The genus-specific surface protein antigens of Azospirillum brasilense strains were visualized immunochemically. The procedure used for cell sample preparation was optimized to ensure that the surface protein structures were detected on cells in situ. Gold and gold-silver nanoparticles were conjugated to antibodies raised against the flagellin of A. brasilense type strain Sp7, against the lipopolysaccharide of A. brasilense Sp245, and against the genus-specific protein determinants of A. brasilense Sp7. Electron microscopic analysis using nanoparticle-labeled antibodies revealed antigenic determinants of the polar flagellum on the A. brasilense Sp245 cell surface, which in these bacteria are normally screened from the surroundings by a lipopolysaccharide sheath. Pili-like structures were detected on the Sp245 wild-type strain and on its Fla– Swa– Omegon-Km mutant SK048, which are presumably involved in microcolonial spreading in these bacteria. 相似文献

A comparative immunochemical analysis of lipopolysaccharides (LPS) in Azospirillum brasilense model strains Sp7 and Sp245 and in mutants with altered somatic antigens has been performed. According to the results of a complex of various immunochemical methods, including studies with polyclonal antibodies against the LPS these bacteria, their LPS consist of an assembly of macromolecules with different antigenic characteristics. Two types of O-specific polysaccharides (O-PS) are present in the LPS of every strain of A. brasilense under study. The major difference between the two O-PS is the antigenic heterogeneity of one of them. This heterogeneous O-PS has been shown to possess at least two O-factors (antigenic determinants) different in their structure. Meanwhile, according to all the tests performed, the other O-PS in every strain is immunochemically homogeneous and identical to one of the determinants revealed in the more diversified O-PS. The LPS heterogeneity among the given strains may be due to the pattern of O-specific polysaccharide synthesis, one of the O-PS being an intermediate in the synthesis of the other. 相似文献

Filaments of the flagellum of the halophilic archaeon Halobacterium salinarum consist of five flagellins: A1, A2, B1, B2, and B3, which are encoded by five genes localized in tandem in two flgA and flgB operons. While the role of flagellins A1 and A2 has been determined, the role of the proteins, B operon products, is still unclear. A mutant strain of H. salinarum with deleted A and B flagellin genes (ΔflgAΔflgB) has been obtained for the first time. This strain has been used to create and analyze the strains carrying only individual B1 or B3 flagellin genes. Cells of the ΔflgAΔflgB strain were shown to have short filamentous formations, 7–8 nm thick, which we have named as X-filaments. It has been shown that X-filaments consist of a protein immunologically related to flagellins A and B. Expression of the B1 and B3 genes is suppressed in the absence of A1, A2, and B2. It has been shown that flagellins B1 and B3 cannot be substituted for flagellin B2 upon the formation of a curved hook-like structure, which serves as a connecting element between the flagellar filament and the motor axis. The multicomponent nature of flagella is discussed in the light of their possible involvement in other cell processes besides providing motility. 相似文献

This study analyzes the effects of procyanidin B2 on early wheat plant growth and plant biochemical responses promoted by lipopolysaccharides (LPS) derived from the rhizobacteria Azospirillum brasilense Sp245. Measurements of leaf, root length, fresh weight, and dry weight showed in vitro plant growth stimulation 4 days after treatment with A. brasilense as well as LPS. Superoxide anion (O2 ·?) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) levels increased in seedling roots treated with LPS (100 μg mL?1). The chlorophyll content in leaf decreased while the starch content increased 24 h after treatment in seedling roots. The LPS treatment induced a high increase in total peroxidase (POX) (EC 1.11.1.7) activity and ionically bound cell wall POX content in roots, when compared to respective controls. Early plant growth and biochemical responses observed in wheat seedlings treated with LPS were inhibited by the addition of procyanidin B2 (5 μg mL?1), a B type proanthocyanidin (PAC), plant-derived polyphenolic compound with binding properties of LPS. All results suggest first that the ionically bound cell wall POX enzymes could be a molecular target of A. brasilense LPS, and second that the recognition or association of LPS by plant cells is required to activate plant responses. This last event could play a critical role during plant growth regulation by A. brasilense LPS. 相似文献

