绿色荧光蛋白标记的嗜水气单胞菌在越冬水体的饥饿存活及复苏

将绿色荧光蛋白标记的嗜水气单胞菌（Ah4332^GFP）置模拟越冬水体（8-10℃）内,进行饥饿存活试验,用三种计数方法检查水体中的细菌数量变化,在41d后平板计数法（PC）降至0。而细菌总数法（DC）和活菌直接计数法（DVC）结果相似,只是DVC计数结果低于细菌总数1-2个数量级,显示细菌已经变成活的非可培养（Viable but nonculturable,VBNC)状态,复苏试验表明,升高温度、添加鱼血清或新鲜培养的Ah4332^GFP细菌上清及通过兔肠管结扎,均使VBNC状态的Ah4332^GFP得到复苏,荧光显微镜和电镜观察处于可培养的VBNC状态的Ah4332^GFP,后者的细菌细胞比前者体积明显缩小,形态由杆状变成了球形,但细胞膜和细胞壁是完整的,不是细菌L型。

通过细菌接合将质粒ｐＬＶ１０１６（含ｘｖｌＥ基因）转移至ＲｈｉｚｏｂｉｕｍｆｒｅｄｉｉＱＢ１１３０和Ｒｈｉｚｏｂｉｕｍｌｅｇｕｍｉｎｏｓａｒｕｍｂｖ．ｖｉｃｉａｅＢ４０,ｘｙｌＥ基因在根瘤菌内表达活性较高．质粒ｐＬＶ１０１６携带的ＸｙｌＥ基因用于监测根瘤菌在灭菌和未灭菌土壤中的存活,结果表明,在灭菌土壤中含质粒与不含质粒菌株存活菌数量之间无显著差异（Ｐ＜０．０５）,大接种量有利于细菌的生长与繁殖,Ｂ４０（ｐＬＶ１０１６）质粒丢失比例很低．以低于１０６ＣＦＵ·ｇ－１干土浓度接种时,ＱＢ１１３０（ｐＬＶ１０１６）质粒丢失率随接种浓度的降低而增大．未灭菌土壤中生物因素抑制了释放菌株的生长,大接种量有利于细菌存活．以低浓度（１０６ＣＦＵ·ｇ－１干土）接种时,ＱＢ１１３０（ｐＬＶ１０１６）质粒丢失比例高于Ｂ４０（ｐＬＶ１０１６）．     

土壤中质粒pLV1016 在快生型大豆根瘤菌间的水平转移

在滤膜、液体培养基和土壤微宇宙3种系统中,研究了接合型质粒pLV1016 由快生型大豆根瘤菌(Rhizobiumfredii)QB1131 向R.frediilux Lux3的水平转移及pLV1016 由QB1131 向土著细菌的转移.接合培养1d后,分别计算供、受体菌的生长速率和质粒转移速率常数(γ).结果表明,相同接种浓度下,滤膜接合时γ值最高,土壤中γ值最低,γ值不受土壤是否灭菌和是否有大豆植株的影响,γ值与初始接种浓度负相关,与供、受体的生长速率正相关.在未灭菌土中检测到pLV1016 可转移到土著细菌,土著接合子分别属于根瘤菌属和假单胞菌属.     

淹水-控温模式下砷污染水稻土溶液中砷形态的变化

以水稻种植区的砷污染土壤为研究对象,采用高效液相色谱(HPLC)-电感耦合等离子体质谱(ICP-MS)联用分析测试系统,研究了不同培养温度(5、27和50 ℃)对灭菌和不灭菌的土壤淹水后其溶液中砷赋存形态变化的影响.结果表明： 在土壤溶液中检测到的砷形态只有无机三价砷(As^Ⅲ)、无机五价砷(As^V)和有机的二甲基砷(DMA^V),未检测到单甲基砷(MMA^V)的存在;在不同控温条件下随淹水时间的延长,As^Ⅲ逐渐转变为砷的主要赋存形态,平均比例约为64%;As^V次之,约占35%,DMA^V的含量相对最低,约占1%;土壤灭菌与否对土壤溶液中五价砷的水平没有明显影响,但明显影响了五价砷的还原和促进了无机三价砷的甲基化,并且灭菌的促进效果随着淹水及培养时间的延长而逐渐降低;50 ℃、淹水23 d时,灭菌土壤溶液中DMA^V浓度最高,为23.7 ng·mL^-1,这说明灭菌土壤中残留的某些嗜热微生物成为优势菌群并促进了土壤溶液中砷的甲基化.结合水稻生长的实际环境条件对该研究结果进行分析,培养温度27 ℃淹水23 d后不灭菌的自然土壤溶液中砷浓度处于较低水平,因此在砷污染的水稻种植区建议采用短周期干湿交替的水分管理模式,在保障产量的情况下可尽量降低土壤溶液中砷的水平.

