The effects of distant interactions (LRI) and culture air on the adhesion ofPseudomonas fluorescens cells were studied. OneP. fluorescens culture was found to diminish the adhesion of cells of another, glassscreened,P. fluorescens culture by 30% (in the absence o air exchange between cultures). This effect was interpreted to be due to penetrating LRI.
Under the combined action ofLRI and culture air (the latter alone reduced cell adhesion by only several percent), the amount of unattached cells increased
2-to 30-fold (on the average, by a factor of nine). Such a great reduction of cell adhesion indicated the synergistic action
ofLRI and culture air. 相似文献

Some properties of the adhesion-modifying factors of Pseudomonas fluorescens are described. Adhesin, which promotes the adhesion of P. fluorescens cells, is a hydrophobic compound of a protein nature with a molecular mass of more than 10 kDa located either at the cell surface or in the medium. Anti-adhesion, which suppresses the adhesion of P. fluorescens cells, is a thermolabile hydrophobic compound of a nonprotein nature with a molecular mass of less than 3 kDa. Heating makes anti-adhesin hydrophilic. The role of adhesion and anti-adhesion in the adhesion and adaptation of P. fluorescens cells is discussed. 相似文献

Two factors affecting the adhesion of Pseudomonas fluorescens to glass surfaces were revealed in the culture liquid (CL) of this bacterium. One of these factors, adhesin, which is responsible for cell adhesion, was found to be a protein substance located both at the cell surface and in the CL. Bacterial cells grown in rich LB medium were less adhesive than cells grown in minimal M9 medium. The adhesive capacity of cells was independent of the growth phase. The other factor, anti-adhesion (AA), which reduces cell adhesion, was found only in the CL. AA concentration in the CL increased with the culture age. 相似文献

The antibiotic-producing bacterium, Pseudomonas fluorescens, is assumed to be important in protecting plants from soilborne diseases. S. fluorescens S272, a hyper-producing strain of pyoluteorin (PT) and 2,4-diacetylphloroglucinol (DG), had previously been isolated from soil. The present paper reported that the growth of water-cultivated Kaiware radish was promoted to 120-140% of its normal level by the coaddition of an S272 culture broth (0.01-1% v/v) and a polysaccharide flocculant (1-100 ppm) from Klebsiella pneumoniae H12. Tight adhesion of S272 cells to the root tissue was microscopically observed. The growth promotion is assumed to have been caused by antibiotic effects for the following two reasons: 1) PT (4 mg/l) and DG (24 mg/l) addition to a radish culture enhanced stem growth to 130% of the normal level; 2) a culture solution containing the S272 culture broth (0.01-1% v/v) markedly inhibited the decomposition of hypersensitive chrysanthemum leaves. A soil-cultivation experiment with Gomphrena globosa under natural conditions also exhibited enhanced stem length (160%) by coaddition of the S272 culture broth and H12 polysaccharide. These results suggest that polysaccharide-enhanced adhesion of P. fluorescens S272 cells might be useful for promoting plant growth through the increased antibiotic effect. 相似文献

One of the two putative groups of antiadhesions was identified in Pseudomonas fluorescens by the method of gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. A mixture of high-molecular unbranched hydrocarbons (HC) with a chain length from 21 to 33 carbon atoms reduced cell adhesion to a glass surface. These HC accumulated in the culture liquid to a total concentration of 10-15 micrograms/l; the concentrations of individual HC ranged from 0.1 to 3.0 micrograms/l. After the addition of individual HC to the bacterial culture, the number of cells attached to the glass surface decreased. This decrease in cell adhesion was due to the enhanced aggregation of the bacterial cells, which promoted mechanical (hydrodynamic) cell detachment from the surface. 相似文献

