A rapid molecular approach was developed for the initial identification of Lactobacillus acidophilus strains which are difficult to identify using a single biochemical test. The 16S–23S rRNA intergenic spacer regions and flanking 23S rRNA genes of 19 strains of lactobacilli were amplified and the nucleotide sequences and restriction site polymorphisms were analyzed. AluI was the most useful of the restriction enzymes analyzed and produced reproducible digestion profiles in the L. helveticus, L. plantarum, and L. casei groups, as well as in L. acidophilus. This restriction fragment length polymorphism method may be useful for the identification of L. acidophilus strains in dairy products. 相似文献

A comparative molecular genetic study of 37 Kluyveromyces strains of different origin has made it possible to find molecular markers that can differentiate between the dairy yeast Kluyveromyces lactis var. lactis and the genetically close wild Kl. lactis strains from the European “krassilnikovii” population, which are unable to ferment lactose. A restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis of the IGS2 rDNA region reveals two different AluI profiles, one of which corresponds to Kl. lactis var. lactis while the other corresponds to yeasts from the “krassilnikovii” population. The AluI restriction profile of the IGS2 region of the rDNA also makes it possible to differentiate between the physiologically similar species Kl. marxianus and Kl. lactis. The origin of clinical Kl. lactis var. lactis isolates is discussed.__________Translated from Mikrobiologiya, Vol. 74, No. 3, 2005, pp. 387–393.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2005 by Naumova, Sukhotina, Naumov. 相似文献

The purpose of this work was to compare mitochondrial DNA restriction endonuclease patterns in strains of the yeast Kluyveromyces lactis, from different sources, to see how conserved is the organization of this organellar genome. The mitochondrial DNA of five independently-isolated strains and one of unknown origin were compared. Strains NRRL Y-1205, NRRL Y-8279 and NRRL Y-1140 gave identical patterns. Strain NRRL Y-1564 showed an insertion, with respect to the other three, of approximately 1250 bp. Strain W600B had also an insertion with extra restriction sites for EcoRI, HpaI, HaeIII, HincII and XbaI. On the other hand, strain Y-123 showed a restriction pattern quite different from the others.Sequences putatively encoding apocytochrome b, ATPase subunit 9 and ribosomal RNA large subunit, were localized on the physical maps of three strains. Results demonstrated that the order of these three genes shows a common feature in strains W600B and WM37 (auxotroph of Y-1140) but a different distribution in WM27 (auxotroph derived from Y-123). All these facts explain the extensive intraspecific polymorphism observed in the mtDNA of this yeast. 相似文献

Five fresh soil Streptomyces spp. strains were isolated, phylogenetically characterized on the basis of 16S rDNA sequences and analyzed for the presence
of restriction modification systems. Three type II site-specific endonucleases were detected and partially purified. Two isolated
enzymes were isoschizomers of SacI restriction endonuclease recognizing 5′-GAGCTC-3′ sequence; the third one recognised 5′-CCGCGG-3′
sequence and it was an isoschizomer of SacII. SacII like modification was observed in other two isolates having no detectable
restriction activity. The lack of correlation between restriction and modification phenotypes and phylogenetic classification
of the isolates indicates efficient gene transfer mechanism in the Streptomyces genus. 相似文献

Four unique restriction enzymes were identified in the soluble protein fraction of Spirulina platensis strain pacifica, a commercially important strain of marine cyanobacterium that is used as a supplement in a human diets. These are SpaI, SpaII, SpaIII and SpaIV, which are isoschizomers of Tth111I, Pvul, PvuII and HindIII, respectively. The recognition sites of each of these four enzymes were identified by restriction digests of different plasmid DNAs of known sequence and determining the cleavage sites by sequencing. SpaI is the most predominant restriction enzyme present in S. platensis strain pacifica. It shows high activity at 37 °C compared to 65 °C for its isoschizomer Tth111I.Department of Plant Molecular Physiology 相似文献

In situ digestion of metaphase and polytene chromosomes and of interphase nuclei in different cell types ofDrosophila nasuta with restriction enzymes revealed that enzymes like AluI, EcoRI, HaeIII, Sau3a and SinI did not affect Giemsa-stainability
of heterochromatin while that of euchromatin was significantly reduced; TaqI and SalI digested both heterochromatin and euchromatin
in mitotic chromosomes. Digestion of genomic DNA with AluI, EcoRI, HaeIII, Sau3a and KpnI left a 23 kb DNA band undigested
in agarose gels while withTaqI, no such undigested band was seen. TheAluI resistant 23 kb DNA hybridized insitu specifically with the heterochromatic chromocentre. It appears that the digestibility of heterochromatin region in genome
ofDrosophila nasuta with the tested restriction enzymes is dependent on the availability of their recognition sites. 相似文献

