R' plasmids carrying argF genes from Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains PAO and PAC were transferred to Pseudomonas putida argF and Escherichia coli argF strains. Expression in P. putida was similar to that in P. aeruginosa and was repressed by exogenous arginine. Expression in E. coli was 2 to 4% of that in P. aeruginosa. Exogenous arginine had no effect, and there were no significant differences between argR' and argR strains of E. coli in this respect. 相似文献

Phage therapy is being reexamined as a strategy for bacterial control in medical and other environments. As microorganisms often live in mixed populations, we examined the effect of Escherichia coli bacteriophage λW60 and Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteriophage PB-1 infection on the viability of monoculture and mixed-species biofilm and planktonic cultures. In mixed-species biofilm communities, E. coli and P. aeruginosa maintained stable cell populations in the presence of one or both phages. In contrast, E. coli planktonic populations were severely depleted in coculture in the presence of λW60. Both E. coli and P. aeruginosa developed phage resistance in planktonic culture; however, reduced resistance was observed in biofilm communities. Increased phage titers and reduced resistance in biofilms suggest that phage can replicate on susceptible cells in biofilms. Infectious phage could be released from mixed-culture biofilms upon treatment with Tween 20 but not upon treatment with chloroform. Tween 20 and chloroform treatments had no effect on phage associated with planktonic cells, suggesting that planktonic phage were not cell or matrix associated. Transmission electron microscopy showed bacteriophage particles to be enmeshed in the extracellular polymeric substance component of biofilms and that this substance could be removed by Tween 20 treatment. Overall, this study demonstrates how mixed-culture biofilms can maintain a reservoir of viable phage and bacterial populations in the environment. 相似文献

The effect of cultivation parameters such as temperature incubation, IPTG induction and ethanol shock on the production of Pseudomonas aeruginosa amidase (E.C.3.5.1.4) in a recombinant Escherichia coli strain in LB ampicillin culture medium was investigated. The highest yield of soluble amidase, relatively to other proteins, was obtained in the condition at 37°C using 0.40 mM IPTG to induce growth, with ethanol. Our results demonstrate the formation of insoluble aggregates containing amidase, which was biologically active, in all the tested growth conditions. Addition of ethanol at 25°C in the culture medium improved amidase yield, which quantitatively aggregated in a biological active form and exhibited in all conditions an increased specific activity relatively to the soluble form of the enzyme. Non-denaturing solubilization of the aggregated amidase was successfully achieved using L-arginine. The aggregates obtained from conditions at 37°C by FTIR analysis demonstrated a lower content of intermolecular interactions which facilitated the solubilization step applying non-denaturing conditions. The higher interactions exhibited in aggregates obtained at suboptimal conditions compromised the solubilization yield. This work provides an approach for the characterization and solubilization of novel reported biologically active aggregates of this amidase. 相似文献

The replacement of Escherichia coli recA gene (recAEc) with the Pseudomonas aeruginosa recAPa gene in Escherichia coli cells results in constitutive hyper-recombination (high frequency of recombination exchanges per unit length of DNA) in the absence of constitutive SOS response. To understand the biochemical basis of this unusual in vivo phenotype, we compared in vitro the recombination properties of RecAPa protein with those of RecAEc protein. Consistent with hyper-recombination activity, RecAPa protein appeared to be more proficient both in joint molecule formation, producing extensive DNA networks in strand exchange reaction, and in competition with single-stranded DNA binding (SSB) protein for single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) binding sites. The RecAPa protein showed in vitro a normal ability for cleavage of the E. coli LexA repressor (a basic step in SOS regulon derepression) both in the absence and in the presence (i.e. even under suboptimal conditions for RecAEc protein) of SSB protein. However, unlike other hyper-recombinogenic proteins, such as RecA441 and RecA730, RecAPa protein displaced insufficient SSB protein from ssDNA at low magnesium concentration to induce the SOS response constitutively. In searching for particular characteristics of RecAPa in comparison with RecAEc, RecA441 and RecA803 proteins, RecAPa showed unusually high abilities: to be resistant to the displacement by SSB protein from poly(dT); to stabilize a ternary complex RecA::ATP::ssDNA to high salt concentrations; and to be much more rapid in both the nucleation of double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) and the steady-state rate of dsDNA-dependent ATP hydrolysis at pH 7.5. We hypothesized that the high affinity of RecAPa protein for ssDNA, and especially dsDNA, is the factor that directs the ternary complex to bind secondary DNA to initiate additional acts of recombination instead of to bind LexA repressor to induce constitutive SOS response. 相似文献