Antagonism between Bacillus cereus and Pseudomonas fluorescens in planktonic systems and in biofilms
In the environment, many microorganisms coexist in communities competing for resources, and they are often associated as biofilms. The investigation of bacterial ecology and interactions may help to improve understanding of the ability of biofilms to persist. In this study, the behaviour of Bacillus cereus and Pseudomonas fluorescens in the planktonic and sessile states was compared. Planktonic tests were performed with single and dual species cultures in growth medium with and without supplemental FeCl3. B. cereus and P. fluorescens single cultures had equivalent growth behaviours. Also, when in co-culture under Fe-supplemented conditions, the bacteria coexisted and showed similar growth profiles. Under Fe limitation, 8 h after co-culture and over time, the number of viable B. cereus cells decreased compared with P. fluorescens. Spores were detected during the course of the experiment, but were not correlated with the decrease in the number of viable cells. This growth inhibitory effect was correlated with the release of metabolite molecules by P. fluorescens through Fe-dependent mechanisms. Biofilm studies were carried out with single and dual species using a continuous flow bioreactor rotating system with stainless steel (SS) substrata. Steady-state biofilms were exposed to a series of increasing shear stress forces. Analysis of the removal of dual species biofilms revealed that the outer layer was colonised mainly by B. cereus. This bacterium was able to grow in the outermost layers of the biofilm due to the inhibitory effect of P. fluorescens being decreased by the exposure of the cells to fresh culture medium. B. cereus also constituted the surface primary coloniser due to its favourable adhesion to SS. P. fluorescens was the main coloniser of the middle layers of the biofilm. Single and dual species biofilm removal data also revealed that B. cereus biofilms had the highest physical stability, followed by P. fluorescens biofilms. This study highlights the inadequacy of planktonic systems to mimic the behaviour of bacteria in biofilms and shows how the culturing system affects the action of antagonist metabolite molecules because dilution and consequent loss of activity occurred in continuously operating systems. Furthermore, the data demonstrate the biocontrol potential of P. fluorescens on the planktonic growth of B. cereus and the ability of the two species to coexist in a stratified biofilm structure. 相似文献

The attachment of Pseudomonas fluorescens and an Acinetobacter sp. to hydrogel and polystyrene surfaces was investigated to evaluate the influence of adsorbed water and macromolecules on adhesion. With both organisms, there was a decrease in attachment numbers with increasing water content of the hydrogels. There was also a decrease in attachment with a decrease in water contact angle on untreated, tissue culture and sulfonated polystyrene surfaces; however, the attachment numbers were higher than would be expected on the basis of the hydrogel data. With P. fluorescens, attachment to untreated and tissue culture polystyrene was inhibited by bovine serum albumin, Escherichia coli lipopolysaccharide, and the supernatant from spent medium, both when the conditioning substances were added to the suspension of attaching cells and when they were preadsorbed onto the surfaces. Dextran inhibited attachment only when added to the bacterial suspension. Supernatants from centrifuged natural freshwater samples had no effect. Thus, hydration of a surface and the adsorption of macromolecules can reduce bacterial attachment; however, additional factors relating to the chemical composition of the substratum and polymeric stabilization of suspended cells can affect the adhesion interaction and resultant numbers of attached cells. 相似文献

The relative cell surface hydrophobicity (CSH) of 18 soil isolates of Pseudomonas fluorescens, determined by phase exclusion, hydrophobic interaction chromatography (HIC), electrostatic interaction chromatography (ESIC), and contact angle, revealed large degrees of variability. Variation in the adhesion efficiency to Macrophomina phaseolina of the hyphae/sclerotia of these isolates was also examined. Two such isolates with maximum (32.8%; isolate 12-94) and minimum (12%; isolate 30-94) CSH were selected for further study. Early- to mid-log exponential cells of these isolates were more hydrophobic than those in stationary phase, and the CSH of these isolates was also influenced by fluctuations in temperatures and pH. Isolate 12-94 exhibited high CSH (32.3%) at 30 degrees C, compared to lower values (28-24%) in the higher temperature range (35-40 degrees C). Increasing concentrations of either Zn2+, Fe3+, K+, and Mg2+ in the growth medium were associated with the increased CSH. Trypsin, pepsin, and proteinase K (75 to 150 micrograms.mL-1) reduced the CSH of isolate 12-94 cells. CSH was reduced, following exposure to DTT, SDS, Triton X-100, or Tween 80. Prolonged exposure of cells to starvation (60 days) also caused a significant decline in CSH. Several protein bands (18, 21, 23, 26 kDa) of the outer cell membrane were absent in 60-day starved cells compared to unstarved cells. In conclusion, our findings demonstrate that CSH of P. fluorescens isolates may contribute to nonspecific attachment/adhesion onto M. phaseolina hyphae/sclerotia, and the efficiency of adhesion is regulated by growth and other environmental conditions. 相似文献