Summary In an extensive host range study ofM. hyorhinis mink lung cells (MvlLu, ATCC CCL 64) were found to be the cells of choice for the propagation of this mycoplasm, which otherwise
is often difficult to grow in a cell-free medium. Furthermore, rapid plaque assay and plaque purification procedures were
developed forM. hyorhinis. The titer ofM. hyorhinis grew to 1×107 to 1×108 pfu/ml within three d postinoculation on mink lung cells. DNA restriction enzyme analysis of the genome ofM. hyorhinis was performed. Endonucleases Bst EII and Xho I are the most suitable enzymes for cleavingM. hyorhinis DNA into distinct fragment patterns. Thus, the use of the combination mink lung cells for mycoplasma growth with subsequent
restriction enzyme analysis leads to an unamibiguous detection and identification toM. hyorhinis strains even in minute amounts. 相似文献

The nucleotide sequence was established for the full-length Flavobacterium aquatile operon coding for the FauI restriction–modification system. The operon is unusual in structure and has the gene order control protein / DNA methyltransferase A / restriction endonuclease / DNA methyltransferase B, other than in the known analogs; the genes are similarly oriented and overlap. On evidence of sequence analysis, both methyltransferases are C5 enzymes, the control protein is similar to that of other restriction–modification systems, and the restriction endonuclease shows low similarity to other enzymes cleaving the DNA upper strand in position 4 or 5 relative to the recognition site. 相似文献

Summary Plastid DNA of seven American and four Australian species of the genus Nicotiana was examined by restriction endonuclease analysis using the enzymes Sal I, Bgl I, Pst I, Kpn I, Xho I, Pvu II and Eco RI. These endonucleases collectively distinguish more than 120 sites on N. tabacum plastid DNA. The DNAs of all ten species exhibited restriction patterns distinguishable from those of N. tabacum for at least one of the enzymes used. All distinctive sites were physically mapped taking advantage of the restriction cleavage site map available for plastid DNA from Nicotiana tabacum (Seyer et al. 1981). This map was extended for the restriction endonucleases Pst I and Kpn I. In spite of variation in detail, the overall fragment order was found to be the same for plastid DNA from the eleven Nicotiana species. Most of the DNA changes resulted from small insertions/deletions and, possibly, inversions. They are located within seven regions scattered along the plastid chromosome. The divergence pattern of the Nicotiana plastid chromosomes was strikingly similar to that found in the genus Oenothera subsection Euoenothera (Gordon et al. 1982). The possible role of replication as a factor in the evolution of divergence patterns is discussed. The restriction patterns of plastid DNA from species within a continent resembled each other with one exception in each instance. The American species N. repanda showed patterns similar to those of most Australian species, and those of the Australian species N. debneyi resembled those of most American species.Abbreviations ims

Calorie restriction is a dietary regimen capable of extending life span in a variety of multicellular organisms. A yeast model
of calorie restriction has been developed in which limiting the concentration of glucose in the growth media of Saccharomyces cerevisiae leads to enhanced replicative and chronological longevity. Since S. cerevisiae are Crabtree-positive cells that present repression of aerobic catabolism when grown in high glucose concentrations, we investigated
if this phenomenon participates in life span regulation in yeast. S. cerevisiae only exhibited an increase in chronological life span when incubated in limited concentrations of glucose. Limitation of
galactose, raffinose or glycerol plus ethanol as substrates did not enhance life span. Furthermore, in Kluyveromyces lactis, a Crabtree-negative yeast, glucose limitation did not promote an enhancement of respiratory capacity nor a decrease in reactive
oxygen species formation, as is characteristic of conditions of caloric restriction in S. cerevisiae. In addition, K. lactis did not present an increase in longevity when incubated in lower glucose concentrations. Altogether, our results indicate
that release from repression of aerobic catabolism is essential for the beneficial effects of glucose limitation in the yeast
calorie restriction model. Potential parallels between these changes in yeast and hormonal regulation of respiratory rates
in animals are discussed.

