A total of 40 symbiotic bacterial strains isolated from root nodules of common bean grown in a soil located in the north of Tunisia were characterized by PCR-RFLP of the 16S rRNA genes. Six different ribotypes were revealed. Nine representative isolates were submitted to phylogenetic analyses of rrs, recA, atpD, dnaK, nifH and nodA genes. The strains 23C40 and 23C95 representing the most abundant ribotype were closely related to Sinorhizobium americanum CFNEI 156(T). S. americanum was isolated from Acacia spp. in Mexico, but this is the first time that this species is reported among natural populations of rhizobia nodulating common bean. These isolates nodulated and fixed nitrogen with this crop and harbored the symbiotic genes of the symbiovar mediterranense. The strains 23C2 and 23C55 were close to Rhizobium gallicum R602sp(T) but formed a well separated clade and may probably constitute a new species. The sequence similarities with R. gallicum type strain were 98.7% (rrs), 96.6% (recA), 95.8% (atpD) and 93.4% (dnaK). The remaining isolates were, respectively, affiliated to R. gallicum, E. meliloti, Rhizobium giardinii and Rhizobium radiobacter. However, some of them failed to re-nodulate their original host but promoted root growth. 相似文献

Keratinases are exciting keratin-degrading enzymes; however, there have been relatively few studies on their immobilization. A keratinolytic protease from Chryseobacterium sp. kr6 was purified and its partial sequence determined using mass spectrometry. No significant homology to other microbial peptides in the NCBI database was observed. Certain parameters for immobilization of the purified keratinase on chitosan beads were investigated. The production of the chitosan beads was optimized using factorial design and surface response techniques. The optimum chitosan bead production for protease immobilization was a 20 g/l chitosan solution in acetic acid [1.5% (v/v)], glutaraldehyde ranging from 34 g to 56 g/l, and an activation time between 6 and 10 h. Under these conditions, above 80% of the enzyme was immobilized on the support. The behavior of the keratinase loading on the chitosan beads surface was well described using the Langmuir model. The maximum capacity of the support (qm) and dissociation constant (Kd) were estimated as 58.8 U/g and 0.245 U/ml, respectively. The thermal stability of the immobilized enzyme was also improved around 2-fold, when compared with that of the free enzyme, after 30 min at 65 degrees C. In addition, the activity of the immobilized enzyme remained at 63.4% after it was reused five times. Thus, the immobilized enzyme exhibited an improved thermal stability and remained active after several uses. 相似文献

Our laboratory has reported a self-assembled 3-D crystal based on a DNA tensegrity triangle. The tensegrity triangle is a rigid DNA motif with three-fold rotational symmetry consisting of three helices whose axes are directed along three linearly independent directions (1). The triangles form a crystalline lattice stabilized via sticky ends (2). The length of the sticky ends reported previously was two nucleotides (nt) GA:TC. Although diffracting to 4 Å resolution at the APS-ID19 beam line, they diffract only to 4.9 Å at the NSLS-X25 beam line. In the current study, we have analysed the effect of sticky end length and sequence on crystal formation and the resolution of the X-ray diffraction pattern on NSLS-X25. Tensegrity triangle motifs having 1-, 2-, and 3-nt sticky ends have all formed crystals. X-ray diffraction data from the same beam line revealed that the crystal resolution was somewhat better for the 2-nt sticky end having an AA:TT base pair (4.75 Å) than GA:CT and CC:GG (8.0 Å). Moreover, the 1-nt sticky end (C:G) yielded a diffraction pattern whose resolution (3.5 Å) compared favorably with all the three 2-nt sticky end systems. However, the triangle motif having a 1-nt sticky end with an A:T base pair did not yield any crystals. For motifs with 3-nt sticky ends, the sequence GAG:CTC produced small crystals (10–20?μm), while larger crystals (150?μm) were obtained with the sequences TAG:ATC and TAT:ATA. Our results indicate that not only do the lengths and sequences of the sticky ends define the interactions between motifs, but they also have an impact on the resulting resolution. We expect redesigned assemblies to form 3-D crystals with better resolution that can aid in the scaffolding of biological macromolecules for crystallographic structure determination. Applications in many areas of DNA nanotechnology are expected to benefit from a complete analysis of the effects of sticky end length, sequence, and free energy. 相似文献

