The solvent-tolerant bacterium Enterobacter sp. VKGH12 is able to grow in toxic concentrations of n-butanol up to 1.5 % (volume in volume) as the sole carbon and energy source. Morphology changes in the cells growing on increasing concentrations of n-butanol were observed. The size of the bacteria decreased with increasing concentrations of n-butanol, also leading to an enhanced ratio between the surface and volume of the cells. This is in complete contradiction to the reaction of glucose-grown cells to which n-butanol had been added as a toxin. Similar differences were found in typical adaptive responses to toxic organic compounds, namely changes in fatty acid composition of membrane lipids and the activity of catalase. In both cases, reactions depending on the n-butanol concentrations could be observed when the toxin was added to glucose-grown cells, whereas no reaction was observable when the cells were growing in n-butanol as the sole carbon and energy source. This is another proof for the observation that there are certain differences between the adaptive strategies of cells when adapting to high concentrations of a growth substrate and those when adapting to a toxin added to growing cells.  相似文献

In the presence of vaporized p-cresol, Pseudomonas alkylphenolia KL28 forms specialized aerial structures (SAS). A transposon mutant of strain KL28 (C23) incapable of forming mature SAS was isolated. Genetic analysis of the C23 mutant revealed the transposon insertion in a gene (ssg) encoding a putative glycosyltransferase, which is homologous to the Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 PA5001 gene. Deletion of ssg in KL28 caused the loss of lipopolysaccharide O antigen and altered the composition of the exopolysaccharide. Wild-type KL28 produced a fucose-, glucose- and mannose-rich exopolysaccharide, while the mutant exopolysaccharide completely lacked fucose and mannose, resulting in an exopolysaccharide with glucose as the major component. The mutant strain showed reduced surface spreading, pellicle and biofilm formation, probably due to the cumulative effect of lipopolysaccharide truncation and altered exopolysaccharide composition. Our results show that the ssg gene of KL28 is involved in both lipopolysaccharide and exopolysaccharide biosynthesis and thus plays an important role in cell surface properties and cell-cell interactions of P. alkylphenolia.  相似文献

A bacterial strain capable of producing extracellular alpha-galactosidase was isolated from sugar cane industrial waste soil sample. Microbiological, physiological, and biochemical studies revealed that isolate belonged to Bacillus sp,. Furthermore, 16S rDNA sequence analysis of new isolates was identified as Bacillus megaterium VHM1. The production of alpha-galactosidase was optimized by various physical culture conditions. Guar gum and yeast extract acted as the best carbon and nitrogen source, respectively for the production of alpha-galactosidase. The enzyme showed an optimum pH at 7.5 and was stable over a pH between 5 and 9. The enzyme was optimally active in 55degreesC and the enzyme was thermostable with half life of 120 minutes at 55 degrees C and lost their 90%, residual activity in 120 minutes at 60 degrees C. alpha-Galactosidase was strongly inhibited by Ag2, Cu2, and Hg2+ at 1mM concentration. The metal ions Fe2, Mn2+, and Mg2+ had no effect on alpha-galactosidase activity, Zn2+,Ni2+, and Ca2+ reduced the enzyme activity slightly. The B megaterium VHM1 enzyme treatment completely hydrolyzed flatulence-causing sugars of soymilk within one and half hour.  相似文献

The solvent-tolerant bacterium Enterobacter sp. VKGH12 is capable of utilizing n-butanol and contains an NAD+-dependent n-butanol dehydrogenase (BDH). The BDH from n-butanol-grown Enterobacter sp. was purified from a cell-free extract (soluble fraction) to near homogeneity using a 3-step procedure. The BDH was purified 15.37-fold with a recovery of only 10.51, and the molecular mass estimated to be 38 kDa. The apparent Michaelis-Menten constant (Km) for the BDH was found to be 4 mM with respect to n-butanol. The BDH also had a broad range of substrate specificity, including primary alcohols, secondary alcohols, and aromatic alcohols, and exhibited an optimal activity at pH 9.0 and 40oC. Among the metal ions studied, Mg2+ and Mn2+ had no effect, whereas Cu2+, Zn2+, and Fe2+ at 1 mM completely inhibited the BDH activity. The BDH activity was not inhibited by PMSF, suggesting that serine is not involved in the catalytic site. The known metal ion chelator EDTA had no effect on the BDH activity. Thus, in addition to its physiological significance, some features of the enzyme, such as its activity at an alkaline pH and broad range of substrate specificity, including primary and secondary alcohols, are attractive for application to the enzymatic conversion of alcohols.  相似文献

