Abstract
-
The metal cofactors are essential for the function of many enzymes. The host restricts the metal acquisition of pathogens for
their immunity and the pathogens have evolved many ways to obtain metal ions for their survival and growth. Salmonella
enterica serovar Typhimurium also needs several metal cofactors for its survival, and manganese has been found to contribute
to Salmonella pathogenesis. Manganese helps Salmonella withstand oxidative and nitrosative stresses. In addition,
manganese affects glycolysis and the reductive TCA, which leads to the inhibition of energetic and biosynthetic metabolism.
Therefore, manganese homeostasis is crucial for full virulence of Salmonella. Here, we summarize the current information
about three importers and two exporters of manganese that have been identified in Salmonella. MntH, SitABCD, and ZupT
have been shown to participate in manganese uptake. mntH and sitABCD are upregulated by low manganese concentration,
oxidative stress, and host NRAMP1 level. mntH also contains a Mn2+-
dependent riboswitch in its 5′ UTR. Regulation of
zupT expression requires further investigation. MntP and YiiP have been identified as manganese efflux proteins. mntP is
transcr!ptionally activated by MntR at high manganese levels and repressed its activity by MntS at low manganese levels.
Regulation of yiiP requires further analysis, but it has been shown that yiiP expression is not dependent on MntS. Besides
these five transporters, there might be additional transporters that need to be identified.

Abstract
-
C-Glycosides are an important type of natural product with
significant bioactivities, and the C-glycosidic bonds of C-glycosides
can be cleaved by several intestinal bacteria, as exemplified
by the human faeces-derived puerarin-degrading bacterium
Dorea strain PUE. However, glycoside hydrolases in
these bacteria, which may be involved in the C-glycosidic bond
cleavage of C-glycosides, remain largely unknown. In this
study, the genomes of the closest phylogenetic neighbours of
five puerarin-degrading intestinal bacteria (including Dorea
strain PUE) were retrieved, and the protein-coding genes in
the genomes were subjected to sequence similarity network
(SSN) analysis. Only four clusters of genes were annotated as
glycoside hydrolases and observed in the genome of D. longicatena
DSM 13814T (the closest phylogenetic neighbour of
Dorea strain PUE); therefore, genes from D. longicatena DSM
13814T belonging to these clusters were selected to overexpress
recombinant proteins (CG1, CG2, CG3, and CG4) in
Escherichia coli BL21(DE3). In vitro assays indicated that
CG4 efficiently cleaved the O-glycosidic bond of daidzin and
showed moderate β-D-glucosidase and β-D-xylosidase activity.
CG2 showed weak activity in hydrolyzing daidzin and pNP-
β-D-fucopyranoside, while CG3 was identified as a highly
selective and efficient α-glycosidase. Interestingly, CG3 and
CG4 could be selectively inhibited by daidzein, explaining
their different performance in kinetic studies. Molecular docking
studies predicted the molecular determinants of CG2,
CG3, and CG4 in substrate selectivity and inhibition propensity.
The present study identified three novel and distinctive
glycoside hydrolases, highlighting the potential of SSN
in the discovery of novel enzymes from genomic data.

Abstract
-
Pleurotus pulmonarius, a member of the Pleurotaceae family
in Basidiomycota, is an edible, economically important mushroom
in most Asian countries. In this study, the complete
mitochondrial genomes (mtDNA) of three P. pulmonarius
strains – two monokaryotic commercial (J1-13 and ZA3) and
one wild (X1-15) – were sequenced and analyzed. In ZA3 and
X1-15, the mtDNA molecule was found to be a single circle of
68,305 bp and 73,435 bp, respectively. Both strains contain 14
core protein-coding genes and two ribosomal RNA (rRNA)
subunit genes. The ZA3 strain has 22 transfer RNA (tRNA)
genes and nine introns: eight in cytochrome c oxidase subunit
1 (cox1), and one in the rRNA large subunit (rnl). Monokaryotic
J1-13 and ZA3 mtDNAs were found to be similar
in their structure. However, the wild strain X1-15 contains
25 tRNA genes and only seven introns in cox1. Open reading
frames (ORFs) of ZA3/J1-13 and X1-15 encode LAGLIDADG,
ribosomal protein S3, and DNA polymerase II. In addition,
mtDNA inheritance in J1-13, ZA3, and X1-15 was also studied.
Results
showed that the mtDNA inheritance pattern was uniparental
and closely related to dikaryotic hyphal location with
respect to the parent. Results also show that mtDNA inheritance
is influenced by both the parental nuclear genome and
mitogenome in the zone of contact between two compatible
parents. In summary, this analysis provides valuable information
and a basis for further studies to improve our understanding
of the inheritance of fungal mtDNA.

