测定绿脓杆菌冷休克率方法的研究

本研究基于某些革兰氏阴性杆菌当处于不同生长阶段时对冷敏感性表现不同的现象,建立了绿脓杆菌冷休克率的测定技术,可用于测定群体绿脓杆菌的生长情况。应用该技术,实验群体绿脓杆菌生长各期的肉汤培养物,观察冷休克率变化规律,对照群体细菌生长曲线可见两者有一定程度吻合,同时也有差别,后者主要在于细菌冷休克率峰值出现早于细菌活菌数峰值,而当细菌达到稳定期时,其数量居高不下而后才逐渐降低,此时,冷休克率的降低则迅速而明显,可清楚地表明细菌生长状态,较早地预示群体细菌生长势头。对实验动物及少量烧伤病人创面标本检测的结果表明冷休克率测定有助于检出生长的优势菌群,此点将在机会致病菌的微生物病原性确定方面有一定的应用前景。     

细菌L型的厌氧诱导和培养

厌氧条件下以羧卡青霉素诱导金黄色葡萄球菌、大肠杆菌和蜡样芽胞杆菌形成Ｌ型,观察细菌Ｌ型在厌氧条件下的形成、形态、生长及时渗透压的敏感性等特性。结果表明：蜡样芽胞杆菌在厌氧条件下不能形成Ｌ型或其Ｌ型在厌氧条件下亦不能返祖。金黄色葡萄球菌和大肠杆菌在厌氧条件下虽能诱生Ｌ型,但形成丝状体的构成Ｌ型菌落难以传代培养,厌氧培养未见Ｌ型圆球体和典型Ｌ型油煎蛋样菌落。金黄色葡萄球菌Ｌ型在含１％～１０％ＮａＣｌ的Ｌ型培养基上可生长形成Ｌ型菌落或非菌落形式存在的Ｌ型巨形体;大肠杆菌和蜡样芽胞杆菌的Ｌ型在含２％～６％ＮａＣｌ的Ｌ型培养基上可生长形成Ｌ型菌落或非菌落形式存在的Ｌ型巨形体。涂片染色或返祖试验证实细菌Ｌ型在含０．５％ＮａＣｌ的Ｌ型培养基或常规细菌学培养基上亦可生存。非菌落性Ｌ型巨形体和丝形体是细菌Ｌ型在琼脂培养基上广泛的存在形式。

影响多粘菌素B对绿脓杆菌杀菌效力的主要环境因素的研究

本文通过改变温度,水活度,气体条件和营养含量等影响绿脓杆菌生长的主要环境因素,测定多粘菌素B对绿脓杆菌的最小杀菌浓度(MBC)。结果表明环境因素导致或显著影响绿脓杆菌对抗生素的生态耐受性。实验表明多粘菌素B对绿脓杆菌的杀菌效力,除药物对细菌特有的药理学作用外,还取决于细菌的生长环境。结合冷休克率试验表明,环境影响细菌群体处于分裂状态的菌数。若分裂状态菌数下降表明生长速度减慢。提示了多粘菌素B对绿脓杆菌的效力指数,定量分析可以作为其综合效力作用的表现。以同步培养法确定在单个细胞周期中的抗生素敏感阶段。同时以冷休克率试验资料证明细菌处于分裂状态和幼龄期是其敏感阶段。初步阐述了生长速度缓慢与药物的生态耐受性密切相关。

Detergent-induced cell aggregation in subpopulations of Pseudomonas aeruginosa as a preadaptive survival strategy

During growth of Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain PAO1 with the toxic detergent SDS, a part of the population actively formed macroscopic cell aggregates while the other part grew as freely suspended cells. The physiological function of aggregation for growth with SDS was investigated. Three mutants growing with SDS without aggregation were isolated: the spontaneous mutant strain N and two mutants with transposon insertions in the psl operon for exopolysaccharide synthesis. SDS-induced aggregation in strain N but not in a pslJ mutant was restored by complementation with two genes encoding diguanylate cyclases responsible for synthesis of cyclic-di-guanosine monophosphate (c-di-GMP). By expressing a c-di-GMP-specific phosphodiesterase SDS-induced aggregation of strain PAO1 was reduced. Upon exposure to SDS in the presence of the uncoupler carbonyl cyanide chlorophenylhydrazone, the aggregating strains had ca. 500-fold higher survival rates than the non-aggregating strains. Co-incubation experiments revealed that strain N could integrate into aggregates of strain PAO1 and thereby increase its survival rate more than 1000-fold. These results showed that SDS-induced aggregation involved c-di-GMP signalling with the psl operon as a possible target. Cell aggregation could serve as a pre-adaptive strategy ensuring survival and growth of P. aeruginosa populations in environments with multiple toxic chemicals.     

