Methods were developed for the formation of protoplasts and spheroplasts of gastrointestinal strains of Lactobacillus reuteri, Lactobacillus gasseri, and Lactobacillus salivarius. Attempts to regenerate vegetative cells from protoplasts were not successful, but spheroplasts could be regenerated consistently for five of six strains. 相似文献

Efficient protoplast regeneration for some homofermentative lactobacilli and pediococci 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Conditions for protoplast regeneration were examined for several strains of homofermentative lactobacilli and pediococci isolated from silage. Attempts to regenerate protoplasts using previously published agar regeneration media for lactobacilli were unsuccessful for most of the strains. Replacing or increasing colloidal substances in a medium containing raffinose and MgCl(2) as osmotic stabilizers enabled efficient regeneration of the protoplasts at a frequency of 10-99%. A medium containing gelatin, polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) and no agar was effective for Lactobacillus plantarum, Lactobacillus pentosus and Lactobacillus rhamnosus protoplasts. An agar medium containing PVP (PVP medium) was effective for Pediococcus sp. protoplasts, and addition of agarose to the PVP medium enabled regeneration of Lactobacillus casei protoplasts. A medium containing calcium alginate gel and no agar was effective for Lactobacillus curvatus protoplasts. The type of colloidal substance required for protoplast regeneration varied from species to species. This result suggested that several kinds of media may be necessary to regenerate protoplasts for all the genera of lactobacilli and pediococci. 相似文献

Six strains of Nocardia asteroides, two strains of N. caviae, and two strains of N. braziliensis were grown in medium supplementted with glycine, lysozyme, D-cycloserine, glycine plus lysozyme, and glycine plus D-cycloserine. It was shown that three strains of N. asteroides, and two strains of N. caviae, readily formed spheroplasts and/or protoplasts when grown in the presence of glycine plus either lysozyme or D-cycloserine. This process was studied by both phase contrast microscopy and electron microscopy. The induced cultures were then plated on hypertonic medium for the isolation of L-forms. It was shown that the organisms differed greatly in their ability to produce spheroplasts and subsequently grew as L-forms or transitional-phase variants. 相似文献

Summary Saishin (Brassica chinensis L.) mesophyll protoplasts and E. coli spheroplasts harbouring hybrid plasmid with tandemly dimerized cauliflower mosaic virus DNA were mixed in ratios of 1:1,000 and incubated for 20 min at 30° C in the presence of 20% polyvinyl alcohol. Subsequently, protoplasts/spheroplasts mixture was washed with high pH-high Ca buffer. After 3 days of culture, 8% of Saishin protoplasts were transfected as monitored by immunofluorescence technique. When plant protoplasts and bacterial spheroplasts were mixed in ratios of 1:100 or 1:2,000, 1% or 5% of protoplasts were transfected, respectively. 相似文献

Abstract A method for protoplast formation and regeneration suitable for Lactobacillus reuteri strains was developed.
Lysozyme-treated cells formed protoplasts at a high percentage and regenerative ability varied according to the strains considered.
Moreover, production and regeneration of protoplasts promoted the loss of plasmids harboured by the strains. 相似文献

Summary
E. coli spheroplasts can be used to deliver DNA vectors into plant protoplasts. The use of fluorescent dyes showed that 25–100% of the protoplast population was associated with 1–9 spheroplasts following incubation with several fusogens. Electron microscopy demonstrated spheroplasts attached to protoplasts via a plasma membrane protrusion after high pH/Ca2+ treatment, but PEG-high pH/Ca2+ promoted endocytosis of spheroplasts into a plasma membrane bounded vesicle. Ultrastructural profiles showed that fusion between spheroplasts and protoplasts did not occur. Immunofluorescence studies detectedE. coli antigens associated with tobacco protoplasts, and after fusogen treatment the antigens were dispersed within the peripheral cytoplasm. The elimination of residual contaminatingE. coli cells from protoplasts was achieved by lysozyme and antibiotic treatment, thus allowing DNA vector assessment in axenic culture. 相似文献

An efficient method is described for preparing spheroplasts and protoplasts by treating bacillary cells of Mycobacterium smegmatis with precise concentrations of L-glycine (followed by lysozyme). This improved procedure was widely applicable to many rapidly growing mycobacteria by selecting the concentrations of glycine suitable for the individual strains used. The process of reversion of spheroplasts to original bacillary form on solid and in liquid media, as revealed by electron microscopy, appeared to involve the formation of an internal elementary or initial body with subsequent budding from the spheroplast. The internal membrane systems appeared to function in the induction of initial bodies and in the maturation of elementary bodies to become dividing forms. Possible mechanisms involved in the development of bacilli from spheroplasts are discussed. 相似文献