Effect of the carbon source in the culture medium and of the growth phase on the composition and structure of the capsular polysaccharides (CPSs) and lipopolysaccharides (LPSs) of the bacterium Azospirillum brasilense Sp245 was studied. Growth with fructose resulted in an increased carbohydrate content in the CPSs, while long-term cultivation resulted in an increased content of phosphorus in both CPSs and LPSs. The LPSs produced on the medium with fructose (regardless of the cultivation duration) and the LPSs of the bacteria grown with sodium malate until the stationary phase were characterized by higher levels of unsaturated fatty acids than the LPSs of the bacteria grown with sodium malate to the late exponential phase. The structures of the polysaccharides from the isolated glycopolymers were established using monosaccharide analysis, including determination of the absolute configurations and 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopy. This study is the first to report that the CPS of A. brasilense Sp245 grown with sodium malate to the end of the exponential phase is structurally identical to the O-polysaccharide from the LPS of this bacterium and that the LPS and CPS of A. brasilense Sp245 grown with fructose contain an additional homoglucan of the following structure: [→3)-α-D-Glcp-(1→] n . 相似文献

It is known that in Azospirillum brasilense strains Sp245 and SR75 included in serogroup I, the repeat units of their O-polysaccharides consist of five residues of D-rhamnose, and in strain SR15, of four; and the heteropolymeric O-polysaccharide of A. brasilense type strain Sp7 from serogroup II contains not less than five types of repeat units. In the present work, a complex of nondegenerate primers to the genes of A. brasilense Sp245 plasmids AZOBR_p6, AZOBR_p3, and AZOBR_p2, which encode putative enzymes for the biosynthesis of core oligosaccharide and O-polysaccharide of lipopolysaccharide, capsular polysaccharides, and exopolysaccharides, was proposed. By using the designed primers, products of the expected sizes were synthesized in polymerase chain reactions on genomic DNA of A. brasilense Sp245, SR75, SR15, and Sp7 in 36, 29, 23, and 12 cases, respectively. As a result of sequencing of a number of amplicons, a high (86–99%) level of identity of the corresponding putative polysaccharide biosynthesis genes in three A. brasilense strains from serogroup I was detected. In a blotting-hybridization reaction with the biotin-labeled DNA of the A. brasilense gene AZOBR_p60122 coding for putative permease of the ABC transporter of polysaccharides, localization of the homologous gene in ~120-MDa plasmids of the bacteria A. brasilense SR15 and SR75 was revealed. 相似文献

The capacities of relatively nontoxic lipopolysaccharide (LPS) from Rhodobacter capsulatus PG and highly potent LPS from Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium to evoke proinflammatory cytokine production have been compared in vivo. Intravenous administration of S. enterica LPS at a relatively low dose (1 mg/kg body weight) led to upregulation of TNF-α, IL-6, and IFN-γ production by non-sensitized CD-1 mice. LPS from R. capsulatus PG used at a four-times higher dose than that from S. enterica elicited production of almost the same amount of systemic TNF-α; therefore, the doses of 4 mg/kg LPS from R. capsulatus PG and 1 mg/kg LPS from S. enterica were considered to be approximately equipotential doses with respect to the LPS-dependent TNF-α production by CD-1 mice. Rhodobacter capsulatus PG LPS was a weaker inducer of the production of TNF-α, IL-6, and IFN-γ, as compared to the equipotential dose of S. enterica LPS. Administration of R. capsulatus PG LPS before S. enterica LPS decreased production of IFN-γ, but not of TNF-α and IL-6, induced by S. enterica LPS. Rhodobacter capsulatus PG LPS also suppressed IFN-γ production induced by S. enterica LPS when R. capsulatus PG LPS had been injected as little as 10 min after S. enterica LPS, but to a much lesser extent. Rhodobacter capsulatus PG LPS did not affect TNF-α and IL-6 production induced by the equipotential dose of S. enterica LPS. In order to draw conclusion on the endotoxic activity of particular LPSs, species-specific structure or arrangement of the animal or human immune systems should be considered. 相似文献

