Complete Genome Sequence of the Red-Pigmented Strain Serratia marcescens SCQ1 and Its Four Spontaneous Pigment Mutants.

ABSTRACT: Serratia marcescens SCQ1 is a red-pigmented bacterium isolated from silkworm larva with septicemia. Pigment-deficient spontaneous mutants arise when S. marcescens SCQ1 is incubated under relatively stable laboratory conditions for a long time. Here, we present the complete genome sequence of SCQ1 and the resequenced genomes of four spontaneous pigment mutants.

Genome Sequence of Pigmented Siderophore-Producing Strain Serratia marcescens SM6.

Project description:Here we present a draft genome sequence of laboratory strain Serratia marcescens SM6. Using the antiSMASH 5.0 prediction tool, we identi?ed five biosynthetic gene clusters involved in secondary metabolite production (two siderophores and a biosurfactant serratamolide, a glucosamine derivative, and a thiopeptide). Whole-genome sequencing information will be useful for the detailed study of metabolites produced by Serratia marcescens.

Transcriptomic Analysis Reveals Competitive Growth Advantage of Non-pigmented <i>Serratia marcescens</i> Mutants.

Project description:Serratia marcescens is a common bacterium well-known for the red secondary metabolite prodigiosin. However, color mutants have long been described. Non-pigmented strains can be found to exist both naturally and under laboratory conditions. It is unclear why S. marcescens loses prodigiosin synthesis capacity in certain conditions. In the present study, we find that the spontaneous color mutants arise within a few generations (about five passages) and rapidly replace the wild-type parent cells (about 24 passages), which indicates a growth advantage of the former. Although, the loss of prodigiosin synthesis genes (pigA-N) is frequently reported as the major reason for pigment deficiency, it was unexpected that the whole gene cluster is completely preserved in the different color morphotypes. Comparative transcriptomic analysis indicates a dramatic variation at the transcriptional level. Most of the pig genes are significantly downregulated in the color morphotypes which directly lead to prodigiosin dyssynthesis. Besides, the transcriptional changes of several other genes have been noticed, of which transcriptional regulators, membrane proteins, and nearly all type VI secretion system (T6SS) components are generally downregulated, while both amino acid metabolite and transport systems are activated. In addition, we delete the transcription regulator slyA to generate a non-pigmented mutant. The ΔslyA strain loses prodigiosin synthesis capacity, but has a higher cell density, and surprisingly enhances the virulence as an entomopathogen. These data indicate that S. marcescens shuts down several high-cost systems and activates the amino acid degradation and transport pathways at the transcriptional level to obtain extra resources, which provides new insights into the competitive growth advantage of bacterial spontaneous color mutants.

Complete Genome Sequence of Temperature-Dependent Pigment-Producing Serratia marcescens ATCC 274.

Project description:Serratia marcescens ATCC 274 produces the red pigment prodigiosin and the biosurfactant serrawettin W1 at 30°C but not at 37°C. A complete, high-quality genome sequence of S. marcescens ATCC 274 was obtained and found to comprise a single 5,148,533-bp circular genome with 4,799 genes.

Nuclease overexpression mutants of Serratia marcescens.

Project description:A family of mutants overexpressing the Serratia marcescens extracellular nuclease has been known for decades. A number of these alleles are characterized here at the molecular level, and the mutant genes are identified, yielding a likely model for their phenotype. The known mutations exert their effect indirectly on nucA expression by elevating the basal SOS response of the cell. Mutations have been found in xerC and uvrD, both of which result in partial SOS induction. A classic nucsu allele, that of strain W1050, is also likely to be in xerC.

Complete Genome Sequence of Serratia marcescens U36365, a Green Pigment-Producing Strain Isolated from a Patient with Urinary Tract Infection.

Project description:Serratia marcescens is an emerging nosocomial pathogen associated with urinary and respiratory tract infections. In this study, we determined the genome of a green pigment-producing clinical strain, U36365, isolated from a hospital in Southern India. De novo assembly of PacBio long-read sequencing indicates that the U36365 genome consists of a chromosome of 5.12 Mbps and no plasmids.

Serratia marcescens ATCC 274 increases production of the red pigment prodigiosin in response to Chi phage infection.

Project description:Serratia marcescens is an opportunistic human pathogen that produces a vibrant red pigment called prodigiosin. Prodigiosin has implications in virulence of S. marcescens and promising clinical applications. We discovered that addition of the virulent flagellotropic bacteriophage χ (Chi) to a culture of S. marcescens stimulates a greater than fivefold overproduction of prodigiosin. Active phage infection is required for the effect, as a χ-resistant strain lacking flagella does not respond to phage presence. Via a reporter fusion assay, we have determined that the addition of a χ-induced S. marcescens cell lysate to an uninfected culture causes a threefold increase in transcription of the pig operon, containing genes essential for pigment biosynthesis. Replacement of the pig promoter with a constitutive promoter abolished the pigmentation increase, indicating that regulatory elements present in the pig promoter likely mediate the phenomenon. We hypothesize that S. marcescens detects the threat of phage-mediated cell death and reacts by producing prodigiosin as a stress response. Our findings are of clinical significance for two main reasons: (i) elucidating complex phage-host interactions is crucial for development of therapeutic phage treatments, and (ii) overproduction of prodigiosin in response to phage could be exploited for its biosynthesis and use as a pharmaceutical.

Identification of pigmented Serratia marcescens symbiotically associated with Rhynchophorus ferrugineus Olivier (Coleoptera: Curculionidae).

Project description:To characterize red pigment-producing bacteria (RPPB) regularly released during oviposition by red palm weevil (RPW), RPPB were recovered from eggs deposited in apples supplied as substrate for oviposition. The presence of RPPB was also detected from gut, the reproductive apparatus of dissected adult and virgin insects and from pupal cases collected within infested palms. RPPB were also identified all along the tissue of these palms. Analysis of the 16S rDNA, gyrB, rpoB, recA, and groEL sequences assigned RPPB to the species Serratia marcescens. RPPB exhibited an antimicrobial activity assessed by the agar well diffusion method against a number of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. In this study, we first report the identification of a red pigment-producing S. marcescens as extracellular symbiont of RPW. Route of transmission, detection within different organs, and a wide spread along the infested palm tissue, suggested S. marcescens is present as extracellular symbiont in different developmental stages of the RPW. Additionally, the antimicrobial activity exhibited versus Bacillus spp., Paenibacillus spp., and Lysinibacillus spp., reported as insect pathogens and potential candidates for biocontrol agents, could ascribe for S. marcescens a potential protective role.

Prodigiosin pigment of Serratia marcescens is associated with increased biomass production.

Project description:Serratia marcescens is a gram-negative, facultatively-anaerobic bacterium and opportunistic pathogen which produces the red pigment prodigiosin. We employed both batch culture and chemostat growth methods to investigate prodigiosin function in the producing organism. Pigmentation correlated with an increased rate of ATP production during population lag phase. Results with a lacZ transcriptional fusion to the prodigiosin (pig) biosynthetic operon revealed that operon transcription is activated by low cellular levels of ATP at high cell density. Furthermore, these data enabled estimation of the ATP per cell minimum value at which the operon is induced. Pigmented cells were found to accumulate ATP more rapidly and to multiply more quickly than non-pigmented cells during the high density growth phase. Finally, results with both batch and chemostat culture revealed that pigmented cells grow to approximately twice the biomass yield as non-pigmented S. marcescens bacteria. Prodigiosin production may, therefore, provide a growth advantage at ambient temperatures.