The phenol-degrading solvent-tolerant bacterium Pseudomonas putida P8 changed its cell shape when grown in the presence of aromatic compounds such as phenol and 4-chlorophenol. The sizes of cells that had been growing after addition of different concentrations of the toxic compounds were measured using a coulter counter that calculates the sizes of the rod-shaped bacteria to diameters of virtual spheres. The cells showed an increase in the diameter depending on the toxic effects of the applied concentrations of both solvents. The same effect was measured for an alkanol degrading bacterium, Enterobacter sp. VKGH12, in the presence of n-butanol. The reaction of the cells to different concentrations of n-butanol was examined by scanning electron microscopy. With this technique it could be shown that the size of the bacteria increased with increasing concentrations of n-butanol. These changes in cell size were dependent on the cellular activity and occurred only after addition of non-lethal concentrations. In the presence of lethal concentrations that completely inhibited cell growth, the cell sizes were similar to those of cells without intoxication. Taking into account the mathematical formula for spherical and cylindrical diameter and surface, respectively, the cells reacted to the presence of organic solvents by decreasing the ratio between surface and volume of the cells and therefore reducing their relative surfaces. As the cell surface and especially the cytoplasmic membrane are the major targets for the toxic effects of membrane-active compounds, this reduction of the relative surface represents an adaptive response to the presence of such compounds.  相似文献

The colonization of liquid surfaces as floating biofilms or pellicles is a bacterial adaptation to optimally occupy the airliquid (A-L) niche. In aerobic heterotrophs, pellicle formation is beneficial for the utilization of O2 and nonpolar organic compounds. Pseudomonas alkylphenolica KL28, an alkylphenol degrader, forms flat circular pellicles that are 0.3–0.5 mm in diameter. In this study, we first monitored the pellicle developmental patterns of multicellular organization from the initial settlement stage. The pellicles developed by clonal growth and mutants for flagella and pilus formation established normal pellicles. In contrast, the mutants of an epm gene cluster for biosynthesis of alginate-like polymer were incompetent in cell alignment for initial two-dimensional (2D) pellicle growth, suggesting the role of the Epm polymer as a structural scaffold for pellicle biofilms. Microscopic observation revealed that the initial 2D growth transited to multilayers by an accumulated self-produced extracellular polymeric substance that may exert a constraint force. Electron microscopy and confocal laser scanning microscopy revealed that the fully matured pellicle structures were densly packed with matrix-encased cells displaying distinct arrangements. The cells on the surface of the pellicle were relatively flat, and those inside were longitudinally cross-packed. The extracellular polysaccharide stained by Congo red was denser on the pellicle rim and a thin film was observed in the open spaces, indicative of its role in pellicle flotation. Our results demonstrate that P. alkylphenolica KL28 coordinately dictates the cell arrangements of pellicle biofilms by the controlled growth of constituent cells that accumulate extracellular polymeric substances.  相似文献

In this study, the chromosome-encoded pcuRCAXB genes that are required for p-cresol degradation have been identified by using a newly constructed green fluorescent protein (GFP)-based promoter probe transposon in the long-chain alkylphenol degrader Pseudomonas alkylphenolia. The deduced amino acid sequences of the genes showed the highest identities at the levels of 65-93% compared with those in the databases. The transposon was identified to be inserted in the pcuA gene, with the promoterless gfp gene being under the control of the pcu catabolic gene promoter. The expression of GFP was positively induced by p-cresol and was about 10 times higher by cells grown on agar than those in liquid culture. In addition, phydroxybenzoic acid was detected during p-cresol degradation. These results indicate that P. alkylphenolia additionally possesses a protocatechuate ortho-cleavage route for pcresol degradation that is dominantly expressed in colonies.  相似文献

Genetic analysis of Bacteroides fragilis (BF) is hindered because of the lack of efficient transposon mutagenesis methods. Here, we describe a simple method for transposon mutagenesis using EZ::TN5, a commercially available system that we optimized for use in BF638R. The modified EZ::TN5 transposon contains an Escherichia coli conditional origin of replication, a kanamycin resistance gene for E. coli, an erythromycin resistance gene for BF , and 19 basepair transposase recognition sequences on either ends. Electroporation of the transposome (transposon-transposase complex) into BF638R yielded 3.2 ± 0.35 × 10(3) CFU μg(-1) of transposon DNA. Modification of the transposon by the BF638R restriction/modification system increased transposition efficiency sixfold. Electroporation of the EZ::TN5 transposome results in a single-copy insertion of the transposon evenly distributed across the genome of BF638R and can be used to construct a BF638R transposon library. The transposon was also effective in mutating a BF clinical isolate and a strain of the related species, Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron. The EZ::TN5-based mutagenesis described here is more efficient than other transposon mutagenesis approaches previously reported for BF.  相似文献

GacS and GacA proteins form a two component signal transduction system in bacteria. Here, Tn5 transposon gacS and gacA (Gac) mutants of Pseudomonas sp. KL28, an alkylphenol degrader, were isolated by selecting for smooth colonies of strain KL28. The mutants exhibited reduced ability to migrate on a solid surface. This surface motility does not require the action of flagella unlike the well-studied swarming motility of other Pseudomonas sp. The Gac mutants also showed reduced levels of biofilm and pellicle formation in liquid culture. In addition, compared to the wild type KL28 strain, these mutants were more resistant to high concentrations of m-cresol but were more sensitive to H2O2, which are characteristics that they share with an rpoS mutant. These results indicate that the Gac regulatory cascade in strain KL28 positively controls wrinkling morphology, biofilm formation, surface translocation and H2O2 resistance, which are important traits for its capacity to survive in particular niches.  相似文献