Action of streptolysin S, the group D hemolysin, and phospholipase C on whole cells and spheroplasts 总被引:3,自引:1,他引:2
Davie, Joseph M. (Indiana University, Bloomington), and Thomas D. Brock. Action of streptolysin S, the group D hemolysin, and phospholipase C on whole cells and spheroplasts. J. Bacteriol. 91:595-600. 1966.-The effect of streptolysin S, the group D hemolysin, and phospholipase C (the alpha toxin of Clostridium perfringens) on whole cells and spheroplasts or protoplasts of three strains of streptococci and Micrococcus lysodeikticus was tested. Viability, C(14)-glycine uptake, and lysis were measured. The group D hemolysin and phospholipase C were active against whole bacteria; streptolysin S was not. All three substances were active on spheroplasts. A partially resistant mutant derived from a strain sensitive to the group D hemolysin was also partially resistant to streptolysin S and phospholipase C. Antimycin A protected spheroplasts from streptolysin S but not from the group D hemolysin. 相似文献

Aims: To assess the ability of five probiotic bacteria to bind aflatoxin B1 and to determine the key role of teichoic acids in the binding mechanism.
Methods and Results: The strains were incubated in aqueous solutions containing aflatoxin B1 (AFB1 ). The amount of free toxin was quantified by HPLC. Stability of the bacteria–aflatoxin complex was evaluated by repeated washes with buffer. In order to understand the binding process, protoplasts, spheroplasts and cell wall components of two strains were analysed to assess their capacity to bind AFB1 . Additionally, the role of teichoic acids in the AFB1 binding process was assessed. Lactobacillus reuteri strain NRRL14171 and Lactobacillus casei strain Shirota were the most efficient strains for binding AFB1 . The stability of the AFB1 –bacteria complex appears to be related to the binding ability of a particular strain; AFB1 binding was also pH-dependent. Our results suggest that teichoic acids could be responsible for this ability.
Conclusions: Our results provide information concerning AFB1 binding by previously untested strains, leading to enhanced understanding of the mechanism by which probiotic bacteria bind AFB1 .
Significance and Impact of the Study: Our results support the suggestion that some probiotic bacteria could prevent absorption of aflatoxin from the gastrointestinal tract. 相似文献

A procedure for protoplasts formation from Escherichia coli and Serratia marcescens by treatment with fosfomycin alone is described. This method gives high and low yields of stable protoplasts from E. coli and S. marcescens respectively. In the last case numerous spheroplasts were obtained. Electron micrographs of intact cells, protoplasts and spheroplasts are shown. 相似文献

In the presence of 10% polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), Escherichia coli cells or spheroplasts can be easily introduced into Vinca protoplasts by endocytosis. Uptake proceeded quite rapidly; bacterial cells or spheroplasts were found within the cytoplasm of Vinca protoplasts after 10 min of incubation with PVA. 相似文献

Spheroplasts of Agrobacterium tumefaciens strains and E. coli were fused with protoplasts of Nicotiana tabacum. Fusion products were cultured in the presence of antibiotics to eliminate remaining bacterial spheroplasts. On hormone free medium, tobacco protoplasts treated with wild type Agrobacterium-strains formed colonies with an average frequency of 10–4. Opine synthesis was detected in the tissues. Some calli derived from protoplasts treated with A. tumefaciens C58C1pRi15834 formed typical hairy roots. Kanamycin resistant calli were obtained after fusion with A. tumefaciens containing pLGVTi23 neo (frequency=10–3). Fusion of E. coli spheroplasts containing a virulent pTiB6S3::RP4 co-integrate with tobacco protoplasts yielded two hormone independent growing calli producing octopine out of 105 microcalli.Abbreviations PEG

Summary The time rate of regeneration of the cell wall and reversion of protoplasts of the yeast Nadsonia elongata to cells of normal shape and size has been compared with the capability for regeneration of spheroplasts of this yeast. Nearly all protoplasts in a given culture were able to regenerate new walls and had usually reverted to cells of normal appearance by the 30th h of cultivation. Spheroplasts required only half this time to do this. These results can be interpreted as evidence that regeneration of a wall by protoplasts does not depend upon the presence of a cell wall primer, because the proportion of reverting protoplasts (which lack wall remnants) was the same as that of reverting spheroplasts (which possess them). The presence of wall remnants in spheroplasts appears to have merely an accelerating effect on the formation of a new wall and on subsequent reversion of the spheroplasts to complete cells of normal shape and size. 相似文献

