水稻白叶枯病菌中超氧阴离子的非酶来源分析

以电子自旋共振法及羟胺氧化法检测超氧阴离子,分析水稻白叶枯病原细菌OS-14细胞中超氧阴离子的来源。结果显示,OS-14细胞中的超氧阴离子释放活性主要位于胞外,因此胞外组分很可能为主要的释放位点。实验从多个角度排除了胞外组分中蛋白质酶类分子对超氧阴离子释放贡献的可能性,有机酸分子有可能是水稻白叶枯病菌OS-14细胞胞外组分中超氧阴离子释放的非酶分子。

互作对水稻白叶枯病菌JXOⅢ和JXOⅤ超氧阴离子释放的调控

水稻白叶枯病菌能够引起水稻的白叶枯病等一系列水稻病害。水稻白叶枯病菌JXOⅢ和JXOⅤ细胞中超氧阴离子的释放水平存在显著的差异,并进一步显示在两者亚细胞组分的超氧阴离子释放水平上。这种差异暗示致病性不同的病原菌中,O2^-可能具有信号传导及毒性因子的不同作用。亲和性不同的植物一病原菌互作过程对病原菌JXOⅢ和JXOⅤ的超氧阴离子释放具有不同的调控作用。对自身O2^-水平很低的JXOⅢ来说,亲和互作和非亲和互作过程都可诱导JXOⅢ中O2^-的释放;然而在自身听水平较高的JXOⅤ中,则随亲和性不同而表现出诱导或抑制的不同调控作用。无论是在JXOⅢ还是在JXOⅤ中,互作后分离得到的病原菌仍然能够显示出互作对其O2^-释放的显著影响,这种调控作用很可能具有一定的遗传稳定性。虽然机制还不清楚,但是推测这种调控可能和互作的走向相关。

Isolation and characterization of a co-producer of fengycins and surfactins, endophytic Bacillus amyloliquefaciens ES-2, from Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi

An endophytic bacterium was isolated from Chinese medicinal plant Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi. The phylogenetic and physiological characzterization indicated that the isolate, strain ES-2, was Bacillus amyloliquefaciens, which produced two families of secondary metabolites with broad-spectrum antibacterial and antifungal activities. Culture filtrate of ES-2 displayed antagonism against some phytopathogenic, food-borne pathogenic and spoilage bacteria and fungi owing to the existence of antimicrobial compounds. A HPLC-MS analysis showed two series of ion peaks from the culture filtrate. A further electrospray ionization/collision-induced dissociation spectrum revealed that the two series ion peaks represented different fengycin homologues and surfactin homologues, respectively, which had a potential for food preservation and the control of several fungal plant diseases.     

The effect of UV radiation on O-7 Actinomycete in producing bioactive compounds in different growth conditions

Actinomycetes have been identified as an origin of many secondary metabolites, antibiotics and active components that impact microbial growth. Mediated mutations using UV in practice for the breeding of organisms. The objective of this study is to analyses the impact of UV radiation on the (O-7) Actinomycete isolate. This was a prospective analytical study of a several of actinomycetes. The isolates were screened for antimicrobial efficacy against multiple Gram-positive, Gram-negative bacteria, yeast, and fungi. Various factors such as UV, temperature, pH, light, agitation, fermentation durations and aeration have also been boosted for optimal antimicrobial production. The isolate (O-7) Actinomycete has been recognized as a highly bioactive producing organism. The isolate was exposed to various wavelengths, times under numerous growth conditions. It was found that 4% concentration of glucose as a carbon source is significantly optimal for the production of antibiotic for (O-7) UV exposed strain, however, concentration of 1% of lactose is significantly optimal for the production of antibiotic for (O-7) UV exposed strain. Yeast extract at a concentration of 1% was found to be the best source of nitrogen for (O-7) UV exposed, while pH 7.0 was found to be the most suitable for the same isolate. From the temperature optimization study, it was observed that (O-7) exposed strain showed good growth and maximum antibiotic production at 28 °C. The soil-isolated biological compounds (O-7) were effective against certain types of bacteria and fungi, and the research also demonstrated that exposure to UV radiation enhanced the production of these compounds.     

