NinePseudomonas strains were selected by their high copper tolerance from a population of bacteria isolated from heavy-metal polluted zones. Copper resistance (Cu
r
) was inducible by previous exposure of cultures to subinhibitory amounts of copper sulfate. All nine strains possessed large plasmids, but transformation and curing results suggest that Cu
r
is conferred by chromosomal genes. Plasmid-lessPseudomonas aeruginosa PAO-derived strains showed the same level of Cu
r
as environmental isolates and their resistance to copper was also inducible. Total DNA from the environmentalPseudomonas, as well as fromP. aeruginosa PAO strains, showed homology to a Cu
r
P. syringae cop probe at low-stringency conditions but failed to hybridize at high-stringency conditions. 相似文献

Cu2+ ion determinations were carried out in complex and in inorganic salts-glycerol media, to which increasing amounts of Cu(II) had been added, with the ion-specific Cu(II)-Selectrode. Likewise, complexing capacity of bacterial suspensions was estimated by titration with CuSO4.Copper-sensitive bacteria, e.g.,Klebsiella aerogenes, were inhibited in their growth and survival in the range of 10–8–10–6 M Cu2+ ion concentrations. In copper-buffered complex media, high copper loads could be tolerated, as growth proceeded with most of the copper bound to medium components. In low-complexing mineral salts media, in which high Cu2+ ion concentrations exist at low copper loads, there was competition of Cu2+ for binding sites of the cells. Total allowed copper was then determined by the ratio of copper to biomass.Copper-resistant bacteria could be isolated from a stock solution of CuSO4, containing 100 ppm Cu(II). They were of thePseudomonas type and showed a much higher tolerance towards Cu2+, up to 10–3 M. 相似文献

Cultivation and molecular-based approaches were used to study microbial diversity in two Chilean marine sediments contaminated with high (835 ppm) and very high concentrations of copper (1,533 ppm). The diversity of cultivable bacteria resistant to copper was studied at oxic and anoxic conditions, focusing on sulfate-, thiosulfate-, and iron-reducing bacteria. For both sediments, the cultivable bacteria isolated at oxic conditions were mostly affiliated to the genus Bacillus, while at anoxic conditions the majority of the cultivable bacteria found were closely related to members of the genera Desulfovibrio, Sphingomonas, and Virgibacillus. Copper resistance was between 100 and 400 ppm, with the exception of a strain affiliated to members of the genus Desulfuromonas, which was resistant up to 1,000 ppm of copper. In parallel, cloning and sequencing of 16S rRNA was performed to study the total bacterial diversity in the sediments. A weak correlation was observed between the isolated strains and the 16S rRNA operational taxonomic units detected. The presence of copper resistance genes (copA, cusA, and pcoA) was tested for all the strains isolated; only copA was detected in a few isolates, suggesting that other copper resistance mechanisms could be used by the bacteria in those highly copper-contaminated sediments. 相似文献

Microbial oxidation of iron and sulfur are important steps in biogeochemical cycles in mining environments. The aim of this study was the enrichment and identification of two important groups of bacteria that are involved in bioleaching of copper ores. Some soil samples were collected from the Maiduk copper mine. Iron-oxidizing bacteria were enriched in 9K medium containing ferrous sulfate, and sulfur oxidizers were enriched in 9K medium containing powdered sulfur instead of ferrous sulfate as energy source. After three subcultures, autotrophic bacteria were isolated on 9K agarose medium with appropriate energy sources. The autotrophic bacteria from the enrichments were identified by amplification of 16S rRNA gene and sequencing. Bioleaching experiments were performed in 100 ml of 9K medium containing 5 g of low-grade copper ore instead of ferrous sulfate. Twelve different iron and sulfur-oxidizing bacteria were isolated from the collected soil samples of Maiduk copper mine. Molecular identification indicated that two prevalent strains in the ore enrichments could be assigned to the Acidithiobacillus ferooxidans strain HGM and the Thiobacillus thioparus strain HGE. These two strains reached their logarithmic phase of growth after 8 days of incubation in their respective media at 30°C. Of these two cultures, strain HGM leached more copper ore (300 ppm) from the Maiduk copper ore than did strain HGE (200 ppm). Application of these two strains to the Maiduk copper ore in situ and to ore heaps should improve the leaching process. 相似文献

