Abstract
-
Streptococcus pneumoniae is a major respiratory pathogen
that causes millions of deaths worldwide. Although subunit
vaccines formulated with the capsular polysaccharides or
their protein conjugates are currently-available, low-cost
vaccines with wide serotype coverage still remain to be developed,
especially for developing countries. Recently, gamma-
irradiation has been considered as an effective inactivation
method
to prepare S. pneumoniae vaccine candidate.
In this study, we investigated the immunogenicity and protective
immunity of gamma-irradiated S. pneumoniae (r-SP),
by comparing with heat-inactivated S. pneumoniae (h-SP)
and formalin-inactivated S. pneumoniae (f-SP), both of which
were made by traditional inactivation methods. Intranasal
immunization of C57BL/6 mice with r-SP in combination
with cholera toxin as an adjuvant enhanced S. pneumoniaespecific
antibodies on the airway mucosal surface and in sera
more potently than that with h-SP or f-SP under the same
conditions. In addition, sera from mice immunized with r-
SP potently induced opsonophagocytic killing activity more
effectively than those of h-SP or f-SP, implying that r-SP
could induce protective antibodies. Above all, immunization
with r-SP effectively protected mice against S. pneumoniae
infection. Collectively, these results suggest that gamma-
irradiation is an effective method for the development
of a killed whole cell pneumococcal vaccine that elicits robust
mucosal and systemic immune responses.

Abstract
-
Organisms living in extreme environments have evolved a
wide range of survival strategies by changing biochemical and
physiological features depending on their biological niches.
Interestingly, organisms exhibiting high radiation resistance
have been discovered in the three domains of life (Bacteria,
Archaea, and Eukarya), even though a naturally radiationintensive
environment has not been found. To counteract
the deleterious effects caused by radiation exposure, radiation-
resistant organisms employ a series of defensive systems,
such as changes in intracellular cation concentration, excellent
DNA repair systems, and efficient enzymatic and non-enzymatic
antioxidant systems. Here, we overview past and recent
findings about radiation-resistance mechanisms in the
three domains of life for potential usage of such radiationresistant
microbes in the biotechnology industry.

Abstract
-
A novel Gram-positive, oval-shaped, non-motile bacterium
designated strain 16F1LT was isolated from sediment collected
from the Han River in Seoul, Republic of Korea. Based on the
16S rRNA gene sequence (1,448 bp), this strain was identified
as a member of the genus Deinococcus that belongs to the class
Deinococci. Similarities in the 16S rRNA gene sequence were
shown with Deinococcus daejeonensis MJ27T (99.0%), D. grandis
DSM 3963T (98.1%), D. radiotolerans C1T (97.5%), and D.
caeni Ho-08T (97.2%). Strain 16F1LT was classified as a different
genomic species from closely related Deinococcus members,
based on less than 70% DNA-DNA relatedness. Genomic
DNA G+C content of strain 16F1LT was 67.2 mol%. Strain
16F1LT was found to grow at temperatures of 10–37°C (optimum
25°C) and pH 7–8 (optimum pH 7) on R2A medium,
and was catalase-positive and oxidase-negative. Strain 16F1LT
showed resistance to gamma radiation (D10 > 2 kGy). In addition,
this strain had the following chemotaxonomic characteristics:
the major fatty acids were C15:1 ω6c and C16:1 ω7c; the
polar lipid profile contained phosphoglycolipids, unknown
aminophospholipids, an unknown aminoglycolipid, unknown
aminolipids, an unknown glycolipid, an unknown phospholipid,
and an unknown polar lipid; the major quinone was
MK-8. Phylogenetic, genotypic, phenotypic, and chemotaxonomic
characteristics indicated that strain 16F1LT represents
a novel species within the genus Deinococcus, for which the
name Deinococcus sedimenti sp. nov. is proposed. The type
strain is 16F1LT (=KCTC 33796T =JCM 31405T).

