Carvacrol, a natural plant constituent occurring in oregano and thyme, was investigated for its bactericidal effect towards the food-borne pathogen Bacillus cereus . Carvacrol showed a dose-related growth inhibition of B. cereus . At concentrations of 0·75 mmol l−1 and above, total inhibition of the growth was observed. Below this concentration, carvacrol extended the lag-phase, reduced the specific growth rate and reduced the maximum population density. Incubation for 40 min in the presence of 0·75–3 mmol l−1 carvacrol decreased the number of viable cells of B. cereus exponentially. Spores were found to be approximately 2·3-fold less sensitive to carvacrol than vegetative cells. Bacillus cereus cells showed reduced susceptibility towards carvacrol at pH 7·0 compared with different values between pH 4·5 and 8·5. The culture and exposure temperatures had a significant influence on the survival of vegetative cells. The highest death rate of cells was observed at an exposure temperature of 30 °C. Membrane fluidity was found to be an important factor influencing the bactericidal activity of carvacrol. 相似文献

Fatty acids produced by 22 strains of 10 species of the genus Bacillus were analyzed on a very efficient and selective gas-liquid chromatographic column. All of the 10 species, alvei, brevis, cereus, circulans, licheniformis, macerans, megaterium, polymyxa, pumilus, and subtilis, produced eight fatty acids, six branched (anteiso-C(15), anteiso-C(17), iso-C(14), iso-C(15), iso-C(16), and iso-C(17)) and two normal (n-C(14) and n-C(16)). In all cases, the six branched-chain fatty acids made up over 60% of the total fatty acids. In addition to the eight fatty acids, B. cereus produced four extra fatty acids, three branched (anteiso-C(13), iso-C(12), and iso-C(13)) and one monoenoic-n-C(16). Furthermore, there were distinct differences in the relative amounts of fatty acids produced between B. cereus and the remaining nine species. B. cereus produced iso-C(15) fatty acid in the largest amount on a glucose-yeast extract medium as well as on Pennassay Broth. On the other hand, for the remaining nine species, anteiso-C(15) fatty acid was the major fatty acid from the glucose-yeast extract medium, whereas the amount of iso-C(15) fatty acid from Penassay Broth became comparable to that of anteiso-C(15) fatty acid. Mechanisms and various factors affecting the fatty acid distribution pattern in the 10 Bacillus species are discussed. 相似文献

Nisin, a small antimicrobial protein, was tested for its bactericidal action against Listeria monocytogenes and Bacillus cereus and a typical biphasic reduction of the viable count was observed. The reduction was most fast during the first 10 min of exposure, while the viable count remained stable in the last part of the exposure period. Bacillus cereus was more sensitive towards nisin than L. monocytogenes and the inhibitory effect of nisin was stronger towards cells cultivated and exposed at 8 degrees C than towards cells cultivated and exposed at 20 degrees C. Combining nisin with sublethal doses of carvacrol resulted in an increased reduction in the viable count of both organisms, indicating synergy between nisin and carvacrol. Addition of lysozyme as a third preservative factor increased the synergistic effect between nisin and carvone, especially in the last part of the exposure period. 相似文献

Carvacrol, a naturally occurring compound mainly present in the essential oil fraction of oregano and thyme, was studied for its effect on bioenergetic parameters of vegetative cells of the food-borne pathogen Bacillus cereus. Incubation for 30 min in the presence of 1 to 3 mM carvacrol reduced the viable cell numbers exponentially. Carvacrol (2 mM) significantly depleted the intracellular ATP pool to values close to 0 within 7 min. No proportional increase of the extracellular ATP pool was observed. Depletion of the internal ATP pool was associated with a change of the membrane potential (Deltapsi). At concentrations of 0.01 mM carvacrol and above, a significant reduction of Deltapsi was observed, leading to full dissipation of Deltapsi at concentrations of 0.15 mM and higher. Finally, an increase of the permeability of the cytoplasmic membrane for protons and potassium ions was observed (at 0.25 and 1 mM carvacrol, respectively). From this study, it could be concluded that carvacrol interacts with the membranes of B. cereus by changing its permeability for cations like H(+) and K(+). The dissipation of ion gradients leads to impairment of essential processes in the cell and finally to cell death. 相似文献