Saccharomyces cerevisiae wine strains differing in copper resistance exhibit different capability to reduce copper content in wine 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Two wine strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, characterized by a different degree of copper resistance, were tested in grape must fermentation in the presence of different copper concentrations. The sensitive strain SN9 was strongly affected by copper concentration (32 ppm, (32 mg/l)), whereas the resistant strain SN41 exhibited a good growth activity in presence of 32 ppm of copper and only a reduced activity in presence of 320 ppm. The different strain fermentation performance in response to the copper addition corresponded to a different capability to accumulate copper inside the cells. Both strains exhibited the capacity to reduce the copper content in the final product, eventhough a significantly greater reducing activity was exerted by the resistant strain SN41, which was able to reduce by 90% the copper concentration in the final product and to accumulate the metal in great concentrations in the cells. As high concentrations of copper can be responsible for wine alterations, the selection of S. cerevisiae strains possessing high copper resistance and the ability to reduce the copper content of wine has a great technological interest, in particular for the fermentation of biological products. From the results obtained, the technique proposed is not only suitable for the assay of copper residues in must, wine and yeast cells, but it also offers the advantage of easy sample preparation and low detection limit in the ppb (g/l) range. 相似文献

Methanotrophs expressing soluble methane monooxygenase (sMMO) may find use in a variety of industrial applications. However,
sMMO expression is strongly inhibited by copper, and the growth rate may be limited by the aqueous solubility of methane.
In this study, addition of allylthiourea decreased intracellular copper in Methylosinus trichosporium OB3b, allowing sMMO production at Cu/biomass ratios normally not permitting sMMO synthesis. The presence of about 1.5 μmoles
intracellular Cu g−1 dry biomass resulted in sMMO activity of about 250 μmoles 1-napthol formed per hour gram dry biomass whether this intracellular
Cu concentration was achieved by Cu limitation or by allylthiourea addition. No loss of sMMO activity occurred when the growth
substrate was switched from methane to methanol when allylthiourea had been added to growth medium containing copper. Addition
of copper to medium that was almost copper-free increased the yield of dry biomass from methanol from 0.20 to 0.36 g g−1, demonstrating that some copper was necessary for good growth. This study demonstrated a method by which sMMO can be produced
by M. trichosporium OB3b while growing on methanol in copper-containing medium. 相似文献

Pseudomonas aeruginosa was isolated from infected burn patients and characterized by standard biochemical tests. The in vitro copper uptake was
compared between this isolated pathogenic strain and two non-pathogenic control strains of Gram positive bacteria Bacillus
thuringiensis strain Israelis as well as Gram negative bacteria Enterobacter aerogenes. Maximum copper uptake of 470 ppm/g biomass was obtained by P. aeruginosa strain, while the control strains B. thuringiensis and Enterobacter aerogenes had copper uptake of 350 and 383 ppm/g biomass, respectively. However, the lowest copper uptake (60 ppm/g biomass) was observed
with another control the saprophytic strain Pseudomonas (Shewanella) putrefaciens. A further investigation regarding the effect of copper toxicity on bacterial growth, gave an MIC score of 600 ppm for P. aeruginosa strain compared to 460 and 300 ppm for the two Gram positive and Gram negative control strains, respectively. In tandem with
these in vitro findings, blood analysis on burn patients infected with P. aeruginosa has indicated a selective decrease of copper (hypocupremia) and ceruloplasmin plasma levels. The iron metabolism was also
affected by this copper deprivation leading to a similar decrease in plasma levels of PCV, iron, total iron binding capacity,
and transferrin. All these hematological changes were significantly different (P < 0.05) from the matched group of non-infected burn patients. The observed hypocupremia in infected burn patients was attributed
to demanding scavenger ability by P. aeruginosa strain for the copper of plasma. 相似文献

Summary Three salt-tolerant bacteria which degraded xanthan were isolated from various water and soil samples collected from New Jersey, Illinois, and Louisiana. The mixed culture, HD1, contained aBacillus sp. which produced an inducible enzyme(s) having the highest extracellular xanthan-degrading activity found. Xanthan alone induced the observed xanthan-degrading activity. The optimum pH and temperature for cell growth were 5–7 and 30–35°C, respectively. The optimum temperature for activity of the xanthan-degrading enzyme(s) was 35–45°C, slightly higher than the optimum growth temperature. With a cell-free enzyme preparation, the optimum pH for the reduction of solution viscosity and for the release of reducing sugar groups were different (5 and 6, respectively), suggesting the involvement of more than one enzyme for these two reactions. Products of enzymatic xanthan degradation were identified as glucose, glucuronic acid, mannose, pyruvated mannose, acetylated mannose and unidentified oligo- and polysaccharides. The weight average molecular weight of xanthan samples shifted from 6.5·106 down to 6.0·104 during 18 h of incubation with the cell-free crude enzymes. The activity of the xanthan-degrading enzyme(s) was not influenced by the presence or absence of air or by the presence of Na2S2O4 and low levels of biocides such as formaldehyde (25 ppm) and 2,2-dibromo-3-nitrilopropionamide (10 ppm). Formaldehyde at 50 ppm effectively inhibited growth of the xanthan degraders. 相似文献