Abstract
-
Strain 16F1ET was isolated from a 3-kGy-irradiated sediment
sample collected at Han River in Seoul, Republic of Korea.
Cells of this strain were observed to be Gram-positive, pililike
structure, and short rod shape, and colonies were red in
color. The strain showed the highest degree of 16S rRNA gene
sequence similarity to Deinococcus aquaticus PB314T (98.8%),
Deinococcus depolymerans TDMA-24T (98.1%), Deinococcus
caeni Ho-08T (98.0%), and Deinococcus grandis DSM 3963T
(97.0%). 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis identified this
strain as a member of the genus Deinococcus (Family: Deinococcaceae).
The genomic DNA G+C content of strain 16F1ET
was 66.9 mol%. The low levels of DNA-DNA hybridization
(< 56.2%) with the species mentioned above identified strain
16F1ET as a novel Deinococcus species. Its oxidase and catalase
activities as well as the production of acid from glucose
were positive. Growth of the strain was observed at 10–37°C
(optimum: 20–30°C) and pH 4–10 (optimum: pH 7–8). The
cells tolerated less than 5% NaCl and had low resistance to
gamma radiation (D10 < 4 kGy). Strain 16F1ET possessed the
following chemotaxonomic characteristics: C16:0, C15:1 ω6c,
and C16:1 ω7c as the major fatty acids; phosphoglycolipid as
the predominant polar lipid; and menaquinone-8 as the predominant
respiratory isoprenoid quinone. Based on the polyphasic
evidence, as well as the phylogenetic, genotypic, phenotypic,
and chemotaxonomic characterization results, strain
16F1ET (=KCTC 33793T =JCM 31404T) is proposed to represent
the type strain of a novel species, Deinococcus seoulensis
sp. nov.

Abstract
-
A Gram-negative, yellow-pigmented, long-rod shaped bacterial
strain designated DY10T was isolated from a soil sample
collected at Mt. Deogyusan, Jeonbuk province, South Korea.
Optimum growth observed at 30°C and pH 7. No growth was
observed above 1% (w/v) NaCl. Comparative 16S rRNA gene
sequence analysis showed that strain DY10T belonged to the
genus Spirosoma and was distantly related to Spirosoma arcticum
R2-35T (91.0%), Spirosoma lingual DSM 74T (90.8%),
Spirosoma endophyticum EX36T (90.7%), Spirosoma panaciterrae
DSM 21099T (90.5%), Spirosoma rigui WPCB118T
(90.2%), Spirosoma spitsbergense DSM 19989T (89.8%), Spirosoma
luteum DSM 19990T (89.6%), Spirosoma oryzae RHs22T
(89.6%), and Spirosoma radiotolerans DG5AT (89.1%). Strain
DY10T showed resistance to gamma and ultraviolet radiation.
The chemotaxonomic characteristics of strain DY10T were
consistent with those of the genus Spirosoma, with the quinone
system with MK-7 as the predominant menaquinone,
iso-C15:0, C16:1 ω5c, and summed feature3 (C16:1 ω7c/C16:1 ω6c),
and phosphatidylethanolamine as the major polar lipid. The
G+C content of the genomic DNA was 53.0 mol%. Differential
phenotypic properties with the closely related type
strains clearly distinguished strain DY10T from previously
described members of the genus Spirosoma and represents
a novel species in this genus, for which the name Spirosoma
montaniterrae sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is DY10T
(=KCTC 23999T =KEMB 9004-162T =JCM 18492T).

Abstract
-
DNA metabolic processes such as DNA replication, recombination,
and repair are fundamentally important for the
maintenance of genome integrity and cell viability. Although
a large number of proteins involved in these pathways have
been extensively studied, many proteins still remain to be
identified. In this study, we isolated DNA-binding proteins
from Saccharomyces cerevisiae using DNA-cellulose columns.
By analyzing the proteins using mass spectrometry, an uncharacterized
protein, Cmr1/YDL156W, was identified. Cmr1
showed sequence homology to human Damaged-DNA binding
protein 2 in its C-terminal WD40 repeats. Consistent
with this finding, the purified recombinant Cmr1 protein
was found to be intrinsically associated with DNA-binding
activity and exhibited higher affinity to UV-damaged DNA
substrates. Chromatin isolation experiments revealed that
Cmr1 localized in both the chromatin and supernatant
fractions, and the level of Cmr1 in the chromatin fraction
increased when yeast cells were irradiated with UV. These
results
suggest that Cmr1 may be involved in DNA-damage
responses in yeast.

Abstract
-
The mutational spectra in the manganese (II) peroxidase gene (mnp) of the Pleurotus ostreatus mutants induced by gamma radiation (Co^60) give evidence to prove the effect of gamma radiation on the gene. mnp of each mutant was cloned, sequenced and analyzed. Among the 1941 base pairs of the sequenced region of the mnp genes of 4 mutants (PO-5, -6, -15 and -16), nine mutational hotspots on which the same base was mutated simultaneously were found, additionally 6 mutations were also found at different positions in the mnp gene. These mutation-spectra were predominantly A:T_G:C transitions (50.1%). By the analysis of putative amino acid sequences, PO-5 and PO-16 mutants have 3 and 1 mutated residues, respectively. Since the mutational spectra reported herein are specific to the mnp gene, we propose that the mutational hotspots for the gamma radiation could be in the gene(s) within cells.
