Epothilones, produced from the myxobacterium Sorangium cellulosum, are potential anticancer agents that stabilize microtubules in a similar manner to paclitaxel. The entire epothilone biosynthetic
gene cluster was heterologously expressed in an engineered strain of Streptomyces venezuelae bearing a deletion of pikromycin polyketide synthase gene cluster. The resulting strains produced approximately 0.1 μg/l
of epothilone B as a sole product after 4 days cultivation. Deletion of an epoF encoding the cytochrome P450 epoxidase gave rise to a mutant that selectively produces 0.4 μg/l of epothilone D. To increase
the production level of epothilones B and D, an additional copy of the positive regulatory gene pikD was introduced into the chromosome of both S. venezuleae mutant strains. The resulting strains showed enhanced production of corresponding compounds (approximately 2-fold). However,
deletion of putative transport genes, orf3 and orf14 in the epothilone D producing S. venezuelae mutant strain, led to an approximately 3-fold reduction in epothilone D production. These results introduce S. venezuelae as an alternative heterologous host for the production of these valuable anticancer agents and demonstrate the possibility
of engineering this strain as a generic heterologous host for the production of polyketides and hybrid polyketide-nonribosomal
peptides. 相似文献

Fusarium graminearum clade species are among the main causative agents of Gibberella ear rot (GER) in maize and responsible for the various trichothecene mycotoxins accumulated in contaminated maize grains. In this study, a total of 620 isolates from diseased maize ears collected from 59 districts in 19 provinces throughout China, previously identified morphologically as Fusarium graminearum clade, was genetically characterized at the species level based on SCAR (Sequence Characterized Amplified Region) and for their potential capability of mycotoxin production using the genetic chemotyping assay. The results showed that 359 isolates were F. asiaticum (SCAR 5), which consisted of 97% nivalenol (NIV)‐chemotypes, 0.8% 3‐acetyldeoxynivalenol (3‐ADON)‐producing isolates and 2.2% 15‐acetyldeoxynivalenol (15‐ADON) producers, whereas the remaining 261 isolates were identified as F. graminearum sensu stricto (SCAR 1), all of which produced 15‐ADON mycotoxins. This high proportion of NIV producers present in F. asiaticum is different from the chemotype patterns in F. asiaticum populations isolated from wheat and barley, where DON and its acetylated chemotypes were the predominant mycotoxins. Moreover, the majority of NIV producers (59.1%) and all the 3‐ADON‐producing strains were derived from the warmer regions in southern China, whereas most of the 15‐ADON‐producing strains (78.4%) were isolated from the colder regions in northern China. Our study is the first report of NIV chemotypes of F. asiaticum and 15‐ADON chemotypes of F. graminearum sensu stricto that were associated with the GER of maize in China. 相似文献

Recently, the epothilone polyketide synthase (PKS) was successfully introduced into a heterologous production host for the
large-scale production of epothilone D. We have found that at least three other epothilones can also be produced as the major
fermentation product of this recombinant strain by supplementation of specific substrates to the production media. Addition
of acetate or propionate to the media results in modulation of the epothilone D:C ratio, whereas addition of l-serine with either acetate or propionate yields epothilone H1 or H2 as the major product. This strategy permits production of at least four novel epothilones by culturing a single host with
a genetically modified epothilone PKS in various media. Journal of Industrial Microbiology & Biotechnology (2002) 28, 17–20 DOI: 10.1038/sj/jim/7000209

The occurrence of extended-spectrum-β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing strains in the community was investigated in a private laboratory
located in Juiz de Fora, Brazil. All enterobacterial isolates analysed were collected from urine of human patients between
the years 2000 and 2002. ESBL production was confirmed by double disk screening, combination disk method, and Etest ESBL strip.
The isoelectric point of each β-lactamase was determined in the crude extracts from each isolate. Detection of ESBL genes
was performed by polymerase chain reaction and the genetic relatedness of the isolates determined by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis
(PFGE). Of the 1,481 isolates, 22 (12 Klebsiella pneumoniae, 7 Escherichia coli, 1 Providencia stuartii, 1 Citrobacter freundii, and 1 Serratia marcescens) were identified as ESBL producers. The frequency of ESBL producers in the community was 1.48%. TEM-type enzymes were identified
in 95.4% of the isolates, followed by the SHV type. Seven strains produced CTX-M–type enzymes. This study showed that strains
producing multiple β-lactamases are also present in community-acquired bacterial isolates. Multiple strains exhibiting identical
PFGE genotypes were found in individual patients indicating a common source of acquisition. 相似文献

