Pro-inflammatory cytokines secreted by tissue macrophages recruit polymorphonuclear leukocytes and evoke fever, cachexia and production of acute phase proteins. This study investigates whether Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria equally and efficiently trigger production of the pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-1 beta, IL-6, IL-8 and TNF-alpha in human monocytes. A range of aerobic and anaerobic Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria were killed by UV-light and added in different concentrations to human monocytes. Cytokines were measured in 24 h supernatants by ELISA. Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria were equally efficient inducers of IL-1 beta, but Gram-positive bacteria generated twice as much TNF-alpha as did Gram-negative bacteria (p<0.001 for 25 and 250 bacteria/cell). In contrast, Gram-negative bacteria induced at least twice as much IL-6 and IL-8 as did Gram-positive bacteria (p<0.001 for 2.5, 25 and 250 bacteria/cell). While the cytokine responses to LPS were similar to those induced by the corresponding amount of Gram-negative bacteria, the strong IL-1 beta and TNF-alpha responses to Gram-positive bacteria could not be induced by soluble peptidoglycan or lipotheicoic acid. The particular nature of the bacteria, thus seem to modify the response to Gram-positive bacterial components. The different cytokine profiles evoked by Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria might optimize clearance of bacteria that differ in cell wall structure. 相似文献

Many different bacteria secrete proteases into the culture medium. Extracellular proteases produced by Gram-positive bacteria are secreted by a signal-peptide-dependent pathway and have a propeptide located between the signal peptide and the mature protein. Many extracellular proteases synthesized by Gram-negative bacteria are also produced as precursors with a signal peptide. However, at least two species of Gram-negative bacteria secrete one or more proteases via a novel signal-peptide-independent route. Most proteases secreted by Gram-negative bacteria also have a propeptide whose length and location vary according to the protease. Specific features of protease secretion pathways and the mechanisms of protease activation are discussed with particular reference to some of the best-characterized extracellular proteases produced by Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. 相似文献

Summary The bacteria and infection threads of the pea root nodule were examined by light and electron microscopy. The bacteria in the infection thread are enclosed in a microcapsule. This capsule disappears when the bacterium is released into the host cytoplasm. The membrane envelope which surrounds the bacteria in the host cell is shown to be derived from the plant cell membrane. The infection of the host cell is by means of a process akin to pinocytosis and the bacteria are confined to vacuoles in the host cytoplasm. As each membrane envelope contains only one bacterium, the envelopes must divide with the bacteria. The bacteria increase 40fold in volume from the infection thread to the stage of the mature bacteroid. The mature infected host cell contains few organelles. The mitochondria become confined to the periphery of the cell. Differences of membrane structure in gram negative bacteria found by other workers have been attributed to fixation artifacts. 相似文献

The understanding of the functional role of aquatic bacteria in microbial food webs is largely dependent on methods applied to the direct visualization and enumeration of these organisms. While the ultrastructure of aquatic bacteria is still poorly known, routine observation of aquatic bacteria by light microscopy requires staining with fluorochromes, followed by filtration and direct counting on filter surfaces. Here, we used a new strategy to visualize and enumerate aquatic bacteria by light microscopy. By spinning water samples from varied tropical ecosystems in a cytocentrifuge, we found that bacteria firmly adhere to regular slides, can be stained by fluorochoromes with no background formation and fast enumerated. Significant correlations were found between the cytocentrifugation and filter-based methods. Moreover, preparations through cytocentrifugation were more adequate for bacterial viability evaluation than filter-based preparations. Transmission electron microscopic analyses revealed a morphological diversity of bacteria with different internal and external structures, such as large variation in the cell envelope and capsule thickness, and presence or not of thylakoid membranes. Our results demonstrate that aquatic bacteria represent an ultrastructurally diverse population and open avenues for easy handling/quantification and better visualization of bacteria by light microscopy without the need of filter membranes. 相似文献