Summary The mineralization of 14C-labelled naphthalene was studied in pristine and oil-contaminated soil slurry (30% solids) under denitrifying conditions using a range of concentrations from below to above the aqueous phase saturation level. Results from sorption-desorption experiments indicated that naphthalene desorption was highly irreversible and decreased with an increase in the soil organic content, thus influencing the availability for microbial consumption. Under denitrifying conditions, the mineralization of naphthalene to CO2 occurred in parallel with the consumption of nitrate and an increase in pH from 7.0 to 8.6. When the initial substrate concentration was 50 ppm (i.e. close to the aqueous phase saturation level), about 90% of the total naphthalene was mineralized within 50 days, and a maximum mineralization rate of 1.3 ppm day–1 was achieved after a lag period of approx. 18 days. When added at concentrations higher than the aqueous phase saturation level (200 and 500 ppm), similar mineralization rates (1.8 ppm day–1) occurred until about 50 ppm of the naphthalene was mineralized. After that the mineralization rates decreased logarithmically to a minimum of 0.24 ppm day–1 for the rest of the 160 days of the experiments. For both of these higher concentrations, the reaction kinetics were independent of the concentration, indicating that desorption of the substrate governs the mineralization rate. Other results indicated that pre-exposure of soil to oil contamination did not improve the degradation rates nor reduce the lag periods. This study clearly shows the potential of denitrifying conditions for the biodegradation of low molecular weight PAHs.

Effect of a phosphate solubilizing bacteria on maize growth and root exudation over four levels of labile phosphorus 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
The influence of inoculation with phosphate-solubilizing bacteria (Enterobacter agglomerans) on maize growth, P uptake and root exudation was studied. Plants were grown in an axenic culture device where P was supplied
as soluble phosphate at different contents (0, 5, 15 or 25 ppm) in the nutrient solution and as insoluble rock phosphate added
to the culture sand. Experimental device was successfully used to obtain axenic root systems or good establishment of the
inoculated strain in the rhizosphere of maize (109 bact. g−1 dry rhizospheric material). Plant growth was promoted by inoculation only for 5 or 15 ppm of soluble P in the nutrient medium
without any significant effect on P uptake by the plant, suggesting that the quantities of P released by bacterial rhizospheric
activity were very small. Amounts of organic compounds (total C and water-soluble C) exuded were relatively low (3.0 to 6.4%
of the total plant biomass) and were reduced by bacterial inoculation when plant growth was largely promoted.
Carbon balance modification and plant growth hormone production by the inoculated strain were suspected and discussed. 相似文献

The biosorption of copper oxychloride fungicide particulates(1 m diameter), at concentrations ranging from 25 to 500 ppm active ingredient (ai), by pelleted mycelium of Aspergillus niger grown on Czapek Dox medium was evaluated. The concentration of the fungicide adsorbed to the mycelium, remaining suspended or solubilized in the medium, was determined by analysis of its copper content (CuF)using atomic absorption spectrophotometry (AAS). 2-day-old pellets exhibited highbiosorption efficiency ranging from 97 ± 1.0 to 88 ± 1.2% of the initially added fungicide concentrations, respectively, within 10 min. However, underthe same conditions, amounts of the removed fungicide by 6-day-old mycelial pellets were significantly lower and ranged from 0.5 ± 0.03 to 0.15 ± 0.01%. Scanning electron microscopy studies of 2-day-old pellets supplemented with thefungicide revealed predominant aggregations of clumps and dense particulates on the hyphal tips. The adsorbed CuF of 125 ppm ai fungicide subsequently decreased from 7.5 ± 0.5 to 2.1 ± 0.1 mol Cu (mg dry wt)-1 after 12 h incubation. Simultaneously, the soluble portion of CuF remaining in the medium increased from 0.9 ± 0.6 to4.9 ± 0.2 mol Cu ml-1. The presence of 50 mM CaCl2 resulted in a decrease of the adsorbed CuF to 3.5 ± 0.5 mol Cu (mg dry wt)-1 and solubilizedcopper in the medium increased to 5.9 ± 0.8 mol Cu ml-1. Additionally, the cellular copper contents attained after 2 h were 0.08 ± 0.01 and 0.16 ± 0.007 mol Cu (mg dry wt)-1 in absence and presence of calcium, respectively. The addition of calcium to glucose-starved pellets greatly increased the medium [H+] which was conclusively discussed in relation to Ca2+/H+ exchangecapacity of the fungal cells. These results are of potential environmental,biotechnological and agricultural importance. 相似文献

