粘质沙雷氏菌产2,3-丁二醇培养基的优化

研究了各种碳源、氮源、柠檬酸及无机盐对细胞生长与产物形成的影响,通过单因子、正交及中心组合设计响应面分析优化发酵培养基。结果表明在培养基中添加柠檬酸不但可以促进细胞生长与糖耗速度,还可以缩短发酵周期,提高2,3-丁二醇的产量。采用优化后的培养基,2,3-丁二醇的产量由14.03g/L增加到39.27g/L,提高了近3倍。     

粘质沙雷氏菌的电镜观察

用扫描电镜和透射电镜对粘质沙雷氏菌(Serratia marcescens)的临界点干燥标本和负染标本作了观察,均可见到细胞表面常有一至二个直径为0.12～0.24μm的颗粒。在超薄切片中颗粒则有两种不同的结构:一种是外膜泡(Outer membrane vesicle);另一种是致密体(Dense body)。致密体可能是一种分泌性颗粒,它既不是内部的贮存物,也不似外部进来的异物。它们看来形成于细胞质内后分泌到细胞外。在细菌中这是一种罕见现象。有关致密体的化学性质和功能尚不清楚。文中指出粘质沙雷氏菌的纲胞表面也具有茂密的菌毛(Pili)。     

温度对粘质沙雷氏菌合成灵菌红素的影响

【目的】研究粘质沙雷氏菌(Serratia marcecens JNB5-1)在不同发酵温度(28℃和37℃)条件下蛋白质组的差异表达,探究粘质沙雷氏菌合成灵菌红素受温度调控的原因。【方法】利用二维凝胶电泳(2-DE)和基质辅助激光解析电离飞行时间串联质谱技术(MALDI-TOF-MS)分离和鉴定粘质沙雷氏菌在不同发酵温度(28℃和37℃)条件下的差异蛋白;再利用实时荧光定量PCR(RT-qPCR)进一步分析挑选出的七个差异蛋白编码基因的转录水平。【结果】2-DE图谱显示,共鉴定到16个显著差异的蛋白点。其中,灵菌红素合成途径中的氧甲基转移酶(PigF)、氧化还原酶(PigN)和参与灵菌红素前体物质(脯氨酸、甲硫氨酸、丝氨酸、二辛烯醛和丙二酰-CoA等)代谢的相关蛋白(酶)的表达量在37℃条件下都出现极显著的下降;热休克蛋白(Hsp60)、超氧化物歧化酶(Superoxide dismutase)等应急性蛋白在37℃条件下表达上调。通过RT-qPCR证实,氧甲基转移酶、氧化还原酶和转酮醇酶基因(transketolase)在37℃条件下的转录水平均低于28℃条件下的。【结论】S.marcecens JNB5-1在相对低温(28℃)条件下产灵菌红素,相对高温(37℃)条件下不产灵菌红素。可能是高温(37℃)显著抑制了灵菌红素合成相关酶的表达。

Stimulation and inhibition of polymorphonuclear leukocytes phagocytosis by lipoamino acids isolated from Serratia marcescens

Abstract The role of the lipoamino acids (serratamolide and ornithine lipid), membrane lipid components of Serratia marcescens , was examined in phagocytosis and phagosome-lysosome fusion of human peripheral polymorphonuclear leukocytes. A mutant strain of Serratia marcescens (NS 38-09) lacking serratamolide was actively phagocytosed by human PMN, while the wild-type strain (NS 38) producing serratamolide was more resistant to phagocytosis by human PMN. Phagocytosis of killed Staphylococcus aureus coated with lipoamino acid (serratamolide), showed that they were more resistant to phagocytosis by PMN, while the cells coated with ornithine lipid or serratamic acid were phagocytosed more actively. Staphylococci coated with phosphatidylethanolamine or phosphatidylglycerol had no significant effect on phagocytosis by PMN. Phagosome-lysosome fusion by PMN labelled with acridine orange was examined by fluorescence microscopy. The fusion indices of lipoamino acid-coated staphylococci were the same as that of controls. Further, ornithine lipid-coated staphylococci stimulated the release of superoxide anion from PMN slightly, but serratamolide did not. These results suggested that serratamolide may contribute to the virulence of S. marcescens in vitro.     

Culture conditions affect cytotoxin production by Serratia marcescens

Abstract Cytotoxins have been implicated in the pathogenesis of bacterial infections. In this study, the influence of different culture conditions was evaluated on cytotoxin production by Serratia marcescens . Parameters such as culture media, incubation temperature, starting pH of culture medium, aeration, anaerobiosis, carbon sources, iron concentration in the culture media, and release of cell-bound toxin by polymyxin B were investigated. The data suggest that this cytotoxin is predominantly extracellular and is not induced by iron limitation. Aerobic culture with shaking resulted in higher cytotoxicity than static aerobic or anaerobic culture. Bacteria grown in glucose, sucrose or galactose were more cytotoxic than those grown in inositol or maltose. The culture conditions that were identified as optimal for cytotoxin production by Serratia marcescens were incubation temperature ranging from 30 to 37°C, in medium adjusted to pH 8.5, with shaking. This work will contribute to further studies on the identification of this cytotoxic activity.     

