The genus-specific surface protein antigens of Azospirillum brasilense strains were visualized immunochemically. The procedure used for cell sample preparation was optimized to ensure that the surface protein structures were detected on cells in situ. Gold and gold-silver nanoparticles were conjugated to antibodies raised against the flagellin of A. brasilense type strain Sp7, against the lipopolysaccharide of A. brasilense Sp245, and against the genus-specific protein determinants of A. brasilense Sp7. Electron microscopic analysis using nanoparticle-labeled antibodies revealed antigenic determinants of the polar flagellum on the A. brasilense Sp245 cell surface, which in these bacteria are normally screened from the surroundings by a lipopolysaccharide sheath. Pili-like structures were detected on the Sp245 wild-type strain and on its Fla– Swa– Omegon-Km mutant SK048, which are presumably involved in microcolonial spreading in these bacteria. 相似文献

The dependence of the changes of physical parameters of the suspension of Azospirillum brasilense Sp7 cells infected by FAb-Sp7 bacteriophage on their number and exposure time was studied using a biological sensor based on a piezoelectric resonator with a lateral electric field. The change in the value of the analytical signal was recorded at 1 minute from the beginning of the infection of the cells by bacteriophage. The selectivity of the action of the FAb-Sp7 bacteriophage was studied for Azospirillum brasilense (strains Cd, Sp107, Sp245, Jm6B2, Br14, KR77, S17, S27, SR55, and SR75), A. lipoferum (strains Sp59b, SR65, and RG20a), A. halopraeferans Au4, Nitrospirillum amazonense Am14, Niveispirillum irakense (strains KBC1 and KA3) bacteria, as well as for heterologous bacteria of the genera Escherichia coli (strains XL-1 and B-878), Pseudomonas putida (strains C-11 and BA-11), and Acinetobacter calcoaceticum A-122. The limit of the reliable determination of the concentration of microbial cells during bacteriophage infection process was found: ~104 cells/mL. At the same time, the presence of heterologous cell cultures (E. coli XL-1 cells) did not complicate the detection. It was shown that the method of electroacoustical analysis of cell suspensions can be used for the detection of microbial cells of Azospirillum infected by the FAb-Sp7 bacteriophage. The results are promising for the development of methods for determining and controlling the number of soil microorganisms. 相似文献

The previously obtained insertion mutants of Azospirillum brasilense Sp245 in the genes mmsB1 and fabG1 (strains SK039 and Sp245.1610, respectively) were characterized by impaired flagellation and motility. The putative products of expression of these genes are 3-hydroxyisobutyrate dehydrogenase and 3-oxoacyl-[acyl-carrier protein] reductase, respectively. In the present work, A. brasilense strains Sp245, SK039, and Sp245.1610 were found to have differences in the content of 3-hydroxyhexadecanoic, hexadecanoic, 3-hydroxytetradecanoic, hexadecenoic, octadecenoic, and nonadecanoic acids in their lipopolysaccharide preparations, as well as in cell hydrophobicity and hemagglutination activity and dynamics of cell aggregation, in biomass amount, and in the relative content of lipopolysaccharide antigens in mature biofilms formed on hydrophilic or hydrophobic surfaces. 相似文献

It is known that in Azospirillum brasilense strains Sp245 and SR75 included in serogroup I, the repeat units of their O-polysaccharides consist of five residues of D-rhamnose, and in strain SR15, of four; and the heteropolymeric O-polysaccharide of A. brasilense type strain Sp7 from serogroup II contains not less than five types of repeat units. In the present work, a complex of nondegenerate primers to the genes of A. brasilense Sp245 plasmids AZOBR_p6, AZOBR_p3, and AZOBR_p2, which encode putative enzymes for the biosynthesis of core oligosaccharide and O-polysaccharide of lipopolysaccharide, capsular polysaccharides, and exopolysaccharides, was proposed. By using the designed primers, products of the expected sizes were synthesized in polymerase chain reactions on genomic DNA of A. brasilense Sp245, SR75, SR15, and Sp7 in 36, 29, 23, and 12 cases, respectively. As a result of sequencing of a number of amplicons, a high (86–99%) level of identity of the corresponding putative polysaccharide biosynthesis genes in three A. brasilense strains from serogroup I was detected. In a blotting-hybridization reaction with the biotin-labeled DNA of the A. brasilense gene AZOBR_p60122 coding for putative permease of the ABC transporter of polysaccharides, localization of the homologous gene in ~120-MDa plasmids of the bacteria A. brasilense SR15 and SR75 was revealed. 相似文献