Abstract
-
A lectin gene (plectin) with a high level of expression was previously
identified by comparative transcriptome analysis of
Pleurotus ostreatus. In this study, we cloned a 733-bp DNA
fragment from the start codon of the plectin gene. Sequence
analysis showed that the plectin promoter (Plp) region contained
several eukaryotic transcription factor binding motifs,
such as the TATA-box, four possible CAAT-box, light responsiveness
motifs and MeJA-responsiveness motifs. To determine
whether the Plp promoter was a light-regulated promoter,
we constructed an expression vector with the fused
egfp-hph fragment under the control of the Plp promoter and
transformed P. ostreatus mycelia via Agrobacterium tumefaciens.
PCR and Southern blot analyses confirmed the Plpegfp-
hph fragment was integrated into the chromosomal DNA
of transformants. qRT-PCR, egfp visualization, and intracellular
egfp determination experiments showed the Plp promoter
could be a light-induced promoter that may be suitable
for P. ostreatus genetic engineering. This study lays the foundation
for gene homologous expression in P. ostreatus.

Abstract
-
Fungus-growing ants share a complex symbiosis with microbes,
including fungal mutualists, antibiotic-producing bacteria,
and fungal pathogens. The bacterial communities associated
with this symbiosis are poorly understood but likely
play important roles in maintaining the health and function
of fungal gardens. We studied bacterial communities in gardens
of two Apterostigma species, A. dentigerum, and A. pilosum,
using next-generation sequencing to evaluate differences
between the two ant species, their veiled and no-veiled
fungal garden types, and across three collection locations.
We also compared different parts of nests to test for homogeneity
within nests. Enterobacteriaceae dominated gardens
of both species and common OTUs were shared across both
species and nest types. However, differences in community
diversity were detected between ant species, and in the communities
of A. dentigerum veiled and no-veiled nests within
sites. Apterostigma pilosum had a higher proportion of Phyllobacteriaceae
and differed from A. dentigerum in the proportions
of members of the order Clostridiales. Within A. dentigerum,
nests with veiled and no-veiled fungus gardens had
similar taxonomic profiles but differed in the relative abundance
of some groups, with veiled gardens having more Rhodospirillaceae
and Hyphomicrobiaceae, and no-veiled having
more Xanthomonadaceae and certain genera in the Enterobacteriaceae
C. However, bacterial communities in Apterostigma
fungal gardens are highly conserved and resemble
those of the nests of other attine ants with dominant taxa likely
playing a role in biomass degradation and defense. Further
work is required to understand and explain how bacterial
community composition of fungus-growing nests is maintained.

Abstract
-
The objective of this study was to evaluate the potential of
eight fungal isolates obtained from soils in rice crops for straw
degradation in situ. From the initial eight isolates, Pleurotus
ostreatus T1.1 and Penicillium sp. HC1 were selected for further
characterization based on qualitative cellulolytic enzyme
production and capacity to use rice straw as a sole carbon
source. Subsequently, cellulolytic, xylanolytic, and lignolytic
(Pleurotus ostreatus) activity on carboxymethyl cellulose,
oat xylan, and rice straw with different nitrogen sources was
evaluated. From the results obtained it was concluded both
isolates are capable to produce enzymes necessary for rice
straw degradation. However, their production is dependent
upon carbon and nitrogen source. Last, it was established
that Pleurotus ostreatus T1.1 and Penicillium sp. HC1 capability
to colonize and mineralize rice straw, in mono-and
co-culture, without affecting nitrogen soil content.

Abstract
-
The type VI secretion system (T6SS) is a widespread and versatile protein secretion system found in most Gram- negative bacteria. Studies of T6SS have mainly focused on its role in virulence toward host cells and inter-bacterial inter-actions, but studies have also shown that T6SS4 in Yersinia pseudotuberculosis participates in the acquisition of zinc ions to alleviate the accumulation of hydroxyl radicals induced by multiple stressors. Here, by comparing the gene expression patterns of wild-type and zntR mutant Y. pseudotubercu-losis cells using RNA-seq analysis, T6SS4 and 17 other bio-logical processes were found to be regulated by ZntR. T6SS4 was positively regulated by ZntR in Y. pseudotuberculosis, and further investigation demonstrated that ZntR regulates T6SS4 by directly binding to its promoter region. T6SS4 ex-pression is regulated by zinc via ZntR, which maintains in-tracellular zinc homeostasis and controls the concentration of reactive oxygen species to prevent bacterial death under oxidative stress. This study provides new insights into the regulation of T6SS4 by a zinc-dependent transcriptional regu-lator, and it provides a foundation for further investigation of the mechanism of zinc transport by T6SS.

