Optimized production and isolation of antibacterial agent from marine Aspergillus flavipes against Vibrio harveyi.

ABSTRACT: Statistical methodologies, including Plackett-Burman design and Box-Behnken design, were employed to optimize the fermentation conditions for the production of active substances against aquatic pathogen Vibrio harveyi by marine-derived Aspergillus flavipes strain HN4-13. The optimal crucial fermentation values for maximum production of active substances against V. harveyi were obtained as follows: X1 (peptone) = 0.3%, X2 (KCl) = 0.25%, and X3 (inoculum size) = 4.5%. The predicted diameter of inhibitory zone against V. harveyi was 23.39 mm, and the practical value reached 23.71 ± 0.98 mm with a 62.3% increase. Bioassay-guided fractionation resulted in the acquisition of two compounds whose structures were identified as questin (1) and emodin (2). Questin exhibited the same antibacterial activity against V. harveyi as streptomycin (MIC 31.25 µg/mL). This is the first time to report questin as a potential antibacterial agent against aquatic pathogen V. harveyi.

Molecular uptake of chitooligosaccharides through chitoporin from the marine bacterium Vibrio harveyi.

Project description:BackgroundChitin is the most abundant biopolymer in marine ecosystems. However, there is no accumulation of chitin in the ocean-floor sediments, since marine bacteria Vibrios are mainly responsible for a rapid turnover of chitin biomaterials. The catabolic pathway of chitin by Vibrios is a multi-step process that involves chitin attachment and degradation, followed by chitooligosaccharide uptake across the bacterial membranes, and catabolism of the transport products to fructose-6-phosphate, acetate and NH(3).Principal findingsThis study reports the isolation of the gene corresponding to an outer membrane chitoporin from the genome of Vibrio harveyi. This porin, expressed in E. coli, (so called VhChiP) was found to be a SDS-resistant, heat-sensitive trimer. Immunoblotting using anti-ChiP polyclonal antibody confirmed the expression of the recombinant ChiP, as well as endogenous expression of the native protein in the V. harveyi cells. The specific function of VhChiP was investigated using planar lipid membrane reconstitution technique. VhChiP nicely inserted into artificial membranes and formed stable, trimeric channels with average single conductance of 1.8±0.13 nS. Single channel recordings at microsecond-time resolution resolved translocation of chitooligosaccharides, with the greatest rate being observed for chitohexaose. Liposome swelling assays showed no permeation of other oligosaccharides, including maltose, sucrose, maltopentaose, maltohexaose and raffinose, indicating that VhChiP is a highly-specific channel for chitooligosaccharides.Conclusion/significanceWe provide the first evidence that chitoporin from V. harveyi is a chitooligosaccharide specific channel. The results obtained from this study help to establish the fundamental role of VhChiP in the chitin catabolic cascade as the molecular gateway that Vibrios employ for chitooligosaccharide uptake for energy production.

Cytotoxic indole alkaloids and polyketides produced by a marine-derived fungus Aspergillus flavipes DS720

Project description:Marine-derived microorganisms possess the unique metabolic pathways to produce structurally novel secondary metabolites with potent biological activities. In this study, bioactivity-guided isolation of the marine deep-sea-derived fungus Aspergillus flavipes DS720 led to the characterization of four indole alkaloids (compounds 1–4) and four polyketides (compounds 5–8), such as two new indoles, flavonoids A (1) and B (2) with a C-6 reversed prenylation, and a new azaphilone, flaviazaphilone A (5). Their chemical structures were unambiguously established by an extensive interpretation of spectroscopic data, such as 1D/2D NMR and HRESIMS data. The absolute configurations of the new compound 5 were solved by comparing the experimental and calculated Electronic Circular Dichroism (ECD) spectra. Since sufficient amount of flavonoids A (1) was obtained, 1 was subjected to a large-scale cytotoxic activity screening against 20 different human tumor cell lines. The results revealed that 1 showed broad-spectrum cytotoxicities against HeLa, 5637, CAL-62, PATU8988T, A-375, and A-673 cell lines, with the inhibition rates of more than 90%. This study indicated that the newly discovered indole alkaloid 1 may possess certain potential for the development of lead compounds in the future.

Quorum Sensing Regulates the Production of Methanethiol in Vibrio harveyi.

