Quorum sensing: How bacteria can coordinate activity and synchronize their response to external signals?

Quorum sensing is used by a large variety of bacteria to regulate gene expression in a cell-density-dependent manner. Bacteria can synchronize population behavior using small molecules called autoinducers that are produced by cognate synthases and recognized by specific receptors. Quorum sensing plays critical roles in regulating diverse cellular functions in bacteria, including bioluminescence, virulence gene expression, biofilm formation, and antibiotic resistance. The best-studied autoinducers are acyl homoserine lactone (AHL) molecules, which are the primary quorum sensing signals used by Gram-negative bacteria. In this review we focus on the AHL-dependent quorum sensing system and highlight recent progress on structural and mechanistic studies of AHL synthases and the corresponding receptors. Crystal structures of LuxI-type AHL synthases provide insights into acyl-substrate specificity, but the current knowledge is still greatly limited. Structural studies of AHL receptors have facilitated a more thorough understanding of signal perception and established the molecular framework for the development of quorum sensing inhibitors.

Influence of nutrients addition and bioaugmentation on the hydrocarbon biodegradation of a chronically contaminated Antarctic soil

Complexity involved in the transport of soils and the restrictive legislation for the area makes on-site bioremediation the strategy of choice to reduce hydrocarbons contamination in Antarctica. The effect of biostimulation (with N and P) and bioaugmentation (with two bacterial consortia and a mix of bacterial strains) was analysed by using microcosms set up on metal trays containing 2·5 kg of contaminated soil from Marambio Station. At the end of the assay (45 days), all biostimulated systems showed significant increases in total heterotrophic aerobic and hydrocarbon-degrading bacterial counts. However, no differences were detected between bioaugmented and nonbioaugmented systems, except for J13 system which seemed to exert a negative effect on the natural bacterial flora. Hydrocarbons removal efficiencies agreed with changes in bacterial counts reaching 86 and 81% in M10 (bioaugmented) and CC (biostimulated only) systems. Results confirmed the feasibility of the application of bioremediation strategies to reduce hydrocarbon contamination in Antarctic soils and showed that, when soils are chronically contaminated, biostimulation is the best option. Bioaugmentation with hydrocarbon-degrading bacteria at numbers comparable to the total heterotrophic aerobic counts showed by the natural microflora did not improve the process and showed that they would turn the procedure unnecessarily more complex.

Biosynthesis of dothistromin

Dothistromin is a mycotoxin that is remarkably similar in structure to versicolorin B, a precursor of both aflatoxin and sterigmatocystin. Dothistromin-producing fungi also produce related compounds, including some aflatoxin precursors as well as alternative forms of dothistromin. Dothistromin is synthesized by pathogenic species of Dothistroma in the red bands of pine needles associated with needle blight, but is also made in culture where it is strongly secreted into the surrounding medium. Orthologs of aflatoxin and sterigmatocystin biosynthetic genes have been found that are required for the biosynthesis of dothistromin, along with others that are speculated to be involved in the same pathway on the basis of their sequence similarity to aflatoxin genes. An epoxide hydrolase gene that has no homolog in the aflatoxin or sterigmatocystin gene clusters is also clustered with the dothistromin genes, and all these genes appear to be located on a minichromosome in Dothistroma septosporum. The dothistromin genes are expressed at an early stage of growth, suggesting a role in the first stages of plant invasion by the fungus. Future studies are expected to reveal more about the role of dothistromin in needle blight and about the genomic organization and expression of dothistromin genes: these studies will provide for interesting comparisons with these aspects of aflatoxin and sterigmatocystin biosynthesis.
