Electrophysiological membrane characteristics of the salt tolerant Plantago maritima and the salt sensitive Plantago media

Plasmid pUCD607 was mobilized into the biocontrol agent Enterobacter cloacae strain E6 by conjugation and the resultant strain, E6(pUCD607), was bioluminescent. Biocontrol of Pythium ultimum by E6(pUCD607) was similar to that of the parent strain, E6. The location of E6(pUCD607) in the soil and in the rhizosphere of lettuce was readily determined by pressing agar medium against plant roots in a root box, allowing the bacteria to grow overnight on the medium, and detecting the presence of bioluminescence by autophotography. There was a positive, linear correlation between population sizes determined by dilution plating and the quantity of light emitted due to bioluminescence. However, both the intercept and slope of this line varied among experiments possibly due to the differing physiological states of cells recovered from soils. The amount of light emitted by the bioluminescent strain E6(pUCD607) was not quantitative. This technique is useful for qualitative determinations of populations and for photographically locating bacteria.     

Evaluation of monoammonium phosphate and bacterial strains to increase tree growth and fruit yield in apple replant problem soil

The long-term effects of biological agents alone and in combination with monoammonium phosphate on tree growth and fruit production of apple trees planted on apple replant soil was studied for five years. Application of monoammonium phosphate (MAP) in the year of planting increased shoot growth, cross-sectional trunk area and fruit yield of McIntosh on M.26 rootstock for the first two years. The application of bacterial agents alone were not effective in increasing young tree growth except BACT-1 in 1987. None of the bacterial agents increased fruit yield when applied alone. The addition of certain bacterial agents to MAP application increased young tree growth in various years. The combination of bacterial agent B-10 and MAP reduced young tree growth and yield compared with the MAP treatment alone. These results suggest that the application of MAP alone may be sufficient to alleviate the replant problem and the addition of BACT-1, EBW-4 or B8 bacterial agents to this treatment may be beneficial to increase tree growth in some years.

凤眼莲根分泌物氨基酸组分对根际肠杆菌属F2细菌的趋化作用

凤眼莲(Eichhornia crassipes)的根分泌物中含有Met等多种氨基酸,其中Met、GABA、Gly、Ala、Asp、Ser、Val和Leu(10^-7～10^-2mol·L^-1)均对凤眼莲的根际肠杆菌属F₂(Enterobacter sp.F₂)细菌有强烈的正趋化作用;Glu、Thr和His(10^-7～10^-3mol·L^-1)也对该菌有一定的正趋化作用;而Lys、Cys、Arg、Tyr、Pro、Asn、Gln、Ile、Phe和Typ则对该菌表现出一定的负趋化作用.对细菌的正趋化作用存在一个趋化物的最适浓度范围.具有正趋化作用的氨基酸在凤眼莲根际的浓度都较高,而具有负趋化作用的浓度则较低,这正是凤眼莲与该根际细菌结合为根际微生态系统的原因之一.

Imipenem and expression of multidrug efflux pump in Enterobacter aerogenes

Imipenem is often used to treat intensive care unit patients infected by Enterobacter aerogenes, but it is leading to an increasing number of antibiotic resistant strains. Clinical isolates and imipenem resistant variants presented a high level of resistance to beta-lactam antibiotic group and to chemically unrelated drugs. We report here that imipenem selects strains which contain active efflux pumps ejecting various unrelated antibiotics including quinolones, tetracycline, and chloramphenicol. An increase of AcrA, an efflux pump component, was observed in the imipenem resistant variants. The overexpression of marA, involved in the genetic control of membrane permeability via porin and efflux pump expression, indicated the activation of the resistance genetic cascade in imipenem resistant variants.
