Temperature is one of the most important factors in all living organisms for survival. Being a unicellular organism, bacterium requires sensitive sensing and defense mechanisms to tolerate changes in temperature. During a temperature shift, the structure and composition of various cellular molecules including nucleic acids, proteins, and membranes are affected. In addition, numerous genes are induced during heat or cold shocks to overcome the cellular stresses, which are known as heat- and cold-shock proteins. In this review, we describe the cellular phenomena that occur with temperature change and bacterial responses from a molecular perspective, mainly in Escherichia coli.

Abstract

Pseudomonas is widespread in various environmental and host niches. To promote rejuvenation, cellular protein homeostasis must be finely tuned in response to diverse stresses, such as extremely high and low temperatures, oxidative stress, and desiccation, which can result in protein homeostasis imbalance. Molecular chaperones function as key components that aid protein folding and prevent protein denaturation. Pseudomonas, an ecologically important bacterial genus, includes human and plant pathogens as well as growth-promoting symbionts and species useful for bioremediation. In this review, we focus on protein quality control systems, particularly molecular chaperones, in ecologically diverse species of Pseudomonas, including the opportunistic human pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa, the plant pathogen Pseudomonas syringae, the soil species Pseudomonas putida, and the psychrophilic Pseudomonas antarctica.

Abstract

Tryptophol (TOL) is a metabolic derivative of tryptophan (Trp) and shows pleiotropic effects in humans, plants and microbes. In this study, the effect of Trp and phenylalanine (Phe) on TOL production in Saccharomyces cerevisiae was determined, and a systematic interpretation of TOL accumulation was offered by transcriptomic and metabolomic analyses. Trp significantly promoted TOL production, but the output plateaued (231.02−266.31 mg/L) at Trp concentrations ≥ 0.6 g/L. In contrast, Phe reduced the stimulatory effect of Trp, which was strongly dependent on the Phe concentration. An integrated genomic, transcriptomic, and metabolomic analysis revealed that the effect of Trp and Phe on TOL production was mainly related to the transamination and decarboxylation of the Ehrlich pathway. Additionally, other genes, including thiamine regulon genes (this), the allantoin catabolic genes dal1, dal2, dal4, and the transcriptional activator gene aro80, may play important roles. These findings were partly supported by the fact that the thi4 gene was involved in TOL production, as shown by heterologous expression analysis. To the best of our knowledge, this novel biological function of thi4 in S. cerevisiae is reported here for the first time. Overall, our findings provide insights into the mechanism of TOL production, which will contribute to TOL production using metabolic engineering strategies.

Abstract

Protein phosphatase (PPase) inhibition assay (PPIA) is widely used to analyze the concentration of microcystins (MCs) because it is comparatively less expensive and faster than other assays. This study aimed to optimize the PPIA by determining a suitable reaction terminator and an optimal methanol concentration in the sample. The most suitable reaction time was 90 min, with the corresponding methanol concentration in the sample being 15% or less. When p-nitrophenyl phosphate (pNPP) was used as a substrate, copper chloride solution was suitably used as a reaction terminator, and when 4- methylumbelliferyl phosphate (MUP) was used, a glycine buffer not only increased the measurement sensitivity of the reaction product but also terminated the enzymatic reaction. When PPase 1 and MUP were used as an enzyme and a substrate, respectively, the limit of quantitation for MC-leucine/ arginine (LR) was 0.02 μg/L, whereas it was 0.1 μg/L when pNPP was used as a substrate. The proposed method facilitated the measurement of MC-LR concentration without additional pretreatments, such as concentration or purification; therefore, this method was suitable and feasible for the continuous monitoring of MCs in drinking water.