Project description:Methanethiol (MeSH) and dimethyl sulfide (DMS) are important volatile organic sulfur compounds involved in atmospheric chemistry and climate regulation. However, little is known about the metabolism of these compounds in the ubiquitous marine vibrios. Here, we investigated MeSH/DMS production and whether these processes were regulated by quorum-sensing (QS) systems in Vibrio harveyi BB120. V. harveyi BB120 exhibited strong MeSH production from methionine (Met) (465 nmol mg total protein-1) and weak DMS production from dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP) cleavage. The homologs of MegL responsible for MeSH production from L-Met widely existed in vibrio genomes. Using BB120 and its nine QS mutants, we found that the MeSH production was regulated by HAI-1, AI-2 and CAI-1 QS pathways, as well as the luxO gene located in the center of this QS cascade. The regulation role of HAI-1 and AI-2 QS systems in MeSH production was further confirmed by applying quorum-quenching enzyme MomL and exogenous autoinducer AI-2. By contrast, the DMS production from DMSP cleavage showed no significant difference between BB120 and its QS mutants. Such QS-regulated MeSH production may help to remove excess Met that can be harmful for vibrio growth. These results emphasize the importance of QS systems and the MeSH production process in vibrios.

Isolation and Characterization of a Newly Discovered Phage, V-YDF132, for Lysing Vibrio harveyi

Project description:A newly discovered lytic bacteriophage, V-YDF132, which efficiently infects the pathogenic strain of Vibrio harveyi, was isolated from aquaculture water collected in Yangjiang, China. Electron microscopy studies revealed that V-YDF132 belonged to the Siphoviridae family, with an icosahedral head and a long noncontractile tail. The phage has a latent period of 25 min and a burst size of 298 pfu/infected bacterium. V-YDF132 was stable from 37 to 50 °C. It has a wide range of stability (pH 5-11) and can resist adverse external environments. In addition, in vitro the phage V-YDF132 has a strong lytic effect on the host. Genome sequencing results revealed that V-YDF132 has a DNA genome of 84,375 bp with a GC content of 46.97%. In total, 115 putative open reading frames (ORFs) were predicted in the phage V-YDF132 genome. Meanwhile, the phage genome does not contain any known bacterial virulence genes or antimicrobial resistance genes. Comparison of the genomic features of the phage V-YDF132 and phylogenetic analysis revealed that V-YDF132 is a newly discovered Vibrio phage. Multiple genome comparisons and comparative genomics showed that V-YDF132 is in the same genus as Vibrio phages vB_VpS_PG28 (MT735630.2) and VH2_2019 (MN794238.1). Overall, the results indicate that V-YDF132 is potentially applicable for biological control of vibriosis.

VanT, a homologue of Vibrio harveyi LuxR, regulates serine, metalloprotease, pigment, and biofilm production in Vibrio anguillarum.

Project description:Vibrio anguillarum possesses at least two N-acylhomoserine lactone (AHL) quorum-sensing circuits, one of which is related to the luxMN system of Vibrio harveyi. In this study, we have cloned an additional gene of this circuit, vanT, encoding a V. harveyi LuxR-like transcriptional regulator. A V. anguillarum Delta vanT null mutation resulted in a significant decrease in total protease activity due to loss of expression of the metalloprotease EmpA, but no changes in either AHL production or virulence. Additional genes positively regulated by VanT were identified from a plasmid-based gene library fused to a promoterless lacZ. Three lacZ fusions (serA::lacZ, hpdA-hgdA::lacZ, and sat-vps73::lacZ) were identified which exhibited decreased expression in the Delta vanT strain. SerA is similar to 3-phosphoglycerate dehydrogenases and catalyzes the first step in the serine-glycine biosynthesis pathway. HgdA has identity with homogentisate dioxygenases, and HpdA is homologous to 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenases (HPPDs) involved in pigment production. V. anguillarum strains require an active VanT to produce high levels of an L-tyrosine-induced brown color via HPPD, suggesting that VanT controls pigment production. Vps73 and Sat are related to Vibrio cholerae proteins encoded within a DNA locus required for biofilm formation. A V. anguillarum Delta vanT mutant and a mutant carrying a polar mutation in the sat-vps73 DNA locus were shown to produce defective biofilms. Hence, a new member of the V. harveyi LuxR transcriptional activator family has been characterized in V. anguillarum that positively regulates serine, metalloprotease, pigment, and biofilm production.
