A physical and genetic map of the chromosome of the Lactococcus lactis subsp. cremoris reference strain MG1363 was established. The physical map was constructed for NotI, ApaI, and SmaI enzymes by using a strategy that combines creation of new rare restriction sites by the random-integration vector pRL1 and ordering of restriction fragments by indirect end-labeling experiments. The MG1363 chromosome appeared to be circular and 2,560 kb long. Seventy-seven chromosomal markers were located on the physical map by hybridization experiments. Integration via homologous recombination of pRC1-derived plasmids allowed a more precise location of some lactococcal genes and determination of their orientation on the chromosome. The MG1363 chromosome contains six rRNA operons; five are clustered within 15% of the chromosome and transcribed in the same direction. Comparison of the L. lactis subsp. cremoris MG1363 physical map with those of the two L. lactis subsp. lactis strains IL1403 and DL11 revealed a high degree of restriction polymorphism. At the genetic organization level, despite an overall conservation of gene organization, strain MG1363 presents a large inversion of half of the genome in the region containing the rRNA operons. 相似文献

A Kluyveromyces lactis mutant, hypersensitive to the DNA-targeting drugs ethidium bromide (EtBr), berenil, and HOE15030, can be complemented by a wild-type gene with homology to SIR2 of Saccharomyces cerevisiae (ScSIR2). The deduced amino acid sequence of the K. lactis Sir2 protein has 53% identity with ScSir2 protein but is 108 residues longer. K. lactis sir2 mutants show decreased mating efficiency, deficiency in sporulation, an increase in recombination at the ribosomal DNA locus, and EtBr-induced death. Some functional equivalence between the Sir2 proteins of K. lactis and S. cerevisiae has been demonstrated by introduction of ScSIR2 into a sir2 mutant of K. lactis. Expression of ScSIR2 on a multicopy plasmid restores resistance to EtBr and complements sporulation deficiency. Similarly, mating efficiency of a sir2 mutant of S. cerevisiae is partially restored by K. lactis SIR2 on a multicopy plasmid. Although these observations suggest that there has been some conservation of Sir2 protein function, a striking difference is that sir2 mutants of S. cerevisiae, unlike their K. lactis counterparts, are not hypersensitive to DNA-targeting drugs. 相似文献

Summary Specitinomycin-resistant mutants of Bacillus subtilis show three different types of alterations in sporulation ability. Class 1 mutants can both grow and sporulate in the presence of spectinomycin. Class 2 mutants can grow in the presence of spectinomycin, but are unable to sporulate in either the presence or absence of spectinomycin. Class 3 mutants have a conditional phenotype, and are able to sporulate in the absence of spectinomycin, but not in its presence. The ability of these strains to produce alkaline phosphatase, a biochemical marker for early sporulation events, is correlated with the ability to sporulate in the presence or absence of antibiotic. All of the spectinomycin-resistance mutations could be genetically linked to the cysA marker, and a mutational alteration of a protein of the 30S ribosomal subunit has been identified in one of the Class 3 strains (Spc1–11). Fine-structure mapping of the spectinomycin resistance mutation of strain Spc 1–11 confirmed its location in the cluster of genes for ribosomal components on the B. subtilis genetic map. Genetic analysis indicated that the properties of the Class 1 and Class 2 mutants result from more than one mutation. The spectinomycin-resistance and altered sporulation properties of the two Class 3 mutants probably result from a single genetic lesion. 相似文献

Among spontaneously occurring antibiotic-resistant mutants of Bacillus subtilis 168 we have identified a sub-class that is conditionally sporulative. Mutants in this sub-class are resistant to antibiotic during vegetative growth but are sensitive during sporulation. Mutants conditionally-resistant to erythromycin, kanamycin, spectinomycin, and streptomycin have been isolated and characterized by phase contrast microscopy and with respect to their ability to synthesize heat-resistant endospores or the sporulation-associated enzyme alkaline phosphatase. The results suggest that several entirely different genetic lesions may result in this single phenotype. This group includes mutants whose properties suggest that both th 30S and 50S ribosomal subunits may be altered concomitant with early spore specific metabolism. The blockage imposed by antibiotic may be at or near Stage 2 of sporulation. 相似文献

