Abstract

-
Production of medium chain length polyhydroxyalkanoate (mcl-PHA) was attempted using Pseudomonas gessardii NIBRBAC000509957, which was isolated from Sunchang, Jeollabuk-do, Republic of Korea (35°24'27.7"N, 127°09'13.0"E) and effectively utilized acetate and formate as carbon sources. We first evaluated the utilization of acetate as a carbon source, revealing optimal growth at 5 g/L acetate. Then, formate was supplied to the acetate minimal medium as a carbon source to enhance cell growth. After overexpressing the acetate and formate assimilation pathway enzymes, this strain grew at a significantly higher rate in the medium. As this strain naturally produces PHA, it was further engineered metabolically to enhance mcl-PHA production. The engineered strain produced 0.40 g/L of mcl-PHA with a biomass content of 30.43% in fed-batch fermentation.
Overall, this strain can be further developed to convert acetate and formate into valuable products.

Glycyrrhizic acid, glycyrrhetinic acid, and their oxo, ester, lactone, and other derivatives, are known for their anti-inflammatory,
anti-oxidant, and hypoglycemic pharmacological activities. In this study, chryseno[2,1-c]oxepin-12-carboxylic acid
(MG) was first biosynthesized from glycyrrhizic acid through sequential hydrolysis, oxidation, and esterification using
Aspergillus terreus TMZ05-2, providing a novel in vitro biosynthetic pathway for glycyrrhizic acid derivatives. Assessing
the influence of fermentation conditions and variation of strains during culture under stress-induction strategies enhanced
the final molar yield to 88.3% (5 g/L glycyrrhizic acid). CCK8 assays showed no cytotoxicity and good cell proliferation,
and anti-inflammatory experiments demonstrated strong inhibition of NO release (36.3%, low-dose MG vs. model), transcriptional
downregulation of classical effective cellular factors tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α; 72.2%, low-dose MG vs.
model), interleukin-6 (IL-6; 58.3%, low-dose MG vs. model) and interleukin-1β (IL-1β; 76.4%, low-dose MG vs. model),
and decreased abundance of P-IKK-α, P-IKB-α, and P-P65 proteins, thereby alleviating inflammatory responses through
the NF-κB pathway in LPS-induced RAW264.7 cells. The findings provide a reference for the biosynthesis of lactone compounds
from medicinal plants.

Abstract

Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) exhibit strong antibacterial activity and do not easily induce drug resistance; however, the
poor stability and biocompatibility in solution limit their widespread application. In this study, AgNPs were modified with
Polygonatum sibiricum Polysaccharide (PSP) to synthesize PSP@AgNPs with good stability, biocompatibility, and antibacterial
activity. When PSP@AgNP synthesis was performed under a reaction time of 70 min, a reaction temperature of 35 °C,
and an AgNO3-
to-PSP volume ratio of 1:1, the synthesized PSP@AgNPs were more regular and uniform than AgNPs, and
their particle size was around 10 nm. PSP@AgNPs exhibited lower cytotoxicity and hemolysis, and stronger bacteriostatic
activity. PSP@AgNPs damage the integrity and internal structure of cells, resulting in the leakage of intracellular nucleic
acids and proteins. The rate of cell membrane damage in Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus treated with PSP@
AgNPs increased by 38.52% and 43.75%, respectively, compared with that of AgNPs. PSP@AgNPs inhibit the activities
of key enzymes related to antioxidant, energy and substance metabolism in cells. The inhibitory effects on the activities of
superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), adenosine triphosphate enzyme (ATPase), malate dehydrogenase (MDH),
and succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) in E. coli and S. aureus cells were significantly higher than those of AgNPs. In addition,
compared with AgNPs, PSP@AgNPs promote faster healing of infected wounds. Therefore, PSP@AgNPs represent
potential antibacterial agents against wound infections.

Abstract
PDF

The global public health burden of bacterial antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is intensified by Gram-negative bacteria,
which have an additional membrane, the outer membrane (OM), outside of the peptidoglycan (PG) cell wall. Bacterial twocomponent
systems (TCSs) aid in maintaining envelope integrity through a phosphorylation cascade by controlling gene
expression through sensor kinases and response regulators. In Escherichia coli, the major TCSs defending cells from envelope
stress and adaptation are Rcs and Cpx, which are aided by OM lipoproteins RcsF and NlpE as sensors, respectively. In
this review, we focus on these two OM sensors. β-Barrel assembly machinery (BAM) inserts transmembrane OM proteins
(OMPs) into the OM. BAM co-assembles RcsF, the Rcs sensor, with OMPs, forming the RcsF-OMP complex. Researchers
have presented two models for stress sensing in the Rcs pathway. The first model suggests that LPS perturbation stress
disassembles the RcsF-OMP complex, freeing RcsF to activate Rcs. The second model proposes that BAM cannot assemble
RcsF into OMPs when the OM or PG is under specific stresses, and thus, the unassembled RcsF activates Rcs. These two
models may not be mutually exclusive. Here, we evaluate these two models critically in order to elucidate the stress sensing
mechanism. NlpE, the Cpx sensor, has an N-terminal (NTD) and a C-terminal domain (CTD). A defect in lipoprotein trafficking
results
in NlpE retention in the inner membrane, provoking the Cpx response. Signaling requires the NlpE NTD, but
not the NlpE CTD; however, OM-anchored NlpE senses adherence to a hydrophobic surface, with the NlpE CTD playing
a key role in this function.

Antibiotic treatment failure threatens our ability to control bacterial infections that can cause chronic diseases. Persister bacteria
are a subpopulation of physiological variants that becomes highly tolerant to antibiotics. Membrane proteins play crucial
roles in all living organisms to regulate cellular physiology. Although a diverse membrane component involved in persistence
can result in antibiotic treatment failure, the regulations of antibiotic persistence by membrane proteins has not been fully
understood. In this review, we summarize the recent advances in our understanding with regards to membrane proteins in
Gram-negative bacteria as a regulator for antibiotic persistence, highlighting various physiological mechanisms in bacteria.

Transposon mutant libraries are an important resource to
study bacterial metabolism and pathogenesis. The fitness
analysis of mutants in the libraries under various growth conditions
provides important clues to study the physiology and
biogenesis of structural components of a bacterial cell. A transposon
library in conjunction with next-generation sequencing
techniques, collectively named transposon sequencing (Tnseq),
enables high-throughput genome profiling and synthetic
lethality analysis. Tn-seq has also been used to identify essential
genes and to study the mode of action of antibacterials.
To construct a high-density transposon mutant library, an efficient
delivery system for transposition in a model bacterium
is essential. Here, I describe a detailed protocol for generating
a high-density phage-based transposon mutant library in a
Staphylococcus aureus strain, and this protocol is readily applicable
to other S. aureus strains including USA300 and MW2.

