Isolation and Characterisation of the Agarolytic Bacterium Pseudoalteromonas Ruthenica.

ABSTRACT: Agar is a polysaccharide that primarily constitutes the cell wall of red algae. It is a good source of carbon and energy for many microbes. In the present study, an agarolytic bacterium, UQAD-3, was obtained from the waters of Al-Uqair, the Arabian Gulf, Al-Ahsaa, Saudi Arabia. UQAD-3 exhibited agarolytic activity when grown on agar as the sole source of carbon and energy. The strain was identified as Pseudoalteromonas ruthenica based on comparative analysis of the 16S rRNA, with 99.6% similarity. This finding was further confirmed by phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences, which highlighted that UQAD-3 was assembled within the Pseudoalteromonas clade and constituted a monophyletic subcluster with P. ruthenica, KMM 300^T. The strain was further characterised biochemically using the Biolog Gen III microtest system. UQAD-3 showed positive reactions to 16 (17%) of the 94 diverse traits assessed. Good growth was reported in 10% NaCl indicating its moderate halophilic nature. These observations indicate the agarolytic potential of the strain and opens new horizons for industrial applications in the future.

The haloprotease CPI produced by the moderately halophilic bacterium Pseudoalteromonas ruthenica is secreted by the type II secretion pathway.

Project description:The gene (cpo) encoding the extracellular protease CPI produced by the moderately halophilic bacterium Pseudoalteromonas ruthenica CP76 was cloned, and its nucleotide sequence was analyzed. The cpo gene encodes a 733-residue protein showing sequence similarity to metalloproteases of the M4 family. The type II secretion apparatus was shown to be responsible for secretion of the haloprotease CPI.

Identification of a marine agarolytic pseudoalteromonas isolate and characterization of its extracellular agarase

Project description:The phenotypic and agarolytic features of an unidentified marine bacteria that was isolated from the southern Pacific coast was investigated. The strain was gram negative, obligately aerobic, and polarly flagellated. On the basis of several phenotypic characters and a phylogenetic analysis of the genes coding for the 16S rRNA, this strain was identified as Pseudoalteromonas antarctica strain N-1. In solid agar, this isolate produced a diffusible agarase that caused agar softening around the colonies. An extracellular agarase was purified by ammonium sulfate precipitation, gel filtration, and ion-exchange chromatography on DEAE-cellulose. The purified protein was determined to be homogeneous on the basis of sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, and it had a molecular mass of 33 kDa. The enzyme hydrolyzed the beta-1,4-glycosydic linkages of agar, yielding neoagarotetraose and neoagarohexaose as the main products, and exhibited maximal activity at pH 7. The enzyme was stable at temperatures up to 30 degreesC, and its activity was not affected by salt concentrations up to 0.5 M NaCl.

Isolation and characterization of tambjamine MYP1, a macrocyclic tambjamine analogue from marine bacterium <i>Pseudoalteromonas citrea</i>.

Project description:Tambjamines are natural products that consist of a conserved bipyrrole core functionalized with different imines giving rise to many derivatives. The core structure of tambjamines allows ion coordination through the nitrogen atoms, which is a key aspect in many of their observed antimicrobial, anticancer, and antimalarial bioactivities. Minor variances in the compound structure have a considerable impact on the potency of these activities, so identifying new analogues is valuable for maximizing tambjamine biological potential. In this work, we describe the isolation and structure elucidation of the first naturally occurring macrocyclized tambjamine, tambjamine MYP1, from the marine microbe Pseudoalteromonas citrea. We also compare the apparent pK a of cyclic and linear tambjamine analogues and discuss how structural strain may effect the compound's ion coordination abilities.

Biofilm development and cell death in the marine bacterium Pseudoalteromonas tunicata.