Abstract
-
Sanghuang is a medicinal mushroom that has gained particular
attention in Korea. It has been extensively studied for
the past few decades as a natural immune booster and cancer
suppressor. Although the scientific name, Phellinus linteus,
has been commonly used to refer to the sanghuang mushroom,
the species identity of sanghuang has been called into question
due to the ambiguity of its circumscription and the inadequacy
of morphological distinctions within allied species. Because
the species concept of sanghuang has been elucidated by recent
molecular phylogenetic studies, it has become necessary
to clarify the taxonomic positions of sanghuang strains extensively
utilized in Korea. We conducted a phylogenetic analysis
of 74 strains belonging to the P. linteus-baumii complex based
on ITS nrDNA sequences. Parental stains of sanghuang varieties
formally registered in the Korea Seed & Variety Service,
including ASI 26046 (Corea sanghuang), 26114 (Boolro), and
26115 (HK 1-ho) were grouped with Sanghuangporus sanghuang
instead of P. linteus in the inferred phylogeny.

Abstract
-
RpoS (σS), the stationary phase/stress σ factor, controls the
expression of a large number of genes involved in cellular
responses to a variety of stresses. However, the role of RpoS
appears to differ in different bacteria. While RpoS is an important
regulator of flagellum biosynthesis, it is associated
with biofilm development in Edwardsiella tarda. Biofilms
are dense communities formed by bacteria and are important
for microbe survival under unfavorable conditions. The type
VI secretion system (T6SS) discovered recently is reportedly
associated with several phenotypes, ranging from biofilm
formation to stress sensing. For example, Vibrio anguillarum
T6SS was proposed to serve as a sensor for extracytoplasmic
signals and modulates RpoS expression and stress response.
In this study, we investigated the physiological roles of RpoS
in Yersinia pseudotuberculosis, including bacterial survival
under stress conditions, flagella formation, biofilm development
and T6SS expression. We found that RpoS is important
in resistance to multiple stressors–including H2O2, acid,
osmotic and heat shock–in Y. pseudotuberculosis. In addition,
our study showed that RpoS not only modulates the expression
of T6SS but also regulates flagellum formation by
positively controlling the flagellar master regulatory gene
flhDC, and affects the formation of biofilm on Caenorhabditis
elegans by regulating the synthesis of exopolysaccharides.
Taken together, these results show that RpoS plays a central
role in cell fitness under several adverse conditions in Y.
pseudotuberculosis.

Abstract
-
The study of oceanic microbial communities is crucial for
our understanding of the role of microbes in terms of biomass,
diversity and ecosystem function. In this study, 16S
rRNA gene tag pyrosequencing was used to investigate
change in bacterial community structure between summer
and winter water masses from Gosung Bay in the South Sea
of Korea and Chuuk in Micronesia, located in the North
and South Pacific Oceans, respectively. Summer and winter
sampling from each water mass revealed highly diverse bacterial
communities, containing ~900 Operational Taxonomic
Units (OTUs). The microbial distribution and highly heterogeneous
composition observed at both sampling sites were
different from those of most macroorganisms. The bacterial
communities in the seawater at both sites were most abundant
in Proteobacteria during the summer in Gosung and
in Bacterioidetes during the winter. The proportion of Cyanobacteria
was higher in summer than in winter in Chuuk
and similar in Gosung. Additionally, the microbial community
during summer in Gosung was significantly different
from other communities observed based on the unweighted
UniFrac distance. These data suggest that in both oceanic
areas sampled, the bacterial communities had distinct distribution
patterns with spatially- and temporally-heterogeneous
distributions.

Abstract
-
Occupational and environmental pulmonary exposure to carbon nanotubes (CNT) is considered to be a health risk with a very low threshold of tolerance as determined by the United States Center for Disease Control. Immortalized airway epithelial cells exposed to CNTs show a diverse range of effects including reduced viability, impaired proliferation, and elevated reactive oxygen species generation. Additionally, CNTs inhibit internalization of targets in multiple macrophage cell lines. Mice and rats exposed to CNTs often develop pulmonary granulomas and fibrosis. Furthermore, CNTs have immunomodulatory properties in these animal models. CNTs themselves are proinflammatory and can exacerbate the allergic response. However, CNTs may also be immunosuppressive, both locally and systemically. Studies that examined the relationship of CNT exposure prior to pulmonary infection have reached different conclusions. In some cases, pre-exposure either had no effect or enhanced clearance of infections while other studies showed CNTs inhibited clearance. Interestingly, most studies exploring this relationship use pathogens which are not considered primary pulmonary pathogens. Moreover, harmony across studies is difficult as different types of CNTs have dissimilar biological effects. We used Pseudomonas aeruginosa as model pathogen to study how helical multi-walled carbon nanotubes (HCNTs) affected internalization and clearance of the pulmonary pathogen. The results showed that, although HCNTs can inhibit internalization through multiple processes, bacterial clearance was not altered, which was attributed to an enhanced inflammatory response caused by pre-exposure to HCNTs. We compare and contrast our findings in relation to other studies to gauge the modulation of pulmonary immune response by CNTs.