Three major proteases, elastase B (LasB), protease IV (PIV),
and elastase A (LasA) expressed in Pseudomonas aeruginosa
play important roles in infections and pathogeneses. These
are activated by a proteolytic cascade initiated by the activation
of LasB. In this study, we investigated whether LasB
could be inhibited using its propeptide (LasBpp). Although
LasA and PIV were inhibited by their propeptides, LasB was
not inhibited by purified LasBpp because LasB degraded LasBpp.
To address this problem, mutant LasBpp variants were constructed
to obtain a mutant LasBpp resistant to LasB degradation.
A C-terminal deletion series of LasBpp was tested in
vivo, and two positive candidates, T2 and T2-1, were selected.
However, both caused growth retardation and were unstably
expressed in vivo. Since deleting the C-terminal end of LasBpp
significantly affected its stable expression, substitution mutations
were introduced at the two amino acids near the
truncation site of T2-1. The resulting mutants, LasBppE172D,
LasBppG173A, and LasBppE172DG173A, significantly diminished LasB
activity when overexpressed in vivo and were stably expressed
in MW1, a quorum sensing mutant that does not produce
LasB. In vitro analysis showed that purified LasBppE172DG173A
inhibited LasB activity to a small extent. Summarizing, Cterminal
modification of LasBpp profoundly affected the stable
expression of LasBpp, and little enhanced the ability of
LasBpp to resist degradation by LasB.

Abstract

The disruption of the human gut microbiota has been linked
to host health conditions, including various diseases. However,
no reliable index for measuring and predicting a healthy microbiome
is currently available. Here, the sequencing data of
1,663 Koreans were obtained from three independent studies.
Furthermore, we pooled 3,490 samples from public databases
and analyzed a total of 5,153 fecal samples. First, we analyzed
Korean gut microbiome covariates to determine the influence
of lifestyle on variation in the gut microbiota. Next, patterns
of microbiota variations across geographical locations and
disease statuses were confirmed using a global cohort and disease
data. Based on comprehensive comparative analysis, we
were able to define three enterotypes among Korean cohorts,
namely, Prevotella type, Bacteroides type, and outlier type.
By a thorough categorization of dysbiosis and the evaluation
of microbial characteristics using multiple datasets, we identified
a wide spectrum of accuracy levels in classifying health
and disease states. Using the observed microbiome patterns,
we devised an index named the gut microbiome index (GMI)
that could consistently predict health conditions from human
gut microbiome data. Compared to ecological metrics, the
microbial marker index, and machine learning approaches,
GMI distinguished between healthy and non-healthy individuals
with a higher accuracy across various datasets. Thus,
this study proposes a potential index to measure health status
of gut microbiome that is verified from multiethnic data
of various diseases, and we expect this model to facilitate further
clinical application of gut microbiota data in future.

Abstract

A critical obstacle to the successful treatment of colorectal
cancer (CRC) is chemoresistance. Chemoresistant CRC cells
contribute to treatment failure by providing a mechanism
of drug lethargy and modifying chemoresistance-associated
molecules. The gut microbiota provide prophylactic and therapeutic
effects by targeting CRC through anticancer mechanisms.
Among them, Lactobacillus plantarum contributes
to the health of the host and is clinically effective in treating
CRC. This study confirmed that 5-fluorouracil (5-FU)-resistant
CRC HCT116 (HCT116/5FUR) cells acquired butyrateinsensitive
properties. To date, the relationship between 5-
FU-resistant CRC and butyrate resistance has not been elucidated.
Here, we demonstrated that the acquisition of butyrate
resistance in HCT116/5FUR cells was strongly correlated
with the inhibition of the expression and function of
SMCT1, a major transporter of butyrate in colonocytes. L.
plantarum-cultured cell-free supernatant (LP) restored the
functional expression of SMCT1 in HCT116/5FUR cells, leading
to butyrate-induced antiproliferative effect and apoptosis.
These results suggest that LP has a synergistic effect on the
SMCT1/butyrate-mediated tumor suppressor function and
is a potential chemosensitizer to overcome dual 5-FU and butyrate
resistance in HCT116 cells.

Abstract
PDF
-
Streptococcus gordonii, a Gram-positive commensal bacterium,
is an opportunistic pathogen closely related to initiation
and progression of various oral diseases, such as periodontitis
and dental caries. Its biofilm formation is linked
with the development of such diseases by enhanced resistance
against antimicrobial treatment or host immunity. In the
present study, we investigated the effect of short-chain fatty
acids (SCFAs) on the biofilm formation of S. gordonii. SCFAs,
including sodium acetate (NaA), sodium propionate (NaP),
and sodium butyrate (NaB), showed an effective inhibitory
activity on the biofilm formation of S. gordonii without reduction
in bacterial growth. SCFAs suppressed S. gordonii
biofilm formation at early time points whereas SCFAs did
not affect its preformed biofilm. A quorum-sensing system
mediated by competence-stimulating peptide (CSP) is known
to regulate biofilm formation of streptococci. Interestingly,
SCFAs substantially decreased mRNA expression of comD
and comE, which are CSP-sensor and its response regulator
responsible for CSP pathway, respectively. Although S. gordonii
biofilm formation was enhanced by exogenous synthetic
CSP treatment, such effect was not observed in the
presence of SCFAs. Collectively, these results suggest that
SCFAs have an anti-biofilm activity on S. gordonii through
inhibiting comD and comE expression which results in negative
regulation of CSP quorum-sensing system. SCFAs could
be an effective anti-biofilm agent against S. gordonii for the
prevention of oral diseases.

Abstract

Flow cytometry is a promising tool used to identify the phenotypic
features of bacterial communities in aquatic ecosystems
by measuring the physical and chemical properties of
cells based on their light scattering behavior and fluorescence.
Compared to molecular or culture-based approaches, flow
cytometry is suitable for the online monitoring of microbial
water quality because of its relatively simple sample preparation
process, rapid analysis time, and high-resolution phenotypic
data. Advanced statistical techniques (e.g., denoising
and binning) can be utilized to successfully calculate phenotypic
diversity by processing the scatter data obtained from
flow cytometry. These phenotypic diversities were well correlated
with taxonomic-based diversity computed using nextgeneration
16S RNA gene sequencing. The protocol provided
in this paper should be a useful guide for a fast and reliable
flow cytometric monitoring of bacterial phenotypic diversity
in aquatic ecosystems.

The study of the human gut microbiome is essential in microbiology
and infectious diseases as specific alterations in the
gut microbiome might be associated with various pathologies,
such as chronic inflammatory disease, intestinal infection
and colorectal cancer. To identify such dysregulations,
several strategies are being used to create a repertoire of the
microorganisms composing the human gut microbiome. In
this study, we used the “microscomics” approach, which consists
of creating an ultrastructural repertoire of all the cell-like
objects composing stool samples from healthy donors using
transmission electron microscopy (TEM). We used TEM to
screen ultrathin sections of 8 resin-embedded stool samples.
After exploring hundreds of micrographs, we managed to
elaborate ultrastructural categories based on morphological
criteria or features. This approach explained many inconsistencies
observed with other techniques, such as metagenomics
and culturomics. We highlighted the value of our cultureindependent
approach by comparing our microscopic images
to those of cultured bacteria and those reported in the
literature. This study helped to detect “minimicrobes” Candidate
Phyla Radiation (CPR) for the first time in human
stool samples. This “microscomics” approach is non-exhaustive
but complements already existing approaches and adds
important data to the puzzle of the microbiota.

