Summary The short-trichome-forming, non-heterocystous and non-nitrogen-fixing (het
– nif–) mutant of the nitrogen-fixing blue-green alga Nostoc muscorum was isolated by N-methyl-N-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (NTG)-mutagenesis after penicillin enrichment technique and characterized. The mutant did not grow and fix nitrogen in combined-nitrogen-free medium while in nitrate-containing medium it grew well (K=0.112/day, G=64.27 h), although its growth was comparatively poor than the parent alga (K=0.128/day; G=56.14 h). The mutant was stable and both the het
– and nif
– characters reverted to wild type (het
+ nif+) with the reversion frequency of 2.62×10-7.The het
– nif– mutant tolerated 0.5 g/ml of streptomycin sulphate on the agar medium and its streptomycin resistant mutant capable of growing in presence of 10g/ml of streptomycin was isolated spontaneously with a frequency of 1.45×10-8. These streptomycin resistant isolates (het
– nif– strR) resisted 100 g/ml of streptomycin sulphate on the agar medium and 200 g/ml in liquid medium. Spontaneous virus-resistant mutant of het
– nif– strR was isolated with a mutation frequency of 4.02×10-4.The data of genetic recombination experiments suggested that there is transfer of both het and nif genes to het
– nif– strain with the frequency of 2×10-6 to 2×10-5 simultaneously. There was increase in recombination frequency with increasing the incubation period. The virus-resistance marker is also transferred to the sensitive recipient.Abbreviations CFU

Effect of Alloxan was studied on a nitrogen-fixing blue-green alga: Westiellopsis prolifica in pure cultures. Concentrations of Alloxan, 10 g to 50 g/ml stimulate the growth of the alga and increase the chlorophyll, carotin and phycocyanin content of the cultures. 相似文献

A manganese oxidizing bacterium was isolated from the surface of steel scraps and biochemical tests and 16S rRNA sequencing analysis confirmed the isolate as Bacillus flexus. Potentiodynamic polarization curves showed ennoblement of open circuit potential, increased passive current, a lowering of breakdown potential, active re-passivation potential and enhanced cathodic current in the presence of B. flexus. Adhesion studies with B. flexus on SS304 specimens with different surface treatments demonstrated decreased adhesion on passivated and FeCl3 treated specimens due to the removal of MnS inclusions. The present study provides evidence that surface treatment of stainless steels can reduce adhesion of this manganese oxidizing bacterium and decrease the probability of microbiologically influenced corrosion. 相似文献

A strain of Streptomyces, MBRL 179T, isolated from a sample from a Limestone quarry located at Hundung, Manipur, India, was characterized by polyphasic taxonomy. The strain formed a monophyletic clade with Streptomyces spinoverrucosus NBRC 14228T (16S rRNA gene sequence similarity of 99.3 %) in the Neighbour-joining tree. DNA–DNA hybridization experiment gave a DNA–DNA relatedness value of 34.7 % between MBRL 179T and S. spinoverrucosus NBRC 14228T. Strain MBRL 179T contained LL-diaminopimelic acid, xylose, glucose, and mannose in the whole cell-wall hydrolysates along with small amount of ribose. The major polar lipids detected were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylinositol and phosphatidylinositolmannoside, with other unknown phospholipids and aminophospholipid. MK-9(H6), MK-9(H8) and MK-9(H4) were the predominant menaquinones detected. The major fatty acids were anteiso-C16:0 (28.1 %), iso-C16:0 (20.3 %), C16:0 (9.4 %) and anteiso-C17:0 (8.3 %). The G+C content of the genomic DNA was 71.1 %. Based on the polyphasic experiment results, the strain MBRL 179T merits recognition as a representative of a novel species of the genus Streptomyces for which the name Streptomyces muensis sp. nov. is proposed; the type strain is MBRL 179T (=JCM 17576T = KCTC 29124T). 相似文献