This study represents the first report describing the genetic diversity of nodule-endophytic agrobacteria isolated from diverse legumes and their phylogenetic relationships with the valid species of agrobacteria, as well as the non-recognized genomospecies of the former Agrobacterium tumefaciens (Rhizobium radiobacter). The genetic diversity of a collection of 18 non-nodulating agrobacteria-like strains, previously isolated from root nodules of Vicia faba, Cicer arietinum and Phaseolus vulgaris from different geographical regions of Tunisia, was studied by REP-PCR and PCR-RFLP of the 16S-23S rDNA IGS, as well as by sequence analysis of the 16S rDNA and the housekeeping genes recA and atpD. The aim of the work was to study the genetic diversity of the different isolates and to check for any host-specificity. The results from the different techniques were congruent and suggested a specific interaction for P. vulgaris, whereas no specific endophytic interaction was observed for V. faba and C. arietinum. The phylogenetic analysis clearly indicated that some isolates were affiliated to R. radiobacter or to its non-recognized genomic species (genomovars G2, G4 and G9). However, the other isolates probably constitute new species within Rhizobium (Agrobacterium) and Shinella. 相似文献

The objective of this study was to evaluate the potential of a counter-current attrition process (CCAP) over 15 cycles for removing metals, pentachlorophenol (PCP) and polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and -furans (PCDDF) from contaminated soil. The CCAP, applied to the 1–4-mm fraction of a contaminated soil, included five attrition steps (pulp density (PD) = 40% (w w?1), surfactant [BW] = 2% (w w?1), t = 20 min, T = 20°C) followed by one rinsing step. The water emerging from the first attrition step was treated using flocculation in the presence of 0.04 g CMX 123 (commercial flocculent) L?1 before being reintroduced into the CCAP. The CCAP including the treatment of attrition wastewater (ATW) by flocculation achieved a removal of 44 ± 5% As, 26 ± 6% Cr, 24 ± 5% Cu, 49 ± 4% PCP and 45 ± 3% PCDDF. Moreover, the CCAP enabled a significant reduction (78%) in the amount of water required (around 14.5 m3 of water per ton of the 1–4-mm soil fraction). The high removal yields obtained after 15 attrition cycles of the CCAP for PCP and PCDDF and the significant reduction of water consumption confirm that this CCAP can be considered for industrial applications. 相似文献

The dichlorobis(2-phenylazopyridine)ruthenium(II) complexes, [Ru(azpy)(2)Cl(2)], are under renewed investigation due to their potential anticancer activity. The three most common isomers alpha-, beta- and gamma-[RuL(2)Cl(2)] with L= o-tolylazopyridine (tazpy) and 4-methyl-2-phenylazopyridine (mazpy) (alpha indicating the coordinating Cl, N(pyridine) and Nazo atoms in mutual cis, trans, cis positions, beta indicating the coordinating Cl, N(pyridine) and Nazo atoms in mutual cis, cis, cis positions, and gamma indicating the coordinating Cl, N(pyridine) and Nazo atoms in mutual trans, cis, cis positions) are synthesized and characterized by NMR spectroscopy. The molecular structures of gamma-[Ru(tazpy)(2)Cl(2)] and alpha-[Ru(mazpy)(2)Cl(2)] are determined by X-ray diffraction analysis. The IC(50) values of the geometrically isomeric [Ru(tazpy)(2)Cl(2)] and [Ru(mazpy)(2)Cl(2)] complexes compared with those of the parent [Ru(azpy)(2)Cl(2)] complexes are determined in a series of human tumour cell lines (MCF-7, EVSA-T, WIDR, IGROV, M19, A498 and H266). These data unambiguously show for all complexes the following trend: the alpha isomer shows a very high cytotoxicity, whereas the beta isomer is a factor 10 less cytotoxic. The gamma isomers of [Ru(tazpy)(2)Cl(2)] and [Ru(mazpy)(2)Cl(2)] display a very high cytotoxicity comparable to that of the gamma isomer of the parent compound [Ru(azpy)(2)Cl(2)] and to that of the alpha isomer. These biological data are of the utmost importance for a better understanding of the structure-activity relationships for the isomeric [RuL(2)Cl(2)] complexes. 相似文献

The identification and the screening of Charged Clusters (CCs) residues in proteins is a key analysis to assess any quantitative structure-function correlation in proteins. Here, we present a proteome wide scan for the occurrence of (CCs) in 99292 proteins using a new tool. Finding Clusters Charge in Protein Sequences Program (FCCP). The FCCP has been employed to search CCs in 35 prokaryotic proteomes (7 Psychrophiles, 10 Mesophiles, 9 thermophiles and for 9 hyperthermophiles). A new repository of 855 CC has been created. Results showed that the mapped proteins containing positive and negative charge clusters are mostly transmembrane proteins while the conserved CCs within the same proteome are transposases or involved in DNA binding and integration. Interestingly, the negative charged cluster was associated to bacteria growth's temperature (p=0.002) acting as proteins' core signature. Taken together the various results provide a consistent picture of these screened CCs in terms of its potentials functional roles. 相似文献
