Thirty species of microorganisms (8 bacteria, 9 actinomycetes, 8 fungi and 5 yeasts) were screened for maximal gold accumulation. Extremely high abilities to accumulate gold from a solution containing hydrogen tetrachloroaurate(III) were found in bacterial strains, such as Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas maltophilia. Most of the actinomycetes, fungi and yeasts had lower ability to accumulate gold than bacteria. Some microorganisms could accumulate similar amounts of gold from a solution containing sodium gold(I) thiomalate as those from gold(III) solution. However, most microorganisms tested accumulated far lesser amounts of gold from a solution containing sodium dicyanoaurate(I) than from the other two gold solutions. The accumulation of gold from the solution containing hydrogen tetrachloroaurate(III) by Pseudomonas maltophilia was very rapid, was affected by the pH of the solution, and obeyed the Langmuir adsorption isotherm. Pseudomonas maltophilia cells immobilized in polyacrylamide gel adsorbed gold effectively from the solution containing hydrogen tetrachloroaurate(III). The gold adsorbed on the cells was easily desorbed with 0.1 M thiourea solution. The immobilized Pseudomonas cells could be used repeatedly in the adsorption–desorption cycle using 0.1 M thiourea solution as desorbent. 相似文献

Selective accumulation of heavy metals by microorganisms 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Summary An investigation of the removal and recovery of urnnium from aqueous systems using microbial biomass has been described previously (Nakajima et al. 1982). To establish which microorganisms accumulate the most uranium, we extended our investigation of uranium uptake to 83 species of microorganisms, 32 bacteria, 15 yeasts, 16 fungi and 20 actinomycetes. Of these 83 species of microorganisms tested, extremely high uranium-absorbing ability was found in Pseudomonas stutzeri, Neurospora sitophila, Streptomyces albus and Streptomyces viridochromogenes.The selective accumulation of heavy metal ions by various microorganisms has also been examined. Uranyl, mercury and lead ions were readily accumulated by almost all the species of microorganisms tested. Actinomycetes and fungi differ from many bacteria and most yeasts in their selective accumulation of uranium and mercury.In addition to this fundamental research, uranium recovery was investigated in immobilized Streptomyces albus, a microorganism with high uranium-uptake ability. These immobilized cells adsorbed uranium readily and selectively. The immobilized cells recovered uranium almost quantitatively and almost all uranium absorbed was desorbed with 0.1 M Na2CO3. The dry weight of the free cells decreased by 50% during 5 adsorption-desorption cycles. However, the dry weight of the immobilized cells decreased by only 2% during 5 cycles. These results showed that microbial cells are more stable after immobilization and can be used repeatedly for the process of uranium adsorption-desorption. 相似文献

A screening of 416 microorganisms from different taxonomical groups (bacteria, actinomycetes, yeasts, and filamentous fungi) has been performed looking for active strains in the stereoselective oxidation of secondary alcohols. The working collection was composed of 71 bacterial strains, 45 actinomycetes, 59 yeasts, 60 basidiomycetes, 33 marine fungi, and 148 filamentous fungi. All microorganisms selected were mesophilic. Yeasts were the most active microbial group in the whole-cell-catalyzed oxidation. Williopsis californica, Williopsis saturnus, and Pachysolen tannophilus were the strains of greatest interest, both as growing cells and as resting cells. The oxidation of the alcohols takes place when cells are in the stationary growth phase (after 48 h of culture). These three strains are S-stereoselective for the oxidation of racemic secondary alkanols and show stereospecificity in the oxidation of menthol or neo-menthol, whereas iso-menthol is not oxidized. In the case of the 1-tetrahydronaphtol enantiomers, only the S-enantiomer is oxidized. The three strains were immobilized by entrapment using agarose and agar from algae of the Gracilaria genus. The agarose derivatives displayed significant improvement in the stereospecificity of the reactions. 相似文献

The accumulation of Au(0) by lyophilized preparations of the alga Chlorella vulgaris has been investigated. Gold is bound to the algae upon suspending dried algal cells in solutions containing hydrogen tetrachloroaurate (III). Relative amounts of ionic and atomic algal-bound gold were determined by thiourea extraction. It was found that the amount of algal-bound atomic gold produced from ionic gold increased with time. The effect of algal-bound gold concentration on the rate and extent of gold reduction was observed. It is suggested that at least three different classes of sites are available for gold binding and reduction. The effect of Au(0) accumulation on the binding ability of gold-bound algae was also investigated, and an apparent enhancement of gold binding ability is reported. 相似文献