The electrooptical abilities of the microbial suspensions during a cells interaction with antibodies (ABs) of a different specificity have been studied on the example of the Azospirillum brasilense Sp245 cells and their interaction with the polyclonal monospecific and polyspecific antibodies. Measuring of the orientational spectra of the cells has been performed using the ELUS electrooptical analyzer. A discrete frequency set of an orienting electric field (740, 1000, 1450, 2000, and 2800 kHz) was used. It has been shown that an interaction of the polyspecific AB with the investigated cells redoubles the value of an electrooptical signal of the cells’ suspension as compared with the monospecific antibodies. These findings can be used for a development a new method of microorganism detection. 相似文献

Herein, we reveal the alteration in phenol oxidase enzymes complex production from Azospirillum brasilense Sp245 omegon mutants with polar and lateral flagella dysfunction and from A. brasilense Sp7 phase variants with different plasmid composition. The enzymatic activities for various laccases, tyrosinases, Mnperoxidases, and lignin peroxidases as well as the isomorphic composition of intracellular laccases and tyrosinases were estimated for the studied variants and the parent strains. It was noted that various genetic events correlating with phenotypic heterogeneity in A. brasilense populations affect their phenol oxidase activity level. 相似文献

Azospirillum brasilense has the ability of swimming and swarming motility owing to the work of a constitutive polar flagellum and inducible lateral flagella, respectively. The interplay between these flagellar systems is poorly understood. One of the key elements of the flagellar export apparatus is the protein FlhB. Two predicted flhB genes are present in the genome of A. brasilense Sp245 (accession nos. HE577327–HE577333). Experimental evidence obtained here indicates that the chromosomal coding sequence (CDS) AZOBR_150177 (flhB1) of Sp245 is essential for the production of both types of flagella. In an flhB1::?Omegon-Km mutant, Sp245.1063, defects in polar and lateral flagellar assembly and motility were complemented by expressing the wild-type flhB1 gene from plasmid pRK415. It was found that Sp245.1063 lost the capacity for slight but statistically significant decrease in mean cell length in response to transfer from solid to liquid media, and vice versa; in the complemented mutant, this capacity was restored. It was also shown that after the acquisition of the pRK415-harbored downstream CDS AZOBR_150176, cells of Sp245 and Sp245.1063 ceased to elongate on solid media. These initial data suggest that the AZOBR_150176-encoded putative multisensory hybrid sensor histidine kinase–response regulator, in concert with FlhB1, plays a role in morphological response of azospirilla to changes in the hardness of a milieu. 相似文献

The pH dependences of electrokinetic potentials (EKP) of the cells of two Escherichia coli K-12 strains (D21 and JM 103) with known lipopolysaccharide (LPS) core composition have been determined by the method of microelectrophoresis. At pH 4.6–5.2, the negative surface charge of the cells with Re core LPS was reliably higher. It was shown that the interaction of bacteria with lysozyme results in a decrease of optical density of suspensions due to higher sensitivity of the cells with complete LPS core to hypotonic shock. LPS release from bacterial cell wall depended also on bacterial LPS core composition and increased with LPS core extension. Electrokinetic measurements and the study of the interaction of cells with lysozyme suggest that higher negative surface charge of E. coli JM 103 cells (Re type LPS) is associated with higher quantity and density of LPS packing in the cell wall as compared with the cells of E. coli D21 (Ra type LPS). 相似文献

