Symbiobacterium thermophilum is a syntrophic bacterium whose growth depends on coculture with a Bacillus sp. Recently, we discovered that CO(2) generated by Bacillus is the major inducer for the growth of S. thermophilum; however, the evidence suggested that an additional element is required for its full growth. Here, we studied the self-growth-inhibitory substances produced by S. thermophilum. We succeeded in purifying two substances from an ether extract of the culture supernatant of S. thermophilum by multiple steps of reverse-phase chromatography. Electron ionization mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance analyses of the purified preparation identified the substances as 2,2-bis(3'-indolyl)indoxyl (BII) and 1,1-bis(3'-indolyl)ethane (BIE). The pure growth of S. thermophilum was inhibited by authentic BII and BIE with MICs of 12 and 7 microg/ml, respectively; however, its growth in coculture with Bacillus was not inhibited by BII at the saturation concentration and was inhibited by BIE with an MIC of 14 microg/ml. Both BII and BIE inhibited the growth of other microorganisms. Unexpectedly, the accumulation levels of both BII and BIE in the pure culture of S. thermophilum were far lower than the MICs (<0.1 microg/ml) while a marked amount of BIE (6 to 7 microg/ml) equivalent to the MIC had accumulated in the coculture. An exogenous supply of surfactin alleviated the sensitivities of several BIE-sensitive bacteria against BIE. The results suggest that Bacillus benefits S. thermophilum by detoxifying BII and BIE in the coculture. A similar mechanism may underlie mutualistic relationships between different microorganisms. 相似文献

The lipid distribution and function in the thylakoid membranes from a thermophilic cyanobacterium, Mastigocladus laminosus, were investigated. The thylakoid membranes were treated with digitonin and separated on a DEAE-cellulose column into fractions enriched in photosystem I or II complex. Lipid analyses showed a specific distribution of anionic lipids among the fractions. A mild delipidation of the membranes with cholate indicates that monogalactosyl diacylglycerol (MGDG) and sulfoquinovosyl diacylglycerol (SQDG) are released rapidly, while the major parts of digalactosyl diacylglycerol (DGDG) and phosphatidylglycerol (PG) are tightly associated with membranes, suggesting a different distribution between the two groups of lipids. Measurements of fluorescence of delipidated and reconstituted thylakoids showed the contribution of lipids to energy transfer. MGDG enhanced all the original fluorescence of thylakoids, while acidic PG and SQDG stimulated fluorescence of photosystem I and antena chlorophyll-protein complexes. DGDG was less effective under the conditions tested. 相似文献

Symbiobacterium thermophilum is a strictly symbiotic thermophile, the growth of which is dependent on the coexistence of an associating thermophilic Bacillus sp., strain S. S. thermophilum grows only in mixed culture with the Bacillus strain in liquid media, and does not form visible colonies on solid media. To measure the growth of this symbiotic bacterium and to analyze its growth requirements, we developed a quantitative PCR method by using its specific sequences in a putative membrane translocator gene tnaT as primers. According to this method, independent growth of S. thermophilum was first confirmed in a dialyzing culture physically separated from Bacillus strain S with a cellulose membrane. Independent growth of S. thermophilum was also managed by adding conditioned medium prepared from the culture filtrate of the Bacillus strain, but the growth in the conditioned medium stopped at a very limited extent with appearance of filamentous cells, suggesting the uncoupling of cellular growth and cell division. Formation of micro-colonies of S. thermophilum was observed on the conditioned agar medium under both aerobic and anaerobic conditions, but the colony-forming efficiencies remained below 1%. Several other bacterial species, such as Bacillus stearothermophilus, Bacillus subtilis, Thermus thermophilus, and even Escherichia coli, were also found to support the growth of S. thermophilum. These results indicate that S. thermophilum essentially requires some ubiquitous metabolite(s) of low molecular weight produced by various bacterial species as growth factor(s) but coexistence of the living partner cells is still required, probably to maintain an effective level of the putative factor(s) in the medium. 相似文献

A potent inhibitor of larval settlement by the barnacle, Balanus amphitrite, was isolated as 2,5,6-tribromo-1-methylgraimne from a marine invertebrate. In comparative tests on the activity of related compounds, such compounds as 2-methylgramine and 2-methyl-3-(morpholinomethyl)-indole exhibited potent inhibitory activity. The inhibitory activity toward larval settlement was found not to be due to toxicity but to a repellent effect. 相似文献