The fatty acid composition of Listeria monocytogenes Scott A was determined by close-interval sampling over the entire biokinetic temperature range. There was a high degree of variation in the percentage of branched-chain fatty acids at any given temperature. The percentage of branched C17 components increased with growth temperature in a linear manner. However, the percentages of iso-C15:0 (i15:0) and anteiso-C15:0 (a15:0) were well described by third-order and second-order polynomial curves, respectively. There were specific temperature regions where the proportion of branched-chain fatty acids deviated significantly from the trend established over the entire growth range. In the region from 12 to 13 degrees C there were significant deviations in the percentages of both i15:0 and a15:0 together with a suggested deviation in a17:0, resulting in a significant change in the total branched-chain fatty acids. In the 31 to 33 degrees C region the percentage of total branched-chain components exhibited a significant deviation. The observed perturbations in fatty acid composition occurred near the estimated boundaries of the normal physiological range for growth. 相似文献

Listeria monocytogenes is a food-borne pathogen capable of growth at refrigeration temperatures. Membrane lipid fatty acids are major determinants of a sufficiently fluid membrane state to allow growth at low temperatures. L. monocytogenes was characterized by a fatty acid profile dominated to an unusual extent (> 95%) by branched-chain fatty acids, with the major fatty acids being anteiso-C15:0, anteiso-C17:0, and iso-C15:0 in cultures grown in complex or defined media at 37 degrees C. Determination of the fatty acid composition of L. monocytogenes 10403S and SLCC 53 grown over the temperature range 45 to 5 degrees C revealed two modes of adaptation of fatty acid composition to lower growth temperatures: (i) shortening of fatty acid chain length and (ii) alteration of branching from iso to anteiso. Two transposon Tn917-induced cold-sensitive mutants incapable of growth at low temperatures had dramatically altered fatty acid compositions with low levels of i-C15:0, a-C15:0, and a-C17:0 and high levels of i-C14:0, C14:0, i-C16:0, and C16:0. The levels of a-C15:0 and a-C17:0 and the ability to grow at low temperatures were restored by supplementing media with 2-methylbutyric acid, presumably because it acted as a precursor of methylbutyryl coenzyme A, the primer for synthesis of anteiso odd-numbered fatty acids. When mid-exponential-phase 10403S cells grown at 37 degrees C were temperature down-shocked to 5 degrees C they were able, for the most part, to reinitiate growth before the membrane fatty acid composition had reset to a composition more typical for low-temperature growth. No obvious evidence was found for a role for fatty acid unsaturation in adaptation of L. monocytogenes to cold temperature. The switch to a fatty acid profile dominated by a-C15:0 at low temperatures and the association of cold sensitivity with deficiency of a-C15:0 focus attention on the critical role of this fatty acid in growth of L. monocytogenes in the cold, presumably through its physical properties and their effects, in maintaining a fluid, liquid-crystalline state of the membrane lipids. 相似文献

Thermus aquaticus contains four major fatty acids, iso-C(15) (28%), iso-C(16) (9%), normal-C(16) (13%), and iso-C(17) (48%), when grown at 70 C, as determined by gas chromatography and mass spectrometry. Small amounts of iso-C(12), normal-C(12:1), iso-C(13), normal-C(14), iso-C(14), and normal-C(15:1) were also detected. A change in growth temperature (50 to 75 C at 5-C intervals) affects a shift in the proportions of some of the fatty acids. The proportions of the monoenoic and branched-C(17) fatty acids decreased and the proportions of the higher-melting iso-C(16) and normal-C(16) fatty acids increased. Cells grown at 75 C contained 70% more total fatty acids than cells grown at 50 C. The largest increases, in absolute amounts, were in the content of iso-C(16) and normal-C(16) fatty acids, with only a 1.6-fold increase in the major iso-C(15) and iso-C(17) fatty acids. There was a 2.5-fold decrease in normal-C(15:1) and at least a 24-fold decrease in anteiso-C(17), which is present at 50 and 55 C but not at higher temperatures. There was no difference in proportion or amount of fatty acids between exponential and stationary-phase cells grown at 70 C. When cells were grown on glutamate instead of yeast-extract and tryptone at 70 C, the total fatty acid content remained constant, but there was an increase in the proportions of iso-C(16) and normal-C(16) fatty acids concomitant with a decrease in the proportions of the iso-C(15) and iso-C(17) fatty acids. 相似文献