Electrooptical characteristics of Azospirillum brasilense Sp7 cells during their specific interaction with polyclonal rabbit antibodies were studied. Dependence of optical density of cell suspension during electroorientation of cells from frequency of orienting field in interval 10, 100, 250, and 500 kHz was evaluated. Itwas shown that electrooptical (EO) characteristics of bacterial suspensions change during interaction of A. brasilense cells with antibodies, and maximal changes occur when frequency of oriented field amounts 100-250 kHz. During interaction of A. brasilense Sp7 with strain-specific polyclonal antibodies in the presence of Escherichia coli K-12 and Pseudomonas putida C-11 decrease of amplitude of analytic signal was observed but detection of A. brasilense Sp7 cells was possible. Possibility of detection of microorganisms by EO analysis during their interaction with antibodies was shown. 相似文献

The effect of kanamycin on the electrophysical parameters of cell suspensions of Escherichia coli K-12 and pMMB33 was investigated. Incubation of the sensitive K-12 strain with kanamycin resulted in significant changes in the orientation spectra (OS) of the cell suspensions; these changes were not revealed in the case of the resistant pMMB33 strain. In the case of the sensitive K-12 strain incubated with different kanamycin concentrations, changes in the OS of the cell suspensions occurred within the 10–1000 kHz frequency range of the orienting electrical field. The most pronounced change in the electrooptical signal was observed at 10 μg/ml of kanamycin. Control experiments were carried out by standard plating on nutrient media. Thus, the OS changes of suspensions in the presence of antibiotics may be used as a test for microbial resistance to such antibiotics. 相似文献

The presence of a polysaccharide sheath on the surface of the polar flagellum of Azospirillum brasilense was revelted by immunoelectron microscopy and immunodiffusion analysis with strain-specific antibodies to lipopolysaccharides (LPS). The antigenic identity of A. brasilense Sp245 sheath material and one of the two O-specific polysaccharides of its somatic LPS was demonstrated. The screening effect of the sheath in respect to flagellin was determined by agglutination tests and by the inhibition of azospirilla motility in liquid and semisolid agarized media caused by strain-specific antibodies to LPS; no pronounced effect of genus-specific antibodies to flagellin was observed. 相似文献

We evaluated the effect of lipopolysaccharides from the plant-growth-promoting associative bacterium Azospirillum brasilense Sp245 and from the enteric bacterium Escherichia coli K12 on the morphogenic potential of in vitro-growing somatic calluses of soft spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L. cv. Saratovskaya 29). A genetic model was used that included two near-isogenic lines of T. aestivum L. cv. Saratovskaya 29 with different embryogenic capacities; one of these lines carries the Rht-B1 dwarfing gene, whereas the other lacks it. When added to the nutrient medium, the lipopolysaccharide of A. brasilense Sp245 promoted the formation of calluses with meristematic centers and stimulated the regeneration ability of the cultured tissues in both lines. By contrast, the lipopolysaccharide of the enteric bacterium E. coli K12 barely affected the morphogenetic activity of callus cells and the yield of morphogenic calluses and regenerated plants. These findings indicate that the lipopolysaccharide of the plant-growth-promoting associative bacterium A. brasilense Sp245 specifically enhances the morphogenetic activity of wheat somatic tissues, which increases the efficacy of culturing of genotypes with a relatively low morphogenic potential. The results of the study may contribute to the improvement of the efficacy of plant cell selection and gene engineering and to a better understanding of the mechanisms responsible for plant recognition of lipopolysaccharides of associative bacteria. 相似文献

The electrophysical properties of Escherichia coli XL-1 cells interacting with helper phage M13K07 were studied as a function of the phage-to-cell ratio and the contact time. The electro-optical signal of bacterial cells changed considerably as soon as 10 min after the onset of their incubation with phage particles, presumably due to phage adsorption on the cell surface. The maximum changes in the orientational spectra of cell suspensions were observed when the phage-to-cell ratio was 20. Selectivity studies showed that E. coli XL-1 cells interacting with the helper phage M13K07 in the presence of foreign microflora, such as E. coli K-12 or Azospirillum brasilense Sp7, can be identified by using their electrophysical properties. Changes in the orientational spectra of cell suspensions are interpreted with the stage of phage-bacterium interaction taken into account. The results obtained can probably be used to devise a new rapid method for identification of microorganisms and to study the particular stages of cell infection by bacteriophages.__________Translated from Mikrobiologiya, Vol. 74, No. 2, 2005, pp. 198–203.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2005 by Bunin, Ignatov, Guliy, Zaitseva, ONeil, Ivnitskii 相似文献