The proteasome is a proteolytic machinery that executes the degradation of polyubiquitinated proteins to maintain cellular homeostasis. Proteasome inhibition is a unique and effective way to kill cancer cells because they are sensitive to proteotoxic stress. Indeed, the proteasome inhibitor bortezomib is now indispensable for the treatment of multiple myeloma and other intractable malignancies, but is associated with patient inconvenience due to intravenous injection and emerging drug resistance. To resolve these problems, we attempted to develop orally bioavailable proteasome inhibitors with distinct mechanisms of action and identified homopiperazine derivatives (HPDs) as promising candidates. Biochemical and crystallographic studies revealed that some HPDs inhibit all three catalytic subunits (ß 1, ß 2 and ß 5) of the proteasome by direct binding, whereas bortezomib and other proteasome inhibitors mainly act on the ß5 subunit. Proteasome-inhibitory HPDs exhibited cytotoxic effects on cell lines from various hematological malignancies including myeloma. Furthermore, K-7174, one of the HPDs, was able to inhibit the growth of bortezomib-resistant myeloma cells carrying a ß5-subunit mutation. Finally, K-7174 had additive effects with bortezomib on proteasome inhibition and apoptosis induction in myeloma cells. Taken together, HPDs could be a new class of proteasome inhibitors, which compensate for the weak points of conventional ones and overcome the resistance to bortezomib. 相似文献

Oxygen-Dependent Growth of the Sulfate-Reducing Bacterium Desulfovibrio oxyclinae in Coculture with Marinobacter sp. Strain MB in an Aerated Sulfate-Depleted Chemostat 下载免费PDF全文
A chemostat coculture of the sulfate-reducing bacterium Desulfovibrio oxyclinae and the facultatively aerobic heterotroph Marinobacter sp. strain MB was grown for 1 week under anaerobic conditions at a dilution rate of 0.05 h−1. It was then exposed to an oxygen flux of 223 μmol min−1 by gassing the growth vessel with 5% O2. Sulfate reduction persisted under these conditions, though the amount of sulfate reduced decreased by 45% compared to the amount reduced during the initial anaerobic mode. After 1 week of growth under these conditions, sulfate was excluded from the incoming medium. The sulfate concentration in the growth vessel decreased exponentially from 4.1 mM to 2.5 μM. The coculture consumed oxygen effectively, and no residual oxygen was detected during either growth mode in which oxygen was supplied. The proportion of D. oxyclinae cells in the coculture as determined by in situ hybridization decreased from 86% under anaerobic conditions to 70% in the microaerobic sulfate-reducing mode and 34% in the microaerobic sulfate-depleted mode. As determined by the most-probable-number (MPN) method, the numbers of viable D. oxyclinae cells during the two microaerobic growth modes decreased compared to the numbers during the anaerobic growth mode. However, there was no significant difference between the MPN values for the two modes when oxygen was supplied. The patterns of consumption of electron donors and acceptors suggested that when oxygen was supplied in the absence of sulfate and thiosulfate, D. oxyclinae performed incomplete aerobic oxidation of lactate to acetate. This is the first observation of oxygen-dependent growth of a sulfate-reducing bacterium in the absence of either sulfate or thiosulfate. Cells harvested during the microaerobic sulfate-depleted stage and exposed to sulfate and thiosulfate in a respiration chamber were capable of anaerobic sulfate and thiosulfate reduction. 相似文献

Symbiobacterium thermophilum, a thermophilic bacterium, is a thermostable tryptophanase producer that can grow only in coculture with a specific Bacillus strain. Two thermostable tryptophanase genes, tna-1 and tna-2, that are located close to each other were cloned into Escherichia coli from S. thermophilum by the DNA-probing method. The nucleotide and deduced amino acid sequences indicate that Tna1 and Tna2 share 92% identical amino acids in a total of 453 amino acids. By means of DNA manipulation with E. coli host-vector systems, Tna1 and Tna2 were produced in very large amounts in enzymatically active forms. Comparison of the NH2-terminal amino acid sequences and the enzymatic properties of the tryptophanases purified from the original S. thermophilum strain and these two tryptophanases from recombinant E. coli cells suggest that in S. thermophilum, only Tna2 is produced and tna-1 is silent. Notwithstanding the great similarity in amino acid sequence between Tna1 and Tna2, the two enzymes differ markedly in activation energy for catalysis and thermostability. 相似文献