Abstract

Selenium (Se) is an essential trace element for many organisms,
which is required in the biosynthesis of proteins with
selenocysteine, tRNAs with selenouridine, and certain enzymes
with Se as a cofactor. Recent large-scale metagenomics
projects provide a unique opportunity for studying the global
trends of Se utilization in marine environments. Here,
we analyzed samples from different marine microbial communities,
revealed by the Tara Oceans project, to characterize
the Se utilization traits. We found that the selenophosphate
synthetase gene, which defines the overall Se utilization, and
Se utilization traits are present in all samples. Regions with
samples rich and poor in Se utilization traits were categorized.
From the analysis of environmental factors, the mesopelagic
zone and high temperature (> 15°C) of water are favorable,
while geographical location has little influence on
Se utilization. All Se utilization traits showed a relatively independent
occurrence. The taxonomic classification of Se
traits shows that most of the sequences corresponding to Se
utilization traits belong to the phylum Proteobacteria. Overall,
our study provides useful insights into the general features of
Se utilization in ocean samples and may help to understand
the evolutionary dynamics of Se utilization in different marine
environments.

The Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) belongs to the Alphavirus
genus of Togaviridae family and contains a positive-sense
single stranded RNA genome. Infection by this virus mainly
causes sudden high fever, rashes, headache, and severe joint
pain that can last for several months or years. CHIKV, a mosquito-
borne arbovirus, is considered a re-emerging pathogen
that has become one of the most pressing global health
concerns due to a rapid increase in epidemics. Because handling
of CHIKV is restricted to Biosafety Level 3 (BSL-3) facilities,
the evaluation of prophylactic vaccines or antivirals
has been substantially hampered. In this study, we first identified
the whole structural polyprotein sequence of a CHIKV
strain isolated in South Korea (KNIH/2009/77). Phylogenetic
analysis showed that this sequence clustered within the East/
Central/South African CHIKV genotype. Using this sequence
information, we constructed a CHIKV-pseudotyped lentivirus
expressing the structural polyprotein of the Korean
CHIKV isolate (CHIKVpseudo) and dual reporter genes of
green fluorescence protein and luciferase. We then developed
a pseudovirus-based neutralization assay (PBNA) using
CHIKVpseudo. Results from this assay compared to those
from the conventional plaque reduction neutralization test
showed that our PBNA was a reliable and rapid method to
evaluate the efficacy of neutralizing antibodies. More importantly,
the neutralizing activities of human sera from CHIKVinfected
individuals were quantitated by PBNA using CHIKVpseudo.
Taken together, these results suggest that our PBNA
for CHIKV may serve as a useful and safe method for testing
the neutralizing activity of antibodies against CHIKV
in BSL-2 facilities.

A Gram-stain-negative, strictly aerobic, marine bacterium,
designated GH2-2T, was isolated from a rhizosphere mudflat
of a halophyte (Carex scabrifolia) in Gangwha Island,
the Republic of Korea. The cells of the organism were oxidase-
positive, catalase-positive, flagellated, short rods that
grew at 10–40°C, pH 4–10, and 0–13% (w/v) NaCl. The predominant
ubiquinone was Q-10. The major polar lipids were
phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine, and phosphatidylglycerol.
The major fatty acid is C18:1. Phylogenetic
analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that the
novel isolate formed an independent lineage at the base of
the radiation encompassing members of the genus Thioclava,
except for Thioclava arenosa. The closest relatives were T.
nitratireducens (96.03% sequence similarity) and T. dalianensis
(95.97%). The genome size and DNA G+C content
were 3.77 Mbp and 59.6 mol%, respectively. Phylogenomic
analysis supported phylogenetic distinctness based on 16S
rRNA gene sequences. Average nucleotide identity values
were 73.6–74.0% between the novel strain and members of
the genus Thioclava. On the basis of data obtained from a
polyphasic approach, the strain GH2-2T (= KCTC 62124T =
DSM 105743T) represents a novel species of a new genus for
which the name Hahyoungchilella caricis gen. nov., sp. nov. is
proposed. Moreover, the transfer of Thioclava arenosa Thongphrom
et al. 2017 to Pseudothioclava gen. nov. as Pseudothioclava
arenosa comb. nov. is also proposed. Finally, Thioclava
electrotropha Chang et al. 2018 is proposed to be a later
heterosynonym of Thioclava sediminum Liu et al. 2017.

Abstract
PDF
-
Staphylococcus aureus is the major pathogen leading to bovine
mastitis globally while livestock-associated methicillin
resistant S. aureus (LA-MRSA) has become a potential threat
to public health. MRSA from bovine mastitis is not common
but a methicillin susceptible S. aureus (MSSA) genotype, rpoB
sequence type (RST)10-2 (RST10-2), is prevalent in Korea.
To date, many genomic sequences from S. aureus have been
elucidated, but the complete genome sequences of RST10-2
MSSA from bovine mastitis has never been reported. In this
study, we determined the complete genome sequence of two
RST10-2 MSSA that differ from each other in staphylococcal
protein A and molecular prophage types [PMB64-1 (t2489/
mPPT0) and PMB81-4 (t127/mPPT1-2-3)] and conducted
a comparative genomics study. The genomic sequences of
PMB64-1 and PMB81-4 were more homologous to the representative
human RST10-2 strains (MSSA476, MW2 etc.)
compared to other RSTs. Most of them shared five common
pseudogenes, along with high amino acid identity of four
variable virulence genes that were identified in this study.
However, PMB64-1 and PMB81-4 acquired different strainspecific
pseudogenes and mobile genetic elements than the
human strains. The unique pseudogene profile and high identity
of the virulence genes were verified in RST10-2 field strains
from bovine mastitis. Thus, bovine mastitic RST10-2 MSSA
may have an evolutionary relationship with the human RST10-
2 community-associated (CA) MSSA and CA-MRSA strains
but may have adapted to cows.

Abstract

KatA is the major catalase required for hydrogen peroxide
(H2O2) resistance and acute virulence in Pseudomonas aeruginosa
PA14, whose transcription is governed by its dual
promoters (katAp1 and katAp2). Here, we observed that KatA
was not required for acute virulence in another wild type P.
aeruginosa strain, PAO1, but that PAO1 exhibited higher
KatA expression than PA14 did. This was in a good agreement
with the observation that PAO1 was more resistant
than PA14 to H2O2 as well as to the antibiotic peptide, polymyxin
B (PMB), supposed to involve reactive oxygen species
(ROS) for its antibacterial activity. The higher KatA expression
in PAO1 than in PA14 was attributed to both katAp1
and katAp2 transcripts, as assessed by S1 nuclease mapping.
In addition, it was confirmed that the PMB resistance is attributed
to both katAp1 and katAp2 in a complementary manner
in PA14 and PAO1, by exploiting the promoter mutants
for each -10 box (p1m, p2m, and p1p2m). These results provide
an evidence that the two widely used P. aeruginosa strains
display different virulence mechanisms associated with OxyR
and Anr, which need to be further characterized for better
understanding of the critical virulence pathways that may
differ in various P. aeruginosa strains.