Herein, we reveal the alteration in phenol oxidase enzymes complex production from Azospirillum brasilense Sp245 omegon mutants with polar and lateral flagella dysfunction and from A. brasilense Sp7 phase variants with different plasmid composition. The enzymatic activities for various laccases, tyrosinases, Mnperoxidases, and lignin peroxidases as well as the isomorphic composition of intracellular laccases and tyrosinases were estimated for the studied variants and the parent strains. It was noted that various genetic events correlating with phenotypic heterogeneity in A. brasilense populations affect their phenol oxidase activity level. 相似文献

The accumulation of nanoparticles of colloidal silver with spherical shape in culture liquid of Azospirillum brasilense has been shown by transmission electron microscopy. Bacterial extracellular Mn-peroxidases were found to participate in silver reduction from silver nitrate with the formation of nanoparticles. A mechanism of extracellular biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles by A. brasilense bacteria was proposed. 相似文献

This study examined the co-immobilization of the cyanobacterium Synechococcus elongatus with the plant growth-promoting bacterium Azospirillum brasilense in alginate beads and its potential application for the removal of phosphorus from aquaculture wastewater. Co-immobilization of both microorganisms significantly increased the cell density of S. elongatus (2852.5?×?104 cells mL?1) compared with that of immobilization of cyanobacteria alone (1325.2?×?104 cells mL?1). Chlorophyll a content was similar in co-immobilized (11.1?±?3.5 pg cell?1) and immobilized S. elongatus (14.5?±?4.9 pg cell?1). Azospirillum brasilense showed continuous growth until day 2, after which its cell concentration declined until the end of the assay. Co-immobilized S. elongatus removed more phosphorus (44.8 %) than immobilized cyanobacteria cells alone (32.0 %). In conclusion, phosphate removal was greater with free cells of S. elongatus but overlapped with the values that were obtained with the treatment of co-immobilization of cells. Our results demonstrate that A. brasilense enhances the growth of S. elongatus and improves its removal of phosphorus when they are co-immobilized in alginate beads compared with only immobilization of cyanobacteria cells alone. 相似文献

The lipopolysaccharide (LPS) of Escherichia coli 126 was isolated and studied. The lipid A fatty acid composition of the investigated LPS was similar to that of other members of the family Enterobacteriaceae. The E. coli 126 LPS was more toxic than the LPSs of previously studied E. coli strains and of other members of the Enterobacteriaceae (Budvicia aquatica and Pragia fontium), and was less pyrogenic than pyrogenal. SDS-PAG electrophoresis showed a bimodal distribution typical of S-form LPSs. The LPS of E. coli 126 decreased the adhesive index indicating a possible competition between LPS molecules of E. coli 126 and adhesins of E. coli F-50 on rabbit erythrocytes. The LPS of E. coli 126 in a homologous system showed antigenic activity in the reactions of double immunodiffusion in agar by Ouchterlony. No serological cross-reaction of the LPS of other E. coli strains, as well as of that of the B. aquatica type strain, with the antiserum to E. coli 126 was observed. The structural components of the lipopolysaccharide obtained by mild acid hydrolysis were lipid A, the core oligosaccharide, and the O-specific polysaccharide. Based on the data of monosaccharide analysis and 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy it was found that the O-specific polysaccharide had the structure characteristic of the representatives of E. coli serogroup O15. 相似文献