Summary Fresh sugarcane bagasse was fermented under defined conditions and investigated regarding a microbial succession during fermentation, in view of the enzyme activities of microorganisms against the main bagasse components: sucrose, pectin, hemicellulose, cellulose, and lignin.Altogether, 400 pure cultures of microorganisms were obtained from 8 g bagasse during 6.5 days of storage. This flora consists of bacteria (74%), actinomycetes (6%), yeasts (13%), and fungi (7%). The yeasts dominate in early fermentation, followed by bacteria, and then by actinomycetes and fungi.This succession coincides with the enzymic activities of the isolated organisms during fermentation. At first, residual sugar is consumed predominantly by the yeasts. Then the bacteria degrade the pectin, the hemicellulose, and in parts, the cellulose. Later, the actinomycetes and the fungi imperfecti attack the hemicellulose, the cellulose, and, partly, the lignin within the bagasse fiber.These results are corroborated by investigations using bagasse from bulk storage. 相似文献

A screening for antiviral antibiotics was carried out using paper-disc agar-diffusion method. The microorganisms tested were unidentified soil fungi and the type cultures of our laboratory including actinomycetes, fungi, yeasts and bacteria. Mycelia or cells were extracted with acetone and the antiviral activity of the acetone extracts was determined. The extracts of actinomycetes mycelia showed the highest frequency of the appearance of antiviral activity against Newcastle disease virus. The frequencies of the appearance of antiviral activity in fungal and bacterial type cultures were the same degree and that of yeasts was low. Antiviral activity of the principles thus obtained was studied by microscopic observation in tube cultures using HeLa cells as a host. 相似文献

A variety of microorganisms, including gram-negative and gram-positive eubacteria, actinomycetes, yeasts, and filamentous fungi, were tested for their sensitivity to cadmium (Cd). In general, the actinomycetes were more tolerant to Cd than were the eubacteria; gram-negative eubacteria were more tolerant to Cd than were gram-positive eubacteria. The period of exponential growth of the eubacteria and actinomycetes was extended in the presence of Cd. Wide extremes in sensitivity to Cd were noted among the fungi; there was no correlation between the class of fungus and tolerance to Cd. Fungal sporulation was more sensitive to Cd than was mycelial growth, as spore formation was inhibited at Cd concentrations that were noninhibitory to mycelial proliferation. The toxicity of Cd to the eubacteria, actinomycetes, and fungi appeared to be pH dependent, as toxicity was generally potentiated at pH 8 or 9. 相似文献

Summary A microbial electrode consisting of the immobilized microorganisms to be tested and an oxygen electrode was used to study the assimilation characteristics of microorganisms. When a sample solution containing a substrate was injected into the microbial sensor system, the current of the sensor markedly decreased with time if the microorganisms assimilated the substrate. On the other hand, no current decrease was observed if the microorganisms could not assimilate the substrate. Assimilation characteristics of various microorganisms such as molds, yeasts, bacteria, actinomycetes and activated sludges were tested with various substrates. The time required for a test was 30 min per substrate by the pulse method (sample injection period, 5 min). Good correlations were obtained between this electrochemical method and the conventional growth test. The fundamental differences between the two methods and the application of the electrochemical method are discussed. 相似文献

The effect of cell storage at -18 degrees C for 18-24 months on reproductive capacity was investigated for various microorganisms (gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, yeasts, and filamentous fungi) immobilized in poly(vinyl alcohol) cryogel. To examine the viability of immobilized cells after defrosting, the bioluminescent method of intracellular ATP determination was used. A high level of metabolic activity of immobilized cells after various periods of storage was recorded for Streptomyces anulatus, Rhizopus orvzae, and Escherichia coli, which are producers of the antibiotic aurantin, L(+)-lactic acid, and the recombinant enzyme organophosphate hydrolase, respectively. It was shown that the initial concentration of immobilized cells in cryogel granules plays an important role in the survival of Str. anulatus and Pseudomonas putida after 1.5 years of storage. It was found that, after slow defrosting in the storage medium at 50C for 18 h of immobilized cells of the yeast Saccharomvces cerevisiae that had been stored for nine months, the number of reproductive cells increased due to the formation of ascospores. 相似文献

Native microorganisms in their original form cannot be patented. However, microbes like yeasts, bacteria, protozoa, unicellular algae, fungi, actinomycetes and viruses can be patented if they have been genetically modified. The process and the product obtained can also be patented. 相似文献

Abstract A method using membrane filters of appropriate pore size, to selectively isolate actinomycetes from a mixed population of soil microorganisms, is described.
The method is based on the ability of actinomycetes to propagate and pass through the pores of filters while bacteria and fungi are retained on the membrane surface. 相似文献