Abstract

Aspergillus fumigatus is the most prevalent saprophytic fungi and can cause severe invasive aspergillosis in immunocompromised individuals. For infection of A. fumigatus, the small hydrophobic conidia have been shown to play a dominant role. In this study, we found that deletion of erg5, a C-22 sterol desaturase gene which function in the last two steps of ergosterol biosynthesis, was sufficient to block ergosterol biosynthesis and conidiation. The deletion phenotype was further verified by a conditional expression strain of erg5 using the inducible tet-on system. Strikingly, erg5 mutant displays increased susceptibility to antifungal azoles itraconazole. RNA sequencing analysis showed that erg5 deficiency resulted in changes in transcription mainly related to lipid, carbohydrate, and amino acid metabolism. Genes encoding ergosterol biosynthesis- related enzymes were found to be up-regulated in erg5 null mutants. However, genes involved in asexual development, including upstream regulators, melanin biosynthesis enzymes, heterotrimeric G proteins, and MAPK signaling, were down-regulated to various degrees. Furthermore, metabolomic study revealed that erg5 deficiency also resulted in altered lipid and amino acid metabolism, which was consistent with our transcriptomics analysis. Collectively, our study established a link between ergosterol biosynthesis and asexual development at the transcriptomics and metabolomics level in A. fumigatus.

Abstract

In order to adapt to different environments, Vibrio parahaemolyticus employed a complicated quorum sensing system to orchestrate gene expression and diverse colony morphology patterns. In this study, the function of the putative quorum sensing signal synthase gene cqsA (VPA0711 in V. parahaemolyticus strain RIMD2210633 genome) was investigated. The cloning and expression of V. parahaemolyticus cqsA in Escherichia coli system induced the production of a new quorum sensing signal that was found in its culture supernatant. The signal was purified by high performance liquid chromatography
methods
and determined to be 3-hydroxyundecan- 4-one by indirect and direct mass spectra assays. The deletion of cqsA in RIMD2210633 changed V. parahaemolyticus colony morphology from the classical ‘fried-egg’ shape (thick and opaque in the center, while thin and translucent in the edge) of the wild-type colony to a ‘pancake’ shape (no significant difference between the centre and the edge) of the cqsAdeleted colony. This morphological change could be restored by complementary experiment with cqsA gene or the signal extract. In addition, the expression of opaR, a well-known quorum sensing regulatory gene, could be up-regulated by cqsA deletion. Our results suggested that V. parahaemolyticus used cqsA to produce 3-hydroxyundecan-4-one signal and thereby regulated colony morphology and other quorum sensing-associated behaviors.

Abstract

A Gram-stain-negative, asporogenous, aerobic rods, motile by means of a single polar flagellum, catalase- and oxidase-positive, methylotrophic bacterium, designated 17Sr1-28T, was isolated from gamma ray-irradiated soil. The 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis showed that strain 17Sr1-28T was phylogenetically related to Methylobacterium currus PR1016AT (96.8%), Methylobacterium platani PMB02T (96.2%), Methylobacterium aquaticum DSM 16371T (96.3%), Methylobacterium tarhaniae N4211T (96.4%), Methylobacterium frigidaeris IER25-16T (95.8%), and Methylobacterium organophilum JCM 2833T (92.7%). The G+C content calculated based on genome sequence was 71.6%. The average nucleotide identity and in silico DNA-DNA hybridization values between strain 17Sr1- 28T and M. currus, M. platani, M. aquaticum, M. tarhaniae, M. frigidaeris, and M. organophilum were 77.7–90.4% and 22–39.6%, respectively. The major fatty acids of strain 17Sr1- 28T were summed feature 8 (C18:1 ω7c and/or C18:1 ω6c), and summed feature 3 (C16:1 ω7c and/or C16:1 ω6c). The predominant quinone was ubiquinone 10 and the major polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine, and phosphatidylglycerol. On the basis of the data from phenotypic tests and genotypic differences between strain 17Sr1-28T and its close phylogenetic relatives, strain 17Sr1-28T represents a new species belonging to the genus Methylobacterium, for which the name Methylobacterium terrae sp. nov. (= KCTC 52904T = NBRC 112873T) is proposed.

Abstract

In this study, we explored Bacillus subtilis biofilm growth under various conditions such as the use of substrates with different stiffnesses and nutrient levels using a well-developed optical imaging technique to spatially and temporally track biofilm growth. We also developed a quantitative method to characterize B. subtilis biofilm morphologies under various growth conditions. To determine biofilm rim irregularities, we used the dimensionless P2A ratio, defined as P2/4πA, where P is the perimeter and A is the area of the biofilm. To estimate biofilm thickness from transmission images, we developed a calibration procedure based on Beer- Lambert’s law and cross sectioning. Furthermore, to determine the distributions of different B. subtilis cell phenotypes during biofilm growth, we used a triple-fluorescence-labeled B. subtilis strain that expressed motility, matrix production, and sporulation. Based on this work, we are able to tune biofilm growth by changing its growing environment.

