improves phenolic and antioxidant profiles. We hypothesize that these phytochemicals mobilized during pomace bioprocessing could improve the antimicrobial functionality. The objective of this research was to use the food grade fungus R. oligosporus to release phenolic aglycones and relate its antioxidant functionality and diphenyl mobilization to antimicrobial activity against L. monocytogenes, V. parahaemolyticus and E. coli 0157:H7. Bioprocessing of pomace was done for 20 days with R. oligosporus. Total phenolics in water extracts were assayed using a Folin-Ciocalteu method. The antioxidant potential was measured using a β-carotene oxidation system (APF) and 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl-radical (DPPH) system. Changes in phenolic profiles were analyzed using HPLC. Antimicrobial activities of the extracts during growth were tested using standard disk assays. Soluble phenolics, antioxidant activity and ellagic acid concentrations were enriched by bioprocessing and antimicrobial activity of the extracts against L. monocytogenes and V. parahaemolyticus correlated with highest soluble phenolics and APF in the same extracts. For E. coli 0157:H7 inhibition correlated with the extracts corresponding to highest DPPH and ellagic acid concentration. The bioprocessing-based antimicrobial activity depended on different phenolic functional properties of the extracts. Sensitivity towards soluble phenolics reflected in DPPH activity suggested inhibition by the disruption of the membrane by hyperacidification. Whereas, sensitivity to APF and ellagic acid suggests potential antimicrobial activity by membrane-transport disruption. The variation in sensitivity of pathogens has implications for designing new food grade antimicrobials. This bioprocessing strategy can be an innovative approach to produce broad spectrum antimicrobials against important food-borne pathogens.     

Genetic control of the UV-induced SOS mutator effect in single- and double-stranded DNA phages

The SOS hypothesis postulated that the mutator effect on undameged DNA that generates phage-untargeted mutagenesis (UTM) results directly from the mechanism of targeted mutagenesis. RecA protein, which stimulates the cleavage of both the LexA repressor and UmuD protein, and the UmuDC gene products are required for UV-induced targeted mutagenesis. The use of phage λ for analyzing UV-induced mutagenesis has permitted a distinction to be made between the mechanisms of targeted and untargeted mutagenesis, in that the two processes differ with respect to their genetic requirements for recA⁺ and umuDC⁺ genes. In this paper, we show thet (i) proficiency for excision repair is required for UTM in double-stranded DNA phage but not in single-stranded DNA phage; (ii) the umuC function, which is not required for UTM of the double-stranded DNA phage λ, is necessary for untargeted mutagenesis of the single-stranded DNA phages M13 and φX174; (iii) for both single-stranded and double-stranded DNA phage, UV irradiation of the host increases the level of recA730-induced UTM. Our results are also consistent with the interpretation that the expression of untargeted mutagenesis in phage λ and in M13 depends on the polymerase and to a lesser extent on the exonuclease 5′ → 3′, activities of Po1I. These results suggest that the involvement of the RecA and UmuDC proteins may be related to more than the presence of base damage in the DNA substrate.