High copper concentration is toxic for living organisms including humans. Biosorption is a bioremediation technique that can remove copper and other pollutants from aqueous medium and soils, consequently cleaning the environment. The aim of this study was, therefore, to investigate the influence of different copper compounds (Cu(II) as CuCl2; Cu(II) as CuSO4; and Cu(I) as CuCl) on copper bioreduction and biosorption using four copper-resistant bacteria isolated from the rhizosphere of two plants (Avena sativa and Plantago lanceolata) in aqueous matrix. Copper resistance profile, bioreduction, and biosorption after 48 h of incubation were evaluated. The isolates displayed high copper resistance. However, isolate A1 did not grow very well in the CuCl2 and isolate T5 was less resistant to copper in aqueous solutions amended with CuCl (Cu(I)). The best copper source for copper bioreduction and biosorption was CuSO4 and the isolates removed as much as ten times more copper than in aqueous solutions amended with the other copper compounds. Moreover, Cu(I) did not succumb to biosorption, although the microbes were resistant to aqueous solutions of CuCl. In summary, Cu(II) from CuSO4 was furthermost susceptible to bioreduction and biosorption for all isolates. This is an indication that copper contamination of the environment from the use of CuSO4 as an agrochemical is amenable to bioremediation. 相似文献

The potential use of biosorbent prepared from an indigenously isolated cyanobacterium, Lyngbya putealis, for the removal of copper from aqueous solution has been investigated under optimized conditions in this study. Batch mode experiments were performed to determine the adsorption equilibrium and kinetic behavior of copper in aqueous solution allowing the computation of kinetic parameters and maximum metal adsorption capacity. Influences of other parameters like initial metal ion concentration (10-100 mg l−1), pH (2-8) and biosorbent dose (0.1-1.0 g/100 ml) on copper adsorption were also examined, using Box-Behnken design matrix. Very high regression coefficient between the variables and the response (R2 = 0.9533) indicates excellent evaluation of experimental data by second order polynomial regression model. The response surface method indicated that 40-50 mg l−1 initial copper concentration, 6.0-6.5 pH and biosorbent dose of 0.6-0.8 g/100 ml were optimal for biosorption of copper by biosorbent prepared from L. putealis. On the basis of experimental results and model parameters, it can be inferred that the biosorbent which has quite high biosorption capacity can be utilized for the removal of copper from aqueous solution. 相似文献

A bacterial disease was found in the beet armyworm, Spodoptera exigua (Hübner). Blackened body of the infected larvae was a typical symptom of the epizootic disease especially at the intersegmental areas. We isolated the bacteria from the hemolymph of the infected 5th instar larvae and identified the isolate as a gram-positive bacterium, Enterococcus faecalis. When the 4th instar larvae were injected with the bacteria, half lethal dose of the bacteria was estimated as 22,593 colony-forming units (cfu) per larva and half lethal time of the bacteria was estimated as 2 days at 107 cfu injection and 6 days at 108 cfu injection. The bacteria were strongly resistant to each 1,000 ppm of ampicillin, kanamycin, and streptomycin. They were, however, relatively susceptible to mixture (1,000 ppm) of different combinations of the three antibiotics. 相似文献

Ability for selective extraction of copper and zinc from zinc concentrate using association of chemolithotrophic bacteria
was investigated. In the presence of bacterial association, the rate of leaching of zinc, copper, and iron was increased 3-fold,
4–5-fold, and 2-fold, respectively. The results indicate the maximum dissolution rate for zinc, then followed by copperand
iron. It was revealed that addition of Fe3+ 2 g/l resulted in reduction of iron leaching and in 3-fold increase of leaching rate of copper at constant dissolution rate
of mineral zinc. It is suggested that the intensification of copper leaching is connected with the activity of sulfur-oxidizing
bacteria able to activate the mineral surface via elimination of passivation layer of elemental sulfur. It was concluded that
sulfur-oxidizing bacteria play a significant role in copper leaching from zinc concentrate. A unique strain of mesophile sulfur-oxidizing
bacteria was isolated from leaching pulp of zinc concentrate; in the perspective, it may serve as efficient candidate for
performing of selective extraction of copper from zinc concentrate. 相似文献