冷激对高温胁迫下番茄幼苗生长及花芽分化的影响

为了解苗期冷激锻炼对番茄幼苗生长和花芽分化的影响,试验采用人工气候箱模拟夏季设施高温环境,每天对番茄幼苗进行10 ℃、10 min的冷激锻炼,研究冷激处理对高温胁迫下番茄幼苗生长、叶片超微结构和花芽分化进程的影响,并观察定植后开花和坐果情况.结果表明：在4叶期经过冷激锻炼的番茄幼苗茎粗、壮苗指数分别比对照提高了7.2%和55.5%;经过冷激锻炼处理的番茄幼苗叶片中叶绿体和线粒体等细胞器形状及结构正常完整,一定程度上缓解了高温对番茄幼苗叶肉细胞超微结构的破坏;冷激锻炼显著提高了番茄幼苗早期花芽分化的分化进程,但随着苗龄的延长这种差异变得不显著.定植后经冷激处理的番茄幼苗第1、2穗果的坐果数和坐果率显著高于未经冷激处理.表明冷激锻炼不仅能够缓解高温对番茄幼苗细胞超微结构的伤害和生长的胁迫,还有利于早期花芽分化进程的提前,提高番茄坐果数和坐果率.     

The galactophilic lectin, LecA, contributes to biofilm development in Pseudomonas aeruginosa

LecA (PA-IL) is a cytotoxic lectin and adhesin produced by Pseudomonas aeruginosa which binds hydrophobic galactosides with high specificity and affinity. By using a lecA-egfp translation fusion and immunoblot analysis of the biofilm extracellular matrix, we show that lecA is expressed in biofilm-grown cells. In static biofilm assays on both polystyrene and stainless steel, biofilm depth and surface coverage was reduced by mutation of lecA and enhanced in the LecA-overproducing strain PAO-P47. Biofilm surface coverage by the parent strain, PAO-P47 but not the lecA mutant on steel coupons was also inhibited by growth in the presence of either isopropyl-beta-D-thiogalactoside (IPTG) or p-nitrophenyl-alpha-D-galactoside (NPG). Furthermore, mature wild-type biofilms formed in the absence of these hydrophobic galactosides could be dispersed by the addition of IPTG. In contrast, addition of p-nitrophenyl-alpha-L-fucose (NPF) which has a high affinity for the P. aeruginosa LecB (PA-IIL) lectin had no effect on biofilm formation or dispersal. Planktonic growth of P. aeruginosa PAO1 was unaffected by the presence of IPTG, NPG or NPF, nor was the strain able to utilize these sugars as carbon sources, suggesting that the observed effects on biofilm formation were due to the competitive inhibition of LecA-ligand binding. Similar results were also obtained for biofilms grown under dynamic flow conditions on steel coupons, suggesting that LecA contributes to P. aeruginosa biofilm architecture under different environmental conditions.     

Aprotic polar solvents that affect porcine brain tubulin aggregation in vitro induce aneuploidy in yeast cells growing at low temperatures

Seven aprotic polar solvents which had previously been shown to interfere with the aggregation in vitro of porcine brain tubulin have been examined for their ability to induce mitotic aneuploidy in Saccharomyces cerevisiae in relation to temperature during exposure. Induction of aneuploidy was in general considerably enhanced when incubation at 28 degrees C was interrupted by overnight storage at low temperature (cold shock). The optimum cold-shock temperatures for individual chemicals varied over a range of 0-16 degrees C. While storage at reduced temperature enhanced the effect of treatment at 28 degrees C, it was also shown that continuous incubation at reduced temperature could greatly enhance the induction of aneuploidy. Only 2 chemicals, 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone and gamma-valerolactone, required cold shock to yield a positive response. The other chemicals did not require cold shock for enhanced induction. The observation that the agents examined also interfere with in vitro tubulin aggregation suggests that there is a temperature component to the interaction of these agents with tubulin in vivo. This temperature component is unusual in that the most effective temperature range for aneuploidy induction can be well below the optimal growth temperature for the test organism.