Abstract

Several strains of Penicillium section Citrina were isolated during a survey of fungi from marine environments along the southern coast of Korea. Based on multigene phylogenetic analyses (?tubulin and calmodulin) and morphological characteristics, the 11 strains were identified as P. citrinum, P. hetheringtonii, P. paxilli, P. sumatrense, P. terrigenum, and P. westlingii. To understand the ecological role of these species, we tested all strains for extracellular enzyme activity; six strains representing four species showed ?glucosidase activity. Four of the identified species ?P. hetheringtonii, P. paxilli, P. terrigenum, and P. westlingii ?are new records for Korea. For these new species records, we describe morphological characteristics of the strains and compare results to published data of type strains.

Abstract

The incidence of fluconazole-resistant Candida albicans has been increasing worldwide. Both biofilm and fungal morphogenesis are main virulence factors of C. albicans cells. Extracellular fungal prostaglandins are synthesized during biofilm adhesion and development and through yeast-hypha conversion. Hence, we targeted prostaglandin synthesis with various cyclooxygenase (COX) inhibitors (aspirin, diclofenac, ketoprofen, tenoxicam, and ketorolac) and assessed their effect on fungal adhesion, biofilm formation, and yeast-hypha conversion in clinical isolates of Fluconazole resistant C. albicans. Significant reduction in fungal adhesion and detachment of mature biofilm was attained down to 1 mM concentrations of anti-inflammatory agents. Microscopical examination of fungal cells in the presence of the tested drugs showed significant reduction of germ tube formation. Therefore, COX inhibitors have a significant effect on reduction of Candida adhesion and biofilm development in correlation with fungal morphogenesis. Moreover, inhibition of C. albicans by COX inhibitors gave synergistic activity with fluconazole suggesting that combination therapeutic strategies may be fruitful for management of infection of Fluconazole resistant C. albicans.

Abstract: ORF43 (ac43) of Autographa californica multiple nucleopolyhedrovirus (AcMNPV) is a highly conserved baculovirus gene of unknown function. To investigate the role of ac43 in the baculovirus lifecycle, we constructed an ac43-deleted mutant AcMNPV, Ac43KO. After transfection into Spodoptera frugiperda cells, Ac43KO produced polyhedra much larger in size than those of wild-type AcMNPV. Interestingly, some of the nucleocapsids were singly enveloped in the polyhedrin matrix while the nucleocapsids of AcMNPV are known to be multiply enveloped. Furthermore, Ac43KO led to a defect in the transcription and expression of polyhedrin, which resulted in reduced occlusion body production. However, Ac43KO did not affect production of budded virus as there was no remarkable difference in budded virus titer. These results suggest that ac43 plays an important role in the expression of polyhedrin, the morphogenesis of occlusion body, and the assembly of virions occluded in occlusion bodies.

Effect of Fungal Pellet Morphology on Enzyme Activities Involved in Phthalate Degradation: Young-Mi Kim , Hong-Gyu Song; J. Microbiol. 2009;47(4):420-424. Published online September 9, 2009; DOI: https://doi.org/10.1007/s12275-009-0051-8

Abstract: Pellet size of white rot fungus, Pleurotus ostreatus may affect the secretion of its degradative enzymes and accompanying biodegrading capability, but could be controlled by several physical culture conditions in liquid culture. The pellet size of P. ostreatus was affected by the volume of inoculum, flask, and medium, but the agitation speed was the most important control factor. At the lower agitation speed of 100 rpm, the large pellets were formed and the laccase activity was higher than that of small pelleted culture at 150 rpm, which might be due to loose intrapellet structure. However, the biodegradation rates of benzylbutylphthalate and dimethylphthalate were higher in the small pelleted culture, which indicated the involvement of other degradative enzyme rather than laccase. The activity of esterase which catalyzes the nonphenolic compounds before the reaction of ligninolytic enzymes was higher in the small pelleted culture, and coincided with the degradation pattern of phthalates. This study suggests the optimization of pellet morphology and subsequent secretion of degradative enzymes is necessary for the efficient removal of recalcitrants by white rot fungi.
