Adenylate cyclase activity of Bordetella organisms. I. Its production in liquid medium 总被引:12,自引:0,他引:12
Abundant adenylate cyclase activity was found in the phase I cultures not only of Bordetella pertussis but also fo B. parapertussis and B. bronchiseptica. The enzyme activity in the culture fluid increased rapidly and reached a peak during the logarithmic growth phase. B. parapertussis and B. bronchiseptica especially produced a high activity of the enzyme in the culture fluid during the logarithmic phase, but little or no activity was detected in the cells throughout the growth period. In the culture of B. pertussis, the intracellular activity was higher than that in the culture fluid. Phase III cultures of these species lacked both the extracellular and intracellular enzyme activities throughout their growth. In the culture of B. parapertussis, accumulation of cyclic AMP was parallel to that of adenylate cyclase activity through the growth periods, but in B. pertussis there was no parallelism from the stationary through the declining phases. The difference in production patterns of the enzyme activity among the species is discussed. 相似文献

The relative amounts of two isoacceping species of tyrosine transfer ribonucleic acid, tRNATyrI and tRNATyrII, determined from reversed phase 5 profiles of tyrosyl-tRNA, prepared from Bacillus subtilis strain W168, were growth phase and medium dependent. The growth phase-dependent alterations in the relative amounts of tRNATyr species were also demonstrated in 11 asporogenous strains of B. subtilis. The proportion of tRNA-Tyr species and the extent of the alteration in their relative amounts during the transition from the exponential to the stationary phase of growth of these strains was not directly correlated with the formation of spores by strain W168 grown in various media or the stage at which the asporogenous strains are blocked in the process of sporulation. 相似文献

Thirty-eight different compounds were used with 17 species of Arthrobacter to determine their ability to support growth and to induce the morphogenic cycle. In most cases, when a compound supported growth, it also induced the rod phase of growth. However, in a few cases, a compound would support growth with cells remaining in the coccoidal phase throughout the growth cycle. Arthrobacter crystallopoietes was unique in the most compounds that supported growth did not induce the rod phase of the morphogenic cycle. 相似文献

The acylglycerol content of Saccharomyces cerevisiae has been examined during cellular growth. The cells maintained a constant amount of phospholipid and diacylglycerol throughout growth. Triacylglycerol content fell in the early exponential phase of growth and then increased sharply upon entry of the culture into the stationary growth phase. Pulse-chase experiments with [1-14C]oleic acid and [2-3H]- and [1-14C]glycerol indicated that the triacylglycerol molecule was utilized for phospholipid synthesis in early exponential phase probably through a diacylglycerol intermediate. A substantial turnover of phospholipid during growth was also apparent. No role for the triacylglycerol could be found in regulating the fatty acid species of the phospholipid nor in the storage of fatty acid for energy metabolism. 相似文献

Biotests with phytoplankton assemblages. Growth limitation along temporal and spatial gradients 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
Øivind Løvstad 《Hydrobiologia》1986,134(2):141-149
The development of eight different species (populations) along temporal and vertical gradients in several lakes was studied.
Many populations had an exponential growth phase and a decline phase. The growth rate was often high during the exponential
phase. Some species, e.g. Oscillatoria spp. and Synedra cf. acus, often also had a long stationary phase. The growth rate and the sinking rate of these populations were often very low.
Laboratory batch experiments with dilute phytoplankton populations were carried out to estimate the degree of growth limitation
(L) for different populations sample from different lakes during the three growth phases. L was always low and often zero
for populations initially in the exponential phase and always high for populations initially in the decline phase. The biotests
also gave results that can help to explain the vertical distribution of Oscillatoria or Asterionella in three lakes investigated.
The results indicate that the growth rates and the development of the populations were dependent on the external chemical
and physical conditions. The transition between the different growth phases seemed often to be dependent on the external nutrient
conditions. P, N, Si and Fe were probably the most growth-limiting nutrients. The growth rate of some diatoms was probably
limited directly or indirectly at high pH.
Laboratory biotests with natural populations may give valuable information on the growth-properties of different populations
in the lakes. The biotests should, however, be carried out in combination with chemical and physical measurements and quantitative
determinations of population densities. 相似文献

