Abstract
-
Fish pathogen Vibrio anguillarum, a mesophile bacterium,
is usually found in estuarine and marine coastal ecosystems
worldwide that pose a constant stress to local organism by its
fluctuation in salinity as well as notable temperature change.
Though V. anguillarum is able to proliferate while maintain its
pathogenicity under low temperature (5–18°C), so far, coldadaption
molecular mechanism of the bacteria is unknown.
In this study, V. anguillarum was found possessing a putative
glycine betaine synthesis system, which is encoded by betABI
and synthesizes glycine betaine from its precursor choline.
Furthermore, significant up-regulation of the bet gene at the
transcriptional level was noted in log phase in response to
cold-stress. Moreover, the accumulation of betaine glycine
was only found appearing at low growth temperatures, suggesting
that response regulation of both synthesis system
and transporter system are cold-dependent. Furthermore,
in-frame deletion mutation in the two putative ABC transporters
and three putative BCCT family transporters associated
with glycine betaine uptake could not block cellular
accumulation of betaine glycine in V. anguillarum under coldstress,
suggesting the redundant feature in V. anguillarum betaine
transporter system. These findings confirmed that glycine
betaine serves as an effective cold stress protectant and
highlighted an underappreciated facet of the acclimatization
of V. anguillarum to cold environments.

Abstract
-
Twenty-five bacterial strains that secrete mucous materials were isolated from sediment obtained from King George Island, Antarctica. Seven of these strains proved capable of producing cryoprotective exopolysaccharides. The strain KOPRI 21653 was selected for the further study of an anti-ice-nucleating polysaccharide (ANP), which originated from a polar region. KOPRI 21653 was identified as Pseudoalteromonas arctica as the result of 16S rRNA analysis. The exopolysaccharide, P-21653, was purified completely from the KOPRI 21653 cell culture via column chromatography and protease treatment. The principal sugar components of P-21653 were determined to be galactose and glucose, at a ratio of 1:1.5, via GC-MS analysis. The cryoprotective activity of P-21653 was characterized via an E. coli viability test. In the presence of 0.1% (w/v) P-21653, the survival ratio of E. coli cells was as high as 82.6% over three repeated freeze-thaw cycles. The survival ratio decreased drastically to 71.5 and 48.1%, respectively, in five and seven repeated cycle conditions; however, the survival ratios were greater over three (96.6-92.1%) to seven (100.5-91.6%) freeze-thaw cycles in the presence of 0.5 and 1.0% (w/v) P-21653. In addition, at much lower concentrations (0.1-1.0%), P-21653 resulted in survival ratios (83.1-98.4%) similar to those of two commercially available cryoprotectants (VEG plus X-1000, 92.9% and VM3, 95.3%), which were utilized at the recommended concentrations (90%). The biochemical characteristics of exopolysaccharide P-21653 reflect that this compound may be developed as a useful cryoprotectant for use in medical applications and in the food industry.

Abstract
-
A halophilic bacterium was isolated from fermented seafood. The 16S rDNA sequence identity between the isolate and Halomonas subglaciescola AJ306801 was above 95%. The isolate that did not grow in the condition without NaCl or in the condition with other sodium (Na^+) or chloride ions (Cl^-) instead of NaCl was named H. subglaciescola DH-1. Two mutants capable of growing without NaCl were obtained by random mutagenesis, of which their total soluble protein profiles were compared with those of the wild type by two-dimensional electrophoresis. The external compatible solutes (betaine and choline) and cell extract of the wild type did not function as osmoprotectants, and these parameters within the mutants did not enhance their growth in the saline environment. In the proton translocation test, rapid acidification of the reactant was not detected for the wild type, but it was detected for the mutant in the condition without NaCl. From these results, we derived the hypothesis that NaCl may be absolutely required for the energy metabolism of H. subglaciescola DH-1 but not for its osmoregulation, and the mutants may have another modified proton translocation system that is independent of NaCl, except for those mutants with an NaCl-dependent system.