Recovery of copper and cobalt by biopolymer gels 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The recovery of copper from synthetic aqueous media circulating in a loop fluidized bed reactor operated batchwise was investigated by using the following biopolymer systems: (1) a viscous solution of sodium alginate (from kelp) dispensed directly into the reactor fluid containing dissolved copper (sulfate salt) at initial concentrations of 60-200 ppm, (2) partially coagulated calcium alginate spheres for absorbing dissolved copper at initial concentrations of 10-40 ppm, and (3) a mixture of green algae Microcystis and sodium alginate dispensed directly into the reactor fluid. The recovery of copper and cobalt, a strategic metal, from cobalt ore leachate was achieved by a two-step approach: direct dispensing of sodium alginate to absorb the bulk of metals followed by the addition of partially coagulated calcium alginate spheres to "polish" the leachate. Metal binding capacity and conditional stability constant of each biopolymer system as well as the effective diffusivity of cupric ion in the matrix of biopolymer gels are reported. 相似文献

Cytochrome c oxidase, Cu,Zn-superoxide dismutase, and ceruloplasmin activities in copper-deficient bovines 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

The activity of several cuproenzymes in relation to the immune system was examined in serum and blood cells from bovines with
molybdenum-induced copper deficiency. Five female cattle were given molybdenum (30 ppm) and sulfate (225 ppm) to induce experimental
secondary copper deficiency. Ceruloplasmin activity was determined in serum. The Cu,Zn-superoxide dismutase and cytochrome
c oxidase activities were measured in peripheral blood lymphocytes, neutrophils, and monocyte-derived macrophages. Copper deficiency
was confirmed from decreased serum copper levels and the animals with values less than 5.6 μmol/L were considered deficient.
The content of intracellular copper decreased between 40% and 70% in deficient cells compared with the controls. In copper-deficient
animals, the serum ceruloplasmin activity decreased to half of the control value. Both of them, the Cu,Zn-superoxide dismutase
and the cytochrome c oxidase activities, undergo a significant reduction in leukocytes, showing differences among diverse cell populations. We
concluded that the copper deficiency alters the activity of several enzymes, which mediate antioxidant defenses and ATP formation.
These effects may impair the cell immune functionality, affecting the bactericidal capacity and making the animals more susceptible
to infection. 相似文献

AbstractBacteria from two areas in Wales have been extracted and partially identified. The areas are a copper impregnated bog in the Coed-Y-Brenin Forest with low pH and high carbon and copper content, and the Morfa Harlech salt marshes which have neutral pH and lower copper and carbon. Bacillus spp. was the predominant bacterium in both soils, but there was increased diversity of bacteria in the salt marsh soils. Bacteria from the Cu-rich, Coed-Y-Brenin soils showed higher growth densities in nutrient agar plates containing 10, 30 and 100 μg cm?3 Cu than bacteria from the salt marsh soils, indicating that bacteria from the Coed-Y-Brenin soils could tolerate higher copper concentrations. Pseudomonas spp. from both study areas grew better in media with added Cu at low levels. The possibility is discussed that the bacteria play a part in the bioavailability of Cu particularly in the copper-rich Coed-Y-Brenin area. 相似文献

During the winters of 2001 and 2002, the effects of three strain of Agrobacterium rubi (A1, A16 and A18), a range of IBA concentrations (0, 2000, 4000 and 6000 ppm) alone and in combination with three strains of Agrobacterium rubi and date of cutting collection on the rooting of hardwood stem cuttings of kiwifruit cv. Hayward were evaluated. Treatments of hardwood stem cuttings of kiwifruit cv. Hayward with the bacteria, IBA and IBA plus bacteria were found to promote rooting. Highest rooting percentage was obtained from cuttings treated with 4000 ppm IBA plus A18 in cv. Hayward in both years. Higher rooting percentages were observed when shoots were collected in February rather than in January. 相似文献

Significant variations were detected in species composition between untreated rhizosphere and nonrhizosphere soils of tomato plants. Application of different concentrations of active ingredient of the herbicide diphenamid (5–250 ppm) to these soils caused significant alterations in species assemblages as compared with untreated soils. Also variations in species composition were denoted between treated rhizosphere and non-rhizosphere soils.Diphenamid concentrations of 10–100 ppm significantly affected microbial counts in soil and rhizosphere of tomato plants. Counts have been stimulated at diphenamid concentrations ranging from 10–50 ppm for fungi and 10–100 ppm for bacteria. At concentrations higher than the upper limits of these ranges, R/S values were not significantly affected.The results also indicated that Fusarium oxyspomm f.sp. lycopersici populations were unaffected by diphenamid at the recommended field rate (10 ppm). Above this concentration and within the conditions of the experiment, the pathogen maintained its population at detectable inocula. Population counts of Aspergillus candidus, a species reported to be able to degrade diphenamid, were high in both treated rhizosphere and non-rhizosphere soils. 相似文献