Screening of different contaminated environments for polyhydroxyalkanoates-producing bacterial strains 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Total sixteen bacterial strains were isolated and purified from the samples collected from sugarcane molasses soil, sewage
water and long-chain-hydrocarbon-contaminated area of the Punjab University, Lahore, Pakistan. Tolerance to different antibiotics
was studied and strains showed multiple antibiotic resistance. All strains were characterized for Gram stain, biochemical
reactions and polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) production. Total fourteen strains were Gram negative and two were Gram positive,
while biochemically nine PHA producers showed affiliation to Pseudomonas, Enterobacter, Citrobacter, Bacillus and Escherichia. Screening for PHA production was done by Sudan black staining and nine out of sixteen strains exhibited PHA producing ability.
PHA production was optimized for different growth parameters, like nitrogen concentration, pH and temperature. PHA extraction
was done by solvent extraction method. Bacterial strains US1 and M1 accumulated up to 30% PHA of their cell dry weight on
PHA extraction by solvent extraction method. Bacterial strain US1 was identified by 16S rRNA gene analysis as P. aeruginosa (DQ455691). PHA production was confirmed by PCR amplification of 500 bp fragment from PHA polymerase (Pha C) gene; five strains from nine PHA producers gave positive results on PCR. Pha C gene fragment of US1 was sequenced and submitted to Gene Bank under the accession number DQ455690. The amino acid sequence
showed homology using the protein BLAST at 129–132 sites with different PHA synthases of the Pseudomonas sp. 相似文献

Aims: The isolation and partial characterization of anti‐Listeria bacteriocin producing strains present in milk from areas of northern Greece in view of their potential use as protective cultures in food fermentations. Methods and Results: Three hundred and thirty‐two isolates were obtained from milk samples intended for Feta cheese production and gathered from 40 individual producers in Northern Greece. Isolates with anti‐Listeria activity were identified by multiplex PCR as Enterococcus faecium and grouped by (GTG)5‐PCR. The genomes of the anti‐Listeria isolates were examined for the presence of known enterocin genes and major virulence genes by means of specific PCR. At least three known enterocin encoding genes were present in the genome of each of the 17 isolates. None of the 17 isolates harboured any of the virulence genes tested for or exhibited haemolytic activity. Conclusions: Enterococcus faecium was the dominant anti‐Listeria species in the milk samples. The isolates had the potential of multiple bacteriocin production and did not exhibit some important elements of virulence. Significance and Impact of the Study: Enterococci present in milk of this area of northern Greece may be partly responsible for the safety of Feta cheese and could be useful for the production of anti‐Listeria protective cultures. 相似文献

Acquired carbapenemases currently pose one of the most worrying public health threats related to antimicrobial resistance. A NDM‐1‐producing Salmonella Corvallis was reported in 2013 in a wild raptor. Further research was needed to understand the role of wild birds in the transmission of bacteria resistant to carbapenems. Our aim was to investigate the presence of carbapenem‐resistant Escherichia coli in gulls from southern France. In 2012, we collected 158 cloacal swabs samples from two gull species: yellow‐legged gulls (Larus michahellis) that live in close contact with humans and slender‐billed gulls (Chroicocephalus genei) that feed at sea. We molecularly compared the carbapenem‐resistant bacteria we isolated through culture on selective media with the carbapenem‐susceptible strains sampled from both gull species and from stool samples of humans hospitalized in the study area. The genes coding for carbapenemases were tested by multiplex PCR. We isolated 22 carbapenem‐resistant E. coli strains from yellow‐legged gulls while none were isolated from slender‐billed gulls. All carbapenem‐resistant isolates were positive for blaVIM‐1 gene. VIM‐1‐producing E. coli were closely related to carbapenem‐susceptible strains isolated from the two gull species but also to human strains. Our results are alarming enough to make it urgently necessary to determine the contamination source of the bacteria we identified. More generally, our work highlights the need to develop more bridges between studies focusing on wildlife and humans in order to improve our knowledge of resistant bacteria transmission routes. 相似文献

