The fungus Rhizopus delemar produced extracellular and cellular acid phosphatase during the growth in starch-supplemented medium in the presence or absence of copper ions. The levels of both AP-ase activities were maximal at the end of exponential growth phase and were dependent on copper concentrations. Copper ions in the medium provoked slight decrease of specific AP-ase activities and significant increase of the values of secreted enzyme per gram dry cells. On the other hand, an increase of copper ions in the reaction mixture leads to considerable increase of the values of cellular enzyme activity. Total uptake of copper (II) was highest at the highest copper (II) concentration, when resting cells were used. Between 27 and 30% copper (II) was not removed by acid washing, suggested that this copper was bound intracellularly by mycelium. Determination of the Michaelis constant for the cellular AP-ase gave value of 0.325 mM. The pH optimum of the enzyme was determined to be in the range of 3.5–4.5 using p-nitrophenyl phosphate (pNPP) as a substrate. The data obtained indicated a possible participation of AP-ases in the processes of heavy metal resistance and heavy metal uptake of this fungus. 相似文献

Abstract The yeast Yarrowia lipolytica produces four patterns of phosphatase activity during growth in the presence or absence of inorganic phosphate in the medium. Activities had pH optima at 4.2, 5.8, about pH 6.5 and pH 9.0. The level of all four phosphatase activities depended on the presence of inorganic phosphate in the medium. 相似文献

Endometrial bleeding during proestrus is a well-known phenomenon in the bitch. However, the exact events on the cellular level have not been studied. In the present investigation, immunohistochemical methods and transmission electron microscopy were employed to obtain more information about this cyclic event in canines. Long, stretched blood vessels were seen in H&E stained sections during proestrus. These vessels showed mitotic activity, as evidenced by Ki67 immunostaining. Although the endothelial lining and basement membrane of endometrial blood vessels seemed continuous, as indicated by immunohistochemical staining for laminin and Von Willebrand factor, transmission electron microscopy showed an extreme thinning and even interruption of the vascular wall in endometrial venules. Platelets were frequently seen in those areas, and also detected by immunohistochemistry. Interestingly, all endometrial capillaries examined by electron microscopy had an intact wall. We therefore postulate the endometrial venules to be the blood vessels that are mainly responsible for proestrus endometrial bleeding, rather than subepithelial capillaries. 相似文献

Bacterial isolates from industrial wastewater were characterized according to probable modes of hexadecane uptake based on data for cell surface hydrophobicity, emulsifying activity, glycoside content and surface tension of cell-free culture medium. The results obtained suggested that both modes of biosurfactant-enhanced hexadecane uptake by bacterial strains take place, direct uptake and alkane transfer. The increase in cell surface hydrophobicity and glycoside production by the strains suggested the existence of biosurfactant-enhanced interfacial uptake of the alkane. Such mechanism is probably predominant for three isolates, Staphylococcus sp. HW-2, Streptococcus sp. HW-9 and Bacillus sp. HW-4. Secreted biosurfactants enhanced mainly alkane emulsification for most hydrophobic isolate Arthrobacter sp. HW-8, and micellar transfer for most hydrophilic isolate Streptococcus sp. HW-5. For other strains (67%) both mechanisms of biosurfactant-enhanced hexadecane uptake probably take place in similar degree, interfacial uptake and alkane emulsification. The results obtained could contribute to clarifying the natural relationships between the members of water ecosystem studied as well as will reveal potential producers of surface active compounds. 相似文献

The potential of biosurfactant PS to permeabilize bacterial cells of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, and Bacillus subtilis on growing (in vivo) and resting (in vitro) cells was studied. Biosurfactant was shown to have a neutral or detrimental effect
on the growth of Gram-positive strains, and this was dependent on the surfactant concentration. The growth of Gram-negative
strains was not influenced by the presence of biosurfactant in the media. Cell permeabilization with biosurfactant PS was
shown to be more effective with B. subtilis resting cells than with Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Scanning-electron microscopy observations showed that the biosurfactant PS did not exert a disruptive action on resting
cells such that it was detrimental to the effect on growing cells of B. subtilis. Low critical micelle concentrations, tender action on nongrowing cells, and neutral effects on the growth of microbial strains
at low surfactant concentrations make biosurfactant PS a potential candidate for application in different industrial fields,
in environmental bioremediation, and in biomedicine. 相似文献