AIM: To establish whether or not carvacrol and cinnamic acid delay microbial spoilage of fresh-cut fruit. METHODS AND RESULTS: Dipping of fresh-cut kiwifruit in carvacrol solutions at 5-15 mM reduced total viable counts from 6.6 to < 2 log cfu g-1 for 21 d at 4 degrees C; however, undesirable colour and odour changes were also observed. Treatment with 1 mM of carvacrol or cinnamic acid reduced viable counts on kiwifruit by 4 and 1.5 log cfu g-1 for 5 d at 4 degrees C and 8 degrees C, respectively. Treatment of fresh-cut honeydew melon with 1 mM of carvacrol or cinnamic acid extended the lag phase of the microbial flora from less than 1 d in the untreated controls to 3 d at 8 degrees C and 5 d at 4 degrees C. Viable counts on the treated melon were 6 log cfu g-1 lower on Day 3 at 8 degrees C and 4 log cfu g-1 lower on Day 5 at 4 degrees C, compared with the untreated controls. IMPACT OF THE STUDY: Treatment with 1 mM of carvacrol or cinnamic acid delays spoilage of fresh-cut kiwifruit and honeydew melon at chill temperatures without adverse sensory consequences. 相似文献

Membrane fluidity adaptation to the low growth temperature in Bacillus subtilis involves two distinct mechanisms: (1) long-term adaptation accomplished by increasing the ratio of anteiso- to iso-branched fatty acids and (2) rapid desaturation of fatty acid chains in existing phospholipids by induction of fatty acid desaturase after cold shock. In this work we studied the effect of medium composition on cold adaptation of membrane fluidity. Bacillus subtilis was cultivated at optimum (40 degrees C) and low (20 degrees C) temperatures in complex medium with glucose or in mineral medium with either glucose or glycerol. Cold adaptation was characterized by fatty acid analysis and by measuring the midpoint of phospholipid phase transition T(m) (differential scanning calorimetry) and membrane fluidity (DPH fluorescence polarization). Cells cultured and measured at 40 degrees C displayed the same membrane fluidity in all three media despite a markedly different fatty acid composition. The T(m) was surprisingly the highest in the case of a culture grown in complex medium. On the contrary, cultivation at 20 degrees C in the complex medium gave rise to the highest membrane fluidity with concomitant decrease of T(m) by 10.5 degrees C. In mineral media at 20 degrees C the corresponding changes of T(m) were almost negligible. After a temperature shift from 40 to 20 degrees C, the cultures from all three media displayed the same adaptive induction of fatty acid desaturase despite their different membrane fluidity values immediately after cold shock. 相似文献

A novel strictly aerobic, gliding, Gram-negative, rod-shaped, halo- and mesophilic bacterium (TD-ZX30(T)) was isolated from a seawater sample collected on the Pacific coastline of Japan near Kamakura City (Fujisawa, Kanagawa). The temperature range for growth of TD-ZX30(T) was between 16 and 44 degrees C. The DNA G+C content was 32.0mol%. The predominant fatty acids were iso-C(15:1) G, iso-C(15:0), iso-C(16:0) 3-OH, iso-C(15:0) 3-OH, Summed feature (iso-C(15:0) 2-OH and/or C(16:1)omega7c), iso-C(17:0) 3-OH, and C(15:0). MK-6 was the only respiratory quinone. Zeaxanthin was the major carotenoid pigment produced but flexirubin-type pigments were not produced. Phylogenetic analysis based on the 16S rRNA gene sequence revealed that TD-ZX30(T) belonged to a distinct lineage in the family Flavobacteriaceae, sharing 93.9% sequence similarity with the nearest species Olleya marilimosa. TD-ZX30(T) could be distinguished from the other members of the family Flavobacteriaceae by a number of chemotaxonomic and phenotypic characteristics. The results of polyphasic taxonomic analyses suggested that TD-ZX30(T) represents a novel genus and a novel species, for which the name Mesoflavibacter zeaxanthinifaciens gen. nov., sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is TD-ZX30(T) (=NBRC 102119=CCUG 53614=DSM 18436). 相似文献