Aims: (i) To cultivate methicillin‐resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) from a full‐scale wastewater treatment plant (WWTP), (ii) To characterize the indigenous MRSA‐flora, (iii) To investigate how the treatment process affects clonal distribution and (iv) To examine the genetic relation between MRSA from wastewater and clinical MRSA. Methods: Wastewater samples were collected during 2 months at four key sites in the WWTP. MRSA isolates were characterized using spa typing, antibiograms, SSCmec typing and detection of Panton–Valentine leukocidin (PVL). Conclusions: MRSA could be isolated on all sampling occasions, but only from inlet and activated sludge. The number of isolates and diversity of MRSA were reduced by the treatment process, but there are indications that the process was selected for strains with more extensive antibiotic resistance and PVL+ strains. The wastewater MRSA‐flora had a close genetic relationship to clinical isolates, most likely reflecting carriage in the community. Significance and Impact of the Study: This study shows that MRSA survives in wastewater and that the WWTP may be a potential reservoir for MRSA. 相似文献

Three kinds of PMQR determinants (qnr genes, aac(6’)‐Ib‐cr, and qepA) have been discovered and shown to be widely distributed among clinical isolates. To characterize the prevalence of PMQR determinants in ESBL or AmpC‐producing E. coli clinical isolates in Chinese children, a total of 292 ESBL or AmpC‐producing E. coli clinical isolates collected from five children's hospitals in China from 2005 to 2006 were screened for PMQR determinants by PCR. Twenty (6.8%) of the 292 isolates were positive for PMQR determinants. A total of 12 (4.1%) isolates were positive for qnr genes, comprising three positive for qnrA (1.0%), three for qnrB (1.0%), and six for qnrS (2.1%). Twenty‐four (8.2%) isolates were positive for aac(6’)‐Ib, of which 10 (3.4% of 292) had the –cr variant. There was no qepA gene detected in the isolates. Conjugation revealed that qnr, aac(6’)‐Ib‐cr, and ESBL‐encoding genes were transferred together. 相似文献

Isolation and characterization of Bacillus thuringiensis strains from olive-related habitats in Turkey 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Aims: To isolate Bacillus thuringiensis strains from different olive‐related habitats (olive groves and olive oil factories) in Turkey and to characterize these strains by molecular methods. Methods and Results: A total of 150 samples, consisting of olive grove soil, green olive leaves, olive leaf residues, animal faeces, olive pomace and dust, were examined for the presence of B. thuringiensis. One hundred B. thuringiensis strains were isolated from 54 environmental samples (36%) and characterized in terms of crystal morphology, cry and cyt gene content by polymerase chain reaction, plasmid profiles and 16S‐internal transcribed spacer ribosomal DNA restriction fragment length polymorphism (16S‐ITS rDNA RFLP). The highest percentage of samples containing B. thuringiensis was found in 38 out of 54 total soil samples (70%). Of the 100 B. thuringiensis isolates, the most frequent crystal shapes were irregularly shaped (24%), spherical‐irregular pointed (19%), cuboidal (17%) and spherical (16%). The cry1 plus cry4 genotype was the most abundant genotype in our collection (21%). RFLP analysis of the amplified 16S‐ITS rDNA revealed 11 distinct patterns for the isolates and 10 reference strains. Conclusions: Bacillus thuringiensis isolates showed a great genetic diversity and crystal shape heterogeneity. Significance and Impact of the Study: This is the first study on the isolation and characterization of B. thuringiensis from olive‐related habitats in Turkey. No correlation was observed between the cry genotypes and insecticidal crystal shapes of the isolates. Restriction profiles of 23% of the isolates were found to be different from those of the 10 reference strains used. 相似文献

