Pseudomonas putida is a microorganism of biotechnological interest that—similar to many other environmental bacteria—adheres to surfaces and forms biofilms. Although various mechanisms contributing to the swim-attach decision have been studied in this species, the role of a 7-gene operon homologous to the wsp cluster of Pseudomonas aeruginosa—which regulates cyclic di-GMP (cdGMP) levels upon surface contact—remained to be investigated. In this work, the function of the wsp operon of P. putida KT2440 has been characterized through inspection of single and multiple wsp deletion variants, complementation with Pseudomonas aeruginosa's homologues, combined with mutations of regulatory genes fleQ and fleN and removal of the flagellar regulator fglZ. The ability of the resulting strains to form biofilms at 6 and 24 h under three different carbon regimes (citrate, glucose and fructose) revealed that the Wsp complex delivers a similar function to both Pseudomonas species. In P. putida, the key components include WspR, a protein that harbours the domain for producing cdGMP, and WspF, which controls its activity. These results not only contribute to a deeper understanding of the network that regulates the sessile-planktonic decision of P. putida but also suggest strategies to exogenously control such a lifestyle switch. 相似文献

Microorganisms, such as Pseudomonas putida, utilize specific physical properties of cellular membrane constituents, mainly glycerophospholipids, to (re‐)adjust the membrane barrier to environmental stresses. Building a basis for membrane composition/function studies, we inventoried the glycerophospholipids of different Pseudomonas and challenged membranes of growing cells with n‐butanol. Using a new high‐resolution liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC/MS) method, 127 glycerophospholipid species [e.g. phosphatidylethanolamine PE(32:1)] with up to five fatty acid combinations were detected. The glycerophospholipid inventory consists of 305 distinct glycerophospholipids [e.g. PE(16:0/16:1)], thereof 14 lyso‐glycerophospholipids, revealing conserved compositions within the four investigated pseudomonads P. putida KT2440, DOT‐T1E, S12 and Pseudomonas sp. strain VLB120. Furthermore, we addressed the influence of environmental conditions on the glycerophospholipid composition of Pseudomonas via long‐time exposure to the sublethal n‐butanol concentration of 1% (v/v), focusing on: (i) relative amounts of glycerophospholipid species, (ii) glycerophospholipid head group composition, (iii) fatty acid chain length, (iv) degree of saturation and (v) cis/trans isomerization of unsaturated fatty acids. Observed alterations consist of changing head group compositions and for the solvent‐sensitive strain KT2440 diminished fatty acid saturation degrees. Minor changes in the glycerophospholipid composition of the solvent‐tolerant strains P. putida S12 and Pseudomonas sp. VLB120 suggest different strategies of the investigated Pseudomonas to maintain the barrier function of cellular membranes. 相似文献

Many species of Pseudomonas have the ability to use a variety of resources and habitats, and as a result Pseudomonas are often characterized as having broad fundamental niches. We questioned whether actual habitat use by Pseudomonas species is equally broad. To do this, we sampled extensively to describe the biogeography of Pseudomonas within the human home, which presents a wide variety of habitats for microbes that live in close proximity to humans but
are not part of the human flora, and for microbes that are opportunistic pathogens, such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa. From 960 samples taken in 20 homes, we obtained 163 Pseudomonas isolates. The most prevalent based on identification using the SepsiTest BLAST analysis of 16S rRNA () were Pseudomonas monteilii (42 isolates), Pseudomonas plecoglossicida, Pseudomonas fulva, and P. aeruginosa (approximately 25 each). Of these, all but P. fulva differed in recovery rates among evaluated habitat types (drains, soils, water, internal vertebrate sites, vertebrate skin,
inanimate surfaces, and garbage/compost) and all four species also differed in recovery rates among subcategories of habitat
types (e.g., types of soils or drains). We also found that at both levels of habitat resolution, each of these six most common
species (the four above plus Pseudomonas putida and Pseudomonas oryzihabitans) were over- or under-represented in some habitats relative to their contributions to the total Pseudomonas collected across all habitats. This pattern is consistent with niche partitioning. These results suggest that, whereas Pseudomonas are often characterized as generalists with broad fundamental niches, these species in fact have more restricted realized
niches. Furthermore, niche partitioning driven by competition among Pseudomonas species may be contributing to the observed variability in habitat use by Pseudomonas in this system. 相似文献