Abstract

-
Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) was recently reported to be an
opsonin, enhancing the phagocytosis of group A Streptococcus
(GAS) by human monocytic leukemia U937 cells due to the
binding of LDL to some GAS strains. We postulated that LDL
might also promote the opsonophagocytosis of Pseudomonas
aeruginosa by U937 cells since this bacterium interacts with
LDL. In this study, P. aeruginosa (CMCC10104), U937 cells,
and human LDL were used in phagocytosis assays to test our
hypothesis. Escherichia coli strain BL21, which does not interact
with LDL, was used as a negative control. Colony counting
and fluorescence microscopy were used to determine the
bacterial quantity in the opsonophagocytosis assays. After
incubation of U937 cells and P. aeruginosa with LDL (100
μg/ml) for 15 and 30 min, phagocytosis was observed to be
increased by 22.71% and 32.90%, respectively, compared to
that seen in the LDL-free group. However, LDL did not increase
the phagocytosis of E. coli by U937 cells. In addition,
we identified CD36 as a major opsonin receptor on U937 cells,
since an anti-CD36 monoclonal antibody, but not an anti-
CD4 monoclonal antibody, almost completely abolished the
opsonophagocytosis of P. aeruginosa by U937 cells.

Abstract

-
Pseudomonas aeruginosa, an opportunistic human pathogen,
causes many biofilm-mediated chronic infections. In this study,
biofilm structures of various clinical strains of P. aeruginosa
isolated from hospitalized patients were examined and their
influence on the biofilm-dispersing effects of chemicals was
investigated. The clinical isolates formed structurally distinct
biofilms that could be classified into three different groups:
1) mushroom-like, 2) thin flat, and 3) thick flat structures.
A dispersion of these differently structured biofilms was induced
using two biofilm-dispersing agents, anthranilate and
sodium nitroprusside (SNP). Although both SNP and anthranilate
could disperse all types of biofilms, the thick flat biofilms
were dispersed less efficiently than the biofilms of other
structures. This suggests that biofilm-dispersing agents have
higher potency on the biofilms of porous structures than on
densely packed biofilms.

Abstract

The colonization of liquid surfaces as floating biofilms or pellicles
is a bacterial adaptation to optimally occupy the airliquid
(A-L) niche. In aerobic heterotrophs, pellicle formation
is beneficial for the utilization of O2 and nonpolar organic
compounds. Pseudomonas alkylphenolica KL28, an alkylphenol
degrader, forms flat circular pellicles that are 0.3–
0.5 mm in diameter. In this study, we first monitored the pellicle
developmental patterns of multicellular organization
from the initial settlement stage. The pellicles developed by
clonal growth and mutants for flagella and pilus formation
established normal pellicles. In contrast, the mutants of an
epm gene cluster for biosynthesis of alginate-like polymer
were incompetent in cell alignment for initial two-dimensional
(2D) pellicle growth, suggesting the role of the Epm
polymer as a structural scaffold for pellicle biofilms. Microscopic
observation revealed that the initial 2D growth transited
to multilayers by an accumulated self-produced extracellular
polymeric substance that may exert a constraint force.
Electron microscopy and confocal laser scanning microscopy
revealed that the fully matured pellicle structures were densly
packed with matrix-encased cells displaying distinct arrangements.
The cells on the surface of the pellicle were relatively
flat, and those inside were longitudinally cross-packed. The
extracellular polysaccharide stained by Congo red was denser
on the pellicle rim and a thin film was observed in the open
spaces, indicative of its role in pellicle flotation. Our results
demonstrate that P. alkylphenolica KL28 coordinately dictates
the cell arrangements of pellicle biofilms by the controlled
growth of constituent cells that accumulate extracellular
polymeric substances.

Antibiotic resistance is a global concern in public health.
Antibiotic-resistant clones can spread nationally, internationally,
and globally. This review considers representative
antibiotic-resistant Gram-negative bacterial clones–CTX-M-
15-producing ST131 in Escherichia coli, extended-spectrum
β-lactamase-producing ST11 and KPC-producing ST258 in
Klebsiella pneumoniae, IMP-6-producing, carbapenem-resistant
ST235 in Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and OXA-23-
producing global clone 2 in Acinetobacter baumannii–that
have disseminated worldwide, including in Korea. The findings
highlight the urgency for systematic monitoring and
international cooperation to suppress the emergence and
propagation of antibiotic resistance.

Abstract
PDF
-
Non-mammalian infection models have been developed over
the last two decades, which is a historic milestone to understand
the molecular basis of bacterial pathogenesis. They also
provide small-scale research platforms for identification of
virulence factors, screening for antibacterial hits, and evaluation
of antibacterial efficacy. The fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster
is one of the model hosts for a variety of bacterial
pathogens, in that the innate immunity pathways and tissue
physiology are highly similar to those in mammals. We here
present a relatively simple protocol to assess the key aspects
of the polymicrobial interaction in vivo between the human
opportunistic pathogens, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus
aureus, which is based on the systemic infection
by needle pricking at the dorsal thorax of the flies. After infection,
fly survival and bacteremia over time for both P.
aeruginosa and S. aureus within the infected flies can be monitored
as a measure of polymicrobial virulence potential.
The infection takes ~24 h including bacterial cultivation. Fly
survival and bacteremia are assessed using the infected flies
that are monitored up to ~60 h post-infection. These methods
can be used to identify presumable as well as unexpected phenotypes
during polymicrobial interaction between P. aeruginosa
and S. aureus mutants, regarding bacterial pathogenesis
and host immunity.

Abstract

-
Bacterial biofilms remain a persistent threat to human healthcare
due to their role in the development of antimicrobial
resistance. To combat multi-drug resistant pathogens, it is
crucial to enhance our understanding of not only the regulation
of biofilm formation, but also its contribution to bacterial
virulence. Iron acquisition lies at the crux of these two
subjects. In this review, we discuss the role of iron acquisition
in biofilm formation and how hosts impede this mechanism
to defend against pathogens. We also discuss recent findings
that suggest that biofilm formation can also have the reciprocal
effect, influencing siderophore production and iron
sequestration.

Abstract
PDF
-
The taxonomic position of a Gram-stain-negative, rod-shaped
bacterial strain, designated PI11T
, isolated from the rhizospheric
sediment of Phragmites karka was characterized using
a polyphasic approach. Strain PI11T could grow optimally at
1.0% NaCl concentration with pH 7.0 at 30°C and was positive
for oxidase and catalase but negative for hydrolysis of
starch, casein, and esculin ferric citrate. Phylogenetic analysis
of 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that the strain
PI11T belonged to the genus Pseudomonas sharing the highest
sequence similarities with Pseudomonas indoloxydans JCM
14246T (99.72%), followed by, Pseudomonas oleovorans subsp.
oleovorans DSM 1045T (99.29%), Pseudomonas toyotomiensis
JCM 15604T (99.15%), Pseudomonas chengduensis DSM
26382T (99.08%), Pseudomonas oleovorans subsp. lubricantis
DSM 21016T (99.08%), and Pseudomonas alcaliphila JCM
10630T (99.01%). Experimental DNA-DNA relatedness between
strain PI11T and P. indoloxydans JCM 14246T was 49.4%.
The draft genome of strain PI11T consisted of 4,884,839 bp.
Average nucleotide identity between the genome of strain
PI11T and other closely related type strains ranged between
77.25–90.74%. The polar lipid pattern comprised of phosphatidylglycerol,
diphosphatidylglycerol, and phosphatidylcholine.
The major (> 10%) cellular fatty acids were C18:1
ω6c/ω7c, C16:1 ω6c/ω7c, and C16:0. The DNA G + C content
of strain PI11T was 62.4 mol%. Based on the results of polyphasic
analysis, strain PI11T was delineated from other closely
related type strains. It is proposed that strain PI11T represents a novel species of the genus Pseudomonas, for which
the name Pseudomonas sediminis sp. nov. is proposed. The
type strain is PI11T (= KCTC 42576T = DSMZ 100245T).