Abstract Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Escherichia coli were exposed to nocardicin A, and were subsequently observed with transmission and scanning electron microscopes. Although the nocardicin A-induced morphological alterations such as bulges and spheroplast formations were observed both in P. aeruginosa and E. coli , their positions on the cell surface were different in the two species. 相似文献

The plc gene for phospholipase of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, able to be transcribed only from its own promoter, has been introduced into Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Pseudomonas putida cells in the recombinant plasmid pPMS21 of a wide host range. The expression of plc gene in all recipient cells has been shown to be phosphate regulated. The fact emphasizes the identity of pho-regulation systems in Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas cells. The level of phospholipase activity is similar in Pseudomonas putida and Pseudomonas aeruginosa under the conditions of the gene derepression, while in Escherichia coli cells the level does not exceed 10% of activity registered in Pseudomonas cells. 相似文献

The flagellin gene was isolated from a Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 genomic bank by conjugation into a PA103 Fla- strain. Flagellin DNA was transferred from motile recipient PA103 Fla+ cells by transformation into Escherichia coli. We show that transformed E. coli expresses flagellin protein. Export of flagellin to the E. coli cell surface was suggested by positive colony blots of unlysed cells and by isolation of flagellin protein from E. coli supernatants. 相似文献

3-Hydroxypropionic acid (3-HP) is a commercially important platform chemical from which a panel of chemicals can be generated. Klebsiella pneumoniae has been regarded as a promising host strain in glycerol-based 3-HP production for its exceptional ability to metabolize glycerol. Since the glycerol dissimilation mechanism governs the carbon flux distribution from glycerol, inducible strong promoters were usually employed to enhance the glycerol consumption and 3-HP production. Here, we report an alternative strategy that the native promoter of dhaB gene was applied to enhance 3-HP production in K. pneumoniae. The key enzyme genes (ald4 and dhaB) for 3-HP biosynthesis were co-expressed under this promoter. Metabolic analysis revealed that the 3-HP formation was partially coupled with cell metabolism. To optimize the production of 3-HP, the effects of glucose as energy source assistant were investigated based on the analysis of fermentation process kinetics. The highest 3-HP yield (3.77 g/L in flask) was observed upon optimized conditions. Since there were no additional inducers needed, the strategy of employing native promoter seems more feasible to industrial application. More importantly, the employment of constitutive promoter demonstrated an effective approach for decoupling the natural correlation between respiratory metabolism and glycerol dissimilation in K. pneumoniae. 相似文献

The behavior of Escherichia coli cells carrying RP4 plasmid which contains the genome of a Mu-like D3112 phage specific for Pseudomonas aeruginosa was studied. Two different types of D3112 genome expression were revealed in E. coli. The first is BP4-dependent expression. In this case, expression of certain D3112 genes designated as "kil" only takes place when RP4 is present. As a result, cell division stops at 30 degrees C and cells form filaments. Cell division is not blocked at 42 degrees C. The second type of D3112 genome expression is RP4-independent. A small number of phage is produced independently of RP4 plasmid but this does not take place at 42 degrees C. No detectable quantity of the functionally active repressor of the phage was determined in E. coli (D3112). It is possible that the only cause for cell stability of E. coli (D3112) or E. coli (RP4::D3112) at 42 degrees C in the absence of the repressor is the fact of an extremely poor expression of D3112. In another heterologous system, P. putida both ways of phage development (lytic and lysogenic) are observed. This special state of D3112 genome in E. coli cells is proposed to be named "conditionally expressible prophage" or, in short, "conex-phage", to distinguish it from a classical lysogenic state when stability is determined by repressor activity. Specific blockade of cell division, due to D3112 expression, was also found in P. putida cells. It is evident that the kil function of D3112 is not specific to recognize the difference between division machinery of bacteria belonging to distinct species or genera. Protein synthesis is needed to stop cell division and during a short time period this process could be reversible. Isolation of E. coli (D3112) which lost RP4 plasmid may be regarded as an evidence for D3112 transposition in E. coli. Some possibilities for using the system to look for E. coli mutants with modified expression of foreign genes are considered. 相似文献