Pseudomonads are considered to be among the most widespread culturable bacteria in mesophilic environments. The evolutive success of Pseudomonas species can be attributed to their metabolic versatility, in combination with a set of additional functions that enhance their ability to colonize different niches. These include the production of secondary metabolites involved in iron acquisition or having a detrimental effect on potential competitors, different types of motility, and the capacity to establish and persist within biofilms. Although biofilm formation has been extensively studied using the opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa as a model organism, a significant body of knowledge is also becoming available for non-pathogenic Pseudomonas. In this review, we focus on the mechanisms that allow Pseudomonas putida to colonize biotic and abiotic surfaces and adapt to sessile life, as a relevant persistence strategy in the environment. This species is of particular interest because it includes plant-beneficial strains, in which colonization of plant surfaces may be relevant, and strains used for environmental and biotechnological applications, where the design and functionality of biofilm-based bioreactors, for example, also have to take into account the efficiency of bacterial colonization of solid surfaces. This work reviews the current knowledge of mechanistic and regulatory aspects of biofilm formation by P. putida and pinpoints the prospects in this field. 相似文献

Aspergillus nidulans senses red and blue-light and employs a phytochrome and a Neurospora crassa White Collar (WC) homologous system for light perception and transmits this information into developmental decisions. Under
light conditions it undergoes asexual development and in the dark it develops sexually. The phytochrome FphA consists of a
light sensory domain and a signal output domain, consisting of a histidine kinase and a response regulator domain. Previously
it was shown that the phytochrome FphA directly interacts with the WC-2 homologue, LreB and another regulator, VeA. In this
paper we mapped the interaction of FphA with LreB to the histidine kinase and the response regulator domain at the C-terminus
in vivo using the bimolecular fluorescence complementation assay and in vitro by co-immunoprecipitation. In comparison, VeA
interacted with FphA only at the histidine kinase domain. We present evidence that VeA occurs as a phosphorylated and a non-phosphorylated
form in the cell. The phosphorylation status of the protein was independent of the light receptors FphA, LreB and the WC-1
homologue LreA. 相似文献

Fluorescent Pseudomonas species are characterized by the production of pyoverdin-type siderophores for Fe3+ acquisition in iron-limited environments. Since it produces a structurally specific pyoverdin, Pseudomonas putida strain BTP1 could represent a valuable tool in an attempt to correlate the structural features of these compounds with some specificity in their two main properties i.e. affinity for iron and recognition rate by other Pseudomonas strains. An uncommonly high affinity for iron of the pyoverdin synthetized by P. putida BTP1 was observed by comparing both the apparent stability constant and the decomplexation kinetic of its ferric complex with those of ferripyoverdins from other strains. On another hand, results from growth stimulation experiments and labeled ferripyoverdin uptake assays highlighted the very low recognition rate of BTP1 isopyoverdins by membrane receptors of foreign strains. By contrast, P. putida BTP1 was able to utilize a broad spectrum of structurally unrelated exogenous pyoverdins by means of multiple receptors that are likely constitutively expressed in its outer membrane. The unusual traits of its pyoverdin-mediated iron acquisition system should contribute to enlarge the ecological competence of Pseudomonas putida BTP1 in terms of colonization and persistence in the rhizosphere. 相似文献

Most biofilm studies employ single species, yet in nature biofilms exist as mixed cultures, with inevitable effects on growth and development of each species present. To investigate how related species of bacteria interact in biofilms, two Pseudomonas spp., Pseudomonas fluorescens and Pseudomonas putida, were cultured in capillary bioreactors and their growth measured by confocal microscopy and cell counting. When inoculated in pure culture, both bacteria formed healthy biofilms within 72?h with uniform coverage of the surface. However, when the bioreactors were inoculated with both bacteria simultaneously, P. putida was completely dominant after 48?h. Even when the inoculation by P. putida was delayed for 24?h, P. fluorescens was eliminated from the capillary within 48?h. It is proposed that production of the lipopeptide putisolvin by P. putida is the likely reason for the reduction of P. fluorescens. Putisolvin biosynthesis in the dual-species biofilm was confirmed by mass spectrometry. 相似文献

We investigated the effect of different oxygen regimes on growth patterns of Pseudomonas spp. during benzene degradation in microcosm batch studies. Benzene degradation was induced by limiting oxygen available for microbial activity, which consists of three initial-dissolved oxygen (DO) levels of oxic, hypoxic, and anoxic conditions. Batch experiments were performed for cell growth and benzene degradation by inoculating three strains of Pseudomonas spp. (Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Pseudomonas fluorescens, Pseudomonas putida) in mineral salt medium containing aqueous benzene. Results showed that all strains were capable to grow and degrade benzene under all oxygen regimes but in a different manner. The highest cell growth of P. aeruginosa and P. fluorescens was achieved under oxic and anoxic condition, respectively, but there was no substantial difference on benzene degradation between the oxygen treatments with about 25% reduction for both strains. P. putida showed a facultative process for both cell growth and benzene degradation. This reveals that care should be taken in selection of microorganisms with regard to environmental studies since they exhibit different responses for given environmental conditions such as DO levels. 相似文献

