以金黄色葡萄球菌、枯草芽孢杆菌、大肠杆菌为测试菌种。对杜仲(Eucommia ulmoides Oliv.)根、茎、叶中分离出的20株内生真菌及其次生代谢物进行抗菌活性筛选。结果表明：有15个菌株至少对1种实验细菌具有抑菌活性,19株的代谢产物至少对1种实验细菌具有抑菌活性,其中有3株内生真菌及其次生代谢产物对测试病原细菌均有较强抑制作用。     

beta-Glucuronidase activities of intestinal bacteria determined both in vitro and in vivo in gnotobiotic rats.

The beta-glucuronidase activities of bacterial strains isolated from the rat intestinal tract were studied both in vitro in culture media and in vivo in the intestinal contents of gnotobiotic rats. Only 50 of 407 strains tested were found to be positive in vitro. They belonged to the three genera Clostridium, Peptostreptococcus, and Staphylococcus. The in vitro-negative strains were also negative in vivo. The beta-glucuronidase activities of the beta-glucuronidase activities of the positive strains were generally greater in vivo than in vitro. The highest in vivo activities were found in the intact bacterial cells and in the soluble fractions prepared from disrupted pellets. There was a discrepancy between the activities obtained from both conventional and gnotobiotic rats harboring selected positive strains, suggesting that the main beta-glucuronidase-positive strains have not yet been isolated from the intestines of conventional rats.

Taxonomic distribution of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Streptomyces</Emphasis> species capable of producing bioactive compounds among strains preserved at NITE/NBRC

The taxonomic distribution of Streptomyces species capable of producing bioactive compounds was investigated. Nine hundred and six strains were tested for the following four biological activities: antimicrobial, anti-tyrosinase, antioxidant, and hemolytic. Approximately 30% of strains tested showed antimicrobial activities, except for anti-Escherichia coli activity, which was present in only a few strains, while the rates of positivity for the anti-tyrosinase, antioxidant, and hemolytic activities were much lower. The distribution of Streptomyces strains capable of producing bioactive compounds was analyzed by the taxonomy based on 16S rRNA gene sequences. Moreover, the strains of Streptomyces hygroscopicus tested were divided into two clades in the phylogenetic tree, and all of the strains belonging to one clade showed antibacterial and antifungal activities. For detection of polyenes, the UV-visible spectra of metabolic extracts in the strains showing antifungal activities were measured. It was suggested that Streptomyces strains produce universal active compounds under different growth conditions. Further information on the relationship between the microbial taxonomy and the bioactive compounds produced would be useful for the utilization of industrial microorganisms.

采用盆栽接种试验、平皿涂抹法测数及常规酶活测定法研究了7株拮抗性放线菌在辣椒根部的定殖能力及接种24d对辣椒叶片苯丙氨酸解氨酶（PAl。）与多酚氧化酶活性（PPO）的诱导效应。结果表明：（1）供试7株放线菌单独接种均不能在辣椒根内定殖,但与辣椒疫霉P3混合接种时有5株可定殖;供试放线菌在辣椒根部的定殖能力与其体外平皿试验中产生的的拈抗圈大小基本无关;可定殖放线菌的定殖密度随时间延长而降低,至40d时均无活菌检出。（2）在放线菌单接处理中,5株菌接种后可诱导辣椒叶片PAL,活性提高,全部供试菌均能诱导PPO活性提高,其中可使两种酶同步提高的有5株菌;在放线菌＋P3混接处理中,有6株接种后可诱导PAL,活性提高,5株菌能诱导PPO活性提高,其中可使两种酶同步提高的有4株菌;在接入放线菌时同时混接辣椒疫霉,能增强2株供试放线菌对辣椒叶片PAL活性及6株供试放线菌对辣椒叶片PPO活性的诱导作用;供试放线菌的定殖能力与辣椒叶片PAL及PPO活性变化无明显规律性关系。     

Fructose 6-phosphate phosphorylation in Bacteroides species.

6-Phosphofructokinase (6-PFK) activities have been measured in cell extracts from a number of Bacteroides species. Two main types of 6-PFK were found: an ATP-linked 6-PFK and a PPi-linked 6-PFK. In most strains both of these activities were found, although in two strains only ATP-linked 6-PFK was present. The PPi-linked 6-PFK activity was always higher, when both activities were present, and showed Michaelis-Menten kinetics with respect to fructose 6-phosphate. In contrast, the ATP-linked 6-PFK activity usually gave sigmoid kinetics with respect to fructose 6-phosphate, although several strains were found to have activities with Michaelis-Menten kinetics. Conditions for measuring maximum activities of ATP-linked 6-PFK were not identical for different strains, and the activities were rather unstable in extracts. The possible consequences of the observation that most Bacteroides strains possess both an ATP-linked and a PPi-linked 6-PFK are discussed.

