We previously reported the isolation of a temperate phage (named KT) and several bacteriocins (named clostocins) from strains of nonpathogenic Clostridium species. Later, the induction and some properties of the phage and four clostocins (A, B, C and D) were examined.The phage was induced by UV light and mitomycin C. The phage had a polygonal head (about 85m μ in diameter) and a tail with contractile sheath (about 100m μ in length). Some other properties of the phage were also studied; plaque morphology, stability in salt solution, inactivation by UV light, pH stability, thermal inactivation, host-range and lysis of infected culture.Clostocins A and D were partially induced by UV light and mitomycin C, whereas that of B and C were not. All clostocins failed to pass through a dialysis membrane, and were insensitive to UV light and to ribo- and deoxyribonuclease. They were destroyed by some proteolytic enzymes, but differences in degree of their susceptibility were observed among them. Clostocins A and D were very thermo-stable, whereas B and C were relatively thermo-labile. Clostocins A and D acted on some strains in the genus Clostridium, whereas B and C did on many strains in the family Bacillaceae.There was no demonstrable serological relationship between phage KT and clostocin A, although they seemed to adsorb on the same bacterial receptor. 相似文献

BackgroundChloronitrophenols (CNPs) are widely used in the synthesis of dyes, drugs and pesticides, and constitute a major group of environmental pollutants. 4-Chloro-2-nitrophenol (4C2NP) is an isomer of CNPs that has been detected in various industrial effluents. A number of physicochemical methods have been used for treatment of wastewater containing 4C2NP. These methods are not as effective as microbial degradation, however. ResultsA 4C2NP-degrading bacterium, Exiguobacterium sp. PMA, which uses 4C2NP as the sole carbon and energy source was isolated from a chemically-contaminated site in India. Exiguobacterium sp. PMA degraded 4C2NP with the release of stoichiometeric amounts of chloride and ammonium ions. The effects of different substrate concentrations and various inoculum sizes on degradation of 4C2NP were investigated. Exiguobacterium sp. PMA degraded 4C2NP up to a concentration of 0.6 mM. High performance liquid chromatography and gas chromatography–mass spectrometry identified 4-chloro-2-aminophenol (4C2AP) and 2-aminophenol (2AP) as possible metabolites of the 4C2NP degradation pathway. The crude extract of 4C2NP-induced PMA cells contained enzymatic activity for 4C2NP reductase and 4C2AP dehalogenase, suggesting the involvement of these enzymes in the degradation of 4C2NP. Microcosm studies using sterile and non-sterile soils spiked with 4C2NP were carried out to monitor the bioremediation potential of Exiguobacterium sp. PMA. The bioremediation of 4C2NP by Exiguobacterium sp. PMA was faster in non-sterilized soil than sterilized soil. ConclusionsOur studies indicate that Exiguobacterium sp. PMA may be useful for the bioremediation of 4C2NP-contaminated sites. This is the first report of (i) the formation of 2AP in the 4C2NP degradation pathway by any bacterium and (iii) the bioremediation of 4C2NP by any bacterium. 相似文献

A psychrophilic strain of bacteria identified as Chromobacterium lividum was established as the causative agent of an outbreak of violet discoloration in refrigerated, pasteurized retail milk and cream. The organism was rod-shaped, gram-negative, and produced viscid colonies with abundant violet pigment on Tryptone glucose yeast extract agar. Growth was abundant at 4 C but none occurred at 37 C. Growth in milk was characterized by a dark violet ring at the surface after a few days, and the deep violet color gradually extended through the product in older cultures. Some proteolysis occurred. The pigment appeared to be similar to that of other known species of Chromobacterium and assisted in identification of the genus of the causative organism. The isolated strain of C. lividum was destroyed by exposure to 56 C for 5 min which suggested postpasteurization contamination as the source of the spoilage organism in commercial milk and cream. 相似文献

Cytidine-diphospho-choline diacyl-glycerol phosphorylcholine phosphotransferase activity was demonstrated in potato ( Solanum tuberosum L.) microsomes and the incorporation of cytidine-diphospho[ 14C]choline into phosphatidylcholine was characterized by the time course of 14C incorporation and the effect of microsomal protein concentration on choline incorporation. Potato microsomes were progressively delipidated by treatments (2 min at 0°C) with increasing amounts of phospholipase C from Bacillus cereus. A decrease in choline phosphotransferase activity was observed in parallel with the progressive hydrolysis of membrane phospholipids. A 70% (or more) phospholipid hydrolysis provoked the total inactivation of the enzyme. Adding back exogenous phospholipids (in the form of liposomes) to phospholipase C-treated membranes restored the enzymic activity. Restoration could be obtained with egg yolk phospholipids as well as with potato phospholipids. Restoration was time dependent and completed after 10 minutes; restoration was also dependent on the quantity of liposomes added to lipid-depleted membranes: the best restorations were obtained with 1 to 2.5 milligrams of phospholipid per mg of microsomal protein; higher phospholipid to protein ratios were less efficient or inhibitory. These results clearly demonstrate the phospholipid dependence of the cytidine-diphospho-choline phosphotransferase from potato microsomes. 相似文献