A coordinated study of membrane fluidity and fatty acid composition has been carried out in Escherichia coli W3110. The lipid acyl chain profile of the bacteria, altered by growing cells in steady state at 30, 37, 42, or 45 degrees C, was determined by gas chromatography of the fatty acid methyl esters. In parallel experiments, total membranes obtained from cells of the above-mentioned cultures were labeled with dipyrenylpropane and their relative fluidity was measured on the basis of the excimer to monomer fluorescence intensity ratio of the fluorophore. It has been found that, at constant assay temperature, fluidity determined with dipyrenylpropane decreases gradually with the growth temperature increment, from 30 to 45 degrees C. Interestingly, when fatty acid composition is taken into account, fluidity increases linearly in the range under study, with the proportion of unsaturated fatty acyl chains, both variables being highly correlated (0.924 = r(2) = 0.996). Our results show that dipyrenylpropane is a reliable and quantitative indicator of changes in membrane fluidity, driven by modifications in the acyl chain composition of bacterial lipids. 相似文献

The fatty acid composition of the lipid A moiety of the lipopolysaccharide and phospholipid fractions of Proteus mirabilis changed significantly on varying the growth temperature. A decrease in the growth temperature from 43 degrees C to 15 degrees C resulted in a decrease in the palmitic acid content of the lipopolysaccharide from 19.4% of total fatty acids at 43 degrees C to 1.4% at 15 degrees C, and by the appearance of an unsaturated fatty acid residue, hexadecenoic acid. Changes in the 3-hydroxy-myristic acid content of the lipid A were minimal. The decrease in the growth temperature also resulted in a decrease in the saturated fatty acid content of the phospholipid fraction, which was accompanied by an increase in their fluidity, as measured by the freedom of motion of spin-labeled fatty acids incorporated into dispersions made of the phospholipids. Nevertheless, the fluidity obtained with membrane phospholipids extracted from the cells grown at various temperatures were essentially the same when fluidity was determined at the growth temperature, supporting the hypothesis that variations in the fatty acid composition of membrane phospholipids serve to produce membranes having a constant fluidity at different temperatures of growth. 相似文献

Temperature- and surfactant-induced membrane modifications that alter Listeria monocytogenes nisin sensitivity by different mechanisms 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Nisin interacts with target membranes in four sequential steps: binding, insertion, aggregation, and pore formation. Alterations in membrane composition might influence any of these steps. We hypothesized that cold temperatures (10 degrees C) and surfactant (0.1% Tween 20) in the growth medium would influence Listeria monocytogenes membrane lipid composition, membrane fluidity, and, as a result, sensitivity to nisin. Compared to the membranes of cells grown at 30 degrees C, those of L. monocytogenes grown at 10 degrees C had increased amounts of shorter, branched-chain fatty acids, increased fluidity (as measured by fluorescence anisotropy), and increased nisin sensitivity. When 0.1% Tween 20 was included in the medium and the cells were cultured at 30 degrees C, there were complex changes in lipid composition. They did not influence membrane fluidity but nonetheless increased nisin sensitivity. Further investigation found that these cells had an increased ability to bind radioactively labeled nisin. This suggests that the modification of the surfactant-adapted cell membrane increased nisin sensitivity at the binding step and demonstrates that each of the four steps can contribute to nisin sensitivity. 相似文献

The phospholipid and fatty acid composition of Alteromonas putrefaciens S29 (non-halophilic type) and A. haloplanktis S5B (halophilic type) was determined. Major phospholipids of both strains were the same when they were grown in media containing optimum salt concentrations. However, the fatty acid composition of phos-pholipids in strain S29 was remarkably different from that of strain S5B. Strain S29 contained iso-C15: 0 and eicosapentaenoic acid (20: 5) as constituent fatty acids of phospholipids and also contained sterol ester and wax as neutral lipids. In contrast, strain S5B did not contain branched and polyunsaturated fatty acids, and neither sterol ester nor wax were detected. 相似文献