The effects of high hydrostatic pressures on protein synthesis by whole cells and cell free preparations of Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas fluorescens, and Pseudomonas bathycetes were determined. Actively growing cells of P. bathycetes and P. fluorescens were less sensitive than were E. coli cells. Protein synthesis by cell free preparations of E. coli and P. fluorescens showed the same extent of inhibition as their respective whole cell preparations, whereas cell free preparations of P. bathycetes showed a marked increase in pressure sensitivity over whole cells. Protein synthesis by hybrid protein synthesizing cell free preparations (the ribosomes from one organism and the S-100 supernatant fraction from another) demonstrated that response to high pressure is dependent on the source of the ribosome employed. A hybrid system containing E. coli ribosomes and P. fluorescens S-100 shows the same sensitivity to pressure as a homologous E. coli system, whereas a hybrid containing P. fluorescens ribosomes and E. coli S-100 shows the greater pressure tolerance characteristic of the P. fluorescens homologous system. 相似文献

The culture liquid filtrate of an exponential-phase Pseudomonas fluorescens batch culture added to another P. fluorescens culture at the moment of inoculation was found (1) to prevent or diminish cell adsorption of the flask walls; (2) to enhance the intensity of cell respiration; (3) to shorten the period of adaptation of LB-grown cells to growth in glucose-containing mineral M9 medium; (4) to stimulate bacterial growth at supraoptimum temperature (36 degrees C) and pH values (4.8 and 9.2); and (5) to decrease the death rate of bacteria at the supraoptimum growth temperature. These results were interpreted as indicating that P. fluorescens cultures produce two types of regulatory exometabolites similar to those revealed earlier in Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis cultures: the direct-action adaptogenic factor XI capable of increasing bacterial resistance to unfavorable growth conditions (temperature and pH) and factor promoting adaptation to new media. Both factors are presumably low-molecular-weight hydrophilic nonprotein compounds. 相似文献

The investigation of growth dynamics and protein content in a batch Pseudomonas fluorescens culture grown in a synthetic medium with glucose as the sole source of carbon and energy showed that cells reversibly adhere to the walls of the cultivation flask during the first 2-3 h of growth. Over this time period, the total protein content of free and bound cells increased exponentially at a rate of 0.25 h-1, the fraction of proteins in cells being almost the same (60-70%). The protein content in the medium increased from 3 to 50 mg/l, reaching about 30% of the total protein of the culture. The addition of the exponential culture liquid filtrate to the medium together with the inoculum led to the complete inhibition of cell adhesion and a drastic activation of proteolysis, with a concurrent release of more than 80% of cellular proteins into the medium. After 3-5 h of growth, the concentration of extracellular proteins decreased to the control level. Exogenously added proteinase K inhibited cell adhesion, the effect being more pronounced for R-type than for S-type cells. The hypothesis is discussed that the short-term reversible adhesion of cells is regulated with the involvement of a mixture of hydrocarbons, which inactivate the functional activity of bacterial adhesins, and proteases, which digest these adhesins. 相似文献

The effect of the gaseous metabolites of one Pseudomonas fluorescens culture on the attachment of cells of another Pseudomonas fluorescens culture to glass was studied. Gaseous metabolites increased the number of unattached cells by 10-30% and the mean residence time of cells attached to glass by 100%. These effects were presumably due to the yet unidentified compound, which we called volatile antiadhesin. This compound could be adsorbed by activated carbon and HAYESEP-Q adsorbent. 相似文献

Glutaraldehyde (GLUT) was evaluated for control of single and dual species biofilms of Bacillus cereus and Pseudomonas fluorescens on stainless steel surfaces using a chemostat system. The biofilms were characterized in terms of mass, cell density, total and matrix proteins and polysaccharides. The control action of GLUT was assessed in terms of inactivation and removal of biofilm. Post-biocide action was characterized 3, 7, 12, 24, 48 and 72 h after treatment. Tests with planktonic cells were also performed for comparison. The results demonstrated that in dual species biofilms the metabolic activity, cell density and the content of matrix proteins were higher than those of either single species. Planktonic B. cereus was more susceptible to GLUT than P. fluorescens. The biocide susceptibility of dual species planktonic cultures was an average of each single species. Planktonic cells were more susceptible to GLUT than their biofilm counterparts. Biofilm inactivation was similar for both of the single biofilms while dual biofilms were more resistant than single species biofilms. GLUT at 200 mg l(-1) caused low biofilm removal (<10%). Analysis of the post-biocide treatment data revealed the ability of biofilms to recover their activity over time. However, 12 h after biocide application, sloughing events were detected for both single and dual species biofilms, but were more marked for those formed by P. fluorescens (removal >40% of the total biofilm). The overall results suggest that GLUT exerts significant antimicrobial activity against planktonic bacteria and a partial and reversible activity against B. cereus and P. fluorescens single and dual species biofilms. The biocide had low antifouling effects when analysed immediately after treatment. However, GLUT had significant long-term effects on biofilm removal, inducing significant sloughing events (recovery in terms of mass 72 h after treatment for single biofilms and 42 h later for dual biofilms). In general, dual species biofilms demonstrated higher resistance and resilience to GLUT exposure than either of the single species biofilms. P. fluorescens biofilms were more susceptible to the biocide than B. cereus biofilms. 相似文献

