Astaxanthin synthesis by Xanthophyllomyces dendrorhous DSM 5626 and its mutants on carrot extract medium under different illumination intensity

The effect of illumination intensity on astaxanthin synthesis by yeast Xanthophyllomyces dendrorhous DSM 5626 and its 4 mutants grown in cultures on carrot extract medium was investigated. Cell concentration, total carotenoid and astaxanthin yields were assessed in obtained cultures. Collected data were used to construct regression models describing the effect of illumination intensity on controlled parameters. Maximum cellular (0.44–0.46 g/kg of dry cell weight) and volumetric yields (2.3–2.4 mg/L) of the pigment were observed for mutants 10BE and 34B at 600 lx, as well as for mutant 26UV at 1000 lx. The highest yield of astaxanthin for the parental strain was obtained in culture at illumination of 1000 lx (0.29 g/kg of dry cell weight and 1.51 mg/L). The values of illumination determined on the basis of constructed regression models for individual yeast strains, at which astaxanthin synthesis should be the most efficient, remained within the range of 660–1000 lx.

In vitro effect of some Indian honeys on Staphylococcus aureus from wounds

Staphylococcus aureus is the most frequently isolated pathogen from wounds with multiple resistances to antibiotics. Honey has been demonstrated and reported to be effective antibacterial agent on Gram positive and Gram negative organisms. Hence, the present study was conducted to evaluate the in vitro antibacterial effect of Indian honeys on Staphylococcus aureus obtained from wounds. A total of 123 Staphylococcus aureus isolates along with ATCC 25923 were categorized as sensitive, multi drug resistant (MDR) and non-MDR strains. Out of total nine Indian honeys (three each of unifloral, multifloral and branded marketed honey) used, three unifloral and three multifloral honey samples showed antibacterial activity against all the organisms tested by Agar diffusion method but not the branded marketed honeys. The MIC values of all honey samples for all studied Staphylococcus aureus isolates ranged between 5-15% (v/v). Unifloral honey samples showed higher antibacterial activity than multifloral honey. The single sample of Jambhul honey showed the highest activity. Thus, Indian honeys were found to be effective for their antimicrobial activity on sensitive, non-MDR, MDR and ATCC strains of S. aureus.     

Weak antimicrobial effect of carob (Ceratonia siliqua) extract against food-related bacteria in culture media and model food systems

A weak antibiotic effect of carob (Ceratonia siliqua) extract against Staphylococcus aureus S-6, St. aureus 722, and Pseudomonas fragi, was evident when the strains were screened with the paper disk assay. An intermediate inhibitory action of carob on Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella enteritidis, and Brochothrix thermosphacta was found with the same technique while Shewanella putrefaciens was not inhibited. The inhibitory action of extract against St. aureus and P. fragi was also confirmed in broth culture while little effect was noted with S. enteritidis. The addition of extract to tuna and potato salad stored under aerobic and modified atmosphere packaging conditions at 4 °C, affected the survival of St. aureus but not that of S. enteritidis.     

Superoxide Dismutase Activity and Lipid Peroxidation in Relation to Senescence of Rica Leaves

Superoxide dismutase (SOD), lipid peroxidation, ribulose 1, 5-bisphosphate earboxylasc and chlorophyll content in the leaves of rice were investigated during bloomJug to ripening stages. The results indicated that leaf senescence was associated with the decreascs of SOD and RuBP earboxylase activities and chlorophyll content. A marked increase of malondialdehyde(MDA)contcnt, a produet of lipid pcroxidation was observed during leaf senescence, However, the relative high activities of SOD and RuBP earboxylase and chlorophyll content, lower MDA content in hybrid rice senescenee leaves, compared with their three lines, suggest the presence of physiological hybrid vigor. The analysis of polyacrylamide gel eleetrophoresis showed that three SOD isozymes in leaf extract, which were Cu-Zn SOD. Changes of SOD isozymes were observed during leaf agling and at different time of storage of its extract. The destroying effect of oxygen free radical on enzymes and membrane in the course of leaf senescence was discussed.     