Genomic organization of lactic acid bacteria 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5

Current knowledge of the genomes of the lactic acid bacteria, Lactococcus lactis and Streptococcus thermophilus, and members of the genera Lactobacillus, Leuconostoc, Pediococcus and Carnobacterium is reviewed. The genomes contain a chromosome within the size range of 1.8 to 3.4 Mbp. Plasmids are common in Lactococcus lactis (most strains carry 4–7 different plasmids), some of the lactobacilli and pediococci, but they are not frequently present in S. thermophilus, Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus or the intestinal lactobacilli. Five IS elements have been found in L. lactis and most strains carry multiple copies of at least two of them; some strains also carry a 68-kbp conjugative transposon. IS elements have been found in the genera Lactobacillus and Leuconostoc, but not in S. thermophilus. Prophages are also a normal component of the L. lactis genome and lysogeny is common in the lactobacilli, however it appears to be rare in S. thermophilus. Physical and genetic maps for two L. lactis subsp. lactis strains, two L. lactis subsp. cremoris strains and S. thermophilus A054 have been constructed and each reveals the presence of six rrn operons clustered in less than 40% of the chromosome. The L. lactis subsp. cremoris MG1363 map contains 115 genetic loci and the S. thermophilus map has 35. The maps indicate significant plasticity in the L. lactis subsp. cremoris chromosome in the form of a number of inversions and translocations. The cause(s) of these rearrangements is (are) not known. A number of potentially powerful genetic tools designed to analyse the L. lactis genome have been constructed in recent years. These tools enable gene inactivation, gene replacement and gene recovery experiments to be readily carried out with this organism, and potentially with other lactic acid bacteria and Gram-positive bacteria. Integration vectors based on temperate phage attB sites and the random insertion of IS elements have also been developed for L. lactis and the intestinal lactobacilli. In addition, a L. lactis sex factor that mobilizes the chromosome in a manner reminiscent to that seen with Escherichia coli Hfr strains has been discovered and characterized. With the availability of this new technology, research into the genome of the lactic acid bacteria is poised to undertake a period of extremely rapid information accrual. 相似文献

Restriction site and length variations of nrDNA were examined for 51 populations of seven species ofKrigia. The nrDNA repeat ranged in size from 8.7 to 9.6 kilobase (kb). The transcribed region, including the two ITSs, was 5.35 kb long in all examinedKrigia populations. In contrast, the size of the nontranscribed IGS varied from 3.35 to 4.25 kb. Eight different types of length-variations were identified among the 51 populations, including distinct nrDNA lengths in the tetraploid and diploid populations of bothK. biflora andK. virginica. However, a few variations were detected among populations of the same species or within a cytotype. All populations ofKrigia sect.Cymbia share a 600 bp insertion in IGS near the 18 S gene, and this feature suggests monophyly of the section. AllKrigia spp. had a conjugated type of subrepeat composed of approximately 75 basepairs (bp) and 125 bp. Base modifications in the gene coding regions were highly conserved among species. Forty-five restriction sites from 15 enzymes were mapped, 24 of which were variable among populations. Only four of the variable sites occurred in the rRNA coding region while 20 variable sites were detected in the noncoding regions. Collectively, 25 enzymes generated about 66 restriction sites in each nrDNA; this amounts to about 4.3% of the nrDNA repeat. A total of 50 restriction sites was variable, 28 of which were phylogenetically informative. Phylogenetic analyses of site mutations indicated that two sections ofKrigia, sect.Cymbia and sect.Krigia, are monophyletic. In addition, relationships among several species were congruent with other sources of data, such as cpDNA restriction site variation and morphology. Both length and restriction site variation supported an allopolyploid origin of the hexaploidK. montana. The average sequence divergence value inKrigia nrDNA was 40 times greater than that of the chloroplast DNA. The rapid evolution of nrDNA sequences was primarily due to changes of the IGS sequences. 相似文献

Cell-wall protein profiles of different strains of Lactobacillus helveticus and L. delbrueckii subsp. lactis isolated from regional cheeses were studied by SDS-PAGE. The patterns were highly reproducible and the presence of numerous bands with molecular weight ranging from 14 to 160 kDa allowed L. delbrueckii subsp. lactis to be differentiated from L. helveticus. The method is a reliable and rapid way to identify thermophilic lactobacilli. 相似文献

Polymerase chain reaction–restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) analysis of the nuclear ribosomal ITS-1 region was used to differentiate Muscidifurax (Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae) species which are parasitoids of filth fly pupae. Three restriction enzymes, Dpn II, Mse I, and Taq I, produced restriction patterns which were diagnostic for the four species analyzed, M. raptor, M. raptorellus, M. uniraptor, and M. zaraptor. Seven other restriction enzymes were able to differentiate one or more of the species and can be used alone, or in combination with other enzymes, to verify identifications. No intraspecific variation was observed among the populations examined. The utility of the PCR-RFLP technique compared with other molecular and biochemical diagnostic procedures is discussed. 相似文献

