新喀里多尼亚弧菌CGJ02-2中四氢嘧啶合成基因簇ectABC的克隆及其功能鉴定

研究旨在克隆新的四氢嘧啶合成基因簇,并对其功能进行鉴定,为应用于四氢嘧啶的生产奠定基础。从新喀里多尼亚弧菌CGJ02-2中克隆获得四氢嘧啶合成基因簇ectABC,ectABC与表达载体pBAD连接后转化至大肠杆菌BW25113中,通过L-阿拉伯糖诱导表达。采用SDS-PAGE和液质联用鉴定重组表达蛋白,利用全细胞催化合成四氢嘧啶,通过高分辨质谱鉴定四氢嘧啶,并从天冬氨酸浓度、KCl浓度、温度和pH 4个方面优化催化条件。结果表明,来自新喀里多尼亚弧菌CGJ02-2基因组的ectABC大小为2 235 bp。SDS-PAGE显示表达产物中有3个重组蛋白产生,液质联用鉴定表明其分子量分别与ectA、ectB、ectC的理论分子量一致。高分辨质谱分析发现全细胞催化上清中有四氢嘧啶产生。优化后的最适全细胞催化条件为：天冬氨酸浓度100 mmol·L^-1,KCl浓度100 mmol·L^-1,温度30℃,pH 7.0,最优条件下产量为1.11 mg·mL^-1。研究从弧菌中克隆了四氢嘧啶合成基因簇ectABC,并在大肠杆菌BW2511...     

Effect of environmental stresses and high hydrostatic pressure on the Antibiotic susceptibility of pathogenic Vibrio parahaemolyticus

The aim of the present study was to determine the effect of environmental stresses (temperature, pH, osmotic pressure, high hydrostatic pressure (HHP)) on the antibiotic susceptibility of 12 different pathogenic Vibrio parahaemolyticus isolates. Isolates were subjected to growth at (30 ℃and 37 ℃), an osmotic pressure of (1% and 6% NaCl), a media at pH (6.0 and 9.0) and three different HHP treatment (180, 250, 300 MPa). The minimal inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of tested antibiotics used against unstressed (control), stressed or post-stressed isolates were determined using the broth microdilution method. The study found that incubation under increased salt (6%), reduced salt (1%) and increased pH (9.0) conditions were commonly associated with increased antibiotic resistance. Incubation at 30 ℃ temperature, reduced pH (6.0) and HHP treatment were commonly associated with decreased antibiotic resistance. Besides, both ciprofloxacin and cefotaxime kept a constant MIC during almost all stress challenges. Thus our data demonstrate that exposure of V. parahaemolyticus to some stress conditions may contribute on the rapid development of antibiotic resistance in this food borne pathogen.