A combined physical and genetic map of the chromosome of Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis IL1403 was determined. We constructed a restriction map for the NotI, ApaI, and SmaI enzymes. The order of the restriction fragments was determined by using the randomly integrative plasmid pRL1 and by performing indirect end-labeling experiments. The strain IL1403 chromosome was found to be circular and 2,420 kb in size. A total of 24 chromosomal markers were mapped on the chromosome by performing hybridization experiments with gene probes for L. lactis and various other bacteria. Integration of pRC1-derived plasmids via homologous recombination allowed more precise location of some lactococcal genes and allowed us to determine the orientation of these genes on the chromosome. Recurrent sequences, such as insertion elements and rRNA gene (rrn) clusters, were also mapped. At least seven copies of IS1076 were present and were located on 50% of the chromosome. In contrast, no copy of ISS1RS was detected. Six ribosomal operons were found on the strain IL1403 chromosome; five were located on 16% of the chromosome and were transcribed in the same direction. A comparison of the physical maps of L. lactis subsp. lactis IL1403 and DL11 showed that these two strains are closely related and that the variable regions are located mainly near the rrn gene clusters. In contrast, despite major restriction pattern dissimilarities between L. lactis IL1403 and MG1363, the overall genetic organization of the genome seems to be conserved between these two strains. 相似文献

A beta-galactosidase gene from Clostridium acetobutylicum NCIB 2951 was expressed after cloning into pSA3 and electroporation into derivatives of Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis strains H1 and 7962. When the clostridial gene was introduced into a plasmid-free derivative of the starter-type Lact. lactis subsp. lactis strain H1, the resulting construct had high beta-galactosidase activity but utilized lactose only slightly faster than the recipient. beta-galactosidase activity in the construct decreased by over 50% if the 63 kb Lac plasmid pDI21 was also present with the beta-galactosidase gene. Growth rates of Lac+ H1 and 7962 derivatives were not affected after introduction of the clostridial beta-galactosidase, even though beta-galactosidase activity in a 7962 construct was more than double that of the wild-type strain. When pDI21 was electroporated into a plasmid-free variant of strain 7962, the recombinant had high phospho-beta-galactosidase activity and a growth rate equal to that of the H1 wild-type strain. The H1 plasmid-free strain grew slowly in T5 complex medium, utilized lactose and contained low phospho-beta-galactosidase activity. We suggest that beta-galactosidase expression can be regulated by the lactose phosphotransferase system-tagatose pathway and that Lact. lactis subsp. lactis strain H1 has an inefficient permease for lactose and contains chromosomally-encoded phospho-beta-galactosidase genes. 相似文献

Alterations in the ribosomes of sucrose-dependent spectinomycin-resistant (Sucd-Spcr) mutants of Escherichia coli were studied. Subunit exchange experiments showed that 30S subunits were responsible for the resistance of ribosomes to spectinomycin in all Sucd-Spcr mutants tested. Proteins of 30S ribosomes were analyzed by carboxymethyl cellulose column chromatography based on their elution positions. Mutants YM22 and YM93 had an altered 30S ribosomal protein component, S5, and mutant YM50 had an altered protein, S4. Although a shift of elution position was not detected for all the 30S ribosomal proteins from mutant YM101, the amount of protein S3 was appreciably lowered in the isolated 30S subunits. A partial reconstitution experiment with protein S3 prepared from both the wild-type strain and YM101 revealed that the mutant had altered protein S3 which is responsible for the spectinomycin resistance. These alterations in 30S subunits are discussed in relation to the interaction between ribosomes and the cytoplasmic membrane. 相似文献

Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis bv. diacetylactis S50 produces a lactococcin A-like bacteriocin named bacteriocin S50, and cell envelope-associated PI-type proteinase activity. This strain harbours 3 small size plasmids: pS6 (6.3 kb), pS7a (7.31 kb), and pS7b (7.27 kb). Plasmid curing using a combination of novobiocin treatment (10 microg.mL-1) and sublethal temperature (40 degrees C) resulted in a very low yield (0.17%) of Prt-, Bac-, Bacs derivatives, which retained all 3 small size resident plasmids. Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis of DNA isolated from the strain S50 and cured derivatives in combination with restriction enzyme analysis and DNA-DNA hybridization revealed that S50 contains 2 additional large plasmids: pS140 (140 kb) and pS80 (80 kb). Conjugation experiments using strain S50 as a donor and various lactococcal recipients resulted in Prt+, Bac+, Bacr transconjugants. Analysis of these transconjugants strongly indicated that plasmid pS140 harbours the prt and bac genes encoding proteinase and bacteriocin production, and immunity to bacteriocin, since each Prt+, Bac+, Bacr tranconjugant contained pS140. Accordingly, none of the Prt-,Bac-, Bacs transconjugants contained this plasmid. pS140 was a self-transmissible conjugative plasmid regardless of the host lactococcal recipient used in the test. Frequency of conjugation of plasmid pS140 did not depend on either the donor or recipient strain. 相似文献

Bacteriocin-producing strain Lactococcus lactis K-205 with antibacterial activity up to 2,700 IU/ml (calculated on nisine-producing activity) was isolated from Buryat beverage kurunga. Using genotypic analysis of oligonucleotide sequence of 16S rRNA gene, the strain was identified as L. lactis subsp. lactis. 16S rRNA gene nucleotide sequence of K-205 strain was deposed in GenBankdatabase under the number EF 114305. New K-205 strain as compared with museum nisine-producing strain L. lactis subsp. lactis had wider spectrum of bactericidal as well as fungicidal activity which is a rare characteristic for the natural isolates of this microorganism. 相似文献

Bacteriocins formed by four strains of Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis have been studied and compared: 729 (a natural strain isolated from milk), 1605 (a mutant of strain 729), F-116 (a recombinant obtained by fusing of protoplasts of the two related strain 729 and 1605), and a nisin-forming strain obtained by adaptive selection at Moscow State University. Antimicrobial activity studies revealed differences between the strains in the effects on individual groups of microorganisms; the activities of the strains were also distinct from that of Nisaplin (a commercial preparation of the bacteriocin nisin). Methods for isolation and purification of bacteriocins have been developed, making it possible to obtain individual components of antibiotic complexes as chromatographically pure preparations. Bacteriocins formed by the strains of Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis have been identified and differences in their biological and physicochemical properties, established. A novel potent broad-spectrum antibiotic substance distinct from nisin has been isolated from the recombinant strain F-116. 相似文献

Following treatment with the mutagen N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine, three mutants of Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis biovar diacetylactis CNRZ 483 that produced diacetyl and acetoin from glucose were isolated. The lactate dehydrogenase activity of these mutants was strongly attenuated, and the mutants produced less lactate than the parental strain. The kinetic properties of lactate dehydrogenase of strain CNRZ 483 and the mutants revealed differences in the affinity of the enzyme for pyruvate, NADH, and fructose-1,6-diphosphate. When cultured aerobically, strain CNRZ 483 transformed 2.3% of glucose to acetoin and produced no diacetyl or 2,3-butanediol. Under the same conditions, mutants 483L1, 483L2, and 483L3 transformed 42.0, 78.9, and 75.8%, respectively, of glucose to C4 compounds (diacetyl, acetoin, and 2,3-butanediol). Anaerobically, strain CNRZ 483 produced no C4 compounds, while mutants 483L1, 483L2, and 483L3 transformed 2.0, 37.0, and 25.8% of glucose to acetoin and 2,3-butanediol. In contrast to the parental strain, the NADH balance showed that the mutants regenerated most of the NAD via NADH oxidase under aerobic conditions and by ethanol production under anaerobic conditions. 相似文献

Lactose-negative (Lac-) mutants were isolated from a variant of Streptococcus lactis C2 in which the lactose plasmid had become integrated into the chromosome. These mutants retained their parental growth characteristics on galactose (Lac- Gal+). This is in contrast to the Lac- variants obtained when the lactose plasmid is lost from S. lactis, which results in a slower growth rate on galactose (Lac- Gal+). The Lac- Gal+ mutants were defective in [14C]thiomethyl-beta-D-galactopyranoside accumulation, suggesting a defect in the lactose phosphoenolpyruvate-dependent phosphotransferase system, but still possessed the ability to form galactose-1-phosphate and galactose-6-phosphate from galactose in a ratio similar to that observed from the parental strain. The Lac- Gald variant formed only galactose-1-phosphate. The results imply that galactose is not translocated via the lactose phosphoenolpyruvate-dependent phosphotransferase system, but rather by a specific galactose phosphoenolpyruvate-dependent phosphotransferase system for which the genetic locus is also found on the lactose plasmid in S. lactis. 相似文献

