由东北大田采集的土样中筛选到菌株D 97,该菌株胞内酶可以利用淀粉或麦芽寡糖合成海藻糖。通过生理、形态、结构特征分析及 1 6SrDNA基因全序列与参比菌株的序列比较 ,菌株D 97与食尼古丁节杆菌的 1 6SrDNA序列同源性高达 97 98% ,故将该菌株命名为食尼古丁节杆菌D 97(ArthrobacternicotinovorusD 97)。我们还将D 97菌株与日本林原公司的海藻糖生产菌———节杆菌Q36的有关生理生化特征进行了比较。     

海藻糖降解酶抑制因子的研究

研究了一系列因素对食尼古丁节杆菌D-97胞内海藻糖降解酵的抑制作用,发现有效霉素(井冈霉素)和乙酸能有效抑制海藻糖降解酶的活性,抑制率最大分别达到87．13％和85．16％．同时研究了它们对海藻糖转化率的影响,发现有效霉素能提高海藻糖转化率,最大增幅达17．44％,而乙酸却降低了转化率。     

海藻糖生产菌株筛选过程中产物鉴定的研究

在海藻糖生产菌的筛选过程中,微生物胞内酶转化淀粉生成的产物复杂,将产物逐一纯化是非常烦琐的,但又必须确证产物中是否含有海藻糖。本文将薄层层析、高效液相电喷雾电离质谱联用及核磁共振等分析手段综合应用于海藻糖生产菌株的筛选,在酶反应产物不必被纯化的前提下,准确、快捷地鉴定了酶反应产物中的未知糖组分,最终证明食尼古丁节杆菌（Arthrobacter nicotinovorus）D97利用淀粉或麦芽寡糖的酶反应产物中含有海藻糖。该方法在筛选海藻糖及其它功能性葡二糖生产菌株时较为严密。

Anaerospora hongkongensis gen. nov. sp. nov., a novel genus and species with ribosomal DNA operon heterogeneity isolated from an intravenous drug abuser with pseudobacteremia

A bacterium was isolated from the blood culture of an intravenous drug abuser with pseudobacteremia. The cells were strictly anaerobic, straight or slightly curved, sporulating, Gram-negative rods. It grew on sheep blood agar as non-hemolytic, pinpoint colonies after 48 hr of incubation at 37 C in an anaerobic environment. It was motile but did not produce catalase or cytochrome oxidase. 16S ribosomal DNA (rDNA) sequencing revealed three different copies of 16S rDNA sequences. More than 90% of the differences among them were due to differences in the lengths of the sequences. Phylogenetically, the bacterium is clustered with Dendrosporobacter, Sporomusa, and Propionispora, the other three genera of anaerobic, sporulating, Gram-negative rods. There were 8.6-11.1% differences between the 16S rDNA sequences of the bacterium and that of D. quercicolus, 4.7-15.1% differences between the 16S rDNA sequences of it and those of S. acidovorans, S. aerivorans, S. malonica, S. ovata, S. paucivorans, S. silvacetica, S. spaeroides, and S. termitida, and 7.6-13.1% differences between the 16S rDNA sequences of it and those of P. hippei and P. vibrioides. The G+C content of the bacterium (mean +/- SD) was 46.8 +/- 3.2%. For these reasons, a new genus and species, Anaerospora hongkongensis gen. nov. sp. nov., is proposed, for which HKU15T is the type strain.

Isolation and characterization of an atrazine-degrading bacterium from industrial wastewater in China

AIMS: To isolate and characterize atrazine-degrading bacteria in order to identify suitable candidates for potential use in bioremediation of atrazine contamination. METHODS AND RESULTS: A high efficiency atrazine-degrading bacterium, strain AD1, which was capable of utilizing atrazine as a sole nitrogen source for growth, was isolated from industrial wastewater. 16S rDNA sequencing identified AD1 as an Arthrobacter sp. The atrazine chlorohydrolase gene (atzA) isolated from strain AD1 differed from that found in the Pseudomonas sp. ADP by only one nucleotide. However, it was found located on the bacterial chromosome rather than on plasmids as previously reported for other bacteria. CONCLUSIONS: Atrazine chlorohydrolase gene, atzA, either encoded by chromosome or plasmid, is highly conserved. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: Comparison analysis of atrazine degradation gene structure and arrangement in this and other bacteria provides insight into our understanding of the ecology and evolution of atrazine-degrading bacteria.

