Desulfovibrio desulfuricans AY5 Isolated from a Patient with Autism Spectrum Disorder Binds Iron in Low-Soluble Greigite and Pyrite.

ABSTRACT: The sulphate-reducing bacteria (SRB) of genus Desulfovibrio are a group of prokaryotes associated with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). The connection between the elevated numbers of Desulfovibrio in the gut of children with ASD compared with healthy children remains unresolved. A conceivable consequence of SRB overgrowth in the gut is the conversion of bioavailable iron into low-soluble crystalline iron sulphides, causing iron deficiency in the organism. In this study, we report the draft genome sequence and physiological features of the first cultivable isolate from a patient with ASD, Desulfovibrio desulfuricans strain AY5.The capability of the strain to produce crystalline iron sulphides was studied under different pH conditions. The most notable greigite(Fe₃S₄) and pyrite (FeS₂) formation was revealed at pH 6.0, which suggests that the iron loss due to insoluble sulphide formation may occur in the proximal part of the gastrointestinal tract. Strain AY5 was adapted to grow under nitrogen-limiting conditions by N₂ fixation. The urease found in the strain's genome may play a role in resistance to acidic pH.

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.

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.

Structure determination of a novel cyclic phosphocompound isolated from Desulfovibrio desulfuricans.

Project description:The structure of a novel diphosphodiester compound recently detected in Desulfovibrio desulfuricans cells [Santos, Fareleira, Pedregal, LeGall & Xavier (1991) Eur. J. Biochem. 201, 283-287] was fully elucidated using a combination of n.m.r. techniques in aqueous and in methanolic solutions. The novel metabolite was identified as 3-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroxybutane-1,3-cyclic bisphosphate, and the minimum energy conformation is presented. The two chiral centres have the relative configuration RS.

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.

Biochemical-genetic analysis and distribution of DES-1, an Ambler class A extended-spectrum beta-lactamase from Desulfovibrio desulfuricans.

Project description:Desulfovibrio spp. are gram-negative anaerobes phylogenetically related to Bacteroides spp., which are rarely isolated and which are mostly isolated from intra-abdominal abscesses. Desulfovibrio desulfuricans clinical isolate D3 had a clavulanic acid-inhibited beta-lactam resistance profile and was resistant to some expanded-spectrum cephalosporins. A beta-lactamase gene, bla(DES-1), was cloned from whole-cell DNA of isolate D3 and expressed in Escherichia coli. Purified beta-lactamase DES-1, with a pI value of 9.1, had a relative molecular mass of ca. 31 kDa and a mature protein of 288 amino acids. DES-1 was distantly related to Ambler class A beta-lactamases and most closely related to PenA from Burkholderia pseudomallei (48% amino acid identity). It was weakly related to class A beta-lactamases CblA, CepA, CfxA, and CfxA2 from other anaerobic species, Bacteroides spp. and Prevotella intermedia. Its hydrolysis spectrum included amino- and ureidopenicillins, narrow-spectrum cephalosporins, ceftriaxone, and cefoperazone. bla(DES-1)-like genes were not identified in phylogenetically related Desulfovibrio fairfieldensis isolates. However, they were found in some but not all D. desulfuricans strains, thus suggesting that these genes may be present in a given D. desulfuricans subspecies.