The superoxide dismutase gene sodM is unique to Staphylococcus aureus: absence of sodM in coagulase-negative staphylococci

Superoxide dismutase (SOD) profiles of clinical isolates of Staphylococcus aureus and coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS) were determined by using whole-cell lysates and activity gels. All S. aureus clinical isolates exhibited three closely migrating bands of activity as previously determined for laboratory strains of S. aureus: SodM, SodA, and a hybrid composed of SodM and SodA (M. W. Valderas and M. E. Hart, J. Bacteriol. 183:3399-3407, 2001). In contrast, the CoNS produced only one SOD activity, which migrated similarly to SodA of S. aureus. Southern analysis of eight CoNS species identified only a single sod gene in each case. A full-length sod gene was cloned from Staphylococcus epidermidis and determined to be more similar to sodA than to sodM of S. aureus. Therefore, this gene was designated sodA. The deduced amino acid sequence of the S. epidermidis sodA was 92 and 76% identical to that of the SodA and SodM proteins of S. aureus, respectively. The S. epidermidis sodA gene expressed from a plasmid complemented a sodA mutation in S. aureus, and the protein formed a hybrid with SodM of S. aureus. Both hybrid SOD forms as well as the SodM and SodA proteins of S. aureus and the S. epidermidis SodA protein exist as dimers. These data indicate that sodM is found only in S. aureus and not in the CoNS, suggesting an important divergence in the evolution of this genus and a unique role for SodM in S. aureus.

Helichrysum italicum extract interferes with the production of enterotoxins by Staphylococcus aureus

AIMS: The purpose of this work was to evaluate the effect of Helichrysum italicum extract on enterotoxin (A-D) production by Staphylococcus aureus strains. METHODS AND RESULTS: The production of enterotoxins A-D in the presence or absence of H.italicum diethyl ether extract was estimated in microtiter plates using a reversed passive latex agglutination (SET-RPLA) kit (Oxoid, Basingstoke, UK). The results indicate that, in culture medium, inhibition of staphylococcal growth and enterotoxins appeared with 250-125 microg ml(-1) of the extract. Lower concentrations of the extract (62.5-31.25 microg ml(-1)) did not affect the final viable count of Staph. aureus but reduced the production of enterotoxins B and C. CONCLUSIONS: H. italicum interferes with growth and production of enterotoxins by Staph. aureus. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: There is considerable interest in the use of natural compounds as alternative methods to control undesirable pathogenic micro-organisms.     

Activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD) isoforms during growth of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Scenedesmus</Emphasis> (chlorophyta) species and strains grown in batch-cultures

Growth of Scenedesmus species and strains, grown for 28 days in mineral BBM medium in batch-cultures, displayed sigmoidal kinetics that comprised a lag, exponential and declining growth phases. Total SOD activity in these autotrophically cultured organisms, which oscillated within 0.6 – 1.4 Umg protein⁻¹, was rather species-specific and only to some extent depended on the growth phase. Contrary, three S. obliquus strains: wild type 276-6, mutant with blocked PS I (strain 56.80) and mutant with blocked PS II (strain 57.80), cultured for 7 days on BBM medium supplemented with bacto-tryptone and yeast extract (BBM+) turned out to be time-dependent and to have several times higher total SOD activity than one obtained for Scenedesmus grown autotrophically. Regardless of the media composition, the phase of growth and studied organism, dominant isoforms of total SOD were together determined Fe- and Mn-SOD. Profiles of SOD isoforms, obtained after PAGE analysis of all autotrophically and exponentially growing organisms, revealed that one Mn-SOD and one Cu/Zn-SOD bands located on gels at the same position whereas location of three bands of Fe-SOD depended on the strain. This suggests the presence of two different groups of Fe-SODs in analyzed organisms. Identical SOD profiles found in two S. armatus strains (276-4a and 276-4d) and S. subspicatus correspond well with their taxonomic position. The SOD profile of S. armatus B1-76 distinctly differed from two other S. armatus strains but was identical to S. microspinal B1-76 and S. quadricauda G-15 despite the fact that there were significant growth rate differences between these three species. SODs profiles of S. acutus 437 and S. obliguus 453 were species-specific. In S. obliquus strains cultured on BBM+ medium, there are four SOD bands: one slightly visible band of Mn-SOD, two intensive bands of Fe-SOD and one band of Cu/Zn-SOD. The above finding suggests that antioxidant response of algae kept in batch-cultures differs according to medium composition and the SOD activity mainly restricted to chloroplasts.