Project description:The newly described green-pigmented bacterium Pseudoalteromonas tunicata (D2) produces target-specific inhibitory compounds against bacteria, algae, fungi, and invertebrate larvae and is frequently found in association with living surfaces in the marine environment. As part of our studies on the ecology of P. tunicata and its interaction with marine surfaces, we examined the ability of P. tunicata to form biofilms under continuous culture conditions within the laboratory. P. tunicata biofilms exhibited a characteristic architecture consisting of differentiated microcolonies surrounded by water channels. Remarkably, we observed a repeatable pattern of cell death during biofilm development of P. tunicata, similar to that recently reported for biofilms of Pseudomonas aeruginosa (J. S. Webb et al., J. Bacteriol. 185:4585-4595, 2003). Killing and lysis occurred inside microcolonies, apparently resulting in the formation of voids within these structures. A subpopulation of viable cells was always observed within the regions of killing in the biofilm. Moreover, extensive killing in mature biofilms appeared to result in detachment of the biofilm from the substratum. A novel 190-kDa autotoxic protein produced by P. tunicata, designated AlpP, was found to be involved in this biofilm killing and detachment. A Delta alpP mutant derivative of P. tunicata was generated, and this mutant did not show cell death during biofilm development. We propose that AlpP-mediated cell death plays an important role in the multicellular biofilm development of P. tunicata and subsequent dispersal of surviving cells within the marine environment.

Agarolytic bacterium Persicobacter sp. CCB-QB2 exhibited a diauxic growth involving galactose utilization pathway.

Project description:The agarolytic bacterium Persicobacter sp. CCB-QB2 was isolated from seaweed (genus Ulva) collected from a coastal area of Malaysia. Here, we report a high-quality draft genome sequence for QB2. The Rapid Annotation using Subsystem Technology (RAST) annotation server identified four ?-agarases (PdAgaA, PdAgaB, PdAgaC, and PdAgaD) as well as galK, galE, and phosphoglucomutase, which are related to the Leloir pathway. Interestingly, QB2 exhibited a diauxic growth in the presence of two kinds of nutrients, such as tryptone and agar. In cells grown with agar, the profiles of agarase activity and growth rate were very similar. galK, galE, and phosphoglucomutase genes were highly expressed in the second growth phase of diauxic growth, indicating that QB2 cells use galactose hydrolyzed from agar by its agarases and exhibit nutrient prioritization. This is the first report describing diauxic growth for agarolytic bacteria. QB2 is a potential novel model organism for studying diauxic growth in environmental bacteria.

Antibiofilm activity of the marine bacterium Pseudoalteromonas sp. strain 3J6.

Project description:Biofilm formation results in medical threats or economic losses and is therefore a major concern in a variety of domains. In two-species biofilms of marine bacteria grown under dynamic conditions, Pseudoalteromonas sp. strain 3J6 formed mixed biofilms with Bacillus sp. strain 4J6 but was largely predominant over Paracoccus sp. strain 4M6 and Vibrio sp. strain D01. The supernatant of Pseudoalteromonas sp. 3J6 liquid culture (SN(3J6)) was devoid of antibacterial activity against free-living Paracoccus sp. 4M6 and Vibrio sp. D01 cells, but it impaired their ability to grow as single-species biofilms and led to higher percentages of nonviable cells in 48-h biofilms. Antibiofilm molecules of SN(3J6) were able to coat the glass surfaces used to grow biofilms and reduced bacterial attachment about 2-fold, which might partly explain the biofilm formation defect but not the loss of cell viability. SN(3J6) had a wide spectrum of activity since it affected all Gram-negative marine strains tested except other Pseudoalteromonas strains. Biofilm biovolumes of the sensitive strains were reduced 3- to 530-fold, and the percentages of nonviable cells were increased 3- to 225-fold. Interestingly, SN(3J6) also impaired biofilm formation by three strains belonging to the human-pathogenic species Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Salmonella enterica, and Escherichia coli. Such an antibiofilm activity is original and opens up a variety of applications for Pseudoalteromonas sp. 3J6 and/or its active exoproducts in biofilm prevention strategies.