Sequence analysis of domains 3 and 4 of 23S rRNA from Pseudomonas fluorescens Ag1 was carried out to allow the design of a strain-specific rRNA oligonucleotide probe targeting this strain. The specificity of the probe, Ps-Ag1, was assessed by dot blot analysis and whole-cell hybridization, and it was found to be specific for P. fluorescens Ag1. The correlation between the ribosomal content of P. fluorescens Ag1 and growth rate was determined during balanced growth conditions with generation times ranging from 1.2 to 31.8 h. Hybridization of the rRNA-targeting probes combined with charged coupled device-enhanced microscopy was used to determine the rRNA content. The total RNA content per cell was determined by staining with acridine orange and charged coupled device-enhanced microscopy. After 2 h under carbon starvation conditions, the rRNA content per cell decreased to 45% of the content of an exponentially growing cell. After 1 day of carbon starvation, the rRNA content had decreased to 20%. When cells were grown at different temperatures, it was found that the rRNA content per cell was only dependent on the substrate in the temperature range from 5 to 30 degrees C. P. fluorescens Ag1 was used in a mesocosm release experiment. The strain could be detected by use of the oligonucleotide probe targeting rRNA for 8 days in the water column and for 10 days on solid surfaces. The standard curve correlating growth rate with rRNA content was used to estimate the physiological activity of P. fluorescens Ag1 in the mesocosm experiment. 相似文献

In order to determine the infectious potential of the psychrotrophic bacterium Pseudomonas fluorescens, a species closely related to the opportunistic pathogen P. aeruginosa, we investigated the binding activity of this bacterium on primary cultures of rat neonate cortical neurons and glial cells, adrenal paraneurons and NG108-15 neuroblastoma cells. Incubated at concentrations of 10(6) and 10(8) CFU/mL, P. fluorescens MF37 exhibited a high binding activity on neurons in the same range as that of P. aeruginosa PAO1. A significant, but lower, adherence of P. fluorescens was also detected on glial cells and adrenal paraneurons. In contrast, when P. fluorescens MF37 or P. aeruginosa PAO1 were incubated with neuroblastoma cells, no binding was observed. In neurons, the association of P. fluorescens with the plasma membrane occurred both on neurites and cell body. Leakage of the cytoplasmic content was frequently noted. Studies performed using the fluorescent probe Hoechst 33258 revealed that in 10% of neurons, P. fluorescens induced the appearance of densely stained clusters of DNA that was typical of an early step of apoptosis. In glial cells exposed to P. fluorescens, marked changes in the morphology of the nucleus, including fragmentation into lobular structures and aggregation of DNA, were also reminiscent of the existence of a possible apoptotic mechanism. Taken together, these results reveal that P. fluorescens can bind to nerve cells and affect their physiology and, in agreement with recent clinical observations, suggest that P. fluorescens could behave as a pathogen. 相似文献

Chlorophenolic waste most often contains phenol and rho-cresol along with chlorophenols. A Rhodococcus erythropolis strain M1 was isolated with the ability to degrade 2-chlorophenol, phenol and p-cresol (100 mgl(-1), each) in 18, 24 and 20 h, respectively, with negligible lag. However, Rhodococcus sp. characterized by low growth rate, pose a threat to be outgrown by bacteria occurring in natural habitats. In the present study, interaction of R. erythropolis M1 with another isolated bacteria generally encountered in activated sludge for water treatment like Pseudomonas fluorescens P1 was studied. 2-chlorophenol, phenol and p-cresol were selected as the substrates for the study. Viable cell counts showed competitive interaction between the species on 2-chlorophenol and phenol. Specific growth rate of pure culture of R. erythropolis M1 was higher than P. fluorescens P1 on 2-chlorophenol. However, in mixed culture, P. fluorescens P1 showed higher growth rate. Degradation of phenol showed higher growth rate of R. erythropolis M1 both in pure and in mixed culture form. Degradation of p-cresol had shown similar counts for both populations indicating neutral type of interaction. This observation was substantiated by detecting the growth rate, where both cultures had similar growth rate in pure and in the mixed culture form. Rate of 2-chlorophenol degradation was higher when R. erythropolis M1 was used as the pure culture as compared to the degradation rates observed with the P. fluorescens P1 or with the mixed culture. However, in case of phenol and p-cresol, degradation by the mixed culture had resulted in higher degradation rates as compared to the degradation of the substrates by both the axenic cultures. 相似文献