Comparison of cell-specific activity between free-living and attached bacteria using isolates and natural assemblages 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Marine snow aggregates are microbial hotspots that support high bacterial abundance and activities. We conducted laboratory experiments to compare cell-specific bacterial protein production (BPP) and protease activity between free-living and attached bacteria. Natural bacterial assemblages attached to model aggregates (agar spheres) had threefold higher BPP and two orders of magnitude higher protease activity than their free-living counterpart. These observations could be explained by preferential colonization of the agar spheres by bacteria with inherently higher metabolic activity and/or individual bacteria increasing their metabolism upon attachment to surfaces. In subsequent experiments, we used four strains of marine snow bacteria isolates to test the hypothesis that bacteria could up- and down-regulate their metabolism while on and off an aggregate. The protease activity of attached bacteria was 10-20 times higher than that of free-living bacteria, indicating that the individual strains could increase their protease activity within a short time (2 h) upon attachment to surfaces. Agar spheres with embedded diatom cells were colonized faster than plain agar spheres and the attached bacteria were clustered around the agar-embedded diatom cells, indicating a chemosensing response. Increased protease activity and BPP allow attached bacteria to quickly exploit aggregate resources upon attachment, which may accelerate remineralization of marine snow and reduce the downward carbon fluxes. 相似文献

The kinetics of sulfur oxidation by Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans in shaking flasks and a 10-L reactor was studied. The observed linearity of growth and sulfur oxidation was explained by sulfur limitation. Total cell yield was not significantly different for exponential growth as compared to growth during the sulfur-limiting phase. Kinetic studies of sulfur oxidation by growing and nongrowing bacteria indicated that both free and adsorbed bacteria oxidize sulfur. Changes in the number of free bacteria rather than cells adsorbed on sulfur were better predictors of the kinetics of sulfur oxidation, indicating that the free bacteria were performing sulfur oxidation. The active growth phase always followed adsorption of bacteria on sulfur; however, the special metabolic role of adsorbed bacteria was unclear. Their activity in sulfur solubilization was considered. 相似文献

Competition between Picoplanktonic Cyanobacteria and Heterotrophic Bacteria along Crossed Gradients of Glucose and Phosphate 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
Drakare S 《Microbial ecology》2002,44(4):327-335
A laboratory experiment was performed to test whether differences in nutrient and energy demands between picophytoplankton and heterotrophic bacteria can explain the apparent inverse biomass relationship between these organisms in lakes along gradients of organic carbon and nutrients. Growth rates and final yield of cells were analyzed in crossed gradients of glucose and phosphate. Concentrations of phosphate (10, 25, and 60 microg P L(-1)) and glucose (0, 0.3, and 3 mg C L(-1)) were used in all possible combinations giving 9 different treatments. Heterotrophic bacteria had higher maximum growth rates in all treatments and became larger than picophytoplankton in many treatments. The variance in abundance of heterotrophic bacteria between treatments could almost completely be explained by the combined effects of glucose and P. In treatments where carbon limitation slowed down the growth of heterotrophic bacteria, picophytoplankton became abundant and these organisms showed a positive response to P in combination with a negative response to glucose. The negative effect of glucose on picophytoplankton is suggested to be indirect and caused by competition with bacteria that are favored by organic C. The results suggest that competition for phosphate between phytoplankton and bacteria is not size-dependent, that heterotrophic bacteria are superior competitors for P, and that organic C produced by picophytoplankton was of minor importance for heterotrophic bacteria. 相似文献