The use of insect pathogens is a viable alternative for insect control because of their relative specificity and lower environmental impact. The search for wild strains against dipterans could have an impact on mosquito control programs. We have made an extensive screening of soil in western Cuba to find bacteria with larvicidal activity against mosquitoes. A total of 150 soil samples were collected and isolates were identifying using the API 50 CHB gallery. Phenotypic characteristics were analyzed by hierarchical ascending classification. Quantitative bioassays were conducted under laboratory conditions following the World Health Organization protocol in order to ascertain the toxicity and efficacy of isolates. The protein profiles of the crystal components were determined by SDS‐PAGE. Eight hundred and eighty‐one bacterial isolates were obtained, and 13 isolates with entomopathogenic activity were isolated from nine samples. Nine isolates displayed higher entomopathogenic activity against both Cx. quinquefasciatus and Ae. aegypti compared with the reference strain 266/2. All toxic isolates showed higher biological potency than the 266/2 strain. These isolates with high entomopathogenic activity displayed a protein pattern similar to the B. thuringiensis var. israelensis IPS‐82 and 266/2 strains. These results are a valuable tool for the control of Diptera of medical importance. 相似文献

Aims: Aim of this study is to determine the genetic variation of rhizobia associated with horse gram [Macrotyloma uniflorum (Lam.) Verdc.] plants grown in different regions of Andhra Pradesh, India. Methods and Results: Four representative isolates having most representative characters from the previous characterization were selected for 16S rRNA sequence. The sequences were submitted to the NCBI GenBank and Ribosomal Database Project (RDP). The isolates HGR‐4, 6 and 13 showed more than 99% homology between them and they were grouped with Rhizobium reference strains where as the isolate HGR‐25 showed 87·1, 87·4 and 87·2% homology with the isolates HGR‐4, 6 and 13, respectively, and were grouped with reference strains for Caulobacter. The nodulation ability of these isolates on horse gram was confirmed by inoculation tests. Conclusions: The isolate HGR‐25 was identified as Caulobacter isolated from the plants growing in soil samples collected from Khareemnagar district, Andhra Pradesh, India. Inoculation tests revealed that Caulobacter formed nodules on horse gram. It was also confirmed by RDP. Significance and Impact of the Study: This is the first report that a legume was nodulated by a member of the genus Caulobacter, which belongs to the family Caulobacteriaceae in the order Caulobacterales of Alphaproteobacteria. 相似文献

A total of 11 bacterial strains were assayed for bacteria‐induced trap formation in the nematode‐trapping fungus Arthrobotrys oligospora YMF1·01883 with two‐compartmented Petri dish. These strains were identified on the basis of their 16S rRNA gene sequences. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) of eight isolates were extracted using solid‐phase micro‐extraction (SPME) and their structures were identified based on gas chromatography‐mass spectrometry (GC‐MS). At the same time, all isolates were used for quantitative measurement of ammonia by the indophenol blue method. The effects of pure commercial compounds on inducement of trap formation in A. oligospora were tested. Taken together, results demonstrated that the predominant bacterial volatile compound inducing trap formation was ammonia. Meanwhile, ammonia also played a role in other nematode‐trapping fungi, including Arthrobotrys guizhouensis YMF1·00014, producing adhesive nets; Dactylellina phymatopaga YMF1·01474, producing adhesive knobs; Dactylellina cionopaga YMF1·01472, producing adhesive columns and Drechslerella brochopaga YMF1·01829, producing constricting rings. 相似文献

Aims: To examine the variability among Pasteurella multocida strains isolated from pigs (nasal, tonsil and lung specimens) and humans in France. Methods and Results: The genetic diversity of 117 French isolates of P. multocida, obtained from pigs (n = 101) and humans (n = 16) and three reference strains, was evaluated by pulsed‐field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) after macrorestriction with ApaI. Sixty‐four patterns were detected. The genetic relationships revealed five clusters (Aa1, Aa2, Aa3, Ab and B). The pig isolates obtained from pneumonic lungs and nasal cavities were clustered in groups Ab and Aa1, respectively (P < 0·05). Up to four different PFGE patterns were detected in the same farm. Isolates producing dermonecrotic toxins were clustered only in group Aa1, suggesting that the toxigenic isolates were more genetically homogenous than the others. Conversely, cluster Aa3 was significantly associated with human isolates even if the human isolates are spread over most of the clusters. Conclusions: Pasteurella multocida strains were genetically diverse, but pig and human isolates were significantly clustered in distinct phylogenetic groups. Significance and Impact of the Study: The discrimination index was >0·95 in both populations of human and pig isolates. Therefore, ApaI‐PFGE seems to be a useful tool for epidemiological tracing of P. multocida infections. 相似文献