The distribution of ω-amino acid transaminases in microorganisms was investigated, ω-Amino acid: pyruvate transaminase (ω-APT) was found in bacteria and yeasts, but not in actinomycetes and fungi. On the contrary, aminobutyrate: α-ketoglutarate transaminase (GABA-T) was shown in most of the microorganisms from bacteria to fungi. β-Alanine is a preferred amino donor for the co-APT reaction. Although bacterial and yeast GABA-T are inactive for β-alanine, fungal and actinomycete enzymes react with this compound and γ-aminobutyrate. In comparing these results with those of plant and mammalian enzymes, two different pathways of co-amino acid metabolism are suggested for bacteria, yeast and plants, i.e. one for β-alanine and the other for γ-aminobutyrate, catalyzed by ω-APT and GABA-T, respectively. In actinomycetes, fungi, and mammals GABA-T may be involved in the metabolism of both ω-amino acids. In addition, evolutionary changes of ω-amino acid transaminases are discussed. 相似文献

The review deals with some theoretical and applied aspects of the capacity of yeasts for synthesizing toxins. Similarly to antibiotic formation in micellar fungi and actinomycetes and the synthesis of bactericins in prokaryotes, yeast cells also have their mechanism of protection from other microorganisms. The substances, essentially of the same nature, synthesized by yeast are known for more than 30 years as mycocins or killer toxins. They are proteins or glycoproteins, active mainly against yeast microorganisms. Mycocins are not active against bacteria and protozoa exhibiting only fungicidal or fungistatic action. The formation of mycocins may be determined by nucleus or plasmid DNA. In this review information on killer toxins produced by clinically important yeasts of the genera Candida, Cryptococcus and Rhodotorula is systematized. 相似文献

Summary Previously we used a simple, sensitive agar plate method to screen lipase activity from 1229 selected cultures including 508 bacteria, 479 yeasts, 230 actinomycetes and 12 fungi covering many genera and species. About 25% of the cultures tested were lipase-positive. These lipase-positive strains were further classified as good, moderate or weak enzyme producers. We have expanded our screening method to focus specifically on the pH dependence and thermostability of these lipase activities. The lipases exhibited various pH sensitivities and were divided into three groups: (i) lipases which are active at pH 5.5 but not at pH 7.5—produced by 36 bacteria, 23 yeasts and four actinomycetes; (ii) lipases which are active at pH 7.5 but not at pH 5.5—produced by 17 bacteria, four yeasts, two actinomycetes and one fungus; and (iii) lipases which are active at both pH 5.5 and pH 7.5—produced by 112 bacteria, 90 yeasts, 15 actinomycetes and five fungi. By screening at 60°C and pH 9.0, we further identified 50 bacteria and 26 yeasts that produce thermostable alkali-tolerant lipases. Product analyses confirmed our screening results. Lipases with specific pH dependency and thermostability have potential to be developed into industrial enzymes. 相似文献

Antagonistic activity of soil acidophilic actinomycetes 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
It has been shown that soil acidophilic actinomycetes (mycelial prokaryotes with a growth optinum between pH 3 and 7) markedly differ from neutrophilic actinomycetes in antimicrobial activity: the former are more active against fungi and yeasts, whereas the latter effectively suppress Gram-positive bacteria. Acidophilic streptomycetes actively inhibit the growth of phytopathogenic fungi, especially on acidic media. 相似文献

The distribution of phenylacetaldoxime-degrading and pyridine-3-aldoxime-degrading ability was examined with intact cells of 975 microorganisms, including 45 genera of bacteria, 11 genera of actinomyces, 22 genera of yeasts, and 37 genera of fungi, by monitoring the decrease of the aldoximes by high-pressure liquid chromatography. The abilities were found to be widely distributed in bacteria, actinomyces, fungi, and some yeasts: 98 and 107 strains degraded phenylacetaldoxime and pyridine-3-aldoxime, respectively. All of the active strains exhibited not only the aldoxime-dehydration activity to form nitrile but also nitrile-hydrolyzing activity. On the other hand, all of 19 nitrile-degrading microorganisms (13 species, 7 genera) were found to exhibit aldoxime dehydration activity. It is shown that aldoxime dehydratase and nitrile-hydrolyzing activities are widely distributed among 188 aldoxime and 19 nitrile degraders and that the enzymes were induced by aldoximes or nitriles. 相似文献

Microbiota of soil samples from Terra Nova Bay and Edmonson Point, Antarctica was observed by dilutions spread plate method. Variety of mesophilic and psychrophilic microorganisms was detected and isolated. Bacteria, actinomycetes, fungi, and microalgae occurred. Fungi genera Penicillium, Aspergillus, Paecilomyces, Cladosporium, Mortierella, Candida, Rhodotorula were found. By morphology and cell wall aminoacid composition the actinomycete genus Streptomyces was characterized. The bacteria and actinomycetes were screened for biologically active products. Some cultures formed enzymes, glycolipids and antibiotics. Psychrophilic strain Streptomyces sp. no. 8 was studied more detail and was established that it produced following antibiotics: azalomycin B, nigericin and non-polyenic macrolide antibiotic composed from two components that inhibited the growth of Gram-positive bacteria, yeasts, and phytopathogenic fungi. 相似文献
