Aneurysm Infection Caused by Desulfovibrio desulfuricans.

Project description:An 84-year-old man in Japan who had undergone endovascular aortic repair 9 years earlier had an infected aneurysm develop. We detected Desulfovibrio desulfuricans MB at the site. The patient recovered after surgical debridement, artificial vessel replacement, and appropriate antimicrobial therapy. Clinicians should suspect Desulfovibrio spp. infection in similar cases.

Cytochrome c(3) mutants of Desulfovibrio desulfuricans.

Project description:To explore the physiological role of tetraheme cytochrome c(3) in the sulfate-reducing bacterium Desulfovibrio desulfuricans G20, the gene encoding the preapoprotein was cloned, sequenced, and mutated by plasmid insertion. The physical analysis of the DNA from the strain carrying the integrated plasmid showed that the insertion was successful. The growth rate of the mutant on lactate with sulfate was comparable to that of the wild type; however, mutant cultures did not achieve the same cell densities. Pyruvate, the oxidation product of lactate, served as a poor electron source for the mutant. Unexpectedly, the mutant was able to grow on hydrogen-sulfate medium. These data support a role for tetraheme cytochrome c(3) in the electron transport pathway from pyruvate to sulfate or sulfite in D. desulfuricans G20.

The reductive glycine pathway allows autotrophic growth of Desulfovibrio desulfuricans.

Project description:Six CO2 fixation pathways are known to operate in photoautotrophic and chemoautotrophic microorganisms. Here, we describe chemolithoautotrophic growth of the sulphate-reducing bacterium Desulfovibrio desulfuricans (strain G11) with hydrogen and sulphate as energy substrates. Genomic, transcriptomic, proteomic and metabolomic analyses reveal that D. desulfuricans assimilates CO2 via the reductive glycine pathway, a seventh CO2 fixation pathway. In this pathway, CO2 is first reduced to formate, which is reduced and condensed with a second CO2 to generate glycine. Glycine is further reduced in D. desulfuricans by glycine reductase to acetyl-P, and then to acetyl-CoA, which is condensed with another CO2 to form pyruvate. Ammonia is involved in the operation of the pathway, which is reflected in the dependence of the autotrophic growth rate on the ammonia concentration. Our study demonstrates microbial autotrophic growth fully supported by this highly ATP-efficient CO2 fixation pathway.

Genome sequence of the mercury-methylating strain Desulfovibrio desulfuricans ND132.

Project description:Desulfovibrio desulfuricans strain ND132 is an anaerobic sulfate-reducing bacterium (SRB) capable of producing methylmercury (MeHg), a potent human neurotoxin. The mechanism of methylation by this and other organisms is unknown. We present the 3.8-Mb genome sequence to provide further insight into microbial mercury methylation.

A four-iron ferredoxin from Desulfovibrio desulfuricans.

Project description:Ferredoxin from Desulfovibrio desulfuricans was isolated, purified and crystallized. It contains four iron atoms and four sulphido or ;acid-labile' sulphur atoms for a molecule of 6000 daltons. The absorption spectrum in the u.v.-visible region and the electron-paramagnetic-resonance signals of the reduced protein are similar to those observed for other four-iron ferredoxins. The amino acid composition is different from that of Desulfovibrio gigas ferredoxin. The redox potential of -0.33V at pH7.0 was determined by dye techniques.

Complete Genome Sequence of Desulfovibrio desulfuricans IC1, a Sulfonate-Respiring Anaerobe.

Project description:We report the complete genome sequence of the anaerobic, sulfonate-respiring, sulfate-reducing bacterium Desulfovibrio desulfuricans IC1. The genome was assembled into a single 3.25-Mb circular chromosome with 2,680 protein-coding genes identified. Sequencing of sulfonate-metabolizing anaerobes is key for understanding sulfonate degradation and its role in the sulfur cycle.

Characterization of intracellular palladium nanoparticles synthesized by Desulfovibrio desulfuricans and Bacillus benzeovorans.

Project description:Early studies have focused on the synthesis of palladium nanoparticles within the periplasmic layer or on the outer membrane of Desulfovibrio desulfuricans and on the S-layer protein of Bacillus sphaericus. However, it has remained unclear whether the synthesis of palladium nanoparticles also takes place in the bacterial cell cytoplasm. This study reports the use of high-resolution scanning transmission electron microscopy with a high-angle annular dark field detector and energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry attachment to investigate the intracellular synthesis of palladium nanoparticles (Pd NPs). We show the intracellular synthesis of Pd NPs within cells of two anaerobic strains of D. desulfuricans and an aerobic strain of B. benzeovorans using hydrogen and formate as electron donors. The Pd nanoparticles were small and largely monodispersed, between 0.2 and 8 nm, occasionally from 9 to 12 nm with occasional larger nanoparticles. With D. desulfuricans NCIMB 8307 (but not D. desulfuricans NCIMB 8326) and with B. benzeovorans NCIMB 12555, the NPs were larger when made at the expense of formate, co-localizing with phosphate in the latter, and were crystalline, but were amorphous when made with H2, with no phosphorus association. The intracellular Pd nanoparticles were mainly icosahedrons with surfaces comprising {111} facets and about 5 % distortion when compared with that of bulk palladium. The particles were more concentrated in the cell cytoplasm than the cell wall, outer membrane, or periplasm. We provide new evidence for synthesis of palladium nanoparticles within the cytoplasm of bacteria, which were confirmed to maintain cellular integrity during this synthesis.

A molybdopterin oxidoreductase is involved in H2 oxidation in Desulfovibrio desulfuricans G20.

Project description:Three mutants deficient in hydrogen/formate uptake were obtained through screening of a transposon mutant library containing 5,760 mutants of Desulfovibrio desulfuricans G20. Mutations were in the genes encoding the type I tetraheme cytochrome c(3) (cycA), Fe hydrogenase (hydB), and molybdopterin oxidoreductase (mopB). Mutations did not decrease the ability of cells to produce H(2) or formate during growth. Complementation of the cycA and mopB mutants with a plasmid carrying the intact cycA and/or mopB gene and the putative promoter from the parental strain allowed the recovery of H(2) uptake ability, showing that these specific genes are involved in H(2) oxidation. The mop operon encodes a periplasm-facing transmembrane protein complex which may shuttle electrons from periplasmic cytochrome c(3) to the menaquinone pool. Electrons can then be used for sulfate reduction in the cytoplasm.