Description of the erythromycin-producing bacterium Arthrobacter sp. strain NRRL B-3381 as Aeromicrobium erythreum gen. nov., sp. nov

Arthrobacter sp. strain NRRL B-3381T (T = type strain) is a nonmycelial, nonsporulating actinomycete that produces the macrolide antibiotic erythromycin. This bacterium differs in many ways from the type species of the genus Arthrobacter (Arthrobacter globiformis), suggesting that a taxonomic revision is appropriate. The G + C content of strain NRRL B-3381T DNA is 71 to 73 mol%, and the peptidoglycan of this organism contains LL-diaminopimelic acid. Evolutionary distance data obtained from 16S rRNA sequences identified NRRL B-3381T as the deepest branching member of the Nocardioides group of actinomycetes. The principal long-chain fatty acids which we identified that distinguished strain NRRL B-3381T from related G + C-rich bacteria were 10-methyloctadecanoic (tuberculosteric), octadecenoic, and hexadecanoic acids. These characteristics, together with phage typing and biochemical characteristics, form the basis for our recommendation that strain NRRL B-3381 should be the type strain of a new taxon, for which we propose the name Aeromicrobium erythreum.     

Toluene-induced accumulation of trehalose by Pseudomonas sp. BCNU 106 through the expression of otsA and otsB homologues

AIM: The objective of this study was to investigate toluene-induced accumulation mechanism of trehalose in a toluene-tolerant bacterium Pseudomonas sp. BCNU 106. METHODS AND RESULTS: The accumulation of trehalose by a toluene-tolerant bacterium Pseudomonas sp. BCNU 106 was examined at various cultivation time by measuring the total intracellular trehalose content, trehalase activity and mRNA levels of the trehalose-biosynthetic genes. The pattern of trehalose accumulation corresponded to the mRNA expression pattern of the trehalose-biosynthetic genes with the maximum level at 12 h or 4 h of cultivation with 10% (v/v) toluene, respectively. The trehalose-biosynthetic genes were also cloned and sequenced. Furthermore, the effects of toluene addition on the intracellular osmotic pressure and pH were investigated. It was shown that homeostasis was maintained in the bacterial cells. CONCLUSIONS: In a toluene-tolerant bacterium Pseudomonas sp. BCNU 106, a significant amount of trehalose was accumulated through the toluene-induced expression of the trehalose-biosynthetic genes after the exposure to toluene. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: The accumulation of the high level of intracellular trehalose was preceded by the expression of otsA/B genes in toluene-tolerant bacteria, contributing to the elucidation of the tolerance mechanism.     

Complete mineralisation of dimethylformamide by Ochrobactrum sp. DGVK1 isolated from the soil samples collected from the coalmine leftovers

A bacterial strain DGVK1 capable of using N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) as sole source of carbon and nitrogen was isolated from the soil samples collected from the coalmine leftovers. The molecular phylogram generated using the complete sequence of 16S rDNA of the strain DGVK1 showed close links to the bacteria grouped under Brucellaceae family that belongs to alphaproteobacteria class. Specifically, the 16S rDNA sequence of strain DGVK1 has shown 97% similarity to Ochrobactrum anthropi LMG 3331 (D12794). This bacterium has also shown impressive growth on dimethylamine, methylamine, formaldehyde and formate that are considered to be the prominent catabolic intermediates of DMF. DMF degradation has led to the accumulation of ammonia and dimethylamine contributing to the increase of pH of the medium. The DMF-grown resting cells of Ochrobactrum sp. DGVK1 have also contributed for the release of ammonia when resting cell suspension was added to phosphate buffer containing DMF. Similar experiments done with the glucose-grown cultures have not produced ammonia and thus indicating the inducible nature of DMF-degrading enzymes in Ochrobactrum sp. DGVK1. Further, dimethylformamidase, dimethylamine dehydrogenase and methylamine dehydrogenase, the key enzymes involved in the degradation of DMF, were assayed, and the activities of these enzymes were found only in DMF-grown cultures further confirming the inducible nature of the DMF degradation. Based on these results, DMF degradation pathway found in Ochrobactrum sp. DGVK1 has been proposed.     

Biodegradation and bioremediation of endosulfan contaminated soil

Among the three mixed bacterial culture AE, BE, and CE, developed by enrichment technique with endosulfan as sole carbon source, consortium CE was found to be the most efficient with 72% and 87% degradation of alpha-endosulfan and beta-endosulfan, respectively, in 20 days. In soil microcosm, consortium AE, BE and CE degraded alpha-endosulfan by 57%, 88% and 91%, respectively, whereas beta-endosulfan was degraded by 4%, 60% and 67% after 30 days. Ochrobacterum sp., Arthrobacter sp., and Burkholderia sp., isolated and identified on the basis of 16s rDNA gene sequence, individually showed in situ biodegradation of alpha-endosulfan in contaminated soil microcosm by 61, 73, and 74, respectively, whereas degradation of beta-endosulfan was 63, 75, and 62, respectively, after 6 weeks of incubation over the control which showed 26% and 23 % degradation of alpha-endosulfan and beta-endosulfan, respectively. Population survival of Ochrobacterum sp., Arthrobacter sp., and Burkholderia sp., by plate count on Luria Broth with carbenicillin showed 75-88% survival of these isolates as compared to 36-48% of survival obtained from PCR fingerprinting. Arthrobacter sp. oxidized endosulfan to endosulfan sulfate which was further metabolized but no known metabolite of endosulfan sulfate was detected.