Survival and therapeutic potential of probiotic organisms with reference to Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacterium spp 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8
The present paper provides an overview on the use of probiotic organisms as live supplements, with particular emphasis on Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacterium spp. The therapeutic potential of these bacteria in fermented dairy products is dependent on their survival during manufacture and storage. Probiotic bacteria are increasingly used in food and pharmaceutical applications to balance disturbed intestinal microflora and related dysfunction of the human gastrointestinal tract. Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacterium spp. have been reported to be beneficial probiotic organisms that provide excellent therapeutic benefits. The biological activity of probiotic bacteria is due in part to their ability to attach to enterocytes. This inhibits the binding of enteric pathogens by a process of competitive exclusion. Attachment of probiotic bacteria to cell surface receptors of enterocytes also initiates signalling events that result in the synthesis of cytokines. Probiotic bacteria also exert an influence on commensal micro-organisms by the production of lactic acid and bacteriocins. These substances inhibit growth of pathogens and also alter the ecological balance of enteric commensals. Production of butyric acid by some probiotic bacteria affects the turnover of enterocytes and neutralizes the activity of dietary carcinogens, such as nitrosamines, that are generated by the metabolic activity of commensal bacteria in subjects consuming a high-protein diet. Therefore, inclusion of probiotic bacteria in fermented dairy products enhances their value as better therapeutic functional foods. However, insufficient viability and survival of these bacteria remain a problem in commercial food products. By selecting better functional probiotic strains and adopting improved methods to enhance survival, including the use of appropriate prebiotics and the optimal combination of probiotics and prebiotics (synbiotics), an increased delivery of viable bacteria in fermented products to the consumers can be achieved. 相似文献

A method is described which allows quantitative biological and biochemical studies of the vacuum effect on bacteria. Quantitative studies can only be performed if vacuum-exposed bacteria can be removed completely from their support. This is achieved by exposing bacteria to vacuum on a polyvinylalcohol film. After vacuum exposure this film is dissolved in buffer, leading to a quantitative release of bacteria into the buffer. This suspension of vacuum-exposed bacteria can then be used for quantitative biological and biochemical studies of the vaccum effect on bacteria. 相似文献

Probiotic bacteria are found in the intestines of humans and other mammals where they provide health benefits to the host. They do so by (1) providing nutrients and cofactors, (2) successfully competing with pathogens, and (3) stimulating host immune responses by producing specific polysaccharides. These bacteria can also alleviate the symptoms of disease-related metabolic disorders. Prebiotics are substances, usually poorly metabolized polysaccharides and oligosaccharides, that cannot be ingested effectively by the animal. They stimulate the growth of intestinal probiotic bacteria, which can utilize these carbohydrates, thereby promoting health of the organism. Genetic engineering has proven useful for the design of probiotic bacteria that counteract the symptoms of genetic and age-related diseases. Can these bacteria be engineered, through human-promoted accelerative evolution, so that they stimulate their own growth and that of other probiotic bacteria so as to crowd pathogens out of the intestine? 相似文献

The changes in bacterial counts during the storage of a natural mineral water from a French spring were studied. Samples were taken from the spring and the bottling line. Viable cultivable (VC) bacteria were counted on R2A medium. Total counts, viable and dead bacteria were counted using the LIVE/DEAD Bac Light VIABILITY kit and epifluorescence microscopy. Viable but non-cultivable (VNC) bacteria were estimated by difference between viable and VC counts. Isolates were clustered by phenotype. The microflora in the spring water increased from < 10-3 x 10(5) bacteria ml-1 after 6 d in storage and then stabilized. Mechanical bottling increased the allochthonous bacteria in the water that stabilized at 10(5) bacteria ml-1. Maximal growth is controlled by the low concentration of nutrients in the mineral water and the lysis of dead cells. The allochthonous bacteria came from the aquifer and colonized the filling line. The changes in the VC and VNC populations showed that the bacteria used starvation-survival and entry into the VNC state to adapt to the bottling stress and the enclosed oligotrophic environment. 相似文献

Isolation and characterization of marine oligotrophic bacteria 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