Construction of a virulent, green fluorescent protein-tagged Yersinia ruckeri and detection in trout tissues after intraperitoneal and immersion challenge

A green fluorescent protein (GFP) expressing strain of Yersinia ruckeri was created by the transposition of a Tn10-GFP-kan cassette into the genome of Y. ruckeri Strain YRNC10. The derivative, YRNC10-gfp, was highly GFP fluorescent, retained the gfp-km marker in the absence of kanamycin selection, and exhibited in vitro growth kinetics similar to those of the wild type strain. YRNC10-gfp colonized and caused mortality in immersion and intraperitoneally challenged rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss, although it was modestly attenuated compared to the wild type strain. The distribution and location of YRNC10-gfp in infected fish was visualized by epifluorescence microscopy. Abundant extracellular bacteria and a small number of intracellular bacteria were observed in the kidney, spleen and peripheral blood. To determine the percentage of trout cells containing intracellular bacteria, GFP fluorescence was measured by flow cytometry. A small population of GFP positive leukocytes was detected in peripheral blood (1.6%), spleen (1.1%) and anterior kidney (0.4%) tissues. In summary, this is the first report of the construction of a virulent, GFP-tagged Y. ruckeri, which may be a useful model for detecting and imaging the interactions between an aquatic pathogen and the natural salmonid host.     

Nucleotide specificity of an archaeal group II chaperonin from Thermococcus strain KS-1 with reference to the ATP-dependent protein folding cycle

The archaeal chaperonin-mediated folding of green fluorescent protein (GFP) was examined in the presence of various nucleotides. The recombinant alpha- and beta-subunit homo-oligomers and natural chaperonin oligomer from Thermococcus strain KS-1 exhibited folding activity with not only ATP but also with CTP, GTP, or UTP. The ADP-bound form of both recombinant and natural chaperonin had the ability to capture non-native GFP, but could not refold it in the presence of CTP, GTP or UTP until ATP was supplied. The archaeal chaperonin thus utilized ATP, but could not use other nucleoside triphosphates in the cytoplasm where ADP was present.     

Construction of Bacillus thuringiensis wild-type S76 and Cry- derivatives expressing a green fluorescent protein: two potential marker organisms to study bacteria-plant interactions

Collectively, the species Bacillus thuringiensis, Bacillus cereus, and Bacillus anthracis represent microorganisms of high economic, medical, and biodefense importance. Although the genetic correlation and pathogenic characteristics have been extensively dissected, the ecological properties of these three species in their natural environments remain poorly understood. Thus, a tractable marker for detecting these bacteria under specific environmental and physiological conditions is a valuable tool. With this purpose, a plasmid (pAD43-25) carrying a functional gfp gene sequence (gfpmut3A) was introduced into the wild-type strain Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. kurstaki S76, which bears approximately 11 plasmids, allowing constitutive synthesis of green fluorescent protein (GFP) during vegetative growth (strain S76GFP+). Additionally, this vector was transferred to a plasmid-cured (Cry-) B. thuringiensis host. Bright green cells were detected by fluorescence microscopy in both recombinants by 2 h after inoculation in liquid medium and could be seen throughout the remaining cultivation time until complete sporulation was accomplished. For strain S76GFP+ protein profile and plasmid DNA analyses indicate, respectively, that this recombinant maintained Cry proteins expression and resident plasmid outline. Thus, in addition to the potential of strain S76GFP+ as a marker organism in bacteria-plant interaction studies, the production and stability of active GFPmut3a make this unique expression system a useful experimental model to study adaptive changes of host-plasmid as well as plasmid-plasmid relationships in a population of cells stressed by the production of a recombinant protein.     