Interaction between bacteria and the domoic-acid-producing diatom Pseudo-nitzschia multiseries (Hasle) Hasle; can bacteria produce domoic acid autonomously?

The interaction between bacteria and phytoplankton is increasingly becoming recognised as an important factor in the physiology of toxin production and the dynamics of harmful algal blooms (HABs). Bacteria can play a direct or indirect role in the production of biotoxins once solely attributed to microalgae. Evidence implicating bacteria as an autonomous source paralytic shellfish poisoning biotoxins raises the question of autonomous bacterial toxigenesis of the neurotoxin domoic acid (DA), the cause of amnesic shellfish poisoning. Here, we examine whether the previously observed bacterial enhancement of DA production by Pseudo-nitzschia multiseries (Hasle) Hasle may be attributable to independent biotoxin production by the extra-cellular bacteria associated with this diatom. The growth and toxicity of six cultures of xenic P. multiseries clone CLN-1 were followed for 24 days. Up to day 14 (mid-stationary phase), DA production was not statistically different among culture flasks. On day 14, P. multiseries cells were removed by gentle filtration from a set of triplicate flasks, leaving the bacteria in the filtrate. Following the removal of the algal cells, DA in the filtrate ceased to increase. Instead, DA levels continuously declined. A follow-up experiment determined that this was likely caused by photodegradation rather than by bacterial degradation. We conclude that after removing P. multiseries cells, the extra-cellular bacteria remaining in the filtrate were incapable of autonomous DA toxigenesis, even in the presence of P. multiseries exudates. However, scanning electron microscopy revealed that P. multiseries cells harboured epiphytic bacteria, the importance of which can still not be ruled out in DA production.     

Lipopolysaccharide and mouse virulence of Salmonella: O antigen is important after intraperitoneal but not intravenous challenge

Abstract The quality of the O-antigenic polysaccharide part of the cell wall lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is a virulence determinant in Salmonella strains: isogenic derivatives with antigen O-4,12 have been shown to be more virulent than those with O-6,7 when given intraperitoneally (i.p.) to mice. The O-6,7 LPS activates complement by the alternative pathway more efficiently than does O-4,12. We show here that the O-6,7 (but not O-4,12) bacteria were rapidly killed in the peritoneal cavity of the mice, resulting in approx. 100-fold reduced numbers of bacteria reaching the liver; the subsequent rate of growth of the bacteria was not affected. After intravenous challenge, both O-6,7 and O-4,12 sister strains survived equally well in the liver and spleen and were of approximately equal virulence. We suggest that the rapid activation of complement by the O-6,7 LPS leads to the killing of these bacteria by the peritoneal cells and thereby to reduced virulence.     

A New Phytotoxic Activity of the Cyclic Peptides Tentoxin and Dihydrotentoxin

Extracts of culture filtrate of the phytopathogenic fungus Alternaria alternata (Fries) Keissler cause distinct wilting of cuts of the problem weed Galium aparine L. We were able to demonstrate that the cyclic tetrapeptides tentoxin and dihydrotentoxin were reponsible for this effect. A tentoxin derivative, isolated from the culture filtrate, shows a similar, but stronger wilting activity.     

NMR characterization of endogenously O-acetylated oligosaccharides isolated from tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) xyloglucan

Eight oligosaccharide subunits, generated by endoglucanase treatment of the plant polysaccharide xyloglucan isolated from the culture filtrate of suspension-cultured tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) cells, were structurally characterized by NMR spectroscopy. These oligosaccharides, which contain up to three endogenous O-acetyl substituents, consist of a cellotetraose core with alpha-D-Xylp residues at O-6 of the two beta-D-Glcp residues at the non-reducing end of the core. Some of the alpha-D-Xylp residues themselves bear either an alpha-L-Arap or a beta-D-Galp residue at O-2. O-Acetyl substituents are located at O-6 of the unbranched (internal) beta-D-Glcp residue, O-6 of the terminal beta-D-Galp residue, and/or at O-5 of the terminal alpha-L-Arap residue. Structural assignments were facilitated by long-range scalar coupling interactions observed in the high-resolution gCOSY spectra of the oligosaccharides. The presence of five-bond scalar coupling constants in the gCOSY spectra provides a direct method of assigning O-acetylation sites, which may prove generally useful in the analysis of O-acylated glycans. Spectral assignment of these endogenously O-acetylated oligosaccharides makes it possible to deduce correlations between their structural features and the chemical shifts of diagnostic resonances in their NMR spectra.     