A significant part of the world ocean is characterized by low absolute nutrients and chlorophyll concentrations. In these oligotrophic environments, bacteria are very abundant and play a vital role in the remineralization of the dissolved organic matter. Bacteria adapted to oligotrophic waters differ from those adapted to richer environments by some genetic and metabolic characteristics. Culture techniques in bacteriology are based on rich media and do not allow the growth of most marine bacteria. New techniques have been developed for the culture of oligotrophic bacteria, which allow to isolate unknown bacteria. Pelagibacter ubique and Sphingopyxis alaskensis belong to these bacteria recently isolated from the marine environment and their study yielded better understanding of how marine bacteria adapt to oligotrophic conditions. 相似文献

The regulation of bacterial community biomass and productivity by resources and predators is a central concern in the study of microbial food webs. Resource or bottom-up regulation refers to the limitation of bacteria by carbon and nutrients derived from allocthonous inputs, primary production, and heterotrophic production. Predatory or top-down regulation refers to the limitation of bacteria below levels supportable by resources alone. Large scale comparative studies demonstrate strong correlations between bacterial productivity and biomass, suggesting significant resource regulation. Comparisons of the abundances of heterotrophic flagellates and bacteria, however, imply that in some cases there may be top-down regulation of bacteria in eutrophic environments. Experimental studies in lakes support the importance of resource regulation and reveal little top-down control from protozoans. Increases in bacterial abundance and production with nutrient enrichment were limited in enclosure experiments with high abundances of the cladoceran, Daphnia. Regulation of bacteria by Daphnia may occur in many lakes seasonally and prevail in some lakes throughout the year where these animals sustain dense populations. In most situations, however, bacteria appear to be limited primarily by resources. 相似文献

Diel and seasonal variations in abundance, activity, and structure of particle-attached vs free-living bacterial communities
were investigated in offshore NW Mediterranean Sea (0–1000 m). Attached bacteria were always less abundant and less diverse
but generally more active than free-living bacteria. The most important finding of this study was that the activity of attached
bacteria showed pronounced diel variations in the upper mixed water column with higher activities at night. Under mesotrophic
conditions, the contribution of attached bacteria to total bacterial activity increased from less than 10% at day time to
83% at night time. At high chlorophyll a concentration, the highest cell-specific activities and contribution to total bacterial activity were due to free-living
bacteria at day and to attached bacteria at night. Under summer oligotrophic conditions, free-living bacteria dominated and
contributed to the most important part of the bacterial activity at both day and night, whereas attached bacteria were much
less abundant but presented the highest cell-specific activities. These diel and seasonal variations in activities were concomitant
to changes in bacterial community structure, mainly in the upper layer. The number of attached ribotypes was fairly constant
suggesting that particles are colonized by a relatively limited number of ubiquitous ribotypes. Most of these ribotypes were
also free-living ribotypes suggesting that attached bacteria probably originate from colonization of newly formed particles
by free-living bacteria in the upper layer. These results reinforce the biogeochemical role of attached bacteria in the cycling
of particulate organic carbon in the NW Mediterranean Sea and the importance of diel variability in these processes. 相似文献

It is now well established that bacteria communicate through the secretion and uptake of small diffusable molecules. These chemical cues, or signals, are often used by bacteria to coordinate phenotypic expression and this mechanism of regulation presumably provides them with a competitive advantage in their natural environment. Examples of coordinated behaviors of marine bacteria which are regulated by signals include swarming and exoprotease production, which are important for niche colonisation or nutrient acquisition (e.g. protease breakdown of substrate). While the current focus on bacterial signalling centers on N-Acylated homoserine lactones, the quorum sensing signals of gram-negative bacteria, these are not the only types of signals used by bacteria. Indeed, there appears to be many other types of signals produced by bacteria and it also appears that a bacterium may use multiple classes of signals for phenotypic regulation. Recent work in the area of marine microbial ecology has led to the observation that some marine eukaryotes secrete their own signals which compete with the bacterial signals and thus inhibit the expression of bacterial signalling phenotypes. This type of molecular mimicry has been well characterised for the interaction of marine prokaryotes with the red alga, Delisea pulchra. 相似文献