A green fluorescent protein-based whole-cell bioreporter for the detection of phenylacetic acid

Phenylacetic acid (PAA) is produced by many bacteria as an antifungal agent and also appears to be an environmentally toxic chemical. The object of this study was to detect PAA using Pseudomonas putida harboring a reporter plasmid that has a PAA-inducible promoter fused to a green fluorescent protein (GFP) gene. Pseudomonas putida KT2440 was used to construct a green fluorescent protein-based reporter fusion using the paaA promoter region to detect the presence of PAA. The reporter strain exhibited a high level of gfp expression in minimal medium containing PAA; however, the level of GFP expression diminished when glucose was added to the medium, whereas other carbon sources, such as succinate and pyruvate, showed no catabolic repression. Interestingly, overexpression of a paaF gene encoding PAACoA ligase minimized catabolic repression. The reporter strain could also successfully detect PAA produced by other PAA-producing bacteria. This GFP-based bioreporter provides a useful tool for detecting bacteria producing PAA.

Rescue and preliminary application of a recombinant newcastle disease virus expressing green fluorescent protein gene

Based on the complete genome sequence of Newcastle disease virus (NDV) ZJI strain, seven pairs of primers were designed to amplify a cDNA fragment for constructing the plasmid pNDV/ZJI, which contained the full-length cDNA of the NDV ZJI strain. The pNDV/ZJI, with three helper plasmids, pCIneoNP, pCIneoP and pCIneoL, were then cotransfected into BSR-T7/5 cells expressing T7 RNA polymerase. After inoculation of the transfected cell culture supernatant into embryonated chicken eggs from specific-pathogen-free (SPF) flock, an infectious NDV ZJI strain was successfully rescued. Green fluorescent protein (GFP) gene was amplified and inserted into the NDV full-length cDNA to generate a GFP-tagged recombinant plasmid pNDV/ZJIGFP. After cotransfection of the resultant plasmid and the three support plasmids into BSR-T7/5 cells, the recombinant NDV, NDV/ZJIGFP, was rescued. Specific green fluorescence was observed in BSR-T7/5 and chicken embryo fibroblast (CEF) cells 48h post-infection, indicating that the GFP gene was expressed at a relatively high level. NDV/ZJIGFP was inoculated into 10-day-old SPF chickens by oculonasal route. Four days post-infection, strong green fluorescence could be detected in the kidneys and tracheae, indicating that the recombinant GFP-tagged NDV could be a very useful tool for analysis of NDV dissemination and pathogenesis.

Viable, but non-culturable, state of a green fluorescence protein-tagged environmental isolate of Salmonella typhi in groundwater and pond water

An environmental isolate of Salmonella typhi was chromosomally marked with a gfp gene encoding green fluorescence protein (GFP) isolated from Aequorea victoria. The hybrid transposon mini-Tn5 gfp was transconjugated from E. coli to S. typhi, resulting in constitutive GFP production. The survival of S. typhi GFP155 introduced into groundwater and pond water microcosms was examined by GFP-based plate counts, total cell counts, and direct viable counts. A comparison between GFP-based direct viable counts and plate counts was a good method for verifying the viable, but non-culturable (VBNC), state of S. typhi. The entry into a VBNC state of S. typhi was shown in all microcosms. S. typhi survived longer in groundwater than in pond water as both a culturable and a VBNC state.     

The construction and monitoring of genetically marked, plasmid-containing, naphthalene-degrading strains in soil

A genetically marked, plasmid-containing, naphthalene-degrading strain, Pseudomonas putida KT2442(pNF142::TnMod-OTc), has been constructed. The presence of the gfp gene (which codes for green fluorescent protein) and the kanamycin and rifampicin resistance genes in the chromosome of this strain allows the strain's fate in model soil systems to be monitored, whereas a minitransposon, built in naphthalene biodegradation plasmid pNF142, contains the tetracycline resistance gene and makes it possible to follow the horizontal transfer of this plasmid between various bacteria. Plasmid pNF142::TnMod-OTc is stable in strain P. putida KT2442 under nonselective conditions. The maximal specific growth rate of this strain on naphthalene was found to be higher than that of the natural host of plasmid pNF142. When introduced into a model soil system, the genetically marked strain is stable and competitive for 40 days. The transfer of marked plasmid pNF142::TnMod-OTc to natural soil bacteria, predominantly fluorescent pseudomonads, has been detected.