The catechol 2,3-dioxygenase (C23O) gene in naphthalene catabolic plasmid pND6-1 of Pseudomonas sp. ND6 was cloned and sequenced. The C23O gene was consisted of 924 nucleotides and encoded a polypeptide of molecular weight 36 kDa containing 307 amino acid residues. The C23O of Pseudomonas sp. ND6 exhibited 93% and 89% identities in amino acid sequence with C23Os encoded by naphthalene catabolic plasmid NAH7 from Pseudomonas putida G7 and the chromosome of Pseudomonas stutzeri AN10 respectively. The Pseudomonas sp. ND6 C23O gene was overexpressed in Escherichia coli DH 5α using the lac promoter of pUC18, and its gene product was purified by DEAE-Sephacel and Phenyl-Sepharose CL-4B chromatography. The enzymology experiments indicated that the specific activity and thermostability of C23O from Pseudomonas sp. ND6 were better than those of C23O from Pseudomonas putida G7. 相似文献

WalRK (YycFG) two‐component systems (TCSs) of low‐GC Gram‐positive bacteria play critical roles in regulating peptidogylcan hydrolase genes involved in cell division and wall stress responses. The WalRK (VicRK) TCSs of Streptococcus pneumoniae (pneumococcus) and other Streptococcus species show numerous differences with those of other low‐GC species. Notably, the pneumococcal WalK sensor kinase is not essential for normal growth in culture, unlike its homologues in Bacillus and Staphylococcus species. The WalK sensor kinase possesses histidine autokinase activity and mediates dephosphorylation of phosphorylated WalR~P response regulator. To understand the contributions of these two WalK activities to pneumococcal growth, we constructed and characterized a set of walK kinase and phosphatase mutants in biochemical reactions and in cells. We identified an amino acid substitution in WalK that significantly reduces phosphatase activity, but not other activities. Comparisons were made between WalRK regulon expression levels and WalR~P amounts in cells determined by Phos‐tag SDS‐PAGE. Reduction of WalK phosphatase activity resulted in nearly 90% phosphorylation to WalR~P, consistent with the conclusion that WalK phosphatase is strongly active in exponentially growing cells. WalK phosphatase activity was also shown to depend on the WalK PAS domain and to limit cross‐talk and the recovery of WalR~P from walK+ cells. 相似文献

Growing environmental concern sparks renewed interest in the sustainable production of (bio)materials that can replace oil-derived goods. Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are isotactic polymers that play a critical role in the central metabolism of producer bacteria, as they act as dynamic reservoirs of carbon and reducing equivalents. PHAs continue to attract industrial attention as a starting point toward renewable, biodegradable, biocompatible, and versatile thermoplastic and elastomeric materials. Pseudomonas species have been known for long as efficient biopolymer producers, especially for medium-chain-length PHAs. The surge of synthetic biology and metabolic engineering approaches in recent years offers the possibility of exploiting the untapped potential of Pseudomonas cell factories for the production of tailored PHAs. In this article, an overview of the metabolic and regulatory circuits that rule PHA accumulation in Pseudomonas putida is provided, and approaches leading to the biosynthesis of novel polymers (e.g., PHAs including nonbiological chemical elements in their structures) are discussed. The potential of novel PHAs to disrupt existing and future market segments is closer to realization than ever before. The review is concluded by pinpointing challenges that currently hinder the wide adoption of bio-based PHAs, and strategies toward programmable polymer biosynthesis from alternative substrates in engineered P. putida strains are proposed. 相似文献

The transfer of the IncP-7 carbazole degradative plasmid pCAR1 from Pseudomonas putida SM1443 (derived from strain KT2440) into bacteria of river water samples was monitored using a reporter gene encoding red
fluorescent protein (RFP). The number of transconjugants drastically increased in the presence of carbazole, and most appeared
to belong to the genus Pseudomonas. The results suggest that the presence of carbazole benefits the appearance of transconjugants belonging to the genus Pseudomonas. Intriguingly, we also detected the transfer of pCAR1 into non-Pseudomonas, Stenotrophomonas-like bacteria. 相似文献

Fluorescent pseudomonads are among the most influencing plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria in plants rhizosphere. In this
research work the plant growth-promoting activities of 40 different strains of Pseudomonas fluorescens and Pseudomonas
putida, previously isolated from the rhizosphere of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and canola (Brassica napus L.) and maintained in the microbial collection of Soil and Water Research Institute, Tehran, Iran, were evaluated. The ability
of bacteria to produce auxin and siderophores and utilizing P sources with little solubility was determined. Four strains
of Wp1 (P.
putida), Cfp10 (Pseudomonas sp.), Wp150 (P. putida), and Wp159 (P. putida) were able to grow in the DF medium with ACC. Thirty percent of bacterial isolates from canola rhizosphere and 33% of bacterial
isolates from wheat rhizosphere were able to produce HCN. The results indicate that most of the bacteria, tested in the experiment,
have plant growth-promoting activities. This is the first time that such PGPR species are isolated from the Iranian soils.
With respect to their great biological capacities they can be used for wheat and canola inoculation in different parts of
the world, which is of very important agricultural implications. 相似文献