The objectives of this work were (i) to use transposon mutagenesis to produce mutants of Pseudomonas fluorescens that were altered in adhesion ability and transport through porous media and (ii) to identify the alterations in surface characteristics that were responsible for the changes in attachment. Mutants of P. fluorescens were generated with TnphoA, which enabled identification of mutants that were altered in surface proteins. Transposon mutants were screened for alterations in adhesion ability by attachment assays on hydrophobic polystyrene and water-wettable polystyrene. Four TnphoA mutants with increased adhesion to the hydrophobic surface and decreased adhesion to the water-wettable surface were obtained. Transport of the strains through porous media was evaluated by passing suspensions of each mutant and the parent through columns containing quartz sand and determining the number of cells retained in the columns. The mutants all demonstrated increased adhesion and retention in the columns. Southern analysis demonstrated two types of mutants with separate transposon insertion sites. Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of the strains demonstrated that the O antigen on the lipopolysaccharide was either attenuated or absent. Lack of this polysaccharide, and the consequent increased exposure of the lipid moiety of the lipopolysaccharide, is probably responsible for the increase in adhesion to the hydrophobic substrata and retention in the sand column. This work combined with previous studies of attachment of P. fluorescens demonstrates that more than one type of polymer can mediate the adhesion of this organism to nonbiological surfaces. 相似文献

Antigen 43 from Escherichia coli induces inter- and intraspecies cell aggregation and changes in colony morphology of Pseudomonas fluorescens

Antigen 43 (Ag43) is a surface-displayed autotransporter protein of Escherichia coli. By virtue of its self-association characteristics, this protein is able to mediate autoaggregation and flocculation of E. coli cells in static cultures. Additionally, surface display of Ag43 is associated with a distinct frizzy colony morphology in E. coli. Here we show that Ag43 can be expressed in a functional form on the surface of the environmentally important Pseudomonas fluorescens strain SBW25 with ensuing cell aggregation and frizzy colony types. Using green fluorescence protein-tagged cells, we demonstrate that Ag43 can be used as a tool to provide interspecies cell aggregation between E. coli and P. fluorescens. Furthermore, Ag43 expression enhances biofilm formation in P. fluorescens to glass surfaces. The versatility of this protein was also reflected in Ag43 surface display in a variety of other gram-negative bacteria. Display of heterologous Ag43 in selected bacteria might offer opportunities for rational design of multispecies consortia where the concerted action of several bacterial species is required, e.g., waste treatment and degradation of pollutants. 相似文献

Role of strain type, AGS cells and fetal calf serum in Helicobacter pylori adhesion and invasion assays 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
Petersen AM Blom J Andersen LP Krogfelt KA 《FEMS immunology and medical microbiology》2000,29(1):59-67
In a human gastric biopsy specimen, 30% of adhering Helicobacter pylori strain AF4 (cagA and VacA positive) was associated with adhesion pedestals. In an AGS cell assay, only a few percent of this type I strain was found to be associated with adhesion pedestals. Nevertheless, a larger proportion of the type I strain was found to invade AGS cells (P < 0.03) and to attach with depressions in the AGS cell membrane (P < 0.03) than a type II strain (cagA and VacA negative). Incubation of AGS cells and H. pylori without adding fetal calf serum (FCS) to the culture medium increased actin accumulations (FITC-phalloidin stained) beneath adhering H. pylori, and decreased H. pylori invasion of AGS cells significantly (P < 0.01). However, no increase in the number of adhesion pedestals was observed by electron microscopy. Proteinase K treatment of FCS eliminated the H. pylori invasion promoting effect (P < 0.01). Our results suggest differences in the ability of H. pylori to induce adhesion pedestals in human gastric epithelial cells and in AGS cells, but a correlation between adhesion pedestal formation in vivo and H. pylori invasion in vitro can be speculated. In addition, H. pylori invasion into AGS cells was found to be mediated by proteins in FCS. 相似文献