Methods are presented to extract and purify mitochondrial DNA from the rotifer Brachionus plicatilis. The mtDNA obtained is of sufficient purity for digestion with restriction endonucleases. EcoR I restriction patterns are presented for 4 geographically separated clones. A restriction map based on digestion with 5 different restriction enzymes is included for one of these clones. Finally, use of mtDNA analysis for studies on the population structure and biogeography of rotifers is discussed. 相似文献

Twenty-four species belonging to the genusPichia were investigated using restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) and Southern blot hybridization of their genomic DNA.Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Kluyveromyces lactis, Williopsis mrakii andCandida albicans were also included in this study. The RFLP patterns were obtained from digestion of yeast DNA with several restriction endonuclease enzymes, and showed various bands with different mobility; in most isolates, the more deeply stained bands were species-specific. This observation was confirmed by the results obtained from Southern blot hybridization of theEcoRI andXhoI RFLP patterns withP. anomala UCSC 25F DNA, digested with the same enzymes, used as probes. These bands are likely to be ribosomal DNA as shown by hybridization of digested DNA from unrelated yeast species (S. cerevisiae, K. lactis andC. albicans). However, one hybridized band, located at 3.9–4.1 Kb, seems to be peculiar to thePichia species. Our study confirms the usefulness of molecular tools in studying genetic relatedness among yeasts. 相似文献

The variability in chloroplast DNA type of 20Rubus genotypes was examined by Southern hybridization. DNA extracted from theRubus accessions was digested with two restriction enzymes (EcoRI and EcoRV) and heterologous chloroplast DNA sequences from barley and pea were used as probes to detectRubus chloroplast DNA sequences on Southern blots ofRubus total DNA. Restriction fragment length polymorphism was detected and a total of 92 restriction fragments were generated by the probe/enzyme combinations examined. Cladistic principles based on the parsimony assumption were used to assemble a phylogenetic tree based on chloroplast restriction fragment length data. The phylogenetic tree grouped the taxonomically defined species and is in general agreement with information based on morphological criteria. However, the Japanese red raspberryR. illecebrosus was shown to have diverged considerably in terms of evolutionary time from other species in subg.Idaeobatus. Furthermore, the molecular approach provides a quantitative estimate of the relationship between species that is difficult to obtain from morphological data. In order to complement the chloroplast DNA information a ribosomal DNA probe was also included in the analysis and provided further information on the phylogenetic relationships withinRubus. 相似文献

With the ever-decreasing domestic fishery catch of Japanese mackerel Scomber japonicus, alternative Atlantic mackerel Scomber scombrus has been increasingly imported and currently accounts for approximately 34% of mackerel consumption in Japan. As there is
no morphologic difference between the species after removal of their skin, not only fresh and frozen fillets but also processed
seafood of S. scombrus are frequently marketed with mislabeling as S. japonicus. In this study, a rapid and reliable polymerase chain reaction–restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) analysis
was developed to discriminate imported mackerel S. scombrus and domestic mackerel S. japonicus. PCR amplification for the nuclear 5S ribosomal DNA nontranscribed spacer was performed using Scomber-specific primers. Direct digestions of the PCR products using either PvuII or HaeIII restriction enzymes generated species-specific profiles, indicating that both enzymes enable the accurate identification
of S. scombrus and S. japonicus. This robust and reproducible method can serve as molecular-based routine food inspection program to enforce labeling regulations. 相似文献

Summary The activity of the EcoK DNA restriction system of Escherichia coli reduces both the plating efficiency of unmodified phage and the transforming ability of unmodified pBR322 plasmid DNA. However, restriction can be alleviated in wild-type cells, by UV irradiation and expression of the SOS response, so that 103-to 104-fold increases in phage growth and fourfold increases in plasmid transformation occurred with unmodified DNA. Restriction alleviation was found to be a transient effect because induced cells, which initially failed to restrict unmodified plasmid DNA, later restricted unmodified phage . Although the SOS response was needed for restriction alleviation, constitutive SOS induction, elicited genetically with a recA730 mutation, did not alleviate restriction and UV irradiation was still needed. A hitherto unsuspected involvement of the umuDC operon in this alleviation of restriction is characterized and, by differential complementation, was separated from the better known role of umuDC in mutagenic DNA repair. The need for cleavage of UmuD for restriction alleviation was shown with plasmids encoding cleavable, cleaved, and non-cleavable forms of UmuD. However, UV irradiation was still needed even when cleaved UmuD was provided. The possibility that restriction alleviation occurs by a general inhibition of the EcoK restriction/modification complex was tested and discounted because modification of was not reduced by UV irradiation. An alternative idea, that restriction activity was competitively reduced by an increase in EcoK modification, was also discounted by the lack of any increase in the modification of Ral–, a naturally undermodified phage. Other possible mechanisms for restriction alleviation are discussed. 相似文献