The potential of the thymidylate synthase thyA gene cloned from Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis as a possible alternative selectable marker gene to antibiotic resistance markers has been examined. The thyA mutation is a recessive lethal one; thyA mutants cannot survive in environments containing low amounts of thymidine or thymine (such as Luria-Bertani medium) unless complemented by the thyA gene. The cloned thyA gene was strongly expressed in L. lactis subsp. lactis, Escherichia coli, Rhizobium meliloti, and a fluorescent Pseudomonas strain. In addition, when fused to a promoterless enteric lac operon, the thyA gene drove expression of the lac genes in a number of gram-negative bacteria. In transformation experiments with thyA mutants of E. coli and conjugation experiments with thyA mutants of R. meliloti, the lactococcal thyA gene permitted selection of transformants and transconjugants with the same efficiency as did genes for resistance to ampicillin, chloramphenicol, or tetracycline. Starting from the broad-host-range plasmid pGD500, a plasmid, designated pPR602, was constructed which is completely free of antibiotic resistance genes and has the lactococcal thyA gene fused to a promoterless lac operon. This plasmid will permit growth of thyA mutant strains in the absence of thymidine or thymine and has a number of unique restriction sites which can be used for cloning. 相似文献

Two Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis strains, NCK400 and LJH80, isolated from a commercial sauerkraut fermentation were shown to produce nisin. LJH80 was morphologically unstable and gave rise to two stable, nisin-producing (Nip+) derivatives, NCK318-2 and NCK318-3. NCK400 and derivatives of LJH80 exhibited identical morphological and metabolic characteristics, but could be distinguished on the basis of plasmid profiles and genomic hybridization patterns to a DNA probe specific for the iso-ISS1 element, IS946. NCK318-2 and NCK318-3 harbored two and three plasmids, respectively, which hybridized with IS946. Plasmid DNA was not detected in NCK400, and DNA from this strain failed to hybridize with IS946. Despite the absence of detectable plasmid DNA in NCK400, nisin-negative derivatives (NCK402 and NCK403) were isolated after repeated transfer in broth at 37 degrees C. Nisin-negative derivatives concurrently lost the ability to ferment sucrose and became sensitive to nisin. A 4-kbp HindIII fragment containing the structural gene for nisin (spaN), cloned from L. lactis subsp. lactis ATCC 11454, was used to probe genomic DNA of NCK318-2, NCK318-3, NCK400, and NCK402 digested with EcoRI or HindIII. The spaN probe hybridized to an 8.8-kbp EcoRI fragment and a 10-kbp HindIII fragment in the Nip+ sauerkraut isolates, but did not hybridize to the Nip- derivative, NCK402. A different hybridization pattern was observed when the same probe was used against Nip+ L. lactis subsp. lactis ATCC 11454 and ATCC 7962. These phenotypic and genetic data confirmed that unique Nip+ L. lactis subsp. lactis strains were isolated from fermenting sauerkraut. 相似文献

The genes responsible for conjugative transfer of the 48.4-kb Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis ML3 plasmid pRS01 were localized by insertional mutagenesis. Integration of the IS946-containing plasmid pTRK28 into pRS01 generated a pool of stable cointegrates, including a number of plasmids altered in conjugative proficiency. Mapping of pTRK28 insertions and phenotypic analysis of cointegrate plasmids identified four distinct regions (Tra1, Tra2, Tra3, and Tra4) involved in pRS01 conjugative transfer. Tra3 corresponds closely to a region previously identified (D. G. Anderson and L. L. McKay, J. Bacteriol. 158:954-962, 1984). Another region (Tra4) was localized within an inversion sequence shown to correlate with a cell aggregation phenotype. Tra1 and Tra2, two previously unidentified regions, were located at a distance of 9 kb from Tra3. When provided in trans, a cloned portion of the Tra3 region complemented Tra3 mutants. 相似文献
