Pseudomonas stutzeri and related species undergo natural transformation

Cells of Pseudomonas stutzeri are naturally transformed by homologous chromosomal DNA; they do not require chemical treatment to become competent. This capacity to undergo natural transformation was found to be shared by the closely related species P. mendocina, P. alcaligenes, and P. pseudoalcaligenes, but was not detectable in strains of P. aeruginosa, P. perfectomarinus, P. putida, P. fluorescens, or P. syringae. P. stutzeri could be transformed either on plates or in liquid medium. Only double-stranded chromosomal DNA was effective; single-stranded DNA and plasmid DNA were not. DNA fragments larger than 10 kilobase pairs were more effective than smaller fragments. The transformation frequency was proportional to DNA concentration from 1 ng/ml to 1 microgram/ml; higher concentrations were saturating. The maximum frequency, about 10(-4) transformants per recipient cell, was obtained with cells from a culture in the early stationary growth phase. A variety of chromosomal mutations have been transformed, including mutations to auxotrophy and to antibiotic resistance. Other systems for genetic exchange in P. stutzeri have not yet been found; transformation offers a means for the genetic analysis of this metabolically versatile organism.     

Intramolecular recombination during plasmid transformation of Bacillus subtilis competent cells.

We have constructed plasmids carrying direct internal repeats 260-2000 bp long. Monomers of such plasmids transformed Bacillus subtilis competent cells. The efficiency of transformation varied with the square of the length of repeats. The transformed clones harbored either the entire transforming plasmid and the plasmid arising by recombination between the repeats, or only the latter plasmid. Internally-repeated plasmids linearized by in vitro cleavage with restriction endonuclease could transform, yielding clones which exclusively harbored a plasmid resulting from recombination between the repeats. When the transforming plasmid carried repeats which differed slightly, conversion of one repeat into the other could occur. The following model of plasmid transformation accounts for these data: (1) plasmid DNA is cleaved and rendered linear in contact with competent cells; (2) a linear, at least partially double-stranded plasmid molecule is introduced or formed by repair within the cell; (3) a circular viable plasmid is produced by recombination between repeats carried on this molecule; (4) alternatively, a viable plasmid is produced by repairing the cut within one of the repeats by DNA synthesis which uses the other repeat as a template.     

Features of transformation of competent cells and Bacillus subtilis protoplasts by integrative vectors

The effect of structural peculiarities of DNAs from integrative plasmids on the transformation activity was studied. Monomeric forms of the plasmids can only transform B. subtilis competent cells, when plasmid selective marker is inserted into chromosomal fragment within the plasmid. Polymeric forms are needed for efficient transformation. Both single- and double-stranded DNAs of integrative plasmids transform no B.subtilis protoplasts, this being irrespective of plasmid structure.     

Transformations of six isomers of dimethylbenzothiophene by three Pseudomonas strains

Dimethylbenzothiophenes are among the sulfur heterocycles in petroleum that are known to be degraded by microbial activity. Six of the 15 possible isomers of dimethylbenzothiophene were synthesized and used in biotransformation studies with three Pseudomonas isolates that oxidize a variety of condensed thiophenes including methylbenzothiophenes and methyldibenzothiophenes. The isomers of dimethylbenzothiophene were chosen to have a variety of substitution patterns: both methyl groups on the thiophene ring (the 2,3- isomer); a methyl group on each of the rings (the 2,7-, 3,5- and 3,7-isomers); and both methyl groups on the benzene ring (the 4,6- and 4,7- isomers). Each isolate was grown on 1-methylnaphthalene or glucose in the presence of one of the dimethylbenzothiophenes and culture extracts were analyzed to identify nearly 30 sulfur-containing metabolites in total. Sulfoxides and sulfones were commonly found metabolites in culture extracts from the 2,3-, 2,7- and 3,7-isomers, whereas 2,3-diones, 3(2H)-ones and 2(3H)-ones were formed from the 4,6- and 4,7-isomers. High-molecular-weight products, some of which were tentatively identified as tetramethylbenzo[b]naphtho[1,2-d]thiophenes, were detected in the extracts of cultures incubated with 4,6- or 4,7-dimethylbenzothiophene. The methyl groups of all of the isomers, except 4,6-, were oxidized to give hydroxymethyl-methylbenzothiophenes and methylbenzothiophene-carboxylic acids, and these were the only products detected from the oxidation of 3,5-dimethylbenzothiophene.

Antimicrobial activity among Pseudomonas and related strains of mineral water origin

Siderophore production in 382 Pseudomonas and related strains of mineral water origin were screened and the antimicrobial activities of 158 of these tested against nine target organisms of health significance. Presence of siderophores could be detected in 54·4% and the majority of strains tested (91·2%) inhibited at least one of the nine target strains. Staphylococcus, Escherichia coli and Aeromonas hydrophila were particularly sensitive. Addition of iron eliminated the inhibitory activity in 96·7% of cases ; the antagonistic effect should be largely determined by siderophore-mediated competition for iron. Most of the inhibitory strains produced siderophores, whereas the non-inhibitory strains did not. Few strains also produced bacteriocins showing activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Aer. hydrophila. Strains isolated from mineral water have a broad antibacterial potential.