Plant growth-promoting bacteria colonize various habitats, including the phyllosphere. Here, we present the high-quality draft genome sequence of Bacillus sp. strain 5B6, which was isolated from the leaf of a cherry tree. The 3.9-Mb genome uncovers its potential for understanding the nature of leaf colonization as well as antibiosis against plant pathogens. 相似文献

Effect of Growth Temperature on Phospholipid and Fatty Acid Compositions in a Psychrotrophic Bacterium, Pseudomonas sp. Strain E-3 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The effect of growth temperature on the compositions of phospholipidsand fatty acids of the psychrotrophic bacterium Pseudomonassp. strain E-3 was studied. The composition of phospholipids(phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol and cardiolipin)did not differ significantly in cells grown at 5?, 15?, and30?C. Phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) was the most abundant, amountingto over 70% of total phospholipids. When the growth temperaturewas lowered, palmitoleic [16:1(9)] and cis-vaccenic [18:1(11)]acids increased at the expense of palmitic (16:0) acid, especiallyin PE. In vivo experiments using [l-14C]16:0 showed that incorporationof radioactivity into 16:1(9) was oxygen-dependent and cerulenin-insensitive,and incorporation into 18:1(11) was cerulenin-sensitive. Theseresults suggest that 16:0 was aerobically desaturated to 16:1(9)and subsequently elongated to 18:1(11). Desaturation activityof 16:0 in the cells grown at 25?C was enhanced by loweringthe assay temperature. (Received February 12, 1987; Accepted July 10, 1987) 相似文献

Sulfate Reduction and Possible Aerobic Metabolism of the Sulfate-Reducing Bacterium Desulfovibrio oxyclinae in a Chemostat Coculture with Marinobacter sp. Strain MB under Exposure to Increasing Oxygen Concentrations 下载免费PDF全文

A chemostat coculture of the sulfate-reducing bacterium Desulfovibrio oxyclinae together with a facultative aerobe heterotroph tentatively identified as Marinobacter sp. strain MB was grown under anaerobic conditions and then exposed to a stepwise-increasing oxygen influx (0 to 20% O2 in the incoming gas phase). The coculture consumed oxygen efficiently, and no residual oxygen was detected with an oxygen supply of up to 5%. Sulfate reduction persisted at all levels of oxygen input, even at the maximal level, when residual oxygen in the growth vessel was 87 μM. The portion of D. oxyclinae cells in the coculture decreased gradually from 92% under anaerobic conditions to 27% under aeration. Both absolute cell numbers and viable cell counts of the organism were the same as or even higher than those observed in the absence of oxygen input. The patterns of consumption of electron donors and acceptors suggest that aerobic incomplete oxidation of lactate to acetate is performed by D. oxyclinae under high oxygen input. Both organisms were isolated from the same oxic zone of a cyanobacterial mat where they have to adapt to daily shifts from oxic to anoxic conditions. This type of syntrophic association may occur in natural habitats, enabling sulfate-reducing bacteria to cope with periodic exposure to oxygen. 相似文献

A bacterium, PG-3-2, capable of butane-utilization as a sole carbon source was isolated from Puguang oilfield in Sichuan Province, China and identified as Arthrobacter sp. by 16S rRNA gene sequence and morphology characteristics. Butane-saturated medium was defined as optimal for the growth of PG-3-2. Proliferation of PG-3-2 was enhanced at low butanol concentrations (≤50 mM) and repressed at high concentrations (≥100 mM). Growth of strain PG-3-2 was supported by alkanes from C2 to C10 (except pentane) and various carbon substrates including primary alcohols, secondary alcohols, carboxylic acids, aldehydes, ketones, but not methane or its oxidation products. The rate of butane degradation by PG-3-2 was relatively high during the lag phase and prophase of the exponential phase. A bmoX gene, which encodes the alpha hydroxylase subunit of butane monooxygenase, was amplified from the genome of this bacterium. Sequence analysis revealed a high level of homology with alkane monooxygenase, thus indicating the existence of a novel bmoX gene involved in the butane degradation pathway in this Arthrobacter strain. 相似文献