Abstract
PDF
-
In the bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa, the synthesis and
secretion of extracellular protease is a typical cooperative
behavior regulated by quorum sensing. However, this type
of cooperative behavior is easily exploited by other individuals
who do not synthesize public goods, which is known
as the “tragedy of the commons”. Here P. aeruginosa was inoculated
into casein media with different nitrogen salts added.
In casein broth, protease (a type of public good) is necessary
for bacterial growth. After 30 days of sequential transfer,
some groups propagated stably and avoided “tragedy of the
commons”. The evolved cooperators who continued to synthesize
protease were isolated from these stable groups. By
comparing the characteristics of quorum sensing in these
cooperators, an identical evolutionary pattern was found. A
variety of cooperative behaviors regulated by quorum sensing,
such as the synthesis and secretion of protease and signals,
were significantly reduced during the process of evolution.
Such reductions improved the efficiency of cooperation, helping
to prevent cheating. In addition, the production of pyocyanin,
which is regulated by the RhlIR system, increased
during the process of evolution, possibly due to its role in
stabilizing the cooperation. This study contributes towards
our understanding of the evolution of quorum sensing of P.
aeruginosa.

Abstract
PDF
-
In this study, an antagonistic bacterium against Fusarium
oxysporum was identified and designated as Pseudomonas
syringae strain BAF.1 on the basis of 16S rDNA sequence
analysis and physiological-biochemical characteristics. It produced
catechol-species siderophore at a molecular weight
of 488.59 Da and a maximum amount of 55.27 μg/ml with
glucose as a carbon source and asparagine as a nitrogen
source at a C/N ratio of 10:1, 30°C and pH 7. The siderophore
exhibited prominent antagonistic activity against Fusarium
oxysporum with a maximum inhibition rate of 95.24% and
had also suppressive effects on other kinds of 11 phytopathogenic
fungi in the absence of FeCl3·6H2O. Spore germination
was completely inhibited by 50 μl of the siderophorecontaining
solution, and the ultrastructures of mycelia and
spores were also considerably suppressed by siderophore
treatment as established by electron microscopy observation.
These results indicate that the siderophore produced by Pseudomonas
syringae BAF.1 could be potentially used for biocontrol
of pathogenic Fusarium oxysporum.

Abstract
PDF

A Gram negative, aerobic, non-motile and rod-shaped bacterial
strain designated as Gr-2T was isolated from granules
used in a wastewater treatment plant in Korea, and its taxonomic
position was investigated using a polyphasic approach.
Strain Gr-2T grew at 18–37°C (optimum temperature, 30°C)
and a pH of 6.0–8.0 (optimum pH, 7.0) on R2A agar medium.
Based on 16S rRNA gene phylogeny, the novel strain showed
a new branch within the genus Pseudaminobacter of the family
Phyllobacteriaceae, and formed clusters with Pseudaminobacter
defluvii THI 051T (98.9%) and Pseudaminobacter
salicylatoxidans BN12T (98.7%). The G+C content of the genomic
DNA was 63.6%. The predominant respiratory quinone
was ubiquinone-10 (Q-10) and the major fatty acids were
cyclo-C19:0 ω8c, C18:1 ω7c, and iso-C17:0. The overall polar lipid
patterns of Gr-2T were similar to those determined for the
other Pseudaminobacter species. DNA-DNA relatedness values
between strain Gr-2T and its closest phylogenetically neighbors
were below 18%. Strain Gr-2T could be differentiated genotypically
and phenotypically from the recognized species of the
genus Pseudaminobacter. The isolate therefore represents a
novel species, for which the name Pseudaminobacter granuli
sp. nov. is proposed with the type strain Gr-2T (=KACC 18877T
=LMG 29567T).

Carbapenem-resistant Gram-negative bacteria (CR-GNB)
have emerged and disseminated worldwide, become a great
concern worldwide including Korea. The prevalence of fecal
carriage of imipenem-resistant Gram-negative bacteria (IRGNB)
in persons in Korea was investigated. Stool samples
were collected from 300 persons upon medical examination.
Samples were screened for IR-GNB by using MacConkey
agar with 2 μl/ml imipenem. Species were identified by 16S
rRNA gene sequence analysis, and antimicrobial susceptibility
was determined by the broth microdilution method.
In total, 82 IR-GNB bacterial isolates were obtained from
79 (26.3%) out of 300 healthy persons. Multilocus sequence
typing analysis showed very high diversity among IR P. aeruginosa,
S. maltophilia, and E. cloacae isolates, and pulsedfield
gel electrophoresis revealed five main pulsotypes of IR
P. mirabilis. As for the presence of metallo-β-lactamases
(MBLs), only one IMP-25-producing S. marcescens isolate
was identified. Although only one carbapenemase-producing
isolate was identified, the high colonization rates with IRGNB
isolates in this study is notable because carriers may
be a reservoir for the dissemination of resistant pathogens
within the community as well as in health care institutions.

Abstract
PDF
-
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

This study’s aim was to determine the identity of antibacte-rial compounds produced by Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain UICC B-40 and describe the antibacterial compounds’ me-chanisms of action for damaging pathogenic bacteria cells. Isolation and identification of the compounds were carried out using thin layer chromatography (TLC), nuclear mag-netic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and liquid chromato-graphy mass spectrometry (LC-MS) analyses. Antibacterial activity was assayed via minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and the antibacterial compound mechanism was ob-served morphologically through scanning electron micros-copy (SEM). This study successfully identified the (2E,5E)- phenyltetradeca-2,5-dienoate antibacterial compound (mole-cular weight 300 g/mol), composed of a phenolic ester, fatty acid and long chain of aliphatic group structures. MIC values for this compound were determined at 62.5 μg/ml against Staphylococcus aureus strain ATCC 25923. The mechanism of the compound involved breaking down the bacterial cell walls through the lysis process. The (2E,5E)-phenyltetradeca- 2,5-dienoate compound exhibited inhibitory activity on the growth of Gram-positive bacteria.

Abstract
PDF
-
Pseudomonas aeruginosa has been identified as an important
causative agent of airway infection, mainly in cystic fibrosis.
This disease is characterized by defective mucociliary clearance
induced in part by mucus hyper-production. Mucin is
a major component of airway mucus and is heavily O-glycosylated,
with a protein backbone. Airway infection is known
to be established with bacterial adhesion to mucin. However,
the genes involved in mucin degradation or utilization remain
elusive. In this study, we sought to provide a genetic basis of
P. aeruginosa airway growth by identifying those genes. First,
using RNASeq analyses, we compared genome-wide expression
profiles of PAO1, a prototype P. aeruginosa laboratory
strain, grown in M9-mucin (M9M) and M9-glucose (M9G)
media. Additionally, a PAO1 transposon (Tn) insertion mutants
library was screened for mutants defective in growth
in M9M medium. One mutant with a Tn insertion in the
xcpU gene (PA3100) was determined to exhibit faulty growth
in M9M medium. This gene contributes to the type II secretion
system, suggesting that P. aeruginosa uses this secretion
system to produce a number of proteins to break down and
assimilate the mucin molecule. Furthermore, we screened
the PAO1 genome for genes with protease activity. Of 13 mutants,
one with mutation in PA3247 gene exhibited defective
growth in M9M, suggesting that the PA3247-encoded protease
plays a role in mucin utilization. Further mechanistic
dissection of this particular process will reveal new drug targets,
the inhibition of which could control recalcitrant P. aeruginosa
infections.

