Cultures of Chromatium vinosum, devoid of sulfur globules, were supplemented with sulfide and incubated under anoxic conditions in the light. The concentrations of sulfide, polysulfides, thiosulfate, polythionates and elemental sulfur (sulfur rings) were monitored for 3 days by ion-chromatography and reversed-phase HPLC. While sulfide disappeared rapidly, thiosulfate and elemental sulfur (S6, S7 S8 rings) were formed. After sulfide depletion, the concentration of thiosulfate decreased fairly rapidly, but elemental sulfur was oxidized very slowly to sulfate. Neither polysulfides (S

Isolation and identification of granule-associated proteins relevant for poly(3-hydroxyalkanoic acid) biosynthesis in Chromatium vinosum D 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Abstract Poly(3-hydroxybutyric acid) granules, which harbored only four major granule-associated proteins as revealed by SDS polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, were isolated from crude cellular extracts of Chromatium vinosum D by centrifugation in a linear sucrose gradient. N-Terminal amino acid sequence determination identified two proteins of M r 41 000 and M r 40 000 as the phaE Cv and phaC Cv translational products, respectively, of C. vinosum D. In a previous study it was shown that both proteins are required for the expression opf poly(3-hydroxyalkanoic acid) synthase activity. The N-terminus of the third protein ( M r 17 000) exhibited no homology to other proteins. Lysozyme, which was during purification of the granules, exhibited a strong affinity to PHB granules and was identified as the fourth protein enriched with the granules. 相似文献

Antibiotic production by the marine photosynthetic bacterium Chromatium purpuratum NKPB 031704: localization of activity to the chromatophores 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

Abstract Over 200 strains of marine purple photosynthetic bacteria were isolated. Two strains showed antibiotic activity towards Saccharomyces cerevisiae and were tentatively identified as Chromatium purpuratum . Crude antibiotic, prepared by solvent extraction, showed a broad antimicrobial spectrum. The highest activity was found in the chromatophore fraction. Chromatographic separation of purified light harvesting complex from one strain, NKPB 031704, showed the presence of two separate pigmented compounds which were responsible for antimicrobial activity. Our findings reveal the unexpected ability of photosynthetic bacteria to produce broad spectrum antibiotics. In addition, this is the first example of intracellular localization of antibiotic activity in a marine bacterium. 相似文献

The effect of low irradiation on the viability of Chromatium vinosum was investigated. Cultures were precultivated at 1,000 lux (=0.1/h). Then, before the substrate was depleted, illumination was changed to either complete darkness or about 30 lux. Previously, the latter light intensity had been found not to promote growth.The parameters assayed were viability, protein, bacteriochlorophyll, ATP, RNA, DNA, absorbance (E
260) of the supernatant, and total anthron-positive material.The data show that irradiation insufficiently high to promote growth, results in viability percentages as high as 90% after 8 days, whereas cultures incubated in complete darkness are virtually dead by then. Neither in the light nor in the dark a degradation of protein or cell wall hexoses was observed. The RNA content also remained constant. However, particularly in the dark cultures DNA was found to decrease concomitant with increased E
260 readings of the supernatant. It is considered unlikely that such essential macromolecules are degraded to serve the maintenance energy requirements. The ecological impact of the observations is discussed.Non-Standard Abbreviations PHB

Reduction of a cytochrome b following excitation by a single, short, near-saturating light flash has been demonstrated in Chromatium vinosum chromatophores. The extent of reduction is increased by addition of antimycin. The cytochrome has an α-band maximum at 562 nm in the presence of antimycin.The cytochrome b reduction is most readily observed in the presence of antimycin at high redox potential when cytochrome c-555 is oxidised before excitation. Under these conditions the half-time for reduction is about 20 ms, and the extent is about 0.5 mol of cytochrome b reduced per mol of reaction center oxidised. This extent of reduction is observed on the first flash-excitation from the dark-adapted state, and there was no indication that the reaction center quinone acceptor complex acted as a two-electron accumulating system. With cytochrome c-555 reduced before excitation, the extent of cytochrome b reduction is approximately halved. The factors which result in substoichiometric cytochrome b reduction are not yet understood.Agents which appear to inhibit primary acceptor oxidation by the secondary acceptor (UHDBT, PHDBT, DDAQQ, HOQNO, o-phenanthroline), inhibit reduction of the cytochrome b. DBMIB inhibits cytochrome b reduction but does not appear to inhibit primary acceptor oxidation.These observations confirm that a cytochrome b receives electrons delivered from the primary acceptor complex, and indicate that the photoreduced cytochrome b is reoxidised via an antimycin-sensitive pathway. 相似文献

Purple sulfur bacteria store sulfur as intracellular globules enclosed by a protein envelope. We cloned the genes sgpA, sgpB, and sgpC, which encode the three different proteins that constitute the sulfur globule envelope of Chromatium vinosum D (DSMZ 180T). Southern hybridization analyses and nucleotide sequencing showed that these three genes are not clustered in the same operon.
All three genes are preceded by sequences resembling σ70-dependent promoters, and hairpin structures typical for rho-independent terminators are found immediately downstream of the
translational stop codons of sgpA, sgpB, and sgpC. Insertional inactivation of sgpA in Chr. vinosum showed that the presence of only one of the homologous proteins SgpA and SgpB suffices for formation of intact sulfur globules.
All three sgp genes encode translation products which – when compared to the isolated proteins – carry amino-terminal extensions. These
extensions meet all requirements for typical signal peptides indicating an extracytoplasmic localization of the sulfur globule
proteins. A fusion of the phoA gene to the sequence encoding the proposed signal peptide of sgpA led to high specific alkaline phosphatase activities in Escherichia coli, further supporting the envisaged targeting process. Together with electron microscopic evidence these results provide strong
indication for an extracytoplasmic localization of the sulfur globules in Chr. vinosum and probably in other Chromatiaceae. Extracytoplasmic formation of stored sulfur could contribute to the transmembranous
Δp that drives ATP synthesis and reverse electron flow in Chr. vinosum.

Sulfide oxidation in the phototrophic purple sulfur bacterium Chromatium vinosum D (DSMZ 180T) was studied by insertional inactivation of the fccAB genes, which encode flavocytochrome c, a protein that exhibits sulfide dehydrogenase activity in vitro. Flavocytochrome c is located in the periplasmic space as shown by a PhoA fusion to the signal peptide of the hemoprotein subunit. The genotype
of the flavocytochrome-c-deficient Chr. vinosum strain FD1 was verified by Southern hybridization and PCR, and the absence of flavocytochrome c in the mutant was proven at the protein level. The oxidation of thiosulfate and intracellular sulfur by the flavocytochrome-c-deficient mutant was comparable to that of the wild-type. Disruption of the fccAB genes did not have any significant effect on the sulfide-oxidizing ability of the cells, showing that flavocytochrome c is not essential for oxidation of sulfide to intracellular sulfur and indicating the presence of a distinct sulfide-oxidizing
system. In accordance with these results, Chr. vinosum extracts catalyzed electron transfer from sulfide to externally added duroquinone, indicating the presence of the enzyme
sulfide:quinone oxidoreductase (EC 1.8.5.-). Further investigations showed that the sulfide:quinone oxidoreductase activity
was sensitive to heat and to quinone analogue inhibitors. The enzyme is strictly membrane-bound and is constitutively expressed.
The presence of sulfide:quinone oxidoreductase points to a connection of sulfide oxidation to the membrane electron transport
system at the level of the quinone pool in Chr. vinosum.