Aims: To investigate the genetic diversity among S. Enteritidis isolates from different geographic regions to evaluate the relationship between phage types (PTs) and variable number tandem repeat analysis (VNTR) loci. Methods and Results: We performed multiple‐locus variable number tandem repeat analysis (MLVA) and phage typing on 245 S. Enteritidis isolates collected from sporadic human clinical cases in Michigan, Minnesota, New York, and Washington states between 2000 and 2007. Ninety‐four MLVA types and 22 different PTs were identified. Specific PTs were associated with a predominant allele for certain VNTR loci. Cluster analysis using a minimum‐spanning tree demonstrated two major clusters (I, II) and one minor cluster of isolates. PTs 8, 13a, 13 and 34 were significantly associated with MLVA cluster I. Phage types 1, 4, 6a, and 18 were significantly associated with MLVA cluster II. Conclusions: We found significant association between MLVA‐based clusters and PTs. Certain VNTR loci were associated with specific PTs and could serve as useful molecular markers for S. Enteritidis in epidemiological investigations. Significance and Impact of the Study: MLVA genotyping in combination with phage typing can be used for effective characterization of S. Enteritidis isolates. It can also be useful for tracing possible sources during investigations of sporadic and outbreak cases of S. Enteritidis. 相似文献

Nine hundred and forty‐one samples were collected in Sa Keao, Thailand (n = 554) and Banteay Meanchey, Cambodia (n = 387) from July 2014 to January 2015. A total of 667 Escherichia coli isolates (381 isolates from Sa Keao and 286 isolates from Banteay Meanchey) were obtained and examined for antimicrobial susceptibility, class 1 integrons, ESBL genes and horizontal transfer of resistance determinants. Prevalence of E. coli in pig and broiler carcass samples from slaughterhouses and fresh markets was 36–85% in Sa Keao and 11–69% in Banteay Meanchey. The majority of these isolates were multidrug resistant (75.3%). Class 1 integrons were common in both Thai (47%) and Cambodian (62%) isolates, of which four resistance gene cassette arrays including aadA1, dfrA1‐aadA1, dfrA12‐aadA2 and aadA2‐linF were identified. Class 1 integrons in two broiler isolates from Sa Keao (dfrA12‐aadA2) and one broiler isolate from Banteay Meanchey (dfrA1‐aadA1) were horizontally transferable. Sixteen isolates were confirmed to be ESBL‐producing strains with ESBL gene blaCTX‐M‐15, broad spectrum β‐lactamase gene blaTEM‐1 and the AmpC gene blaCMY‐2 being detected. The blaTEM‐1 gene was most prevalent and located on a conjugative plasmid. 相似文献

One hundred isolates were trapped by soybean (Glycine max) plants inoculated with a soil from the Cerrados, the main producing area in Brazil. The soil was originally void of rhizobia able to nodulate soybean, and 15 years before received inoculant containing Bradyrhizobium elkanii strains SEMIA 587 and SEMIA 5019; the area has been annually cropped with soybean since then, but with no further inoculation for the past 7 years. Enormous diversity was observed among the isolates, with thirteen serologically distinct groups, twelve protein and seven lipopolysaccharide profiles; no more than five isolates shared similar characteristics. An unexpected feature was that 48% of the isolates showed multiple reactions with the antisera to the serogroups established in the soils. Also 40% of the isolates reacted with the antiserum to B. japonicum strain SEMIA 566, that has never been introduced into the soil, probably due to dispersion from other cropping areas, associated with its high saprophytic competence; 13% of the isolates did not react with any of the antisera. Nodulation and N2 fixation capacity also varied considerably among the isolates. Although one third of the isolates were fast growers with an acid reaction in vitro, and many formed pseudo-nodules on common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris), they shared several properties with the Bradyrhizobium inoculant strains. A high level of genetic diversity was confirmed when the DNAs were amplified with BOX and RPO1 primers, and several isolates were positioned in far different clusters in the analysis of interspersed repetitive or nif-directed sequences. Moreover, serological properties showed higher correlation with BOX than with RPO1 products. The high diversity could be attributed both to lateral transfer of genetic material between inoculant and indigenous strains and to genomic rearrangements during the adaptation to the Cerrados, and may play an important role as a biological buffer, avoiding the dominance of a particular strain. 相似文献