Expression of a putative acyltransferase encoded by NCgl-
0350 of Corynebacterium glutamicum is induced by cell-free
culture fluids obtained from stationary-phase growth of both
C. glutamicum and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, providing evidence
for interspecies communication. Here, we further confirmed
that such communication occurs by showing that acyltransferase
expression is induced by culture fluid obtained
from diverse Gram-negative and -positive bacterial strains,
including Escherichia coli, Salmonella Typhimurium, Bacillus
subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus, Mycobacterium sp. strain JC1,
and Mycobacterium smegmatis. A homologous acyltransferase
encoded by PA5238 of P. aeruginosa was also induced by
fluids obtained from P. aeruginosa as well as other bacterial
strains, as observed for NCgl0350 of C. glutamicum. Because
C. glutamicum is difficult to study using molecular approaches,
the homologous gene PA5238 of P. aeruginosa was used to
identify PA5309 as an upstream regulator of expression. A
homologous D-amino acid dehydrogenase encoded by NCgl-
2909 of C. glutamicum was cloned based on amino acid similarity
to PA5309, and its role in the regulation of NCgl0350
expression was confirmed. Moreover, NCgl2909 played positive
roles in growth of C. glutamicum. Thus, we identified a
D-amino acid dehydrogenase as an upstream regulator of the
autoinduction of a putative acyltransferase in C. glutamicum.

Abstract
PDF
-
In recent decades, many researchers have written numerous
articles about microbial biofilms. Biofilm is a complex community
of microorganisms and an example of bacterial group
behavior. Biofilm is usually considered a sessile mode of life
derived from the attached growth of microbes to surfaces, and
most biofilms are embedded in self-produced extracellular
matrix composed of extracellular polymeric substances (EPSs),
such as polysaccharides, extracellular DNAs (eDNA), and
proteins. Dispersal, a mode of biofilm detachment indicates
active mechanisms that cause individual cells to separate from
the biofilm and return to planktonic life. Since biofilm cells
are cemented and surrounded by EPSs, dispersal is not simple
to do and many researchers are now paying more attention
to this active detachment process. Unlike other modes
of biofilm detachment such as erosion or sloughing, which
are generally considered passive processes, dispersal occurs
as a result of complex spatial differentiation and molecular
events in biofilm cells in response to various environmental
cues, and there are many biological reasons that force bacterial
cells to disperse from the biofilms. In this review, we
mainly focus on the spatial differentiation of biofilm that is
a prerequisite for dispersal, as well as environmental cues
and molecular events related to the biofilm dispersal. More
specifically, we discuss the dispersal-related phenomena and
mechanisms observed in Pseudomonas aeruginosa, an important
opportunistic human pathogen and representative
model organism for biofilm study.

Abstract
-
Plants produce a wide array of antimicrobial compounds,
such as phenolic compounds, to combat microbial pathogens.
The hrp PAI is one of the major virulence factors in the
plant pathogen, Pseudomonas syringae. A major role of hrp
PAI is to disable the plant defense system during bacterial
invasion. We examined the influence of phenolic compounds
on hrp PAI gene expression at low and high concentrations.
There was approximately 2.5 times more hrpA and hrpZ
mRNA in PtoDC3000 that was grown in minimal media
(MM) supplemented with 10 μM of ortho-coumaric acid than
in PtoDC3000 grown in MM alone. On the other hand, a
significantly lower amount of hrpA mRNA was observed in
bacteria grown in MM supplemented with a high concentration
of phenolic compounds. To determine the regulation
pathway for hrp PAI gene expression, we performed qRTPCR
using gacS, gacA, and hrpS deletion mutants.

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.

Abstract
-
Melioidosis caused by Burkholderia pseudomallei is a globally
important disease of increasing concern according to high
case
-fatality rate and epidemic spreading. The ability of B.
pseudomallei to attach and invade host cells and subsequently
survive intracellularly has stimulated many questions concerning
the comprehension of bacterial pathogenesis progression.
Transcription levels of intracellular B. pseudomallei
genes in human lung epithelial cells were therefore analyzed
using bioinformatic tools, RT-PCR and real time RT-PCR.
Here, it is reported that the identification of bpsl1502, encoding
B. pseudomallei SurE (stationary phase survival protein
E) located in a global transcriptional regulation operon was
accomplished. The up-regulation of B. pseudomallei SurE was
demonstrated during intracellular survival of A549 cells at
12, 18, and 24 h post-infection. To investigate the role of
this protein, a B. pseudomallei SurE defective mutant was
constructed. The invasion and initial survival of the SurE
mutants within the A549 cells were impaired. There was no
difference, however, between the growth of B. pseudomallei
SurE mutant as compared to the wild type in Luria-Bertani
culture. These data suggest that SurE may assist B. pseudomallei
host cells invade and facilitate early intracellular infection
but is not crucial during the stationary growth phase.
The identification of B. pseudomallei SurE provides more
information of bacterial strategy during an early step of the
pathogenesis process of melioidosis.

Abstract
-
Ferula (Ferula asafoetida L.) and Dorema (Dorema aucheri
Bioss.) both from Apiaceae family were tested for their antiquorum
sensing (QS) activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
Both essential oils exhibited anti-QS activity at 25 μg/ml
of concenteration. At this concenteration Ferula fully abolished
and Dorema reduced the violacein production by C.
violaceum. Pyocyanin, pyoverdine, elastase and biofilm production
were decreased in Ferula oil treatments. Dorema
oil reduced pyoverdine and elastase production, while pyocyanin
and biofilm production were not affacted. Expresion
analysis of QS-dependent genes confirmed our phenotypic
data. Our data introduced native Dorema and Ferula plants
as novel QS and virulence inhibitors.

