Abstract

Bacterial PII-like proteins are global regulators of nitrogen and energy metabolism, which respond to nutrients availability by binding cognate partner proteins, thus modulating their activity. The PotN protein from Lentilactobacillus hilgardii, a member of the new family of PII-like proteins, is capable of competitive binding of ATP and ADP, thus regulating metabolism in response to the cell energy status. Thus, under ADP excess, PotN binds this nucleotide and interacts mostly with the PotA subunit of the polyamine АВС transporter, suppressing its ATPase activity. PotN also dissociates from the transcription factor GlnR, restoring its ability to bind DNA and modulate expression of the genes of the GlnR regulon. On the contrary, in the ATP state PotN dissociates from PotA and binds to the GlnR factor.

摘要细菌PII样蛋白是氮和能量代谢的全局调控因子,它通过与同源伙伴蛋白结合对营养物质的可用性做出反应,从而调节其活性。来自扁豆乳杆菌(Lentilactobacillus hilgardii)的 PotN 蛋白是 PII 类蛋白家族的新成员,它能够竞争性地结合 ATP 和 ADP,从而根据细胞的能量状态调节新陈代谢。因此,在 ADP 过量的情况下,PotN 会与这种核苷酸结合,并主要与多胺АВС转运体的 PotA 亚基相互作用,抑制其 ATP 酶活性。PotN 还能与转录因子 GlnR 分离,恢复其结合 DNA 和调节 GlnR 调节子基因表达的能力。相反,在 ATP 状态下,PotN 与 PotA 分离,并与 GlnR 因子结合。

Abstract

Nonsense mutations in the essential SUP45 and SUP35 genes encoding translation termination factors affect the viability of Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells. Flow cytometry revealed that the viability of the mutants was 3.5‒4 times lower compared to the wild-type strains. Moreover, the mutants were found to have higher sensitivity to ultrasonic treatment.

Abstract

A new haloalkaliphilic member of the genus Salisediminibacterium (family Bacillaceae) with high chromate-reducing activity with a broad range of conditions was isolated. Reduction efficiency after 3 days was up to 99% at initial Cr(VI) concentrations 15 and 100 mg/L for mineral and organic media, respectively. Effect of organic matter on the rate of chromate reduction was shown. The isolate MB1000 differed from the presently described members of the genus Salisediminibacterium in its physiological characteristics.

Biogeography of Planktonic and Benthic Bacterial Communities of Lake Khubsugul (Mongolia) 呼布苏古尔湖(蒙古)浮游和底栖细菌群落的生物地理学特征
IF 1.5 4区 生物学 Q3 Immunology and Microbiology Pub Date : 2024-04-01 DOI: 10.1134/s0026261723603962

Abstract

The bacterioplankton of Lake Khubsugul (Hövsgöl) has significant differences from that of large ancient and oligotrophic water bodies. The greatest similarity was noted, however, between the microbiomes of Lake Khubsugul and Lake Baikal, the lakes located in the same rift zone and connected by the river system, which emphasizes the similarity of microbiomes at the regional level. In the global aspect, geographical zonation had the greatest reliable significance in the microbial community biogeography, while depth had the lowest. Trophic status of the lakes, as well as their ancient origin, did not affect the clustering of microbiomes, with the seasonal factor playing the major part at the local and regional levels.

摘要 胡布苏古尔湖(Hövsgöl)的浮游细菌与大型古寡营养水体的浮游细菌有显著差异。然而,胡布苏古尔湖和贝加尔湖的微生物组之间的相似性最大,这两个湖泊位于同一裂谷地带,由河流系统连接,这强调了微生物组在区域水平上的相似性。在全球范围内,地理分带在微生物群落生物地理学中的可靠程度最高,而深度最低。湖泊的营养状态及其古老的起源并不影响微生物群落的聚类,季节因素在地方和区域层面发挥着主要作用。

Introduction. Leclercia adecarboxylata is a member of Enterobacterales, often considered an opportunistic pathogen. Recent reports have highlighted L. adecarboxylata as an emerging pathogen harbouring virulence and resistance determinants.Gap statement. Little information exists on virulence and resistance determinants in L. adecarboxylata strains isolated from environmental, food, and clinical samples.Aim. To determine the presence of resistance and virulence determinants and plasmid features in L. adecarboxylata strains isolated from environmental, food, and clinical samples, as well as their phylogenetic relationship.Results. All strains tested showed resistance to β-lactams and quinolones but were sensitive to aminoglycosides and nitrofurans. However, even though fosfomycin resistance is considered a characteristic trait of L. adecarboxylata, the resistance phenotype was only observed in 50 % of the strains; bla TEM was the most prevalent BLEE gene (70 %), while the quinolone qnrB gene was observed in 60 % of the strains. Virulence genes were differentially observed in the strains, with adhesion-related genes being the most abundant, followed by toxin genes. Finally, all strains carried one to seven plasmid bands ranging from 7 to 125 kbps and harboured several plasmid addiction systems, such as ParDE, VagCD, and CcdAB in 80 % of the strains.Conclusions. L. adecarboxylata is an important emerging pathogen that may harbour resistance and virulence genes. Additionally, it has mobilizable genetic elements that may contribute to the dissemination of genetic determinants to other bacterial genera.
简介adecarboxylata 是肠杆菌科的一个成员,通常被认为是一种机会性病原体。最近的报告强调,十八烷菌是一种新出现的病原体,具有毒力和抗药性决定因素。关于从环境、食品和临床样本中分离出的十八碳肠杆菌菌株的毒力和耐药性决定因素的信息很少。目的:确定从环境、食品和临床样本中分离出的 adecarboxylata 杆菌菌株中是否存在抗药性和毒力决定因素、质粒特征及其系统发育关系。所有检测菌株均对β-内酰胺类和喹诺酮类产生耐药性,但对氨基糖苷类和硝基呋喃类药物敏感。然而,尽管磷霉素抗性被认为是L. adecarboxylata的特征性性状,但只有50%的菌株观察到该抗性表型;bla TEM是最普遍的BLEE基因(70%),而喹诺酮类药物qnrB基因在60%的菌株中观察到。在菌株中观察到的毒力基因各不相同,粘附相关基因最多,其次是毒素基因。最后,所有菌株都携带 1 到 7 个质粒带,带宽从 7 kbps 到 125 kbps 不等,并带有多个质粒上瘾系统,如 ParDE、VagCD 和 CcdAB(80% 的菌株)。L.adecarboxylata是一种重要的新兴病原体,可能携带抗性基因和毒力基因。此外,它还具有可移动的遗传因子,可能有助于将遗传决定因子传播到其他细菌属。