In situ growth rates and biofilm development of Pseudomonas aeruginosa populations in chronic lung infections

The growth dynamics of bacterial pathogens within infected hosts are a fundamental but poorly understood feature of most infections. We have focused on the in situ distribution and growth characteristics of two prevailing and transmissible Pseudomonas aeruginosa clones that have caused chronic lung infections in cystic fibrosis (CF) patients for more than 20 years. We used fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) directly on sputum specimens to examine the spatial distribution of the infecting P. aeruginosa cells. Mucoid variants were present in sputum as cell clusters surrounded by an extracellular matrix, whereas nonmucoid variants were present mainly as dispersed cells. To obtain estimates of the growth rates of P. aeruginosa in CF lungs, we used quantitative FISH to indirectly measure growth rates of bacteria in sputum samples (reflecting the in vivo lung conditions). The concentration of rRNA in bacteria isolated from sputa was measured and correlated with the rRNA contents of the same bacteria growing in vitro at defined rates. The results showed that most cells were actively growing with doubling times of between 100 and 200 min, with some growing even faster. Only a small stationary-phase subpopulation seemed to be present in sputa. This was found for both mucoid and nonmucoid variants despite their different organizations in sputum. The results suggest that the bacterial population may be confronted with selection forces that favor optimized growth activities. This scenario constitutes a new perspective on the adaptation and evolution of P. aeruginosa during chronic infections in CF patients in particular and on long-term infections in general.

Efficacy of silver-releasing rubber for the prevention of Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilm formation in water

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the efficacy of Elastoguard silver-releasing rubber in preventing Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilm formation in water. Biofilm formation by P. aeruginosa under various conditions in an in vitro model system was compared for silver-releasing and conventional rubber. Under most conditions tested, the numbers of sessile cells attached to silver-releasing rubber were considerably lower with reference to conventional rubber, although the effect diminished with increasing volumes. The release of silver also resulted in a decrease in planktonic cells. By exposing both materials simultaneously to conditions for biofilm growth, it became obvious that the antibiofilm effect was due to a reduction in the number of planktonic cells, rather than to contact-dependent killing of sessile cells. The data demonstrate that the use of silver-releasing rubber reduces P. aeruginosa biofilm in water and reduces the number of planktonic cells present in the surrounding solution.     

Characterization of nutrient-induced dispersion in Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 biofilm

The processes associated with early events in biofilm formation have become a major research focus over the past several years. Events associated with dispersion of cells from late stage biofilms have, however, received little attention. We demonstrate here that dispersal of Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 from biofilms is inducible by a sudden increase in carbon substrate availability. Most efficient at inducing dispersal were sudden increases in availability of succinate > glutamate > glucose that led to approximately 80% reductions in surface-associated biofilm biomass. Nutrient-induced biofilm dispersion was associated with increased expression of flagella (fliC) and correspondingly decreased expression of pilus (pilA) genes in dispersed cells. Changes in gene expression associated with dispersion of P. aeruginosa biofilms were studied by using DNA microarray technology. Results corroborated proteomic data that showed gene expression to be markedly different between biofilms and newly dispersed cells. Gene families that were upregulated in dispersed cells included those for flagellar and ribosomal proteins, kinases, and phage PF1. Within the biofilm, genes encoding a number of denitrification pathways and pilus biosynthesis were also upregulated. Interestingly, nutrient-induced dispersion was associated with an increase in the number of Ser/Thr-phosphorylated proteins within the newly dispersed cells, and inhibition of dephosphorylation reduced the extent of nutrient-induced dispersion. This study is the first to demonstrate that dispersal of P. aeruginosa from biofilms can be induced by the addition of simple carbon sources. This study is also the first to demonstrate that dispersal of P. aeruginosa correlates with a specific dispersal phenotype.     

TOL plasmid in Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO: thermosensitivity of self-maintenance and inhibition of host cell growth.

The TOL plasmid originally isolated in Pseudomonas putida (arvilla) mt-2 was transmissible to strains of the fluorescens group of Pseudomonas, i.e., P. putida, P. fluorescens, and P. aeruginosa, except for a strain of P. aeruginosa, strain PAO. The same strain, however, could accept the plasmid when its restriction and modification abilities were lost by mutations or by growing at high temperature. In addition, the transmissibility of the TOL plasmid from strain PAO to P. putida was low when the plasmid was modified by the donor. By using P. aeruginosa PAO carrying the TOL plasmid, the stability and genetic expression of the plasmid as well as its effect on the host cell growth were examined. Thus the self-maintenance of the plasmid was found to be thermosensitive. Furthermore, the TOL plasmid inhibited the growth of strain PAO at high temperature, accompanied by the formation of some filamentous cells. These thermosensitive properties of the TOL plasmid were host dependent and not exhibited in another strain of P. aeruginosa.