The effects of spatial variation of cells and nutrient and product concentration, in combination with product inhibition in cell growth kinetics on chondrocyte generation in a polymer scaffold, are analyzed. Experimental studies reported previously have demonstrated spatial dependence in the cultivation of chondrocytes. In the present study, the cell-polymer system is assumed to consist of two distinct phases. The cells, fluid, polymer matrix, and extracellular matrix comprise one phase, and the other phase consists of a fluid and polymer matrix. The only two species in the fluid considered to affect cell growth are the nutrient and product. The multiphase transport process of these two species in the cell-polymer system is described by the species continuity equations and corresponding boundary conditions for each individual phase. A volume-averaging approach is utilized for this system to derive averaged species continuity equations for the nutrient and product concentrations. The volume-averaging approach allows for a single species in a two-phase system to be represented by a single averaged continuity equation. Competitive product inhibition, saturation kinetics of substrate, and cell population control are assumed to affect the cell growth kinetics. A modified Contois growth kinetic model is used to represent the three factors that affect cell growth. A parameter analysis is performed and the results are compared qualitatively with experimental data found in the literature. 相似文献

Summary The relationships between the amounts of foliage and heights of trees were studied for the dominant understory tree species, including three evergreen and three deciduous species, in a secondary forest of Chamaecyparis obtusa Endl. The relationships showed two phases: leaf increasing and stationary phases. In the leaf-increasing phase, the height growth allowed these species to expand the canopy by increasing the number of leaves. In the stationary phase, the number of leaves was relatively constant number irrespective of tree height from 160 to 400 cm. The number of leaves in the stationary phase represents the maximum number of leaves that can be supported by trees under shady conditions. From the analyses of vertical distributions of leaves in six species, mono- and multi-layer foliage distributions were detected. Two evergreen species, Eurya japonica and Cleyera japonica, showed multi-layer foliage distributions, whereas three deciduous species, Lyonia ovalifolia, Rhododendron reticulatum and Vaccinium hirtum, and one evergreen species, Pieris japonica, showed mono-layer foliage distributions. The relationships between the weights of non-photosynthetic and photosynthetic organs of the six species were examined. The proportion of non-photosynthetic organs increased with tree height. The understory species attained the stationary phase and were maintained by minimizing their investment in non-photosynthetic organs, i.e. their height growth was arrested by the shady conditions under the crown trees. 相似文献

A new species ofChromobacterium was isolated from open ocean waters. While it possessed somewhat different flagellar characteristics than some described species it demonstrated enough affinities to establish it in the genusChromobacterium. Under optimum conditions this organism had an unusually short generation time as well as an unusually rapid transition from the lag phase of growth to the death phase. It is suggested that this characteristic is one of the major reasons that organisms of this type have not, in the past, been successfully transferred from isolation plates inoculated with samples of sea water. The proposed name isChromobacterium marinum. 相似文献

The fis operon from Salmonella typhimurium has been cloned and sequenced, and the properties of Fis-deficient and Fis-constitutive strains were examined. The overall fis operon organization in S. typhimurium is the same as that in Escherichia coli, with the deduced Fis amino acid sequences being identical between both species. While the open reading frames upstream of fis have diverged slightly, the promoter regions between the two species are also identical between -49 and +94. Fis protein and mRNA levels fluctuated dramatically during the course of growth in batch cultures, peaking at approximately 40,000 dimers per cell in early exponential phase, and were undetectable after growth in stationary phase. fis autoregulation was less effective in S. typhimurium than that in E. coli, which can be correlated with the absence or reduced affinity of several Fis-binding sites in the S. typhimurium fis promoter region. Phenotypes of fis mutants include loss of Hin-mediated DNA inversion, cell filamentation, reduced growth rates in rich medium, and increased lag times when the mutants are subcultured after prolonged growth in stationary phase. On the other hand, cells constitutively expressing Fis exhibited normal logarithmic growth but showed a sharp reduction in survival during stationary phase. During the course of these studies, the sigma 28-dependent promoter within the hin-invertible segment that is responsible for fljB (H2) flagellin synthesis was precisely located. 相似文献

The development of a “palmelloid” phase was studied in an adventive growth of a species of the blue-green alga Anabaena sp. and in culture of the same strain. The primary change from its characteristic filamentous structure was the separation of the cells from one another. This was accompanied by the excessive production of capsular slime in which the separated cells were arranged at random. Associated with this were a gross change in cytology and a change in shape of cell from spheroidal to enlarged ellipsoidal. Fresh culturing of palmelloid cells resulted in the resumption of the typical filamentous growth, which in time reverted to the palmelloid phase. 相似文献

A series of bacterial species was examined for their sensitivity to ochratoxin A. Only grampositive bacteria could be inhibited, generally at a pH lower than 7.0. Bacillus subtilis did not show any reduction of growth rates in presence of ochratoxin A, but had a prolonged lag phase. With Staphylococcus pyogenes var. aureus and Streptococcus faecalis, a prolonged lag phase and a reduction of the growth rate was observed. Most sensitive was Streptococcus faecalis in the exponential-growth phase. The inhibition could be diminished by changing the pH to neutral, or by addition of yeast extract, tetrahydrofolate, or MgSO4. With MgSO4 a complete abolition of the inhibitory effect was achieved, but not with CaCl2. During growth inhibition, protein and RNA synthesis were reduced simultaneously, but not DNA synthesis. Even with the very high concentration of 1 mg/ml, no lethal effect was observed. 相似文献