Rhizosphere bacteria affect growth and metal uptake of heavy metal accumulating willows 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Melanie Kuffner Markus Puschenreiter Gerlinde Wieshammer Markus Gorfer Angela Sessitsch 《Plant and Soil》2008,304(1-2):35-44
A variety of plants growing on metalliferous soils accumulate metals in their harvestable parts and have the potential to
be used for phytoremediation of heavy metal polluted land. There is increasing evidence that rhizosphere bacteria contribute
to the metal extraction process, but the mechanisms of this plant–microbe interaction are not yet understood. In this study
ten rhizosphere isolates obtained from heavy metal accumulating willows affiliating with Pseudomonas, Janthinobacterium, Serratia, Flavobacterium, Streptomyces and Agromyces were analysed for their effect on plant growth, Zn and Cd uptake. In plate assays Zn, Cd and Pb resistances and the ability
of the bacteria to produce indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), 1-amino-cyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid deaminase (ACC deaminase) and
siderophores were determined. The isolates showed resistance to high Zn concentrations, indicating an adaptation to high concentrations
of mobile Zn in the rhizosphere of Salix caprea. Four siderophore producers, two IAA producers and one strain producing both siderophores and IAA were identified. None of
the analysed strains produced ACC deaminase. Metal mobilization by bacterial metabolites was assessed by extracting Zn and
Cd from soil with supernatants of liquid cultures. Strain Agromyces AR33 almost doubled Zn and Cd extractability, probably by the relase of Zn and Cd specific ligands. The remaining strains,
immobilized both metals. When Salix caprea plantlets were grown in γ-sterilized, Zn/Cd/Pb contaminated soil and inoculated with the Zn resistant isolates, Streptomyces AR17 enhanced Zn and Cd uptake. Agromyces AR33 tendentiously promoted plant growth and thereby increased the total amount of Zn and Cd extracted from soil. The IAA
producing strains did not affect plant growth, and the siderophore producers did not enhance Zn and Cd accumulation. Apparently
other mechanisms than the production of IAA, ACC deaminase and siderophores were involved in the observed plant–microbe interactions. 相似文献

The aim of this study was to investigate the frequency, molecular characterization, virulence genes, resistance genes and antimicrobial profile of nosocomial extended spectrum beta lactamase producing Klebsiella species. A total of 22 (12.2%) K. pneumoniae strains were isolated from 180 clinical samples collected from hospitalized patients in Egypt. K. pneumoniae biotypes were B1 (72.8%), B3 (13.6%) and B4 (13.6%). The isolates were classified for the capsular serotypes, 86.4% (20/22) were of K1 serotype, while only two isolates (13.64%) were of K2 serotype. Hypermucoviscous K. pneumoniae isolates accounted for 68.2%. Biofilm formation ability of K. pneumoniae was determined by microtitre plate method. The majority of the isolates (40.9%) were moderate biofilm producers, while 27.3% were strong biofilm producers. All K. pneumoniae strains were positive for fimH and traT genes, while magA was identified in only 63.6% of the isolates. The antibiotic susceptibility profile of the isolates (n = 22) was determined by the disc diffusion technique using 23 different antibiotics. Streptomycin and imipenem are the most effective antibiotics against 22 tested K. pneumoniae isolates with sensitivity rates of 63.64% and 54.54% respectively. All tested K. pneumoniae isolates showed high resistance to amoxicillin∕clavulanate (100%), cefuroxime (100%) and ceftazidime (95.45%). Extended spectrum beta lactamases (ESBL) production and the presence of ESBL-related genes were tested in the isolates. All the isolates tested positive for blaVIM, NDM1 and blaTEM, while only 81.8 %tested positive for the blaSHV gene. Increasing antimicrobial resistance in K. pneumoniae causing nosocomial infections limits the use of antimicrobial agents for treatment. Furthermore, the spread of biofilm, multiple drug resistant and ESBL-producing K. pneumoniae isolates is a public threat for hospitalized patients. 相似文献