Group B streptococcus (GBS) is a chain-forming commensal bacterium and opportunistic pathogen that resides in the gastrointestinal and genitourinary tract of healthy adults. GBS can cause various infections and related complications in pregnant and nonpregnant women, adults, and newborns. Investigations of the mechanisms by which GBS causes disease pathogenesis often utilize colony count assays to estimate bacterial population size in experimental models. In other streptococci, such as group A streptococcus and pneumococcus, variation in the chain length of the bacteria that can occur naturally or due to mutation can affect facets of pathogenesis, such as adherence to or colonization of a host. No studies have reported a relationship between GBS chain length and pathogenicity. Here, we used GBS strain 874391 and several derivative strains displaying longer chain-forming phenotypes (874391pgapC, 874391ΔcovR, 874391Δstp1) to assess the impact of chain length on bacterial population estimates based on the colony-forming unit (c.f.u.) assay. Disruption of GBS chains via bead beating or sonication in conjunction with fluorescence microscopy was used to compare chaining phenotypes pre- and post-disruption to detect long- and short-chain forms, respectively. We used a murine model of GBS colonization of the female reproductive tract to assess whether chaining may affect bacterial colonization dynamics in the host during chronic infection in vivo. Overall, we found that GBS exhibiting long-chain form can significantly affect population size estimates based on the colony count assay. Additionally, we found that the length of chaining of GBS can affect virulence in the reproductive tract colonization model. Collectively, these findings have implications for studies of GBS that utilize colony count assays to measure GBS populations and establish that chain length can affect infection dynamics and disease pathogenesis for this important opportunistic pathogen.
B 组链球菌(GBS)是一种链状共生细菌和机会性病原体,存在于健康成年人的胃肠道和泌尿生殖道中。GBS 可引起孕妇、非孕妇、成人和新生儿的各种感染和相关并发症。对 GBS 致病机制的研究通常利用菌落计数法来估计实验模型中细菌的数量。在其他链球菌(如 A 组链球菌和肺炎球菌)中,细菌链长的变化可能是自然发生的,也可能是突变造成的,这会影响致病机理的各个方面,如对宿主的粘附或定植。目前还没有研究报道 GBS 链长与致病性之间的关系。在此,我们使用 GBS 菌株 874391 和几种显示较长成链表型的衍生菌株(874391pgapC、874391ΔcovR、874391Δstp1)来评估链长对基于菌落形成单位(c.f.u.)测定的细菌种群估计的影响。通过打珠或超声破坏 GBS 链并结合荧光显微镜来比较破坏前后的链表型,以分别检测长链和短链形式。我们利用鼠类雌性生殖道 GBS 定殖模型来评估链式反应是否会影响体内慢性感染期间细菌在宿主体内的定殖动态。总体而言,我们发现表现出长链形式的 GBS 会显著影响根据菌落计数测定得出的种群数量估计值。此外,我们还发现,在生殖道定植模型中,GBS 链的长度会影响其毒力。总之,这些发现对利用菌落计数测定法测量 GBS 种群数量的 GBS 研究具有重要意义,并确定了链长会影响这种重要机会性病原体的感染动力学和疾病致病机理。

Destruction of Biofilms of Gram-Positive and Gram-Negative Bacteria by Serine Protease PAPC from Aspergillus ochraceus 赭曲霉丝氨酸蛋白酶 PAPC 对革兰氏阳性和革兰氏阴性菌生物膜的破坏作用

Abstract

Infections associated with biofilm formation by gram-positive and gram-negative microorganisms cause difficulty in therapy and are prone to transition into chronic forms. Approaches to degradation of the biofilm matrix are therefore in demand. In the present work, we show that recombinant PAPC serine protease from Aspergillus ochraceus were able to degrade mature biofilms formed by a number of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria by 15‒20% at 50 µg/mL. At 100 µg/mL, the biomass of S. aureus and P. aeruginosa biofilms decreased by 50%. Thus, the PAPC may be a promising agent for biofilm removal and enhance the efficiency of antimicrobial therapy.

摘要 与革兰氏阳性和革兰氏阴性微生物形成的生物膜有关的感染给治疗带来困难,并容易转变为慢性感染。因此,我们需要降解生物膜基质的方法。在本研究中,我们发现来自赭曲霉的重组 PAPC 丝氨酸蛋白酶在 50 µg/mL 的浓度下能降解一些革兰氏阳性和革兰氏阴性细菌形成的成熟生物膜 15-20%。当浓度为 100 µg/mL 时,金黄色葡萄球菌和绿脓杆菌生物膜的生物量减少 50%。因此,PAPC 可能是一种很有前景的生物膜清除剂,并能提高抗菌治疗的效率。