Summary Interaction of Escherichia
coli spheroplasts with Neurospora
crassa slime cells was examined by transmission electron microscopy after treatment with polyvinyl alcohol followed by dilution with the high pH-high Ca buffer. Bacterial spheroplasts were found either adhering to the flat surface, associating with the invaginating surface, or residing within the intracellular vesicle of fungal protoplasts. In addition, bacterial spheroplasts free of the surrounding vesicles and those in the course of breakdown were observed in the fungal cytoplasm. It was concluded that Escherichia
coli spheroplasts are taken up by Neurospora
crassa protoplasts almost exclusively via endocytosis. This is the first cytological evidence for the endocytic activity of fungal cells. 相似文献

The action of the lysoamidase bacteriolytic complex on Staphylococcus aureus VKM B-209P cells has been studied to obtain protoplasts. The cells in the midlogarithmic phase were the most sensitive to lysoamidase action. It led to local destruction of cell wall due to hydrolysis of the peptidoglycan. Protoplast formation occurred in two steps in the presence of 1 M sucrose. First, osmotically fragile spheroplasts were formed. Then, the protoplasts were released from the destructed cell wall. The protoplast yield was about 80%. The protoplasts preserved the intact ultrastructure and were able to synthesize peptidoglycan fibrillae. Mainly the spheroplasts that maintained the cell-wall residues reversed into bacterial forms. The protoplasts had respiratory activity similar to cells. Respiration of cells and protoplasts was stimulated by various substrates. High rates of oxygen consumption were observed with -glycerophosphate and ethanol as substrates. 相似文献

Summary
Vinca rosea protoplasts and Agrobacterium tumefaciens spheroplasts harboring octopine-type Ti plasmid were mixed and treated with polyethylene glycol or polyvinyl alcohol, which facilitated the introduction of spheroplasts into plant protoplasts. After the protoplasts had been kept at 40° C for 4 days, bacteria were found to be completely eliminated from the medium. Among treated protoplasts 1–2 per 1,000 formed colonies on the Murashige and Skoog medium (1962) lacking hormones. When the colonies were isolated and subcultured, they could be maintained as clones. Octopine, an amino acid specific to crown gall, was detected in half of these clones. The phenotypic features of these putative transformants were compared but did not show any coincidental tendencies in relation to color, hardness, form, growth rate, or octopine production. The significance of this system in transformation of higher plant cells is discussed. 相似文献

Several preparations of staphylococcal alpha-toxin and delta-lysin were studied in order to compare hemolytic activity with capacity to lyse bacterial protoplasts. delta-Lysin in relatively low concentration lysed protoplasts of Sarcina lutea, protoplasts of Streptococcus faecalis, and spheroplasts of Escherichia coli. Lysis of bacterial protoplasts by preparations of alpha-toxin appeared to be due to contamination of the preparations with delta-lysin. Data comparing the protoplast-lysing activity of various lytic agents are presented. 相似文献

Gamma-ray-irradiated Escherichia coli CR thy(-) cells and spheroplasts, prelabeled with (14)C-thymine, were assayed for acid-insoluble activity as a function of incubation time after irradiation. Under similar irradiation and incubation conditions, degradation profiles of cells and spheroplasts were virtually identical. Similar results were found for cells and protoplasts irradiated in the presence of rifampin (20 mug/ml). These results suggest that postirradiation deoxyribonucleic acid degradation enzymes are probably not loosely localized in the periplasm, unlike endonuclease I. 相似文献

The interaction of Staphylococcus aureus, Yersinia enterocolitica, Y. pseudotuberculosis, Y. intermedia, Y. frederikseni, Y. kristenseni and erythrocytes was studied with the use scanning electron microscopy. Highly adhesive and moderately adhesive Staphylococcus and Yersinia strains displayed both individual coated bacterial cells and groups of cells interconnected by common intercellular matrix on the surface of erythrocytes. In nonadhesive Staphylococcus and Yersinia strains no coating was detected on the surface of bacterial cells. Some of Staphylococcus and Yersinia cells interacting with erythrocytes were at the stage of heteromorphism with different manifestations of L-transformation (cells with cell wall defects, spheroplasts and protoplasts). Heteromorphic cells did not adhere to the surface of erythrocytes. 相似文献

Summary Membrane units from lysed spheroplasts induced by lysozyme or glycine from Mycobacterium spec. smegmatis were isolated in a biological active state by differential centrifugation and by density gradient technique. They were compared morphologically with membraneous fractions obtained from mycobacterial cells disintegrated under a high hydrostatic pressure.Higher homogeneity of membraneous structures isolated from spheroplasts was confirmed. Three types of membraneous structures could be distinguished. They include empty ghosts of spheroplasts, tubular structures containing cytoplasmic material and fragments of typical membraneous structures relatively free of contaminants. By studying protoplasts in the process of lysis it was determined that these structures correspond with cytoplasmic membranes and mesosomes.Differences between lysozome and glycine induced spheroplasts as a starting material for isolation of membraneous structures include the proportion of contamination by other cellular components, reasons of which are discussed. 相似文献