Abstract
-
High-throughput DNA sequencing technologies have revolutionized
the study of microbial ecology. Massive sequencing
of PCR amplicons of the 16S rRNA gene has been
widely used to understand the microbial community structure
of a variety of environmental samples. The resulting
sequencing reads are clustered into operational taxonomic
units that are then used to calculate various statistical indices
that represent the degree of species diversity in a given
sample. Several algorithms have been developed to perform
this task, but they tend to produce different outcomes.
Herein, we propose a novel sequence clustering algorithm,
namely Taxonomy-Based Clustering (TBC). This algorithm
incorporates the basic concept of prokaryotic taxonomy in
which only comparisons to the type strain are made and used
to form species while omitting full-scale multiple sequence
alignment. The clustering quality of the proposed method was
compared with those of MOTHUR, BLASTClust, ESPRITTree,
CD-HIT, and UCLUST. A comprehensive comparison
using three different experimental datasets produced by
pyrosequencing demonstrated that the clustering obtained
using TBC is comparable to those obtained using MOTHUR
and ESPRIT-Tree and is computationally efficient. The program
was written in JAVA and is available from http://sw.

Abstract
-
Vegetative mycelia of Pleurotus ostreatus were differentiated into primordia and subsequently into fruit bodies in synthetic sucrose-asparagine medium when exposed to light at low temperature. During photomorphogenesis, L-ascorbic acid-like substances called reductones were produced. L-Ascorbic acid, D-erythroascorbic acid, 5-O-(α-D-glucopyranosyl)-D-erythroascorbic acid, 5-O-(α-D-xylopyranosyl)-D-erythroascorbic acid, 5-methyl-5-O-(α-D-glucopyranosyl)-D-erythroascorbic acid and 5-methyl-5-O-(α-D-xylopyranosyl)-D-erythroascorbic
acid were accumulated initially in the illuminated mycelia before the initiation of fruiting. The content of glycosides of erythroascorbic acid and their methylated compounds increased again in the primordia and the fruit bodies. Exogenous L-ascorbic acid induced the formation of primordia from the mycelia in the dark in a dose-dependent manner. Thus, this suggests that these reductones might play a role in mediating the light stimulus in photomorphogenesis.

Abstract
-
A novel heme-containing ascorbate oxidase isolated from oyster mushroom, Pleurotus ostreatus, catalyzes oxidation of ascorbic acid (Kim et al., 1996). In this report, we describe the identification of intracellular substrates of the enzyme in the mushroom. Six compounds, which can serve as substrate of the heme-containing ascorbate oxidase, were identified as L-ascorbic acid, D-erythroascorbic acid, 5-O-(α-D-glucopyranosyl)-D-erythroascorbic acid, 5-O-(α-D-xylopyranosyl)-D-erythroascorbic acid, 5-methyl-5-O-(α-D-glucopyranosyl)-D-erythroascorbic acid, and 5-methyl-5-O-(α-D-xylopyranosyl)-D-erythroascorbic acid. All of the compounds were oxidized at a significant rate by the heme-containing ascorbate oxidase. Oxidation of the compounds produced equimolar amounts of hydrogen peroxide per mole of substrate.

Abstract
-
Pleurotus ostreatus is a widely cultivated white-rot fungus. Owing to its considerable enzymatic versatility P. ostreatus has become the focus of increasing attention for its possible utility in biobleaching and bioremediation applications. Interactions between microorganisms can be an important factor in those processes. In this study, we describe the presence of a bacterial species associated with P. ostreatus strain G2. This bacterial species grew slowly (approximately 30 days) in theliquid and semi-solid media tested. When P. ostreatus was inoculated in solid media containing Tween 80 or Tween 20, bacterial microcolonies were detected proximal to the fungal colonies, and the relevant bacterium was identified via the analysis of a partial 16S rDNA sequence; it was
determined to belong to the Burkholderia cepacia complex, but was not closely related to other fungus-isolated Burkholderiaceae. New specific primers were designed, and confirmed the presence of in vitro P. ostreatus cultures. This is the first time that a bacterial species belonging to the B. cepacia complex has been found associated with P. ostreatus.