Abstract
PDF
-
A Gram-negative, aerobic, non spore-forming, non-motile,
rod-shaped, yellow pigmented bacterium CP155-2T was isolated
from a biological soil crusts sample collected in the
Colorado plateau, USA and subjected to polyphasic taxonomic
characterization. Strain CP155-2T contained summed
feature 3 (C16:1ω5c/C16:1ω7c) and C18:1ω7c as major fatty
acids and diphosphatidylglycerol (DPG) along with phosphatidylethanolamine
(PE) and phosphatidylglycerol (PG)
as major polar lipids. Based on these characteristics CP155-2T
was assigned to the genus Pseudomonas. Phylogenetic analysis
based on 16S rRNA gene sequence further confirmed the
affiliation of CP155-2T to the genus Pseudomonas and showed
a 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity of less than 98.7% with
already described species of the genus. Pseudomonas luteola,
Pseudomonas zeshuii, and Pseudomonas duriflava were identified
as the closest species of the genus Pseudomonas with
16S rRNA gene sequence similarities of 98.7%, 98.6%, and
96.9%, respectively. The values for DNA–DNA relatedness
between CP155-2T and Pseudomonas luteola and Pseudomonas
zeshuii were 23% and 14% respectively a value below
the 70% threshold value, indicating that strain CP155-2T
belongs to a novel taxon of the genus Pseudomonas lineage.
The novel taxon status was strengthened by a number of phenotypic
differences wherein CP155-2T was positive for oxidase,
negative for gelatin hydrolysis, could utilize D-cellobiose,
D-raffinose, L-rhamnose, D-sorbitol but not L-aspartic
acid and L-glutamic acid. Based on the collective differences
strain CP155-2T exhibited, it was identified as a novel species
and the name Pseudomonas asuensis sp. nov. was proposed.
The type strain of Pseudomonas asuensis sp. nov. is CP155-
2T (DSM 17866T =ATCC BAA-1264T =JCM13501T =KCTC
32484T).

Abstract
PDF
-
The proinflammatory cytokine interleukin-1β plays an important role in protecting the host against airway infection; however, it can also trigger a massive influx of neutrophils into the airways, causing tissue damage. Anti-inflammatory treatments are particularly in demand for patients suffering from chronic inflammatory diseases. Sophora flavescens is a traditional herbal medicine used to reduce inflammation, but no study has examined its ability to block IL-1β production. Here, we show that S. flavescens reduced the Pseudomonas aeruginosa-induced expression of IL-1β by lung epithelial cells and macrophages. S. flavescens was also effective at reducing IL-1β production induced by either Staphylococcus aureus or phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate, indicating that the effect is generalizable to diverse inflammatory stimuli. In addition, S. flavescens blocked the phosphorylation of IKKα/β, key upstream kinases involved in the degradation of IκBα, and the cleavage of caspase-1, a key component of the inflammasome. Thus, this study demonstrates that S. flavescens exerts its anti-inflammatory effects by blocking P. aeruginosa-mediated NF-κB/inflammasome activation and the subsequent production of IL-1β.

Abstract

Wheat germ agglutinin (WGA), which is secreted on the
surface of wheat root, has been defined as a protein that reversibly
and non-enzymatically binds to specific carbohydrates.
However, little attention has been paid to the function
of WGA in the attachment of bacteria to their host plants.
The aim of this study was to investigate the role of WGA in
the attachment of Pseudomonas sp. WS32 to wheat roots.
Wheat roots were initially treated with double-distilled water,
WGA-H (WGA solution that was heated at 100°C for 15 min)
and WGA, independently. Subsequently, the roots were coincubated
with cell solutions (109 cells/ml). A dilution plate
method
using a solid nutrient medium was employed to determine
the adsorption of WS32 to wheat roots. WGA was
labeled with fluorescein isothiocyanate and detected using
the fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) technique. The
number of adsorptive WS32 cells on wheat roots was significantly
increased when the wheat roots were pretreated
with WGA, compared with the control treatment (p = 0.01).
However, WGA-H failed to increase the amount of bacterial
cells that attached to the wheat roots because of the loss
of its physiological activity. The FISH assay also revealed
that more cells adhered to WGA-treated wheat roots than to
control or WGA-H-treated roots. The results indicated that
WGA can mediate Pseudomonas strain WS32’s adherence
to wheat seedling roots. The findings of this study provide a
better understanding of the processes involved in plant-microbe
interactions.

Following collection of seawater samples during an Arctic
Chukchi Sea expedition cruise of the Korean icebreaker
Araon in 2012, a total of 15,696 bacteria were randomly isolated
from Marine Broth 2216 agar plates. Of these, 2,526
(16%) showed proteolytic activity and were identified as
mainly Alteromonas (31%), Staphylococcus (27%), and Pseudoalteromonas
(14%). Among the proteolytic strains, seven
were selected based on their significant ability to grow and
produce a halo on skim milk plates at low temperatures
(<5°C) owing to cold-active proteases. These strains were
affiliated with the genus Pseudoalteromonas and were divided
into three groups based on phylogenetic analysis of the 16S
rRNA genes. Profiling cell membrane fatty acids confirmed
the 16S rRNA-based differentiation and revealed the accordance
between the two analyses. Seven genes for serine protease
precursors were amplified from the corresponding
strains, and based on sequence similarities, these genes were
divided into three groups that were identical to those identified
by the 16S rRNA phylogenetic analysis. Three protease
genes from the representative strains of each group
were composed of 2,127–2,130 bp, encoding 708–709 amino
acids, and these genes yielded products with calculated molecular
weights of approximately 72.3–72.8 kDa. Amino acid
sequence analysis suggested that the precursors are members
of the subtilase serine endo- and exo-peptidase clan and contain
four domains (signal peptide, N-terminal prosequence,
catalytic domain, and two pre-peptidase C-terminal domains).
Upon expression in E. coli, each recombinant protease exhibited
proteolytic activity on zymogram gels.

Abstract
PDF
-
Water-soluble quinone oxidoreductases capable of reducing quinone substrates via a concerted two-electron mechanism have been implicated in bacterial antioxidant defence. Twoelectron transfer avoids formation of dangerously reactive semi-quinone intermediates, moreover previous work in Pseudomonas putida indicated a direct protective effect for the quinols generated by an over-expressed oxidoreductase. Here, the Pseudomonas aeruginosa orthologs of five quinone oxidoreductases – MdaB, ChrR, WrbA, NfsB, and NQO1 – were tested for their possible role in defending P. aeruginosa against H2O2 challenge. In in vitro assays, each enzyme was shown to reduce quinone substrates with only minimal semiquinone formation. However, when each was individually over-expressed in P. aeruginosa no overt H2O2-protective phenotype was observed. It was shown that this was due to a masking effect of the P. aeruginosa catalase, KatA; in a katA mutant, H2O2 challenged strains over-expressing the WrbA and MdaB orthologs grew significantly better than the empty plasmid control. A growth advantage was also observed for H2O2 challenged P. putida strains over-expressing P. aeruginosa wrbA, mdaB or katA. Despite not conferring a growth advantage to wild type P. aeruginosa, it is possible that these quinone oxidoreductases defend against H2O2 toxicity at lower concentrations.

Abstract
PDF

4-Hydroxy-2,5-dimethyl-3(2H)-furanone (HDMF), a nonhalogenated furanone found in a variety of fruits, has been shown to have antimicrobial activity. However, few studies have focused on its inhibitory effect on bacterial quorum sensing (QS) at levels below the non-inhibitory concentration. In this study, 0.1 μM HDMF decreased the production of QS signal molecules and inhibited QS-controlled biofilm formation by Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 without causing growth inhibition. In the presence of 0.1 and 1.0 μM HDMF, biofilm production by PAO1 was reduced by 27.8 and 42.6%, respectively, compared to that by untreated control cells. HDMF (1.0 μM) also significantly affected virulence factor expression (regulated by the las, rhl, and pqs system), resulting in a significant reduction in the production of LasA protease (53.8%), rhamnolipid (40.9%), and pyocyanin (51.4%). This HDMF-dependent inhibition of virulence factor expression was overcome by increasing the levels of two QS signal molecules of P. aeruginosa, N-(3-oxo-dodecanoyl)-L-homoserine lactone and N-butyryl-L-homoserine lactone, suggesting reversible competitive inhibition between HDMF and these molecules. The results of this study indicate that HDMF has great potential as an inhibitor of QS, and that it may be of value as a therapeutic agent and in biofilm control, without increasing selective pressure for resistance development.