High-pressure freezing of Escherichia coli K-12 and Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 in the presence of cryoprotectants provided consistent vitrification of cells so that frozen-hydrated sections could be cut, providing approximately 2-nm resolution of structure. The size and shape of the bacteria, as well as their surface and cytoplasmic constituents, were nicely preserved and compared well with other published high-resolution techniques. Cells possessed a rich cytoplasm containing a diffuse dispersion of ribosomes and genetic material. Close examination of cells revealed that the periplasmic space was compressed during cryosectioning, a finding which provided supporting evidence that this space is filled by a compressible gel. Since the outer membrane and peptidoglycan layer are bonded together via lipoproteins, the space between them (although still part of the periplasmic space) was not as compacted. Even when this cryosectioning compression was taken into account, there was still substantial variability in the width of the periplasmic space. It is possible that the protoplast has some capacity to float freely within the periplasm. 相似文献

The phosphomannose isomerase (pmi) gene of Escherichia coli was cloned on a broad-host-range cosmid vector and expressed in Pseudomonas aeruginosa at a low level. Plasmid pAD3, which harbors the E. coli pmi gene, contains a 6.2-kilobase-pair HindIII fragment derived from the chromosome of E. coli. Subcloning produced plasmids carrying the 1.5-kilobase-pair HindIII-HpaI subfragment of pAD3 that restored alginic acid production in a nonmucoid, alginate-negative mutant of P. aeruginosa. This fragment also complemented mannose-negative, phosphomannose isomerase-negative mutants of E. coli and showed no homology by DNA-DNA hybridization to P. aeruginosa chromosomal DNA. By using a BamHI constructed cosmid clone bank of the stable alginate producing strain 8830, we have been able to isolate a recombinant plasmid of P. aeruginosa origin that also restores alginate production in the alginate-negative mutant. This new recombinant plasmid, designated pAD4, contained a 9.9-kilobase-pair EcoRI-BamHI fragment with the ability to restore alginate synthesis in the alginate-negative P. aeruginosa. This fragment showed no homology to E. coli chromosomal DNA or to plasmid pAD3. Both mucoid and nonmucoid strains of P. aeruginosa had no detectable levels of phosphomannose isomerase activity as measured by mannose 6-phosphate-to-fructose 6-phosphate conversion. However, P. aeruginosa strains harboring the cloned pmi gene of E. coli contained measurable levels of phosphomannose isomerase activity as evidenced by examining the conversion of mannose 6-phosphate to fructose 6-phosphate. 相似文献

Comparative studies of penicillin-binding proteins in Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Escherichia coli. 总被引:12,自引:0,他引:12
Penicillin-binding proteins in Pseudomonas aeruginosa were compared with those of Escherichia coli. These in P. aeruginosa were found exclusively in the cytoplasmic membrane fraction (fraction soluble in sodium N-lauroyl sarcosinate). Sodium dodecyl sulfate/acrylamide gel electrophoresis of the proteins bound to [14C]penicillin G resulted in the separation of six major bands and several minor bands. The proteins in these bands are referred to as proteins 1A, 1B, 2, 3, 4 and 5 in order of increasing electrophoretical mobility. The electrophoretic mobilities and other properties of penicillin-binding proteins in P. aeruginosa and E. coli were compared and correlated. Fundamentally they seem to be very similar in the two bacteria, but proteins 1A and 1B in P. aeruginosa seem to correspond respectively to proteins 1B and 1A in E. coli, and protein 6 seems to be missing or present in only small amount in P. aeruginosa. In addition, the affinities of currently developed beta-lactam antibiotics to each protein of P. aeruginosa and E. coli were examined in relation to the morphological changes of the cells induced by these antibiotics and their antibacterial potencies. Mecillinam showed high affinity to only protein 2 in both P. aeruginosa and E. coli. At a minimal inhibitory concentration, it converted cells of both P. aeruginosa and E. coli from rods to spherical cells, although its minimal inhibitory concentration was much higher for P. aeruginosa than for E. coli. 相似文献

L-forms of Pseudomonas aeruginosa were induced and cultured on a medium supplemented with carbenicillin. Morphological studies of the passaged variant revealed the presence of a triple-layered cell wall similar to that found in the parent species. Furthermore, the L-form was found to be more susceptible to gentamicin, kanamycin, tetracycline and colistin sulphate. Chemical analysis of the lipopolysaccharide fraction showed a difference in phosphorus content, and changes in cell wall envelope fatty acid content were also exhibited. It is suggested that these differences may influence the transport of certain antibiotics through the cell wall. 相似文献