Rad21 is one of the major cohesin subunits that holds sister chromatids together until anaphase, when proteolytic cleavage by separase, a caspase-like enzyme, allows chromosomal separation. We show that cleavage of human Rad21 (hRad21) also occurs during apoptosis induced by diverse stimuli. Induction of apoptosis in multiple human cell lines results in the early (4 h after insult) generation of 64- and 60-kDa carboxy-terminal hRad21 cleavage products. We biochemically mapped an apoptotic cleavage site at residue Asp-279 (D(279)) of hRad21. This apoptotic cleavage site is distinct from previously described mitotic cleavage sites. hRad21 is a nuclear protein; however, the cleaved 64-kDa carboxy-terminal product is translocated to the cytoplasm early in apoptosis before chromatin condensation and nuclear fragmentation. Overexpression of the 64-kDa cleavage product results in apoptosis in Molt4, MCF-7, and 293T cells, as determined by TUNEL (terminal deoxynucleotidyltransferase-mediated dUTP-biotin nick end labeling) and Annexin V staining, assaying of caspase-3 activity, and examination of nuclear morphology. Given the role of hRad21 in chromosome cohesion, the cleaved C-terminal product and its translocation to the cytoplasm may act as a nuclear signal for apoptosis. In summary, we show that cleavage of a cohesion protein and translocation of the C-terminal cleavage product to the cytoplasm are early events in the apoptotic pathway and cause amplification of the cell death signal in a positive-feedback manner. 相似文献

Aeromonas hydrophila is frequently reported from arsenic affected areas. Present study was aimed to determine the effect of arsenic and temperature on growth of A. hydrophila. The bacteria were isolated from naturally infected fish from a water body in Birbhum, West-Bengal, India, which is reported to be an arsenic-free area. Arsenic concentration in natural aquatic reservoirs (e.g., pond, lake or river) varies from 0–6 mg/L. No significant change in bacterial growth was observed within this range of arsenic exposure. However, variation in temperature impacted the growth of A. hydrophila. A single dimension model was constructed using simple logistic equation. Rate parameters of the model were derived from the experimental observations. Comparison of model results and laboratory observations gives a good conformity regarding the effect of variation of arsenic concentration and temperature change on growth of this bacterium. From the analysis of this model we further get the idea that the maximum growth of A. hydrophila is supposed to be at 31.4°C in absence of arsenic, whereas at 477 mg/L arsenic concentration, the growth of the bacteria totally stops at 30°C. 相似文献

RAD51C is a member of the RecA/RAD51 protein family, which is known to play an important role in DNA repair by homologous recombination. In mice, it is essential for viability. Therefore, we have generated a hypomorphic allele of Rad51c in addition to a null allele. A subset of mice expressing the hypomorphic allele is infertile. This infertility is caused by sexually dimorphic defects in meiotic recombination, revealing its two distinct functions. Spermatocytes undergo a developmental arrest during the early stages of meiotic prophase I, providing evidence for the role of RAD51C in early stages of RAD51-mediated recombination. In contrast, oocytes can progress normally to metaphase I after superovulation but display precocious separation of sister chromatids, aneuploidy, and broken chromosomes at metaphase II. These defects suggest a possible late role of RAD51C in meiotic recombination. Based on the marked reduction in Holliday junction (HJ) resolution activity in Rad51c-null mouse embryonic fibroblasts, we propose that this late function may be associated with HJ resolution. 相似文献

Bengal Basin is known for severe arsenic contamination. In the present study, we have isolated six bacteria from the arsenic contaminated surface water of Bengal Basin. 16S rDNA sequence analysis identified them as Microbacterium oleivorans, Acinetobacter soli, Acinetobacter venetianus, Acinetobacter junii, Acinetobacter baumannii, Acinetobacter calcoaceticus. All the isolates possess arsenic accumulation potential and high molecular weight plasmid (>10 kb). PCR amplification indicated the presence of arsenic-resistance genes (arsB and aoxB) either in the genome or plasmid or in both in the isolated bacteria (except in Acinetobacter venetianus). Exposure to arsenic affected bacterial growth and induced alteration in cytoplasmic membrane integrity. 相似文献
