A method has been worked out that allows the detection and isolation of bacteria fermenting molecular hydrogen and carbon dioxide to acetic acid.The ratio of methanogenic to acetogenic bacteria in sludge and lake sediment samples has been found to be approximately 100 to 1. Acetogenic bacteria could not be detected in rumen samples. 相似文献

Reef-building corals are comprised of close associations between the coral animal, symbiotic zooxanthellae, and a diversity of associated microbes (including Bacteria, Archaea and Fungi). Together, these comprise the coral holobiont – a paradigm that emphasizes the potential contributions of each component to the overall function and health of the coral. Little is known about the ecology of the coral-associated microbial community and its hypothesized role in coral health. We explored bacteria–bacteria antagonism among 67 bacterial isolates from the scleractinian coral Montastrea annularis at two temperatures using Burkholder agar diffusion assays. A majority of isolates exhibited inhibitory activity (69.6% of isolates at 25°C, 52.2% at 31°C), with members of the γ-proteobacteria ( Vibrionales and Alteromonadales ) being especially antagonistic. Elevated temperatures generally reduced levels of antagonism, although the effects were complex. Several potential pathogens were observed in the microbial community of apparently healthy corals, and 11.6% of isolates were able to inhibit the growth of the coral pathogen Vibrio shiloi at 25°C. Overall, this study demonstrates that antagonism could be a structuring force in coral-associated microbial communities and may contribute to pathogenesis as well as disease resistance. 相似文献

Sessile growth of anaerobic bacteria from the human intestinal tract has been poorly investigated, so far. We recently reported data on the close association existing between biliary stent clogging and polymicrobial biofilm development in its lumen. By exploiting the explanted stents as a rich source of anaerobic bacterial strains belonging to the genera Bacteroides, Clostridium, Fusobacterium, Finegoldia, Prevotella, and Veillonella, the present study focused on their ability to adhere, to grow in sessile mode and to form in vitro mono- or dual-species biofilms. Experiments on dual-species biofilm formation were planned on the basis of the anaerobic strains isolated from each clogged biliary stent, by selecting those in which a couple of anaerobic strains belonging to different species contributed to the polymicrobial biofilm development. Then, strains were investigated by field emission scanning electron microscopy and confocal laser scanning microscopy to reveal if they are able to grow as mono- and/or dual-species biofilms. As far as we know, this is the first report on the ability to adhere and form mono/dual-species biofilms exhibited by strains belonging to the species Bacteroides oralis, Clostridium difficile, Clostridium baratii, Clostridium fallax, Clostridium bifermentans, Finegoldia magna, and Fusobacterium necrophorum. 相似文献

Abstract C1 -metabolizing bacteria were analyzed for their corrinoids. The autotrophic phototrophe Chloroflexus aurantiacus contains predominantly the light-sensitive coenzyme B12 . The corrinoid could be teh prostethic group of a methylmalonyl-CoA mutase, which is involved in the CO2 fixing reaction sequence from proplonyl-CoA to succinyl CoA. Methanobacterium thermoautotrophicum and Sporomusa ovata contain only traces of light-sensitive corrinoids, indicating that the demethylation reaction is favored, if these corrinoids are involved in methyl transfer reactions. The chemical structure of the unique p -cresolyl cobamide is specific for the acetogenic bacterium S. ovata , rather than the corrinoid 'factor III' for methanogenic bacteria. 相似文献

Summary A new chromogenic anaerobe, Clostridium roseum nov. spec., has been found. It is characterized by: red-orange pigment, turning purplish on oxidation; gelatin liquefaction and other evidence of proteolysis; nitrate reduction; fermentation of various carbohydrates including pectin; close resemblance to Cl. acetobutylicum in corn mash fermentation, with the same neutral products, acetone, ethyl alcohol and butyl alcohol, in nearly the same ratios; agglutinative specificity and separation from Cl. acetobutylicum and Cl. felsineum, as well as several less nearly physiologically related butyric anaerobes. 相似文献

In hypersaline environments bacteria are exposed to a high osmotic pressure caused by the surrounding high salt concentrations. Halophilic microorganisms have specific strategies for balancing the osmotic pressure and surviving in these extreme conditions. Halophilic fermentative bacteria form taxonomically and phylogenetically a coherent group mainly belonging to the order Halanaerobiales. In this review, halophilic anaerobic fermentative bacteria in terms of taxonomy and phylogeny, special characteristics, survival strategies, and potential for biotechnological applications in a wide variety of branches, such as production of hydrogen, are discussed. 相似文献