Abstract

Temperate siphophages (MP29, MP42, and MP48) were isolated from the culture supernatant of clinical Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates. The complete nucleotide sequences and annotation of the phage genomes revealed the overall synteny
to the known temperate P. aeruginosa phages such as MP22, D3112, and DMS3. Genome-level sequence analysis showed the conservation of both ends of the linear genome and the divergence at the previously identified dissimilarity
regions (R1 to R9). Protein sequence alignment of the c repressor (ORF1) of each phage enabled us to divide the six phages into two groups: D3112 group (D3112, MP29, MP42, and MP48) and MP22 group (MP22 and DMS3). Superinfection
exclusion was observed between the phages belonging to the same group, which was mediated by the specific interaction between the c repressor and the cognate operator. Based on these, we suggest that the temperate siphophages prevalent in the clinical strains of P. aeruginosa represent at least two distinct heteroimmunity groups.

Abstract

We previously reported the development of a neutralization assay system for evaluating Japanese Encephalitis Virus (JEV) neutralizing antibody (NAb) using pseudotyped-JEV (JEV- PV). JEV-PV-based neutralization assay offers several advan-tages compared with the current standard plaque-reduc-tion neutralization test (PRNT), including simplicity, safety, and speed. To evaluate the suitability of the JEV-PV assay as new replacement neutralization assay, we compared its repeatability, reproducibility, specificity, and correlated its results with those obtained using the PRNT. These analyses showed a close correlation between the results obtained with the JEV-PV assay and the PRNT, using the 50% plaque re-duction method as a standard for measuring NAb titers to JEV. The validation results met all analytical acceptance criteria. These results suggest that the JEV-PV assay could serve as a safe and simple method for measuring NAb titer against JEV and could be used as an alternative approach for assaying the potency of JEV neutralization.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), a disease manifested by significantly impaired airflow, afflicts ~14.2 million cases in the United States alone with an estimated 63 million people world-wide. Although there are a number of causes, the predominant cause is excessive tobacco smoke. In fact, in China, there have been estimates of 315,000,000 people that smoke. Other less frequent causes are associated with indirect cigarette smoke, air pollutants, biomass fuels, and genetic mutations. COPD is often associated with heart disease, lung cancer, osteoporosis and conditions can worsen in patients with sudden falls. COPD also affects both innate and adaptive immune processes. Cigarette smoke increases the expression of matrix metalloproteases and proinflammatory chemokines and increases lung titers of natural killer cells and neutrophils. Yet, neutrophil reactive oxygen species (ROS) mediated by the phagocytic respiratory burst and phagocytosis is impaired by nicotine. In contrast to innate immunity in COPD, dendritic cells represent leukocytes recruited to the lung that link the innate immune responses to adaptive immune responses by activating naïve T cells through antigen presentation. The autoimmune process that is also a significant part of inflammation associated with COPD. Moreover, coupled with restricted FEV1 values, are the prevalence of patients with single or multiple infections by bacteria, viruses and fungi. Finally, we focus on one of the more problematic infectious agents, the Gram-negative opportunistic pathogenic bacterium, Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Specifically, we delve into the development of highly problematic biofilm infections that are highly refractory to conventional antibiotic therapies in COPD. We offer a nonconventional, biocidal treatment that may be effective for COPD airway infections as well as with combinations of current antibiotic regimens for more effective treatment outcomes and relief for patients with COPD.

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

Multicomponent phenol hydroxylases (mPHs) are diiron
enzymes that use molecular oxygen to hydroxylate a variety
of phenolic compounds. The DNA sequence of the alpha
subunit (large subunit) of mPH from 4-chlorophenol (4-CP)-
degrading bacterial strain PT3 was determined. Strain PT3
was isolated from oil-contaminated soil samples adjacent
to automobile workshops and oil stations after enrichment
and establishment of a chlorophenol-degrading consortium.
Strain PT3 was identified as a member of Pseudomonas sp.
based on sequence analysis of the 16S rRNA gene fragment.
The 4-CP catabolic pathway by strain PT3 was tentatively
proposed to proceed via a meta-cleavage pathway after hydroxylation
to the corresponding chlorocatechol. This hypothesis
was supported by polymerase chain reaction (PCR)
detection of the LmPH encoding sequence and UV/VIS spectrophotometric
analysis of the culture filtrate showing accumulation
of 5-chloro-2-hydroxymuconic semialdehyde
(5-CHMS) with λmax 380. The detection of catabolic genes
involved in 4-CP degradation by PCR showed the presence of
both mPH and catechol 2,3-dioxygenase (C23DO). Nucleotide
sequence analysis of the alpha subunit of mPH from strain
PT3 revealed specific phylogenetic grouping to known mPH.
The metal coordination encoding regions from strain PT3
were found to be conserved with those from the homologous
dinuclear oxo-iron bacterial monooxygenases. Two
DE(D)XRH motifs was detected in LmPH of strain PT3
within an approximate 100 amino acid interval, a typical
arrangement characteristic of most known PHs.

Abstract

The trans-membrane transport of hydrocarbons is an important
and complex aspect of the process of biodegradation
of hydrocarbons by microorganisms. The mechanism of
transport of 14C n-octadecane by Pseudomonas sp. DG17,
an alkane-degrading bacterium, was studied by the addition
of ATP inhibitors and different substrate concentrations.
When the concentration of n-octadecane was higher than
4.54 μmol/L, the transport of 14C n-octadecane was driven
by a facilitated passive mechanism following the intra/extra
substrate concentration gradient. However, when the cells
were grown with a low concentration of the substrate, the
cellular accumulation of n-octadecane, an energy-dependent
process, was dramatically decreased by the presence of ATP
inhibitors, and n-octadecane accumulation continually increased
against its concentration gradient. Furthermore, the
presence of non-labeled alkanes blocked 14C n-octadecane
transport only in the induced cells, and the trans-membrane
transport of n-octadecane was specific with an apparent
dissociation constant Kt of 11.27 μmol/L and Vmax of 0.96
μmol/min/mg protein. The results indicated that the transmembrane
transport of n-octadecane by Pseudomonas sp.
DG17 was related to the substrate concentration and ATP.

Abstract
PDF
-
Burkholderia pseudomallei, the causative agent of melioidosis, is a Gram-negative saprophytic bacterium capable of surviving within phagocytic cells. To assess the role of BopC (a type III secreted effector protein) in the pathogenesis of B. pseudomallei, a B. pseudomallei bopC mutant was used to infect J774A.1 macrophage-like cells. The bopC mutant showed significantly reduced intracellular survival in infected macrophages compared to wild-type B. pseudomallei. In addition, the bopC mutant displayed delayed escape from endocytic vesicles compared with the wild-type strain. This indicates that BopC is important, and at least in part, needed for intracellular survival of B. pseudomallei.