Occurrence of restriction-modification systems in ruminal butyrate-producing bacteria

Thirty-five strains of ruminal bacteria belonging to the former Butyrivibrio fibrisolvens species were screened for the presence of site-specific restriction endonuclease and modification methyltransferase activities. Seven strains possessed endonuclease activities detectable in crude cell extracts. The recognition sequences and optimal reaction conditions for seven of them were determined. Five enzymes were found to be isoschizomers of type II endonucleases (EcoRV, NsiI, AseI (2x) and SauI), one was type IIS (FokI) and two remained unknown. The optimal reaction buffer was found to be a low ionic strength buffer and all enzymes possessed sufficient activity at 39 degrees C. The presence of DNA modification among all strains was also determined. Most of the methylation activities correlated with restriction activities, yet some strains possessed unaccompanied modification methyltransferases.     

Evidence for Superoxide Dismutase and Catalase in Mollicutes and Release of Reactive Oxygen Species

The presence of superoxide dismutase was demonstrated in 21 strains of mollicutes, including achuloplas-mas, mycoplasmas and ureaplasmas. Additionally, catalase activities were demonstrated in nearly 50% of the cell lysates. whereas no peroxide activities were detectable. The production of O₂-and H₂O₂ with glucose as substrate was demonstrated for 8 strains of 10 strains tested. Anaerobic mycoplasmas showed the highest amount of radical production, whereas superoxide dismutase and catalase activities were in the range of activities estimated for aerobic mollicutes. Some pathogenic strains additionally released compounds into the culture medium, which stimulated O₂-production by PMNs.     

Catalase and superoxide dismutase activities after heat injury of Listeria monocytogenes

Four strains of Listeria monocytogenes were examined for catalase (CA) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activities. The two strains having the highest CA activities (LCDC and Scott A) also possessed the highest SOD activities. The CA activity of heated cell extracts of all four strains examined decreased sharply between 55 and 60 degrees C. SOD was more heat labile than CA. Two L. monocytogenes strains demonstrated a decline in SOD activity after heat treatment at 45 degrees C, whereas the other two strains demonstrated a decline at 50 degrees C. Sublethal heating of the cells at 55 degrees C resulted in increased sensitivity to 5.5% NaCl. Exogenous hydrogen peroxide was added to suspensions of L. monocytogenes; strains producing the highest CA levels showed the greatest H2O2 resistance.

β-Galactosidase and 6-phospho-β-galactosidase activities in strains of the Lactobacillus acidophilus complex

β-Galactosidase (β-gal) and 6-phospho-β-galactosidase (P-β-gal) activities were measured in a total of 34 strains from Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus crispatus, Lactobacillus amylovorus, Lactobacillus gasseri and Lactobacillus johnsonii. The Lact. gasseri strains have P-β-gal but little or no β-gal activities. The strains from other species have β-gal but only very little P-β-gal activities.     

部分正常菌群分离菌株的超氧化歧化酶活性的测定

为了进一步研究部分正常菌群的生理和病理机制,我们测定了这些菌株的SOD活性和脂质过氧化物(LPO)变化,发现皮肤常住菌的分离株的混合培养时,SOD活性增加,说明它们具有协同作用。此外,对其它菌株SOD活性测定结果可知,类杆菌和双歧杆菌的SOD活性最低,其它菌株也有一定的SOD活性,如乳杆菌的SOD活性为47.47～98.98μg/ml,大肠杆菌的SOD活性为127.12μg/ml肠球菌的SOD活性为172.5μg/ml。     

Screening for and identification of starch-, amylopectin-, and pullulan-degrading activities in bifidobacterial strains

Forty-two bifidobacterial strains were screened for alpha-amylase and/or pullulanase activity by investigating their capacities to utilize starch, amylopectin, or pullulan. Of the 42 bifidobacterial strains tested, 19 were capable of degrading potato starch. Of these 19 strains, 11 were able to degrade starch and amylopectin, as well as pullulan. These 11 strains, which were shown to produce extracellular starch-degrading activities, included 5 strains of Bifidobacterium breve, 1 B. dentium strain, 1 B. infantis strain, 3 strains of B. pseudolongum, and 1 strain of B. thermophilum. Quantitative and qualitative enzyme activities were determined by measuring the concentrations of released reducing sugars and by high-performance thin-layer chromatography, respectively. These analyses confirmed both the inducible nature and the extracellular nature of the starch- and pullulan-degrading enzyme activities and showed that the five B. breve strains produced an activity that is consistent with type II pullulanase (amylopullulanase) activity, while the remaining six strains produced an activity with properties that resemble those of type III pullulan hydrolase.