Since their discovery in 1915, bacteriophages have been routinely used within Eastern Europe to treat a variety of bacterial infections. Although initially ignored by the West due to the success of antibiotics, increasing levels and diversity of antibiotic resistance is driving a renaissance for bacteriophage‐derived therapy, which is in part due to the highly specific nature of bacteriophages as well as their relative abundance. This review focuses on the bacteriophages and derived lysins of relevant Gram‐positive spore formers within the Bacillus cereus group and Clostridium genus that could have applications within the medical, food and environmental sectors. 相似文献

Antagonistic interactions among marine pelagic bacteria. 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Recent studies suggest that bacterial abundance and species diversity in the ocean's water column are variable at the millimeter scale, apparently in response to the small-scale heterogeneity in the distribution of organic matter. We hypothesized that bacterium-bacterium antagonistic interactions may contribute to variations in community structure at the microscale. We examined each of the 86 isolates for their inhibition of growth of the remaining 85 isolates by the Burkholder agar diffusion assay. More than one-half of the isolates expressed antagonistic activity, and this trait was more common with particle-associated bacteria than with free-living bacteria. This was exemplified by members of the alpha subclass of the class Proteobacteria (alpha-proteobacteria), in which production of antagonistic molecules was dominated by attached bacteria. We found that gamma-proteobacteria (members of the orders Alteromonadales and Vibrionales) are the most prolific producers of inhibitory materials and also the most resilient to them, while members of the Bacteriodetes were the organisms that were least productive and most sensitive to antagonistic interactions. Widespread interspecies growth inhibition is consistent with the role of this phenomenon in structuring bacterial communities at the microscale. Furthermore, our results suggest that bacteria from pelagic marine particles may be an underutilized source of novel antibiotics. 相似文献

The spores of six strains of Bacillus megaterium were divided into two distinct groups on the basis of germination. Three of the strains germinated in a mixture of l-alanine and inosine (AL type spores), and three strains germinated in a mixture of glucose and potassium nitrate (GN type spores); recriprocal germination in the respective solutions did not occur. The AL spores and the GN spores were morphologically distinct. Other differences between the two spore groups included germination inhibition characteristics, dipicolinic acid content, hexosamine content, phosphorus and magnesium content, spore coat features, ion exchange properties, and heat resistance. A correlation appears to exist between spore morphology and certain other spore properties in strains of B. megaterium. 相似文献

Abstract In amino acid fermenting anaerobic bacteria a set of unusual dehydratases is found which use 2-hydroxyacyl-CoA, 4-hydroxybutyryl-CoA or 5-hydroxyvaleryl-CoA as substrates. The extremely oxygen-sensitive 2-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydratases catalysing the elimination of water from ( R )-lactyl-CoA to acryloyl-CoA or from ( R )-2-hydroxyglutaryl-CoA to glutaconyl-CoA contain iron-sulfur clusters as well as riboflavin and require additional activation by ATP. The dehydration of 4-hydroxybutyryl-CoA to crotonyl-CoA is catalysed by a moderately oxygen-sensitive enzyme also containing an iron-sulfur cluster and FAD. In all these reactions a non-activated C-H-bond at C3 has to be cleaved by mechanisms not yet elucidated. The dehydration of 5-hydroxyvaleryl-CoA to 4-pentenoyl-CoA, however, has been characterised as a redox process mediated by enzyme-bound FAD. Finally, an iron-sulfur cluster-containing but pyridoxal-phosphate-independent l -serine dehydratase is described. 相似文献

Citrate metabolism in anaerobic bacteria 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
Abstract The regulation of anaerobic citrate metabolism is very diverse among different groups of bacteria. In organisms like Streptococcus lactis and Clostridium sporosphaeroides which lack citrate synthase, the activity of its antagonistic enzyme, citrate lyase, need not be regulated. Many anaerobes like Rhodocyclus gelatinosus and Clostridium sphenoides are able to synthesize their own l -glutamate and contain citrate synthase. In these bacteria the activity of citrate metabolizing enzymes which are involved in a cascade system are under strict control. In Rc. gelatinosus activation/inactivation of citrate lyase is controlled by acetylation/deacetylation which is catalyzed by its corresponding regulatory enzymes, citrate lyase ligase and citrate lyase deacetylase. In C. sphenoides inactivation of citrate lyase is accomplished by deacetylation as well as by changing in the enzyme conformation. Activation of citrate lyase is catalyzed by citrate lyase ligase whose activity in addition is modulated by phosphorylation/dephosphorylation. Further, electron transport process also seems to play a role in the inactivation of citrate metabolizing enzymes in enteric bacteria. 相似文献