AIM: The aim of this work was to study the effect of the novel surfactant PS from Pseudomonas sp. S-17 on Saccharomyces cerevisiae 83-20 yeast cells and to compare it with the effect of the well known surfactant Triton X-100. METHODS AND RESULTS: The effect of surfactants was investigated on the cells during growth, and on the separated cells. The cell-permeabilizing effect of surfactants was studied by following the release of protein and some enzyme activities. The biosurfactant did not affect the culture growth kinetics, and altered the polypeptide profiles of cells and membrane proteins in the same way as Triton X-100. CONCLUSION: Results of this study demonstrate that biosurfactant PS and Triton X-100 have a similar type of action, mainly surface located, and that they do not affect the intracellular structures of yeast cells. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: A novel surfactant PS was isolated from Pseudomonas sp. S-17. A mild effect of PS on yeast cells was demonstrated. The results indicate the ecological safety of the biosurfactant and its potential use in the development of environmentally-benign and efficient cleaning technologies. 相似文献

In this study, the effect of rhamnolipid biosurfactant produced by Pseudomonas fluorescens on bacterial strains, laboratory strains, and isolates from industrial wastewater was investigated. It was shown that biosurfactant,
depending on the concentration, has a neutral or detrimental effect on the growth and protein release of model Gram (+) strain
Bacillus subtilis 168. The growth and protein release of model Gram (−) strain Pseudomonas aeruginosa 1390 was not influenced by the presence of biosurfactant in the medium. Rhamnolipid biosurfactant at the used concentrations
supported the growth of some slow growing on hexadecane bacterial isolates, members of the microbial community. Changes in
cell surface hydrophobicity and permeability of some Gram (+) and Gram (−) isolates in the presence of rhamnolipid biosurfactant
were followed in experiments in vitro. It was found that bacterial cells treated with biosurfactant became more or less hydrophobic
than untreated cells depending on individual characteristics and abilities of the strains. For all treated strains, an increase
in the amount of released protein was observed with increasing the amount of biosurfactant, probably due to increased cell
permeability as a result of changes in the organization of cell surface structures. The results obtained could contribute
to clarify the relationships between members of the microbial community as well as suggest the efficiency of surface properties
of rhamnolipid biosurfactant from Pseudomonas fluorescens making it potentially applicable in bioremediation of hydrocarbon-polluted environments. 相似文献

Abstract The adaptation of the yeast Yarrowia lipolytica 76-18 to growth temperature was studied by measuring the levels of secreted and intracellular acid phosphatase activities during growth at five temperatures from 8 to 36 °C. The intracellular acid phosphatase activity is maximal at a growth temperature of 20 °C. The level of the secreted phosphatase activity decreases as growth temperature increases from 15 to 36 °C. It is the growth temperature itself and not the growth rate that regulates these activities. The observed dependence of the acid phosphatase activity on the growth temperature indicates a possible participation of acid phosphatases in the temperature adaptation of yeast cells. 相似文献

The effect of rhamnolipid-biosurfactant produced by Pseudomonas sp. PS-17 on cell surface structures of Pseudomonas aeruginosa NBIMCC 1390 was studied. The results demonstrated that the rhamnolipid at concentrations below and above CMC provoked a multi-component response of the bacterial cells without affecting their growth and viability. Above CMC, the rhamnolipid caused reduction of total cellular LPS content of 22%, which can be associated with an increase in cell hydrophobicity to 31% adherence. The rhamnolipid-biosurfactant at concentration below CMC did not affect the LPS component of the bacterial outer membrane but caused changes in OMP composition of P. aeruginosa. Examination of the OMP profiles revealed that the amount of major proteins (Opr F, Opr D, Opr J and Opr M) markedly decreased. To our knowledge this is the first report on the rhamnolipid-biosurfactant interactions with bacterial cells showing changes in outer membrane proteins of P. aeruginosa. In both concentrations, the biosurfactant caused changes in cell surface morphology. The results indicate that the rhamnolipid-biosurfactant from Pseudomonas sp. PS-17 has a potential application in the relatively new field of biomedicine. 相似文献

The polyamines spermine and spermidine and the diamine putrescine inhibit lipid peroxidation in phospholipid liposome suspensions and rat liver homogenates. Using the chemiluminescence technique the antioxidant activity of polyamines was found to be due to reactions with the free radical intermediates of lipid peroxidation and/or superoxide radicals. Also, the antioxidant action of polyamines correlated with the amount of their amino groups: the antioxidant activity increases from putrescine to spermine. 相似文献