粘质沙雷氏菌发酵生产D-乳酸的研究

本文对粘质沙雷氏菌发酵生产D-乳酸进行了研究。以粘质沙雷氏菌G1(Serratia marcescens G1)为出发菌种,摇瓶试验确定了发酵培养方式:前12 h为菌体生长阶段,有氧培养,温度28℃,pH值7.0;后36 h为D-乳酸合成积累阶段,无氧培养,温度44℃,pH值6.0。且发现使用葡萄糖为碳源时更有利于D-乳酸的合成积累。采用缺失2,3-丁二醇合成能力的基因工程菌株R1为出发株,经筛选后得到耐受较高浓度乳酸盐的菌株R150,以R150为发酵菌种,在3.7 L发酵罐上采用两阶段发酵法,并通过增加起始菌体浓度的方法,发酵生成的D-乳酸浓度达到83.5 g/L,光学纯度达到98.9%。本研究成果为使用粘质沙雷氏菌发酵生产D-乳酸的深入研究打下了基础。     

Extracellular haemolytic activity of Serratia marcescens

Blood agar medium with dialysis membrane mounted between two layers of agar was applied to study the haemolytic activity of 28 strains of Serratia marcescens. Two kinds of lytic substances differing with their ability to pass through dialysis membrane were found. Haemolytic activity was not detected in cell-free filtrates from liquid cultures. The discrepancies between haemolytic activity in blood agar media and activity of liquid cultures were observed. Stable attachment of bacterial cells to the erythrocytes was not necessary to lysis. The possibility of extracellular haemolysin is discussed.     

基于易错PCR技术的黏质沙雷氏菌脂肪酶基因LipA的定向进化

The effect of nuclease on transformation efficiency in Serratia marcescens

No differences in the efficiency of transformation were observed from both plasmid and chromosomal DNA in Serratia marcescens 2170 and an extracellular nuclease defective isogenic strain. The efficiency of transformation was the same for Escherichia coli 5K and E. coli containing a recombinant plasmid conferring the ability to synthesize a S. marcescens nuclease. From these results we conclude that the extracellular nuclease of S. marcescens 2170 is not the main cause of the low efficiency of transformation observed in this bacterium.     

Multiple forms of alkaline phosphatase isoenzymes of Serratia marcescens

Alkaline phosphatase (APase) isoenzymes produced by different strains of Serratia marcescens were examined. Variation of isoenzyme patterns with respect to number and their mobilities in starch gels after electrophoresis were observed. Ten strains gave a 1-isoenzyme pattern with 5 different mobilities; 7 strains gave a 2-isoenzyme pattern with 3 different mobilities; 9 strains gave a 3-isoenzyme pattern with 5 different mobilities; and 3 strains gave a 4-isoenzyme pattern. Three strains synthesized two electrophoretically distinct APases in low phosphate medium. A high concentration of inorganic phosphate induced the synthesis of one of these APase isoenzymes.     

Purification and Characterization of Metallo-β-Lactamase from Serratia marcescens

Carbapenem-hydrolyzing β-lactamase from Serratia marcescens FHSM4055 was purified 926-fold by means of carboxylmethyl Sephadex C-50, Sephacryl S-200, and Mono S column chromatography. The molecular weight was 30,000 by SDS-PAGE and the isoelectric point was 8.7. The enzyme activity was inhibited by EDTA, and restored by adding zinc (II) or manganese (II). It was inhibited by p-chloromercuribenzoate and iodine as well as the heavy metals, Hg (II), Fe (II), Fe (III), and Cu (II). These results indicate that the enzyme is a metallo-β-lactamase and that the SH-group of only one cysteine residue probably binds to the metal ion, thus contributing to the stability of the enzyme active center. The specific constant (k_cat/K_m) showed that the enzyme hydrolyzed various β-lactam antibiotics such as carbapenems, cephalosporins, moxalactam, cephamycins, and penicillins other than monobactams. Ampicillin and piperacillin with respective amino- and imino-groups, ceftazidime with a carboxypropyloxyimino-group, and cefclidin with a carbamoylquinuclidine-group were poor substrates among the β-lactam antibiotics other than the monobactams tested. The plots of the turnover number (k_cat) against pH for the hydrolysis of cephaloridine gave an asymmetrical curve with the ‘tail’ on the acid side (pK₁, 5.9; pK₂, 9.0; pK₃, 10.8), whereas those of k_cat/K_m gave a bell-shaped curve (pK₁, 5.8; pK₂, 9.8). Both results suggest that two ionic forms of an intermediate yield the same product at different rates and that the enzyme is stable under alkaline conditions. Since the N-terminal amino acid sequence of 27 residues determined was consistent with that of the metalloenzyme (Antimicrob. Agents Chemother., 1994, 38: 71-78), the above enzymatic characteristics seem to coincide.
