Retains the color of the primary stain (crystal violet) after decolorization with alcohol. Gram-negative bacteria Cell wall has a thin peptidoglycan layer that does not retain crystal violet stain. Cell wall has a thick lipid layer which dissolves easily upon decoulorization with Aceton-Alcohol. Therefore, cells will be counterstained with safranin and turned red.

  • The Regulation of Arsenic Metabolism in Rhizobium Sp. NT-26
    The regulation of arsenic metabolism in Rhizobium sp. NT-26 Paula Corsini Madeira University College London Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy 2016 I, Paula Corsini Madeira, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. Date: Signed: II Abstract Arsenic (As) is a toxic metalloid and a major contaminant in terrestrial and aquatic environments. The two soluble forms, arsenite (AsIII) and arsenate (AsV) are toxic to most organisms. A range of phylogenetically distant bacteria are able to oxidize AsIII to the less toxic form, arsenate AsV using the periplasmic arsenite oxidase (AioBA). The two-component signal transduction system AioS/AioR and the AsIII-binding periplasmic protein AioX are required for AsIII oxidation and are involved in the transcriptional regulation of the aioBA operon. Most AsIII oxidisers can also reduce AsV to AsIII via the As (Ars) resistance system. The focus of this work was to understand the regulation of genes involved in AsIII oxidation and As resistance together with those involved in phosphate metabolism in the facultative chemolithoautotrophic AsIII oxidiser NT-26 grown under different conditions. Gene expression was studied by quantitative PCR in cells grown heterotrophically with and without AsIII or AsV in late-log and stationary phases. qPCR was optimised and suitable reference genes were chosen. The expression of genes involved in phosphate transport, sensing As and the genes aioX, aioS, aioR (AsIII-sensing and regulation) and aioB, aioA (AsIII oxidation) and cytC (cytochrome c) were also analysed in NT-26 grown heterotrophically in the presence or absence of AsIII or AsV at different growth stages (i.e., late-log and stationary phases).

  • Extreme Environments and High-Level Bacterial Tellurite Resistance

However, the majority of research has focused on the impact of this compound on microbes, namely E. coli, which have a very low level of resistance. Very little has been done regarding bacteria on the other end of the spectrum, with three to four orders of magnitude greater resistance than E. coli. With more focus on ecologically-friendly methods of pollutant removal, the use of bacteria for tellurite remediation, and possibly recovery, further highlights the importance of better understanding the effect on microbes, and approaches for resistance/reduction. The goal of this review is to compile current research on bacterial tellurite resistance, with a focus on high-level resistance by bacteria inhabiting extreme environments. Keywords: tellurite; tellurite resistance; extreme environments; metalloids; bioremediation; biometallurgy 1. Introduction Microorganisms possess a wide range of extraordinary abilities, from the production of bioactive molecules [1] to resistance to and transformation of highly toxic compounds [2–5]. Of great interest are bacteria which can convert the deleterious oxyanion tellurite to elemental tellurium (Te) through reduction. Currently, research into bacterial interactions with tellurite has been lagging behind investigation of the oxyanions of other metals such as nickel (Ni), molybdenum (Mo), tungsten (W), iron (Fe), and cobalt (Co).

  • The Role of Outer Membrane Proteins of Porphyromonas Gingivalis in Host-Pathogen Interactions Kathryn Lucy Naylor
    The Role of Outer Membrane Proteins of Porphyromonas gingivalis in Host-Pathogen Interactions By: Kathryn Lucy Naylor A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Sheffield Faculty of Medicine, Dentistry and Health School of Clinical Dentistry 23 / 08 / 2016 Summary The keystone periodontal pathogen, P. gingivalis, is a Gram-negative oral anaerobe that is strongly implicated as the prime etiological agent in the initiation and progression of periodontal disease. P. gingivalis contains a plethora of virulence factors, including fimbriae, proteases, lipopolysaccharides and outer membrane proteins that contribute to the pathogenesis of the disease. The bacterium also displays the ability to interact with host cells through the adherence and invasion both in vitro and in vivo. In this thesis new light has been shed on the role of the heterotrimeric outer membrane protein A (OmpA). Through the creation of ompA mutants and recombinant complementation plasmids, alongside the use of standard antibiotic protection assays in an oral epithelial cell line, this research has demonstrated the importance of OmpA, specifically the OmpA2 subunit, in the invasion of the host and in the ability of the bacteria to form biofilms. Structural analysis of the protein identified extracellular loops, which when synthetic versions were applied to host cells, demonstrated successful interruption of wild-type P. gingivalis adherence and invasion of the host, indicating a direct interaction of OmpA2 with oral epithelial cells. In particular, this research demonstrates that OmpA2-loop 4 plays an important role in the interaction with the host through significantly increased binding to host cells when applied to fluorescent latex beads.