Differences in generation of dormant forms (DF) were revealed between two strains of non-sporeforming gram-negative bacteria Azospirillum brasilense, Sp7 (non-endophytic) and Sp245 (endophytic strain). In post-stationary ageing bacterial cultures grown in a synthetic medium with a fivefold decreased initial nitrogen content, strain Sp7 formed two types of cyst-like resting cells (CRC). Strain Sp245 did not form such types of DF under the same conditions. CRC of the first type were formed in strain Sp245 only under phosphorus deficiency (C > P). The endophytic strain was also shown to form structurally differentiated cells under complete starvation, i.e. at a transfer of early stationary cultures, grown in the media with C > N unbalance, to saline solution (pH 7.2). These DF had a complex structure similar to that of azotobacter cysts. The CRC, which are generated by both azospirilla strains and belong to distinct morphological types, possessed the following major features: absence of division; specific ultrastructural organization; long-term maintenance of viability (for 4 months and more); higher heat resistance (50–60°C, 10 min) as compared with vegetative cells, i.e. the important criteria for dormant prokaryotic forms. However, CRC of non-endophytic strain Sp7 had higher heat resistance (50, 55, 60°C). The viability maintenance and the portion of heat-resistant cells depended on the conditions of maturation and storage of CRC populations. Long-term storage (for 4 months and more) of azospirilla DF populations at ?20°C was optimal for maintenance of their colony-forming ability (57% of the CFU number in stationary cultures), whereas the largest percentage of heat-resistant cells was in CRC suspensions incubated in a spent culture medium (but not in saline solution) at room temperature. The data on the intraspecies diversity of azospirilla DF demonstrate the relation between certain type DF formation to the type of interaction (non-endophytic or endophytic) with the plant partner and provide more insight into the adaptation mechanisms that ensure the survival of gram-negative non-spore-forming bacteria in nature. 相似文献

Effect of the carbon source in the culture medium and of the growth phase on the composition and structure of the capsular polysaccharides (CPSs) and lipopolysaccharides (LPSs) of the bacterium Azospirillum brasilense Sp245 was studied. Growth with fructose resulted in an increased carbohydrate content in the CPSs, while long-term cultivation resulted in an increased content of phosphorus in both CPSs and LPSs. The LPSs produced on the medium with fructose (regardless of the cultivation duration) and the LPSs of the bacteria grown with sodium malate until the stationary phase were characterized by higher levels of unsaturated fatty acids than the LPSs of the bacteria grown with sodium malate to the late exponential phase. The structures of the polysaccharides from the isolated glycopolymers were established using monosaccharide analysis, including determination of the absolute configurations and 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopy. This study is the first to report that the CPS of A. brasilense Sp245 grown with sodium malate to the end of the exponential phase is structurally identical to the O-polysaccharide from the LPS of this bacterium and that the LPS and CPS of A. brasilense Sp245 grown with fructose contain an additional homoglucan of the following structure: [→3)-α-D-Glcp-(1→] n . 相似文献

This study analyzes the effects of procyanidin B2 on early wheat plant growth and plant biochemical responses promoted by lipopolysaccharides (LPS) derived from the rhizobacteria Azospirillum brasilense Sp245. Measurements of leaf, root length, fresh weight, and dry weight showed in vitro plant growth stimulation 4 days after treatment with A. brasilense as well as LPS. Superoxide anion (O2 ·?) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) levels increased in seedling roots treated with LPS (100 μg mL?1). The chlorophyll content in leaf decreased while the starch content increased 24 h after treatment in seedling roots. The LPS treatment induced a high increase in total peroxidase (POX) (EC 1.11.1.7) activity and ionically bound cell wall POX content in roots, when compared to respective controls. Early plant growth and biochemical responses observed in wheat seedlings treated with LPS were inhibited by the addition of procyanidin B2 (5 μg mL?1), a B type proanthocyanidin (PAC), plant-derived polyphenolic compound with binding properties of LPS. All results suggest first that the ionically bound cell wall POX enzymes could be a molecular target of A. brasilense LPS, and second that the recognition or association of LPS by plant cells is required to activate plant responses. This last event could play a critical role during plant growth regulation by A. brasilense LPS. 相似文献