Thiamine release during synthetic mutualism between Chlorella sorokiniana co-immobilized in alginate beads with the microalgae growth-promoting bacterium Azospirillum brasilense was measured under stress conditions of pH, light intensity, and nitrogen starvation in short-term experiments. Thiamine release in the co-immobilized treatment was significantly higher at acidic pH compared to thiamine released by either microorganism alone. Under slightly alkaline pH, C. sorokiniana released the highest amount of thiamine. At stressful pH 6, the co-immobilized treatment released a higher quantity of thiamine than the sum of thiamine released by either microorganisms when immobilized separately. Release of thiamine by C. sorokiniana alone or co-immobilized was light intensity dependent; with higher the light intensity, more thiamine was released. Extreme light intensity negatively affected growth of the microalgae and release of thiamine. Nitrogen starvation during the first 24 h of culturing negatively affected release of thiamine by both microorganisms, where C. sorokiniana was more severely affected. Partial or continuous nitrogen starvation had similar negative effects on C. sorokiniana, but co-immobilization improved thiamine release. These results indicate that thiamine is released during synthetic mutualism between C. sorokiniana and A. brasilense, and this happens specifically during the alleviation of pH stress in the microalgae. 相似文献

The development of Fusarium culmorum and Pseudomonas fluorescens in soil, and the relations between them, were studied using membrane filters containing the fungus, the bacterium, or both microorganisms; the filters were incubated in soil. F. culmorum was identified by indirect immunofluorescence; the GUS-labeled strain was used to visualize P. fluorescens. It was found that F. culmorum introduced in soil can develop as a saprotroph, with the formation of mycelium, macroconidia, and a small amount of chlamydospores. Introduction of glucose and cellulose resulted in increased density of the F. culmorum mycelium and macroconidia. P. fluorescens suppressed the development of the F. culmorum mycelium in soil, but stimulated chlamydospore formation. Decreased mycelial density in the presence of P. fluorescens was more pronounced in soil without additions and less pronounced in the case of introduction of glucose or cellulose. F. culmorum had no effect on P. fluorescens growth in soil. 相似文献

Azospirillum sp. is one of the most studied genera of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR). The ability of Azospirillum sp. to promote plant growth has been associated with its ability to produce several phytohormones, such as auxins, gibberellins and cytokinins, but mainly indole-3-acetic acid (IAA). It has been propoosed that the production of IAA explains the positive effects of co-inoculation with Azospirillum sp. on the rhizobia-legume symbiosis. In this study, we constructed an IAA-deficient mutant of A. brasilense Az39 (ipdC ? ) by using a restriction-free cloning method. We inoculated soybean seeds with 1·106 cfu·seed?1 of Bradyrhizobium japonicum E109 and co-inoculating leaves at the V3 stage with 1·108 cfu.plant?1 of A. brasilense Az39 wt or ipdC ? or inoculated leaves with 20 μg.plant?1 synthetic IAA. The results confirmed soybean growth promotion as there was increased total plant and root length, aerial and root dry weight, number of nodules on the primary root, and an increase in the symbiosis established with B. japonicum E109. Nodule weight also increased after foliar co-inoculation with the IAA- producer A. brasilense Az39. The exogenous application of IAA decreased aerial and root length, as well as the number of nodules on primary roots in comparison with the Az39 wt strain. These results allow us to propose a biological model of response to foliar co-inoculation of soybean with IAA-producing rhizobacteria. This model clearly shows that both the presence of microorganism as part of the colonization process and the production of IAA in situ are co-responsible, via plant signaling molecules, for the positive effects on plant growth and symbiosis establishment. 相似文献

The dynamics of antagonistic potency of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) isolated from Rhodobacter capsulatus PG on the synthesis of proinflammatory (TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-8, IL-6, IFN-γ) and antiinflammatory (IL-10, IL-1Ra) cytokines induced by highly stimulatory endotoxins from Escherichia coli or Salmonella enterica have been studied. Using human whole blood, we have shown that R. capsulatus PG LPS inhibited most pronouncedly the endotoxin-induced synthesis of TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-8, and IL-6 during the first 6 h after endotoxin challenge. Similarly, the endotoxin-induced release of IFN-γ was abolished by R. capsulatus PG LPS as well (24 h). In contrast to the above-mentioned cytokines, the relatively weak antagonistic activity of R. capsulatus PG LPS against endotoxin-triggered production of IL-6 and IL-8 was revealed. Since R. capsulatus PG LPS displays more potent antagonistic activity against deleterious effects of S. enterica LPS than those of E. coli LPS in the cases of such cytokines as IL-1β (6 and 24 h), IL-6 and IL-8 (4 h), we conclude that the effectiveness of protective action of antagonist is mostly determined by the primary lipid A structure of the employed agonist. 相似文献