ARhizobium species isolated from the root nodules of the sensitive plant,Mimosa pudica, produced 60 mg/L of 3-indoleacetic acid (IAA) froml-tryptophan in culture. The production of IAA started simultaneously with the growth and had no different growth or production
phase. The stationary phase of growth was reached after 55 h, but the production of IAA increased gradually up to 80 h, and
then remained constant. The IAA production could be promoted in the culture medium up to 365% by supplementing the medium
with maltose, CuSO4 and Triton X-100. 相似文献

Ion metabolism in a Halobacterium. I. Influence of age of culture on intracellular concentrations 总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9
Work is described on the changes in cell ions during growth of cultures of a species of Halobacterium isolated from the Dead Sea. Cell K concentration fell from 5.5 to 3.8 moles per kg cell water during the logarithmic phase of growth and maintained the latter value during the stationary phase (initial medium concentration, 7 mM). Cell Na and Cl followed a complex series of roughly parallel changes. The logarithmic phase ion concentrations were: Na, 1.0–2.3 moles/kg cell water; Cl, 2.3–3.7 moles/kg cell water. The final stationary phase values were: Na, 0.5 moles/kg cell water; Cl, 2.3–2.9 moles/kg cell water (medium NaCl concentration, 3.9 Molal). It is suggested that most of the K+ is bound within the cytoplasm. 相似文献

During the phase of exponential growth in chlorophyllous calluscultures derived from Haplopappus gracilis, Hypochaeris radicata,and Acer pseudoplatamus, cells double their number on the average,and also their volume, in about 4.3, 6.6, and 92 daysrespectively. The two rates decline subsequently but cell expansioncontinues for a short time after division has ceased. With culturesof Oxalis dispar, however, which have an average cell generationtime of about 10 days, there is first a short exponential phasedominated by division, and this is followed by a series of phasesdominated alternately by either division or expansion. Chlorophyll accumulation does not occur in Haplopappus duringthe exponential phase (chlorophyll a decreases) but there isa slow accumulation of caro-tenoids. The bulk of the pigmentsaccumulate during the declining phase of growth mainly afterdivision has ceased. With Hypochaeris and Acer, on the otherhand, accumulation is most intense during the exponential phase,and few pigments are added later. With Oxalis, most of the accumulationoccurs after the exponential phase; carotenoids accumulate untilthe cessation of growth whereas chlorophylls start to declinebefore this. With all species, pigments decline after the cessationof growth. The loss is small in Haplopappus and the tissuesare still bright green when the medium dries out: Hypochaerisand Oxalis, in contrast, eventually become colourless. The data are discussed in relation to the changes in pigmentcontent that accompany the growth and development of a singlecell in each species. 相似文献

A mathematical model is developed to elucidate the effects of biophysical transport processes (nutrient diffusion, cell motility, and chemotaxis) along with biochemical reaction processes (cell growth and death, nutrient uptake) upon steady-state bacterial population growth in a finite one-dimensional region. The particular situation considered is that of growth limitation by a nutrient diffusing from an adjacent phase not accessible to the bacteria. It is demonstrated that the cell motility and chemotaxis properties can have great influence on steady-state population size. In fact, motility effects can be as significant as growth kinetic effects, in a manner analogous to diffusion- and reaction-limited regimes in chemically reacting systems. In particular, the following conclusions can be drawn from our analysis for bacterial populations growing at steady-state in a confined, unmixed region: (a) Random motility may lead to decreased population density; (b) chemotaxis can allow increased population density if the chemotactic response is large enough; (c) a species with superior motility properties can outgrow a species with superior growth kinetic properties; (d) motility effects become greater as the size of the confined growth region increases; and (e) motility effects are diminished by significant mass-transfer limitation of the nutrient from the adjacent source phase. The relationships of these results for populations to previous conclusions for individual cells is discussed, and implications for microbial competition are suggested. 相似文献

The enzymes catalase and superoxide dismutase play major roles in protecting phytopathogenic bacteria from oxidative stress. In Xanthomonas species, these enzymes are regulated by both growth phase and oxygen tension. The highest enzyme levels were detected within 1 h of growth. Continued growth resulted in a decline of both enzyme activities. High oxygen tension was an inducing signal for both enzyme activities. An 80,000-Da monofunctional catalase and a manganese superoxide dismutase were the major forms of the enzymes detected at different stages of growth. The unusual regulatory patterns are common among several Xanthomonas strains tested and may be advantageous to Xanthomonas species during the initial stage of plant-microorganism interactions. 相似文献