A wide pool of cytosolic proteins is selectively degraded in lysosomes by chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA). Binding of these proteins to a receptor at the lysosomal membrane is the limiting step in CMA. Levels of this receptor are tightly regulated through changes in its degradation, multimeric organization and dynamic distribution between the lysosomal membrane and lumen. We have now reported that subcompartmentalization of the receptor in discrete lipid microdomains at the lysosomal membrane regulates its engagement in each of these processes — degradation, multimerization and membrane retrieval. Changes in the lipid composition of the membrane thus affect the dynamics of the receptor and, consequently, CMA activity. As an example of CMA dysfunction resulting from perturbation of the lipid composition of the lysosomal membrane, we discuss here a second study in which we analyzed the changes in the dynamics of the receptor during aging. CMA activity decreases with age primarily due to a decrease in the levels of the CMA receptor at the lysosomal membrane. Now we have found that age-related alterations in the lipid composition of the discrete microdomains at the lysosomal membrane are behind the reduced lysosomal levels of the receptor and, consequently, the declined CMA activity that occurs during aging.Addendum to:Altered Dynamics of the Lysosomal Receptor for Chaperone-Mediated Autophagy with AgeR.

The movement of IAA- 14C through coleoptile segments of Avena and Zea has been investigated under aerobic and anaerobic conditions. The results are as follows: Zea. Using a 5-mm segment and a 2-hour transport period anaerobic conditions reduced the total uptake of 14C from an apical donor by 74% and the proportion of the total found in the receiving block by at least 45%. Anaerobic conditions reduced total uptake from a basal donor by 58% but no 14C reached the apical receiving block in either air or N 2. Uptake from apical and basal donor blocks in N 2 is closely similar. The presence of 14C in the basal receiving blocks, and its absence in the apical receiving blocks, in N2 suggests that even in anaerobic conditions movement of IAA is polarized basipetally, although the movement occurs at only a fraction of the rate found in air. Anaerobic conditions induced a similar reduction in basipetal movement of IAA in upper and lower 5-mm segments taken from the apical 10 mm of a Zea coleoptile. Using 10-mm Zea segments no 14C was recovered in the receiving blocks at the basal end of the segment after 2 and 4 hours in N2 whereas large amounts were recovered in air. Avena: Using 5-mm segments and a 2-hour transport period the total uptake of 14C from an apical donor is reduced by 83%. Movement of 14C into the basal donor is totally inhibited in N2. Total uptake of 14C from a basal donor is reduced by 61% in nitrogen and no 14C reached the apical receiving blocks regardless of the atmospheric conditions. A time course for the movement of 14C into the basal and apical receiving blocks through 5-mm segments showed that in air the amount in the basal receivers increased for 4 hours and then remained approximately uniform. In N2 no significant 14C reached the receivers until 6 to 8 hours after the application of donors but even then the amounts were about 12 to 14% of that in aerobic receivers. Movement of 14C into apical receivers was similar in air and in nitrogen and even after 6 to 8 hours the amount of radioactivity barely reached significant levels. 相似文献

The existence of the inactive precursors of yeast proteinases B and C was confirmed in the autolysate of baker’s yeast and they were named as pro-proteinases B and C, respectively. The active and inactive forms of proteinase C were two distinct proteins, separable by chromatographical procedures. The two precursors were markedly activated by incubation at pH 5 or by treatment with denaturing agents, e.g. urea, dioxane, acetone and certain alcohols.These activations were also observed with extracts from acetone-dried cells and from mechanically destructed cells, but the activation of proteinase A was not demonstrated under any conditions tested. Therefore, it was assumed that most of proteinases B and C exist in vivo as inactive precursors, whereas proteinase A originally exists in an active form.Pro-proteinase C, the latent form of yeast proteinase C, was partially purified from the autolysate of baker’s yeast. It was strongly activated by incubation at pH 5 or by treatment with urea or dioxane. The former activation was prevented by treatment to inactivate yeast proteinase A, which co-existed with the pro-enzyme in the present preparation, but was promoted by addition of purified proteinase A. Thus, it was confirmed that A could activate pro-proteinase C. Furthermore, it was found that activation could be caused by extremes in pH or by heating to 55~60°C, accompanied by the simultaneous destruction of the enzyme produced. Pro-proteinase C was stable over a range of pH 5 to 8 after 60 min incubation at 50°C. 相似文献

ObjectivesTo investigate mycothiol peroxidase (MPx) of Corynebacterium glutamicum that is a novel CysGPx family peroxidase using both the mycoredoxin and thioredoxin reducing systems as proton donors for peroxide detoxification and may be involved in the relief of acid stress. ResultsA Δmpx mutant exhibited significantly decreased resistance to acid stress and markedly increased accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and protein carbonylation levels in vivo. Over-expression of mpx increased the resistance of C. glutamicum to acid stress by reducing ROS accumulation. The stress-responsive extracytoplasmic function-sigma (ECF-σ) factor, SigH, mediated acid-induced expression of mpx in the wild-type under acid conditions, which in turn directly contributed to tolerance to acid stress. ConclusionMPx is essential for combating acid stress by reducing intracellular ROS levels induced by acid stress in C. glutamicum, which adds a new dimension to the general physiological functions of CysGPx. 相似文献