Bacterial uptake of algal extracellular products: an experimental approach

Methods for partitioning planktonic algal and bacterial populations were examined. If samples were filtered under gravity through a 1 μm pore size Nuclepore polycarbonate membrane the algae were retained on the filter and most (usually > 80%) of the bacteria were found in the filtrate. The application of any vacuum or pressure during this process resulted in the appearance of chlorophyll in the filtrate. In radiotracer experiments this would lead to an overestimate of ¹⁴C incorporation into the bacteria. There was excellent agreement between measurements of partition efficiency by epifluorescence direct counts of bacteria and by uptake of trace quantities of tritiated glucose. The methods were applied to the measurement of algal excretion of dissolved organic matter and its uptake by bacteria over light-dark cycles. An illuminated water bath was adapted to provide shortened (3–24 h) light-dark cycles which could be used to examine interactions between individual algal and bacterial species. Estimates of bacterial heterotrophic production based on the assimilation of labelled algal extracellular products were lower than those calculated from the incorporation of SO^2-₄.     

Transmembrane potential variations accompanying the PMA-triggered O-2 and H2O2 release by mouse peritoneal macrophages

Stimulation by PMA of Streptococci-elicited macrophages induced a transient membrane depolarization preceding the onset of detectable O-2 production. Mice-resident peritoneal macrophages were unresponsive to PMA for both activities. The PMA-triggered membrane depolarization seemed to be independent from O-2 production because inhibition of membrane depolarization by EGTA had no effect on rates of O-2 or H2O2 release and rate of antimycin A insensitive O2 uptake by Streptococci-elicited macrophages. The portion of O2 uptake recovered as O-2 was found to be 1/3. The rate of O-2 release was twice the rate of H2O2 production (1.1 nmol H2O2.min-1 X 10(6) macrophages-1).     

Diverse involvements of Ni protein in superoxide anion production in polymorphonuclear leukocytes depending on the type of membrane stimulants

Effects of islet-activating protein (IAP) were examined to assess the involvement of the guanine nucleotide-binding regulatory protein responsible for inhibition of adenylate cyclase system (Ni protein) in the superoxide anion (O-2) production in polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNL) stimulated with various agents. N-Formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (FMLP)-stimulated O-2 production was inhibited by the pretreatment with IAP. O-2 production induced by each of phorbol myristate acetate, concanavalin A, and A23187, however, was rather resistant to the pretreatment with IAP. This observation indicates that the Ni protein does not involve in the common pathway for the O-2 production. in PMNL, and the involvement is rather specific for the FMLP-induced production. O-2 production in PMNL stimulated with various membrane perturbing agents was also diverse in the requirement of extracellular Ca2+.     

The lipopolysaccharides of the phytopathogen Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris induce an oxidative burst reaction in cell cultures of Nicotiana tabacum

The lipopolysaccharides (LPSXcc) of the phytopathogenic bacteria Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris (X.c.c.) were purified from an exopolysaccharide-deficient mutant strain. The isolated LPSxcc induced an oxidative burst reaction in cell-suspension cultures of the non-host plant tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) SRI. The oxidative burst elicited by LPSXcc differed from that induced by yeast elicitor (YE), a cell wall preparation of baker's yeast. The LPSXcc-induced oxidative burst was characterised by a slow increase in H2O2 production and an extended decline. Both the LPSXcc-and YE-induced oxidative bursts were completely blocked by the NAD(P)H-oxidase inhibitor diphenylene-iodonium. When LPSXcc and YE were applied in combination, a synergistic effect and the establishment of refractory states in the generation of H2O2 were observed. The amount of cytosolic calcium was measured in transgenic tobacco cell cultures carrying the apoaequorin gene by coelenterazine-derived chemiluminescence. Whereas YE induced a calcium peak within 1 min after application, LPSXcc induced a long-term calcium signal without transients. To our knowledge this is the first report on the elicitation of an oxidative burst in plant cell cultures by isolated LPS of a phytopathogenic bacterium.