A comparative immunochemical analysis of lipopolysaccharides (LPS) in Azospirillum brasilense model strains Sp7 and Sp245 and in mutants with altered somatic antigens has been performed. According to the results of a complex of various immunochemical methods, including studies with polyclonal antibodies against the LPS these bacteria, their LPS consist of an assembly of macromolecules with different antigenic characteristics. Two types of O-specific polysaccharides (O-PS) are present in the LPS of every strain of A. brasilense under study. The major difference between the two O-PS is the antigenic heterogeneity of one of them. This heterogeneous O-PS has been shown to possess at least two O-factors (antigenic determinants) different in their structure. Meanwhile, according to all the tests performed, the other O-PS in every strain is immunochemically homogeneous and identical to one of the determinants revealed in the more diversified O-PS. The LPS heterogeneity among the given strains may be due to the pattern of O-specific polysaccharide synthesis, one of the O-PS being an intermediate in the synthesis of the other. 相似文献

Lectins from the surface of Azospirillum brasilense Sp7 and Azospirillum brasilense Sp7.2.3 (a mutant with impaired lectin activity) were shown to induce a stabilizing effect on the activity of almond β-glucosidase under conditions of thermoinactivation and proteolytic enzyme treatment. Differences were revealed in the influence of lectins with various antigenic properties. Our results indicate that the effects of lectins on the catalytic activity of the enzyme are mainly associated with conformational changes in lectin molecules during mutagenesis, but not with carbohydrate specificity (general property). These data should be taken into account in evaluating the role of lectins in the formation of nitrogen-fixing associations. 相似文献

The thickness and antigenic properties of biofilms produced by Azospirillum brasilense Sp245 and its mutants deficient in the synthesis of lipopolysaccharides (Lps) and calcofluor-binding polysaccharides (CBPS) at the interface between water and hydrophilic or hydrophobic solid surfaces were compared. The mutants deficient in acidic LpsI synthesis produce thicker biofilms on hydrophilic surfaces. Biofilms produced on hydrophobic surfaces by bacteria that are unable to synthesize CBPS are less pronounced. Defects in CBPS production in Azospirillum mutants with impaired flagellar motility can cause adverse effects on the cell ability to attach to hydrophobic and hydrophilic surfaces. The loss of the neutral LpsII antigen by the mutants capable of producing CBPS does not affect their behavior on hydrophobic surfaces, which is probably due to the compensatory increase in the total polysaccharide production. The fundamental change in the Lps structure correlates with the activation of biofilm formation by the relevant mutants on hydrophilic and hydrophobic surfaces. 相似文献

Maize colonization by the phytopathogenic fungi Fusarium verticillioides leads to economical and food quality losses and also implicates potential health risks. In order to control this fungal species different strategies are being considered. In the present work we investigated the in situ effects of the use of two in vitro proven bacterial biological control agents against Fusarium verticillioides, using maize seedlings grown in greenhouse conditions. The treatment of maize seeds with Fusarium verticillioides 107 spores ml?1 negatively affected the length of the stem and the weight of the root systems of resultant seedlings, and also reduced the numbers of non-rhizospheric organisms with ammonification and nitrification activities. The addition of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens or Microbacterium oleovorans, at a concentration of 109 colony forming units ml?1, to the seeds significantly reduced Fusarium verticillioides count at the root inner tissues of resultant seedlings. When testing the impact of bacterial treatments on soil populations, no alterations with respect to control numbers of organisms with nitrification, ammonification or cellulolytic potentials were observed. Culturable bacterial richness and diversity calculated at the rhizoplane and root inner tissues of maize seedlings neither changed in bacterized treatments when compared to control treatment. Our study showed that the Fusarium verticillioides in vitro proven antagonists, Bacillus amyloliquefaciens and Microbacterium oleovorans (at 109 colony forming units ml?1), were also effective at greenhouse conditions without causing major changes in culturable rhizospheric and endophytic microbial richness and diversity. 相似文献