The ability of numerous diverse compounds and ions to cross the bacterial cytoplasmic membrane by diffusion and active transport is highly dependent on cytoplasmic membrane fluidity, which can be measured using fluorescent probes to estimate membrane polarization values. However, membrane polarization data are lacking for most bacterial species. The cytoplasmic membrane polarization values for Arthrobacter sp. ATCC 21908, Bacillus cereus NRC 3045, Pseudomonas fluorescens R2F, Pseudomonas putida NRC 2986 and Escherichia coli C600 bacterial cells were spectrofluorometrically measured over a temperature range from 10 to 50 degrees C, and in the absence and presence of 1 microg/ml tetracycline, using the fluorescent probe 1,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-hexatriene (DPH) to obtain new information on their membrane fluidity. At an assay temperature of 10 degrees C, E. coli cells grown in the absence of tetracycline exhibited the highest cytoplasmic membrane polarization value (least fluid membrane) of 0.446, followed by values of 0.392, 0.371, 0.344 and 0.293, respectively, for B. cereus, Arthrobacter sp., P. fluorescens and P. putida. At an assay temperature of 30 degrees C, the polarization values ranged from 0.357 to 0.288 for cells grown in the absence of tetracycline, regardless of the species. B. cereus grown in the presence of 1 microg/ml tetracycline had lower polarization values than when grown in the absence of this antibiotic at all assay temperatures. Regardless of the absence or presence of 1 microg/ml tetracycline in the growth medium, all bacterial species generally exhibited a more fluid membrane as the assay temperature increased from 10 to 50 degrees C. To our knowledge, these are some of the first cytoplasmic membrane polarization values reported for these Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria over a broad temperature range and also for cells grown in the presence of tetracycline. 相似文献

1. Exogenously supplied, BSA complexed saturated and unsaturated fatty acids were compared for their effects on mitogen-induced DNA synthesis in channel catfish T and B lymphocytes. 2. At "permissive" in vitro temperatures (27 degrees C), high concentrations (greater than or equal to 240 microM) of all the fatty acids used were inhibitory. However, at lower concentrations (80-160 microM), differences were noted in the ability of some fatty acids to modulate mitogen responses. While palmitic acid (16:0) and linoleic acid (18:2) had little effect on LPS-induced B cell- or Con A-induced T cell proliferation, stearic acid (18:0) suppressed while oleic acid (18:1) enhanced T cell responses only. 3. Adding equimolar amounts of 18:0 and 18:1 obviated the effects of singularly added fatty acids on T cell mitogenesis. 4. 18:1 was used to successfully "rescue" approximately 60% of the Con A-induced T cell proliferation normally inhibited at "nonpermissive" in vitro temperatures (17 degrees C). 5. While B cells readily appear to desaturate 18:0 and synthesize unsaturated fatty acids, T cells accumulate comparatively large amounts of 18:0 in membrane associated phospholipids. 6. It is proposed that 18:1 enhances T cell responses at permissive high temperatures and rescues suppressed T cell responses at nonpermissive low temperatures by increasing membrane fluidity. 相似文献

Vibrio vulnificus, a Gram-negative bacterium found in estuarine waters, is responsible for over 95% of all seafood-related deaths in the United States. As a result of a temperature downshift to 5 degrees C, this organism enters the viable but nonculturable (VBNC) state. Changes in the membrane fatty acid (FA) composition of V. vulnificus may be a contributing factor to the ability of this organism to enter into and survive in the VBNC state. This hypothesis was tested by incubating the organism at 5 degrees C in artificial sea water and analyzing the cells' FAs during the initial hours of temperature and nutrient down-shift. Prior to downshift, the predominant FAs were 16:0, 16:1 and 18:0. During the first four hours of downshift, statistically significant changes occurred in 15:0, 16:1, 16:0, 17:0, and 18:0. These results indicate that changes in FA composition occur prior to entry of V. vulnificus into the VBNC state, suggesting that the ability to maintain membrane fluidity may be a factor in this physiological response. Cells in which fatty acid synthesis was inhibited did not survive, indicating that active fatty acid metabolism is essential for entry of cells into the VBNC state. 相似文献