The previously obtained insertion mutants of Azospirillum brasilense Sp245 in the genes mmsB1 and fabG1 (strains SK039 and Sp245.1610, respectively) were characterized by impaired flagellation and motility. The putative products of expression of these genes are 3-hydroxyisobutyrate dehydrogenase and 3-oxoacyl-[acyl-carrier protein] reductase, respectively. In the present work, A. brasilense strains Sp245, SK039, and Sp245.1610 were found to have differences in the content of 3-hydroxyhexadecanoic, hexadecanoic, 3-hydroxytetradecanoic, hexadecenoic, octadecenoic, and nonadecanoic acids in their lipopolysaccharide preparations, as well as in cell hydrophobicity and hemagglutination activity and dynamics of cell aggregation, in biomass amount, and in the relative content of lipopolysaccharide antigens in mature biofilms formed on hydrophilic or hydrophobic surfaces. 相似文献

The prevalence of antibodies to morbilliviruses, Brucella and Toxoplasma was studied in the Black Sea bottlenose dolphin Tursiops truncatus ponticus maintained in captivity. Serum from 59 dolphins was tested, and in most cases the tests were repeated 2–4 years later. Antibodies to the tested pathogens were detected in 69% of the dolphins. Sixteen Black Sea bottlenose dolphin maintained in captivity (27%) had antibodies to two, or even three, of the pathogens. No apparent signs of infection were found in the dolphins; however, the high prevalence of antibodies to the morbilliviruses, Brucella, and Toxoplasma may indicate an important role of dolphins in the ecology of these pathogens. 相似文献

The effect of the excretory-secretory products of some fouling animals on the settling and metamorphosis of larvae of the solitary ascidian Styela rustica was assessed. The substances secreted by the sponge Halichondria panicea stimulated settling of larvae, but concurrently blocked their metamorphosis. The excretory-secretory products of the mussel Mytilus edulis and the ascidian Molgula citrine did not affect settling of the S. rustica larvae but impeded their subsequent development. Water conditioned by the bivalve Hiatella arctica, stimulated settling and, apparently, metamorphosis of the larvae of S. rustica. The chemical substances produced by adult individuals of S. rustica facilitated settling of conspecific larvae but slightly delayed their metamorphosis. 相似文献

We evaluated the effect of lipopolysaccharides from the plant-growth-promoting associative bacterium Azospirillum brasilense Sp245 and from the enteric bacterium Escherichia coli K12 on the morphogenic potential of in vitro-growing somatic calluses of soft spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L. cv. Saratovskaya 29). A genetic model was used that included two near-isogenic lines of T. aestivum L. cv. Saratovskaya 29 with different embryogenic capacities; one of these lines carries the Rht-B1 dwarfing gene, whereas the other lacks it. When added to the nutrient medium, the lipopolysaccharide of A. brasilense Sp245 promoted the formation of calluses with meristematic centers and stimulated the regeneration ability of the cultured tissues in both lines. By contrast, the lipopolysaccharide of the enteric bacterium E. coli K12 barely affected the morphogenetic activity of callus cells and the yield of morphogenic calluses and regenerated plants. These findings indicate that the lipopolysaccharide of the plant-growth-promoting associative bacterium A. brasilense Sp245 specifically enhances the morphogenetic activity of wheat somatic tissues, which increases the efficacy of culturing of genotypes with a relatively low morphogenic potential. The results of the study may contribute to the improvement of the efficacy of plant cell selection and gene engineering and to a better understanding of the mechanisms responsible for plant recognition of lipopolysaccharides of associative bacteria. 相似文献