Protein phosphorylation on serine, threonine, and tyrosine is well established as a crucial regulatory posttranslational modification in eukaryotes. With the recent whole‐genome sequencing projects reporting the presence of serine/threonine kinases and two‐component proteins both in prokaryotes and eukaryotes, the importance of protein phosphorylation in archaea and bacteria is gaining acceptance. While conventional biochemical methods failed to obtain a snapshot of the bacterial phosphoproteomes, advances in MS methods have paved the way for in‐depth mapping of phosphorylation sites. Here, we present phosphoproteomes of two ecologically diverse non‐enteric Gram‐negative bacteria captured by a nanoLC‐MS‐based approach combined with a novel phosphoenrichment method. While the phosphoproteome data from the two species are not very similar, the results reflect high similarity to the previously published dataset in terms of the pathways the phosphoproteins belong to. This study additionally provides evidence to prior observations that protein phosphorylation is common in bacteria. Notably, phosphoproteins identified in Pseudomonas aeruginosa belong to motility, transport, and pathogenicity pathways that are critical for survival and virulence. We report, for the first time, that motility regulator A, probably acting via the novel secondary messenger cyclic diguanylate monophosphate, significantly affects protein phosphorylation in Pseudomonas putida. 相似文献

Organisms have evolved signal transduction systems to quickly adapt their lifestyle to internal and environmental changes. While protein kinases and two-component systems are widely distributed in Bacteria, they are also found in Archaea but are less diversified and abundant. In this work, we analysed the function of the kinase RdmS and its role in a putative two-component system in the methanogenic archaeon Methanosarcina acetivorans. RdmS is encoded upstream of the regulator MsrF, which activates the expression of the corrinoid/methyltransferase fusion protein MtsD. In contrast to a typical bacterial histidine kinase, RdmS lacks a membrane domain and the conserved histidine residue for phosphorylation, indicating a different mechanism of signal transduction in comparison to bacterial counterparts. RdmS covalently binds a heme cofactor and is thereby able to bind small molecules like CO and dimethyl sulfide. Interestingly, RdmS possesses a redox-dependent autophosphorylation activity, which, however, is independent of the bound heme cofactor. In fact, our experimental data suggest a thiol-based redox sensing mechanism by RdmS. Moreover, we were able to show that RdmS interacts with the regulator protein MsrF. From these data, we conclude RdmS to be a thiol-based kinase sensing redox changes and forming an archaeal multicomponent system with the regulators MsrG/F/C. 相似文献

Pigment is the first contaminant to be recognised in bodies of water and wastewater. Besides the aesthetic problem, dyes obstruct light and reduce oxygen mass transfer. This paper describes the selection of Pseudomonas strains with the ability to remove colour from textile industrial dyes. Four Pseudomonas species were tested against 14 commercial industrial dyes. Pseudomonas cepacia exhibited no growth at all on plates containing dyes (1 g l?1), whereas Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Pseudomonas oleovorans and Pseudomonas putida exhibited considerable growth. Decolourization in a liquid culture revealed that P. oleovorans is more viable for decolourizing textile dyes, as it achieved over 80% colour removal for two of the 14 dyes studied; it also proved to be more tolerant to high dye concentrations. 相似文献

6-Hydroxynicotinate can be used for the production of drugs, pesticides and intermediate chemicals. Some Pseudomonas species were reported to be able to convert nicotinic acid to 6-hydroxynicotinate by nicotinate dehydrogenase. So far, previous
reports on NaDH in Pseudomonas genus were confused and contradictory each other. Recently, Ashraf et al. reported an NaDH gene cloned from Eubacterium barkeri and suggested some deducted NaDH genes from other nine bacteria. But they did not demonstrate the activity of recombinant
NaDH and did not mention NaDH gene in Pseudomonas. In this study we cloned the gene of NaDH, ndhSL, from Pseudomonas putida KT2440. NdhSL in P. putida KT2440 is composed of two subunits. The small subunit contains [2Fe2S] iron sulfur domain, while the large subunit contains
domains of molybdenum cofactor and cytochrome c. Expression of recombinant ndhSL in P. entomophila L48, which lacks the ability to produce 6-hydroxynicotinate, enabled the resting cell and cell extract of engineering P. entomophila L48 to hydroxylate nicotinate. Gene knockout and recovery studies further confirmed the ndhSL function. 相似文献