Three Gram-positive bacterial strains, 7-3, 255-15 and 190-11, previously isolated from Siberian permafrost, were characterized and taxonomically classified. These microorganisms are rod-shaped, facultative aerobic, motile with peritrichous flagella and their growth ranges are from -2.5 to 40 degrees C. The chemotaxonomic markers indicated that the three strains belong to the genus Exiguobacterium. Their peptidoglycan type was A3alpha L-Lys-Gly. The predominant menaquinone detected in all three strains was MK7. The polar lipids present were phosphatidyl-glycerol, diphosphatidyl-glycerol and phosphatidyl-ethanolamine. The major fatty acids were iso-C13:0, anteiso-C13:0, iso-C15:0, C16:0 and iso-C17:0. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA and six diverse genes, gyrB (gyrase subunit B), rpoB (DNA-directed RNA polymerase beta subunit), recA (homologous recombination), csp (cold shock protein), hsp70 (ClassI-heat shock protein-chaperonin) and citC (isocitrate dehydrogenase), indicated that the strains were closely related to Exiguobacterium undae (DSM 14481(T)) and Exiguobacterium antarcticum (DSM 14480(T)). On the basis of the phenotypic characteristics, phylogenetic data and DNA-DNA reassociation data, strain 190-11 was classified as E. undae, while the other two isolates, 7-3 and 255-15, comprise a novel species, for which the name Exiguobacterium sibiricum sp. nov. is proposed. 相似文献

Mammalian cell metabolism is responding to changes in temperature. Body temperature is regulated around 37 degrees C, but temperatures of exposed skin areas may vary between 20 degrees C and 40 degrees C for extended periods of time without apparent disturbance of adequate cellular functions. Cellular membrane functions are depending from temperatures but also from their lipid environment, which is a major component of membrane fluidity. Temperature-induced changes of membrane fluidity may be counterbalanced by adaptive modification of membrane lipids. Temperature-dependent changes of whole cell- and of purified membrane lipids and possible homeoviscous adaptation of membrane fluidity have been studied in human skin fibroblasts cultured at 30 degrees C, 37 degrees C, and 40 degrees C for ten days. Membrane anisotropy was measured by polarized fluorescence spectroscopy using TMA-DPH for superficial and DPH for deeper membrane layers. Human fibroblasts were able to adapt themselves to hypothermic temperatures (30 degrees C) by modifying the fluidity of the deeper apolar regions of the plasma membranes as reported by changes of fluorescence anisotropy due to appropriate changes of their plasma membrane lipid composition. This could not be shown for the whole cells. At 40 degrees C growth temperature, adaptive changes of the membrane lipid composition, except for some changes in fatty acid compositions, were not seen. Independent from the changes of the membrane lipid composition, the fluorescence anisotropy of the more superficial membrane layers (TMA-DPH) increased in cells growing at 30 degrees C and decreased in cells growing at 40 degrees C. 相似文献

A Gram-negative, aerobic, golden yellow, rod-shaped bacterium, a strain designated ICGEB-L15(T), was isolated from the larval midgut of Anopheles stephensi captured in District Jhajjar, Haryana, India. The strain ICGEB-L15(T) grows at 30-50°C (optimum 30-37°C), pH 6.5-8.5 (optimum 7.0-8.0) and in the presence of 2% NaCl. The major fatty acids were iso-C(15:0) (22.5% of total fatty acid), anteiso-C(15:0) (16.5%), iso-C(17:1) 9c (10.3%), iso-C(16:0) (7.3%), C(16:0) (6.1%), and iso-C(11:0) (5.3%). The strain showed the highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities with the type strains Pseudoxanthomonas daejeonensis KCTC 12207(T) (97.4%), Pseudoxanthomonas kaohsiungensis J36(T) (97.17%), and Pseudoxanthomonas mexicana AMX 26B(T) (97.11%). The DNA relatedness between ICGEB-L15(T) and Pseudoxanthomonas daejeonensis KCTC 12207(T), Pseudoxanthomonas kaohsiungensis J36(T) and Pseudoxanthomonas mexicana AMX 26B(T) was 24.5%, 28.2%, and 33.6%, respectively. The G+C content of genomic DNA was 69.9 mol%. The major isoprenoid quinone of strain ICGEB-L15(T) was Q-8. The strain ICGEB-L15(T) represents a novel species of the genus Pseudoxanthomonas based on physiological, biochemical and phylogenetic properties; therefore, the name Pseudoxanthomonas icgebensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is ICGEB-L15(T) (=KACC 14090(T) =DSM 22536(T)). 相似文献
